［蘋果咬一口］Steve Jobs死後，蘋果股價仲升咗8倍。投資有幾難？

TLDR：根本蘋果人人皆知時都任你買。投資反映性格，最大嘅敵人，就係你自己嘅貪念同短視。我都係。

1. 介紹返，篇文唔係講蘋果。係講投資，講股票as a whole。當然我發現好多人好鍾意講「一見篇文開頭講乜乜已經唔想睇落去」。何其傲慢，好似你啲時間好值錢咁。埃汾一向都話，never judge a book by its cover．「同樣地，未上床唔好講真愛」。I am serious。睇完幾千字覺得個作者廢，咪畀多次機會。睇多幾篇都唔得嘅，咪唔好睇。

2. 話時話，呢排記得keep 住like and share，主動入嚟睇，同埋設定做see first．真係搵食艱難。但感激大家，Keep住做，呢排啲Reach係好返好多的，但唔好鬆懈。一個都不能少呀

3. 其實唔少朋友讀者都有蘋果股票（＊），唔好話發達，但回報已經叻過絶大多數人。基本上你任何位買都贏錢，你見到呢篇文時係星期一，蘋果出完業績。升10%，歷史新高，所以任何位買都贏錢（＊＊）。而家係間市值18000億嘅公司。有幾驚人？冇，就係全世界最大市值咁解。就係早兩年都講緊齊齊鬥快10000億，four comma club （one trillion，12個零，4個comma）．而家分分鐘今年有人去到20000億。

4. BTW，見到啦？早幾年先10000億，而家20000億。不投資，往下流。即使呢個Page或明報專欄（今日有，記得買份，我冇得分，但支持下明報），我都至少講左幾年。

5. 但呢篇文唔係講蘋果業績，係講投資股票，as a whole。「其實唔難」。但點解咁多人做唔到（包括小弟，但已改進好多）？好簡單，畢菲特講嘅依然啱—冇人想慢慢發達。

6. 蘋果做乜，不用多講。埃瘋咯。冇錯仲有埃扑（其實係咪冇咗？），埃劈，埃窩廚，埃覓及其朋友覓卜等等。但主要都係埃瘋單天保至尊。勉強講而家仲有「服務」，上得快，但而家都係埃瘋佔近半收入，況且沒有埃瘋那有服務。有機會另文講下。

7. 所以，的確好多人講蘋果「冇創意」，食老本，一招走天下—但吹咩，就係一招走天下就夠做全世界最大市值企業。《絶世好BRA》有講，花式唔使多，女人要嘅唔係呢啲。同樣地，投資者要嘅，好簡單，給我盈利，其他免問。

8. 遲下我再寫篇文，寫另一個對比：Google，夠多元化，乜招式都有。當然都好勁，但，同蘋果比如何？一句，搵唔搵到錢？而家我地講股票下話？咁巴閉，點解賺唔到錢？哦我地唔係為錢咁庸俗。咁唔好上市咯。你私人公司任你點玩都得。上市公司股東就係睇利潤，你以為Steve Jobs因為脾氣臭畀人炒？

9. 聽聞李小龍都係咁講，唔怕你式一百種體位，至怕你一招傳教士練一百次。

10. 嚟啦喎，睇圖。應該好易明。藍色係蘋果嘅收入，十億美金計，左邊軸。紅色係純利，一樣十億美金計，都係左邊軸。灰色線？紅色除藍色，純利率，net profit margin，右邊軸。

11. 當然蘋果唔係2002先成立，再早嘅數我都有。揀2002主要因為2001年蝕錢。而我原本用log scale 後來唔用，費事再搞，但不影響討論。

12. 因為，我地唔好離地到講咩10蚊買騰訊呀，九十年代買蘋果咁痴線先。我地講啲realistic 嘅嘢。

13. 我係一個蘋果用家，但只限埃瘋埃劈埃扑，冇其他。我更加唔會半夜睇發佈會（好似睇過一次，冇由頭到尾睇完）。但我想講，我好記得教主Steve Job係幾時死嘅。

14. 因為嗰日，我在馬六甲，出緊差，其實係啲無聊添標定，標到去馬六甲，真爽。當日有啲分組活動，開始時，呀主持人好凝重咁講「我地開始前呢，想同大家分享一個唔係幾好嘅消息」我心諗，做乜春？。原來係教主死咗。咁咋？我係用埃瘋，但好似太痴線啦！

15. 無論如何，嗰日係2011年10月5日。

16. 點解講呢啲？因為教主死嗰日，已經係無人不識咁滯，蘋果亦都已經無人不識。大家只係擔心之後點算。

17. 然後回返帶，用埃瘋嘅你，幾時開始用？或者唔用嘅你，幾時見到有人用？我有個狂熱同事，好似埃瘋吐已經開始用。但我地呢啲正常人，應該係瘋科飛，或者埃瘋科先用。埃瘋科有幾紅？紅到李克勤有首歌叫「埃瘋科」

18. 就由埃瘋科，全城狂熱開始講。時為2010年6月。教主釘蓋前一年。我地睇睇，教主死嗰年，2011年，蘋果收入突破1000億。純利係260億。

19. 似乎豬肉在前，好似莫耶斯教曼聯咁（又係李克勤！），點超越前人？

20. 但就係唔係咁。

21. 打後十年，即係去到今年左右，蘋果收入係當年差不多3倍。其實唔係好多，10年3倍喎。一年11%左右。聽講我啲網友一個月都賺幾成。純利呢？升得更少，一個double 左右。

22. 想講嘅係，教主釘嗰時，蘋果股價，應該50蚊左右。而家400蚊樓上。十年八倍，not bad。你有冇一隻股票升8倍？

23. 而我呢個，已經係極之唔屈機嘅一個講法。根本埃瘋飛埃瘋科嗰幾年，連你阿爺都知道呢件玩意好新奇。但，嗰時你又覺得，扯，賺得一浸錢啫。

24. 係咯，到出埃瘋快乎，你又覺得，扯，咪又係咁，冇乜創意（的確係）。但，請睇多次第7段。到教主死埋，你就覺得，玩完咯，帝國崩潰。而唔知道，教主雖則係極其cult，果粉去到邪教咁地步（你排過生果舖見到有人出嚟同你拍手就知有幾痴線）。但，企業才是永恒。你要質疑嘅，永遠都可以「但係呢如果咁不過呢」，但公司就係不停咁迎難而上，唔係啲友點拎咁高人工？

25. 寫到呢度，你絶對可以質疑一樣嘢。喂，教主死咗之後真係唔得喎。我地就講錢，首先，見唔見個margin 跌咗落嚟？教主死時去到24-26%，近年係20%左右。的確如此。亦畀你見到，近年蘋果收入升得慢，純利更加升得慢。近兩三年其實原地踏步

26. 計長啲？頭先講過，教主死嗰年到而家，收入係當年三倍，純利係當年兩倍多啲。但股價升咗8倍！呀哈！GotCha！仲唔係「股價同基本因素脫節」？

27. 咁，你就諗漏咗兩樣嘢。嚟啦喎。第一，埃瘋飛埃瘋科出嗰時，美國10年國債，5厘息。教主死嗰時，2里半左右。而家，半厘。你覺得冇影響？咁你最好讀少少書先。好喱文講句：借畀美國政府都有5厘息嘅，我買公用股4厘冇乜吸引。但借畀美國政府得0.5厘息嘅，我買公用股3厘都仆到去啦

28. 第二，亦係重點。特登trap你的。冇錯，教主死嗰年至而家，純利只係一個開多啲。但，Earnings per share 每股純利唔係嘛！計EPS，就升咗四倍咁滯了！

29. 點解有咁混帳嘅嘢？簡單數學，每股純利=純利/股數。咁當然係股數少咗！

30. 點解少咗？因為回購！點解回購？因為多錢！唔止，蘋果甚至發債。咁多錢都發債？咁平息，唔借就笨！我借錢嚟回購股票，得咗。但當然要你間公司本身有錢同發債成本低。

31. 回購唔道德？痴線，你見匯控啲乜乜小股東，4月嘈到8月，咪又係嘈人派息。回購同派息效果相似，但唔使畀美國政府抽稅。

32. 加上，再講一次，聯儲局將啲息壓到咁低。公司根本發債回購都有so．所以低息點會冇助股市？

33. 睇完呢篇文，你就真係明白，唔使睇坊間好多垃圾文。

34. BTW，收費專欄今星期會重出江湖。留名……係冇discount嘅。不過會第一時間通知你。之前冇訂嘅。話你知，你就當呢篇係sample，雖則未必寫咁長。一個星期三篇。收費應該平過之前。

（＊）我冇統計過，但讀者好似係果粉多。而我幾肯定香港嘅果粉佔比係比全世界高。好簡單，有錢。但呢個唔係重點。唔係果粉先要買蘋果。係相反，你係叔粉巿粉先更加要買蘋果！Keep your friend close, but your enemy closer。所以我雖則討厭香港，但一樣買香港股票—因為，萬一我錯呢？

（＊＊）包拗頸嘅，咁嗰時day high個位買咪唔係咯，四百幾蚊輸六毫子。你係嘅，影張相畀我，我請你食飯又點話。

陳詠謙都有打手。。。。。。

本身對呢個人冇咩唔好既感覺，只係嫌少少哂左陳奕迅啲歌既曲，不過再多睇其他人既comment, 愈睇愈有問題，呀，係咪應該寫篇blog講下佢好？

路見不平，自命正義，終於都要挪用寶貴時間，去點評陳詠謙嘅大作，嘗試為民請命。其實點評歌詞實在非我所長，音律押韻我亦只有皮毛了解，但係畢竟自細聽香港流行曲聽大，有感仗義執言先至無負香港流行曲於我人生嘅啟蒙，唯有挺身而出，盡力而為。先旨聲明，寫歌詞唔同寫散文小說，遣詞造句確實有彈性得多，可以不拘泥於傳統，而寫得意象曖昧，含意深隱，亦唔代表詞作有誤，因此內文要寫嘅，主要係順應網民意見，針對絕對無法原諒嘅大弊，例如立意古怪、錯用詞語、表意混亂等各種問題，某啲顯而易見嘅小病，例如〈龍舌蘭〉直頭唔啱音呢類大家心照不宣嘅，就唔會多講。以下我精選咗十首算係近年街知巷聞嘅垃圾作品淺評分析，希望可以拋磚引玉，畀便交流。

