It's the problem with the proper definition of "indefinite", many people believe it means 無限期. The word 'definite' can be viewed as '有期限的', meaning there is a limit, you can exactly pinpoint the duration of the contract and its specific end time. Viewing it this way, 'indefinite' should be translated to '無期限的', an unknown length of time, if this was truly what he meant, then what he did say was 'leaving HK for an undefined period of time' instead of leaving infinitely
The contrast between Western and Asian culture is so apparent in this scandal. This is a man who took sexually explicit photographs with consenting adult women for personal viewing. He's done nothing legally wrong. Who hasn't sexted a partner at least once nowadays? The only reason this was such a scandal is because China is such a socially conservative culture. The women involved were all devastated and had their careers ruined because Chinese culture is still one that highly values female chastity. It is paramount. That's why this scandal was so explosive.
I don't know where you're from but his english is fine. In fact, it's pretty good for someone who didn't go to university. He actually uses metaphors and idioms to get his points across, which is more than I can say for a LOT of people I see at university. As for TobyLittleDude. Your name describes you perfectly as you seem to have no idea about you're saying. Watch some american celebrity interviews. The grammar and word choice isn't that much different. lol idiots just being haters.
to his defense, indefinitely doesn't mean forever. ex. PacMan Jones was suspended indefinitely after his 8 million arrests. Does that mean he was suspended forever? NO ... The media misunderstood the word.
Celebrities are models of fairy tales. They are human like us. Besides, some of them have a lot of dark secrets. You don't need any idols. Do your best. That's it. Anyway, just asian people know him.
What I learn from my hero Edison: Make the girl come to your house 2-3am in the morning for a drilling session, let her pay her own cab fare too, in fact, never ask to pay anything for her. Apparently, being douche makes you seductive and irresistible to girls, they keep on complaining but they won't let you go. LOL
There were very few bad boys in Asia but Edison didn't grow up in Asia, he grew up in NA which gives him a western mindset, he's not a manufactured pop star either. and those girls at the time were young they would like bad boys
Just becos Hong Kong people like to interpret English in a Chinese way. Another ex. is Yes/No. I bet most Hong Kong people don't know the exact meaning of Yes/No.
it's the fact that he took pictures of them and showing them in public, which damaged the women, who are very famous actresses in Hong Kong, so it really got out of hand when the pictures surfaced online and everything causing chaos
I rly dont understand why ppl think thts a big deal. I understand the fact tht he's a public figure but other than tht he just a normal person lik u & me. come on, dont tell me u dont do it.( i meant taking those sexual pics) He didnt want it to be shown in front of everyone.
they are private pictures that he put in his computer and they were never meant to be seen, but the person that fix his computer didnt follow the rules of a computer technician, i think this is all that person's fault and chinese people have a big thing towards sex scandal like for example zhang ziyi with her boyfriend on the beach pictures, chinese people mad a huge deal about it
Don't u try to interpret English in Chinese. u get it so wrong in many ways. No limitation in English means you can do anything u want, without limitation. "Forever" itself is actually a limitation to a person.
@samuelmiller78 I agree with you. I don't even know this guy as i'm from the states and have never heard of him. i watched him on 'the grude 2' and he seemed pretty cute so i wanted to know about him and i came across to this. From a very non-biased view, he is responsible for this. I think he's a true actor in that he acts as though he is sorry but has this connotation of, - 'but i'm so innocent, i didn't leak this'. Well guess what, he shouldn't have been taking the photos on the first place.
@shoot1100 disagree. Having sex with girl is pervert is nothing pervert. Photos taken are under both parties consent and in completely private environment. Young or not , celebrity or not its a private life that doesnt not supposed to be exposed to the public. Besides it was not him circulating the photos on internet. Look at the pose Gillian did on those photos, does that looks like she did unwillingly, with those erotic pose? and thats not pervert to your standard?
Maybe he doesnt do a lot of public talking, especially about something serious... cut him some slack will ya.. are u a celebrity? maybe they dont do that kind of stuff.. He really looks liek he doesnt want to be there, and he was so upset about this scandal :(
Edison, i'll support you. He is one of the victim. They (all those ladies) know what they were doing, i don't understand why they keep asking Edison to say sorry, i didn't see anything wrong between them? I-Cable TV, why you guys keep asking people "do you accept his apologize", he did nothing wrong to this world ... fxxk I-Cable
stupid guy.. initially i was thinking tt it should be about time for people to forgive him. He look so sincere in this interview, and also looked good when he appeared in those taiwanese variety shows. But soon after.. i've been reading so many negative news relating to him.. it seems that this guy here just wont realise his mistakes.
@beehappy37 TRUE STORY ! hahahahaha sometimes Asians overexaggerate on these issues. It's their private lives anyway, don't know why everyone's so hyped up about it.
That's is not choice in life for him the only career he can do only fliming, otherwise he will be forever unemployed....so he is trying to go back to HK the only chance for continue this career....can he? Depend on how many peoples would accept and forgive him....From the interview, I felt like he is a liar and bad person........
yea nothings wrong with sex the fact that today u can POST COMMENTs on youtube is because YOUR parents HAD sex. ^ someone proof me wrong? so u guys should get over this support e chen
What he did was a disgrace. He should stop being an actor/singer forever. It would be best he stop showing his face anywhere in the chinese/asian community. He doesnt have the quality to become an idol.
Mikey Dee I'm not a paparazzi. And my clients expect full privacy so i would never put something on the net like that. that would make me as bad as the dude who ruined edison. and i really don't care if you believe me or not. i know what happened and so do the artists.
i dunno why everyone keep blaming him but actually he did nothing wrong! the girls are willing to take those photos with him that time after the photos expose, the girls just act like innocence! EDC really been through a lot and he's so brave to get back to the front stage i respect him and still love his music and movie and always support him!
Everyone have their past and no one is perfect in the world. if they admit that they had did something wrong and correct from their mistake,why don't people give them a chance. And i believed that edison had become a better person now since he has exprience that in his life. So i will definitely support him!
I think the only thing that he did wrong was that he didn't keep his property securely and too dump to bring his laptop to the shop to fix. It wasn't a hidden camera, or anything like that, so stop blaming him as a pervert.
I'm a huge fan of Edison... As an actor... because I've seen him in a lot of films... I've heard he was a Cantopop artist.. But didn't really listen to any of his music... Perhaps I should..One day! :)

