我甚麼都不是

你的資產比我多 願我的擔憂比你少
如若我沒你重要 未見得開心比你少

你愛惜的比我多 我只像微塵
有損失當我不要 多麼好縮小了的我
就算苦不算緊要

我甚麼都不是 我是二等兵士
因國捐軀都難 記於正史
我是九等天使 我做甚麼天都懶知
我甚麼都不是 帶著自己心事
想告誡只可請教牧師
然後便答我 你們再苦也如玩意

你的身份比我高 願我的資質比你低
寧願我是隻白蟻 木屑中開心的吃虧

你的戀愛比我傷 我只像微塵 就算傷口也很細
多麼好縮小了的我 讓痛苦都會很細

我甚麼都不是 我是二等兵士
因國捐軀都難 記於正史
我是九等天使 我做甚麼天都懶知
我甚麼都不是 帶著自己心事
想告誡只可請教牧師
然後便答我 你們再苦也如玩意

這麼寬廣的世界億個萬個也在捱
請不必將你我突然放大
我這麼小小到苦惱不配被了解
假使想輕鬆過我生涯
難免要讓自我縮細再拚命去踩

我甚麼都不是 我是二等兵士
因國捐軀都難 記於正史
我是九等天使 我做甚麼天都懶知
我甚麼都不是 帶著自己心事
想告誡只可請教牧師
然後便答我 你們再苦也如玩意

深夜裡, 房間窗戶邊, 打火機輕輕地點燃香菸
白煙飄裊, 月光流瀉的空氣中, 攪拌著嘴裡吐出的煙
帶有濃濃的寂寞的味道
月光與星光 稀釋了我多少寂寞 我已數不清了







好多煩惱
好多想法
好多事情
好多感情
好多問題
好多好多....

我真的需要索女秘書一枚=X

給幸福一個機會

Digg this

我睡不著
思戀離我很近
妳卻離我很遠
我沒有安全感
已持續了好久好久
香菸已無法壓抑我的煩惱
彷彿明天已到了盡頭
我心情極度低落
我心情極度低落來自於妳的冷漠
我對妳毫無信心

我已經失去了心跳好久好久
是妳讓我找回心跳
妳說妳想珍惜我
我說我不值得妳珍惜
我只知道我比妳想珍惜我更想珍惜妳
我不在意妳的過去
我只想要妳的未來

我是妳就不會用心防備
心放不下比傷心更可悲
我是妳怎忍心將我浪費
愛得真實比虛構夢想可貴

妳是我可能才真正體會
為妳付出比怕犧牲更安慰
妳是我會體諒我不完美
可是對妳比大人物更無愧

感情離不開錯對
投入少不免吃虧
愛一個人難道經不起得罪
你會不會 給幸福一個機會
留給我吞下苦水
委屈我無所謂

對錯都是我不對
如果這樣都不對
但你在左愛右愛中找到 絕配

再找安眠藥有罪
再不肯睡我不對
這麼偉大療傷不必靠藥水
無需寬恕 有新感情沒有罪
如果他這麼理想 別要內疚心虛
強裝寬容就算累 你不安是我不對
不忍放下誰可找到最合適 伴侶

陳冠希的道歉聲明實在寫得好

Digg this


Today I have come back to Hong Kong to stand before you and account for myself.

短短一句就表明自己願意承擔,一洗以往逃避責任的形象。接著他承認自己就是拍照者,同時表明從沒想過讓第三者看到:

I admit that most of the photos [...] were taken by me. But these photos were very private and have not been shown to people and were never intended to be shown to anyone.

留意這幾句巧妙地運用被動式。如果這句寫成主動的話:I took the photos 和 I never intended to show,聽者很容易會聯想到主語「我」和動詞「拍照」及「公開相片」的關係。誰說主動句一定比被動句好?

他坦承責任之餘,同時以強硬而不煽情的措詞指出盜相者的惡意和罪行:Stolen illegally,without my consent,malicious,deliberate。但這只佔極少篇幅,演辭其他部份都用來向受害人和全港市民道歉。這一著很是高明,能很有效地擺脫那個深深不憤的受害者形象。

他道歉的語句也極誠懇,好像以下幾句:

I give my apology sincerely to you all, unreservedly and with my heart.

I hope, after today, I can have your forgiveness. With regards to thise case, with everything, everything that has happened, I am deeply sorry.

