我写这封信的目的是向你道歉英语翻译（汇总20篇）

Dear Mary，

I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to

you for your help when I was in difficulty。 You have been very kind and helpful

since we knew each other。

Last week， I caught a bad cold and had to stay at home for a week。 When I

was worrying about the lessons， you came to my home after school and helped me

with every subject。 With your help， I didn’t fall behind others。

Again， thanks so much for your enthusiastic help。 Even though you are to

about to go abroad for further education I know that I will always stay in touch

with you。 I wish you every success in the future and I hope we can exchange more

viewpoints on study。

Please keep in touch， and drop in and visit us whenever you are in this

part of the world。

Very sincerely

Peter

Dear Xiaoming,

I’m so excited about my trip to xining. Now i am writing to ask you for

help. Can you answer my questions? Thanks!

I need to have the right kinds of clothes and shoes. Next, what kind of food do

you ususally have in your family? Finally, what festival do you have during my

stay in xining? I will arrive on dec. 28 and leave on feb. 26. I hope there are

more interesting things to do together with your family.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

On the top of the mountain hill lived a little boy called Marlin. He was a

jolly fellow that helped people when they were in need.

The only problem was, whenever there was somebody in need, he would give

them something to eat so as to solve their problems. The people in his country

soon became sick of this, and so wanted him to stop. But Marlin just won’t; and

went on helping and helping and helping… nobody knew when he was going to stop,

or when they were going to let him know that they didn’t want him to bother all

day. Ugh, but Marlin wouldn’t stop; all day long he helped this and that, the

problem was that people don’t want to mordacity him, and they said that he was

very kind.

One day, Marlin saw a boy crying, and said, “Hey there little one; don’t

cry, I, the super Marlin is here! And I am going to solve your problem!” “I want

a music box,” at these words, Marlin was astonished, “A-a music b-box?” “Yes,”

replied the boy jumping happily, “But my parents won’t buy me one. It is at the

shop near Sunshine school. I hope to get me one! Wahoo!” Marlin said, “I

couldn’t afford a music box! It is worth $100!”

Marlin was very sad, but also wanted to try, for he was the king of

everything, and helps save the day. He ran to his house, and counted his money,

but found out that he only had $10. He was now very, very angry. He had decided

to earn more and more money, and so to help that poor little boy. As he had

promised, he worked very hard to earn money. Although he was just a little boy,

he ought to do what he had said; for those are the rules. And when he had enough

money, he would buy the music box, and hand it to that poor boy.

Marlin did anything he could to earn money: Sweep the floor, clean his

room; grow plants, water them, and cut flowers for the house. When he had

already $90, he had decided to help other people. When it was already winter, he

took a shovel and helped his neighbors, friends to shovel snow; and they paid

him a great deal of money.

At last, Marlin had got enough money; he was so excited that he hopped here

and there ten times! Finally, he went to the store near Sunshine school, and

bought the music box, and then handed it to the same boy at his home. Marlin

soon became famous, and he was called, ‘Marlin Blavatsky.’

George,

this is Jim. How are you doing in America? Did anything interesting happen?

I am studying in a Beijing school in China and my classmates are very good to

me.

When I encounter problems that wont happen, they always give me the

answers. They are very kind and friendly. In many parts of China and the United

States is not the same, such as diet, in the United States, we can eat bread,

pizza, hamburgers, but in Beijing I eat noodles, rice, dumplings, they are very

delicious, in Beijing, I got a kind of food called sugar-coated berry,

sugar-coated berry taste sweet and delicious. By the way, the habit of Chinese

people and American people are different, the Chinese have no afternoon tea, and

a lot of people dont drink coffee, there are always some people litter, or

Shouting at dinner, of course most people do not. Beijing is a very big city.

Beijing is the capital of China. It is very beautiful here. I live very well

here.

Have a nice day, George.

Your friend

Dear Ben,

How is everything? I am going to travel to England with my parents after finishing the final exam. We’d like to be away for about ten days. But I don’t know about England. I hope you can provide me with some information about the customs of England. I would like to travel to exciting places in England. Please introduce some interesting places to me.