1. 高山低谷

第一首，必定要揀林奕匡嘅成名作，因為一黎呢首亦係陳詠謙成名之作，二黎林奕匡係一眾受害歌手之中搵陳詠謙寫得最多歌嘅一位。由於呢首都算係佢填得相對認真嘅歌，稍為認真去聽，相信大家都意會到歌詞要表達嘅訊息，就係寫二人地位不對等，情人遠在天邊，抒發可望不可即嘅感慨，類似《詩經》中嘅〈蒹葭〉。而正因為立意明確，只要聽眾細加咀嚼，就會發現有唔少用語係異於我地平常嘅語文習慣，而各種誤用，都唔足以稱上鑄造新詞，而係徹底嘅錯用，長久咁用落去絕對會影響我地嘅語文鑑賞能力。

廣為傳唱嘅副歌之中，寫到「渴望被成全」，呢點係中學生都常犯嘅錯，語文水平略高嘅人都會知問題喺邊。首先，渴望社會或他人成全，寫渴望成全已經夠清晰，亦合乎文法，根本毋須強加被字。其次，就當佢係被動句，被動句多數常用於呈現負面情況，例如「他被歌迷離棄了」。雖然漢語歐化潮流之下，被字亦會拎黎寫所有被動情況，用法分別係：一、強調被動，如「他被上司提攜了」，但較恰當嘅用法應該係「他獲得了上司提攜」；二、施事者不明，如「他被痛罵了一頓」，唔知邊個鬧咗佢；以及三、強調謂語，如「民意被政府騎劫了」，突顯民意遭不當操作。近幾年社會風氣好中意講「被自殺」、「被抑鬱」、「被捉迷藏」去嘲諷中國對待異見人士嘅卑鄙手段，亦突顯被字特質。因此，成全本來就必須取決於他人，「渴望被成全」中嘅被字份屬多餘，而參考返林夕作品，佢係傾向少用呢個被字，更加從來唔會濫用去充塞字數。

然後係「腳下路程難以削短」，亦係不當。要貫徹文意，最準確應該係用「縮短」，但係唔啱音，唔用得。削字，多用於削皮去屑、削弱削減、削職以及剝削，而路程之縮減，勉強用削，拎最近則只有削弱削減一義，但削減係指從原定數目之中減去若干數目，多數牽涉具體數量。而「天一黑天一光揮發了一句再會」亦係睇得明而寫不通。考慮到揮發一詞必定要同所揮發之物共同出現，可見句意係指呢一聲拜拜會蒸發會消失，咁睇返上文下理，到底點解突然會有呢句拜拜？同埋周而復始每日講拜拜又應該點樣理解？係咪指每日返工放工同人講拜拜都係多餘？呢句都係有待解釋。加上「只見人下墮」令人聯想到跳樓，「我繼續埋藏我愛戀」嘅愛戀應該寫作感情，以及整體故事空洞，成首歌都無法打動人心。無可否認，用山勢為喻，以陳詠謙水平計，已經係上佳之作，但係真係慘不忍暏。

2. 別來無恙

第二首，因為一句「我現時自己肯做飯」而飽受批評，加上陳詠謙本人沾沾自喜現身解話，亦係一定要寫。首先，我絕對唔反對援引口語入文，推廣粵語理所當然，但豬隊友推廣得眼高手低，就係成事不足，敗事有餘。「我現時自己肯做飯」之所以不能接受，首先係做飯唔係廣東話，做愛至係，其次係破壞意境，寫得太白。根據陳詠謙本人陳詞，佢認為一個人dry到要自己煮飯好適合主人公情況，而唔押韻都係刻意為之，因為咁樣對應返故事主角悔疚一世，凡事都看破，其實呢兩點問題都唔算大，因為個出事位係在於呢句只係表現自己獨立嘅例子，而唔係概括句。副歌開首，普遍係直抒胸臆，或者概括痛心程度，甚少會兜口兜面隊一句嘢出黎，聽眾話聽到尷尬嘅原因，應該係咁。參考返黃偉文嘅「二百年後在一起／應該不怕旁人不服氣」，或者林夕嘅「世界將我包圍／誓死都一齊」，其實都相當直白同口語化，但就一啲都唔突兀，反而引起到好多人共鳴。

值得一提自然唔少得「來年陪著子女學行／紀念當初我們的愛情」。由於主人公目前單身，我地不妨假設子女係指對方嘅子女，但既然係咁，又係邊個想借用呢啲子女去紀念主人公嘅愛情？同埋若要紀念，子女非己所出，兩者關係喺邊？呢句真係相當費解。然後自然亦要談及「王菲的孤寂／多麼孤寂」。眾所周知，王菲有首〈百年孤寂〉，但咁樣抽孤寂二字借代全首，相當突兀。加上以反復修辭強調孤寂，極有濫竽充數之嫌，借用連登網民一句，一個肥柒on9仔自己打緊xanga個場景，真係完全咁呈現咗出黎。而我覺得有一句，亦係表現得出陳詠謙其人對於成語嘅運用係只取片面之意，唔識其中內涵——「恃住雄辯滔滔／隨便的把你喝罵」。呢種情況喺中學生作文之中亦係相當普遍，因為佢地背誦成語而又缺乏廣泛閱讀，對於詞語嘅理解唔係由字句之中而得，因此就會畀老師打曬交叉。雄辯滔滔一詞褒多於貶，多數用於讚美，例如「這位律師雄辯滔滔，聽得旁聽市民心悅誠服」，又或者杜甫《飲中八仙歌》中嘅「高談雄辯驚四筵」，一般係指其人發言具說服力，以理服人。雖然世俗有言，「事實勝於雄辯」，但雄辯唔等同於狡辯詭辯，因此同情人爭執，同埋事後亦知道自己理虧，係咪應該用雄辯滔滔，亦係值得商榷。

呢首歌其實有一點特色相當鮮明，相當陳詠謙，就係每句都係個腦冇點諗就不加修飾咁講出口，而且句與句之間割裂去睇都完全無礙傳意。對歌詞冇乜要求嘅人，未必察覺到問題所在。同樣生活化嘅情節，其實楊千嬅嘅〈假如讓我說下去〉都有，「但我把／談情的氣力轉贈誰／跟你電話之中講再會／再會誰」即係冇人同我傾電話，「暴雨天／我至少想講掛念你／然後你／你最多會笑著迴避」就係顧左右而言他，甚至熄機潛水，但林夕之所以一啲打xanga嘅感覺都冇，係因為佢掌握以至駕馭得到何謂藝術——將自然同現實加以修飾加以轉化，呢一層人為工夫就叫藝術。〈別〉描述主人公分手後陷於懊悔，內容貼近生活，照計係好易畀聽眾代入，但就正因為咁，意圖代入嘅聽眾聽到一頭霧水，代入無方，可以話係高不成低不就。

3. 經過一些秋與冬＋哪裡只得我共你

Dear Jane嘅簡單易明K歌之選，又係陳詠謙傑作。「兩眼一黑／然後失控」令人聯想到頭暈倒地以及精神病發，九唔搭八，而領起句嘅「一些」同「與」本來就係蛇足，事關寫歷經秋冬同揮去驚恐就已經夠曬精煉。副歌「 無謂再關心你／我沒資格慰問你／無謂再騷擾妳／我沒這塊厚面皮」其實都幾適合失戀聽眾，但量詞之選用，直接反映出陳詠謙不諳避俗，缺乏語感。所謂語感，其實就係語言使用者對其所熟悉嘅語言有冇敏銳感覺﹐能否領悟語言文字真實意思以及必然會引起嘅聯想﹐直覺必待厚積薄發，同語文根基息息相關。用塊字去形容臉皮，會令人聯想到塊狀死物，進而聯想到牛皮豬皮，就算句子本身幾有詩意，一個塊字都足以盡廢前功。語感佳者，可以善用詞語刺激聯想，但語感弱者，萬一誤用就會弄巧反拙，呢一點，所有寫作者都應當有所警覺。

另外，「得到的若期望有限期／失去的未重聚已別離／後悔如我遍地」亦係反面教材。遍地呢個詞語其實好有畫面，例如自由民主遍地開花，或者風吹草低牛羊遍地，只要一見遍地，讀者就會聯想到數量之多，發展之盛。但觀照呢句歌詞，遍地嘅理應係後悔，但寫出黎引起嘅聯想就係主人公遍地——大概係因為TVB重播《西遊記》太多，我所諗到嘅係孫悟空大顯神通，一條猴毛落地即可化成千百猴子猴孫之勢，同後悔之情極為矛盾，成個感覺極之滑稽。參考返陳奕迅一首〈黑暗中漫舞〉，其中有一句「猶如自卑水銀瀉地」，當中嘅水銀瀉地，即係水銀流到一地都係，令人聯想到玻璃落地隨之流瀉，一發不可收，非常適合用於形容主人公每每獨自揣摩情人心理之時嘅自卑爆發，同時深化主題，令人可以透過具體比喻去感受主人公單戀嘅卑微渺小。兩相對比，大家就會理解點解後悔遍地係不知所謂，而自卑瀉地則係神來之筆。

順手講埋〈哪裡只得我共你〉之中，為人詬病嘅「我們身邊太多假人／心中太多傷痕」。第一個問題，係陳詠謙點解要寫假人，因為準確而言，呢首歌想傳達嘅係對抗世俗眼光，而主要世俗現象並非虛假；第二個問題，係亂咁簡化為假人二字，又會引起不當聯想，令人諗到CPR練習用公仔，櫥窗display公仔，驅趕雀仔嘅稻草人，甚至消防處嘅任何仁。除非佢係明知到會引起不當聯想都要用，否則明顯又係語感薄弱之過。睇埋「途經幾百萬傷口」同「與外界／未隔絕我共你／能停止呼吸」，我更有理由相信，假人所指，真係CPR練習用公仔阿Anne，而「不掙扎／只緊扣」，亦一定係指緊三角巾同繃帶，成首歌係為聖約翰救傷隊暗中宣傳。

