好难好准确--陈冠希英文道歉信难词深度剖析(ZT)

吃花生的大灰狼

冠希哥哥的英文水平还是很不错的, 发音地道, 用词准确, 赞一个.

他是CBC(Canadian Born Chinese),但英文水平还是让我佩服。他500多字的道歉信, 用词准确地道，词汇难度较高，包含了50多个考研(雅思)核心词汇，经过改编完全可以成为一篇高质量的考研完形填空，或阅读理解。Edison这小子虽然"猥琐"，但英文用词的难度达到了考研英语（国内最变态英语考试）的要求，如果参加考试绝对的高分。

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* v4 I2 y6 a( w- N

I would like to use this opportunity to thank the police for their hard work on this case. Thank you. I believe everyone’s prioritynow (and) my priority now is to stop the suffering and pain, for notletting this…we do not want to let this situation become more out ofcontrol. 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.
