陈冠希道歉英文信 Apologize letter from Edison

陈冠希道歉英文信 Apologize letter from Edison

  
  小时候做数学题,有计算题和应用题之分,大家总是比较偏好应用题,学起来也比较快。
  长大以后才明白,生活就是一道一道应用题,你把了解的知识代入,或者,从中学习有用的道理。
  摆在面前,如今的陈冠希是一道很好的应用题,因为浏览他的照片,许多网民搞清楚了用Email发送淫秽照片会被定义为违法;因为他,女生知道“很傻很天真”的另一种含义;也因为陈冠希2月21日流利的英语发言稿,平时对英语兴趣缺缺的人,也会怀着巨大的好奇,读完一篇媲美雅思标准范文的应用文。
  听完陈冠希流利干净的英语道歉稿,再去看上周末希拉里和奥巴马竞选吵架时,希拉里一句中气十足泼妇骂街式的“Shame on you”,真是觉得这个世界颠倒:前者的英语更像是美国政府官方发言的腔调,后者才有闹剧般场景。
  难怪2月21日陈冠希发表完道歉后,不少网友全文摘录他的发言,大加赞扬:“绝对超过英语八级,足以媲美雅思标准范文!”人家本来就是加拿大长大,英语也算是一种母语,何况他为了避免道歉中出现歧义,这篇道歉稿更是百般推敲字字斟酌。
  不如大家跟着陈冠希的道歉稿学习一下雅思标准范文模版。
  
  范文示例一:开篇
  Today I’ve come back to Hong Kong to stand before you, and account for myself, I’ve never escaped away from my responsibility.
  开篇明义,是应用文的基本要素,陈冠希长叹一口气说出的这句话,简单扼要,“我回来了,我会负责”。
  
  范文示例二:论点
  I admit most of the photos being circulated on the Internet were taken by me, but these photos were very private, and have not been shown to people, and were never intended(停顿、重读)to be shown to anyone. Their photos were stolen from me illegally, and distributed without my consent. There is no doubt whoever obtained these photos had been uploading them on the Internet with malicious and deliberateintent.文章重要论点,需要反复强调,比如陈冠希这次道歉中反复提及的“apologise”,以及他谈到自己照片并非有意流出时,排比使用意义相近的“private”、“have not been shown to people”、“were never intended(停顿、重读)to be shown to anyone”,还特意停顿下来重读“neverintended”,都是为了加深听众印象,尽可能撇清自己和艳照流传的关系。这种相同意义不同措辞的反复,在陈冠希“范文”中好几个地方都有出现。
  范文示例三:措辞
  I’ve decided to step away from the Hong Kong entertainment industry,I’ve decided to do this to give myself an opportunity to heal myself and to search my soul. I will delicate my time to charity and community work within the next few months, I will be away from Hong Kong entertainment indefinitely,there is no time refrain.
  虽然陈冠希没有学过英语写作,但从小生活在加拿大的他,对英语措辞拿捏得非常精准。
  道歉稿全文所运用的单词都简明易懂,几乎都在常用3000字范围内,就连一个高中生也可以读懂,这是非英语母语者写作时常常忽略的关键标准。简单归简单,陈冠希使用有实际意义的动词和名词时又非常小心,比如“step away”、“Hong Kongen tertainment industry”、“no time refrain”,这为他再度复出或者到其它地方的娱乐圈甚至时尚圈活动,留下许多伏笔。

ps: 原本想baidu一下全文道歉信,奈何现在baidu陈冠希的新闻,实在太多了。大海捞针,难!
Yesterday is a history;
Tomorrow is a mystery;
Today is a gift ;

Be happy, everyday:)

