||||||||almost|||||||noon|12|12 o'clock|||||
Then, for those of you in Hong Kong, it's almost 12:00 noon on June 30th and 12:00 noon on Friday.
咁 今日 想 同 大家 講 嘅 話題 呢 , 係 關於 七 一回 歸 。
||want to|||||topic|||about||return|return to China
The topic I would like to talk to you today is about the handover on July 1, 2012
七月 一號 呢 , 對於 香港 嚟 講 , 係 一個 特別 嘅 日子 嚟 嘅 。
July|first||regarding|||||a|special|of|day|is|emphasis particle
July 1 is a special day for Hong Kong.
呢 個 七 一回 歸 紀念日 , 英文 就 叫 Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Establishment Day, 好長 呀 , 好 難 講 。
|||one||Anniversary|||||||Administrative|region|establishment||very long|||hard to|
This July 1st return anniversary is called Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Establishment Day in English, it's quite long and difficult to say.
好 , 咁 我哋 就 簡單 就 會 話 係 七 一回 歸 啦 , 或者 叫 回歸 紀念日 。
||||simply|||||||||||return|Anniversary
Okay, so we will simply say it's July 1st return or Return Anniversary.
逢親 係 一啲 值得 紀念 , to memorize, memorial, 咁 我哋 都 會 話 係 紀念日 , 回歸 , return, or give back。
memorial day|||worth|memorial|||memorial|||||||||return|||
Whenever there is something worth commemorating, to memorize, memorial, we will also say it is an anniversary, return, or give back.
咁 因為 呢 個 七月 一號 啦 , 就 係 紀念日 係 紀念 啲 乜嘢 呢 , 係 一 九 九 七 年 七月 一號 , 香港 就 回歸 中華人民共和國 。
So|||||first||||anniversary||commemoration||||||||||||||return|People's Republic of China
So, because this July 1st, it's the anniversary of what? It's July 1st, 1997, when Hong Kong returned to the People's Republic of China.
即係 本身 香港 係 英國 嘅 殖民地 啦 ,colony 殖民地 。
that is|itself|Hong Kong||United Kingdom||colony||colony|
That is to say, Hong Kong was originally a British colony.
咁 係 1997 年 嘅 七月 一號 啦 , 香港 呢 就 交還 返 俾 中國 大陸 啦 。
||||||||||return||to||Mainland China|
So, on July 1st, 1997, Hong Kong was handed back to mainland China.
咁 七月 一號 就 係 咁 嘅 日子 啦 , 係 呀 。
|||||||day|||
Then, July 1 is the day of the week, the day of the relationship.
咁 香港 人 係 咪 真係 好開心 呢 ?
|||||really|very happy|
Are Hong Kong people really happy?
點講 呢 ? 我 認識 嘅 朋友 就，嘅 香港 人 朋友， 就 冇 乜 特別 好 興奮 嘅 , 因為 七一 。
How to say|||know|that|friend|emphasizing|possessive particle|||friends||||special||excited|||July 1
What do you mean? My friends, my Hong Kong friends, are not particularly excited because of 1 July.
當然 都 會 有人 好開心 咁 慶祝 嘅 。
of course|||||like that|celebrate|
Of course, there will be people who are happy to celebrate.
但係 對於 好多 香港 人 嚟 講 呢 , 七一 係 , 我 只 可以 話 唔係 一個 咁 值得 去 慶祝 嘅 日子 囉。
|regarding|many|Hong Kong||to||this||||only||say|not||so|worth||celebrate||day|
But for many Hong Kong people, I can only say that July 1 is not a day worth celebrating.
not really a day for people to celebrate actually。。。
|||||people||celebrate|in fact
咁 眨 下 眼 呢 ,1997 年 距離 而家 2023 年 , 已經 係 26 年 呀，已經 係 二十 六 年 前 啦 ,1997, 時間 真 係 過得 好 快 。
|blink||eye|||distance|now||already|is||particle||||||ago|||really||passes||
In a blink of an eye, the year 1997 is 26 years away from the year 2023, which is already 26 years ago. 1997, time really flies.