當然,陳的聲明非全無沙石,例如 with malicious and deliberate intent 一句就犯了語義重覆(redundancy)的毛病,因為意圖 intent 本來就含 deliberate 之意,所以說 deliberate intent 就像說 past history,free gift 一樣徒廢唇舌,其實寫 with malicious intent 就可以了。若要保留鏗鏘的節奏,則可改寫成 malicious and evil/felonious/destructive intent。另一句:apologise to everyone in HK and everyone in our society 亦有近似的毛病。不過這些瑕疵關係不大,因為整篇實在寫得太好,也講得太好。

不必理甚麼深字淺字,長句短句,總之最能有效表達自己的,就是好的語文。陳冠希的道歉聲明,就是個好例子,也是香港近年少見的出色演講。

陳冠希道歉聲明全文:

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 loved ones to show support and care and at the same time to have them support and care for me.

I admit that 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 to be shown to anyone. These photos were stolen from me illegally and distributed without my consent(沒有我同意下發佈).

There is no doubt whoever obtained these photos have been uploading them on the Internet with malicious(惡意的) and deliberate(故意的) intent. This matter has deteriorated to the extent that society as a whole has been affected by this, and this regard, I am deeply saddened. I would like now to apologise to all the people for all the suffering that has been caused and the problems that have arisen from this. I would like to apologise 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 apologise to my mother and my father for the pain and the suffering I have caused them during these 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(毫不保留地) and with my heart.

I know young people in Hong Kong look up to many figures in our society. And in this regard, I have failed as a role model. However, I wish that 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.

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 have decided to step away from the Hong Kong 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 indefinitely. There is no time frame.

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(記者招待會,press conference 的簡稱), I have obligations to help them with their investigation and hope that this case can end soon, as everyone I think has the same wish.

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, 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 innocent 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.

Lastly, I would like to thank everyone for coming here today and listening to what I have to say. I would like to also apologise 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 apologise to everyone who has had 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 regards to this case, with everything, everything that has happened, I am deeply sorry.

I hope you all will accept my apology and give me a chance.

Thank you.

哪裡?

不只是否室外的環境淪陷,還是自身身體衰弱,我總是難以待在室外過久,越久越會頭暈目眩,呼吸困難,冒汗不斷.
是以我一直以來的願望都想學習拳擊拳法,儘管大家的嘲笑冷嘲熱諷我都無視帶過.但一直找不到人陪同我去學習,只好自己干玩過過癮.
我很想有健康強壯的身子以便日後可以參與更多的工作,活動,更有效率的完成我的責任.
我一直覺得男人就應該在實戰裡並肩作戰,拳頭相向,而不是躲在電腦遊戲裡叫囂.那很無趣也很浪費時間.
我想要有自己的沙包跟圈套,一枚戰友,一名對手.
以拳會友.

話說回來,前幾天重溫了宮崎駿的作品,回想以前學生時代的回憶.
記得以前很期待老師重新安排座位的時候,一直期待可以坐在喜歡的人旁邊,卻每每坐在一個沒看過的臉孔旁邊,真是有點慚愧,同班了那麼久我還沒看過全班的臉孔甚至不知道跟他同班,只能說我以前上課太專心了.我恨以前的老師,都不讓我坐在喜歡的人旁邊,我只好自己擅自換過去跟他們聊天.=P
一直以來很喜歡關於學生劇情的故事或電影劇子,尤其是日本的,日本妹真是太令我難忘了.
希望有朋友可以介紹一些相關故事讓我看看=)

我只能為你畫一張小卡片

Digg this


好不容易
走你走過的樓梯
玩你玩過的遊戲
做你沒做完的事
這條路我也覺得好熟悉
所以我有理由懷疑
你住過這裡
如果思念能隨時間累積
創造另一個天地
風景一定好美麗
我的回憶在哪裡讓你代我去忘記
直到我忘了愛上過你我才拿出來溫習
你的回憶在哪裡讓我為你好好收集
那已經成為我唯一活下去的動力
有點可惜回到了你的過去
找不到我的影子聞不到你的呼吸
這些人有些曖昧的痕跡
和你有過甚麼關係你認不認識
如果思念能隨時間累積
創造另一個天地
風景一定好美麗
我的回憶在哪裡讓你代我去忘記
直到我忘了愛上過你我才拿出來溫習
你的回憶在哪裡讓我為你好好收集
那已經成為我唯一活下去的動力
戀愛的風景過去比現在還要擁擠
我在這裡你在哪裡沒關係
我的回憶在哪裡讓你代我去忘記
直到我忘了愛上過你我才拿出來溫習
你的回憶在哪裡讓我為你好好收集
那已經成為我唯一活下去的動力
