　　planning to start a school, where disabled children could go and learn music. He also said it

　　was difficult to get enough money. Mr. Brain promised that he would ring him if he could

　　find any support. About two weeks later, Zheng Jie went to London and paid a visit to Mr.

　　Brain. Gary, the son of Mr. Brain, opened the door. When he recognized who Zheng Jie

　　was, he was very excited. He told his father that it was this pianist that helped him out

　　when he was in Paris, earning a living as a painter. And he also mentioned that the pianist

　　had lent him some money, but he had not repaid him. Later Dr. Brain told the pianist that

　　he would like to support his music school and he had written a cheque for him, which had six

　　zeros.

　　forgive与pardon有时可通用，但forgive往往表示除了免予惩罚和追究之外，还含有进一步的“不记旧账”“从心里宽恕”等意思。

　　excuse“原谅”，语气较轻，宾语一般是过错，疏忽或犯过失的人，常用于口语中；

　　pardon原意为“赦免”，在普遍用法中也有“免予惩罚或追究”之意。

　　forgive还可用于forgive sb. sth. 或forgive sb. for (doing) sth. 原谅/宽恕某人用某事。

　　excuse可用于excuse sb. for (doing) sth.外，还可用于excuse oneself for (doing) sth. 为自己（干）某……辩解。
