LeBron James at Cavs' parade: 'Let's get ready for next year'
詹姆斯實現承諾，為克里夫蘭贏回冠軍獎盃

(Cleveland, Ohio) —Jim Brown held the Larry O'Brien Trophy and walked toward LeBron James.
吉姆‧布朗(前美國職業足球員)捧著歐布萊恩冠軍獎盃並朝著勒布朗‧詹姆斯走去。

The last superstar to win Cleveland a championship 52 years ago passed the gold hardware Wednesday to James, concluding the Cavaliers' championship parade and rally. James accepted the proverbial passing of the torch from Brown, who led Cleveland's NFL title run in 1964.
上一位為克里夫蘭贏得冠軍獎盃的吉姆‧布朗，在星期三時將這座金製品交到了詹姆斯的手上，做為騎士隊冠軍遊行與集會的結尾。詹姆斯從吉姆‧布朗這位於1964年替克里夫蘭奪回NFL冠軍獎盃的球員，接下了這支眾所皆知的傳承火炬。

James, the NBA Finals MVP, addressed his teammates one by one and did not hold back. Here is James' speech from a podium off St. Clair Avenue.
詹姆斯同時也是NBA季後賽最有價值球員，毫無保留地個別向他的隊友們一一致意。以下就是詹姆斯在St. Clair大道架設的講台上所做的演講全文。

Oh, man. They asked me do I have a speech or something prepared, and I really don't. I'm just going to speak from the heart like I always do.
噢，老天。他們要我做個演講或做些有準備的發言，然而我並沒有，跟以前一樣，我喜歡直接說出自己的心裡話。

What's going on right now is still so surreal to me. It still hasn't hit me what actually happened, and for some crazy a-- reason I believe like I'm going to wake up, and it's going to be like Game 4 all over again. I'll be like, s---, we're down 2-1 still.
現在發生的一切對我而言還是如此的不真實，我還是不敢相信眼前發生的一切， 讓我相信這一切是真的原因是，睡醒不會再像是G4前的那種「喵的！我們還是1-2落後」。

Like I swear. I keep feeling that, because it's so surreal. I was talking to my wife, and I'm like, babe, we did it. You guys always see the finished product, and when we step out on the floor -- either 18 minutes before the game or Kyrie's taking a long time to put two pairs of socks on or his shoes on and we come out at like 12. You guys see it from that point to the end of the game. But what you guys do not see is the hard work behind the scenes when all these cameras and all these lights and everything are not around.
真的就是這樣，我發誓我真的是這麼想的，因為實在是太不真實了。我跟我老婆說「寶貝，我們做到逆轉奪冠了」。你們總是看到比賽的結果，看到我們走上場，或是離開賽還有18分鐘時，還是Irving要花很多時間穿上兩雙襪子或鞋子，然後你們再從我們上場時開始觀看我們，直到比賽結束。可是你們沒看到的是，在沒有錄影機和鎂光燈時，我們所付出的努力。

I heard a lot of it "thank you LeBrons" today, and "thanks for coming home and keeping your promise." But really you guys should be thanking all the guys up here to be honest. I'm just one man. I'm one man with a plan, with a drive, with determination, with will, with a belief, a strong support system at home. But I'm just one guy. I look over here at Jordan McCray, a young guy that came to our team from the D-League, and he just automatically just bought into what we wanted to do. So he was ready to do anything that we asked from him. You know, being a young guy.
今天，我聽到很多人跟我說「Lebron謝謝你」，「謝謝你回來」、「謝謝你兌現自己的諾言」， 但是說真的，你們真正該感謝的是台上每一個人… (群眾鼓掌…) 我只是一個普通人，一個有夢想、動力、決心、意志、信念，而且在家鄉有個強烈應援體系的人。但我只是一個人。轉過身，我能看到Jordan McCray， 一個從發展聯盟上來我們球隊的年輕人加入我們，幫我們成就大業。我們需要他做什麼，他都做好充分準備。

To my brother, judge. J.J., I've seen a lot of things. Like LeBron James made six straight Finals appearances. Well, s---, James Jones made six straight as well. You guys never see champ complain about playing time, complaining about shots, complaining about anything, and he's probably the most professional guy on our team J.J., thank you.
接下來我要感謝我的兄弟James Jones。我已見識過很多事情。像是大家會說「Lebron James連續六年打進總冠軍賽」， 但是他喵的James Jones也是連續六年跟我一起在總冠軍賽中奮戰！(歡呼聲)你們永遠不會看到他這個贏家抱怨上場時間太短，出手次數太少之類的，而且他可能是我們隊裡最有職業精神的球員。JJ謝謝你。