意境係一樣好抽象嘅嘢，而某年書展講座，林夕就曾經講過意境可以分為三種境界，一係山寨，二係自己創造，三係灌注生命同感情。第一種，就係運用約定俗成而又根深蒂固嘅傳統意象，亦即係中學生學習寫作必學嘅大自然景物，諸如星星月亮太陽天地花草，其中若果突然出現現代物品諸如蘋果電腦應用程式芝士拉絲抹茶爆漿，文章就會意境盡失，而陳詠謙明顯係畫虎不成反類犬嘅示範人物。第二種，自己設定，就好似林夕有期好中意用探戈咁，以跳舞相持比喻情愛拉鋸，寫得貼切就可以自成一格，睇返陳詠謙大紅作品，可以話係冇一首做到。第三種，用返林夕自己舉嘅例句，「滿街腳步突然靜了／滿天柏樹突然沒有動搖」之所以有意境，就係因為作者觸覺敏銳，以「滿天」而非「滿街」去寫柏樹，所以就描寫到樹勢之高，從而襯托出主人公獨自流連街頭何其微不足道，而其身影又係何其嘅失魂落魄，得出融情入景而後情景交融嘅效果。當一位做到寫景則情景相生，說理則情理兼備，而另一個則直接將秋與冬寫出黎，其後又再將「只知感覺失了蹤」寫出黎，文學係咪真係一句各有各觀點就可以打發紛爭，聽眾心中自有答案。

4. 百年不合

眾多歌手入面，周柏豪其實同陳詠謙係最夾，而原因係周柏豪畀人嘅觀感本來就冇乜文化，因此陳詠謙嘅詞質樸庸俗而又文句不通，反而非常配合周柏豪形象。以〈百〉為例，其實我聽咗好多次，都唔明何謂「即使今生擱淺／苦等隔世盛宴」。陳詠謙低手之處，就係唔識連用一系列有關比喻去經營意象，生硬插入詞語，但又缺乏前後呼應。見到擱淺，讀者自然會聯想到海洋，聯想到輪船，聯想到鯨豚，但〈百〉偏偏冇一樣嘢係關事。由於人係唔會擱淺，讀者必須自行領會擱淺之意，偏偏陳詠謙又冇建構到完整比喻，寫到不倫不類。參考返麥浚龍嘅〈吃鯨魚的人〉，黃偉文寫得清楚吃鯨魚者為何人，所以吃鯨魚呢個人類根本唔會做得到嘅行為亦好易理解，而「隨時能屠殺／也不必講究良心」中嘅屠殺，亦唔會偏向無關主題嘅多餘聯想例如種族屠殺，落點相對清晰。

然後我地亦可以研究「若未夠赤裸／撫摸到永遠」同「在婚紗中再見」想表達乜嘢。前句之中，赤裸應該係指主人公將自己心聲表露無遺，但對方無動於衷，然而呢點基礎，根本幫唔到讀者去理解到底係邊個撫摸邊個，同埋點解要撫摸，可謂上文不接下理。而後句之中，在婚紗中唔同在婚禮中，到底點樣至可以進入婚紗之中，又係百思不得其解。陳詠謙可能會辯稱呢啲就係創意，同埋寫到明在婚禮中再見就係死板，但達到一定文字鑑賞門檻嘅人，相信會知道咁樣寫絕對唔可行。

講返成個敘事，其實真係撲朔迷離。我至今再聽，都係諗唔明到底主人公同埋對方係情根早種，定係有緣無分。歌詞講到今世「當你想行前一寸／愛下去又發現你／站到一邊」，又講「卻是證實這段愛／沒有起點」即係對方根本唔過電，發展機率近乎零，既然如此，點解主人公會有認定大家係「分開一百年／捱到今生才遇見」？「拉扯著那根線」又到底從何而來？《紅樓夢》之中，曹雪芹一開始就以神話領起，寫賈寶玉係頑石入世，而林黛玉則係絳珠仙草，其後兩人一生糾纏係命運嘅安排，此之所以愛得轟烈，傷得淒苦，但同百年好合正正相反嘅百年不合吹到咁大，去到最尾只係講返某一世嘅小情小愛，未免流於小題大做。

5. 小問題＋3am

AGA嘅〈小問題〉係好聽，但一聽就發現取材好大問題。雖然應付失戀各有各法，喜愛夜蒲放肆買醉都可以係反映現實，但主人公個性之差難逢敵手，我估唔到連詩雅都終於會遇到競爭。「穿起高踭取悅人」同「只記得我新結識那碧眼金髪的氣質」，於我而言，某程度上係物化女性，矮化女性；「只須很悉心的設計／裝飾我這身體」同「只須很瀟灑的破費／修葺我每處枯萎」，刻劃出主人公滿足於物質，只顧外在，形象實在相當廉價。最弊嘅係，首歌完全冇任何自強之寄意，反而係以「我只得這一點智慧」為放浪行為開脫，歌手形象徹底崩壞，MK到無以復加。

而用字方面，「我不要雙眼承受雨季」嘅雨季又係毫無鋪墊就彈出黎，引用返林夕嘅意境論，雨季係老嫗能解嘅傳統意象，要寫唔係唔得，但成首歌冇提過水，冇提過雨，連眼淚都冇提過，突然以雨季去寫哭泣，就係顯得突兀嘅原因。再睇「別這樣干擾我一生」，干擾係同接受訊號有關，如果對方係干擾，主人公應該由頭到尾都係對佢反感，但既然曾經癡心錯付，對方好歹都係過氣情人，要貶損對方，以打擾形容，會比干擾合適。參考返黎明嘅〈我這樣愛你〉，會見到林夕有用覆蓋去寫主人公對情人嘅愛綿密如羅網，而「何時才發現／就算天涯海角／都可能覆蓋」之中嘅覆蓋用得準確之餘，更加迎合到和記廣告行銷要求，一石二鳥，天衣無縫。

而〈3am〉其實一首好難出事嘅歌，事關英文部分都應該係跟返demo，偏偏又畀陳詠謙踢出身價。「如假開心開心開始假得很／倒不攤開這張牌」運用頂真，但又係砌詞搪塞；而「終於真的真的不再有情意」同「 終於真的真的不同行」用詞重複，但真的二字唔係歌詞要旨，因為主人公只係夜半失眠，唔係陷入幻想，分唔清夢境同現實。陳奕迅嘅〈不來也不去〉之中，有「如煙／因給你遞過火／如火／卻也沒融掉我」，林夕嘅頂真係用得其所，因為兩句確有承接。而同樣係陳奕迅嘅〈K歌之王〉之中，有「才令我因你要呼天叫地愛愛愛愛那麼多」，其中嘅愛字四連，有嗌破喉嚨之意，係愛到力竭聲嘶嘅出色詮釋，又係用得啱啱好。

6. 矛盾一生＋揮揮手

JW嘅〈矛〉唱到街知巷聞，控訴對方不知上進，無意結婚，好多人都會引用「矛盾只因深愛著」自況，而我自此至終，都唔明乜叫「跌下來瘡疤」，而「怎會沒決心成家」亦有力問鼎陳詠謙十大缺乏語感排行榜三甲。成家呢個用語從來唔會喺抒情歌入面見到係有原因，事關多元成家、成家立室、立業成家中嘅成家，係新聞用嘅正經用語，一般人談婚論嫁，多數都係講返結婚就算，唔會選用咁沉重嘅字眼。正如我地唔會喺同朋友傾偈嘅時候話「有見及此，我會出席」，或者「多謝你諮詢我意見」，而係會講「你咁講，我就去喇」，或者「多謝你肯聽我意見」，又正如去餐廳嗌嘢食落order，我地會講「I would go for this one」，或者「I would like to take this one」，同自己朋友或者情人講嘢，就算幾咁相敬如賓，多數都係講「I want this one」，頂盡都係講「Can I have this one」，用字係應當有場合之分，身分之別，唔可以隨心亂講，任性亂寫。〈揮〉之中有句「成為寂寞人口／脫去戒指」，所犯同上。

而講到用韻乸西，〈矛〉副歌用死「aa」，以嗎吧為主，輔以架怕疤，亦係佢嘅代表作。雖然林夕曾經話過押韻其實並非必要，只係因為要迎合主流見識至堅持押韻，但用韻會令首歌易記易上口，亦令文本朗讀之時有節奏美，都有合理之處。押韻毋須句句押，隔句押亦得，最重要都係睇旋律頭，但無計可施就求其採用「aa」韻，呢點大概就係師承黃偉文嘅結果。黃偉文所填嘅〈囍帖街〉同〈苦瓜〉雖然都係大熱，但取材新穎，都掩飾唔到其人押韻手法之不足——用助語詞押韻，畢竟係有啲技窮。反觀我個人相當中意嘅〈東京百貨〉，陳少琪喺副歌係用「iu」為韻，填咗照秒少調潮票，詞句曉暢而不落俗套，可謂熟能生巧，自出機杼。

再呼應返AGA首〈小問題〉，其實〈矛〉嘅故事都係不知所謂。空有冤氣對白，缺乏具體劇情，hook line勉強可以漁翁撤網，但副歌完全打動唔到人，此其第一問題。第二問題，就係愛情觀片面膚淺，從未細加探討愛情，更遑論明寫愛情，暗寫人生咁樣去傳道解惑，繼續流行曲社教化之功能。林夕寫情寫理天下無雙，黃偉文偏向市井，都算寫盡失戀苦戀，入心入肺；而周博賢專寫時事，針砭時弊，周耀輝別具詩情，寫歌寫出詩嘅朦朧美，基本上係各有特色，而陳詠謙嘅風格，大概就係攞你命三千式殺人於無形，一聽到就想飛歌轉台——我斗膽封陳詠謙為寫歌界嘅葉念琛，相信冇人會有異議。

7. 姐姐＋活著為求甚麼

李克勤自己都係識寫詞，點解會接受到呢首歌詞，我覺得重驚人過向曼聯送禮。「原來沒有你／但仍愛你／才後悔當天不肯留住你」雖然略嫌肉麻，但出現喺主流情歌其實真係一啲問題都冇。問題係，呢首歌所描述嘅係家傭，主人公對佢抱有嘅應該係感激之情，而唔係愛情，到底點樣至會牽掛到「朝馬尼拉的方向想起你」，視姐姐為「愛的傳奇」？唱到「忍痛／將你淡忘」，我直頭覺得李克勤情深過楊過，根本應該離婚休妻，另娶姐姐。

