1.对某事：

I am sorry for being late.
I am sorry for hurting you.

I apologize for this problem(正式)
所以公式就是 sorry for doing sth


2.对人：

Sorry for disturbing you,sir.
先生，对不起，打扰了。

所以公式就是 sorry for doing sth, sb.

 

 I apologize for failure to make timely contact with you.

I have not  to work two day  to deal with some family issues.