Dahntay Jones, we just picked him up. He's the luckiest man in the world. I'll tell you that. We picked his a-- up like two months ago. No, but seriously, a true professional. Competing against this guy, you always knew that you've got to be locked in. Every time he stepped on the floor, and then when he got on the team, we saw how great of a teammate he was. Also another guy that will give anything. And you guys saw that in our game, our Game 6 at home. J.R. Smith picks up three fouls. (Iman) Shumpert picks up three fouls. R.J. (Richard Jefferson) had three fouls at halftime. And Coach (Tyronn) Lue and myself, and Kyrie, we had a lot of faith in Dahntay, and Dahntay had faith in himself and gave us a huge boost to close out that quarter in Game 6. Thank you, Dahntay.
Dahntay Jones，我們之前才剛選了他。我要說，他是全世界最幸運的人， 我們兩個月前簽下他(就撿到戒指)。但不開玩笑，說真的，他非常有職業精神。你知道當你和這種人競爭時， 隨時都要卯足全力。每當他踏上球場，你就知道有他在你隊伍中是多麼棒的一件事情。接下來我要告訴你們他有多棒，他會在場上付出一切。 你們都知道G6主場，JR Smith三犯，Shumpert三犯，Richard Jefferson半場三犯，總教練Tyronn Lue、我、Irving，我們都信任Dahntay，且Dahntay也相信自己，他幫助我們贏下G6。 謝謝Dahntay Jones。

Mo Williams. Having Mo back. Me and Mo have some unfinished business last time we were together in '09 and '10. Making it to the Eastern Conference finals and losing to Orlando. Making it to the second round, losing to Boston. And we went our separate ways. But when we had an opportunity to pick him up in the offseason, I think it was great for our team, and I'm happy to be able to share this moment with Mo. Share a championship with Mo, because we had unfinished business. So thank you, Mo.
Mo Williams，我們重新簽回了Mo，在09跟10年，我跟Mo還有未完成的夢想， 前一年打進東區冠軍賽時輸給魔術，後一輪在第二輪時輸給塞爾提克，然後我們暫時分開。不過我們終於有機會於休賽期間找他過來再一次聯手，我覺得這對球隊是一件好事， 我很高興能跟Mo分享這個榮耀時刻，共享冠軍，這是我們當初未完成的夢想，感謝Mo。

And to young guy, aka, Kyrie Irving, whatever you want to call him. This guy, he thought I was blowing smoke up his a-- early in the season when I said he could be the best point guard in our league and also be an MVP in our league. And I know every single one of you watched that Finals. You all saw what this guy's capable of doing. And he's only 24. Oh, my goodness. He's only 24. He don't reach his prime for another three years. Thank you, Kyrie.
還有那個小夥子，Kyrie Irving，或者Bye-rie、Uncle Drew， 你們想叫什麼都行。這個小夥子啊…(指著Irving) 球季剛開始我告訴他，他能成為聯盟第一PG，甚至MVP的時候，他以為我在唬爛，P他LP咧！(歡呼聲) 看過冠軍賽的人，都知道他能做到我所說的！(歡呼聲) 他才24歲，我的天，才24歲，還要再過三年才會到達巔峰期，謝謝你，Irving。

You guys heard all the stories, you can't win with J.R. on your team. J.R. takes bad shots. You all heard them weak a-- stories. But when our GM (David Griffin) came to me and said we have an opportunity to get J.R. Smith from the New York Knicks, the Knicks said J.R. was a throw-in by the way. Yeah, we'll leave that to the side. But I was like I would love to have J.R. Smith. I know J.R. Smith and I know what he's capable of doing. And he showed not only is he a hell of a 3-point shooter, he's a hell of a defensive player, two-way player. Thank you, if J.R. Smith.
再來，你們都聽過各種關於Smith的傳聞，「有JR在就無法贏球」、「JR就是愛亂投球」之類的屁話， 但是當GM跟我說，我們有機會從紐約尼克隊拿到JR的時候，順便說一下，JR還是紐約硬塞一包過來的…不說這些了…。但是我當時說，我很贊成JR來，我了解JR，知道他的能力，他向我們展現了，他不只是一個要你命的三分射手，他還是個讓你喪膽的防守悍將，他攻守俱佳，謝謝你，JR。

Shump, want to thank Iman Shumpert. Another guy that we got in that deal from New York; young, hungry, guy that would do anything. Last year, you guys don't even know this because we don't ever put out our medical reports about being injured, Shump played all last year in The Finals with a partially torn groin and partially torn shoulder last year. You guys don't know that. It's not about that. We don't want sympathy; just hard work and dedication. This guy right here will run through that. Whatever the hell that is, that brick building right there, Shump will run through it.
Shumpert，另一個從紐約交易來的小子，年輕、有幹勁，願意做任何事。上個球季你們不知道他的情況，因為我們不會公布受傷的消息，去年總冠軍賽時，Shumpert鼠蹊部跟肩膀一直帶傷，去年他就是這樣過來的，只是你們不知道。這跟受傷無關，我們不喜歡被同情，只想努力且專注的打球。這個堅強的小子克服了他的傷病，不管擋在他前方的是什麼，就算是一棟磚頭砌成的樓房，Shumpert還是會往它衝鋒過去。

