議員和市民一樣，除期望財政司司長在預算案中"有貨交"外，亦很希望各政策局能夠"有貨交"，並聆聽我們和市民的聲音，下定決心做好政策，及早規劃，認真回應市民關注的各項民生問題。
Members and the public alike hope that the Financial Secretary will have something to deliver in the Budget . They also hope that various Policy Bureaux can have something to deliver listen to the views of Members and the public show determination in policy implementation and make early planning in order to earnestly address public concerns about various livelihood issues
我謹此陳辭，支持《2019年撥款條例草案》，多謝主席。
With these remarks I support the Appropriation Bill 2019 . Thank you President
代理主席，我們今天討論的是由陳恒鑌議員所提出，關於"推動醫療改革"的議員議案，在此很感謝陳議員，因為他令我們有機會在議會真真正正直接討論這個影響市民健康的醫療問題。
Deputy President the Members motion under discussion today is on Promoting healthcare reform proposed by Mr CHAN Han - pan . I must thank Mr CHAN here . He gives us an opportunity in this Council to truly and directly discuss this healthcare issue that affects public health
但是，事實是，我們看到近年每當進入流感高峰期，公立醫院就會變成"戰地醫院"，不但急症室輪候時間居高不下，內科病房使用率亦往往超過100%。
However we have actually seen over recent years public hospitals become war zone hospitals when Hong Kong entered its influenza peak season . The waiting time at accidents and emergency departments was consistently long . The attendance of medical wards often exceeded 100 %
這一點亦是為何我一而再、再而三的強調，政府應該改變現時"重治療、輕預防"的醫療服務提供模式，不論在資源投放或服務規劃上，我認為都應該採取"重治療、更重預防"的方針，透過在社區上建立一 套完整的基層醫療服務系統，真正在社區做好預防、分流和及早介入，從源頭減少病人，分擔公立醫院的服務壓力，這樣才有望避免現時病人及醫護在公立醫院"困獸鬥"的情況持續下去。
I hold that the Government should put a greater emphasis on prevention rather than treatment for both resources deployment and service planning . It should properly conduct disease prevention triage and early intervention at community level by establishing a comprehensive primary healthcare service system so as to reduce the number of patients at source and share the service load of public hospitals . This is the only way to avert the present hedged - in fight between patients and healthcare personnel
所以，我認為政府有必要拿出應有的承擔，它可以考慮重整衞生署，另一方面亦可考慮另設專責部門，全面統籌本港的基層醫療服務發展，並且為基層醫療制訂完整的發展藍圖，為本港未來20年的基層醫療發展訂定具體可行的目標。
Hence in my opinion the Government must show its commitment . It can consider restructuring the Department of Health or setting up a dedicated department to comprehensively coordinate the development of primary healthcare services and formulate a comprehensive development blueprint for primary healthcare so as to lay down a specific and feasible target for primary healthcare development in the coming 20 years for Hong Kong . One option for consideration is to extend the enhanced version of Community Health Centre to 18 districts
當中可以考慮的，包括落實把"升級版"的社區健康中心擴展至全港18區，除了為各區居民提供基本的健康管理及健康教育等服務外，亦可以與公立醫院保持緊密合作，分擔慢性病的管理工作；再配合政府早前提出在各區開設地區康健中心，善用私營市場的服務，為市民提供更靈活並且符合地區特定需要的基層醫療服務，相信這樣有望為本港整體的醫療環境帶來改善。
Apart from providing services like primary health management and health education to district residents Community Health Centres can also work closely with public hospitals to share the work of chronic illness management . Besides these centres can collaborate with District Health Centres which according to the government announcement earlier will be set up in different districts to better utilize the services in the private sector to provide flexible and district - oriented primary healthcare services for the people . I believe this will improve the overall healthcare environment in Hong Kong
基層醫療服務更連繫到我想指出的第二個重點，就是醫護人手的規劃。