Yours,

One sunday afternoon when I was learning to ride my bike, I fell down and

hurt my arms badly. As soon as my parents heard this, they took me to the

hospital at once.

During my stay in bed, they took good care of me and cheered me up.

Meanwhile, they helped me with my lessons. With their help, I caught up with my

classmates. Now ill try my best to study well to repay my parents.

According to the report that most children in the family don’t have to the housework, because their parents have done all the work for them. When students go to middle school, it means they are not the little girls and little boys anymore, they have grown up and it is time for them to learn to be independent. Doing the housework and reducing the parents’ burden help the children to be mature, what’s more, the parents should not overprotect their kids all the time, they can give some jobs to the children and lead them to be independent. Doing the housework is not a big deal, but it is the attitude to life.

据报道,大多数孩子在家里不用做家务,因为他们的父母为他们做了所有的工作。当学生进入中学,这意味着他们不是小女孩和小男孩,他们已经长大了,是时候让他们学会独立。做家务和减少父母的负担帮助孩子成熟,更重要的是,父母不应该过度保护他们的孩子,他们可以给孩子们一些工作,让他们独立。做家务不是一个大问题,但它是一种对生活的态度。

dear teacher ,

i am writing to you to express my thanks for your help in learning english

and speaking english.

during these days in your class, i have learned much from you and it is

very helpful to me. firstly, you let me know what is the west thinking

pattern—straight thinking pattern. and, i think, it is very important to

understand the west’s thoughts. as you know, this can help me with my

examination and interaction with foreigners. secondly, i have got enough

confidence in speaking in english from your class and it took me a long time to

gain this confidence. now, i always express my ideas in english as possible as i

can. it’s great to do that. the last not the least, i find that learning english

is not an boring thing as before and i’m interested in studying english which

was just a necessary task to pass examinations. reading, listening or speaking

all become interesting and i really enjoy it.

above all, i want to say thanks again to you. and thank you for your

time.

good luck!

Dear Xiao Lin,

I have had a busy holiday these winter because I will take part in the entrance examination this September.

I almost buried myself in the books every day. I had to go over every required subject and did a lot of exercises. I worked very hard, more than 10 hours a day. When I was tired I watched TV for a while and listened to music, but I never went to the cinema or theater. I had to refuse several invitations from my relatives and classmates. I only called them to greet them on the eve of the Spring Festival. How I wish there were no examinations at all, but of course it is impossible.From joozone.com.

I will try my best to get better results and go to were no examinations at all, but of course it is impossible. I will try my best to get better results and go to Qing Hua University, which I have been longing for. How is your vacation? Best wishes to you and your family!

Yours

亲爱的老师：

您好!

您是一位好老师，对学生十分负责，不像五年级时的英语王老师，动不动就说不给上课(还真不给上课)，您虽然动不动就发火，可是您还是爱我们的呀。

记得有一次，您上课的时候，可我们在下面又是说，又是笑，又是比划，可忙坏了。您开始想着我们会改正(这是我理解的)，但我们还不改正，反而变本加厉的说着我们感兴趣的话题。您生气了，把书往桌上狠狠地扔了一下，您对我们大喊：“停!”我们吓的打一了颤，然后赶紧装模作样的拿起书读，谁知我们一出声，就“驴头不对马嘴”。您又发火了，干脆坐下来和我们比赛——看谁“熬”过谁。我们一见您这阵势，我们也不读了，但是就怕您告诉数学老师，让他批我们。过了一会，要下课了，您气消了，又教我们读起了英语。

还有一次，班上同学——王莹在英语课上，肚子里“翻江倒海”，头上也渗出了豆大的汗珠，满脸通红。下课了，您还在“拖”课，走到王莹那，看见她的样子。于是手拉着王莹的手，一手摸着她的头，亲切的问她的病情，并安慰她。您拉着她下楼，她烧的太厉害，四肢抽筋，您便把她背了下去。

老师，您是多么爱我的呀，我们将永远感谢您!

祝您：

永远年轻，永远美丽!

您的学生

女友：

啊!我不是故意要欺骗你的!

