原來有人示威，但是警務人員不熟悉如何使用那枝胡椒球發射器，所以一射便誤中副車，剛巧擊中了一名途人的眼睛，導致他死亡。
It turned out that there was a demonstration . But the police officers were not familiar with the operation of a PepperBall launcher . As a result a shot hit the wrong target and happened to land on the eye of a passer - by causing his death
而前線人員亦沒 有相關的訓練及守則，這亦令人聯想到香港的現況。
Frontline officers also did not have the relevant training and guidelines . We cannot help associating this with the current situation of Hong Kong
總括而言，其實就這一些裝備，根本沒有辦法令人信服，會有適當的監察及買回來後會適當地運用。
All in all the reply that these gears will be monitored in an appropriate manner and will be used in an appropriate manner after acquisition is basically unconvincing
網罪科在2015年1月成立，兩年間人手由180大增三成至238人。
CSTCB was established in January 2015 . In a period of two years its manpower has recorded an increase of 30 % with staff members substantially increased from 180 to 238
但是警方未能釋除疑慮，反而透過與警方的問答，顯示出其監控市民的活動，是未有受到適當的規範。
Instead the answers provided by the Police had indicated that appropriate regulation is absent in the Polices monitoring of activities of the general public
這令我相當之懷疑，因為市民面對着私隱有機會暴露於完全不受監控，或是不受規管的警方行動。
In view of this the relevant information will not be disclosed . This has given me doubts as members of the public are faced with risks in which their privacy can be exposed by police activities completely deficient of monitoring and regulation
而政府都是拒絕回應的。
But the Government has refused to respond
例如有許多網上人士，例如商台主持健吾都是被人恐嚇淋鏹水，陳巧文被人恐嚇，這些事件警方反而是沒有跟進的。
For instance incidents involving netizens such as the threat of throwing acid on Kengo IP a Commercial Radio programme host and the threat on Christina CHAN are not followed up by the Police
這些全部都是我希望提出的意見......以便未來市民會知道。
These are the views I wish to put forward so that members of the public will be aware of in future
《條例》亦是理由之一，可進一步解釋我為何認為不應該增加人手繼續打壓示威者。
The Ordinance also constitutes a reason which may further explain why I do not think the Police should increase its manpower to sustain its suppression of protesters
好景不常，在1997年主權移交後，並非由香港人選出的臨時立法會通過了很多"惡法"，其中一項是復辟《公安條例》。
But the good days did not last long . After the transfer of sovereignty in 1997 the Provisional Legislative Council which was not returned by Hong Kong people passed many draconian laws including the revival of the Ordinance
警方現時有很大權力，可以在沒有合理解釋下限制市民遊行，例如隨意設置示威區。
At present the Police enjoy much power and may restrict public protests without offering any reasonable explanation . One example is the designation of protest areas at will
在李克強和張德江訪港時，示威區的位置在主要示威對象看不到的遠處。
During the visits of LI Keqiang and ZHANG Dejiang to Hong Kong the protest areas were designated at remote locations which were beyond the eyesight of the main targets of protests
澳洲實行通知制度；德國的通知期只是2天，事前無須申請；芬蘭更可以在6小時前作出通知便可，亦無須申請；而南非和昆士蘭的情況相同，通知期是6小時，無須申請。
In Germany the notification period is merely two days and no prior application is required . In Finland it is even alright to give notification six hours beforehand and no application is required . The cases in South Africa and Queensland are the same in the sense that the notification period is six hours and no application is required
