excuse /ɪkˈskjuːs/
(noun)
lí do, cớ
Ví dụ:
  • His excuse for forgetting her birthday was that he had lost his diary.
  • Late again! What's your excuse this time?
  • It's late. I'm afraid I'll have to make my excuses(= say I'm sorry, give my reasons and leave).

Để những từ này thật sự trở thành từ của mình,
tôi phải đặt ví dụ do chính TÔI tự nghĩ ra!