情節上，呢首歌都有犯駁之處。一般而言，如果僱主僱員關係良好，姐姐離職之後，雙方都會保持聯絡，好少音訊全無。而既然姐姐冇離開過香港，亦即係轉咗僱主，咁主人公又點解會炒佢魷魚？「誰料我路過砵甸乍街／竟找到你」呢種電光火石，好難講得通。我嘗試去消化故事，唯一可以諗到嘅就係主人公情不自禁，苦戀姐姐，家人發現之後執意驅逐姐姐，結果主人公只可以喺姐姐有可能出沒嘅街頭巷尾搜尋對方倩影，重溫舊夢。假如有朝一日李克勤真係轉行呢種路線，講婚姻背後辛酸，講自己同屋企姐姐打得火熱，或者大眾會受落都唔奇。

用字方面，呢首歌最差嘅係「天天飾演乖少艾」，其他都可以放過陳詠謙。話說少艾一詞，語出《孟子》一句「知好色則慕少艾」，解年輕貌美嘅女子都真係好有歷史。而現代人之所以認識少艾，相信都唔係因為讀古書，而係聽得多青春少艾呢個配搭。撇開姐姐點解會以少艾形容呢點唔講，艾本植物，少艾即以艾草正鮮比喻少女亭亭而立，可見少已經係形容緊艾，而乖少艾三字呢個組合，就即係用咗兩個形容詞去寫植物，而乖係唔會拎黎寫植物。即係我地可以話一個老人家老當益壯，如同長青樹，我地唔會話佢襟老長青樹，因為長青已經表達到健康，而且襟老都唔會係要黎形容樹。

順便講埋〈活〉。林夕珠玉在前，黃偉文都有首〈燕尾蝶〉勉強壓卷，陳詠謙挑戰社會議題，無異於引火自焚。「容顏暴露摺痕」所指嘅應該係個樣好老，皺紋暴露老態，又係要聽眾自己諗。「幾個悲哀章節日日重播／天降天災萬民地上縱火」，所指嘅應該都係天災人禍大家有責，但縱火狂徒為何人，又係語焉不詳，除咗令人諗到喜怨無常嘅舊約上帝，都真係冇乜idea。

8. 半祝福＋Gonna be alight

周殷廷其人已經不知所終，但由陳詠謙操刀嘅作品，將會遺臭百年。祝福舊愛，同類歌曲多不勝數，但希望情人「快樂得更明顯」，係咪即係指對方之前都係快樂，但快樂得較為收歛？若果快樂都可以有introvert同extrovert之分，而陳詠謙又真係寫得出，其實確實會好有啟發。副歌致命，在於突然加插槍擊，「如果他真的比我好／別再時時開槍亂掃」，again，敗壞意境。Verse2主人公心態慢慢轉變，講起對方已有新歡，其實都易明，但「你已毫無疑問找到安慰睡眠」呢句又係病句。找到應該係指向人或者物件，虛嘅找到人生方向都得，但睡眠係一種狀態，進入夢鄉可以，但搵睡眠出黎係講唔通。

上承周柏豪歌曲入面大量運用赤裸，陳詠謙又再無緣無故加插情色，好地地一首最後祝福，即刻變到俗不可耐。諗到對方會同新歡有性行為係可以理解，但以「隨便白天纏綿／夜晚裸露別來送我上苦路」白描，就係自亂佈局。〈半〉嘅基調係純情，周殷廷嘅定位亦非大講鹹濕，裸露二字亂入，格調之粗劣，真係不敢恭維。

〈G〉其實都係聽得過嘅歌，風格有啲似林奕匡首〈Good Man〉，但細聽之後又聽到副歌有句「甚麼東西正在變做美好的團體」，不知所云。Verse2有句「青春出於笑容裡／開滿花」，其實都解得通，但第二句「率真出於眼神裡／一句話」嘅嗰句話從何而來，又係毫無預兆，石頭爆出黎咁。好地地一個新人，唱咗首膠歌，然後就萬劫不復，真係不無惋惜。

9. P.S. I Love You＋壯舉

張敬軒係我本人極之欣賞嘅歌手，好彩佢人在英皇而非華納，未來唔似會再有同陳詠謙合作嘅可能。〈P〉其實算係不過不失，但因為林若寧同林夕寫過好歌畀張敬軒，而張敬軒自己早期作品都寫得青澀可愛，陳詠謙嘅歌就相形見絀。故事寫因戰禍而天人相隔其實好清楚，但主人公喺副歌嘅內心戲，可謂不明不白。「忘掉了生死／用愛跟這世界對比」，其實睇唔出邊個死咗抑或係一齊死，但既然係人生無常，話係不可以抱著你，會比「不需要抱著你」更加合理。然後「逾越了生死／當知這份愛從沒禁忌」又係全無鋪墊，因為首歌冇講過呢段感情係禁忌之戀，而為死去情人守節，亦唔係禁忌。「生死難忘／別忘記自己」，驟聽似係一種提醒，提醒自己要好好生活落去，但其實突然筆鋒一轉嘅呢個提醒，同「在雲中禱告／祝福你／繼續飛」係冇衝突，因為主人公由頭到尾都冇話過要殉情。

然後繼續睇Verse2﹐病句又至。「當一切／沒法逃過了劇震」，既然係逃唔過，點解又會用個了字？「誰在瓦礫中獻吻／講永別卻那麼接近」，卻前卻後轉折不清，卻字無法理解。「捉不緊的有太多／這一雙手在提示我／時辰到／人如初」，呢雙咁重要嘅手又係突然出現，極其量只可以話佢上接Verse 1之中「硝煙裡／讓我除去了面罩」嘅手，但有冇必要用雙手除，聽眾不妨存疑。快飛去結尾，「珍惜這份愛才是勝利」換成粵語，就應該係「珍惜呢份愛先係叫贏」，然而本身主人公未有誤解勝利定義，因此亦冇要糾正嘅地方，陳詠謙想用才是二字帶出乜嘢訊息，我都依然未悟到。

另外亦必須要討論〈壯〉，畢竟呢首可以話係陳詠謙眾多作品之中最言之有物嘅一首。我地都知道所有創作者喺寫自己最熟悉嘅題材往往係寫得最入肉，林夕寫苦戀寫到出神入化，黃偉文寫同志戀情別出心裁，都係因為有親身經歷，所以緣事而發，份外有感。意淫其實冇問題，樂而不淫，無傷大雅即可，而陳詠謙擅寫不顧後果嘅價值觀，就寫出咗吳雨霏嘅〈告白〉同陳奕迅嘅〈碌卡〉兩首佳作，係要欣賞。然而我地必須思考嘅係，一個填詞人只寫得好呢種缺乏深度同修養嘅歌詞，可唔可以稱為最佳填詞人。無可否認，黃霑林振強林夕等人確實係一下子將平均數扯得太高，令到後來者好難超越，但文從字順，詞有所指，應該係最低標準，如果連咁都做唔到，直接出demo派台instead of固守曲詞俱全嘅舊例，可能至係更佳出路。

10. 給兒子的信

唔少為陳詠謙平反嘅人都話呢首寫得好，以此作結，真係最好不過。一般人一定先入為主，覺得寫畀自己親生仔，點計係誠意之作，冇理由鳩寫，但陳詠謙不負眾望，又一次成功鳩寫，本色出演，繼續陳詠謙獨樹一幟嘅意思含糊，言不及義。「成年路太遠你學識怨命／所以任性／難受但我會繼續供應」，唔知佢供應啲乜，照計係愛，但真係讀者估，唔係作者寫；「若我有天跛了／你戴上我的眼睛」驟聽好有意境，其實唔知戴上父母嘅眼睛為乜——靠後生傳承自己人生經驗，唔使等老咗至做；代爸爸去環遊世界，亦冇理由用返爸爸對眼；陀住爸爸一對眼球出遊，反而顯現到少少心意，但又不切實際，背離常理，總之點講都唔通。

再睇「如果天地狠狠的將一切理想／破滅了」又係反面教材，大家千祈唔好有樣學樣。破滅，常用於理想或者幻想破滅，此中破滅非關外力，只可以係自體消亡，如果想話理想破滅係外力迫成，簡單可以用消滅用殺掉，靚啲可以用扼殺用磨蝕。雖然語言潮流時刻變動，我地唔可以一味泥古，但將某物破滅呢種寫法，如無意外，過多一百年應該都唔會獲得學界同世俗認受。用呢句病句做副歌第一句，有人話一聽就無名火起，呢種反應真係合理不過。

宏觀睇返成首歌，主人公到底抱持點樣嘅心態育兒，我亦甚為不解。佢有話「還是流我的血／你別忘掉」，提醒對方記得有自己嘅支持，亦有話「是我對不起你」同「可以恨我」，承認自己生仔出於自私，似乎有盡力善待同保護小朋友去盡力彌補之意，但再睇「我對你好／不須答謝我」，又主動提起自己嘅好，提起完又話「不須答謝我」，聽完只覺呢個爸爸暗啞底想要人知恩報恩，但又唔敢直講，扭擰造作。更加得意嘅係，呢個爸爸一直都流露無限愛意，又講到唔介意小朋友失敗，只求佢開開心心，但又忽然狠心咁話「註定某日我將拋棄你於荒野」，到底係因何而生嘅轉折？拋棄本身暗含主動之意，字面意思只可以解讀為主人公主動為之，但呢個爸爸愛心爆棚，應該係對親兒不捨不棄至係，點解會註定拋棄親兒？如果佢想講嘅係人世間自有規律，迫到父母不得不拋棄子女，咁就一定要講得清清楚楚，否則就好難呼應其後嗰句「你永遠有一種愛／從未缺少」。概而言之，呢封信真係好深奧，除非佢身體力行去抵制香港政府強制十二年義務教育，用自己一套中文去教仔，否則佢個小朋友未來都好難聽得明佢想表達啲乜。

總結

時間有限，每首只可以點評少少，但不知不覺，都寫咗六七個鐘。我試過填詞，知道填詞唔易，但自知之明，理應人皆有之。我相信大多數人都係不滿佢「我叻仔我可以肥」嘅招積，不滿蜀中無大將，而廖化竟自以為曹操。我個人偏好林夕，上文信手拈來例子大多以佢作品為主，希望大家體諒。最後衷心希望呢個寫得相當簡單嘅分析，算係勉強整理得到大家嘅見解，我知「殘忍只須一棍」同衛蘭都好恐怖，但考慮到其中問題同以上例子大體相似，在此不贅。辭多歉甚，如有補充賜正，歡迎切磋交流。

From Hong Kong to Kiev:
At the end of the storm,
there's a golden sky...
由香港到基輔：
暴雨過後 總有晴天

The inside story of how Jurgen Klopp
weathered the worst to lead Liverpool
into the Champions League final
究竟高普點樣帶住利物浦捱過風浪殺入歐聯決賽