Now I don't know if he'll go head-first because he loves his haircut, but he'll go face-first. Shump, thank you.
現在我則不知道他是不是會先用頭去撞那堵擋住我們的牆，因為他很重視他的髮型，不過他可能會先用臉去撞牆吧…謝謝Shumpert。

Delly ... (applause) yeah, and he deserves that. He deserves that.
Dellavedova (歡呼聲)，沒錯，他值得大家為他歡呼。

If it was a bear right here, and it was Delly right here, and I shot the ball and I was wondering who was going to get to the ball first, Delly would tear that damn bear up. You all saw for the last two years, Delly giving everything. He damn near gave his life last year in The Finals. Had to go to the hospital after one of our Finals games. That's a guy who is dedicated. Who never cared about guys saying Delly's not fast enough. Delly's not strong enough. Delly can't shoot it well enough. Delly's not an NBA player. Well, guess what, Delly's a champion. Thank you, Delly.
如果現在這裡有一隻熊，跟Dellavedova，當我把球投出時，誰能先搶到這顆球？ Dellavedova會把那頭熊給撕成四分五裂的！在過去這兩個球季中，你們都看到他用盡全力的表現，像是去年總冠軍賽，他把命都賭上去了，在其中一場比賽結束後，還得直接送醫急救，這就是Dellavedova，總是傾盡全力。他從不在乎別人批評， 「Della不夠快」、「他不夠壯」、「投籃沒準星」、「他不夠格打NBA」，那現在呢？他是NBA冠軍了，謝謝Dellavedova！

Timo, another ex-Knick. But we'll leave that to the side again. When we got Timo, I remember when Griffin said we were going to get Timofey Mozgov, you want to know what's crazy? The first time I saw Timo we were in Golden State about to play Golden State. Last year you guys knew if you could cover us, which you guys did, that we needed a little more size in our interior, a little more athleticism. So I come down the elevator and Timo is in the lobby and I swear it looked like I was seeing like the biggest human being I've ever seen in my life. I looked at Griff. He said he's a big mother, ain't he? I said he is absolutely. And when I seen him the very next night, he sprint from baseline to baseline, blocked shots, tipped dunks, alley-oops. I said we've got a great one, and also, Timo, thank you so much. You're a champion as well.
Mozgov，又是一個尼克來的球員…但還是不講這個，當我們得到Mozgov的時候，我記得Griffin(騎士GM)告訴我，我們將招募他入隊，你們絕對想不到吧？我第一次看到Mozgov，我們當時就在金州準備跟勇士隊打客場，如果你們有關注上季騎士的比賽，當然你們肯定有這麼做，所以你們一定知道騎士需要一個有運動能力的高大內線。我從電梯裡下來到大廳，Mozgov就在那，我發誓我當時看到的是這輩子遇到最大隻的人類…。我呆在那裏，Griffin說，「他喵的夠大隻吧！」我回答他，當然了。我隔天晚上看到他在場上飛奔、蓋火鍋、抓籃板、空中接力， 我告訴別人我們終於迎來了一個了不起的大傢伙，Mozgov謝謝你，你現在也是冠軍了。

Sasha (Kaun), a good friend of mine texted me the other day by the name of Mario Chalmers. He said, "You know you can't win a championship without a (Kansas) Jayhawk on my team." And I said, "You're right. I won two in Miami with you, and I get another one here with Sasha being an ex-Jayhawk in Kansas." Sasha, everything you did this year that no one's seen, working out with Timo every single day, committing to the game every single day. You worked out every single day with no vision of a coaching staff or us saying, "Sasha, you're going to play." You're going to get minutes. No entitlement. No entitlement all year, and you've got to be an unbelievable person and unbelievable professional to be able to take that and still come to work every day and give it your all. Thank you, Sasha.
Sasha Kaun，我一個好友，Chalmers傳訊息跟我說，「沒有堪薩斯大學Jayhawk隊的球員，你無法奪冠」，我告訴他，「你說的沒錯，因為我在邁阿密熱火隊時跟你一起拿了兩座冠軍啊！」 現在，我又有了Sasha Kaun，他是前Jayhawk隊冠軍中鋒。Sasha，本季你的表現沒人注意到，每天努力跟Mozgov訓練，每天為了比賽投入一切，在教練跟大家沒看到的時候還是每天在訓練，甚至沒有人跟你說，你只要好好練習，你就能得到上場時間，沒有多餘的承諾，一整年都沒有。但即便如此，你還是持續努力，付出一切。你會成為一個了不起的球員的。謝謝你，Sasha。

