眾籌支付誹謗案相關費用
還原721襲擊真相
Crowdfunding Campaign for paying fees in the defamation case
Restore the truth of 721 Yuen Long Attack
2019年7月21日,相信不少人對當晚元朗所發生的事仍舊歷歷在目,亦改變了不少人的一生。我在當晚於手機、電視目擊住於元朗發生的一切,因而決定挺身而出,再次躺進這趟政治渾水,參與區議會選舉,為掃除建制惡勢力出一分力。然而,即使當上區議員,政治打壓令我們工作舉步為艱,我亦在近日收到昔日選舉對手的誹謗案入稟狀。
在此艱困的狀態下,我沒有退讓的空間,只能選擇迎難而上,將事實在法庭當中陳述。我會善用法庭審訊的機會,將有關721事件的真相在法庭審訊羅列出來,將其作為事實核證的一大平台。我亦會把握機會在傳召證人和盤問過程,將721事件的種種疑團,包括事前流傳的信息真確性、白衣暴徒的關係網、政商關係網絡於審訊中一一揭露,真相愈辯愈明。
作為獨立民主派,我並無任何組織支持,亦沒有昔日選舉對手的龐大財政資源。由於法律援助並不涵蓋誹謗案件,我需要一力承擔有關法律經費(包括聘請律師與大律師的費用、法庭相關費用等)。在面對沉重的財政壓力下,我需要向大家籌募訴訟的經費,以應付相關的開支,懇請大家能夠鼎力支持。我將會利用籌募到的款項,用作法律費用和眾籌平台開支之外,同時亦會聘請一名員工專責搜集721證據及重溫不同媒體片段,以助法庭審訊和其他721事件民間調查工作。
假如我最後獲賠訟費或有盈餘,我會將有關餘額和盈餘撥捐予抗爭者支援組織。
A lot of us still relive what happened in Yuen Long on July 21, 2019, as it changed the lives of countless. After witnessing what happened there that evening via live streams on my phone and television, I chose to step forward and, again, devote myself to the political orbit. I thus participated in the district council election and committed to the eradication of the pro-establishment evil forces in the legislature. However, political repression still exists in the district council and hurdles our work - I just received the summons of the defamation suit filed by my former opponent in the election.
My only way out in this time of adversity is to present the facts in court, where I can make use of the court trial as a fact verification platform to state the truth of July 21. I will also seize the opportunity in the process of subpoena and testimony to expose the qualms of July 21, including the authenticity of the information circulated beforehand, the network of the white-shirted thugs, and the complex business-government relationships.
As an independent democrat, I do not have any organizational support, nor do I have vast financial resources as my late opponent does. Besides, since the legal aid scheme does not cover defamation cases, I must pay the legal expenses, including the cost of hiring lawyers and barristers and court fees, on my own. In the face of tremendous financial pressure, I must plead for help by raising funds for litigation from you to meet the legal expenses. I will use the funds for the legal services required and hiring an agent to collect evidence and review media clips of July 21 to help court trials and other private investigations concerning the incident.
If there is a surplus in the final reimbursement of litigation costs, I will donate the remaining balance to the organisation or fund supporting activists.
眾籌目標:80萬
分配如下:
律師及大律師聘請費用:50萬
眾籌平台費用:約5萬
聘請1名員工跟進721檔案:25萬
我將會每3個月發佈財政報告,說明有關開支的使用情況。

那「白手套」呢?
White gloves? Not really...
The term "white-glove" is typically used as an adjective. It means providing a very high level of service, or involving a lot of care about small details:
白手套(white-glove)通常用作形容詞。表示提供非常高的服務水準,或與諸多照護細節有關:
➣The cruise company does not want to risk alienating the other passengers who don't get the white-glove treatment.
郵輪公司不想冒險讓其他未接受白手套待遇的乘客變得疏遠。
➣We know that when extra attention is required, our white-glove delivery service will not disappoint.
當您有特殊要求,我們的白手套配送服務一定不會讓您失望。
—Cambridge Dictionary
https://bit.ly/3hZTw0r
Wait…that doesn't fit our context!
★★★★★★★★★★★★
According to the South China Morning Post, the expression “white gloves,” when used as a noun, was coined in Taiwan!
“The innocuous-sounding euphemism ‘white gloves’ generally refers to a middleman or outfit that launders dirty or corrupt money under a seemingly legitimate front - dirty hands concealed by a pair of white gloves. The expression, coined by the Taiwanese, is catching up fast on the mainland as rampant corruption is exposed at all levels of the bureaucracy.”
9. coin (v.) 創造(新詞或新的表達方式);首次使用(某一詞語)
10. innocuous-sounding 聽起來無害的
11. launder (v.) 洗(贓款) ; money laundering 洗錢
12. legitimate front 合法的地帶; 僞裝(人或機構的)僞裝;假裝的樣子
13. conceal 隱藏
14. catch up 了解(或討論)最新情況
15. rampant 猖獗的;蔓延的
16. bureaucracy 官僚體制;官僚主義
據《南華早報》的報導,「白手套」作為名詞的用法,首見於臺灣!