If that happened in America, he would be even more famous!
Bao Nguyen haha true
actually Edison shouldn't be receiving death threats or threats to cut off his hand, because he was a victim too.
I STILL LOVE HIM!!!!!! and always supporting him :)
One of my favorite actor of Hong Kong, including Daniel Wu and Louis Koo
Y’all are fucking sad
i am so jealous that his English is so damn well
That's because English is his first language.
感谢希哥，让我见识到了不一样的风景
完美演绎英文！有些人在外国住了一辈子也说不出这么流利的英文。
如果他是成龙的儿子，就不用暂时离开香港区了
男女发生关系本来就是你情我愿的事儿，没有一方强迫另一方拍的。再说了拍照片也是情侣间的情趣事儿，是两个人的私密事儿。陈冠希本身和他的众多女友本身都没错。混蛋的是那个发布照片于众的人，侵犯了别人的隐私，不懂得尊重别人。
对呀他到底做错什么了，不该修电脑吗，隐私又被侵犯，被迫退出娱乐圈蛮可惜的，人帅人气很高电影都蛮好看的。满鄙视道德绑架的. . . . 都过那么久了希望他能复出拍电影，那么多年过去都忘记了吧 . . .
香港是保守的地區
Boz M You meant hypocritical. Regions heavily influenced by confucianism all do .
fuck confucius
go go Edison! support you!
你是最當今最優秀的攝影師！
edison rocks forever!!
娱乐圈本来就很乱 不得不承认陈冠希的英文讲的真的很好
jim7195
應該比陳冠希的“林阿姨”好很多，哈哈哈
他之前不是稱林志玲為林阿姨嗎？
jim7195 英文是他母语好吧
你中文也不错
Great acting skill in Batman!