By Melissa Reddy

"And now, we will go to Kiev. It sounds crazy, but it's true."
“我哋嚟緊就去基輔。聽起嚟痴撚線，但係真㗎。“

The downpours, pelting over Kowloon as though they were bullets from above, had finally subsided. For Liverpool, however, this was the inception of the storm.
嚟香港踢波先落狗屎，唔同連個天都唔鍾意我。但原來對利物浦嚟講，果日只係惡夢嘅開始。

Before the sun could fully crack through the scattered clouds that Friday morning in Hong Kong last July 21st, Jurgen Klopp’s phone screen was crowded with notifications from sporting director, Michael Edwards, and Fenway Sports Group president, Mike Gordon.
舊年7月21號，打鑼咁早，身在香港嘅高普部電話已經畀體育總監Michael Edwards同FSG總裁Mike Gordon嘅message震爆咗。

The news being broken to the manager - the club had instantly rejected a £72 million bid from Barcelona for Philippe Coutinho - was yesterday’s back-page buffet in the United Kingdom courtesy of the seven-hour time difference.
喺高普同隊波仲瞓緊覺果時，球會已經拒絕咗巴塞羅拿對古天奴7200萬鎊嘅開價。

Klopp’s designs for the pre-season tour had already been scaled back due to monsoon conditions that prompted cancelled training sessions and improvised workouts.
高普嘅季前熱身計劃本身已經畀香港嘅天氣打亂咗，原有嘅訓練只可以改為體能訓練。

It was this development, though, which had the potential to cyclone through their preparations for 2017-18.
但呢鑊就真係堅，隨時將成季嘅部署打亂晒。

Liverpool could not have been more unambiguous in their response to the offer: there would be no summer sale, regardless of how much the fee shot up.
利物浦嘅官方回應好堅定：無論幾多錢，今個夏天都唔會賣。

Undisguised, too, was the fact La Liga’s giants would return armed with a traditional media offensive that would pack more of a punch than their improved proposals.
而另一方面，更加肯定嘅係，呢支西甲班霸唔會就咁放棄，佢哋媒體喉舌嘅攻勢比起佢哋嘅叫價更加凌厲。

The only variable surrounded the focal point. What was Coutinho, who had signed a new five-year deal without a release clause that January, thinking?
唯一唔肯定嘅係，究竟啱啱喺1月簽咗5年約嘅古天奴點諗呢？

As Klopp entered the private assembly room for breakfast at the palatial Ritz-Carlton, the answer immediately presented itself. The 25-year-old, inner turmoil tinting his facial features, was on edge with “an instant difference in his body language,” according to observers.
當高普行入香港Ritz-Carlton酒店準備畀球隊食早餐果間房嘅時候，即刻明晒。古天奴嘅面部表情同身體語言都話畀大家知，佢心入面十五十六。

So this was a problem. Klopp walked over to Coutinho to schedule a talk for that evening, when they had an honest and respectful exchange.
呢個係一個問題。高普同古天奴講，約定傍晚攤牌講清楚。

Liverpool could not simply delete their plans for the season on account of Barcelona being unprepared for the loss of Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain, the Reds boss explained.
高普話，巴塞羅拿戇鳩鳩畀尼馬走咗去巴黎聖日耳門，唔代表利物浦就要跟住一齊柒㗎嘛。

It was a point he circled back to, while also emphasising that the timing was wrong, as was the message it would send about the club.
高普不停重複呢一點，佢仲提到， 呢刻賣人時機錯晒，而且外界會點樣睇利物浦呢？

Coutinho understood that, but highlighted the sacrifices his wife, Aine, and parents had made for his career. The future revolved around them as much as it did his own ambitions.
古天奴好明白，但佢提到佢老婆Aine同埋佢父母已經為佢嘅職業犧牲好多。諗將來嘅時候佢除咗考慮自己嘅目標，亦都要考慮屋企人。

He was happy at Liverpool, he loved the club, he was full of gratitude… But this was Barcelona. And beyond that, it represented a lifestyle change for his family, who could function within a culture so much closer to their own.
佢喺利物浦好開心。佢好鍾意隊波，亦都心存感激。但係，果隊係巴塞喎。除此之外，轉會仲代表生活上重大嘅轉變，搬去果邊嘅文化會更加適合佢屋企。

Klopp acknowledged Coutinho’s thought process, but repeated that it was about Liverpool and this was not the right thing for the club, for his teammates, or for their season ambitions.
高普好明白古天奴嘅思路，但佢再次強調，呢個係利物浦嘅問題，呢個對隊波唔係好事，對班波同對佢哋今季嘅大計都唔係好事。

The message was reinforced privately by Edwards and the ownership before a public declaration.
喺發出官方聲明之前，Edwards同老闆都分別私底下向古天奴重申呢幾點。

/“We wish to offer clarity as regards our position on a possible transfer of Philippe Coutinho,” read a statement on the club’s official website on August 11 2017, which highlighted their “definitive stance is that no offers for Philippe will be considered and he will remain a member of Liverpool FC when the summer window closes.”

“我們特此重申有關古天奴轉會一事之立場” 球會於2017年8月11日發出官方聲明“任何對古天奴的開價均不會被考慮，他於夏季轉會窗關閉時將繼續是利物浦的一員”/

Through the clinking glasses and guffaws, there is thick blend of relief and defiance daubing the atmosphere in the Freshfield area of Formby.
利物浦附近嘅一個小鎮 Formby 充斥住杯碟聲同埋歡笑聲。

It is Saturday, January 6 2018, where a long-scheduled New Year’s celebration for Liverpool’s staff at the Klopp residence has coincided with the £142m sale of Coutinho to Barcelona.
今年1月6號星期六，成班利物浦嘅職球員喺高普屋企開緊Party。無獨有偶，球會啱啱公佈古天奴將會以1億4200萬鎊身價加盟巴塞。

The news had been released shortly before the flow of Monkey 47 gin and a catalogue of German lager at the gathering, with the message following the announcement on the club’s official website entirely scripted by the manager.
呢個消息都係喺佢地呢個不醉無歸嘅聚會之前無耐公佈，而呢篇球會嘅官方聲明其實係出自高普手筆。

/“Players will come and players will go, that is football, but as a club we are big enough and strong enough to continue with our aggressive progression on the pitch, even when we lose an important player. We have never been in a better position in recent times, as a club, to react in the right way. We will use our size and strength to absorb moments like this and still move forward.”
“有出先有入，足球係咁㗎啦。但我哋作為一間球會，即使無咗一個重要嘅球員，都應該夠堅強喺球場上繼續拼搏。我哋而家處於近年嚟最好嘅時間去應對呢個轉變，我哋應該夠強大去適應然後繼續向前。”/

That night, as the spine of the football staff and their partners made his home their own, Klopp may as well have had the words inked on his appearance.
果晚，當球員帶埋佢地嘅另一半去到高普屋企嘅時候，大家都睇得出高普嘅心情寫晒喺塊面度。

The party, defined as “symbolic” and “powerful” had an element of toasting to Coutinho’s contribution at Liverpool, but at the same time, there was a sense of middle fingers flying in the direction of the doom decorating his departure.
有人事後形容果晚嘅派對好有象徵意義同力量。個Party其實亦都係為咗感謝古天奴對球隊嘅貢獻，但同時似乎大家都對佢嘅離開暗地裡媽聲四起。

Whatever followed, those present felt they were in this together. They believed in each other, in the roster, that the addition of Virgil van Dijk would make Liverpool stronger, that there was more than enough snarl as a collective to continue on an upward trajectory.
無論如何，出席嘅球員都感覺到大家喺同一條船。佢哋相信大家，而且相信雲迪克加盟之後隊波會更加強大，越踢越好。

That Klopp, above all, subscribed so religiously to this thinking translated into others sharing his conviction.
而高普就不斷將呢個信念向成班波洗腦。

Liverpool would not just be fine, Liverpool would be fucking flying.
利物浦唔只會掂，仲要係好撚掂。

Klopp was a portrait of confidence and composure, but the previous five months had been stressful for the former Borussia Dortmund trainer.
高普一直係自信同冷靜嘅化身。但過去5個月，呢位前多蒙特嘅領隊承受住好大壓力。

It went against his entire nature, heavily built around empathy, to see a player so sewn in distress. He treasured Coutinho professionally as well as personally and agonised over what the saga was doing to the Brazil international.
呢個同佢嘅天性相反。佢對古天奴受嘅巨大壓力充滿住同情，而且佢喺個人同足球層面都好欣賞古天奴，對於佢喺呢場轉會風波入面所受嘅折磨亦感同身受。

Klopp imagined what it was like for him at home. He was torn by the impact it was potentially having on his wife and young daughter.
高普曾經想像如果係佢自己，佢老婆同咁細個嘅女所受嘅影響，佢感到更加痛苦。

The manager knew how he'd feel if one of his own kids were going through that situation, or if his partner was being affected by it.
佢好明白如果係佢嘅仔女面對咁嘅情況，或者係佢老婆受到嘅影響會係幾咁大。

Part of Klopp’s weaponry is sagacity, drilling deep to appreciate what drives those that line up under him or work alongside him.
高普其中一個強項就係佢嘅睿智。佢識得深入了解幫佢做嘢嘅人，佢哋嘅動力來源係乜嘢。

That he knew Coutinho, who is quite sensitive and counts his family as his axis, was cheerless made him so too.
而佢知道，古天奴係一個多愁善感嘅人。佢嘅屋企人就係佢嘅世界，而呢點亦係點解佢咁唔開心。

The 50-year-old is often cast as the centrepiece, revelling in attention. He is charismatic, and so is more than comfortable getting on the dance floor or grabbing the mic to create a rhapsodic environment.
呢位50歲嘅教頭經常都成為大家嘅焦點。佢好有魅力，而且好擅長製造開心熱鬧嘅環境氣氛。

But those who know him best insist Klopp is happiest sitting off and shining the spotlight on the ones he cares about having a good time.
但熟悉佢嘅人會知道，其實佢最鍾意嘅係坐埋一邊，睇住佢珍重嘅人做返主角接受群眾嘅目光。

He loves witnessing the initiation tradition of a player singing a song in front of all his teammates.
佢好鍾意一個傳統，就係叫一個球員喺隊友面前唱歌。