「聽起來無害的委婉用語『白手套』通常是指中間人或公司,他們在看似合法的地帶清洗髒錢或賄款——髒手則藏於白手套當中。這種由臺灣人首創的表達方式,正在中國迅速傳開,因為猖獗的腐敗現象已於官僚體制的各個層面暴露出來。」
詳見《SCMP》:https://bit.ly/3i2cqUA
★★★★★★★★★★★★
我個人會用「middleman」或「go-between」。
請注意,「middleman」是指批貨後轉售他人者,或協助他人安排商業交易者。該詞本身並不具有任何犯罪或不法行為等負面意涵(negative connotations),亦須有上下文才足以呈現「白手套」的概念。
另一方面,「go-between」是在雙方無法見面或不想見面時,將消息從一人(或一個團隊)傳給另一人(或另一個團隊)的人。例如,聯合國代表將充當兩國領導人的中間人(或掮客)——「go-between」,而它的搭配你可以用「act/serve as a go-between」。「go-between」 的一個同義詞是「intermediary」。
❖再次提醒各位,若缺乏前後文,這些用語就不能完全代表「白手套」的涵義。底下我將舉出一些在腐敗情況中所使用的例子。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I. middleman
"Many of these middlemen stay on the right side of the law, offering advice and connections. But others cross the line. They grease the palms of officials and local managers, and they put a buffer between the payoff and the client, offering plausible deniability if the authorities catch on."
17. connections 社會關係;人際關係;可資利用的熟人
18. cross the line(行為)越過界線
19. grease (v.) 用油脂塗;給⋯⋯加潤滑油
20. buffer 緩衝物;起緩衝作用的人
21. payoff 賄款;遮口費
22. plausible deniability 合理推諉
「在這些中間人裡,有許多人站在法律這邊,提供建議與人脈。但其他人卻踰越了界線。他們成為官員與地方經理人的潤滑劑,並在賄款與委託人之間置入緩衝物,起到合理推諉的作用,以防當局上門。」
詳見《紐約時報》:https://nyti.ms/39MMwkM
★★★★★★★★★★★★
II. intermediary
"For China’s elite, a 'white glove' is an intermediary who launders your money; they handle the dirty deeds, while you keep your hands clean. 'White gloves' are often well-connected Westerners, such as former top politician Bo Xilai’s two European fixers, British businessman Neil Heywood and French architect Patrick Devillers. Using a BVI shell company, the two men helped Bo’s wife Gu Kalai buy a 7 million euro French mansion and rack up rental fees on it."
23. elite(社會)上層集團;掌權人物;出類拔萃的人;精英
24. deed(尤指很壞或很好的)事情;行為
25. well-connected 與顯貴人物有交情的;與有影響人士有來往的;很有背景的
26. fixer 籌謀者;安排者(尤指精於用不正當手段來操辦事情的人)
27. BVI (The British Virgin Islands) 英屬維京群島
28. shell company 空殼公司
29. fixer 安排者(尤指精於用不正當手段來操辦事情的人)
『對中國的權貴來說,「白手套」是幫你洗錢的中間人;他們負責處理骯髒的事,讓你的雙手保持乾淨。「白手套」通常是與權貴有交情的西方人士,例如前副國級領導人薄熙來的兩個歐洲籌謀者——英國商人海伍德以及法國建築師德維利耶。兩人藉由一家英屬維京群島的空殼公司,幫助薄的妻子谷開來買下一座價值700萬歐元的法式豪宅,並大大提高了租金。』
詳見《石英財經網》:https://bit.ly/30lFnEJ
★★★★★★★★★★★★
III. go-between
"The offence is similar to bribery with one important difference: trading in influence concerns the 'middleman', or the person that serves as the go-between the decision-maker and the party that seeks an improper advantage."
30. offence (US offense) 犯罪行為;罪行
31. bribery 賄賂
32. trade in influence 斡旋賄賂;影響力交易
33. serve(為⋯⋯)工作;(為⋯⋯)服務;盡職責
34. improper advantage 不當利益
『此一罪行與賄賂相似,但有一個重要的區別:斡旋賄賂係指「middleman」或人充當決策者與尋求不當利益方的中間人(掮客)——「go-between」』。

※ 引述《aaaaayrlee (甜美邂逅 ♂)》之銘言:
: The president of NFX Media Corporation is a ___ professional
: soccer player.
: 空格中答案是former
: 為什麼不能選previous 呢?
小弟想從formality, frequency, 以及speaker's attitude & perspective來切入:
previous與former均可指時間或次序上的之前(應當沒有空間的用法)
ex: previous/former experience/ marriage/ relationship/ page/ day/ year/ job/
wife/ boss/ president/ owner....
差別就在於,當你使用former時,你想表達較正式的感覺,或是你對於被修飾詞
的重視、尊重
所以你才會覺得我上面所舉的例子,有些配起來好像很順,有些有點怪怪的
但是怪怪並不代錯誤,只是使用上頻率較少罷了
(這就是collocation的其中一個面向阿!有些字比較多人習慣用較正式、
較重視的態度去看他們;有些則否)
另外,常常在談到職位、身份、或位置時,我們會比較傾向用former,一方面很可能
也是與說話者的態度、觀點有關
ex: the former president/ owner/ husband....
請各位參考指教^^