由申請制度復歸通知制度，正正是對示威遊行作為市民權利的一個制度上的重要改變。
The restoration of the application system from the notification system is precisely a major systemic change in peoples right of protest and demonstration
此外，由於這項撥款申請建議增設的608個新職位主要是為了處理大型事件，我實在不同意需要動用約兩三億元公帑來增加有關職位。
Besides since the proposed 608 new posts under this appropriation request mainly aim to deal with large - scale public events I honestly cannot agree to spend some 200 million or 300 million public money on creating the posts concerned
我無從得知，因為有關資訊不透明。
I do not know due to the lack of transparency in information disclosure
過去1年，接待張德江訪港共花費500萬元，惹來很多議員詬病。
The spending of totally 5 million on providing hospitalities to ZHANG Dejiang during his visit to Hong Kong last year has come under many Members criticism
過去數年，香港整體罪案率不斷下降，但警方的紀律人員卻在6年間上升了5%。
Over the past few years the overall crime rate in Hong Kong has kept decreasing . But the number of disciplined personnel in the Police has increased by 5 % over the past six years
在2016年，有4名台灣立法委員訪港被拒，當中有人更是我的朋友，他們不清楚政府基於甚麼理由拒絕他們入境。
In 2016 four members of Taiwans Legislative Yuan were declined entry to Hong Kong―some of them are even my friends―and they had no idea as to why the Government rejected their entry to Hong Kong
其實，有關結論不單在此委員會的年報中提出，很多跨國人權組織亦曾表達同樣的擔憂。
Many international human rights organizations have expressed similar concerns too
當北京政府試圖干預香港法律時，袁國強司長不單沒有為香港挺身而出，反而助紂為虐，不斷以法律手段為北京和梁振英達成他們的政治目的，把不合法和不合憲的手段，以及因而加諸下來的打壓，扭曲成為道理。
Secretary for Justice Rimsky YUEN did not come forward on behalf of Hong Kong when the Beijing Government sought to intervene in the laws of Hong Kong . On the contrary he even aided and abetted the evildoer by incessantly resorting to legal means to help Beijing and LEUNG Chun - ying further their political purposes and distort unlawful and unconstitutional means as well as suppression thus imposed to make them reasonable
第一，我想先談一談就總目92提出的修正案，削減大約相當於2017-2018年度現任律政司司長餘下3個月的薪酬開支。
Firstly I would like to say a few words about the proposed amendment to head 92 which seeks to reduce the estimated expenditure which is roughly equivalent to the payroll cost of the incumbent Secretary for Justice for his remaining three months of tenure
在銅鑼灣書店事件中，香港公民李波在香港被跨境拐帶，政府竟然相信李波在人身安全受威脅下，於中國電視台接受訪問時作出的自白，這確實相當可笑。
In the Causeway Bay Books incident LEE Po a Hong Kong citizen was abducted in Hong Kong and taken across the boundary . However the Government even believed in the confession made by him during a television interview in China when his personal safety was under threat . This is indeed quite laughable
既然袁司長指釋法不是由特區政府提請，即是他也認為沒有需要釋法，那麼他為何不向北京政府表達香港市民最強烈的反對呢？
Given that Secretary for Justice Rimsky YUEN pointed out that the interpretation was not sought by the Special Administrative Region Government meaning that he saw no need for an interpretation why did he not voice to the Beijing Government the strongest objection from Hong Kong people?