Primary healthcare services are related to my second key point and that is the planning of healthcare personnel
事實上，上屆政府曾委託香港大學及香港中文大學就本港未來一段時間的醫護人手需求作出估算，雖然不少聲音都批評有關估算結果不夠準確，但我認為有關的工作畢竟為醫護人手規劃走出了重要的一步。
In fact the previous Government entrusted the University of Hong Kong and The Chinese University of Hong Kong to conduct an assessment on the demand on healthcare manpower in a coming period of time . Despite quite some criticisms on the accuracy of the assessment result I hold that the assessment is a major step forward on the planning of healthcare manpower
因此，我建議政府應該盡快展開新一輪"醫療人力規劃和專業發展策略檢討"，配合基層醫療的發展藍圖，盡快為未來基層醫療服務發展所需的醫護人手，作出全面的規劃。
We thus suggest the Government to expeditiously kick start a new round of the Strategic Review on Healthcare Manpower Planning and Professional Development coupled with a development blueprint for primary healthcare to expeditiously make a comprehensive plan on the healthcare manpower required for developing the future primary healthcare services
除了一定程度上反映社會對醫療改革的迫切需求之外，亦反映我們對醫療改革有很多不同的看法。
This considerably reflects the urgent demand of society for a healthcare reform and also reflects the fact that we have many different views on healthcare reform
很欣喜剛才局長特別提到中醫的發展，希望可以真正落實。
I am very glad to hear the Secretary mention just now the development of Chinese medicine . I hope that it can truly be implemented
再者，本港已經設有一個中醫註冊制度，可以確保醫療水平。
They very much welcome the arrangement . This shows that the public have considerable confidence in Chinese medicine . Moreover Chinese medicine practitioners already have a registration system to ensure their medical standard
但是，在基層醫療欠缺整體規劃的情況下，我覺得中醫醫療專業根本被視為"過剩人手"，這樣實在太浪費。
However the lack of overall planning of primary healthcare has turned in my opinion Chinese medicine practitioners into surplus manpower . This is indeed too wasteful
醫療改革的路途非常漫長，我建議政府不妨考慮舉行一次"醫療改革大辯論"，一起討論，集思廣益，希望可以有額外的收穫。
The road to healthcare reform is very long . I suggest that the Government should consider hosting a public forum on healthcare reform to discuss this subject and gather collective wisdom . We may be surprised at what we get
正因為這些多元的意見，證明了醫療改革這個課題的複雜性。
Such varieties of views prove that the subject of healthcare reform is complex
事實上，我相信市民對醫療改革的議題並不陌生，因為早在回歸前已經開始醫療改革的討論。
In fact I believe the subject of healthcare reform is no stranger to the public . Discussions on healthcare reform began as early as the time before the reunification
立法會資料文件顯示，在2017-2018課稅年度受惠於稅務寬免的有188萬名薪俸稅和個人入息課稅的納稅人，而且還有142,000個 須繳稅的法團和非法團的業務。
According to the information paper of the Legislative Council in respect of the 2017 - 2018 Budget about 1.88 million taxpayers of salaries tax and tax under personal assessment together with 142 000 tax - paying corporations and unincorporated businesses benefited from the tax concessions
近數個月，大家面對香港社會動盪不安的情況是前所未見的，這是來自反修訂有關《逃犯條例》引起的衝突事件，已持續數月，本港的民生經濟受創，非常嚴重，不論是飲食業、零售業、旅遊業、酒店業、航空業，所有說得出的行業也大受影響。
The incessant clashes in these few months were derived from the opposition against the amendment to the Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation Amendment Bill 2019 which is dealing a devastating blow to the livelihood and economy of Hong Kong and adversely affecting our catering retail tourism hotel and aviation industries and other industries you name it
我希望大家看一看實質數字，因為我認為數字是不會騙人的，希望大家不要美化這事件，用一些很美好的形容詞將暴力事件美化。
I hope that we can look at some specific figures as I think figures will not deceive us . We should not glorify this whole incident or glorify the violence with some fabulous adjectives