咁 呢 二十 六 年 啦 , 當然 香港 就 有 好多 嘅 變化 啦 。
||||||of course|Hong Kong|then||||changes|
In these 26 years, there have been so many changes in Hong Kong.
咁 呢 以前 都 有 一個 講法 嘅 五十 年 不變 。
||in the past|||one|saying||fifty||unchanged
In the past, there was a saying that has remained unchanged for 50 years.
即係 話 Nothing will be changed in 50 years, 五十 年 不變 。
|means|Nothing|||changed||years|||unchanged
That means nothing will be changed in 50 years, unchanged for fifty years.
咁 當然 啦 , 有啲 咩 嘢 會 係 唔 變 嘅 。
|||||||||change|
Of course, there are some things that will not change.
香港 就 已經 變 咗 好多 。
||already|changed|has become|
Hong Kong has already changed a lot.
咁 我 今日 呢 , 就 都 想 同 大家 講下 ,
Then today, I would like to tell Members that
喺 香港 生活 有 啲 咩 好 嘅 嘢 呢 。
||living|||||to eat|things|
What are the good things about living in Hong Kong?
咁 當然 啦 , 每個 地方 都 有 好 嘅 地方 , 有 唔好 嘅 地方 。
|of course||every|place|||||||||
So of course, every place has its good and bad points.
每個 國家 , 每個 城市 呀， 都 有 佢 好 嘅 嘢 , 有 唔 好 嘅 嘢 。
|||city||||||||||||
Every country, every city, has its good things and its bad things.
咁 香港 都 有 好 嘅 嘢 嘅 。
Well, Hong Kong has good things.
雖然 好多 嘢 已經 唔同 咗 , 但係 呢 , 都 有 好 嘢 嘅 。
although|||already|different||||||||
Although many things have changed, there are still good things.
咁 我 就 寫 咗 幾 樣 出 嚟 啦 。
|||||a few|things|out||
So I wrote down a few things.
第一 呢 , 我 覺得 香港 真係 非常之 正 嘅 地方 。
||||||very|||
First of all, I think Hong Kong is a very good place.
就 係 香港 係 一個 美食 天堂 。
|||||food|heaven
Hong Kong is a food paradise.
一個 Food Paradise, 美食 天堂 。
||Food Paradise||
A food paradise, a culinary heaven.
真係 有 好多 唔同 種類 嘅 餐廳 啦 。
||||types||restaurants|
There really are many different kinds of restaurants.
咁 其實 價錢 比起 好多 歐美 嘅 國家 都 平 好多 啦 。
||price|compared to||Europe and America||||cheap||
So, the price is actually much cheaper than many European and American countries.
同埋 食物 嘅 質素 呀， 係 非常之 好 嘅 , 係 非常 好 嘅 食物 質素 。
|food||quality|||||||very|||food quality|quality
亦都 有 好多 選擇 , many choices，好多 唔同 種類 嘅 食物 可以 揀 。
also|||choices||choices|many||types||||choose from
There are also many choices, many types of food to choose from.
咁 我 就 覺得 呢， 喺 香港 食 真係 冇 得 輸 。
|||||||||not|way|lose
So I think that eating in Hong Kong really can't go wrong.
輸 係 Lose, 冇 得 輸 即係 話 Sure Win, 冇 得 輸 。
||Lose||||||sure win|win|||
Lose means lose, and can't go wrong means sure win, can't go wrong.
第二 呢 , 就 係 Shopping 買 嘢 。
second||||shopping||
Secondly, it's shopping.
咁 喺 香港 呢，買 嘢 Shopping 呢， 都 係 好 方便 , 同埋 都 比起 美國 、 加拿大 、 歐洲 呢，都 平 嘅 。
|||||||||||||||||Europe||||
In Hong Kong, shopping is very convenient, and compared to the United States, Canada, and Europe, it is also cheaper.
咁 香港 係 一個 購物 天堂 Shopping Paradise。
||||shopping|paradise||
Hong Kong is a shopping paradise.
購物 天堂 , 咁 我 都 覺得 而家 都 係 嘅 。
|||||think||||
Shopping paradise, then I feel that we are all in the same place.
