#人肉錄音機≠ human recorder 😬
人肉錄音機 - 毛孟靜
//香港人有一個常用標籤，來批評官員說話重重複複 repeating and repeating：人肉錄音機。
英文可否就叫做 human recorder？ 恐怕不大對，因為聽起來不知道這個 recorder 是有關收音還是播放。英文比較對等的講法，是形容此人像一部破爛的錄音機，a broken gramophone。

*The official just keeps repeating himself. He simply speaks like a broken gramophone. 官員不斷重複講話，就像一部破爛的錄音機。

當然，gramophone 技術上並非一般所指的錄音機，而是舊式唱盤，又叫留聲機。會用這樣一個過時的字，該也就是要加重因為過時而令人不耐煩的意思。

若想把這句話「現代化」，可以改說 a scratched CD 刮花了的光碟。
*He was like a scratched CD, saying the same thing over and over again. 他像一張刮花了的光碟，不斷重複同一番話。
以上純粹針對說話內容，若要形容聲音速度，譬如說，有人開口似開機關槍，快得不得了，可以直接用上 machine gun，及 rapid-fire 火速。例：

*He spoke in his usual machine-gun manner. 他以他如常的機關槍式口脗說話。
Machine-gun 亦可以用作動詞：
*She was uptight and machine-gunned the story. 她緊張地把故事像機關槍掃射般說一遍。

也即是說，請人說話慢下來，不用急，可直接要求：
*Relax. Take your time. No need to machine-gun it. 放鬆，慢慢來，不用像掃機關槍般。
一樣是形容快速，rapid-fire 的緊張程度，比機關槍低一點。
*I was amused by their rapid-fire chattering. 聽他們急促地談天閒聊，我覺得饒有興味。
Rapid-fire 亦指火速而不斷的物事，包括「急口令」。
*The stand-up comedian did a brilliant rapid-fire delivery. 那名棟篤笑匠作了一場精彩的急口令式表演。
*It's impossible to answer such rapid-fire questions without due preparation. 若無事前好好準備，根本不可能回答如此（急促地）一個緊接一個、上氣不接下氣也似的問題。

如果只想平鋪直敘形容一個人說話太快，令聽者吃不消，可以這樣描述：
*He would speak so fast that you would barely have time to register each sentence before he moves on to the next one. 他說話速度之快，是你還未聽好上一句話，他已經開始了下一句了。//

【Joshua Wong speaking to the Italian Senate】#意大利國會研討會演說 —— 呼籲世界在大學保衛戰一週年後與香港人站在同一陣線

中文、意大利文演說全文：https://www.patreon.com/posts/44167118

感謝開創未來基金會（Fondazione Farefuturo）邀請，讓我透過視像方式在意大利國會裡舉辦的研討會發言，呼籲世界繼續關注香港，與香港人站在同一陣線。

意大利作為絕無僅有參與一帶一路發展的國家，理應對中共打壓有更全面的理解，如今正值大學保衛戰一週年，以致大搜捕的時刻，當打壓更為嚴峻，香港更需要世界與我們同行。

為了讓各地朋友也能更了解香港狀況，我已在Patreon發佈當天演說的中文、英文和意大利文發言稿，盼望在如此困難的時勢裡，繼續讓世界知道我們未曾心息的反抗意志。

【The Value of Freedom: Burning Questions for Hong Kongers】

Good morning. I have the privilege today to share some of my thoughts and reflections about freedom, after taking part in social activism for eight years in Hong Kong. A movement calling for the withdrawal of the extradition law starting from last year had escalated into a demand for democracy and freedom. This city used to be prestigious for being the world’s most liberal economy, but now the infamous authoritarian government took away our freedom to election, freedom of assembly, freedom of expression and ideas.

Sometimes, we cannot avoid questioning the cause we are fighting for, the value of freedom. Despite a rather bleak prospect, why do we have to continue in this struggle? Why do we have to cherish freedom? What can we do to safeguard freedom at home and stay alert to attacks on freedom? In answering these questions, I hope to walk through three episodes in the previous year.

Turning to 2020, protests are not seen as frequently as they used to be on the media lens, partly because of the pandemic, but more importantly for the authoritarian rule. While the world is busy fighting the pandemic, our government took advantage of the virus to exert a tighter grip over our freedom. Putting the emergency laws in place, public assemblies in Hong Kong were banned. Most recently, a rally to support press freedom organized by journalists was also forbidden. While many people may ask if it is the end of street activism, ahead of us in the fight for freedom is another battleground: the court and the prison.

Freedom Fighters in Courtrooms and in Jail

Part of the huge cost incurred in the fight for freedom and democracy in Hong Kong is the increasing judicial casualties. As of today, more than 10 thousand people have been arrested since the movement broke out, more than a hundred of them are already locked up in prison. Among the 2,300 protestors who are prosecuted, 700 of them may be sentenced up to ten years for rioting charges.

Putting these figures into context, I wish to tell you what life is like, as a youngster in today’s Hong Kong. I was humbled by a lot of younger protestors and students whose exceptional maturity are demonstrated in courtrooms and in prison. What is thought to be normal university life is completely out of the question because very likely the neighbour next door or the roommate who cooked you lunch today will be thrown to jail on the next.

I do prison visits a few times a month to talk to activists who are facing criminal charges or serving sentences for their involvement in the movement. It is not just a routine of my political work, but it becomes my life as an activist. Since the movement, prison visits has also become the daily lives of many families.