Little Kev, aka, R.J., Dick Jefferson, whatever you want to call him. You don't know this story point, either. I've got a lot of stories. But I want to thank DeAndre Jordan, because if DeAndre Jordan did not decide to go back to the Clippers, we wouldn't have R.J. on our team. You can Google the story. I'm not going to tell you the rest of it. But it weren't for that guy, we wouldn't have him. From day one we had R.J., I knew I had a guy that was playing behind me that I could trust, ask, count on. I don't think he realized he was going to play 35 minutes in Finals games. That's why he said he quit the other night. R.J., man, like you said, your first two years going to The Finals, me and you being on the Olympic team in '04, which was a s--- show, finishing third, everything you've been through in your career ... I'm just happy I was able to be a part of you winning your first championship, brother, thank you.
Little Kev，又可稱R.J., Dick Jefferson，看你們喜歡怎麼叫他都行。Richard Jefferson，你們也不知道他故事裡的秘密，我也有很多小道消息可說，但我想在這裡感謝一下DeAndre Jordan，如果不是他反悔回到快艇，我們也不會得到Jefferson，你們可以自己上網搜尋這一段，我就不再多說了。但如果不是DeAndre Jordan，我們還真拿不到Jefferson。從他加盟那天起，我知道他是值得信賴依靠的夥伴， 只是我猜他絕對沒有想到一點…他要在一場總冠軍賽上場高達35分鐘， 我想這就是他昨天晚上說拿到戒指後要退休的原因了。Richard Jefferson，你說過你前兩次總冠軍賽都輸了，還有我們一起在04奧運夢幻隊的時候，那次真是打到爛透了，只拿到銅牌，以及其他一些你職業生涯中遭遇過的種種事件。我很高興，我能成為陪伴你生涯首冠路程上的一份子。謝謝你，老哥。

Big Kev, Kevin Love. Wow. What y'all saying? Turn around? I will in a little bit. Give me a second.
Big Kev，Kevin Love。哇！那邊的朋友們你們在說什麼？(Kevin Love) 喔！要我轉過去啊？稍等我一下下。

Kev, when I knew we had the opportunity to get you two years ago, I didn't second-guess it. I think you knew how I felt. I told you in the 2000 Olympics that in order for us to win a gold medal, you had to be our anchor in the interior, and you looked at me like, man, you don't know me, shut up. And for the last two years, you kind of looked at me like that a few times as well. But this guy is so misunderstood. Everybody says he's not a team player. He's not a winner. He doesn't do what it takes. And you saw his struggles throughout The Finals. Everything that happened from the concussion to sitting out to him having the shooting struggles and things of that nature, and everybody burying him alive throughout The Finals. To be able to respond like he did in Game 7, that's what real men do. They respond in their most adverse times. We talk about the shot. We talk about the block, but the stop, that was on a two-time MVP, by the way. That was on a two-time MVP, but I'm going to let that go. Thank you, Kev.
Kevin，兩年前我知道有機會得到你時，我一點猶豫都沒有。我覺得你知道我的感受，因為在2000年打奧運時我就跟你講過，「為了拿到金牌，你要鞏固內線」， 你當時看了我一眼，表情好像是說「你懂個毛，閉嘴」。在過去的兩年裡，你也有幾次用那種表情看著我。可是說真的，Kevin太容易被人誤解了，大家都說他不是個團隊球員，不是個勝利者，不夠盡力；你們都看到他在總冠軍賽的表現很掙扎，從他腦震盪之後，投籃沒手感，大家都在冠軍戰狂酸Love，像要把他生吞活剝，但他在G7做到了，用強勢的表現做出回應(大家拍手聲)，這就是正港男子漢的表現，真正的男人會在逆境中做出回應。我們都在講Irving的三分球，或者我的追魂鍋，但是那個防守(Curry)呢？那個防守擋下來的可是兩屆MVP喔！再說一次，Love守住的是兩屆MVP！剩下的我就不多說了，謝謝你，Kevin！

Channing (Frye), I didn't know you, man, before you got here. But I knew what you were capable of doing on the floor, and we had the opportunity to get you, I asked R.J. what type of guy he is. Said you're going to love him. I said bring him on. From day one since you got here, you've been nothing short of amazing. Both on the floor, but mostly off the floor. You are one of the greatest, funniest guys in the world. But also you're a true professional, and I'm happy to be along the ride to help win a championship with you. Thank you, Channing.
最後兩個人，我最喜歡的兩個傢伙，%F#%(故意叫錯)，啊，是Channing Frye，在你來騎士隊之前我不知道你是誰，但我知道你能做出的貢獻，而在我知道你可能要過來時，我問Richard Jefferson，「Frye是怎樣的人？」Jefferson說「你會愛上他的」，我說「那就趕快把他帶過來啊！」從你來的第一天起，你就很不可思議，場上跟場下都是，尤其在場下。你是我看過最有趣的人之一，而且也是真正的職業球員，很開心跟你一起打球，謝謝你Channing，幫我們拿下冠軍。

