谢谢古月抄来美国国务院网站上的译文:
虽然事情发生的全部经过尚不明确,但根据我们的消息,我们的飞机受到严重损坏后遵照国际紧急程序做了紧急着陆。我们非常抱歉他们在进入中国领空和降落时没有得到口头许可,但我们很高兴他们安全着陆,也感谢中方为照顾我方机组人员所作的努力。
《现代汉语词典》
抱歉: 心中不安,觉得对不住别人。
歉意: 抱歉的意思。
道歉: 表示歉意,特指认错。
抱歉是这里面最轻的一个。我周末去不了你们家的PARTY,非常抱歉。但我绝不会为此向你道歉。甚至向你深致歉意也犯不上。

没有异议。美国一直强调的是不会“正式道歉”,用语“VERY informal”。〖旧雨新知〗还有更多背景讨论。

"Careful language breaks Washington-Beijing impasse"
CNN April 11, 2001 Web posted at: 6:48 p.m. EDT (2248 GMT)
In the end, with a letter signed by the
U.S ambassador in Beijing, both China
and the United States claimed they had
what they wanted -- even if it appeared
their positions had been mutually exclusive.
U.S. and Chinese officials offered contrasting descriptions of how far the United
States went to express regret for the April 1 collision between a Chinese fighter
plane and a U.S. reconnaissance aircraft that sparked the impasse.
China didn't get the apology it had sought, but the
United States did say it was "very sorry" for the
loss of life of the Chinese pilot and his plane. It
also said it was "very sorry" that the damaged
reconnaissance plane entered Chinese airspace
and landed without permission. ......
From the U.S. perspective, the language did not
amount to an acceptance of responsibility or an
apology for the accident.
"There was nothing to apologize for," Powell told
reporters in Paris on Wednesday. "To apologize
would have suggested that we had done
something wrong and we accepted responsibility
for having done something wrong. And we did
not do anything wrong. Therefore, it was not
possible to apologize."
During the week-and-a-half of negotiations, U.S.
officials expressed regret for the incident and
sorrow for the loss of life, leading up to what
they called "the letter of two very sorrys" from
U.S. Ambassador Joseph Prueher to Chinese
Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan.

Think positive. Someone asked for an "excuse me" and we've got a "sorry". Isn't it another victory!
