英語電郵教學|7個道歉用的英語電郵範例

Sorry for the delay.

►因為遲回覆而向對方道歉時,「sorry」是英文裡最常見的方式。

英文例句一︰Sorry for the late reply.

英文例句二︰So sorry for not replying sooner!

英文例句三︰Sorry, I'm just getting back to you.

後面再加上遲回覆的理由,讓對方知道你不是有意遲覆。

英文例句四︰So sorry for not replying sooner! I was busy getting the data you requested. You'll find everything you need in the attached file.

(中文翻譯︰很抱歉未能更早一點回覆!我忙著取得你需要的資料,所有你需要的東西都在附件中。)

Apologies for the delay.

►「apologies」=「my apologies」的簡短說法,兩者在英文都是道歉的正式用法,不過在電郵會較常見到「apologies」。

英文例句一︰Apologies for the delay. I am available for a call anytime this morning.

(中文翻譯︰抱歉晚回覆。我今天早上任何時段都方便通電話。)

英文例句二︰Please find the meeting minutes attached. My apologies for the delay in sending these out.

(中文翻譯︰請查收附件內的會議紀錄,很抱歉我晚寄出這些內容。)

如果想令自己的道歉更有禮,可用上sincere/ sincerest apologies

英文例句三︰Sincere apologies for the delayed response. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide the information you requested.

(中文翻譯︰為晚回覆獻上誠摯的歉意。很不幸我們並無法提供你要求的資訊。)

*緊記別把apologies寫成單數的「apology」。

apology 道歉的動作
apologies 我很抱歉


I apologize for the delay.

►這是表達抱歉的另一種正式用法。

英文例句一︰I apologize for taking so long to reply. Your email went to my spam folder and just came to my attention now.

(中文翻譯︰我為經過這麼久才回覆致上歉意。你的信件跑到我的垃圾郵件裡面,我現在才看到。)

英文例句二︰I apologize for the slow response. I was waiting for feedback from another team. I'll follow up with you by Friday!

(中文翻譯︰我為這麼慢才回覆你致上歉意。我在等待另一個團隊那邊的回覆,我會在周五前給你回覆!)

假如有機會遲回覆,可用到「I apologize (in advance)」

英文例句三︰I will be traveling next week with limited access to the internet, so I apologize in advance for any possible delays.

(中文翻譯︰我下周去旅行時可能不會一直有網路可用,所以我先為可能晚回覆你致上歉意。)

Please excuse the delay.

►Please excuse(something)=請原諒(我做的某件事)

英文例句一︰Please excuse my delayed reply. We've been busy working on the bug that was reported last week. I'll update you when we've fixed it.

(中文翻譯︰請原諒我晚回覆。我們一直忙著處理上周別人回報的漏洞。我們修好之後我再跟你更新。)

英文例句二︰Please excuse any delayed responses next week as I will be on leave. For emergencies, please contact my colleague marry at marry@ctgoodjobs.hk.

(中文翻譯︰請原諒我下周任何晚回覆的行為,因為我會請假。如果有急事,請透過marry@ctgoodjobs.hk.和我同事marry聯繫。)

Please accept my apologies for the delay.

►my apologies 最原本的寫法就是Please accept my apologies,同樣是表達歉意非常正式的一個說法。

英文例句一︰The information you have requested is attached below. Please accept my apologies for the delayed response.

(中文翻譯︰你先前要的資訊附檔在郵件。請原諒我晚來的回覆。)

Thank you for the reminder

►假若想正面一點表達歉意,可以用感謝代替。

英文例句一︰Thank you for the reminder. I can absolutely attend the meeting on Thursday. Could you please send me the schedule?

(中文翻譯︰感謝您的提醒。周四的會議我定能出席。可以麻煩您把議程寄給我嗎?)

英文例句二︰Thank you for following up. I wanted to reach out sooner, but I'm still waiting on my manager to approve the budget.

(中文翻譯︰感謝您更新進度。我本想要更快與您聯繫,但因為我還在等經理審核這筆預算。)

Thank you for your patience.

►這是客服電郵常見句子

英文例句一︰We have forwarded your email to the relevant team. Please expect a response from them within 3-5 business days. Thank you for your patience while we resolve this issue.

(中文翻譯︰我們已將您的信件轉交給相關團隊。您將在3-5個工作天內收到回覆。感謝您在我們解決此問題時耐心等待。)
