A Letter of Apology

说不出的歉意

 

June 17, 2014

Dear Angie:

　　Even though I haven't been able to reach you for two weeks, I know you are upset and disappointed with me. Since you won't answer my phone calls or respond to my emails, I am writing this letter.

　　I'm sure you've found out that I told Jimmy about your crush on him. I didn't intend to reveal your secret, but while I was talking to him, it just slipped out. As soon as I told him, I knew I had made a mistake and deeply regretted it. Another thing I regret is gossiping about your ex-boyfriend behind your back. I saw him kissing another girl a few weeks ago. I told a few people about it, but I didn't tell you because I knew you would feel terrible. Now I realize that you were the first person I should have told. I know my behavior shows poor judgment, and I am so sorry. Please forgive me. I hope we can still be friends.

 

Apologetically,

Marsha

 

亲爱的安琪：

　　虽然我已有两个星期没有办法联络到妳，但我知道妳很难过，对我也很失望。因为妳不接我的电话，也不回我的电子邮件，所以我才写了这封信。

　　相信妳一定已经发现，我告诉吉米妳喜欢他。我并不是故意要泄露妳的秘密，但当我和他讲话时，不小心就说出了妳的秘密。我一说出来，马上就知道自己犯了大错而深感后悔。另一件令我后悔的事就是我背着妳说妳前男友的八卦。几星期前我看到他亲别的女生。我跟几个人讲过这件事，但我没有告诉妳，因为我知道妳心情会很糟。现在我明白妳才是我第一个应该告知的人。我知道自己的行为缺乏判断力，我实在很对不起妳。请原谅我。我希望我们还能做朋友。

 

玛莎　敬上