之所以做出欺骗你的行为全然是这个客观世界的因素制约，加上我主观方面没有充分地提高警觉，以至于心理防线遭遇攻破，形成了一部分的道德真空，让污秽之气沁入心扉。

我实在不是你想象得那样的人啊。我没有什么花言巧语的天赋，我只是想用更多语言描述我心中的情感，好让大家能够互相了解啊。

我们知道，这个世界很是多维的多元的，实在是语言无法彻底说清楚的。

在这里，你要是实在不能原谅我，我也不会觉得你小心眼的，我只会默默伤心，深深难过，自己在家里反省思过。

My Darling McGeorge

You said that things seemed clearer when they were written down. Well, here

with a very boring letter in which I will try to put everything down so that you

may read and re-read it at a horror at your folly in getting involved with

me.

Deep breath. To begin with ,I love you. With a depth and passion and I have

felt for no one else in this life. And if it is astonishes you, it astonished me

as well. Not, I hasten to say, because you are not worth loving. Far from it.

Its just that, first of all,I swore I would not get involved with another

woman. Secondly, I have never had such a feeling before and it is almost

frightening. Thirdly, I would never have thought it possible that another human

being could occupy my waking and sleeping thoughts to the exclusion of almost

everything else. Fourthly, I never thought that even if one was in love one

could get so completely besotted with another person so that a minute away from

them felt like a thousand years. Fifthly, I never hoped,aspired, dreamed that

one can find everything one wanted in one person.

I was not such an idiot as to believe this was possible. Yet in you I have

found everything I want: youre beautiful, gay, giving, gentle, idiotically and

deliciously feminine, sexy, wonderfully intelligent and wonderfully silly as

well. I want nothing else in this life than to be with you, to listen and watch

you, your beautiful voice, your beauty, to argue with you, to laugh with you, to

show you things, to share things with you, to explore your magnificent mind, to

explore your wonderful body, to help you, protect you, serve you ,and...bash you

on the head when I think you are wrong...

Not to put too fine a point on it, I consider that I am the only man

outside mythology to have found crock of gold at the rainbows end. But, having

said all that, let us consider things in details. Dont let this become public,

but, well...I have one or two faults. Minor ones,I hasten to say. For example I

am inclined to be overbearing. I do it for the best possible motives, all

tyrants say that, but I do tend, without thinking, to treat people underfoot.

You must tell me when Im doing it to you, my sweet, because it can be a very

bad thing in a marriage.

Right, the second blemish. This actually is not so much a blemish of

character as a blemish of circumstance. Darling, I want you to be you on your

own right, and I will do everything I can to help you in this. But you must take

into consideration that I am also me in my own right. And that I have a head

start on you. What Im trying to say is that you must not feel offended if you

are sometimes treated simply as my wife. Always remember that what you lose on

the swings you gain on the roundabouts. But i am an established ‘creature’ in

the world, and so on occasions you will have to live in my shadow. Nothing gives

me less pressure than this. But it is a fact of life that has to be faced.

Third, a very important and nasty, blemish. Jealousy. I dont think you

know what jealousy is, thank god, in the real sense of the word. I know that you

have felt jealousy over Lincolns wife and child, but this is what I call normal

jealousy, and this to my regret, is not what Ive got. What I have got is a

black monster and any goodness that I have in my make-up. It is really a Jekyll

and Hyde situation... my Hyde is stronger than my good sense and defeats me,

hard though I try. As I told you, I have always known that this lurks within me,

but I could control it, and my monster slumbered and nothing happened to awake

it. Then I met you and I felt my monster stir and become half-awake when you

told me of Lincoln and others you have known, would you like to end with your

letter my monster came out of its lair, black, irrational, bigoted, stupid,

evil, malevolent. You never know how terribly corrosive jealousy is; It is a

physical pain as though you have swallowed acid or red hot coals. It is the most

terrible of feelings. But you cant help it at least I cant and god knows Ive

tried. I dont want any ex-boyfriends sitting in church when I marry you. On our

wedding day I want nothing but happiness both for you and me, but I know I wont

be happy if there is a church full of your ex-conquests. When I marry you I will

have no past, only a future. I dont want to drag my past into our future and I

dont want you to do it, either. Remember I am jealous of you because I love

you. You are never jealous of something you dont care about.

