跟陳冠希(Edison)學英文單詞

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),但英文水平還是讓我佩服。他500多字的道歉信, 用詞準確地道，詞匯難度較高，包含了50多個考研(雅思)核心詞匯，經過改編完全可以成為一篇高質量的考研完形填空，或雅思閱讀理解。Edison這小子雖然"猥瑣"，但英文用詞的難度達到了考研英語（國內最變態英語考試）的要求，如果參加雅思考試估計8分以上不成問題。陳已經決定退出香港娛樂圈，對于這樣優秀的英語人才(艷照門暫且不談)，老俞是不是可以考慮挖到新東方來呢？估計轟動效應不亞于去年Sister Lotus(芙蓉姐姐) 參加新東方新概念二冊的培訓。

一直到現在，英國的法院門口還站立著古希臘象征法律精神的正義女神(DICE)的雕像，她左手拿著神圣的天平Libra，象征著權衡和平等；右手拿著寶劍，象征著裁決和力量；眼睛被布蒙著，象征絕對的公正無私。

liberate = liber (自由=libera)+ ate  vt.解放(讓人民獲得自由)
自由和天平有什么關系呢？
天平的主要作用就是要讓兩邊重量相等，平等。解放全人類不就是讓人民平等嗎？人民解放軍PLA：People’s Liberation Army liberation的職責就是解放全中國讓中國人民平等自由
liberty n.自由
libertine這個單詞叫"浪蕩子"，原來就是“特別自由的人”的意思，” 挺（tin）自由（liber）的”

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.

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.

核心詞匯解析

assist = as(to) + sist(stand) vt.(站在一旁來) 協助
press con. = press conference 新聞發布會
press free. = press freedom 言論自由
press 是“壓”的意思，怎么會變成“新聞”，“言論”呢？
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.所以press有了一個引申意:n.出版業,印刷業. 出版印刷業不就是發布新聞和言論的陣地嗎?
obligation n.義務
investigation n.調查

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.
