Don't speak ill of the dead                                 پشت سر مرده حرف نزن

He's always making excuses!                             هميشه عذر و بهانه مياره

Don't make excuses!                                              عذر و بهانه نيار

I have a valid excuse                                            عذرش موجه است

I have a justified excuse for my absence.    براي غيبتم عذر موجه دارم

It's a feeble excuse!                                              عذر بدتر از گناه است

It's a painful excuse!                                              عذر بدتر از گناه است
