哥哥张国荣说了一口好听的英文,你还记得吗?

所以，巴纳德先生以及所有尊贵的嘉宾们

So, Mr. Barnard and all the guest of honors.

我很荣幸被选为CASH音乐大使

I'm very honored to have been made CASH ambassador.

音乐在任何文化中都是极其重要的

Music is a very important part of any culture.

而且我相信，在座的所有人

and I'm sure, all of us here

都赞同我们必须保持我们文化的活力与繁荣

will agree that we must keep our culture alive and thriving.

这在像香港这样的地方尤为重要

This is particularly important in a place like Hong Kong

这里大多数人都忙于为金钱和名誉而奔波

when most people are busy working for money and fame.

文化有助于保持我们生活的平衡

Culture will help us to maintain a balance in our lives.

正是出于这种信念

Because of this belief,

我，一个从未受过专业音乐教育的人

I who have not been properly trained in music,

年复一年地尽己所能去促进音乐的发展

have for years been trying my best to promote music,

不仅仅通过唱歌和表演

not just by singing and performing,

还通过创作乐曲和填写歌词

but also by creating tunes and writing lyrics for songs.

我沉浸于此

I enjoy doing this

而且我想

and I think that

这也是我在为香港的音乐和文化做出微小的贡献

in a small way, I'm contributing to the music and the culture of Hong Kong.

我也相信

I also believe that,

艺人拥有创造力是非常重要的

it is important for artists to be creative,

因此我也尽己所能去创造新的娱乐形式

and so I have been working hard to create new ways of entertaining,

甚至引领新的潮流

and even setting new trends.

我最近的被评价“充满争议”的演唱会

My recent concerts which have been described as controversial

就是我所努力的方向的例证

are examples of my efforts in this direction.

这受到了很多的赞扬，也引来了批评

They have attracted many favourable comments as well as some criticisms.

我认为这无关紧要

I think that is fine

而且我会继续尝试创新

and I will continue to be creative.

我知道大家也一定会赞同这一点，并同样去努力

I know all of you will approve and do the same.

谢谢

Thank you.

最后，也是非常重要的

Last but not the least,

音乐是我们的职业和谋生之道

music is our profession and our livelihood

我们创作的作品应当受到著作权的保护

and the works we have created should be protected from piracy.

不幸的是，先进的信息技术

Unfortunately, advanced information technology

使得现状恶化了

has helped aggravate this situation,

导致了许多问题

causing many problems

威胁到了许多艺人的生存

and threatening the livelihood of many artists.

我希望能趁这个机会

I wish to use this opportunity

呼吁所有的艺人

to call upon all the artists

联合起来，反对侵权

to unite in a campaign against piracy.