He adores the environment the squad have carved between themselves and the way they have married the serious (a strict fine system) with the humorous - Dejan Lovren’s ‘gaffer’ social media undressing stands out after he revealed his Champions League half-time rallying call at Manchester City.
佢好喜歡球隊嘅氣氛，可以將嚴肅(嚴格嘅罰款制度)同幽默結合，例如路夫蘭就喺社交媒體同球迷分享佢喺對曼城果場波半場休息嘅時候做更衣室大佬嘅事。

Klopp can also spend hours on YouTube watching videos of joyous supporters and has noted multiple times this season that watching the crowd develop and truly connect with the team has been special.
高普亦都好鍾意上YouTube睇球迷嘅片。佢多次提到睇住球迷真正同球隊連結埋一齊嘅感覺好特別。

So to view the opposite - to see sadness plague Coutinho - was piercing.
相反，睇住古天奴所受嘅折磨，亦令高普無比痛苦。

As such, if the decision was solely Klopp’s to make, the No.10’s switch to Spain would have been sanctioned before the start of 2017-18.
正因為咁，如果畀高普話晒事，佢開季前就會將古天奴賣去西班牙。

Never thinking he is always right, and knowing what he personally felt was trivial when juxtaposed with the full picture, the German supported the reasoning of Edwards, Gordon and the ownership in general.
高普唔係一個覺得自覺永遠啱嘅人。佢知道自己嘅感覺都係好表面嘅，當佢將成個大局擺喺眼前，佢都同意Edwards，Gordon同老闆嘅諗法。

It did not make sense then, that when the only route available for Coutinho to secure an exit was to go antagonist, his camp targeted the manager in their press onslaught, which only hardened FSG’s stance.
離奇嘅係，當時古天奴一方要離隊嘅唯一可能性就只能夠擺爛個款，而佢哋嘅陣營竟然以高普作為攻擊對象，咁樣結果只係加強咗FSG唔賣嘅決心。

Klopp hid it well, but the falsehoods over his relationship with Liverpool’s “genius,” plus the player’s manufactured unhappiness at the club did hurt - especially as he continued to publicly fight his corner.
雖然高普無表現出嚟，但果啲關於佢同古天奴關係惡劣嘅流言同埋古天奴為球隊帶嚟嘅唔開心，的確係傷害咗高普，特別係高普仲要出嚟喺公眾面前辯護。

Coutinho’s performances post the saga, especially on the continent, may have been seen as a fait accompli, but to get him to feature in the Champions League at all was an achievement.
古天奴喺呢次事件後嘅表現，尤其喺歐聯賽場，有目共睹。但派佢喺歐聯出場呢件事本身就已經唔簡單。

When it became apparent there was absolutely no twisting of Liverpool’s arm, the threat of not representing the club in Europe was still strongly being advocated by his advisors.
當知道利物浦嘅立場非常堅定之後，古天奴嘅軍師就極力主張古天奴拒絕喺歐聯上陣。

Gordon and Edwards toiled to surgically remove that and Klopp began reintegrating Coutinho, a process made simpler by his protection of the wantaway star.
Gordon同Edwards好辛苦咁解決咗呢個問題，高普亦重新將古天奴擺返入球隊嘅戰術體制入面，而高普千方百計咁喺公眾面前保護古天奴亦都令呢件事更加容易。

Despite the heckling and suspicious inverted commas each time the ‘back injury’ that sidelined the midfielder in August was mentioned, Klopp never deviated from his line - even when the issue was “only emotional” according to Brazil’s doctor during an international break.
雖然8月嘅時候，古天奴因“背傷”的確惹嚟唔少懷疑，即使巴西軍醫都話佢嘅背傷只係情緒問題，但高普始終如一支持球員。

Squad harmony and ensuring there were no further hiccups to the start of the season was paramount for Klopp - he did not mind being the subject of ridicule, which drew mass respect from the dressing room.
球隊嘅和諧對高普嚟講最為重要。佢唔介意成為事情嘅主角，咁就可以令傳媒嘅焦點離開更衣室。

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…
Happy New Year!
新年快樂！

2018 had only just ticked in, but it entered with the same complexity and concern Liverpool had enjoyed a temporary break from.
2018年啱啱開始，同時標誌住呢個困擾住利物浦嘅問題喺短暫嘅休息之後又再出現。

Barcelona were not so much knocking on the door as they were smashing through it. Coutinho’s desire to leave had not diminished despite his excellence behind a supreme frontline and the club preparing for their first Champions League knockout fixture since 2009.
巴塞羅拿今次唔只係敲門，可以講係撞門。雖然古天奴上半季留喺利物浦表現出色，而球隊亦自2009年以嚟第一次打入歐聯淘汰賽，但佢離隊嘅慾望並無消失。

Liverpool did not want a repeat of the upheaval of the summer, but conversely, neither did they want to cede the Brazilian during such a positive juncture.
利物浦唔想重演上個夏天嘅劇情，但另一方面亦唔想喺呢個重要關頭失去古天奴。

Against the tide, they attempted to persuade him to stay until the end of the season on very lucrative terms - a deal now effective later. However, there was no budging from Barca’s end nor his: Coutinho had been on Merseyside for five years and he was adamant: it was time to say goodbye.
利物浦嘗試挽留古天奴，以先簽約後離隊嘅方式留到季尾。但無論巴塞定係古天奴都寸步不讓：佢已經喺度踢咗5年，佢非常堅決係時候離隊。

As the days ticked on and the eventuality of a sale became more pronounced, Gordon was hugely concerned that the uplifting tone around the club would morph into one of unrest. He was insistent that any abuse should be funnelled towards him and the ownership, shielding Klopp and the squad from toxicity.
當轉會勢在必行，Gordon非常擔心咁樣會為一切都穩步上揚嘅球隊帶嚟負面影響。佢堅持所有外界嘅責難都應該由佢同董事會承擔，高普同球員唔應該受到牽連。

Through this period, though, there was no calmer person at Melwood than the manager and there was no way he wouldn’t front up.
喺呢段期間，成個Melwood無人比高普更加冷靜，亦都無人可以阻止佢對住傳媒頂硬上。

Klopp demanded that everyone relax, that this was just a football transfer, and so they should treat it as such and nothing more.
高普要求所有球員保持放鬆，呢單只係普通嘅足球轉會，大家唔需要諗太多，

If Liverpool did not want any drama around it, then it was imperative that they did not create a spectacle themselves.
如果利物浦唔想事情繼續發酵，佢哋首先就要唔好自己製造新嘅話題。

It was a transaction, not a tombstone for the Reds’ season.
呢單只係一單普通嘅交易，隊波嘅球季仲未完嘅。

The most significant factor was how the squad would react to the development. The Magician was loved by his peers, but additionally, there had been an episode that played on Klopp’s mind.
最重要嘅係隊波點樣面對呢個轉變。隊友都好鍾意古天奴，而有件事喺高普心入面揮之不去。

One August afternoon, a desperate Coutinho approached the senior players’ committee and pencilled in a talk in one of the meeting rooms on Melwood’s ground tier.
早喺8月嘅時候，有一日古天奴喺Melwood一間會議室入面同球隊嘅“一隊球員委員會”開會。

He appealed to them to change the club’s mind, and while he knew the squad wanted him to stay, he also figured fellow professionals would recognise why he felt this was a ‘dream step’ that was critical to take.
佢希望球會可以改變決定。佢知道球隊希望佢留低，但佢亦深信隊友會明白佢為夢想而行嘅呢一步。

For all the chicanery that occurred during the summer window, it was the folding of his teammates into the fuss that most annoyed Klopp.
而最令高普擔憂嘅係其他隊友焦急嘅心情。

So when the deal was done and Coutinho was off, the manager rounded up the full group in the dressing room at the training complex and delivered an incisive address.
當轉會已成定局，高普召集所有球員，喺訓練場嘅更衣室向佢哋訓話。

The message was that they'd lost a great player and a friend, but it was no more than that. He told them to not give anyone on the outside a chance to say that Phil going has affected their season.
高普最主要嘅訊息係，佢哋係喪失咗一個好球員，但亦只係少咗一個好球員咁大把。最重要嘅係唔好畀外面嘅人有任何機會話古天奴嘅離開影響咗我哋嘅球季。

Klopp mentioned that the scrutiny would increase, but he didn't believe it would hamper Liverpool in a negative way. It was important for the team to believe the same, because if they allowed his exit to be an excuse, Liverpool were weak.
高普話佢相信出面嘅批評會越嚟越多，但佢唔覺得球隊會受到任何負面影響。隊波一定要有呢個信念，呢樣係好重要，否則如果球隊畀呢樣嘢成為藉口，咁利物浦就太軟弱。

He reminded his players they could decide whether people said their collective genius had walked out the door with Coutinho.
高普提醒球員，佢哋有能力話畀全世界知道，佢哋加埋嘅力量係咪都畀古天奴一個拎走晒。

/"This is us. On we go."
丟那媽 頂硬上/

Liverpool had anticipated a thunderstorm, and when the whistle for the interval went at the Etihad, they were relieved for the respite from Manchester City’s electric onslaught.
利物浦預咗場波會好難踢，而當半場嘅哨子聲響起嘅時候，佢哋即刻鬆一口氣，可以暫時忘記曼城喺主場瘋狂嘅攻勢。

The scoreline was only 1-0 to Pep Guardiola’s men on the night, and still 3-1 to the visitors on aggregate in the Champions League quarter-finals, but those first 45 minutes were punishing.
比數只係1-0，對於作客嘅利物浦嚟講兩回合計仲係領先緊3-1。但呢45分鐘嘅歐聯八強可以話係一種折磨。

Klopp’s half-time routine is consistent home and away. He speeds from the touchline to the dressing room, takes off his jacket and convenes with assistant coach Peter Krawietz, who has selected crucial in-match clips along with analysts Harrison Kingston and Mark Leyland.
高普每次嘅半場休息都係一樣，主場同作客都係。佢會由球場跑入更衣室，除咗件外套，集合埋已經剪好咗上半場精華嘅助教Peter Krawietz，同埋兩位分析員，Harrison Kingston 同 Mark Leyland。

The footage they slice is never usually of a goal being conceded or scored, but examples of how to avoid the former or ensure the latter by highlighting the positioning of the defensive line or where the best offensive spaces are.
佢哋揀嘅片通常都唔係重溫失波或者入波，而係講解防線嘅企位點樣防止失波，同埋點樣利用進攻嘅空位爭取入波。

