Welcome to Authentic Real English, with me, Neil…

And me, Feifei.

Neil
Sometimes when someone makes a mistake, we need to let them know that 'everyone makes mistakes, and they should try not to worry about it too much' – the expression we say is 'it happens to the best of us'.

Feifei
It happens to the best of us. Neil，给我们举几个例子吧？

Neil
Sure. Yesterday, my friend told me that he missed a deadline at work. He felt terrible about it, but I said, "Don't worry, it happens to the best of us."

Feifei
It happens to the best of us. 这种事情大家都会碰到，在所难免。

Neil
Here's another example. I went to a castle near where I live. At one point, my wife said that I should take a photo of it, but I had forgotten to bring my phone. I'd left it at home.

Feifei
It happens to the best of us. 人人都难免会遇到这种事情。我自己也有过不小心把东西落在家里的经历。

Neil
Let's hear some more examples.

Examples
During the speech, the CEO completely forgot what he was saying. It happens to the best of us.

My daughter failed her driving test, and she was really upset. I told her it happens to the best of us.

My friend missed his train because he overslept. It happens to the best of us.

你正在收听的是 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。以上我们介绍了表达 “it happens to the best of us” 的含义和用法。当我们想要安慰他人不要为自己犯下的错误感到太难过、太纠结的时候，就可以用 “it happens to the best of us”。

Neil
Yes, it's a common way to make someone feel better who's made a mistake and feels bad about it.

Feifei
没错，通常我们用 “it happens to the best of us” 来劝他人 “别太纠结于错误本身，要向前看”。

Neil
Yes, and sometimes we say 'it can happen to the best of us', using the verb 'can'.

Feifei
Well, we've run out of time – but that can happen to the best of us, can't it?

Neil
It can. Bye.

Feifei
Bye!