Last but not least. My little brother, "Double T," (Tristan Thompson) who I've been taking care of since he was 17. Just to see this guy grow every day. It's been unbelievable to be a part of it. "Double T," you talked about someone being reliable. I mean, 390 straight games? That's reliable. Knowing when you get on the court, there's going to be that guy there every single night that's a treat to have. Man. I love you, little bro. Always and forever. I love all of y'all. Thanks to all of y'all, dog. I really appreciate it. So thank you for all the "LeBron wishes" and "coming home wishes," but I'm nothing without the group behind me, man. I'm nothing without the coaching staff. I'm nothing without the city. You guys are unbelievable. And these guys told me I've got to turn around. So I'm nothing without y'all. I love all y'all. I love all y'all, and, s---, let's get ready for next year.
最後，我的小兄弟，Tristan Thompson，我從你17歲就開始罩你了！當你看著他每天一點一滴成長，你會感到這太令人難以置信了，就是那種可靠的感覺，我是說，他連續390場出賽，這就是可靠！每次當比賽開始的時候你就知道他會上場，有你真的很幸運。我永遠愛你，小兄弟。我也愛你們所有人，謝謝你們大家，真的非常感謝， 謝謝所有對Lebron的祝福，及所有給我的返鄉祝福，但是若沒有身後這群人、沒有教練團，我什麼也不是，沒有這座城市，我什麼也不是，你們太不可思議了，我該轉過身來了， (轉身)沒有你們，我什麼都不是，我愛大家，謝謝！還有，喵的，為明年做好準備吧！