At City, there was a deviation. Lovren had been shouting, telling the team to ‘wake up,’ that they weren’t showing enough belief and were allowing Kevin De Bruyne and co to do as they please.
而今次嚟到曼城，情況有啲唔同。路夫蘭大聲喝醒班隊友，話佢哋信心唔夠同埋畀迪布尼太多空位。

Klopp pounced on this as the perfect opening for his own message and so he broke away from his normal process, allowing the centre-back to speak for just under a minute before then commanding the room.
高普覺得呢個會係一個好好嘅開場白，所以佢畀咗大概1分鐘路夫蘭講佢要講嘅嘢。

He started by agreeing with the Croatian, before pointing at Lovren and Van Dijk, saying they were killing the team by being too deep.
之後輪到高普，佢首先同意路夫蘭嘅講法，然後就話路夫蘭同雲迪克逗得太深，令場波好難踢。

He then calmly got his crucial information over: get higher, condense the pitch and stop City playing the passes that feed their strengths.
然後佢好冷靜咁指示球員：逗前啲，企密啲，唔好畀曼城咁多空位做波。

In possession, relax, orientate yourselves better and speed it up. He pointed out spaces available to break City’s press, helping Liverpool retain the ball and thwart the hosts’ constant flow of attacks.
控球果時保持冷靜，轉身然後加速。善用進攻空位突破曼城嘅迫搶，亦都可以減慢曼城嘅進攻。

Klopp then highlighted Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s chance at the end of the first half as the memory that would be playing on loop in the home dressing room.
佢特別提到張伯倫臨完半場前嘅一次機會。

He stressed that City had just seen what Liverpool were capable of and it would be terrifying them as all it would've taken was one successful attack to scorch Guardiola's charges.
佢話呢球畀曼城睇到利物浦嘅實力，而佢哋先應該係驚果一隊，因為我哋一次成功嘅進攻佢哋就玩完。

There was an element of 'so what the fuck are we doing still sitting here?' as he ordered them to go out and get back on the front foot.
“咁仲坐喺度做乜鳩吖”高普就趕咗隊波出球場準備。

While City were engulfed by the emotion of the occasion with Guardiola getting sent off at half-time, Liverpool used the break to reorganise.
當曼城仍然因為哥迪奧拿半場被趕離場而激動，利物浦就借呢個時候重整旗鼓。

Klopp’s ability to cut through everything and communicate concisely was visible through the first passage of play in which his side strung five to six consecutive passes together.
高普講解戰術嘅能力可以由利物浦下半場第一個攻勢連續五六下靚傳就睇到。

It culminated in Mohamed Salah’s opener on 56 minutes that effectively ended the tie, after Gini Wijnaldum fed Oxlade-Chamberlain.
利物浦好快就得到回報。56分鐘，韋拿度姆傳畀張伯倫，最後由沙拿射入，賽事就基本上大局已定。

The England international dissected City to supply the Egyptian, who along with Sadio Mane had worked to isolate and unsettle Aymeric Laporte, Fernandinho and Nicolas Otamendi as per instruction.
張伯倫劏穿咗曼城嘅防線，畀沙拿配合文尼，根據高普嘅指示搞掂咗拿撲迪，費蘭甸奴同奧達文迪。

Klopp is forever examined through his magnetism, but not his methods. People see the cool as fuck figure with his unkept stubble in a hoody and trainers, but not the tactical nerd obsessed with preparation and details.
高普最吸引人嘅係佢嘅魅力而唔係佢嘅教波或者戰術。大家睇到嘅高普都係著住運動衫同埋有一頭混亂嘅短髮，同果啲執著於準備戰術部署嘅大師風格完全唔同。

The storyline is dictated by the hugs, fist pumps and rantings, but should be about the composed leader, who is able to read the room and never ducks a big call.
完場嘅一刻充滿住擁抱，碰拳同埋咆哮。但係唔能夠遺忘嘅係呢位永不退縮嘅領袖。

Liverpool need only a point to secure Champions League football heading into the final top-flight game of the season against Brighton? Ok then, he'll just pick four attackers.
利物浦只需要喺白禮頓身上拎到1分就足夠確保下季歐聯參賽資格？無問題，出四個前鋒囉。

There is a misconception too that Klopp’s management is punctuated by Hollywood moments, that ‘Any Given Sunday’ type zingers are delivered on a daily.
大家都有個誤會，就係喺高普嘅領導之下，呢啲本應喺荷李活先出現嘅誇張劇情好似每日都會上演。

To this point, Andy Robertson and Oxlade-Chamberlain are often asked “what did Klopp say to you when things weren’t going well at the start of your Liverpool career?”
就住呢點，羅拔臣同張伯倫都曾經分別被問到“高普喺你哋啱啱加盟，表現唔係咁好嘅時候，同你哋講過啲咩？”

There is no cinematographic answer as there were no elaborate meetings or ground-shifting discussions.
無任何驚喜嘅答案，因為根本就無任何特別嘅對話或者照肺。

He told them to continue as they were, put in the work, and the time would come, things would align.
高普只係叫佢哋繼續努力，時機會嚟到，所有嘢就會好順利。

Klopp believes there is no point ballooning something beyond what it actually is, and that often, the best decision to take is none at all.
高普覺得，有時一動不如一靜。

He figures having ‘the talk’ can be self-indulgent and self-serving at times. If there is no certain benefit to a player, what exactly is the point?
佢覺得有時呢啲所謂對話，即係照肺，根本幫唔到球員，晒氣。

And if there is no massive issue, with the criticism existing externally, why should Klopp feed the notion that there is a problem by formally addressing it?
如果根本就無乜問題，只係外界係度亂咁批評，咁何必太認真看待？

Take Mane for example, who was slightly off colour for a period, snatching a little too much and overthinking every action.
以文尼為例，佢有段時間的確係失色咗啲，獨食咗啲，有啲決定慢咗啲。

In general, though, the speedster was still a threat, still being decisive and still ensuring that the front three functioned exceptionally while adding to his defensive duties.
但整體嚟講，佢仍然係前場一個威脅，仍然係決定性嘅，加上佢喺防守嘅貢獻，確保三把尖刀可以各自發揮作用。

There was never a big sit down with the Senegal international, simply a brief sort of ‘What’s up? Stop beating yourself up about any mistakes, I am very happy with you.’
高普從來都無坐低同文尼傾過啲咩問題，最多都只係“喂，唔使咁躁，你踢得好吖我好滿意。”

Mane found his own way through his stifled spell, aided by a sprinkling of encouragement rather than a lengthy tactical dissection.
文尼最後都走出低潮，靠嘅只係少少嘅鼓勵，而唔需要長篇大論嘅戰術分析。

Klopp doesn’t hesitate to assume control when a situation demands it - see Mamadou Sakho as a reference - but he dictates when necessary, not out of ego nor as an act.
當然，如果有需要，高普會毫不猶豫手起刀落介入問題，沙高就係一個例子。但佢只會喺客觀情況有必要嘅時候先會咁，而絕對唔係自我中心。

October 8, 2015
2015年10月8號

At Hope Street Hotel in Liverpool’s city centre, those who would now work closely with the club’s new manager were offered insight into the character behind the established caricature.
喺利物浦市中心嘅希望街設計酒店(Hope Street Hotel)，一班而家同高普緊密合作嘅伙記當時就第一次見識到呢位領隊。

After Klopp signed a three-year deal worth an estimated £7m per season in the Sixth Boardroom, where Rafa Benitez had also ratified a contract with the club in 2004, he gathered the football staff for dinner.
高普同球會簽咗3年，每年值7百萬鎊嘅合約。佢簽約嘅地方同2004年賓尼迪斯同利物浦簽約嘅地方一樣。簽約之後，高普就約咗成班職員食晚飯。

Some expected a rousing speech from the German, others assumed it would be the introduction to Jurgen’s Law.
大家都預期高普會發表激勵嘅演說，或者先小人後君子講下自己帶波嘅規矩。

Instead, Klopp spoke very little, inviting everyone to tell him about themselves, their roles and how things worked at Liverpool - from training schedules to the matchday routine. He wanted to absorb as much information as possible.
但結果，高普無乜點講嘢。佢邀請所有人分別介紹自己，佢啲嘅崗位同職責，由訓練日程到比賽日嘅運作，佢都想知道多啲。

When it was time to talk through the media plan for his unveiling, Klopp was asked about his preferences when dealing with press. “No, no,” he responded, underlining that this was the communication team's field and they were the experts.
當講到應對媒體方面，高普話呢個係公關團隊嘅範疇同專業。

They had to tell him how it should be. They had to teach him.
佢會等佢哋指導佢點做。

One of the Stuttgart native’s gifts is trusting and turning to the people he works with, previously stating “I’m not a one-man show. I was never that in my life, and I never want to be that. The best lesson you can get in a day - to speak to smart people about things they know about much more about than you do.”
高普其中一樣天賦就係對人嘅信任。“我唔係單打獨鬥嘅人，我從來都唔係。每日最好嘅事就係同聰明嘅人傾計，聽佢哋講一啲佢哋比你叻好多嘅嘢。”

It is why when recruitment continuously pushed Salah to the forefront of the agenda for Liverpool’s incomings, Klopp co-signed their expertise.
咁就解釋咗點解當球探極力推薦沙拿嘅時候，高普毫不猶豫就投下信任一票。

He is across everything, but respects staff who take responsibility for their spheres of influence and are bold enough to settle on important decisions without informing him of each small detail.
高普好尊重所有同事喺佢哋自己嘅範疇工作，而且可以勇敢啲做決定，唔使事無大小都問准佢。

Klopp surrounds himself with strong personalities, and as such, perhaps that partly explains why his long-time assistant and friend, Zeljko Buvac, is expected to leave the club at the end of the season.
高普身邊有好多叻人一齊做嘢。或者正因為咁，佢嘅長期拍檔，Zeljko Buvac 預計將會係季尾離隊。

The Bosnian-Serb has been missing from the first-team fold since the end of April due to ‘personal reasons,’ and while no clarity has been offered on the situation, there is thought to be an element of discontent for Buvac over his standing in football.
呢位助教自從4月尾就因為私人理由缺席一隊嘅活動。外界盛傳其中一個原因係佢唔滿意自己喺對足球方面嘅意見唔夠被重視，而呢個傳聞亦一直無被正式澄清。