不受程序規限的權力，就可以任由掌權者濫用。
If power is not subject to any procedural limitation it can be abused by the person in charge indiscriminately
在過去數年，經過眾多影響香港法治、人權和自由的事件後，袁國強司長也沒有承擔起保衞香港法制的天職。
Despite the occurrence of a number of incidents affecting the rule of law human rights and freedoms in Hong Kong in the past couple of years Secretary for Justice Rimsky YUEN has still failed to perform his bounden duty of protecting Hong Kongs legal system
除了釋法及過去數年在法制上的爭議外，其實我們審視整個法制，最核心的問題，也是每任律政司司長均應該基於香港人的利益，以及香港的法制精神提出一個問題，就是當年中英就主權移交談判時，香港人根本沒有參與，導致之後的"一國兩制"和《基本法》賴以保障香港人的生活方式、人權和自由的框架，沒有以港人的利益為依歸來撰寫。
Besides the interpretation of the Basic Law and the disputes over the legal system over the past couple of years the core problem identified in examining the entire legal system is that the Secretary for Justice of every term should raise a question in the interest of the people of Hong Kong and the spirit of the legal system in Hong Kong in connection with the fact that Hong Kong people simply did not participate in the Sino - British negotiations over the handover of sovereignty . As a result the subsequent principle of one country two systems and the Basic Law―the framework for protecting the lifestyle human rights and freedom of Hong Kong people―were not written in the interest of Hong Kong people
大家都很清楚知道，鄧小平先生那時候說了一句話："在中英談判或香港的主權問題上，談判桌上並沒有'三腳櫈'"，因為香港人覺得"三腳櫈"就是中方、英方及香港人三方，一張椅子要3隻腳才行，只有兩隻腳又怎會站得穩妥呢？
We know very well that DENG Xiaoping once said to the effect that insofar as the Sino - British negotiations or the issue of sovereignty over Hong Kong is concerned the negotiation table does not come with a three - legged stool . It was because Hong Kong people thought that the three - legged stool represented the three parties namely China Britain and Hong Kong people and a stool must have three legs . They asked How could a two - legged stool stand firmly?
當年香港人曾提出這樣的訴求，現時很多民調亦顯示這樣的安排其實並不是香港當時的主流民意。
Although such a demand was made by the people of Hong Kong at that time many opinion polls conducted now show that such an arrangement did not actually represent the mainstream opinion in Hong Kong back then
所以，《基本法》明文列出很多香港與當時或現今大陸的制度完全不同之處，同時也開放了很多渠道讓北京政府直接干預香港的事務，釋法權就是其中一項。
Therefore the Basic Law expressly lists many stark contrasts between the Hong Kong systems and those of the Mainland at that time or at present . Meanwhile many channels are also opened up to allow the Beijing Government to intervene in Hong Kong affairs direct . The power of interpretation is one of them
如果"一國兩制"發揮有效的話，大家認為"一國"與"兩制"是平起平坐。
For the principle of one country two systems to work effectively we think that one country and two systems should enjoy an equal status
這個問題本身已持續了很長時間，律政司作出解釋，原來現時已逐步把經核證的法例上載資料庫。
This problem has already persisted for a very long period of time . According to the explanation given by DoJ copies of verified legislation are being uploaded onto the database in a progressive manner
因此，為了抗議，並希望律政司能夠盡快修復系統，我動議此項修正案。
Hence I will move this amendment in order to protest and express my hope that DoJ can restore the system expeditiously
我們以大陸的案例為例，我不知道代理主席有否看過"南京彭宇案"，案件關於一個老人家跌倒後，有路人想扶起她，該路人出於善心想幫助她，但老人家反過來控告他害自己跌倒，然後要他賠償數十萬元。
I am not sure if the Deputy President has heard of the PENG Yu case in Nanjing . It is case in which a passer - by named PENG Yu out of benevolence tried to help an elderly woman who fell on the street . Yet it turned out that the elderly woman eventually sued PENG Yu for causing her to fall down and demanded a compensation of several hundred thousand dollars
你看到假如制度不能保護人民，沒有民主和法治作為監察和權力制衡的機關，人想行善也很難，因為制度已經埋沒他的人性。
This demonstrated the difficulty of being a Samaritan in the absence of a system capable of protecting the people and a lack of democracy and rule of law as the institutions for monitoring and balancing the power . It is because the system itself has already buried the peoples humanity
造假的選舉不會得到真正的問責，權力不會得到真正的制衡。
A fake election will not bring about a true sense of responsibility nor will it bring us any real check and balance
這個選舉只不過是確保中共挑選出來的人能夠合法管治香港，但其實這合法性是假的。
Such an election merely purported to show that the candidate picked by the Communist Party of China would have legitimate authority to govern Hong Kong . However such an legitimacy is fake indeed
我們在未來當然要提升自給率或開源，甚至將它擴充。
In future of course we should improve the self - sufficiency rate or to tap new source or even expand it