He is born and raised in Canada. English is his first language. I found that info on Wiki.
佢本來好大機會成為亞洲巨星。
陈老师太无辜了，拍照片都是你情我愿的事，再说也不是他故意泄露的
edison chan is a fucking legend!!
yeah, he is born in canada.
went to palmer
字幕翻譯存在漏洞，如在第三個問題處：it's just going to be like an overnight celebrity thing，竟然被翻譯成「不像一些名人一晚之類的事」。

YEEEEEEEE EDISON
She has a "british schoolmarm" tone to her voice; I felt like any moment she was going to smack Edison on the hand with a ruler.lol
說英語好蘇阿阿啊阿啊啊
and what are you talking about? his english is fine. it doesn't sound elementary..
終極騙子！不過感謝你，讓大家分享到好多女星裸照XD 冠希好棒！
wow.. ur so lucky U!
This cat is a BOSS, he'll continue to score pussies while ppl living in sleazy basements are hating
me too ~~~~
he didn't do anything wrong.
everyone should be responsible !!!
no one should be blame, except for the one who stole all the photoes.
Celebrities are models of fairy tales. They are human like us. Besides, some of them have a lot of dark secrets. You don't need any idols. Do your best. That's it. Anyway, just asian people know him.
If this thing is his fault, there wouldn't be bullet threats, it would just be an assassination. people have been pretty reasonable about it.

what kind of canadian pride does this kid have?
because he was born in Canada...
说英文真的太棒了~哈哈！
anyone care to notice it's British accent on America's CNN??
EDWIN LIKES THEM GURLLLL
Just becos Hong Kong people like to interpret English in a Chinese way.
Another ex. is Yes/No.
I bet most Hong Kong people don't know the exact meaning of Yes/No.
最大的感觉就是，英语真好
Zhao Sheng 他加拿大人⋯

應該是說：
『請問林志玲“英文”才是妳的“母語”嗎？』哈哈哈
fucking good spokenenglish
@那些对陈冠希有反感的人：敢问，有谁可以在小时候就可以和成龙等大牌每天碰面？
敢问，有谁可以在出道时候骂导演？
敢问，有谁可以不顾媒体直率的做人？敢问，谁可以有这么放荡不羁的好莱坞演技？
敢问，谁可以对NIKE总裁说我很忙，别在打给我？
敢问，谁可以把中国的潮流带到国际轨道上？
敢问，谁可以称自己为潮流教父？李晨？张震岳？潘伟柏？罗志祥？
不是，他们只是潮人，不是教父。
敢问，谁可以创造中国第一潮流品牌？
敢问，谁可以上那么多女星还可以拍照？恐怕，骂他的人也是嫉妒吧。
敢问，你们可以因为不懂中文而硬要写中文歌么？凭什么说EDC不爱国？
敢问，你们知道有多少国外大牌因为类似ZYM的事而大红大紫么？EDC完全可以去国外发展，为什么没去？因为爱国，你们能么？中央你凭什么封杀冠希？
敢问，中央你知道陈奕迅春晚穿的谁的衣服吗？CLOT，冠希的品牌。
敢问，你们能么？
敢问，你们能么？不能的话，别装成社会的正义使者来批评EDC，他比你们来的正直。
it's the fact that he took pictures of them and showing them in public, which damaged the women, who are very famous actresses in Hong Kong, so it really got out of hand when the pictures surfaced online and everything causing chaos
I rly dont understand why ppl think thts a big deal. I understand the fact tht he's a public figure but other than tht he just a normal person lik u & me. come on, dont tell me u dont do it.( i meant taking those sexual pics) He didnt want it to be shown in front of everyone.
其實這件事他沒有做錯~~! 他也不想這樣~~~
冠希老師為了色情事業，以身殉職，明知體力不支，還徹夜奮鬥，拿 著一台破舊的照相機和壞到不得不拿去修的電腦進行著自己的事業 ， 這種勤儉節約，毫不利己，專門利人的行為體現了一種什麼精神 ？那 就是毛主席語錄上說過的白求恩精神啊！堪稱華人世界乃至全 世界的 楷模啊！就憑這點，冠希哥，我頂你了。
they are private pictures that he put in his computer and they were never meant to be seen, but the person that fix his computer didnt follow the rules of a computer technician, i think this is all that person's fault and chinese people have a big thing towards sex scandal like for example zhang ziyi with her boyfriend on the beach pictures, chinese people mad a huge deal about it
Don't u try to interpret English in Chinese.
u get it so wrong in many ways.
No limitation in English means you can do anything u want, without limitation. "Forever" itself is actually a limitation to a person.
哇，这不是一代摄影大师，亲爱的陈冠希老师吗？
nice english, edison.