That his absence has not affected Liverpool behind the scenes is a nod to the strength of the individuals in the backroom team.
佢嘅缺席對利物浦影響似乎唔大正好證明球隊背後支援嘅團隊實力洪厚。

It is a strand that runs through the playing personnel as well, with proof in the non-upheaval following Coutinho’s winter departure.
呢點同球員喺古天奴離隊後嘅穩定表現有異曲同工之妙。

Just as the footballers have happily assumed more responsibility, so too have the coaching and support staff.
正如其他球員樂於承擔更多責任，職員亦都一樣。

“Incredibly healthy” has been a label used to describe the overall set-up at Melwood and when you consider the seamless adjustment of Van Dijk and Salah, it seems an accurate assessment.
有人形容Melwood 嘅分工安排係“非常健康”。當你睇到雲迪克同沙拿都可以咁快適應球隊，呢個講法似乎千真萬確。

Meanwhile, players that took a while to find their stride, like Robertson and Oxlade-Chamberlain, never felt walled off.
同時，一啲需要多啲時間適應嘅球員，例如羅拔臣同張伯倫，都無感到被遺忘。

Klopp empowered Henderson to cultivate the dressing room culture and the captain has promoted a togetherness many within the West Derby facility say they haven’t encountered before.
高普吩咐軒達臣負責更衣室裡面嘅氣氛同文化，而大家都認同呢位隊長為球隊帶嚟前所未有嘅團結。

The bond extends beyond the team to the non-football staff, who are part of the fabric of the place too. This is so much so, that even when players leave the fondness lingers.
呢股團結力量亦擴展至其他職員，甚至乎有啲球員離隊後仍然維持住對球隊嘅感情。

When Liverpool travelled to Rome for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final, Lucas Leiva sent back a surprise for popular canteen pairing Carol Farrell and Caroline Guest - signed Lazio shirts with a personal message for both.
當利物浦作客羅馬嘅時候，盧卡斯利華就準備咗拉素簽名波衫作為驚喜禮物送畀一對飯堂孖寶，Carol Farrel 同 Caroline Guest。

Meanwhile, it is in their domain - the dinning room - where Klopp and Edwards often strategise over breakfast or lunch beyond the more in-depth presentations on players. The duo, who both employ an open-door policy, enjoy an effortless relationship underpinned by mutual respect.
高普同Edwards經常都去到飯堂踩場，趁住食早餐或者午餐嘅時間，向球員做戰術指導。呢對飯堂孖寶都表示門常開，非常之歡迎大家。

And while the sporting director keeps a low profile as he prefers to do his job rather than talk about it, allowing him to make moves under the radar at times, Klopp appreciates that he is distinguished in his field and very decisive.
我哋嘅體育總監比較鍾意低調，不受注目，而高普就非常欣賞佢，喺佢嘅範疇十分之出色，亦好果斷。

The Reds boss is never shy to talk up the brilliance of the recruitment group, who are backed by a stellar research team run by Ian Graham.
高普亦毫不吝惜對由Ian Graham帶領嘅球探團隊嘅讚美。

And while Edwards is not the type to seek credit, Liverpool’s forward line - the most devastating in Europe this season - is largely his sketch.
雖然Edwards並唔鍾意領功，但其實利物浦而家嘅前場三叉戟，好大程度係佢嘅功勞。

Gordon assesses the dovetailing between the pair as a core canon for the club’s success. Klopp appreciates Edwards’ intelligence in assembling a team to effectively implement his aggressive blueprint, while the transfer chief is aware that signing a top player is purposeless without a top manager to extract every inch of their talent.
Gordon覺得兩人之間嘅合作係球會成功嘅重要武器。高普欣賞Edwards可以砌到隊波啱佢用，而呢位轉會話事人亦明白，幾好嘅球員都需要一個優秀嘅領隊先可以發揮所長。

The way the Reds have vaporised teams on the continent this season with their attacking venom has seen a spike in agents calling up to ascertain if there’d be any interest in their exciting clients.
利物浦今季令人聞風喪膽嘅表現令唔少經理人都蠢蠢欲動，想睇下利物浦對佢哋嘅球員有無興趣。

Liverpool are now the running train.
利物浦而家可以話係如日方中。

/'I could see myself here for the rest of my career'
我覺得自己淨低嘅職業生涯都會喺呢度。/

FSG were convinced, but how could they not have been? For nearly five years, he was the one: the ownership’s ideal manager, who remained just out of reach.
FSG都好有信心。等咗將近5年，佢就係管理層心儀嘅領隊人選。

In October 2015, however, he had finally become their one - Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp.
2015年10月，高普終於成為利物浦領隊。

But it was only on a three-year deal. He had never lived outside of Germany, let alone managed in a different country, and while there were no doubts over his status as The Perfect Fit on the club’s end, Klopp was mindful of the adaptation both he and his family would have to undertake.
但當時佢只係簽咗一份3年嘅合約。佢從來未試過喺德國以外居住，更加唔好講帶一隊德國以外嘅球隊。雖然球會對高普充滿信心，但佢就難免顧慮佢同屋企人適應嘅問題。

The contract represented a realistic scenario rather than a romantic one. During a relaxed conversation in June 2016, however, he remarked that he could imagine being at Liverpool for the rest of his managerial career to Gordon.
合約終歸係現實嘅。之後喺2016年，佢提到自己可能可以將淨低嘅執教生涯都放係利物浦。

That put in motion an instant process to lock Klopp in after a quick discussion with principle owner John Henry and chairman Tom Werner.
球隊即刻事不宜遲，同老闆John Henry同主席Tom Werner簡單討論之後，就立即著手準備留住高普。

Within a matter of hours, fresh terms had been thrashed out with the manager’s agent, Marc Kosicke, and a new six-year deal was agreed.
話咁快，新合約就預備好，喺高普經理人Marc Kosicke嘅協助下，高普簽咗一份6年嘅合約。

Klopp had been on holiday in Ibiza before ferrying over to Formentera, the smallest of Spain’s Balearic islands in the Mediterranean Sea.
當時，高普正喺西班牙伊維薩島(Ibiza)放緊大假，佢之後再飛到地中海嘅福門特拉島(Formentera)繼續行程。

And on June 16, as he celebrated his 49th birthday, he also toasted signing on until 2022, with the news only being announced at the start of pre-season the following month.
喺6月16號，當佢慶祝緊49歲生日嘅同時，佢亦正式簽約擔任利物浦領隊直至2022年，而呢個好消息一直等到臨開季先向外公佈。

/"When you have an individual of Jurgen's quality in the building it makes perfect sense to secure that person for the long term. To not do so would be irresponsible."
“當你有一個好似高普咁有能力嘅人帶領球隊，無理由唔同佢簽份長約，否則係對球隊不負責任”/

Long before Henry, Werner and Gordon had first met with Klopp on October 1 2015 at the New York law offices of Shearman & Sterling, they had done extensive homework on his credentials.
遠喺Henry，Werner同Gordon第一次同高普喺2015年10月1號喺紐約一間律師樓見面之前，佢哋已經對高普做咗好多功課。

It was obvious that he was charming and a unifying figure, but they sharply realised there was endless substance beyond the soundbites and mad-scientist smile.
好明顯高普係一個有魅力而有凝聚力嘅人物，但佢哋好快就發現高普嘅功力唔只咁簡單。

Liverpool had craved a recognisable identity and here was a bonafide architect; a man worshipped in Mainz and Dortmund for his remarkable design work.
利物浦有令人景仰嘅歷史同身分，而高普正正就係一個優秀嘅建築師，佢喺緬因斯同多蒙特嘅出色表現已經係好好嘅證明。

They spoke for hours at the high-rise building on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan, chewing over everything from playing style to reawakening the fan base and reconvened the following day for further talks.
佢哋果日傾咗好耐。由球隊踢法到球迷覺醒，佢哋甚至好傾到要約定第二日繼續傾。

Klopp had made one particular point with regularity: Liverpool should be a force in Europe. And they could be. He would work to get them back amongst Europe’s elite, and moreover, as being the kind of team no-one wanted to face in the Champions League.
高普提出咗一點：利物浦應該，而且可以喺歐洲有一席位。佢會令球隊重返歐洲前列，而且會令利物浦成為喺歐聯無人想對碰嘅隊伍。

In a matter of months after arriving in Liverpool, he had guided the club to the Europa League final eliminating Manchester United, Dortmund and Villarreal en route before falling short against Sevilla at the showpiece in Basel.
嚟到利物浦未夠1年，高普就帶領球隊先後淘汰曼聯，多蒙特同維拉利爾，殺入歐霸盃決賽，可惜喺巴塞爾輸咗畀西維爾。

In his first full season at the helm, Klopp’s side secured a fourth-place finish and a crack at Champions League football for only the second time in eight seasons.
喺佢嘅第一季英超，佢就成功殺入前四，拎到來季歐聯參賽資格。呢個只係利物浦近8年嚟第2次。

And having navigated a tricky qualifier against Hoffenheim last August to enter the group phase of the tournament, Liverpool are in now in its final and will be at the continent’s top table again next season.
而今季，先喺外圍賽淘汰賀芬咸，再經過分組賽，利物浦而家已經嚟到歐聯決賽，而且已經穩奪下年嘅歐聯參賽資格。

Whatever happens against Real Madrid in Kiev, Liverpool’s advancement is unarguable.
無論喺基輔對皇家馬德里嘅決賽結果係點，利物浦嘅進步都係有目共睹。

Rewinding to Hong Kong, that they have made it here - one objective boxed off, one well surpassed - through the disruption, the injuries and the sale of Coutinho mid-season, is masterful.
回帶重溫由香港開始嘅球季，經歷風風雨雨，古天奴離隊同埋傷兵滿營，最終前四目標達到，歐聯之路令人驚喜。

Liverpool have the opportunity to be the ultimate conquerers of Europe this season having already dispatched Porto, Manchester City and Roma, smashing scoring records en route to the NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium.
利物浦先後闖過波圖，曼城同羅馬，向住奧林匹克國家綜合體育場進發，有機會成為歐洲嘅盟主。

Most significantly though, there is a wealth of confidence within the club that this will not be a rarity, that spellbinding nights under Anfield’s lights will become a divine right again.
而最重要嘅係，球會上下充滿信心，今季嘅成績唔係偶然，以後仍然陸續有嚟。

They believe Liverpool will not just be fine, Liverpool will be fucking flying.
佢哋相信，利物浦唔單止會掂，仲會係好撚掂。
