近期，魯伯特·默多克在所有全國(guó)性報(bào)紙的廣告版上為旗下新聞集團(tuán)電話竊聽(tīng)丑聞“嚴(yán)重的錯(cuò)誤”公開(kāi)道歉。下面是道歉信全文：

The News of the World was in the business of holding others to account. It failed when it came to itself.

世界新聞報(bào)身處一個(gè)“讓人們承擔(dān)責(zé)任”的行業(yè)，但它自己并沒(méi)有做到這點(diǎn)。

We are sorry for the serious wrongdoing that occurred. We are deeply sorry for the hurt suffered by the individuals affected.

對(duì)已經(jīng)發(fā)生的嚴(yán)重錯(cuò)誤，我們感到非常抱歉，對(duì)那些被傷害的人們，我們表示深深的歉意。

We regret not acting faster to sort things out. I realise that simply apologising is not enough.

我們很后悔沒(méi)有更快地解決這些問(wèn)題，我知道簡(jiǎn)單的道歉是不夠的。

Our business was founded on the idea that a free and open press should be positive force in society. We need to live up to this.

我們一直秉承的理念是“自由公開(kāi)的媒體應(yīng)該對(duì)社會(huì)起到積極作用”，我們需要說(shuō)到做到。”

In the coming days, as we take further concrete steps to resolve these issues and make amends for the damage they have caused, you will hear more from us.

在接下來(lái)的日子里，我們將會(huì)采取進(jìn)一步的具體行動(dòng)來(lái)解決這些問(wèn)題，彌補(bǔ)這些錯(cuò)誤帶來(lái)的傷害，讓我們拭目以待吧！
