新东方考研英语必背500句
第396句
i am terribly sorry that i shall be unable to attend this morning's two periods of english class due to a bad cold and high fever.
译文：我由于感冒、发高烧，不能上今天早上的两节英语课，深感抱歉。
点睛：本句型是请假条的开头句型，开门见山地说明请假时间以及请假原因。重点部分在i am terribly sorry that shall be unable to attend...，其余部分都可以替换。此外，due to意为“因为”，它可以替换为because of或者because，需要注意的是前者后面接名词，后者后面接从句。
