陳冠希英文道歉信難詞深度剖析

前言：

真的沒想到陳冠希會用全英文做道歉陳述,雖然知道他是CBC(Canadian Born Chinese),但英文水準還是讓我佩服。他500多字的道歉信, 用詞準确道地，詞彙難度較高，包含了50多個考研(雅思)核心詞彙，經過改編完全可以成為一篇高品質的考研完形填空，或雅思閱讀了解。Edison這小子雖然"猥瑣"，但英文用詞的難度達到了考研英語（國内最變态英語考試）的要求，如果參加雅思考試估計8分以上不成問題。

<b>推薦理由:</b>  超敬業的同聲翻譯, 不僅翻譯準确及時, 而且激情投入感情充沛,讓人感覺就像是自己剛剛拍了豔照被人發現.

I know young people in Hong Kong <b>look up to</b> many figures in our society. And in this regard, I have failed. I failed as a <b>role model</b>. 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.

<b>role model</b> <b>榜樣</b> 

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

<b>press</b> <b>是"壓"的意思，怎麼會變成"新聞"，"言論"呢？</b> 

<b>因為最初的報紙都是油墨印刷,需要把紙緊緊的壓在刻版上才能印刷出字來.是以press有了一個引申意:n.出版業,印刷業. 出版印刷業不就是釋出新聞和言論的陣地嗎?</b> 

<b>obligation</b> <b>n.義務</b> 

<b>investigation</b> <b>n.調查</b> 

I would like to use this opportunity to thank the police for their hard work on this case. Thank you. I believe everyone's <b>priority</b> 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 <b>innocents</b> and all the young from matters like this. In this regard, I have <b>instructed</b> my lawyers to do everything possible within the law to protect all the innocents, <b>victims</b> of this case. I believe that a press statement is being issued as we speak on what my lawyers have advised me to do.
