香港內耗，與其說是因為政治爭拗，倒不如說是因為梁振英碌碌無為。
The internal friction of Hong Kong is due to LEUNG Chun - yings mediocrity rather than political wrangling
說到這裏，原議案的郭偉强議員亦將梁振英的碌碌無為諉過於人，指泛民議員是阻礙開展民生議題的人。
In this connection Mr KWOK Wai - keung mover of the original motion also blames other people for LEUNG Chun - yings mediocrity as he says that pan - democracy Members hamper the discussion of livelihood issues
我不知道他的記憶力如何，是否記得在檢討強積金對沖、標準工時和增建公共街市等議案上，是哪些人反對的呢？
I am not sure how good his memory is . Can he remember who were against the motions concerning the review of the MPF offsetting arrangement the standard working hours and the construction of more public markets?
孫中山先生曾經引用《論語》，批評一些保守的保皇黨。
Dr SUN Yat - sen had once quoted the lines from Confucian Analects to criticize some conservative royalists
他說："天下事名不正則言不順，言不順則事不成"。
He said For the affairs in this world if names be not correct language is not in accordance with the truth of things
因此，香港人要思考的是，接下來數個月我們不能望天打卦，期望民主從天而降，而應由公民社會做起，重新提倡一個我們對於香港自主、自立的願景，然後要求候選人作出回應。
Therefore what Hong Kong people need to think about is that in the coming few months we cannot pray for help from heaven and expect democracy to be delivered from heaven but should begin with a civic society re - advocating our aspiration for autonomy and self - reliance of Hong Kong . We will then ask for response from the candidates
這些法定機構的運作相當重要，而我們要推行地區民主化，重設三級議會亦是很重要的元素，令市政的權力歸於民意機構。
While the operation of these statutory institutions is rather important our aspirations of advocating democratization of local organizations and re - establishment of a three - tier council system to delegate municipal powers to institutions representing public opinions are no less significant
但是，這並不代表我們需要懷憂喪志。
Nevertheless this does not mean that we need to feel worried and depressed
與其期待下屆特首，不如由我們重掌政治議程，民間社會需要不斷擴闊這些議題的討論，且讓我們由自己的社區工作開始。
Instead of waiting for the next Chief Executive it would be better for us to take over the political agenda again . The local community needs to continuously extend the discussion of these topics and thus let us start from our community work
作為議員，我亦會繼續與民間社會一起努力，這樣才能看到真正的希望。
As a Legislative Council Member I will also continue to work hard with the community such that we can really be hopeful
剛才提出原議案的郭偉强議員說，借鑒美國的經驗，知道令政局停滯不前的政團會被選舉懲罰。
Mr KWOK Wai - keung the mover of the original motion said earlier that from the experience of the United States he learned that those political groups which caused stagnation of the political state would be punished by elections
另外，我不知道他是否記得，在去年的選舉，民主派其實在得票和議席上都有所增加呢？
Besides I am not sure whether he remembers that during the election last year there was actually increase in the number of votes and the number of seats for the democratic camp
歸根究底，我們今天討論這項修訂規例，其實最重要的問題是：我們剛才提出了兩個前提，那麼我們究竟想傳達甚麼信息給社會？
After all in our discussion on this Amendment Regulation today the most important message is In the light of the two premises raised just now what actually is the message that we want to convey to society?
此外，亦有議員提到，數天前，一些懷疑用作商業繁殖的動物被遺棄，遭遇相當淒慘，這絕不是單一的例子。
Moreover some Member has mentioned that a few days ago some animals suspected of being used for commercial breeding were abandoned and their conditions were miserable . This is definitely not an isolated case
我們認為，這項修訂規例其實提供很好的機會，帶出一個信息：就是我們不希望亦不鼓勵進行動物商業繁殖以作買賣，而是希望大家更多選擇領養。
In our view this Amendment Regulation provides a good chance to convey a message we neither endorse nor encourage commercial animal breeding for trading purpose; instead we hope that people will opt for adopting animals
但是，一方面規管乏善可陳；另一方面，這項修訂規例所帶出的社會、道德和文化信息，令公眾感到模糊，認為政府在這個時候推動住家繁殖業，其實是在鼓勵任何人均可成為商業繁殖者。
However on the one hand the regulation is far from prefect and on the other hand the social moral and cultural messages conveyed by this Amendment Regulation are perplexing to the public leading them into thinking that the Government by promoting home breeding at this time actually encourages people to become commercial breeders
就此，我認為這項修訂規例有很多可斟酌的空間。
In this connection I consider that there are many aspects in this Amendment Regulation that need further deliberation
但10多年來，顯然易見，外判制不單無法帶來更優質的服務，更令外判商剝削員工，政府卸責成為藉口。
However down the 10 - odd years it has been obvious that not only did outsourcing fail to bring higher quality services but it also led to exploitation of workers by contractors and gave the Government an excuse to shirk its responsibilities
從領展商場、屋邨街市、屋邨管理、街道清潔等民生問題，我們也看到是"走樣"的公營服務，以及衍生出各種社會問題，市民和工友便成為外判制度下的受害者。
Twisted public services and various social issues derived therefrom can be seen in livelihood problems such as The Link REITs shopping arcades public housing estate markets public housing estate management and street cleansing . The public and the workers have been rendered victims of outsourcing
政府看不到問題嗎？
Did the Government not see the problems?
