前言:真的没想到陈冠希会用全英文做道歉陈述,虽然知道他是CBC(Canadian Born Chine

se),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,或雅

思阅读理解。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,如果参加雅思考试估计8分以上不成问题。

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 ha

ve been with my mother and my family and my loved ones to show support and car

e and at the same time to have them support and care for me.

would like to apologize to all the ladies and to all their families for any h

I would like to use this opportunity to thank the police for their hard work o

let this situation become more out of control. We need to protect all the inno

ted my lawyers to do everything possible within the law to protect all the inn

ocents, 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.