Okay enough about jealousy. Now let me tell you something. I have seen a

thousand sunsets and sunrises, in a thousand sunsets and sunrises on land where

it floods forest mountains with honey-coloured light, at sea where it rises and

sets like a blood orange in a multi-coloured nest of cloud, slipping in and out

of the vast ocean. I have seen thousand moons. Harvest moon is like gold coins,

winter moons as white as ice chips, new moons like baby swans feathers. I have

seen seas as smooth as if painted, coloured like shot silk or blues as a

kingfisher or transparent as glass or black and crumpled with foam, moving

ponderously and murderously. I have felt winds straight from the south pole,

bleak and wailing like a lost child; Winds as tender and warm as a lovers

breath; Winds that carried the astringent smell of salt and the death of

seaweeds; Winds during the moist rich smell of a forest floor, the smell of a

million flowers. Fierce winds that churned and moved the sea like yeast, or

winds that made the waters lap at the shore like a kitten. Ive known silence:

the cold, earthy silence at the bottom of a newly dug well; The implacable stony

silence of a deep cave; The hot, drugged midday silence when everything is

everything is hypnotized and still moved into silence by the eye of the sun. The

silence when great music ends. Ive heard that summer cicadas cry so that the

sound seems stitched into your bones. Ive heard a tree frogs in an

orchestration as complicated as Bach singing in a forest lit by a million

emerald fireflies. Ive heard the Keas calling over the grey glaciers that

groaned to themselves like old people as they inched. Their way to the sea. Ive

heard the hoarse street vendor cries of the mating Fur seals as they sang to

their sleek golden wives, the crisp staccato admonishment of the rattlesnake,

make the cobweb squeak of the Bat and the belling roar of the red deer knee-deep

in purple heather. Ive heard wolves baying at a winters moon, read howlers

making the forest vibrate with their roaring cries. Ive heard the squeak, purr

and grunt of a hundred multi-coloured reef fishes. I’ve seen hamming birds

flashing like opals round a tree of scarlets blooms, humming like a top. I have

seen flying fish skittering like quicksilver across the blue waves, drawing

silver lines on the surface with their tails. Ive seen Spoonbills flying home

to roost like a scarlet banner crossed the sky. Ive seen Whales, black as tar,

cushioned on a cornflower blue sea,creating a Versailles of fountain with their

breath. I have watched butterflies emerge and sit, trembling, while the sun

irons their wings smooth. I watch tigers, like flames, mating in the long grass.

I have been dive -bombed by an angry Raven, black and glossy as the Devils

hoof. Ive lain in water warm as milk, soft as silk, while around me played a

host of Dolphins. I have met a thousand animals and see a thousand wonderful

things.

All this I did without you. This was my loss. All this I want to do with

you. This will be my gain. All this I would gladly have forgone for the sake of

one minute of your company, for your love, your voice, your eyes, hair, lips,

body, and above all for your sweet, ever surprising mind which is an enchanting

quarry, in which it is my privilege to delve.

Gerald Durrell

Dear teacher

Hello! First of all, I wish you a happy Spring Festival and a happy

family!

Time like water, five years of primary school is fleeting. In these five

years, it is you who have given us the blue sky, let us fly freely in the ocean

of knowledge, it is you who have given us sunshine and let us open like

flowers.

I still remember that on the first day of entering the school, our first

Chinese teacher and the first head teacher of my primary school, Ruan, led us to

visit the campus. I was most impressed by her bright laughter and warm eyes. Mr.

Zhu, a lovely math teacher, is very vivid in class. There is also mis Wang, our

English teacher. She is the spirit of our class. At Christmas, she came to our

classmates with a bag of presents on her back. At this moment, your smiling

faces flash in front of my eyes.