这个记者不太会问问题
完全是老外口音
he is cool with hell
Edison, i'll support you. He is one of the victim. They (all those ladies) know what they were doing, i don't understand why they keep asking Edison to say sorry, i didn't see anything wrong between them?

物動禽野什于一身人渣,人渣生人渣
He has done nothing wrong with the law.
However he sleep around with so many girls, he is just not a good person.
He has no shame.
佢應該拍4級片
he sounds like a white guy!!! In deep!!!
That's is not choice in life for him the only career he can do only fliming, otherwise he will be forever unemployed....so he is trying to go back to HK the only chance for continue this career....can he? Depend on how many peoples would accept and forgive him....From the interview, I felt like he is a liar and bad person........
yea nothings wrong with sex
the fact that today u can POST COMMENTs on youtube is because YOUR parents HAD sex.
^ someone proof me wrong?
so u guys should get over this

Leading singer and actor in HK? 可唔可以收皮? Wannabe 就有佢份...
玩文字游戏...不过我没看过200张.哈哈
Put it in god' s hand
造抵巨算啦...
What he did was a disgrace. He should stop being an actor/singer forever. It would be best he stop showing his face anywhere in the chinese/asian community. He doesnt have the quality to become an idol.
he's hideous.....
Daniel Wu is way much better... now that's a man..
這是什麼世界了？為什麼今天還有人在恐嚇。他拍照的都是雙方願意，也不是他爆的光。？？？
If you knew what goes on behind the scene in the US pop/rock industry it makes Edison look like a boy scout.
Seems like you know something happened there xD
***** VIDEOS OR IT DID'NT HAPPEN
Mikey Dee I'm not a paparazzi. And my clients expect full privacy so i would never put something on the net like that. that would make me as bad as the dude who ruined edison. and i really don't care if you believe me or not. i know what happened and so do the artists.
Kazu Iwa like i said i know too much. but it isn't hard to figure out what goes on behind the scenes... most clichés are based in real events..
判8年是那位電腦技術員應得的, 為了認叻, 而不理其他人感受, 發報別人的私人照片, 希望他知道自己的罪
八个月
What he does with his own life is his own. The ones should be ashamed and sued are the computer techs.
he's a fucking hero!!
He’s a fucking Douche Bag
i dunno why everyone keep blaming him but actually he did nothing wrong!
the girls are willing to take those photos with him that time
after the photos expose, the girls just act like innocence!
EDC really been through a lot and he's so brave to get back to the front stage
i respect him and still love his music and movie
and always support him!
他至少敢作敢当，不像现在的明星 一天虚伪的活着。不管好的坏的 做人就是要真实才是最屌的
其實edison 是一個很好的年青人, 從他的表現和說話中看得出他說話很有紋路, 我很欣賞他
dont see the big deal here.. sex between 2 consenting adults..
Everyone have their past and no one is perfect in the world. if they admit that they had did something wrong and correct from their mistake,why don't people give them a chance. And i believed that edison had become a better person now since he has exprience that in his life. So i will definitely support him!
I think the only thing that he did wrong was that he didn't keep his property securely and too dump to bring his laptop to the shop to fix. It wasn't a hidden camera, or anything like that, so stop blaming him as a pervert.
no, the thing he did is for sure huge scandal even in western culture as well.
I'm a huge fan of Edison... As an actor... because I've seen him in a lot of films... I've heard he was a Cantopop artist.. But didn't really listen to any of his music... Perhaps I should..One day! :)
I am your fan
His Canadian english is amazing.
Its like a native Canadian guy talking in frount of you.
传播照片的是帮他修电脑的人，这个人才是罪犯.陈冠希顶多是不道德，并没有触犯法律.在不触犯法律的前提下，每个人都有权利过道德或者不道德的生活.
"a leading actor and singer in hong kong"
"he also ran a "small" role in dark knight"
Always support EDC
Loves you.
When things gone, it's gone.
what does he have to be shame of ?
he is the victim
8 mos of jail time is nothing compared to the indelible pain he inflicted to those people involved.
你们有谁可以像EDC一样这么诚实？？等你比他潮和比他诚实的时候你在批评他吧，不然就别再嫉妒他了。
