News Corp Chief Executive Rupert Murdoch used advertisements in national newspapers on Saturday to apologise for the 'News of the World's "serious wrongdoing."

新聞集團首席執行長魯伯特梅鐸，周六在全國性報紙上刊登廣告，為世界新聞報的「嚴重罪行」道歉。

The media tycoon said he was "deeply sorry" for the suffering caused to victims of the news hacking scandal.

傳媒大亨說，對遭受竊聽消息醜聞之苦的受害者，我「深感歉意」。

The advert was running in Saturday's Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, Financial Times, Guardian, Independent, Sun and Times, News International said.

新聞國際說，該廣告在週六的每日郵報、每日電訊報、金融時報、衛報、獨立報，太陽報和泰晤士報上刊出。

"The News of the World was in the business of holding others to account. It failed when it came to itself," Murdoch wrote in the article, which was signed "Sincerely, Rupert Murdoch."

他說：「《世界新聞報》一直以來的工作是要人們為自己的行為負責，自己卻沒做到。」梅鐸在文章中寫道，署名「魯伯特．梅鐸敬上」。

"We are sorry for the serious wrongdoing that occurred. We are deeply sorry for the hurt suffered by the individuals affected," he added.

「我們很抱歉發生這種嚴重錯誤。對受波及而受傷害的人，我們感到非常難過。」他接著說。

"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."

「未來日子，我們會採取具體措施解決這些問題，並對所造成的損害作修正，各位將會聽到我們更多的消息。」

On Friday, in an attempt to gain control of a scandal rocking his company and inching its way ever-closer to his son and newspaper empire heir James Murdoch, the media baron apologized in person to victims of criminal phone hacking by one of his tabloids and accepted the resignations of News Corp's top two newspaper executives, Rebekah Brooks and Les Hinton.

週五，為了將動搖他公司並且一步步影響他兒子的醜聞得到（損害）控制，媒體大亨為了他旗下小報違法竊聽電話，親自向受害者道歉，並接受新聞集團兩位高層新聞主管，利百加‧布魯克斯和萊斯‧韓丁的辭呈。

The crisis has broken the grip that 80 year old Murdoch had over British politics for three decades, as leaders from Margaret Thatcher, through Labour's Tony Blair to current Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron sought his support.

這場危機使得80的歲梅鐸在英國政壇呼風喚雨30年的時代告終，政壇領袖柴契爾夫人，工黨布萊爾，到現在的保守黨首相大衛‧卡梅倫，都曾尋求他的支持。
