明周專欄:粵語知音人
廣東話除了講也可以寫。當然,它的寫法是約定俗成的,並沒有規範化。很多粵語字寫法的來源,已經無從稽考。我從前對粵語書寫甚為無知,以為是由近世香港通俗文化衍生出來的。直至讀到了《粵謳》的曲詞,才驚訝地發現,原來在二百年前,也即是十九世紀初期,好些今天流行的粵語字便已經是這樣寫的了。
粵謳是清朝流行於廣東地區的一種民間歌曲,原來的歌者多為妓女,後來才演變成由盲眼的歌女(稱為師娘)獻唱。當時在廣州珠江沿岸花舫雲集,光顧者中有不少文人墨客。這些文人把妓女的粗俗唱曲加以改良,甚至親自填詞,於是便出現了既口語化但措詞文雅的粵謳。其中招子庸於道光八年(1828年)出版了《粵謳》一書,收錄曲詞一百二十一首,相信大部分是他自己所作,但亦不排除收入了其他人的作品。這當然不是說粵謳是招子庸首創。相反,此書的出版說明了粵謳當時已經是一種成熟而且廣泛流行的曲種,背後應該有一段更悠久的歷史。
招子庸是廣東南海橫沙人,少好書畫音樂,考取舉人,當過山東知縣。他寫的粵謳都是關於妓女迎送生涯,從女性的角度抒發歡場生活的辛酸。這個寫法大抵是粵謳的正宗,雖然題材有點單調狹窄,但畢竟是一方文化的結晶。單看曲名便已經極富粵語的地道韻味:《解心事》、《唔好死》、《真正攞命》、《容乜易》、《唔好發夢》、《生得咁俏》、《唔係乜靚》、《乜得咁瘦》、《真正惡做》、《愁到冇解》、《點算好》、《身只一箇》等。看看《花花世界》把妓女心聲寫得多麼入肉:
「花花世界嚊有乜相干,唉我何苦做埋咁多冤孽事幹。睇見眼前個的折墮,吤你話幾咁心寒。我想到處風流都是一樣,不若持齋念佛去把經看。呢回把情字一筆勾消,我亦唔敢亂想。消此孽賬,免至失身流落呢處賣笑村場。」
另一首《生得咁俏》又是那麼的生動:
「我生得咁俏,怕有鮮魚來上我釣。今朝拏在手重係咁尾搖搖。呢回釣竿收起都唔要,縱不是魚水和諧,都係命裡所招。我想大海茫茫魚亦不少,休要亂跳。鐵網都來了,總係一時唔上我釣啫,我就任得你海上逍遙。」
集中有一首《弔秋喜》,據說就是招子庸悼念他所愛的妓女秋喜之作,寫得極為哀傷動人,且富有個人色彩。
到了二十世紀初期,在省港兩地,甚至遠至南洋,報張上經常刊登粵謳創作。普通稍有文化的人,都懂得寫作粵謳,可見粵謳當時在廣東地區(包括香港)幾乎無人不識的盛況。可是,在一九二零年代之後粵謳開始式微。到了世紀中期,很多新一代廣東人已經不知粵謳為何物。與其他廣東民間曲種相比,粵劇的持續蓬勃就不用說,比較典雅的南音也保存了下來,連更為粗俗和即興的唱龍舟似乎也有較長的壽命,唯獨是粵謳最經不起現代化的考驗。
有說粵謳的節奏比南音還要慢,拉腔很多和很長,以現代的品味來說可能過於沉悶。早期粵謳的配樂主要是用琵琶,但後來卻演變成椰胡、洞簫和三絃,風格已經起了變化。後來更連唱法都失傳了。據中文大學音樂系的余少華教授所說,香港電台還存有一批五十年代的粵謳錄音。由中大中國音樂資料館出版的《絕世遺音》音樂專輯,收錄了師娘李銀嬌八十年代給香港商業電台節目所唱的《桃花扇》,應是粵謳的「絕唱」,也是坊間能聽到的少數粵謳錄音。
粵謳的最著名傳播者,是第十七任港督金文泰(Cecil Clementi)。金文泰的語言和文學天賦極佳,在牛津大學修西洋古典,擅長希臘文、拉丁文和梵文。一八九九年畢業後加入政府,獲派往香港,初期任職新界助理田土官。他到任一年內便學懂廣東話,通過廣東話考試,第二年還當上考官。他同時迷上了粵謳,並着手把招子庸的《粵謳》翻譯成英文,取名為《Cantonese Love-Songs》,一九零四年於英國牛津的Clarendon Press出版。他在序言中詳細介紹了粵謳的內容、音律和文詞特色,幾乎把粵謳的藝術性提升到西方經典詩歌的高度。金文泰晉升港督,則是一九二五年的事情了。
上面引的其中一段粵謳,金文泰是這樣譯的:
‘The World of Flowers’