After entering the fourth grade, we have to change teachers. Looking at

each others eyes, we are sad. At this time, a small pink figure on the

platform, a baby face, is a pair of bright eyes. Fashion clothing, bright colors

suddenly lit up our small eyes. This is the second head teacher of my primary

school --- Mr. Zhao Ying. Mr. Zhao teaches us how to be a human being ten

minutes before class every day. Tell us that it is not important to win or lose

once, but to never give up and stick to it. Our math teacher is as quick as a

gust of wind, speaking fast, marking homework fast. My slow temperament is often

confused by this speed.

Our English teacher Mr. Wangs decomposition learning method makes me no

longer hate English.

Dear teachers, over the past five years, you have been making great efforts

to educate us. You are like a big tree, and we are thriving in your shade. You

have given us the same care as our mother, which makes me feel extremely happy

and makes me interested in learning,

Yes, sometimes you are very strict with us, and you are often strict with

us. You also often teach us lessons and be responsible for us. Even if we have a

little bit of mistakes, you will find out. But I know that you are for us to

learn better and deeper, so that we can have great achievements in the

future.

Teacher, thank you for your serious and responsible education, thank you

for your concern for us, thank you for teaching us a lot of knowledge, thank you

for your selfless dedication to us, a thousand and ten thousand "thank you" can

not express my gratitude to you!

I wish teachers:

Healthy and beautiful forever!

Your student: Zhou Kexin

I have a little dog. Its name is Googlo. He is three years old. He has two

big eyes. Theyre black. He has one blue ear and one black ear. He is

clever.

I like my Googlo. He likes playing with me. He can bark, jump and run. He

can play football, basketball and volleyball. He likes playing football very

much. He likes some fruit, such as apples, bananas, oranges, pears and

watermelons. He enjoys his snacks.

I love my dog--Googlo. He is very interesting.

Mathematics was too difficult for me, the teacher spoke so fast that I

could not understand. I failed every math exam, my dad was very angry, he

wouldnt let me watch TV, or let me go out, I was very sad. The math teacher

always asks me to go to the office and tell me the problem. I am not afraid to

make mistakes, because I can correct them. I keep practicing, speed up my

problem, and dont forget to preview and review. In the most recent exam, I

achieved excellent results in maths. A good learner has many good learning

habits.

数学对我来说太难了，老师讲的太快，以至于我不能听懂。每次数学考试我都不及格，我的爸爸很生气，他不让我看电视，也不让我出去玩，我很难过。数学老师总是让我去办公室，给我讲题。我开始不害怕犯错，因为我还可以改正。我不断的练习，加快了我的做题速度，并且不忘记预习和复习。在最近的一次考试里，我的数学成绩达到了优秀。一个好的学习者有很多好的学习习惯。

After a few hours of resting, it was time to do some evening chores. Jack

grabbed his notebook and pen, he put on his glasses; and tried to concentrate

and read about his notes he had written before bed last night.

“Going to tree house, many books on the floor; open page dinosaur, made a

wish; arrived at time of dinosaurs. Open page frog lake creek, made a wish;

arrived at adventure frog lake creek,” “Who is going to believe allthese? Not my

mother, not my father, not my teacher Mrs. Waltson…” Only his little sister

Annie, she had gone with to the time of the dinosaurs, and frog lake creek…

Suddenly there was a “Bang, bang, bang!” on the door, “Who is there?” asked

Jack, his little sister Annie pushed open the door; and said, “Can you sleep?”

“Nope, of course not, I didn’t do my evening chores; and besides, who wants to

do chores now and then?” “Do you want to go to the magic tree house?” “No, it is

too late, and mother and father would probably be angry if they figured we

aren’t in bed.” “Well I’m going,” said Annie, “All right,” answered Jack in a

sudden. He put on his jeans, and sweater, and then rushed out down stairs. Annie

came out with a flashlight; she shined it bright in Jack’s face, “Boo!” Jack was

scared, “Gotcha! Ha!” Jack was angry, “Annie, stop messing around;” “Okay, fine!

Ugh!” then Annie clipped the flashlight onto her belt.

