Practical examples
For a minor internal delay, a brief acknowledgement and a new delivery time may be sufficient.
قد يكفي في تأخير داخلي بسيط إقرار موجز وموعد تسليم جديد.
A delay affecting an external event requires a fuller explanation of the consequences and next steps.
يحتاج التأخير الذي يؤثر في فعالية خارجية إلى توضيح أشمل للعواقب والخطوات التالية.
"I apologise for the disruption" recognises the impact without becoming excessively personal.
تقر عبارة «أعتذر عن التعطيل» بالأثر دون أن تصبح شخصية أكثر من اللازم.
