陈冠希英文道歉信全文剖析：第三段

　　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. 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.

I will dedicate my time to charity and community work within the next few months. I will be away from Hong Kong entertainment industry indefinitely. There is no time frame.

　　核心词汇解析

　　whole-heatedly 全心全意地; single-mindedly一心一意地

　　fulfill one's commitment vt.履行…的诺言

　　entertainment industry 娱乐业

　　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.

　　核心词汇解析

　　assist = as(to) + sist(stand) vt. (站在一旁来) 协助

　　press con. = press conference 新闻发布会

　　press free. = press freedom 言论自由

　　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

　　investigation n.调查

　　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 inno cents 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.