我們看一看實質數字，究竟這事件對香港經濟、民生經濟有多大打擊。
Let us look at some specific figures and see how Hong Kongs economy and livelihood are seriously affected by this incident
有30多個國家和地區，因為香港現在出現動盪不安的情況，包括四處出現破壞、縱火、機場受搗亂等情況，已對香港發出旅遊警示。
Owing to the social turmoil in Hong Kong with vandalism and arson attacks happening everywhere as well as disturbances in the airport over 30 countries and regions have already issued travel alerts for Hong Kong
這項修正案其實是在2個月前，即8月中提出，財政司司長當時說，是面對這個極具挑戰的內外經濟環境而提出提升稅務寬免的百分比，這項修訂可令大約143萬名納稅人或企業額外節省大約18億4,000萬元稅款。
This amended measure was actually announced two months ago ie . in August . The Financial Secretary said back then that the tax concession rate was increased in order to counter the challenging external and local economic environment and through the amendments about 1.43 million taxpayers or enterprises will benefit from a further saving of 1.84 billion
在陸路旅客方面，其中包括內地團，9月首10天，平均只有15個內地團訪港，按年大跌九成。
In terms of visitors entering the territory by land including tour groups from the Mainland during the first 10 days in September there were only 15 groups on average from the Mainland to Hong Kong a drastic year - on - year drop of 90 % . With the phenomenal decrease in the number of tour groups visiting Hong Kong the livelihood of coach drivers and local tour guides is the first to bear the brunt
有些酒店本來打算為本地接待社預留一些酒店房間，用以接待旅行團，但由於訪港旅行團大減，沒有客人入住，可以怎辦？
Some hotels have originally reserved certain hotel rooms for local receiving agents to receive tours . But with the drastic drop in the number of tours visiting Hong Kong only very limited number of visitors were received . What should the hotels do?
它們只好將預留的房間以"賤價"出售，從而彌補損失。
They could only slash the prices of the reserved hotel rooms excessively in order to make up for the losses
除了航空業和酒店業，我們亦看看飲食業、售賣化妝品和服裝等商鋪的情況。
Apart from the aviation and the hotel industries we can also look at the catering industry and the shops selling cosmetics and clothes
我們別只說上市公司，可以談談小型商戶。
We shall not only talk about listed companies let us talk about small scale shops
然而，如果只看這次小恩小惠的修訂稅務寬免措施，我覺得只能幫助很少人，我們只能用"杯水車薪，聊勝於無"來形容，是只有紓緩陣痛的作用。
Nonetheless in my view the petty favour from this amended tax concessionary measure can only offer assistance to very few people . We can only describe it as a drop in the ocean or merely better than nothing which can only have a slight alleviating effect
我特別想再談論一下中產人士的情況。
I particularly want to discuss more about the situation of the middle class
所以，我請政府再考慮一下，因為可能很快便要再提出一些"保飯碗"的措施，到時候不知道又會想出甚麼新招幫助小市民。
Hence I ask the Government to consider the situation again because very soon it may have to roll out new measures to protect the employment of the public . I wonder what new measures the Government will introduce to help the public then
但是，政府請緊記，不論任何措施，請用最直接、最簡單、最快捷的方法幫助市民，不要再推出一些好像上次派4,000元的措施，令市民兜了一大個圈，至今仍未收到款項。
Anyway the Government should bear in mind that no matter what measure is introduced it should use the most direct simple and expeditious way to help the public instead of coming up with some those measures like the cash handouts of up to 4,000 to the public who however have not received the money hitherto
所以，如真正希望利民紓困、改善營商，最終必須盡快令社會回復正常。
Therefore in order to bring genuine benefits and relief to the people and improve business environment efforts should ultimately be made to enable our society to return to normal as soon as possible