Our world is of flowers, aye! of flowers. What matter’s it? / Ah! Why need I compass so many a sinful act? / When I see before my eyes those that are plunged in distress, how coldly, (think you) does it chill my heart!/ Methinks that wanton joy is everywhere all of one kind. / ‘Twere better to hold the fast with prayer to Buddha, and go read the Sutras. / So now with one pen-stroke I will blot out the word ‘passion’ : then my desires will no more be such rebels. / Let me ease my debt of sin/ Thus I shall avoid loss of chastity and shall not sink down to yonder Sell-Smile Village.
你可能會想:呢個嚟自殖民地宗主國嘅鬼佬,之所以會俾楚楚可憐嘅粵謳歌妓迷住,係因為佢心裏面充滿住白人優越嘅救世主心態。Anyway,點都好,佢始終係個粵語知音人。

【法政匯思就社會進一步動盪的聲明】
【Statement on Further Escalation of Social Unrest】(Scroll for English)
1. 近日,警隊的行為就如國際特赦組織所言越見低劣。[1] 這皆因政府漠視其專家提供的建議,並以歇斯底里、毫無章法可言的策略回應持續的動盪。
2. 五個月來,政府持續容許以下情況發生,對警政問題及根本的政治危機藥石亂投:
a. 阻礙救護人員前往現場拯救傷者;[2]
b. 偏頗地處理強姦或酷刑對待被拘留人士的指控;[3]
c. 肆無忌憚地濫用武力;[4]
d. 以諸多藉口為警察的失控或報復行為辯解。[5]
3. 法政匯思強烈譴責警隊濫用武力,及其本末倒置、往往為社區添煩添亂的驅散示威者行動。警方在十一月十一日於香港中文大學(「中大」)、香港理工大學及香港大學等驅散非法集結及/或堵路行為的行動,指稱的事實根據惹人非議。[6] 在撰寫此聲明之時,警方甚至以催淚彈及橡膠子彈回應中大校長的善意,與學生發生激烈衝突,造成最少60人受傷及多人被捕。[7]
4. 歸根究底,現有的制度未能公正地調查涉及警務人員的刑事指控,乃是警民衝突的源頭。樂觀地看,這可能只是個別調查人員的疏忽;悲觀地看,這反映一種互相包庇的文化,可能已由員佐級警員到警務處處長、保安局局長甚至特首,滲透警隊及政府上下。無論是哪一個情況,這種警察橫行無忌的觀感已經令公眾對負責調查大部分罪行的警察的信任蕩然無存。這個缺口一開,刑事司法制度剩下非常有限的能力,處理失職警員。
5. 法政匯思繼續呼籲香港政府成立獨立調查委員會,調查包括六月份以來政府的治安管理手段。除了將肇事者繩之於法外,更重要的是全面檢閱香港警隊以達至結構上的改革。至今,特區政府對於這個明顯又實際的選擇不屑一顧,堅持讓一個缺乏監察權力的獨立監察警方處理投訴委員會(「監警會」)[8] 去調查警察投訴及內部調查科。這正正就是問題根源所在。
6. 監警會委派的國際專家組就這個問題發表《進展報告》。國際專家組與政府持相反意見。他們批評監警會在結構上欠缺全面調查權力,對監警會這一個輕型、監管式的體制是否能夠做出決定性的貢獻表示懷疑,更指出下一步的可能性諸如「委派一個享有所需權力的獨立調查機構以作更深程度及更廣泛的調查」,意味著一個獨立調查委員會。[9]
7. 對於近數星期暴力頻頻,政府沒有採取任何行動,只是堅拒示威者的訴求(包括成立獨立調查委員會),更稱他們為「人民的敵人」。[10] 警員們多月來非人化地濫稱示威者為「曱甴」。[11]
8. 法政匯思絕對不認同法外制裁。此立場於七月二十五日之聲明已表明。然而,當體制構建不能保障市民應有的追索權,暴力兼「私了」必如落山流水跟著來,這已清晰可見。僅說無諾,何能「止暴制亂」?
