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)電話竊聽丑聞“嚴(yán)重的錯(cuò)誤”公開道歉。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.
我們很后悔沒有更快地解決這些問題,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“自由公開的媒體應(yīng)該對(duì)社會(huì)起到積極作用”,我們需要說到做到?!?/p>
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.
在接下來的日子里,我們將會(huì)采取進(jìn)一步的具體行動(dòng)來解決這些問題,彌補(bǔ)這些錯(cuò)誤帶來的傷害,讓我們拭目以待吧!