还有一篇,基本与英文无关,但绝对幽默,

《假如我是。。。》
真不知该如何评价“艳照门”,只能够将心比心,以一个普通人的心态体会当事人的感受。
  1、假如我是艳照传播者我坚信我是无辜的。因为无数出版物给予我的经验是,只要是明星,尤其是大明星的事,都是可以公开的。我将照片上传或者贩卖,一来是我按捺不住,二来,有很多狗仔就是靠偷拍发财的。何况我没偷没抢,我捡来的!当然我会等待司法判决。错了。再改。
  2、假如我是谢霆锋怎么办?我当然不在乎妻子的过去,但我在乎我们乃至孩子的未来。据我对娱乐圈的了解,这事儿一时半会儿平息不了,就算暂时淡忘了,过个一年半载,还会有人翻旧账,这辈子大概是消停不了,除非我们不在圈里混。这是考验我的时刻,我相信无论我怎样处理,我都是对的,我拥有捍卫我的生活与价值观的权利。
  3、假如我是女明星们我当然跟阿娇看齐啦。反正大家都知道了都看到了,我躲起来也是透明的,站出来也是透明的,索性戴上一顶“勇敢女性”的桂冠站出来。我不会记恨陈冠希,香港娱乐圈就那么点儿人,我知道他是什么德行。知难而上。既然都上了,能怨得了人家吗?
  4、假如我是陈冠希这个假设不成立,我英文不好。我应该好好学英文,大概英文是专门用来道歉的。

上班族太无聊了,SPAM邮件终于收到了这封原版的“道歉信”

1. Today I have come back to Hong Kong to stand before you and account for myself. I have never escaped from my responsibility. During the past few weeks, I have been with my mother and my family and my loved ones to show support and care and at the same time to have them support and care for me.

核心词汇解析
account for 1) 说明,解释;2) 占…比例
escape from从…逃脱, 推卸责任
escape=es(ex=out) + cape(catch)


2. I admit that most of the photos being circulated on the Internet were taken by me. But these photos are very private and have not been shown to people and are never intended to be shown to anyone. These photos were stolen from me illegally and distributed without my consent.

核心词汇解析
circulate = circul(circle圆圈) + ate v.循环,流通
intend to v.打算去…
illegal = il(not) + legal (合法的) + ly adv.违法地
单词组记: distribute, contribute, attribute, tribute
distribute = dis(away)+ tribute(give) = give away vt.分发,传播
contribute = con(fully) + tribute vt.贡献; 投稿 [助记]全部都给了
attribute to v.归因于
tribute n.贡品,颂词 [助记] 给国王的礼物
单词组记:consent, dissent, resent, sentimental

resent = re(against) + sent n.憎恨 [助记] 相对抗的情感= hatred
sentimental[谐音]三屉馒头,失恋了只吃三屉馒头,所以是---a.多愁善感的

3. There is no doubt whoever obtained these photos have them uploaded on the Internet with malicious and deliberate intent. This matter has deteriorated to the extent that society as a whole has been affected by this. In this regard, I am deeply saddened. I would like now to apologize to all the people for all the suffering that has been caused and the problems that have arisen from this. I would like to apologize to all the ladies and to all their families for any harm or hurt that they have been feeling. I am sorry. I would like to also apologize to my mother and my father for the pain and suffering I have caused them during the past few weeks. Most importantly, I would like to say sorry to all the people of Hong Kong . I give my apology sincerely to you all, unreservedly and with my heart.

核心词汇解析
单词组记: mal-=bad坏
malice = mal + ice(冰) n.恶意;【律】预谋, 蓄意 [助记]在路上放一块冰,想让陈冠希滑倒,这是有预谋的恶意伤害。
malicious= malice(恶意) + ious(形容词) a.恶意的
mal-function n.功能紊乱
mal-nutrition n.营养不良
maltreat = mal + treat(对待) vt.虐待
单词组记: libra天平, deliberate, liberate, liberty, libertine, libido
一直到现在,英国的法院门口还站立着古希腊象征法律精神的正义女神(DICE)的雕像,她左手拿着神圣的天平Libra,象征着权衡和平等;右手拿着宝剑,象征着裁决和力量;眼睛被布蒙着,象征绝对的公正无私。
deliberate = de(强调) + libera(=libra) + ate a. 深思熟虑的, 故意的 [助记] 把你的想法放在天平上称量,引申为深思熟虑的,深思熟虑的结果当然是故意的
liberate = liber (自由=libera)+ ate vt.解放(让人民获得自由)
自由和天平有什么关系呢? 天平的作用是让两边重量相等,平等。解放全人类不就是让人民平等吗?人民解放军PLA:People’s Liberation Army liberation的职责就是解放全中国让中国人民平等自由
liberty n.自由
libertine这个单词叫"浪荡子",原来就是“特别自由的人”的意思,” 挺(tin)自由(liber)的”
libido弗洛伊德的著作里面,他造出一个表示“性动力”的单词libido(中文翻译成“利比多”),表达的就是这种本源的不受控制的力量。
单词组记:deteriorate,interior, exterior, territory
deteriorate = de(down) + terior(土地) +ate(动词) v.使恶化; 败坏(风俗); 使变坏(品质等) [助记] 品格败坏的人就应该入土活埋。