#時事新聞

我是國榮。來自澳洲昆士蘭省，讀中學時成績非常好，分數已足夠在大學選讀任何一科。當時我希望成為一名醫生，因為可以幫助他人。我在新南威爾斯大學讀醫科，第一年是住在雪梨北區一個朋友家中，第二年入住大學國際宿舍，宿舍規定最少有半數是留學生，不是澳洲人。最先兩年結識了不少香港、新加玻、馬來西亞的朋友，與他們很合得來，不過最重要是入住宿舍後，便遇到了香港的流行歌曲。有一天我行經走廊時，聽到一些很悅耳的音樂，我便問同學這是甚麽歌曲及可否借給我欣賞，他便借了給我。我已忘記是Leslie還是Alan的歌，但肯定是其中一位。因為很喜歡這些歌曲，便到唐人街購買，後來一邊聽歌一邊看歌詞，因此慢慢地學識了很多中文字。
因為喜歡唱歌，所以在大學的同學活動，開始演唱中文歌，也曾參加香港學生會舉辦的歌唱比賽，參賽歌曲是「愛的根源」，結果獲得亞軍。我很清楚記得，國際宿舍為了文化交流，每年舉辦一次國際晚宴，希望不同種族的學生可以表演和分享文化。Leslie在一九八五年 唱Monica獲得獎項，那是一首我很喜歡的歌曲，所以在文化交流晚會我便選擇唱Monica。當時同學覺得很驚奇，我怎可能唱Monica。我是跟着錄影帶，學習他的舞步和唱歌技巧。我不停地在公眾地方練習，其他同學看到我很用心練習，也過來幫助我。在台上表演時有幾位同學為我伴舞，當晚演出非常成功。
一九八五年Leslie和幾位香港天皇巨星，來澳洲開演唱會。演唱會的主辦公司，需要義務司機，朋友問我能否當義務司機。我答應了，後來知道是當Leslie的司機。有一天他放假不用排練，我們便駕車往坎培拉，當日天氣多雲有微雨，甚麽也看不清楚，喝過咖啡後便離開，回程是Leslie駕駛，他的英語非常好，途中我們愉快地暢談，這次旅程對我來說是很重要的事情。
一九八六年Alan到來澳洲，我又當了他的司機。在他入住的酒店，介紹人在偶像面前，誤把我的名字說成河詠麟，當時在偶像面前我也不懂怎樣矯正。大約有兩年很多人以為我是河詠麟。他的四位女和音，知道我懂得唱他的歌，所以告訴了他，在排練那天他叫我上台一起唱。認識Leslie 和Alan兩位巨星，對我的影響很大，聽到他們的歌，和看到觀眾的反應，我開始對香港的歌唱發展很重視。
因為常常想着唐人街和唱歌，沒有用功讀書，因此醫科的第三年考試不合格，需要重讀，在一九八六年重讀了三個月便決定退學。
後來做了三份洗碗碟工作，還做了個多月砌磚的工作，我把工作一年多，所得工資儲起來，買了一張單程機票和帶了一千澳元，便到來香港發展。唯一的準備是問一個朋友能否到他的家中居住。他的父親很勉強地答應，但需要收租金。我甚麽準備也沒有，只是刻意買了一張單程機票，是因為不想遇到少許困難便放棄，返回澳洲。
初到香港時甚麼都不認識，沒有計劃，也沒有朋友。我最先是住在廣播道，但我的朋友不是在那裡居住，因為他還在讀書。初來時沒有事做，所以在外面逛了幾天，有一天意外地行到紅磡體育館，中門外有四名男士在吸煙，他們竟然叫我河詠麟。原來他們是Alan的樂隊成員，在一九八六年見過面，但相隔一年，竟然還可以記起我，這就是緣分。當時Alan正在為演唱會排練，他們帶我進去體育館，這樣便再見到Alan。一九八七年的演唱會是三十一場，我看了三十場。本來打算看足三十一場，但是有少許問題出現，因為我住的地方有規定，晚上十時半後便會關門，不會再讓人進出。但演唱會是不會這麽早便完場，每晚看完演唱會，我會行去尖沙嘴，然後再步行回廣播道，然後在公園外的石椅小睡，到五時公園開門便進去睡覺，但最終因捱不住，有一晚沒有去看演唱會。有一次Alan突然問我，今晚可否上台唱歌，我說當然可以，便成為他的嘉賓。我第一次表演Alan十分開心，但第二次他在台上介紹，有一個外國人，唱他的歌十分出色，當他呼喚河詠麟出場，因為我不在場，所以沒有出現。後來他問我為何沒有出現，我便向他解釋原因，他便安排我入住酒店，直到演唱會完結。所以便有第三次呼喚我上台，這是我第二次成為嘉賓跟他一起唱「朋友」，真是十分興奮。到八月他的生日會也有邀請我做嘉賓，其實每一件發生的事情都是有關係的。
後來我在北角僑冠大厦租了一間劏房居住，有一次從北角行到中環，看到一間職業介紹公司的招聘啟示，我便前往應徵。當時職員說我可以教英文，但我不是教師，他認為沒有問題，便介紹我到一間補習社工作。在補習社工作了幾個月，有一位同事看到一張電視台的海報，需要招聘 一個西方人，但要懂得說中文。我致電應徵，他是一位獨立經紀，我說沒有經驗和廣東話也不是很好，他說沒有問題。我便去見一位電視台女監製，她給我一段英文劇本，要我讀出來。因為很緊張，五分鐘都不能出聲，我跟自己說，不嘗試會後侮一生。那一段對白是警官責備下級，責備人一定是很大聲的，所以我便很大聲說出來。當時她正在做自己的事，沒有再理會我，但我的叫聲使她大吃一驚。因為沒有其他外國人給她選擇，她無奈地聘請了我，這套劇集需要兩個西方人，另外一位是當主角，從那時開始，便在電視台工作了二十年。
二零一四年九月我在N o w T V的一個音樂節目做嘉賓，在一間音樂室裡我和三位節目主持人，唱歌和談論音樂。到最近才知道，他們三位是100毛的老闆。到聖誕100毛找我拍攝雜誌封面，我不知為何找我拍攝封面，原來三位老闆是認識我的，只是我自己不知道。
二零一五年八月他們聯絡我，他們有一首歌，問我會否願意演唱，那首歌曲我很熟悉，歌詞十分口語化，應該可以學到的。但當時是星期五，表演是在星期日，只得兩天時間作準備，所以我很用心練習。舞台是有電視屏幕可以看到歌詞，但我盡量避免看電視屏幕，只是有需要時才看一看，便可以放心地唱。能夠上台非常開心，我可以扮了演一個角色，唱一首悅耳和有趣的歌，觀眾很熱鬧和興奮，真是十分難得。我知道這是一生一次，這不是自己可以做到，是他們給我機會。那首歌很受歡迎，而且登上了流行榜。聖誕節前他們聯絡我，表示將會舉辦總選，問我會否參加，我便欣然答應了。當天每位表演者，會有兩首歌曲，在十二月廿六日接到新歌，我從沒有聽過那首歌，是一首說唱歌曲，而且歌詞很陌生，對我來說十分困難，所以我不停地練習了四百多次。當晚表演由Now T V直播，有七十萬人觀看，想不到自己能夠獲得香港區最受歡迎男歌星獎，當宣佈我的名字時，極度開心，無人能想到，唱出真香港的歌曲，是由一個西方人唱出，可以感動到別人。這是天時地利人和，超乎現實，簡直是一個奇蹟。因為那首歌不是我揀選，是別人給我的，練習這首歌時眼睛常常都會充了滿淚水和很感動。
西方人在香港發展演藝事業是十分困難的，機會不多，只能扮演一些無關重要的角色，但我從來沒有想過放棄。五年前我計劃灌錄一張唱片，因為胃酸倒流，把聲帶灼傷，使我聲音變得沙啞，這件事使我非常懊惱，因為辛苦練習多年，卻發生了這個問題，後來我矯正了唱歌方法，問題得以改善，可以繼續唱歌，現在準備為唱片再進行錄音工作。
最近有很多關於少數族裔的事情出現在我身上 ，現在我為一個港台節目做旁白，是關於少數族裔在香港。他們在本地娛樂圈發展是十分困難，因為在一個有九成是同一種族的地方，看電視或電影，也是會看自己的種族，未必會看少數族裔。如果他們幾個人合作，做一個節目，然後在網上發放，是有機會成功。香港有很多少數族裔居住，有些人的中文比我好，他們也愛香港。
我心目中的香港人，是要做香港人做的事，吃香港人吃的食物，關心香港，不看膚色，希望他們也能說廣東話，最重要是覺得香港是自己的家，這便是真正的香港人。

