Mr. Barnett and all the guests of honour, 尊敬的Barnett先生和各位來賓:
I am honoured to have been made CASH Ambassador. Music is a very important part in any culture and I am sure all of us here will agree that we must keep our culture alive and thriving. This is particularly important for a place like Hong Kong, where most people are busy working for money and fame, culture will help us maintain a balance of lives. 我很榮幸被選為CASH音樂大使。音樂是任何一種文化的重要組成部分,相信在座每一位都會(huì)同意,我們必須保持文化的繁榮興旺。尤其在香港這樣一個(gè)地方,人們都在忙于追逐名利,文化可以幫助保持生活的平衡。
Because of this belief, I, who have not been properly trained in music, have for years been trying my best to promote music, not just by singing and performing, but also by creating tunes and writing lyrics for songs. I enjoy doing this and I think that, in a small way, I am contributing to the music and the culture of Hong Kong. I also believe that it is important for artist to be creative and so I have been working hard to create new ways of entertaining and even setting new trends. 基于這個(gè)信念,雖然沒有經(jīng)過音樂的專業(yè)訓(xùn)練,我一直盡己所能地推廣音樂,不僅唱歌表演,也作曲作詞。我很喜歡這些工作,我想這也是我在為香港的音樂和文化作一點(diǎn)貢獻(xiàn)。我也相信,對(duì)于藝術(shù)工作者來說,創(chuàng)新是必不可少的。因此,我一直努力創(chuàng)造新的娛樂形式,并嘗試引導(dǎo)新的潮流。
My recent concerts which have been described as controversial are examples of my efforts in this direction. They have attracted many favourable comments as well as some criticisms. I think that is fine and I will continue to be creative. I know all of you will approve and do the same. Thank you!
例如我最近的演唱會(huì)(指2000年的熱情演唱會(huì))就是這樣的嘗試,這個(gè)演唱會(huì)被人描述為“充滿爭(zhēng)議的”,有人贊揚(yáng),也引來批評(píng)。我覺得這樣很好,我還會(huì)繼續(xù)努力。我相信這點(diǎn)上你們都會(huì)贊同,也會(huì)同樣努力。謝謝! Last but not the least, music is our profession and our livelihood and the works we have created should be protected from piracy. Unfortunately, advanced information technology has helped aggregate this situation, causing many problems and threatening the livelihood of many artists. I wish to use this opportunity to call upon all the artists to unite in a campaign against piracy. In fact, I consider this one of the most important missions for the CASH Ambassador and I will dedicate my effort to this. 最后想說的是,音樂是我們的職業(yè)和謀生手段,我們的勞動(dòng)成果應(yīng)該受到保護(hù)。令人遺憾的是,先進(jìn)的信息技術(shù)加劇了盜版現(xiàn)象,帶來許多問題并威脅到藝術(shù)工作者的生計(jì)。我希望借這個(gè)機(jī)會(huì),呼吁我們所有的藝術(shù)工作者聯(lián)合起來,反對(duì)盜版。我也把這個(gè)作為CASH音樂大使的其中一項(xiàng)重要的使命,并將致力于此。
Thank you very much! 非常感謝各位! 【哥哥的英文歌】 Good Morning Sorrow 唱:張國(guó)榮
I wake up with the sun 我從睡夢(mèng)中蘇醒 in the morning 伴隨著清晨的陽光 And once again 再一次 I find you're with me and I know 我發(fā)現(xiàn)你陪伴在我身邊 我知道 you're the only one 你是唯一一個(gè) who can help to make it easy 能讓我不再跌入迷惘的人
So here we are 就這樣 you and I 你和我 good morning sorrow 早安 憂傷 Just like before I lean on you 就像從前 我依靠著你 You're the one friend who's true 你是我情誼真摯的朋友 Who needs answers 當(dāng)緣分已盡 when there's nothing left to say 又何須多言 Why should I hear it all again 請(qǐng)不要再繼續(xù)叮嚀 How times easies pain 時(shí)間治愈悲傷的良藥 When nothing can bring back yesterday 當(dāng)昨日的歡笑已回不來 I wake up with the sun 我從睡夢(mèng)中蘇醒 in the morning 伴隨著清晨的陽光 Leave the phone off the hook 不去掛斷響著不停的電話 so I'm busy all day long 這樣顯得我不得清閑 The coffee's growing cold 咖啡漸漸變涼 my books lie unopened 我的書也始終未翻開 Here we are 我們 once again 又一次 good morning sorrow 早安 憂傷 Just like before I lean on you 就像從前 我依靠著你 My friend you never knew 我的朋友 你從不知曉 What if feels like 如此愛戀 to be in love this way 是怎么一番滋味
Maybe the years will heal the pain 或許時(shí)光能夠治療創(chuàng)傷 Maybe I'll even love again 或許我甚至再次心動(dòng) But nothing can bring back yesterday 但是昨日的歡笑已回不來 Just like before I lean on you 就像從前 我依靠著你 My friend you never knew 我的朋友 你從不知曉 What if feels like 如此愛戀 to be in love this way 是怎么一番滋味 Maybe the years will heal the pain 或許時(shí)光能夠治療創(chuàng)傷 Maybe I'll even love again 或許我甚至再次心動(dòng) But nothing can bring back yesterday 但是昨日的歡笑已回不來 Nothing can bring back yesterday 昨日的歡笑已回不來 |
