Clipper 有快马之意。lieutenant-governor 字面意思是副总督，意译可以是省督。


Kwong may have been the only Asian in North American professional sports when he joined the Canadian Football League in 1948 at age 18.

CFL现共有9只球队，东边四只西部五只，每年东西部冠军决赛的胜者捧杯。CFL的9只球队包括：

In 1998, he was named a member of the Order of Canada.

Kwong, who lives in Calgary, said he's not sure whether he'll have to move to Edmonton, especially since the province has torn down the lieutenant-governor's official residence.