I am Gregory. I hail from Queensland, Australia. During my high school years, my grades were excellent. They were good enough for me to enroll in any subject that I wanted to in university. At that time, I wanted to become a doctor because I could help others. I studied Medicine at the University of New South Wales. In my first year, I lived in my friend’s home located in North Sydney. During my second year, I lived in International House at the university. It was a rule for the school campus to have at least 50 percent overseas students. They cannot be Australians. I met a lot of Hong Kong, Singaporean and Malaysian friends in my first two years. I was able to get along with them very well. But what is most important was that after living in International House, I came across Hong Kong pop music. One day I was walking along the corridors and overheard beautifully melodic music. I asked my classmate what music he was listening to and if he could lend me the music to listen to. He leant it to me.
I have forgotten whether it was the music of Leslie or Alan. But I am sure it was one of them because I really liked that kind of music. I went to Chinatown to buy it. Eventually, I listened to the music as I read the lyrics. In turn, I slowly picked up a lot of Chinese characters.
I attended many different functions to perform Cantonese songs in university because I really liked to sing. I also attended a singing competition organized by the Hong Kong student association. The competition song was ‘Root of Love’. In the end I won second runner-up. I clearly remember International House wanted to organize cultural exchanges so they held international banquets each year. Their hope was for students from different ethnic backgrounds to perform and share their culture.
In 1985, Leslie won an award for singing ‘Monica’. It was a song that I really loved. During the international cultural exchange banquet, I chose to sing ‘Monica’. At that time my classmates were very surprised. How can I sing ‘Monica’? I followed the videos to learn the dance steps and singing techniques. I kept on practicing in public. Other students witnessed how hard I was practicing and came over to help me out. A few classmates became my accompanying dancers as I danced on stage. The performance that night was extremely successful.
Leslie and a group of Hong Kong superstars visited Australia to hold concerts in 1985. The concert organizer needed a voluntary driver. My friends asked me whether I wanted to be the voluntary driver. I accepted the offer. In the end I found out that I would become Leslie’s driver. There was one day when he was on break and did not need to rehearse. We drove to Canberra. It was cloudy and there was light rain on that day. We could not see clearly. After having a coffee, we left. Leslie was next to drive. His English was very good. During the journey back we chatted happily. The trip was very important to me.
In 1986, Alan came to Australia. I was also his driver. Our mutual friend misread my name as “Ho Wing Lun” in front of my idol during his stay at the hotel. I was not able to correct him at the time because Alan (“Wing Lun”) was my idol. Many people thought I was called “Ho Wing Lun” for around two years. His four back-up singers knew I was able to sing Alan’s songs. That was why they told him about it. During rehearsal day, he told me to sing with him on stage. Knowing superstars like Leslie and Alan had a great impact on me. To be able to listen to their songs and to witness the reactions from the audience led me to become interested in a singing career in Hong Kong.
I did not put in a lot of effort in my studies because I always thought of Chinatown and singing. Consequently, I failed my medical examinations in my third year. I had to re-take my subjects. In 1986, I re-took my studies for three months but then I decided to quit school.
In the end I juggled three dish washing jobs and also many months of brick laying work. I saved up a whole year of my salary and bought a one-way ticket to Hong Kong. I also carried $1000 Australian dollars on me. I then went to Hong Kong to develop my career. I only asked my friend whether I could stay at his place as preparation to living in my new homeland. His father reluctantly agreed but had to receive rent. I did not have anything equipped or prepared. I only purposely bought a one-way ticket because I did not want to easily give up when I encountered minor difficulties and return to Australia.
When I first arrived in Hong Kong, I did not know anything. I did not have any plans. I also did not have any friends. Initially, I lived in Broadcast Drive but my friend did not live there because he was still studying. I did not have anything to do at first. That was why I hung around Hong Kong for several days. One day, by coincidence, I came across Hung Hom Coliseum. At the entrance, there were four men smoking. They noticed me and surprisingly called out “Ho Wing Lun”. They were, in fact, members of Alan’s band. We have first met in 1986. Surprisingly, they remembered me after a whole year. That is called fate. At that time, Alan was preparing for his concert. The four men brought me inside the Coliseum. I saw Alan. There were 31 shows in his 1987 concert. I watched 30 of them. I intended to watch all 31 shows but there was a slight problem. There were rules at my guest house. After ten thirty each night, the door to the home will be locked. Nobody was allowed to enter or leave the house. But concerts do not end so early. So, after watching each concert in the evening, I would walk to Tsim Sha Tsui and then walk back to Broadcast Drive. I would sleep on the concreate seats outside the park. When the park opens at five in the morning, I will go in and sleep. Eventually, I was unable to handle it. One night I cannot watch a show. Once Alan asked me “Can you sing on stage tonight?” I told him “Of course I can.” I became his special guest. Alan was extremely happy when I first performed. By the second show, he announced that: “There is a westerner who can sing my songs very well.” He called out my name “Ho Wing Lun!” But because I was not at the scene, I did not show up. Eventually, he asked me why I did not show up. I explained my reason to him. He then arranged a hotel for me to stay at until the end of the concert. That was why he was able to call me out the third time! That was my second time as special guest singing “Friends” with him. It was exhilarating. In August, he introduced me as a special guest at his birthday party. Actually, everything happens for a reason and everything is interconnected.