我們可以預見未來有3個供水源頭和資源，包括東江水、本地集水和化淡水，而未來的方向必然是要減少購買東江水，從而提升本地集水和化淡水的比例。
We can foresee that we can have three water sources and resources in future . That include Dongjiang water rainfall from local catchments and desalinated water . The future direction should be reducing the purchase of Dongjiang water and increasing the proportion of collecting rainfall from local catchments and desalinated water
梁議員，香港水資源的爭議隨着東江水的問題受到大眾關注。
Mr LEUNG the controversy of water resources has attracted public attention in the wake of the Dongjiang water issue
我們每年有三成以上食水因政府的公共水管滲漏而浪費，推算政府損失了13億5,000萬元。
Every year we have wasted more than 30 % of water due to Governments water mains leakage . It is projected that the Government has lost 1.35 billion
事實上，目前8個灌溉水塘也位處於郊野公園保護範圍 之內，所以我們要保護郊野公園，保護自然生態，其實就是保護香港現在非常珍貴的水資源，兩者是相輔相成的。
In fact eight irrigation reservoirs are located in the protected realm of country parks . For that reason the fact that we protect our country parks the natural environment and ecology are actually tantamount to protecting the very precious water resources of Hong Kong . They simply complement each other
我很希望政府多多關注水資源保育的問題，令我們能夠做到"港人港水"。
I hope the Government will concern more about water resources conservation so that we can really achieve the target of Hong Kong people using Hong Kong water
"因此，當我們談及資源時，其實每個地球人都有責任保護公共資源，而香港的水資源是非常珍貴的。
For that reason when we talk about resources actually every person on earth should be duty - bound to conserve public resources and Hong Kongs water resources are very precious
剛才很多議員都說過，過去10年，供港東江水實際供水量均低於上限，而政府因為"統包總額"累計多付45億元公帑，這是大家非常關注的問題。
Just now a number of Members have said that over past decade the actual supply quantity of Dongjiang water to Hong Kong was lower than the supply ceiling and the extra public money that the Hong Kong Government had to pay had accumulated up to 4.5 billion because of the package deal lump sum charging mechanism . This is an issue the public concern very much
過去5年，梁振英歪理道盡。
In the past five years LEUNG Chun - ying has put forward all kinds of specious arguments
香港整體市民如何獲益？
How can the entire community of Hong Kong benefit?
我們面對的不是"港人治港"，而是"小人治港"。
Instead of Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong we are faced with the situation of A rogue administering Hong Kong
真小人治壞香港，是千真萬確的。
The administration of the shameless rogue has ruined Hong Kong and that is absolutely true
我希望各位議員，尤其是比較有良知的自由黨及比較中立的議員，支持這項議案，成立調查委員會彈劾"689"。
I hope that Honourable Members particularly Members of the Liberal Party with a conscience and Members who are rather neutral politically will support this motion to form an investigation committee to impeach 689
我希望梁議員明白我的原由，不要再打斷我。
Mr LEUNG I hope you can understand my rationale and will not interrupt me again
梁振英在任5年後，沒有人說他做得好，民意調查中他的民望是負淨值；市民把他當作過街老鼠，他落區巡視也會被人罵走。
After LEUNG Chun - ying has been in the position for five years no one has said that he performed well and he has negative net popularity ratings in public opinion polls . Members of the public regard LEUNG Chun - ying as vermin berated him and drove him away whenever he visited local districts
我們明白，假如本議案只有民主派議員支持，實在非常難以通過。
We understand that if this motion is only supported by pro - democracy Members it can hardly be passed
民主建港協進聯盟主席李慧琼議員說我們掀起倒梁鬥爭。
Ms Starry LEE Chairperson of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong said that we were waging a political struggle against LEUNG
機場理應是香港最安全的地方。
The Hong Kong International Airport should be the safest place in Hong Kong
由建制派指控泛民議員打壓異己，真的非常可笑，令我哭笑不得。
It is really very laughable for a pro - establishment Member to accuse the pan - democrats of suppressing their opponent and I am really caught between laughter and tears
經過一連串政治打壓後，天道彰顯，報應返回梁振英身上。
After a series of political suppressions justice was manifested out of heavenly will and misfortune rightly happened to LEUNG Chun - ying
的確，截至2009年年底，從事葡萄酒相關業務的僱員人數高達4萬名，比2007年增加5,000人，就業增幅相當於1,000個全職職位，其中60%是前線員工。
It is true that the number of employees in wine - related businesses reached 40 000 as at the end of 2009 an increase of 5 000 from 2007 translating into an employment gain of 1 000 full - time jobs 60 % of which were frontline employees
但是，當這100億元葡萄酒進口時，1元的稅項都不需要支付，這究竟是否符合公義呢？
However is levying of not even one dollar of tax on a wine import of 10 billion consistent with the principle of justice?