很可惜，立法會在7月1日成為被攻擊和破壞的目標，立法會大樓遭到肆意破壞，我們亦被迫提早休會，無法審議《條例草案》，直到今天才能進行辯論。
The Legislative Council was very regrettably the target of vandalism on 1 July and as a result the Legislative Council Complex was arbitrarily vandalized . We were thus forced to have an early start of our summer recess and the scrutiny and debate concerning the Bill were also deferred until today
特別是對於中產家庭而言，他們確實會有心理不平衡之感，因為他們繳納的稅款在政府收入中所佔的比重可說是各階層之冠，但在政府推出紓困措施時，他們的得益卻往往最少。
In particular middle - class families will inevitably feel aggrieved because the amount of tax paid by them accounts for the greatest proportion of government revenue when compared with other social strata but they often benefit the least from the relief measures introduced by the Government
主席，大家也知道不少中產家庭上有父母，下有子女，兩夫婦一起外出工作，就是為了賺錢供養子女讀書及供養父母。
President we all know that working couples of many middle - class families have to take care of their dependant parents as well as their children and they have to rely on their double income for meeting the education expenses of their children and the living expenses of their parents
儘管政府經常強調現時已設有房屋階梯，可協助市民置業，例如港人首次置業、居屋及"白居二"等計劃，但當中最大的問題是供應不足，造成的客觀效果是苦等多時仍無機會"上 車"。
Although the Government has time and again stressed that a housing ladder is already in place to help the people acquire their own flat through such schemes as the Starter Homes Scheme for Hong Kong Resident the Home Ownership Scheme HOS and the White Form Secondary Market Scheme inadequate supply of housing remains the biggest problem resulting in the fact that many people have waited for a long time but still cannot achieve home ownership
港島區的情況更加嚴重，5年間的平均租金升幅達三成一，難怪很多中產人士均向我訴說生活開支越來越大。
The situation on Hong Kong Island is even more serious with the average rent level increased by 31 % over the past five years and no wonder many middle - class people have complained to me that their living expenses were ever increasing
正因如此，無論是最新公布的施政報告還是早前公布的預算案，我均在諮詢階段多次提出，希望政府考慮針對中產家庭生活開支上的種種負擔，增設更多免稅項目。
For this reason during the consultation period on the Policy Address just delivered and that on the Budget delivered earlier I have repeatedly proposed to the Government that consideration should be given to relieving the burden of middle - class families by providing additional allowances for different kinds of living expenses
根據財經事務及庫務局提供的資料，是次稅務寬免將可惠及191萬名納稅人，以及145,000個須繳稅的法團及非法團業務。
According to the information furnished by the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau the proposed tax concession measures will benefit 1.91 million taxpayers and 145 000 tax - paying corporations and unincorporated businesses
另一項不得不提的措施是醫療保險免稅額。
The allowance for medical insurance contributions is another measure that I wish to talk about
但是，作為吸引市民特別是年青人參與自願醫保的主要措施，我可以說是項稅務優惠措施的吸引力極低。
However as the major initiative to provide incentives to encourage the public to join VHIS I have to say that the attractiveness of this tax deduction measure is very limited
稅務寬免的建議值得支持，但香港近期發生的事件令疲弱的經濟再受重創，市民的自身基本安全也受到威脅，即使推行利民紓困措施也難以感受，所以這些措施只能發揮紓緩陣痛的作用。
The proposed tax concession measures are worth supporting but the recent events in Hong Kong have dealt a heavy blow to our already weak economy and when the personal safety of ordinary people is under threat relief measures like these can hardly achieve the desired effect but can only serve to provide pain relief
更加重要的是，政府需要思考如何善用現時充裕的財政儲備，為未來作出極其完善的規劃，改善市民的福祉。
