  High-profile Public Memorial Reflects Central Government's High Regard and Inspires Hong Kong to Forge Ahead

  A public memorial for Mr Tung Chee-hwa was held yesterday at the Hong Kong Funeral Home. Entrusted by the Central Government, a number of state leaders attended the ceremony. Xinhua News Agency reported that Xi Jinping and other central leaders had expressed their deep grief over Mr Tung's passing in various forms and extended sincere condolences to his family. Xinhua also published a detailed account of his life, paying tribute to his achievements and contributions. The whole country mourned his passing alongside Hong Kong. Held at a level rarely seen in Hong Kong since its return to the motherland, the memorial was a solemn tribute to Mr Tung's lifelong patriotism and dedication. It also demonstrated the Central Government's enduring care for Hong Kong and the great importance it attaches to the cause of "One Country, Two Systems" . At the same time, it has given Hong Kong society renewed confidence and strength to build consensus, forge ahead together, and open a new chapter of prosperity and stability.

  Xinhua reported yesterday that the central authorities had closely followed Mr Tung's condition when he was critically ill. Xi Jinping and other central leaders instructed the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the HKSAR to convey their concern and regards, and demanded all-out efforts to treat him. Following Mr Tung's passing, Xi Jinping, Li Qiang, Zhao Leji, Wang Huning, Cai Qi, Ding Xuexiang, Li Xi, Han Zheng, Hu Jintao and others expressed their deep grief in various forms and extended sincere condolences to his family.

  Entrusted by the Central Government, Shi Taifeng, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice chairman of the CPPCC National Committee; Leung Chun-ying, vice chairman of the CPPCC National Committee; Wang Dongfeng, vice chairman and secretary-general of the CPPCC National Committee; Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macao Work Office of the CPC Central Committee and of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council; and John Lee Ka-chiu, chief executive of the HKSAR, attended the public memorial. Shi, chairman of Tung's funeral committee, delivered a eulogy at the ceremony. He looked back on Mr Tung's life as an outstanding contributor to "One Country, Two Systems", a renowned patriot, an outstanding social activist and a close friend of the Communist Party of China, and recalled his important contributions to the country, Hong Kong and society.

  From the high-profile public memorial held by the Central Government and the tributes paid by Party and state leaders, to Xinhua's detailed account of Mr Tung's life, achievements and historical contributions, the exceptional level of the arrangements and the high regard in which he was held fully reflected Mr Tung's special place in the country's overall development and in the history of the implementation of "One Country, Two Systems" in Hong Kong. Such exceptional recognition was an affirmation not only of Mr Tung himself, but also of those who remain committed to loving the country and Hong Kong, contribute to Hong Kong's prosperity and stability, and uphold the original aspiration of "One Country, Two Systems". It also reflected the Central Government's strong commitment to Hong Kong's development and to the cause of "One Country, Two Systems".

  Mr Tung was a pioneer in the implementation of "One Country, Two Systems" in Hong Kong. As the first chief executive of the HKSAR, he firmly implemented the principles of "One Country, Two Systems", "Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong" and a high degree of autonomy, while fully implementing the Basic Law. He undertook a great deal of pioneering work during his tenure. He responded calmly to the severe challenge posed by international speculators attacking the Hong Kong dollar. He attached great importance to strengthening exchanges and cooperation between Hong Kong and the Mainland and, with the support of the Central Government, signed the Mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA), injecting fresh impetus into Hong Kong's economic recovery and long-term development. He united and led different sectors of society in fighting the SARS epidemic and worked to stabilise the economy and people's livelihoods. With the interests and well-being of Hong Kong people at heart, he also   promoted a series of reforms for the benefit of the city. His commitment to and defence of "One Country, Two Systems" earned him widespread respect and recognition in Hong Kong, the Mainland and the international community.

  The high-profile public memorial for Mr Tung demonstrated the Central Government's firm determination to advance the cause of "One Country, Two Systems". Tested in practice, "One Country, Two Systems" is a great innovation that serves the national interest, reflects actual circumstances and benefits all Hong Kong and Macao residents. It is the best institutional arrangement for maintaining the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macao and promoting their long-term development. Remembering Mr Tung and paying tribute to his lifelong contributions means remaining true to the original aspiration of "One Country, Two Systems" and encouraging all sectors of society to move steadily forward along its correct path.