這的確值得大家深思。
This merits our deep thought
今次的《條例草案》是為飛機租賃商提供利得稅稅率減半的安排，以及兩折稅基優惠，以推動香港成為飛機租賃中心。
The Bill provides for a reduction of the profits tax rate by half and a tax concession at 20 % of the tax base for aircraft leasing operators in a bid to develop Hong Kong into an aircraft leasing hub
以往政府十分喜歡用稅務寬減措施來推動一些新興行業，例如2008年取消紅酒稅、2016年提供適用於合資格企業財資中心的利得稅寬減稅率等。
As in the past the Government is very fond of using tax concession to promote emerging industries . Examples are the abolition of the red wine duty in 2008 and the granting of concessionary profits tax rate for qualifying corporate treasury centres CTCs in 2016
有關安排一個很大的誘因就是配合大陸的航空業發展。
One strong reason for the arrangement is to tie in with the aviation industry development on the Mainland
從這些數據可以看到，香港似乎背靠中國大陸，政府預測發展飛機租賃行業前景很樂觀。
As we can see from these figures it appears that with Mainland China as its hinterland Hong Kong is expecting promising prospects in the development of the aircraft leasing industry
今天我們討論《2017年稅務條例草案》，主要是透過減稅來推動飛機租賃產業。
The Inland Revenue Amendment No . 2 Bill 2017 the Bill under discussion today mainly seeks to promote the aircraft leasing industry through tax reduction
事實上，2014年年底，李嘉誠旗下的長江實業就宣布，斥資20億元購入60架飛機。
Actually at the end of 2014 LI Ka - shings Cheung Kong Holdings announced the purchase of 60 aircraft for 2 billion
今年3月初，新創建與同系的周大福亦成立合營企業，進駐飛機租賃市場。
In early March this year NWS Holdings and Chow Tai Fook both under the same umbrella formed a joint venture to enter the aircraft leasing market
但是，今次這項《條例草案》單純給予飛機租賃商的利得稅寬減，以發展有關業務，成效其實令人質疑。
However the effectiveness of the Bill is open to doubt as it seeks to promote the development of aircraft leasing business only by the provision of profits tax concession to lessors
這的確令人質疑。推動香港航空融資聚焦小組預計在未來20年間，香港可以逐漸在全球飛機租賃市場取得約18%的份額。
According to the estimation of the Focus Group on Promoting Aerospace Financing in Hong Kong Hong Kong can gradually capture up to about 18 % of aircraft leasing business in the global aircraft leasing market in the coming 20 years
以文化及創意產業為例，政府8年前拍板推出活化工廈政策，現在卻連一間Live House......