It is more important for the Government to consider how it should make good use of its ample financial reserves to make very comprehensive planning for our future thereby bringing greater benefits to the people
我謹此陳辭，支持《條例草案》。
With these remarks I support the Bill
從以上數據看到，政府應該很清楚知道現時香港的經濟環境有多差。
As seen from the above data the Government should be well aware of how bad the current economic environment of Hong Kong is
經濟數據反映經濟下滑已影響消費情緒，削弱市民的消費意欲。
Economic data indicated that the weakening economic conditions have dampened consumer sentiment and resulted in weak consumer spending
對經濟展望而言，可以說是一個十分悲觀的信號。
As for the economic outlook it can be said that the signal is very pessimistic
然而，現時有別於當年，今次香港的經濟衰退是受累於近期連串的反修例運動。
However unlike back then the present economic recession in Hong Kong is the result of a series of movements of opposition to the proposed legislative amendments lately
我確實聽到不少人，包括一些受惠於今次《條例草案》的市民說，今年繳稅將會很不開心也很不甘心，特別是一些中產的朋友，過去多年來一直辛勞地工作。
I did hear many people including members of the public who will benefit from this Bill say that they pay tax with great sadness and reluctance this year . This is particularly so for people from the middle class who have been working diligently over the past years
他們努力工作除了是為供養父母外，亦可能是為照顧子女。
They work hard not only to support their parents but probably to take care of their children as well
他們無論多辛苦也如常繳稅，是因為要盡公民責任，一起建設香港，為自己的家園出一分力，為下一代做好準備。
Despite the hardship they are obliged to pay tax so as to fulfil their civic responsibility build Hong Kong together contribute to their homeland and make preparation for the next generation
《條例草案》早應在7月立法會休會前便進行討論，但大家都知道，立法會大樓在7月1日因部分激進人士的行動而被大肆破壞，玻璃外牆被毀、升降機被破壞、閉路電視甚至主席現時所用的桌子及椅子也報銷。
The Bill should have been discussed before the recess of the Legislative Council in July but as we all know the Legislative Council Complex was severely vandalized by some radicals on 1 July . Window walls were destroyed lifts were damaged the CCTV system and even the table and chair that the President is now using were damaged beyond repair
現時全港的港鐵站差不多無一幸免，閘機、增值機、售票機及升降機全部被破壞。
At present nearly all MTR stations in Hong Kong have been vandalized with their ticket gates add value machines ticket issuing machines and lifts being destroyed
如果大家不相信，可以到深水埗、油麻地、尖沙咀的港鐵站看看。
If Members do not believe in my words just go to the MTR stations in Sham Shui Po Yau Ma Tei and Tsim Sha Tsui to see for themselves
很多港鐵站其實只有一部升降機，但現在連唯一一部都被破壞了。
In fact many MTR stations in Hong Kong have only one lift but even the one lift was not spared
主席，我們現正就《2019年稅務條例草案》進行三讀。
President this Council has now proceeded to the Third Reading of the Inland Revenue Amendment Bill the Bill
在上星期四，政府統計處公布了第三季本地生產總值的數據。
Last Thursday the Census and Statistics Department released the estimates on Gross Domestic Product GDP for the third quarter
根據預先估計數字，今年第三季本地生產總值較去年同期實質下跌2.9%。
According to the advance estimates GDP decreased by 2.9 % in real terms in the third quarter of this year from a year earlier
首3季合計，香港經濟按年收縮0.7%。
For the first three quarters as a whole the Hong Kong economy contracted by 0.7 % over a year earlier
主席，我的質詢是，如果當局設有緊急應變機制和小組，為何每次作決定也如此緩慢？
President my question is like this . If the authorities have put in place an emergency response mechanism and task force why was the decision - making always so slow?
有些人無工可開，要上班的無法上班，四處頹垣敗瓦，全城死灰，這是香港嗎？
Some people got no jobs . Those who needed to go to work could not do so . There were ruins and debris everywhere
究竟政府正在做甚麼？
What the heck is the Government doing?