好多 唔同 嘅 店舖 呀 、 商場 呀 咁樣 。
|||stores||shopping mall||
There are so many different stores and shopping malls.
第三 呢 , 我 覺得 香港 好 嘅 地方 呢 , 就 係 香港 有 山 , 又 有 海 , 又 有 城市 。
||||||||||||||||ocean|||city
Thirdly, I think one of the good things about Hong Kong is that it has mountains, the sea, and a city.
咁 因為 譬如 我 而家 住 嘅 猶他 呢 一度 呢 , 真係 要 搵 海 , 真係 好 難 。
|because|for example||now||that|Utah|||||need to|find|ocean|||
In Utah, where I currently live, it is really hard to find the sea.
但係 香港 呢 , 你 好 容易 可以 去 海灘 啦 , 或者 你 去 行山 呀 咁樣 。
|||||easy|can||beach|||||hiking||like that
But in Hong Kong, you can easily go to the beach or hike in the mountains.
咁 都 有 呢啲 郊外 呀 、 大自然 嘅 地方 。
||||outskirts||nature||
Then there are all those countryside and nature places.
咁 亦都 有 城市 啦 , 城市 你 去 唔係 太 遠 , 唔係 好 耐 車 , 或者 揸 車 , 或者 搭車 , 就 可以 去 上山 下海 呀 。
|||||||||||||long|drive|||||take a bus||||go up the mountain|go to the sea|
There are also cities, where you can go to the mountains and the sea without going too far, without being too hard to drive, or with a car, or by hitchhiking.
咁 其實 係 非常之 方便 。
|||very|convenient
In fact, it is very convenient.
咁 另外 呢 , 就 係 香港 呢 , 去 其他 地方 旅行 呢 , 係 好 方便 嘅 。
|by the way|||||||other places|places|traveling|||||
In addition, it is convenient to travel to Hong Kong and other places.
咁 因為 譬如 我 而家 住 喺 美國 呢 一度 呢 , 我 想 去 亞洲 旅行 啦 。
||for example|||||||||||||travel|
Then, because, for example, I lived in the United States at one time, I would like to travel to Asia.
咁 我 就要 搭 好 耐 飛機 呀 , 飛機票 好貴 。
|||take||for a long time|||airplane ticket|
Then I have to take a long flight, the air ticket is very expensive.
咁 譬如 想 去 日本 咁樣 。
||||Japan|
For example, if I want to go to Japan.
我 啱 檢查 下 啲 機票 啦 。
|just|check|for|some||
I just checked the flight tickets.
嘩 , 七月 中 去 日本 , 機票 差唔多 三千 蚊 美金 。
|July||||||three thousand|dollars|
Wow, going to Japan in mid-July, the tickets are almost three thousand US dollars.
跟住 要 搭 成 十八 個 鐘 呀 、 二十 個 鐘 呀 、 廿 幾個 鐘頭 呀 , 又 要 轉機 呀 咁樣 。
Next||take|to|18|hours|hours||||||||||||layover||
It takes 18 hours, 20 hours, 20-odd hours, and you have to change planes.
咁 如果 係 香港 呢 , 去 好多 東南亞 既 國家 啦 ,South East Asian countries。
|||||||Southeast Asia||||Southeast||Southeast Asian|
去 東南亞 嘅 國家 呀 , 去 日本 呀 , 嘩 , 真係 好 近 好 方便 喎 。
|||||||||||very close|||
Going to Southeast Asian countries, going to Japan, wow, it's really close and very convenient.
幾個 鐘頭 飛機 , 去 台灣 一個 鐘頭 , 去 日本 四五 個 鐘頭 。
|hours|flight||Taiwan||||Japan|four or five||hours
A few hours by plane, one hour to Taiwan, and four to five hours to Japan.
真係 去 旅行 係 好 方便 好 方便 。
||traveling|||||
Traveling is really very convenient and easy.
就算 係 香港 , 你 話 飛 去 英國 八 個 鐘 , 飛 加拿大 , 飛 遠 啲 呀 , 飛 美國 十 幾個 鐘 。
Even if|||||||||||flying|||further|a bit|question particle|to||ten something||
Even in Hong Kong, you can fly to the United Kingdom in eight minutes, and to Canada, you can fly to the United States in more than 10 minutes.