法政匯思
2019年11月15日

1. Police conduct has seen, in the words of Amnesty International, ‘another shocking low’ [1] in recent days as the Government ignored constructive feedback by its own experts and hysterically responded to the ongoing unrest without any rational strategy.
2. In particular, these allegations point to a wanton failure on the part of the Government to properly approach policing and the underlying political crisis, now in its 5th month:
a. Obstructing rescuers and ambulances from accessing the injured; [2]
b. Unfair handling of allegations of rape and torture in custody; [3]
c. Unapologetic excesses in its use of force; [4] and
d. Evasive defence of police officers acting impulsively or in retaliation. [5]
3. The Progressive Lawyers Group (the ‘PLG’) vehemently condemns the Police regarding their excessive use of force and dispersal operations which often create the chaos sought to be quelled. On 11 November, the police conducted operations in, amongst others, the Chinese University of Hong Kong (‘CUHK’), the Polytechnic University of Hong Kong and the University of Hong Kong to disperse unlawful assemblies and/or obstruction of traffic, [6] the factual basis of which has been doubted by many. As at the drafting of this Statement, as riot police responded to an olive branch by the CUHK Vice-Chancellor with tear gas and rubber bullets, severe clashes between students and riot police at CUHK are ongoing with at least 60 injured and dozens arrested. [7]
4. Nonetheless, the crux of the problem remains in the institutional failure to investigate criminal allegations involving police officers impartially. At best, it could be an omission by individual police officers in their execution of duty. At worst, it could be a culture that acquiesces and conceals wrongdoings affecting grassroot constables, the Commissioner of Police, the Secretary for Security and the Chief Executive alike. Whichever the case may be, this perception of impunity breaches the trust and confidence the public reposes in the police who are tasked with investigating most offences. With this link broken, there remains very limited recourse in the criminal justice system against rogue officers.
5. The PLG continues to call on the Hong Kong Government to appoint a Commission of Inquiry regarding, amongst others, the current approach to policing social unrest since June. Bringing wrongdoers to justice aside, the more important task is a holistic review on the Police Force and a roadmap to structural reforms. So far, the Government brushed aside this obvious and pragmatic option, insisting upon an inquiry by the Independent Police Complaints Council (‘IPCC’) [8] whose (lack of) oversight over the Complaints Against Police Office (‘CAPO’) is the very issue at the heart of the current saga.
6. Curiously, the International Expert Panel of the IPCC appointed for advice on that very inquiry seems to hold a contrary view. In their Position Statement Report of Progress, the experts pointed out ‘structural limitations in the scope and powers of the IPCC Inquiry’ and noted that ‘it remains to be seen whether a light touch, oversight body like the IPCC, can make sufficient progress to produce any decisive contribution…’ It also identified a possible next step such as ‘a deeper more comprehensive inquiry in a number of respects by an independent body with requisite powers’, alluding to a Commission of Inquiry. [9]
7. In response to the extraordinary brutalities these few weeks, the Government did nothing but maintain that it will not yield to the protesters’ demands (including an independent Commission of Inquiry) and call them ‘enemies of the people’. [10] It has not helped that the police have for months been blatantly using such a dehumanising term as ‘cockroaches’ to refer to protesters [11].
8. The PLG stands by our Statement on 25 July 2019 and does not encourage citizens to take justice into their own hands. However, it is obvious by now that where the system fails to provide proper recourse, vigilantism and violence proclaiming self-defence arise as simple cause and effect. Without any real commitment by the Government to de-escalate and defuse the political crisis, verbal condemnation and physical crackdown will do nothing to ‘stop violence and curb disorder’.
