激動派英語 English with Heart

當今世上用英文最好同時又有靈魂的作家,大多來自母語非英語的國家。讓我們擺脫英語就是會考,就是商業英語的狹窄思維。帶著關懷香港的激情來學,來用英語吧!

May Hunghom Peninsula forever stand 願紅灣半島永存


西九龍計劃及拆卸好端端的紅灣半島,停了吧! 近日香港發生的事令我們看得更清楚如果政府與財團勾結,不但寶貴的土地給人終飽私囊,香港的重要文化社會發展也會跟隨財團的大計推進。這是我們想要想看到的嗎? 你說,我們怎能不激動?

Let's call it a day! The government has been cheek by jowl with the tycoons, not with the people. It is time the government laid all the cards on the table with us. We should have a say in how our precious land is used. Thanks to the effort made by people from the four cornors of the earth, the government at last reminds the tycoons it has the power to stop the redevelopment. But this is far from enough. Let's stand up for our rights and stop the government and the tycoons to cut the Gordian knot
in this isuue.

Let's call it a day夠了,停吧
Cheek by jowl關係緊密
Lay all the cards on the table一五一十說出真相
Have a say有話事權 / 表達權
Thanks to 歸功於 / 歸咎於
The four cornors of the earth來自五湖四海
Stand up for捍衛 / 支持
Cut the Gordian knot快刀斬亂麻