咁 都 係 有 直航 嘅 機 , 有 Direct flight, 周圍 都 去 邊度 都 好似 快 好多 。
||||direct flight|that|||direct|flight|around|||where||||
There are direct flights, so it seems to be much faster to go to the surrounding area.
咁 我 而家 係 美國 , 如果 我要 去 亞洲 呢 , 就 好 遠 呀 咁樣 。
so||now||the US||||||||||
除非 你 話 去 加拿大 旅行 啦 , 或者 係 去 美國 唔同 嘅 洲 , 去 唔同 嘅 States。
unless|you|say|||||or||||different|different|state||||states
咁 當然 OK 啦 , 但係 如果 由 美國 飛 去 亞洲 呢 , 就 好 遠 。
|of course|okay||but||from||||||then||
但係 香港 呢 , 去 旅行 真係 好 正 好 方便 。
|||||||great||
第五 樣 野 呢 , 我 寫低 咗 嘅 , 就係 香港 呀 , 睇 醫生 好 方便 呀 。
fifth point|type||||written down|||is|Hong Kong|emphasis particle|seeing|see doctor||convenient|
Fifthly, I have written it down, it is Hong Kong, it is very convenient to see a doctor.
See doctor, 睇 醫生 好 方便 。
|doctor||||
因為 香港 真係 好多 醫生 診所 ,
because|||||clinic
Because Hong Kong really has a lot of doctors' clinics,
係 條 街 度 呢 , 一條 街 可能 有 幾 間 嘅 Clinics, 幾 間 診所 。
|a|street|||a||might have||a few|several|possessive particle|clinics|||
On this street, there might be several clinics, several doctors' offices.
所以 有 啲 咩 唔 舒服 呢 , 我哋 要 見 醫生 呢 , 係 好 簡單 好 快捷 。
|||||discomfort||||see|||||simple||quick and easy
So if there's anything uncomfortable, we can see a doctor very easily and quickly.
咁 我 黎 咗 美國 幾年 , 其實 我 都 冇 睇 過 醫生 。
||to live|past tense marker||a few years|||also|have not||see|
I have been in the United States for several years, but I have never seen a doctor.
因為 我 都 唔知 畀 到 睇 醫生 , 同埋 睇 醫生 好貴 , 係 美國 。
because|||don't know||||||||||
I don't know how to get to a doctor, and it's very expensive in the US.
係 香港 呀 , 睇 醫生 , 相對 係 比較 平 啲 嘅 。
|||||relatively||relatively||a bit|emphasis particle
In Hong Kong, when you see a doctor, you will find that it is relatively more affordable.
即係 可以 負擔 到 啦。
||afford||
That is to say, they can afford it.
so we can afford it, 可以 負擔 到 。
|||can bear|||afford it|
係 囉 。咁, 如果 係 美國 唔舒服 呢 , 都 係 買 藥 呀 , 自己 去 嗰啲 pharmacy 嗰啲 藥房 買 藥 咁樣 。
|particle indicating affirmation|||||not feeling well|||||medicine||yourself||those|drugstore||pharmacy||medicine|like that
但係 如果 係 香港 呢 , 有啲 唔舒服 呢 , 就 落街 , 唔 睇 醫生 , 去 診所 。
||||||not feeling well||then|go out|||||
或者 去 醫院 呢 , 香港 嘅 醫院 , 醫療 呢 , 公共 醫院, public 醫院 , 都 係 平 嘅 。
||||||hospital|medical care||public||public hospital|||||
Or go to a hospital, hospitals in Hong Kong, medical treatment, public hospitals, public hospitals, all are equal.
係 呀, 都 係 我哋 平 , 我哋 話 大眾化 , 大家 都 可以 負擔得起 。
|||||affordable|||popularization||||affordable
Yes, it's all about us being affordable. We say it's popularized, and everyone can afford it.
People can afford it, then we can say 好 大眾化 嘅 價錢 。
|||||||||popularization||affordable price
If people can afford it, then we can say it's very popularized pricing.
價錢 好 大眾化, 咁樣 。