But it is always an unpleasant experience passing through the iron gates one after one to enter the visitors’ room, speaking to someone who is deprived of liberty, for a selflessly noble cause. As an activist serving three brief jail terms, I understand that the banality of the four walls is not the most difficult to endure in jail. What is more unbearable is the control of thought and ideas in every single part of our daily routine enforced by the prison system. It will diminish your ability to think critically and the worst of it will persuade you to give up on what you are fighting for, if you have not prepared it well. Three years ago when I wrote on the first page of prison letters, which later turned into a publication called the ‘Unfree Speech’, I was alarmed at the environment of the prison cell. Those letters were written in a state in which freedom was deprived of and in which censorship was obvious. It brings us to question ourselves: other than physical constraints like prison bars, what makes us continue in the fight for freedom and democracy?

Mutual Support to activists behind-the-scene

The support for this movement is undiminished over these 17 months. There are many beautiful parts in the movement that continue to revitalise the ways we contribute to this city, instead of making money on our own in the so-called global financial centre. In particular, it is the fraternity, the mutual assistance among protestors that I cherished the most.

As more protestors are arrested, people offer help and assistance wholeheartedly -- we sit in court hearings even if we don’t know each other, and do frequent prison visits and write letters to protesters in detention. In major festivals and holidays, people gathered outside the prison to chant slogans so that they won’t feel alone and disconnected. This is the most touching part to me for I also experienced life in jail.

The cohesion, the connection and bonding among protestors are the cornerstone to the movement. At the same time, these virtues gave so much empowerment to the mass public who might not be able to fight bravely in the escalating protests. These scenes are not able to be captured by cameras, but I’m sure it is some of the most important parts of Hong Kong’s movement that I hope the world will remember.

I believe this mutual support transcends nationality or territory because the value of freedom does not alter in different places. More recently, Twelve Hongkong activists, all involved in the movement last year, were kidnapped by China’s coastal guard when fleeing to Taiwan for political refugee in late-August. All of them are now detained secretly in China, with the youngest aged only 16. We suspect they are under torture during detention and we call for help on the international level, putting up #SAVE12 campaign on twitter. In fact, how surprising it is to see people all over the world standing with the dozen detained protestors for the same cause. I’m moved by activists in Italy, who barely knew these Hong Kong activists, even took part in a hunger strike last month calling for immediate release of them. This form of interconnectivity keeps us in spirit and to continue our struggle to freedom and democracy.

Understanding Value of freedom in the university battle
A year ago on this day, Hong Kong was embroiled in burning clashes as the police besieged the Polytechnic University. It was a day we will not forget and this wound is still bleeding in the hearts of many Hong Kongers. A journalist stationed in the university at that time once told me that being at the scene could only remind him of the Tiananmen Square Massacre 31 years ago in Beijing. There was basically no exit except going for the dangerous sewage drains.

That day, thousands of people, old or young, flocked to districts close to the university before dawn, trying to rescue protestors trapped inside the campus. The reinforcements faced grave danger too, for police raided every corner of the small streets and alleys, arresting a lot of them. Among the 800+ arrested on a single day, 213 people were charged with rioting. For sure these people know there will be repercussions. It is the conscience driving them to take to the streets regardless of the danger, the conscience that we should stand up to brutality and authoritarianism, and ultimately to fight for freedoms that are guaranteed in our constitution. As my dear friend, Brian Leung once said, ‘’Hong Kong Belongs to Everyone Who Shares Its Pain’’. I believe the value of freedom is exemplified through our compassion to whom we love, so much that we are willing to sacrifice the freedom of our own.

Defending freedom behind the bars

No doubt there is a terrible price to pay in standing up to the Beijing and Hong Kong government. But after serving a few brief jail sentences and facing the continuing threat of harassment, I learnt to cherish the freedom I have for now, and I shall devote every bit what I have to strive for the freedom of those who have been ruthlessly denied.

The three episodes I shared with you today -- the courtroom, visiting prisoners and the battle of university continue to remind me of the fact that the fight for freedom has not ended yet. In the coming months, I will be facing a maximum of 5 years in jail for unauthorized assembly and up to one ridiculous year for wearing a mask in protest. But prison bars would never stop me from activism and thinking critically.

I only wish that during my absence, you can continue to stand with the people of Hong Kong, by following closely to the development, no matter the ill-fated election, the large-scale arrest under National Security Law or the twelve activists in China. To defy the greatest human rights abusers is the essential way to restore democracy of our generation, and the generation following us.

Lyrics:

You don’t know how beautiful you look right now
You don’t know how beautiful you look right now
Standing on the beach in your white dress
I can barely speak, watching you and the sunset
You don’t know how beautiful you look right now

Yeah you don’t know
The way we work together’s so original
All these other people fight
That shit typical
But we don’t do no drama
That shit fictional

God damn

Style so Jackson Pollock, polka-dotted, you don’t need designer
Rock that pair of jeans like this the runway, you a supermodel
I tend to overthink
But you my medicine

Okay, you win
I’m tired of tryna fight this feeling
Cause it’s late, I’m in
Let’s go another round

You don’t know how beautiful you look right now
You don’t know how beautiful you look right now
Standing on the beach in your white dress
I can barely speak, watching you and the sunset
You don’t know how beautiful you look right now

Yeah you don’t know
The way you fit my heart is so symmetrical
Yeah I’ve been thinking lately, see us growing old
Now you know , now you know

Okay, you win
I’m tired of tryna fight this feeling
Cause it’s late, I’m in
Let’s go another round

You don’t know how beautiful you look right now
You don’t know how beautiful you look right now
Standing on the beach in your white dress
I can barely speak, watching you and the sunset
You don’t know how beautiful you look right now