Soon after, I rented a tiny flat at a building in North Point to live in. I walked from North Point to Central once. I came across a recruitment agency looking to hire. I went in to give it a shot. At that time, the staff said I could teach English but I was not a teacher. The staff said it was not a problem and introduced me to work at a learning center. After working there for a few months, a colleague saw a TV station’s poster. They were looking to recruit a westerner but that person needs to be able to speak Cantonese. I called to give it a try. The person who answered was an independent agent. I told that agent I had no experience and my Cantonese was not very good. The agent told me it was not a problem. I went to see the TV station’s female producer. She gave me an English script and wanted me to read it out. I was so nervous that I did not utter a word in five minutes. I told myself, if I do not try, I will regret it for life. The dialogue depicted a police telling off a subordinate. When you tell someone off, you must be very loud so, I read my lines out very loudly. At that time, the female producer was doing her own work and did not care about me but because I was so loud, I frightened her! As there were no other westerners for her to choose from, she had no choice but to hire me. The TV show required two westerners. The other westerner played the main character. From then onwards, I worked at the TV station for twenty years.
In September 2014, I appeared as a guest on a NowTV music program. I was in a band room with the three show hosts. We sang and discussed music. Only recently, I found out that they were the Founders of 100 Most. When it was Christmas, 100 Most invited me to appear on the cover of their magazine. I did not know why they wanted me to do it – only to find out that the Founders of the magazine already knew who I was! It was just me who did not know that.
In August 2015, 100 Most contacted me and asked me whether I wanted to sing this particular song. I was very familiar with the song lyrics. The lyrics were very colloquial. I should be able to learn it. It was Friday. The performance was on Sunday. I only had two days to prepare for it. That was why I practiced very hard. The stage showcased the lyrics. But I tried my best not to look at them. I would only glance at them when I needed to. I felt more confident and assured as I sang.
I was extremely elated to be able to perform on stage. I can play a role singing a wonderful and amusing song. The audience was super warm and excited. It was a moment to be treasured. I know this can only happen once in my life. It cannot be done by myself. It is because I was given a chance by 100 Most. The song was very popular and hit the charts. Before Christmas, 100 Most contacted me and expressed that there would be a final election of the songs. They asked me whether I would like to participate. I was more than happy to give it a try. On the day of the show, each contestant would have two songs.
On the 26th of December, I received the new song. I have never heard of the song before. It was a rap song. I was very unfamiliar with the lyrics. I found them very difficult. That was why I kept practicing it for more than four hundred times. The show was broadcasted live by NowTV. Around seven hundred thousand people watched the broadcast. I cannot imagine winning the Best Hong Kong Male Singer. When my name was announced, I was extremely delighted. Nobody can imagine that a westerner was able to sing a song about ‘real Hong Kong’. It can touch people. It was something that happened at the right place and at the right time. It was also surreal and a complete miracle. It is because the song was not selected by me. It was given to me by others. My eyes were often wet from practicing this song. I was very touched.
It is very difficult for westerners to develop their artistry in the entertainment industry. Chances are slim. They can only play roles that are irrelevant and unimportant. But I never thought of giving up. Five years ago I planned to record my own album. But because of stomach acid reflux, my vocal chords got damaged. My voice became hoarse and coarse. It brought me a lot of frustrations because I have worked hard for many years. Then this happened. I then amended my singing techniques and the issue improved significantly. I was able to sing again. I am now working on re-recording my new album.
A lot of ethnic minority issues materialized around me as of late. I am currently the voice over for a RTHK program about ethnic minorities in Hong Kong. It is very hard for them to develop their career in the local entertainment industry. It is because when 90 percent of the people share the same skin color comes together in a particular place, those watching TV or film will tend to watch people of their own skin color. They may not watch ethnic minorities. If a group of ethnic minorities work together to create a program for the web, it may work out. There are a lot of ethnic minorities residing in Hong Kong. Some of their Chinese is better than mine. They also love Hong Kong very much.
‘Hong Kongers’, to me, are people who need to do things ‘Hong Kongers’ do. Eat Hong Kong food. Care about Hong Kong. And do not look at skin color. I hope they can also speak Cantonese. Most importantly, they should regard Hong Kong as their home. Then, they are ‘real Hong Kongers’.