intent n.意图,打算
unreservedly = un + reserved(保留的) + ly(副词) adv.毫无保留地

4. I know young people in Hong Kong look up to many figures in our society. And in this regard, I have failed. I failed as a role model. However, I wish this matter will teach everyone a lesson. To all the young people in our community, let this be a lesson for you all. This is not an example to be set for you.

核心词汇解析
look up to 仰望,尊重= respect
look down upon/on 鄙视,瞧不起=despise
role model 榜样


5. During my time away, I have made an important decision. I will whole-heartedly fulfill all commitments that I have to date. But after that, I decided to step away from HK entertainment industry. I have decided to do this to give myself an opportunity to heal myself and to search my soul. I will dedicate my time to charity and community work within the next few months. I will be away from Hong Kong entertainment industry indefinitely. There is no time frame.

核心词汇解析
whole-heatedly 全心全意地; single-mindedly一心一意地
fulfill one's commitment vt.履行…的诺言
dedicate to 把...奉献给,投身于...
charity = char(=care关心)+ ity (名词) n.慈善,慈善事业 [助记]关心穷人就是做慈善

6. I have been assisting the police since the first day the photos were published and I will continue to assist them. After this press con., I have obligation to help them with their investigation and hope that this case can end soon as everyone I think has the same wish.

核心词汇解析
Press con. = press conference 新闻发布会
press free. = press freedom 言论自由
press 是“压”的意思,怎么会变成“新闻”,“言论”呢?
因为最初的报纸都是油墨印刷,需要把纸紧紧的压在刻版上才能印刷出字来.所以press有了一个引申意:n.出版业,印刷业. 出版印刷业不就是发布新闻和言论的阵地吗?
obligation n.义务
investigation n.调查

7. I would like to use this opportunity to thank the police for their hard work on this case. Thank you.. I believe everyone’s priority now (and) my priority now is to stop the suffering and pain, for not letting this…we do not want to let this situation become more out of control. We need to protect all the innocents and all the young from matters like this. In this regard, I have instructed my lawyers to do everything possible within the law to protect all the innocents, victims of this case. I believe that a press statement is being issued as we speak on what my lawyers have advised me to do.

核心词汇解析
单词组记:prior to, priority
pri = pre是一个拉丁前缀表示before
[书面]prior to = [口语]before
小翻译 : 在你离开之前,请完成这项工作.
Prior to your departure, please complete this task.
小翻译: 预先警告/通知 prior warning/notice.
priority = prior + ity(名词) n.优先考虑的事情, 优先权
单词组忆: victor, victory, victim
vict中的V象征着胜利,vict-表示征服
victory n.胜利
victor =vict + or(人) n.胜利者, 征服者
victim = vict + im(我是) [助记]我是被征服了,当然就成了n.受害人,牺牲品
innocent = in + no + cent(一分钱) [助忆]兜里没有一分钱, 所以没有偷窃, 是无辜的 a. 无辜的, 天真的

8. Lastly, I would like to thank everyone for coming here today and listening to what I have to say. I would like to also apologize once again to all the ladies and their families, my family and to everyone in Hong Kong and everyone in our society. I am deeply saddened by this. And I apologize to everyone (who) has to go through this. I would like to also thank you for giving me this opportunity to say what I have wanted to say all along in my heart.
I hope, after today, I can have your forgiveness. With regard to this case, with everything, everything that has happened, I am deeply sorry.. I hope you all accept my apology and give me a chance. Thank you.