因為我們看到政府完全無法掌握民情。
Because we see that the Government utterly cannot grasp the public sentiments at all
首先，我想感謝容海恩議員提出這項休會待續議案。
First of all I would like to thank Ms YUNG Hoi - yan for moving this adjournment motion
候選人在地區街站宣傳，被人包圍、騷擾、辱罵；海報、橫額被人割爛及塗污。
When candidates were canvassing support at street booths they were surrounded harassed and verbally abused; their posters and banners were cut and smeared
但是，今年不少商鋪和大廈都不敢讓他們張貼海報，候選人亦不敢要求張貼，因為候選人不想連累這些地方，不想他們被激進分子蓄意破壞、刑事毀壞。
However many shops and buildings did not have the courage to let candidates do so this time . Candidates dared not make such requests because they did not want to cause trouble to the places . They did not want radicals to vandalize the shops and cause criminal damage
激進分子刑事毀壞，蓄意破壞一些食肆、商店和大廈。
The radicals caused criminal damage and vandalized restaurants shops and buildings
他們唯有減少設置街站，避免在社區引發不必要衝突，晚上的室外拉票活動全部停止。
Thus they had no alternative but to set up fewer street booths to avoid unnecessary conflict in the communities and stop all outdoor canvassing activities at night
且不說參選人，助選人也受威脅。
Not only candidates but also canvassing aides have been threatened
正常的拉票活動都受到阻撓，這還是公平選舉嗎？
When people are obstructed even in conducting usual canvassing activities how can it be regarded as a fair election?
大家都知道，現在不少區議員辦事處受到"特別照顧"，多次被破壞，甚至有部分被縱火焚毀，這些是嚴重暴力破壞的行為，嚴重危及附近居民的安全之餘，亦對有關候選人非常不公平。
As we all know many offices of DC members have received special care; they have been repeatedly vandalized and some have even been set on fire and damaged . Such terribly violent and destructive behaviour has not only greatly endangered the safety of residents but also caused gross unfairness to candidates
早在個多月前，我已發現有人甚至是"網紅"，或一些可能是在電台工作的人教唆年輕人在投票日收起家中長者及父母的身份證明文件，目的就是要阻止這些長者及父母投票。
More than a month ago I noticed that some people―they may be Internet celebrities or people working in radio stations―have incited young people to hide the identity cards of their elderly relatives or parents so as to stop them from voting
我們先不說這些行為最終會導致哪些派別的候選人得益，純粹令到一些人不能夠投票，已令一部分人的投票權被剝奪。
Let us not talk about which candidates and the parties they belong to will benefit from such acts; the act of disabling other people to vote is to deprive them of their right to vote
任何人也擁有選舉投票權，不應被剝奪。
Everyone has the right to vote in elections and no one should be deprived of this right
因此，麻煩所有看到這類留言的市民，停止再轉載，而且要告訴其他人這種行為不對。
Thus when members of the public see such online messages please stop sharing them and tell others that the act is wrong
11月24日是區議會選舉投票日，距離現在還有3天時間，但我們仍然看到有人阻塞交通、阻礙地鐵車門關閉等事件，亦聽到很多流言，很多誤導投票的解說，卻看不見政府有甚麼具體和實質行動確保市民有一個公平、公正的區議會選舉。
The polling day of the District Council DC Election on 24 November is only three days away but there are still incidents of blocking traffic and obstructing the closing of train doors as well as many rumours and statements intending to mislead voters . However we are not aware that the Government has taken any specific and concrete actions to convince the public that a fair and just DC Election will be conducted
如果該政黨的議員真的希望選舉改期，便沒有必要冒着生命危險、沒有必要受到謾罵、指罵，現在每天仍然很努力在選區內拉票。
If Members of that particular political party really wished to reschedule the Election they would not have put their lives at risk subjected themselves to verbal abuse and finger - pointing and strived to solicit votes in their constituencies day in day out up till now
直至此刻，我們在立法會討論都仍在爭取11月24日如期於早上7時30分至晚上10時30分舉行投票。
Up to this moment we are still demanding in our discussion in the Legislative Council that the Election be held from 7col30 am to 10col30 pm on 24 November