Jack took another flashlight, then they tip-toed down stairs; when they

arrived, Jack said, “I don’t know Annie; i-i-i-i-t looks a bit scary and

dangerous…” “Oh come on scary cat! It’s just a tree house, do you want to see

the magic person and the golden medal or not!?” “Medallion, not medal;” said

Jack quietly. “Whatever, let us go and see what the golden medal looks like;

come on!” “Medallion!” said Jack, “And what if the magic person was not nice?!”

“You are such a scary cat; at least you get to take the gold medal as a reward

of you bravery.”

“Medallion!!” shouted Jack for the third time, “Come on, I know you are

caught up with this so called ‘Medallion’ thingy, let’s just go! Don’t waste

time!” after saying that, Annie climbed up the ladder all the way to the top of

the tree house; “Annie! No!” shouted Jack, but he was too late; Annie already

climbed up, Jack had no choice; he climbed up too, and when he arrived he found

the floor all covered with books, “let us make another wish so that we could

have another adventure!” “No!” cried Jack, “Well I’m going!” shouted Annie, he

found a page with a knight, she pointed to the picture; and within a second they

were surrounded by knights; “Oh no,” thought Jack.

25th, 2008 sunday fine

this morning i got up early. after breakfast, i helped mom with housework.

then i did my homework. the homework was very interesting, so i did it well. in

the afternoon, i played table tennis with my friend lingling, we enjoyed

ourselves very much. in the evening i watched tv with my parents and then

prepared my self for the next days lesson.

what a busy day today!

There was once an old goat that was very, very old; he could barely walk,

and was always sleepy during important emergencies. One day the goat went off to

eat grass among the fields.

During the time, the goat did not realize that the goat pack had gone

straight in front of him. He had no choice but to continue straight on. As soon

as he passed the hill, he found the goat pack had already crossed three other

mountains… The old goat was tired of climbing and walking, so he decided to

rest. After a short break, he was sure that the goat pack had already wiped him

away far back behind.

The goat decided to find a place to be made a shelter for him to sleep

tonight. Along the way, the old goat walked along; he trembled along the way. At

last, he found a big round cave for him to sleep in, so that he could rest his

energy and continue his journey…

The old goat didn’t even realize that this was home to the lion, king of

all animals. As soon as he approached the mouth of the cave, the lion smelled

the goat out with his nose. The lion shouted, “Who are you that dare come to my

house? I am going to destroy you, and eat you up for breakfast!!!!” the old goat

was frightened out of his wits, he wanted to run, but knew that he was not fast

enough. He closed his mouth and held his breathe, and pretended not to be

frightened or afraid.

He walked inside the cave and saw the terrifying lion king. The lion never

saw this kind of thing before, he was frightened now; and asked, “Why are you

here? And who are you? And…” Before he could even finish his speech, the g oat

answered; “I am the goat empress, and I have come to see you…” “See me?” asked

the lion, “Yes,” replied the goat ‘empress’; “I can live no much longer, and

even walking; but, before I die, I want to eat: 100 elephants, 75 wild oxen, 63

wild pigs, and 25 lions. Now I had already had: Elephants, wild oxen, and wild

pigs; I am looking for a lion to eat now!” the lion was so frightened.

“You know what empress, I am too dirty, and I should probably wash up

before you…You know, Gulp! Eat me up!” as he said those words, he backed up

towards the mouth of the cave, and rushed out immediately with his back legs

between his jaws…

Along the way, he bumped into a jackal, the jackal asked; “Hey, I am the

cranky jackal dear king; and what has gotten you in such a fright?” the lion

took a breath and answered, “There was a goat ‘empress’ in my cave that wants to

eat me!” “The goat empress? I never heard of such a thing!”

The lion replied, “Then come with me to the cave… Gulp!”

And so the lion led the jackal to his cave, the goat ‘empress’ saw them

coming, and answered; “Jackal, what do you think you’re doing? I asked you to

bring me 25 lions, but you just brought me one! I’m going to eat you both up for

breakfast!” the lion trembled and shouted at the jackal, “Jackal, you tricked me

into this trap?! How dare!”

At these words the jackal ran away, and the lion ran to a place far, far

away…