Let me elaborate further on the cultural and creative industries . The Government gave the green light to the revitalization of industrial buildings eight years ago . But now even one Live House
現時全球有超過158間航空租賃公司，大部分集中於愛爾蘭和新加坡兩地，市場佔有率高達九成。
Most of the existing 158 aircraft leasing companies globally have their bases in Ireland and Singapore giving the two a market share of as big as 90 %
否則今天為飛機租賃中心提供稅務優惠，下次當看見海上貨運業或藥劑業有些前景，又提供稅務寬減的話，這樣只會破壞香港原有的稅務制度。
Otherwise if today we provide tax concession for the aircraft leasing centre and next time we offer tax reduction to the maritime cargo carriage sector or pharmaceutical industry for their promising prospects our existing taxation system would be undermined
而且不斷地針對這些產業，有減稅的方向，政府的收入可能因而下降。
Worse still the trend of reducing tax for individual industries may reduce the Governments revenue
這次推動香港飛機租賃產業，我們都要回答同樣的問題。
We will need to answer the same question in case of promoting the local aircraft leasing industry this time
法案委員會在今年4月才告成立，政府有很多時間作出修訂，甚至法案委員會也曾提出質疑。
As the Bills Committee was only formed in April this year the Government had ample time beforehand to prepare the amendment provisions and a query was also raised by the Bills Committee in this regard
只要翻閱會議紀錄，便可發現的確有委員在法案委員會成立初期，針對當局提出的稅務寬減範圍，提出是否符合BEPS約束的疑問。
According to the minutes of meetings members did raise a question when the Bills Committee was first formed and enquired if the coverage of the proposed tax regime could meet the standards of the BEPS package
政府表示他們認為相關持份者不會作出反對，我希望政府能提供資料，解釋為何認為實施"一稅兩制"後，相關持份者不會作出反對？
The Government stated that it did not expect any objection from relevant stakeholders but I hope information could be provided to explain why it is considered that relevant stakeholders would raise no objection to the implementation of one tax type two assessment options?
透過減稅，會出現兩種截然不同的處境，第一是在稅率減半後得以提升競爭力，以致能夠與新加坡和愛爾蘭兩個飛機租賃中心一拼高下，將一些本來屬於新加 坡和愛爾蘭的生意搶過來，增加稅收，這便是淨增長，對政府和納稅人均有裨益。
Under the first scenario as profits tax will be levied at half rate Hong Kongs competitiveness will be enhanced . We will then be placed in a better position to compete with the two aircraft leasing centres of Singapore and Ireland and undercut the two competitors to increase our tax revenue by seizing their market shares . The net growth thus achieved will be beneficial to both the Government and taxpayers
根據政府提交法案委員會的文件，購置飛機的融資需求，在2012年至2019年間的預計複合年增長率高達6.7%，去年的融資需求高達9,520億元，行業的增長速度非常快。
According to a paper submitted to the Bills Committee by the Government global demand for financing aircraft purchase is forecasted to increase at compound annual growth rate of as high as 6.7 % between 2012 and 2019 with 952 billion financing requirement last year and the industry is growing at a very rapid rate
我們現時的目標並不是減稅，而是要推動飛機租賃行業，要推動飛機租賃行業有幾個選項，既可減稅，也 可增加其他競爭優勢，而我現時所說的健全法律制度和有利地理位置，正是香港的極強優勢。
Tax reduction is not our present objective but rather we are striving to promote aircraft leasing industry and this can actually be achieved through various means including tax reduction as well as the enhancement of other competitive edges . What I am talking about are the factors concerning sound legal system and favourable geographical location and these are also our competitive strengths . Hong Kong is a window to the Mainland and has a sound legal system
我們是大陸的窗口，亦有健全的法律制度。愛爾蘭實行普通法，香港亦如是，但內地則實行大陸法，是兩種完全不同的法制。
Ireland practises the common law system and so does Hong Kong but the Mainland adopts a civil law system which is a completely different legal system
因為飛機租賃其實是全球性業務，運作上不受地域限制，因此經營者會較多關注雙重課稅協定網絡。
It is because given its global nature there is no territorial restriction for operating aircraft leasing business and the establishment of a network of double tax agreements has thus become a major concern to operators in the industry
