Having said that, I feel that it's necessary for me to request that my nomination for best male artist be withdrawn and furthermore any awards or nominations for such awards that may arise in later years be presented to those who feel more comfortable with the competitive nature of these award ceremonies.
话虽如此,我感到有必要请求取消我最佳男艺术家的提名,并且未来可能的任何类似的奖项或提名,请颁给那些对颁奖典礼的竞争属性感到更为舒适的人^S#5|Vhxf(fBL
