近期,鲁伯特·默多克在所有全国性报纸的广告版上为旗下新闻集团电话窃听丑闻“严重的错误”公开道歉。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.
世界新闻报身处一个“让人们承担责任”的行业,但它自己并没有做到这点。
We are sorry for the serious wrongdoing that occurred. We are deeply sorry for the hurt suffered by the individuals affected.
对已经发生的严重错误,我们感到非常抱歉,对那些被伤害的人们,我们表示深深的歉意。
We regret not acting faster to sort things out. I realise that simply apologising is not enough.
我们很后悔没有更快地解决这些问题,我知道简单的道歉是不够的。
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.
我们一直秉承的理念是“自由公开的媒体应该对社会起到积极作用”,我们需要说到做到。”
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.
在接下来的日子里,我们将会采取进一步的具体行动来解决这些问题,弥补这些错误带来的伤害,让我们拭目以待吧!
