前言：真的没想到陈冠希会用全英文做道歉陈述,虽然知道他是CBC(Canadian Born Chine
se),但英文水平还是让我佩服。他500多字的道歉信, 用词准确地道，词汇难度较高，包含
了50多个考研(雅思)核心词汇，经过改编完全可以成为一篇高质量的考研完形填空，或雅
思阅读理解。Edison这小子虽然\"猥琐\"，但英文用词的难度达到了考研英语（国内最变态
英语考试）的要求，如果参加雅思考试估计8分以上不成问题。
推荐理由: 超敬业的同声翻译, 不仅翻译准确及时, 而且激情投入感情充沛,让人感觉就
像是自己刚刚拍了艳照被人发现.

[书]with regard to关于= [口]about 哈哈哈，厉害！ 公关写的啦。他的公关比阿娇的好很多。 太强了 这个都去分析啊 哈哈 新东方可真会找教材啊， 相信学生对学这样的英语肯定非常有兴趣。 哈哈 只能说 新东方就是牛，其实新东方的老师才叫真正的敬业！！！！！
向他们致敬！！！ 佩服 佩服
高人 高人 西安晚报3月4日报道 有网友说，陈冠希和阿娇的不同回应态度，完全可以当作商学院的“公关危机处理方法”一科的正反面典型案例来使用。而陈冠希的那段全英文道歉陈述也成了英语学习爱好者的“教材”，因为这篇陈述稿从语法到词汇都真的很讲究，很像是一批不但精通英语，还对大众心理和舆论可能流向的方向了然在心的幕后人士撰写的。
最近，国内一家知名英语考试学习机构很应景地深度剖析了这段道歉陈述。发表人对这段陈述的总体评价是：“用词准确地道，词汇难度较高，包含了50多个考研和雅思核心词汇，经过改编后完全可以成为一篇高质量的考研完形填空，或雅思阅读理解。”
这个评价无疑很高，因为大家公认考研英语考试是“国内最变态的英语考试”，而雅思的阅读理解题目又一向刁钻。这个英语机构还对陈冠希本人做了评价：“这个小子虽然猥琐，但是英文用词的难度达到了考研英语的要求，如果参加雅思考试估计八分以上不成问题。”(可是要知道，陈冠希本人就是个加拿大土生土长的孩子啊，他有必要参加雅思吗？)
除了总体评价，这家机构还拿出了其一贯秉持的“在绝望中寻找希望”的精神，把这段陈述当作阅读材料分析，并逐字逐句地进行了“核心词汇解析”。如果你是个在考研旅程中上下求索的大四学生，如果你是在托福雅思路上摸爬滚打的出国梦持有者，或者哪怕你只是个普普通通的英语学习爱好者，这段非常有专业精神的解析也实在是你学习的好帮手，不得不看。

另据中新网3月4日电 “今天我们要来听陈冠希怎么‘say sorry’。”台湾辅仁大学英语听讲课以香港艺人陈冠希为“欲照事件”所发表的道歉声明作为上课内容。台湾东吴大学英文系也让学生练习翻译声明稿，搭上“冠希热潮”的教材让学生直呼：“太酷了！”
据台湾《联合报》报道，日前陈冠希在道歉记者会上，全程以英语发音的声明，口音标准、字句清楚，就曾引来网友调侃：讲得太好了，可以考虑当英语教材。
当辅仁大学英语听讲课老师一宣布上课内容，学生除了兴奋，还多了窃窃私语。修课的辅仁大学学生表示，知道要用陈冠希的道歉信来上课，“兴趣就来了。”不过学生也怀疑老师想顺便进行“道德劝说”。老师则澄清，选定教材纯粹针对语言，与照片事件无关。
老师表示，当初看完陈冠希道歉记者会，觉得声明稿的用词、文法约高中程度，学生容易理解，加上陈冠希“讲得很慢、诚意十足、口音又好”，是个很适合学习英语的教材。因此将内容录音，带到课堂上让学生练习听写。
东吴大学英文系也在翻译与习作课堂上，要求学生将声明进行汉译英，再共同讨论陈冠希如何用词。有些学生自创英文单字，把香港人“people in Hong Kong”翻成“Hong Kongnese”，引起爆笑。
东吴大学英文系学生说，声明稿用词正经，有些单词颇耐人寻味，很符合陈冠希目前“不太光荣”的立场。例如陈冠希想得到香港人的“谅解”，用的是做错事时低姿态的“forgiveness(原谅)”，而不是“understanding(理解)。” (本文来源：西安晚报 作者：迷宝) 看看。。。。。。。。。。 道歉内容成为其它学校的教材的这个新闻最初还是在上国贸英语课上老师告诉我们的，记得当时全课堂哗然，我实在是太固陋寡闻了，于是回去之后立刻就搜出来了，陈冠希的英文确实说得太顺溜了。 感謝分享~~
對於廣大的網友很有幫助~~
