一封道歉信 A letter of apology

　　dear prof. wang,

　　i m writing to ask you to excuse me for not being able to keep our appointment. i do know that this is very impolite and must have caused you much trouble.

　　i do reckon that at present any explanation is pale and futile. however i do not want you to misunderstand me. on my way to your office, an old lady suddenly fainted due to heart attack on the bus. i stopped a taxi and sent her into a nearby hospital. i stayed there until her son came, which spoiled our appointment.

　　i am aware that our appointment is of importance. i do hope that you would be kind enough to spare your valuable to meet me.

　　i am looking forward to hearing from you.

　　sincerely yours

　　親愛的王教授，

　　我寫信請(qǐng)求你原諒我的失約。我知道，這是非常不禮貌的，一定會(huì)給你造成麻煩。

　　我認(rèn)為目前任何解釋是徒勞的。但是我不想你誤解我的意思。在我去你辦公室，一個(gè)老太太突然暈倒了，由于車上的心臟病。我攔了一輛出租車，送她到附近的醫(yī)院。我呆在那里，直到她兒子來，把我們的約會(huì)。

　　我知道我們的約會(huì)是很重要的。我真的希望你能抽出你寶貴的迎接我。

　　我期待著你的來信。

　　你真誠(chéng)的
