因未能及时还书致歉 Unable to return borrowed book on time
Dear Kate:
Excuse me for my long delaying in returning to you your “Robinson Crusoe” which I read through with great interest。 I had finished reading the book and was about to return it when my cousin came to see me。 Never having seen the book， She was so interested in it that I had to retain it longer。 However， I hope that in view of the additional delight thus afforded by your book， you will overlook my negligence in not returning it sooner。
Thanking you again for the loan。
Sincerely yours，
Tom
亲爱的凯特：
我迟迟未能归还您的那本《鲁滨逊飘流记》，请原谅。该书我读得津津有味。读完后，正预备归还您时，我的表妹来访，见这本书也感兴趣，定要借去一读。为了让别人也能分享您那本书所给予的乐趣，我不能及时归还。我想再延迟些日子奉还，谅您不会介意的。
再次感激您的慷慨。

因遗失借书致歉 Because of losing a borrowed book
Dear Frank:
I am terribly sorry to tell you that I have lost the valuable book you were so kind to lend me last week。 I read it everyday and intended to finish it next month。 Last night when I came to my room， it was nowhere to be found。 I will try to recover it as soon as possible。 If I fail to find it， I will get a new book for you。
But I am afraid it can never take the place of the old one。 Old books are like old friends。 Once lost， they can never be replaced。 They are connected with cherished associations which the new ones can never have。 And for this irrecoverable loss， I am to blame。 I was so careless with my things。 This is a warning to me to be more careful in the future。
Yours truly，
Tom
亲爱的弗兰克：
很抱歉，上星期您借给我的那本书竟遗失了。我每一天都在看，准备下个月看完。昨晚我回到我的卧室，到处也找不到那本书。我将尽力找到它。万一找不到，我只好买一本新的还您。
可是，新书恐怕不能代替那本旧书吧!旧书跟旧友一样，一旦失去就不能再得。旧书与往事相连，这种不可弥补的损失，皆由我起。我对待一切太大意了，这次给我一个警告，叫我以后要细心。

Dear Friends，
Please accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience that I caused you by adding the extra visiting without your permission。
I had no intention of intruding on your personal life。 In China， arranging interesting leisure activities for visitors is a mon way to show wele。 However， as your receptionist， I should have realized that you are inclined to regard your private time as an inviolable treasure and hate to be harassed by unplanned matters。
I’m really sorry that I didn’t check with you before making such insiderate arrangement 。All I can say is that it won’t happen again。
Sincerely，
LiLi

Apology Letter
Dear Mary，
I am writing to apologize for my immediate going home after the exam without saying goodbye to you。 It was very rude of me to do so especially as we have been such good friends。
You know， shortly after the exam ， I received a telephone call from my father， saying that my elder sister had borne a baby the day before。 I was so pleased at this news that I couldn’t wait to get home to see my elder sister and niece。 I left in such a hurry that I didn’t have time to tell you。 I feel terribly sorry for that 。
To make up for my thoughtless behavior toward you， I want to invite you to e and stay with my family during the vacation 。 My hometown is located in a city on the seashore and this is the most beautiful season of my hometown 。
I believe you can understand me and accept my sincere apologies。 How I wish I cold see you soon in my hometown! Please write and let me know your decision。
Yours faithfully

Dear Bob，
I’m writing to apologize for having forgotten to return the “the Beatles” CD to you when I left Canada，I was in such a hurry that I packed everything in my luggage without checking carefully。Had I paid more attention then，I wouldn’t have made such a stupid mistake。
Now something must be done to solve the problem because I understand you cherish the CD enormously。I can either send it to you by express mail or alternatively pensate you at a reasonable price。If you do not mind，I may bring it back to you next time I go to Canada。
Please let me know which solution you prefer at your earliest convenience。I really hope you will accept my sincere apology。
Faithfully yours，