所以，我們要換一個角度看，當面對中國這個正在上升的強大市場，我們固然有本身的地理優勢和法律優勢，這些方面都可能較新加坡和愛爾蘭優勝，再者，我們在金融融資上的表現亦非常出色。
Hence we should consider the matter from a different perspective . In the face of the opening up of a vast market in China we do have our competitive strengths as far as geographical location and legal system are concerned and might have thus been placed in a more favourable position when compared with Singapore and Ireland . Moreover we have also been doing well with flying colours in project financing
但是，今天香港的年青一代看到的只是一張又一張打壓香港人的中國官員的嘴臉，亦見證了中港矛盾的發生，以及因為政策不彰而導致的許多衝突。
But young people in Hong Kong nowadays can only see the ugly faces of many Chinese officials who seek to suppress Hong Kong people while also witnessing the emergence of China - Hong Kong conflicts and various disputes resulting from ineffective policy implementation
在那次晚會上，我閱讀了關於六四的文件，認識到有些價值是超越生命的，有些人會為了公義，不為私利，勇敢地面對死亡。
Having read certain articles on the 4 June incident during that vigil I came to realize that some values actually transcended the human life and some people were prepared to face death courageously in return for justice rather than any personal gains
這種理解，當然是建基於真相、建基於歷史。
This understanding is certainly founded on truth and history
梁議員，我相信我是在座唯一一個在1989年尚未出生的人。
Mr LEUNG I believe I am the only person in this Chamber who was not yet born in 1989
自此之後，為在這片土地上的人爭取最大利益，爭取公義和民主的理念，在我的生命中扎根。
Since then striving for the greatest interest justice and democracy for the people on this land has turned into a conviction taken root in my life
我認為原因在於政府不斷以管理思維阻礙單車作為交通工具的發展，令單車政策停滯不前。
In my view the management mentality adopted by the Government all along is a hurdle to developing bicycles as a mode of transport holding back the development of a bicycle policy
舉例來說，人口密度為香港1.7倍的紐約，市內設有超過300公里的單車徑，單車到處可達；柏林身為德國最大、人口最多的城市，有長達630公里的單車徑，有15%的人使用單車通勤。
Take New York as an example . Its population density is 1.7 times that of Hong Kong yet it has over 300 km of cycle tracks in the city and every place is accessible by bicycles . As for Berlin the largest city with the greatest population in Germany it has 630 km of cycle tracks and 15 % of the population commute to work on bicycles
因此，交通繁忙絕對 不應成為阻礙發展單車徑的藉口。
Hence busy traffic definitely should not be an excuse for impeding the development of cycle tracks
政府在2008年"拍板"興建一條貫通新界東西，全長112公里的超級單車徑，9年過去，仍然遙遙無期；東區走廊下的行人板道、灣仔北角海濱單車徑也進行多年研究，至今仍未落實。
In 2008 the Government confirmed the construction of a super cycle track of 112 km connecting New Territories East and New Territories West . Nine years down the line the completion of the track remains nowhere in sight . Studies on the boardwalk underneath the Island Easter Corridor and the cycle track in the Wan Chai and North Point harbourfront areas have been in progress for many years yet the projects have yet to be finalized to date
很多民間團體，例如香港單車同盟由2007年開始已經發起單車遊行，但遊行舉行了10年，政府仍未有任何進展。
Many community organizations like the Hong Kong Cycling Alliance started staging cycling protests in 2007 . However despite the protests staged over the past 10 years the Government has made no progress
在政府眼裏，何謂"單車友善政策"呢？
What is a bicycle - friendly policy to the Government?
沙田區議會已進行多次顧問研究，希望政府資助在港鐵站、學校區和購物區設立自助單車租賃系統，以廉價出租單車給市民。
The Sha Tin District Council has conducted a number of consultation exercises . They hope the Government will provide subsidies in setting up self - service bicycle rental systems at MTR stations school areas and shopping areas so that inexpensive bicycle rental services may be provided to the public
為何要團體以非牟利形式自負盈虧營運，但政府卻無動於衷呢？
This is self - contradictory . What an eye - opener? . Why do organizations have to operate self - financing services on a non - profit - making basis while the Government can remain indifferent?