所有這類文宣切切實實都不公平或正在影響今次的選舉，而且是一傳十，十傳百，傳播速度之快，影響範圍之廣，可以說是難以控制。
That kind of propaganda is really unfair and it may actually affect the Election; it spreads so quickly and widely that it has become uncontrollable
原來當時香港正在上演一套超級英雄電影，政府懂得同時找來這7隻吉祥物作宣傳。
The reason was that a super hero movie was released at the time in Hong Kong and the Government summoned these seven mascots for publicity
地區工作不容易，必須深耕細作，很多區議員及社區幹事用了很多青春，拿出陪伴家人的時間來服務我們的社區，很努力地處理民生問題，以及為街坊解決問題。
District work is not easy it requires deep ploughing and careful cultivation . Many DC members and district officers have spent much time in serving our communities sacrificing the time they spent with their families . They have strived to address livelihood issues and solve problems for the people in their districts
他們很努力地，一步一步地建設我們的社區。
They have diligently and gradually build our communities
不要怕，出來投票。
Do not be afraid; cast your vote
然而，今時今日最能反映選舉公正性出現問題的，正是網上世界。
However at present it is in the cyber world where problems with fairness of elections are most noticeable
但是，面對網絡世界發展一日千里，加上網民創意"爆燈"，相關的規管便好像追不上發展。
However given the rapid development of the cyber world and the unlimited creativity of netizens the relevant regulations appeared to be unable to keep pace with the development
我舉例說，前幾天選舉日，不少人在網上發放數張相片，指某個選區的候選人派米，甚至說某候選人及某政黨派物資，於是客觀上這便造成一種效果，就是這些候選人看似有賄選之嫌。
Let me cite an example . A few days before the Election many people circulated a few photos online showing the candidate of a certain constituency giving away rice; some even alleged certain candidates and political parties of giving away supplies . These photos and allegations had the objective effect of portraying the candidates in question as apparently bribing the voters
我自己不太清楚，不過我看到昨天有人在網上幫忙查證，並澄清指網民瘋傳的相片其實不是選舉當天拍攝。
I am not quite sure myself but I noticed on the Internet yesterday that some people who had offered to verify the widely circulated photos clarified that the photos were not taken on the day of the Election
這些澄清的確是好事；但我想說，對於這種有意無意的廣告，我或者甚至會形容為抹黑，對選舉結果已造成影響，因為市民已投票，結果亦已塵埃落定。
While such a clarification is desirable I would like to point out that these intentional or unintentional advertisements or smearing as I would put it had already influenced the election results given that the public had cast their ballot and the election results had been finalized
我們的理解是，一般而言，行政長官選舉的開支其實比立法會選舉還要高和複雜，所以候選人需要較多時間才能處理好相關申報事宜。
Based on our understanding in general expenses for the Chief Executive election are actually higher and more complicated than those for the Legislative Council election and thus candidates for the Chief Executive election need more time to complete the declaration of relevant expenses
可是，以當天所見，根本未到票站便已大排長龍，有些票站外更是"打蛇餅"，選民繞了一圈又一圈。
From what I observed that day however long queues had formed even outside polling stations and snaking queues were even found outside some polling stations
我個人對上述一系列技術性修訂本來沒有太大意見。
I originally do not have a strong opinion about these technical amendments
剛才多位議員指出，這個做法正正導致數天前選舉日出現的混亂情況。
As suggested by a number of Members just now it was precisely this approach which led to the chaotic situation during the Election a few days ago
我希望當局能以同樣的思維考慮選舉的實際情況，檢討申報相關的問題，特別是選舉開支的問題。
With the same way of thinking I hope that the authorities will review the arrangement for declaration of expenses election expenses in particular in the light of the actual situation
實際上，我們留意到，在這種氣氛下進行選舉，候選人進行競選工作時極之困難。
In fact we are aware of the extreme difficulties for candidates in electioneering under such an atmosphere
