If just watching the video of the accident horrified me, those at the concert who saw the screen plummet and hit the dancers must have been traumatized beyond words. If a band is a sensation it means the band causes a lot of excitement and interest. The 12 young members of Mirror are heartthrobs in Hong Kong. A heartthrob is a famous male, usually a singer or actor, who is attractive to women. The word “suspended” has several meanings but used this way it means hanging in mid-air with the use of ropes or cords. To plummet means to fall straight down very fast.
To be traumatized means to be shocked and upset for a long time because of an emotionally disturbing experience such as a death in the family or being involved in a serious car accident. If you are traumatized beyond words it means words cannot describe how traumatized you are. Mirror has a huge following in Hong Kong. Its concerts are always sold out. Fans are willing to pay a lot for tickets. Many fans were so traumatized they sought help from the Red Cross. Hong Kong should be proud of Mirror’s talent. I am an older person and prefer music from my generation but I really pray and hope Mo Lee will recover.

一如大多數香港人一樣,當我看到那爆紅的(sensation)粵語流行曲男子組合MIRROR舉行演唱會期間,一個大型屏幕墜下的影片,我非常震驚(horrified)。那四米乘四米、正播放演唱會情況的屏幕,擊中兩名舞蹈員,但未有擊中同樣在台上表演的兩名MIRROR成員。屏幕擊中一位舞蹈員,二十七歲的阿Mo李啟言的頭部,再擊中另一位舞蹈員。阿Mo情況危殆,可能導致頸部以下癱瘓。初步調查顯示,支撑那懸空(suspended)屏幕的其中一條鋼索斷裂。
若單單觀看意外的影片已令我十分震驚(horrified),那些在演唱會現場看着屏幕墮落(plummet)而擊中舞蹈員的人,必定心靈受創得難以形容(traumatized beyond words)。若一隊樂隊是個sensation,意即該樂隊引起轟動與廣大興趣。MIRROR十二名年輕成員是香港的 heartthrobs——a heartthrob就是萬人迷、女性迷戀的名人,通常是男歌手或演員。Suspended有好幾個意思,但在這裏是指用繩索或鋼纜懸掛於半空之中。To plummet即急速墜落。
To be traumatized是指因為一個令人情緒深受困擾的經歷,例如家人離世或遭遇嚴重車禍,而心理受創,長時間感到震驚與難過。若你是 traumatized beyond words,意即言語都不能表達你心理有多受創傷。MIRROR有許多追隨者,演唱會門票總是售罄。歌迷都願意用高價購買門票。許多歌迷心理受創(traumatized),尋求紅十字會的援助。香港應該以擁有MIRROR的才藝自豪。我屬於老一輩的人,比較喜歡我那一代的音樂,但我衷心祈求,希望阿Mo能康復。
