所有成长记忆中有哥哥嘅人

哥哥有太多让人怀念的经典粤语歌,但他其实是唱着英文歌出道的。


他1977年参加亚洲歌唱大赛,用一首Don McLean的“American Pie”让人们记住了这个瘦小但唱得特别投入的年轻人。



那个年代还没有开始流行粤语歌,他出的第一张专辑是一张英文碟。


不过这张专辑销量不好,没几个人听,哥哥自嘲说,都用去填海了……


下面这首歌就出自这张专辑。他那时候还是一把青涩的少年声音,用他自己的话说,是“鸡仔声”、“呱呱声”……一起来感受一下。



再来看一段2000年哥哥出任“CASH音乐形象大使”时的英文演讲。视频年代久远,画质感人……


抱歉没有字幕,上文字稿……

I'm not very good in words so I have to put it all in black and white.

我不擅于言辞,所以准备了讲稿。


Mr Barnett and all the guests of honour, 
尊敬的Barnett先生和各位来宾:


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 driving. 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.

我很荣幸被选为CASH音乐大使。音乐是任何一种文化的重要组成部分,相信在座每一位都会同意,我们必须保持文化的繁荣兴旺。尤其在香港这样一个地方,人们都在忙于追逐名利,文化可以帮助保持生活的平衡。


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. 

基于这个信念,虽然没有经过音乐的专业训练,我一直尽己所能地推广音乐,不仅唱歌表演,也作曲作词。我很喜欢这些工作,我想这也是我在为香港的音乐和文化作一点贡献。我也相信,对于艺术工作者来说,创新是必不可少的。因此,我一直努力创造新的娱乐形式,并尝试引导新的潮流。


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!

例如我最近的演唱会(指2000年的热情演唱会)就是这样的尝试,这个演唱会被人描述为“充满争议的”,有人赞扬,也引来批评。我觉得这样很好,我还会继续努力。我相信这点上你们都会赞同,也会同样努力。谢谢! 


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. 

最后想说的是,音乐是我们的职业和谋生手段,我们的劳动成果应该受到保护。令人遗憾的是,先进的信息技术加剧了盗版现象,带来许多问题并威胁到艺术工作者的生计。我希望借这个机会,呼吁我们所有的艺术工作者联合起来,反对盗版。我也把这个作为CASH音乐大使的其中一项重要的使命,并将致力于此。

  

Thank you very much!   

非常感谢各位! 

哥哥讲着一口正儿八经的英国绅士腔。其实他中学的时候就到英国念书了,学了一口英伦腔自然不奇怪。



因为哥哥英语好,大陆导演叶大鹰找他出演了一部《红色恋人》,。


这部戏里还有他系着红腰带,喜气洋洋跳秧歌的镜头呢,多么地意外……




我们来看一个片段,他的英式英语和剧中美国医生的美语正好形成强烈对比……


依然没有字幕,上剧本:


Robert Payne

罗伯特·佩恩。


So you are Doctor Payne?

你就是佩恩大夫?


Please forgive me but I can't reveal my real name.You can call me Jin. 

请原谅我不能把真实姓名告诉你,你就叫我靳吧。


Oh, if I had this on the Long March, it would have been a real luxury.

你看,长征的路上如果我们有这份东西,那可就太奢侈了。


Last year, at this time, we have fought our way to Guizhou, but no one had a map showing the whole country. 

去年的这个时候我们打到了贵州,整个军团竟然找不到一份全国地图。


Finally we found one in a church, but all the towns' names were in Italian. 

后来我们从一个教堂里弄到一份,可地名却都是意大利文的。


So, we had to take the Italian missionary with us. His job was to decipher and to translate the map. In return, we had to provide him with his own stretcher. 

所以我们不得不带着意大利传教士一块儿行军打仗,给我们解释地图上的那些意大利文,为此,我们还专门给神父派了一副担架。


Amazing, it's as if all of China is under your feet.

有意思,好像整个中国都在你的脚下。


That day will come. But it won't be me that is standing on top. It'll be the Chinese people. 

会有那么一天,不过站在上面的并不是我,而是中国的人民。



If I can't live with dignity,I would rather die.

如果我不能骄傲地活着,那么我选择死亡。


You're insane.

你疯了。


No,i'm not. 

不,我没疯。


There is an old Chinese saying Shi Si Ru Gui. Death is like returning home. 

中国有句古话叫视死如归,意思是说,死亡就和回家一样。


,在当时引起不少争议,但影片上映后,人们都服气了。甚至有老党员评论说,这是他在荧幕上看到过的,。
