Đáp án: Amy apologized to me for making so much damage to my car.
Giải thích: “I’m sorry for making so much damage to your car,” Amy said to me. (“Tôi xin lỗi vì đã gây ra nhiều thiệt hại cho chiếc xe hơi của bạn.” Amy nói với tôi.)
Xét về nghĩa của câu trực tiếp, Amy đang muốn xin lỗi người nghe vì đã gây thiệt hại cho chiếc xe hơi nên ta cần dùng một động từ tường thuật diễn tả sự xin lỗi. Do đó, động từ “apologized” là phù hợp nhất. Ta có cấu trúc: “apologize (+ to somebody) + for + V-ing” (xin lỗi ai vì đã làm gì). Bên cạnh đó, ta cần biến đổi tính từ sở hữu “your” thành “my”.
Dịch nghĩa: Amy xin lỗi tôi vì đã gây ra nhiều thiệt hại cho chiếc xe hơi của tôi.
