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 BornChinese),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。推荐理由:  超敬业的同声翻译, 不仅翻译准确及时, 而且激情投入感情充沛,让人感觉就像是自己刚刚拍了艳照被人发现.Today I have come back to Hong Kong to stand before you and account for myself.