Dear Ms Winston，
亲爱的温斯顿女士：
The purpose of this is to convey to you my sincere apologies for any inconvenience you may have experience last month with respect to the installation of your Internet high speed service。
我的目的是向您表示诚挚的歉意，对于您在上个月安装互联网高速服务时可能遇到的任何不便。
I just returned from vacation this week and found your file in my in-basket。 As soon as I reviewed your case it was clear that somehow your Jau。 20th request for a change in service had somehow slipped through the cracks。 The only possible explanation I can give is that we have recently had a number of key staff changes， which might have resulted in your letter being overlooked。
我刚从这个假期回来，发现你的文件在我的篮子里。我一看你的案子，就明白你的JAU了。第二十要求改变服务的方式不知怎样地从裂缝中溜走了。我能给出的唯一可能的解释是，我们最近发生了一些关键的员工变动，这可能导致您的信被忽略。
Consequently， I have directed our installation group to contact you by the end of this week to set up a time convenient to you when they could go to your house and install your new router and make the necessary adjustments to your software。
所以，我已指示我们的安装小组在本周末之前与您联系，以便为您安排一个方便的时光，以便他们能够去您家安装您的新路由器，并对您的软件进行必要的调整。
Because of this serious oversight， and as a testament to our appreciation of you as out customer ， we are going to provide you with your first three months of high speed service for free charge。 There fore， your account will not be billed until June of this year。
由于这次的严重疏忽，作为我们对您作为我们的客户的感激的证明，我们将免费为您供给头三个月的高速服务。所以，您的帐户将不会计费到今年六月。
Ms。 Winston， let me assure you that what happened in your case is not typical of CableNet’s level of customer service。 We continue to be mitted to providing you and all of our customers with the highest standards of service in the industry。
温斯顿女士，让我向你保证，在你的情景下发生的事情不典型的CableNet的客户服务水平。我们将继续致力于为您和我们所有的客户供给最高的服务标准。
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to call me。
如果你有任何问题，请不要犹豫，123456点钟打电话给我。

Dear my husband，
While you’re reading this letter， maybe I’m doing my math or English homework— if not， chemistry。
I’m very sorry for what I had done if I really hurt your feelings。 I sincerely beg for your forgiveness。
I remember when I met you for the first time， I lost my heart to you。 I knew that you are the right person that I would get married to。 And I could tell that you knew it too when you looked at me— It was like the wind in the spring flowing across my face。 It felt so good。
I remember when we got married， I drew our marriage certificate。 Although the certificate was simple and， maybe a little ugly， it contains all my love for you and it weighs one thousand pounds。 I’ll remember it all my life。
I remember when I put my arms around your waist for the first time， it was all as if we were the only human-beings in the world， no one else— just NO ONE ELSE。
I remember that we shared our sweets， we sat together to discuss how to solve a math problem， we talked and laughed。 We loved each other so much。
I remember。 There are so many things for us to remember and value， my dear。 You are the best ong that I’ve decided to devote all my love and life to。 The doves flying in the sky， the fish playing in the water， the leaves singing on the top of yhe oak can all help prove my strong love for you! Winter having gone so far， I still miss the snow which was like our beautiful love。 Oh。 I can never forget the days we have spent together。 And there is also the most wonderful future for us to look forward to。
SO， PLEASE， my dear。 I don’t know why you have suggested that we get divorced， but I know that I must have done something really wrong and that I must apologize。 I’m so sorry。 Please forgive me， and GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE!!!
Yours，
Olivia

Dear David:
I am afraid that you will think me unpardonably negligent in not having answered your letter dated 7， December sooner， but when I have told you the reason， I trust you will be convinced that the neglect was excusable。 When your letter arrived， I was just in Hong Kong。 As my family could not forward it to me during my absence， it has been， therefore， lying on my desk until the moment when I took it up。 Now the first thing I have to hasten to do is to write to you these few lines to express my deep regret。
I enjoyed many pleasant sights during my trip。 I shall be pleased to give you an account to of them when I see you next。

英文道歉信（十六）：
Dear Dr。 M。C。(note: name of the editor)，
I am terribly sorry to write this letter to you for my apology。
When I know about this affair， I was not too much startled and shocked， because after the student sent the same article to two of your magazines， I had found it from my E-mail massage。 Immediately I gave the student very serious criticizes。
Anyhow， on the following day， the “AFM”(Note: name of the journal)， one of the two magazines， gave the feedback response， saying that this article is rejected for some reasons。 Therefore， I took it for granted that there is no more problem of “one paper for two magazines”， and neglected apology。 Now I do realize this serious matter and feel absolutely sorry about that。
As for this irrecoverable thing， I am to blame。 I was so careless with my student’s action。 This is a warning to me to be more careful in the future。 Although the student’s distributing one article to two magazines is without my permission but only her own action， I do not want to escape from my responsibility as a teacher。 In this regard， I am deeply disappointed and saddened。 However， I wish this matter will teach my student a lesson。
Lastly， I would like now to apologize to you for all the troubles and problems that have happened。 I promise that this kind of thing will never happen again。 I hope I can have your forgiveness， and please give me chances to contact with you in the future。
Thank you for listening to what I have said。
Sincerely yours，
A。B。C。(Miss)