  The high-profile public memorial also carries a profound message for all sectors of Hong Kong society: to carry forward Mr Tung's aspirations and work together to break new ground. His was a life devoted to the country and Hong Kong, guided by a strong sense of principle and marked by selfless dedication. Through a lifetime of service, he showed that Hong Kong's future and destiny have always been closely tied to those of the country. Only by upholding the greater interests of the country and integrating into and contributing to national development can Hong Kong continue to move forward steadily and find renewed vitality. Looking back on Mr Tung's life and achievements therefore serves to carry forward the spirit of loving the country and Hong Kong, build a stronger consensus across Hong Kong society in pursuing development, and encourage all sectors to shoulder their responsibilities so that Hong Kong can better integrate into and contribute to national development.

  常用詞彙

  •eulogy(悼詞、頌詞n.)

  指喪禮或追思會上致的頌詞,正是原文「悼詞」的標準譯法(如 "Shi delivered a eulogy at the ceremony.")。

  動詞形式 eulogize 則指「致悼詞、頌揚」。

  •pioneer (開拓者、先驅n.;開創v.)

  原文「開拓者」正是 pioneer:"Mr Tung was a pioneer in the implementation of 'One Country, Two Systems'." 

  這個字在描述「某領域的第一人」時非常好用,比 founder 更強調「篳路藍縷、開創先河」的意味。

  寫作表達

  一、如何寫「貢獻與奉獻」(Contribution & Dedication)

  •make significant contributions to:為……作出重要貢獻,正式而穩妥,適用範圍廣。

  •contribution 是可數名詞,此處通常用複數 contributions;後面固定接 to + N / V-ing,如 make significant contributions to improving the community。

  •earn widespread respect and recognition:贏得廣泛尊重與肯定,強調憑自身表現「贏得」認可。

  •earn 比 get 更能表達「靠努力或成就獲得」,常用於人物描寫,如 Her dedication earned her widespread respect and recognition.

  •pay tribute to:向……致敬、肯定……的貢獻,語氣較正式。後面既可接人,也可接其成就或貢獻,如 pay tribute to his lifelong contributions to society。切記不要寫成 give tribute to。

  二、如何寫「推動發展與帶來改變」(Development & Positive Change)

  •inject fresh impetus into...:正式、書面,意為「為……注入新動力」,強調某項政策、措施或改變使原本的發展得到新的推動力。

  • impetus 意為「推動力、動力」,其中 inject fresh impetus into 帶有很形象的「注入」意味,尤其適合經濟、科技、教育、旅遊等發展類 DSE 題目。例如:The scheme could inject fresh impetus into the local tourism industry. 要注意不要受中文影響寫成 inject new power to...。

  •contribute to...:非常實用而且自然,表示「促進/有助於/為……作出貢獻」,中性,適用範圍廣。

  •後面可接名詞或 V-ing:contribute to + N / V-ing,例如contribute to reducing food waste。這裡的 to 是介詞,所以後面接動詞時必須用 -ing,不能寫 contribute to reduce pollution。這是 DSE 很常見的文法錯誤。

  三、如何寫「責任與承擔」(Responsibility & Commitment)

  •shoulder one's responsibility / responsibilities:表示「承擔責任」,常用於正式書面語。

  •shoulder 原本是名詞「肩膀」,作動詞時有「把重擔扛在肩上」的意思,因此特別適合責任、義務等抽象名詞。例如:Young people should be encouraged to shoulder greater responsibility for their communities. 不要寫成 shoulder up the responsibility,shoulder本身已經是動詞,不需要up。

  •remain committed to...:表示「始終致力於/堅持……」,重點不是單純「負責」,而是即使需要長期努力,仍然保持投入和承諾。

  •be committed to 中的 to 同樣是介詞,因此後面接 N / V-ing:remain committed to environmental protection / remain committed to improving students' well-being。相比 try hard to,這個表達更能體現一種長期而堅定的投入,非常適合 proposal、speech 和議論文。

  •devote oneself / one's time / one's life to...:表示「投身於/奉獻於……」,比 be committed to 更強調實際投入的時間和精力。

  四、如何寫「團結與共同目標」(Unity & Common Goals)

  •build consensus (on / around...):表示「凝聚/建立共識」,強調原本可能存在不同意見的人逐漸形成共同看法。

  •build consensus 強調形成共識的過程,reach a consensus 則較強調最後達成共識的結果。注意不要寫 everyone has the same consensus;consensus 本身已包含「共同意見」的意思。

  •unite people from different walks of life:表示「團結不同背景/各行各業的人」,比 bring people together稍正式,而且特別強調參與者背景多元。

  •walks of life 不應按字面理解成「生活方式」,它強調的是社會背景和人生處境的不同。

  •foster a sense of unity / belonging:表示「培養團結感/歸屬感」,重點從「一起做事」進一步轉向活動對人際關係和群體認同產生的影響。foster 常與正面的抽象名詞搭配,如Inter-house activities can foster a stronger sense of belonging among students. 它很適合DSE校園、社區及文化題。