任何糾紛、失職、失責都是外判商的問題，與政府無關，政府便可以大條道理地說其故意忽略監管外判制度下日漸差劣的公營服務和勞工待遇。
Any dispute breach of duty or default is the problem of outsourced contractors that has nothing to do with the Government . The Government can then blatantly talk about the deteriorating public services and treatment of workers under an outsourcing system that the Government deliberately neglected to supervise
由於外判商要以低價投標，又要謀取利潤，所以最終的做法就是壓榨工 人，少請人手，減低工資。
As contractors need to place tenders with low price while making profits the ultimate solution is suppression of workers hire less workers and reduce their wages
外判商要"將貨就價"，扣減人手，有一些清潔工人在最高峰時要清潔10條街道，試問質素又怎會不下降呢？
Contractors reduced manpower in order to suit quality to the low prices . Some cleaning workers are required to clean up to 10 streets so how could the quality not drop?
衞生黑點又怎會不增加呢？
How could the number of hygiene blackspots not increase?
我舉另一個例子，就是2016年年初，威爾斯親王醫院的外判清潔工人罷工，當中有過百名工人就同工不同薪，以及人手編制不足的問題進行抗議。
Another example is the strike by outsourced cleaning workers of the Prince of Wales Hospital at the beginning of 2016 in which more than one hundred workers protested against different pay for the same job and the shortfall in manpower establishment
這些員工辛苦之餘，服務質素也沒有保障，結果是病人和員工雙輸。
These workers worked very hard but the quality of service was not assured hence a lose - lose situation arose for both patients and workers
另外一些公營服務，包括屋邨商場外判給領展、屋邨街市判上判給承租商、安老服務外判給私營安老院，全部都為香港帶來災難性的後果，在我們的議事堂內亦曾多次討論過，相關情況把小市民、小商戶趕盡殺絕。
In addition some outsourced public services brought disastrous consequences to Hong Kong such as public housing estate shopping arcades outsourced to The Link REIT public housing estate markets subcontracted to operators and elderly services outsourced to private elderly homes which we have discussed repeatedly in this Council . This practice has driven the general public and small businesses to a dead alley
政府一直標榜外判制度可提高效益，減低成本，剛才多位建制派的議員亦曾說過。
The Government has all along boasted that outsourcing can improve efficiency and reduce costs as many Members of the pro - establishment camp have said
但是，其實從來也沒有提供過相關數據，甚至有時候要推出額外資源和工作來"補鑊"。
However relevant data has never been provided and additional resources and work were even required sometimes to make remedies
這就是為何我們說"路徑依循，官僚吃人，官商勾結"。
This is why we said path dependence people - eating bureaucracy and Government - business collusion
一定會有人說不是這樣的，政府其實是有監察機制，但機制成效有多高呢？
Some will say that this is not the case that the Government has a monitoring mechanism . But how effective is this mechanism?
三宗而已，大家覺得有問題的個案只得3宗嗎？
Three only . Were there only three cases with problems?
學生可能只佔社會五分之一的人口，但他們是香港全部的未來。
Students may account for only one fifth of our population yet they are the future of Hong Kong
把學生從僵固的教育體制、封建文化當中解放出來，是任何一位從政者最大的責任。
The greatest responsibility of any politician is to liberate students from the fossilized education system and feudalistic culture
香港中文大學教授馬嶽在其題為"最大危險是習以為常"的文章中點出這種情況："半威權政權的最大陷阱，是在長期半紅不黑的狀況下，很多人出現'過度疲勞'，喪失動力持續爭取制度改革。
In an article by MA Ngok a professor of The Chinese University of Hong Kong titled 最大危機是習以為常 he points out the following situation to this effect The greatest trap in a semi - authoritative government is that in a prolonged state in between success and failure many people may come down with excessive fatigue losing the drive to persevere in the fight for institutional reform
其實，香港很多地區如灣仔區，並未符合《香港規劃標準與準則》的要求提供足夠的體育及休憩用地。
In fact in many districts in Hong Kong such as Wan Chai the requirements under the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines on the provision of adequate sports and leisure space are not met
結果，今年施政報告所說的體育政策只有非常空洞的"盛事化"、"精英化"和"普及化"。
Eventually the sports policies mentioned in the Policy Address this year are merely some extremely hollow approaches in promoting major events elite sports and sports in community
"普及化"即要有多少人參與運動呢？
What is the target number of participation for sports promotion in community?
"盛事化"是引進盛事還是把本土項目提升為盛事呢？
Will the promotion of major events seek to attract international major events or escalate local events to major events?
我們期望香港未來需要有發展取材、訓練、比賽、退役一系列的政策，以建立良好的體育文化。
We hope that Hong Kong will have a series of policies to promote development in talent identification and athletes training competition and retirement planning so as to build up a good sports culture
再者，體育界必須團結，共同面對政府"用完即棄"的棄卒政策。
Moreover the sports sector must be united to face the forfeiting approach adopted by the Government where athletes are regarded as disposable
奈何體育界要依靠政府的支持，面對政府步步進迫就只能噤若寒蟬。
Regrettably since the sports sector has to rely on the support of the Government they can only remain silent even if the Government presses hard
看到體育界的選舉委員會委員急於集體支持林鄭月娥，不敢提及政府體育政策的失誤，只期望權貴從指縫間施捨一點資源，實在令支持體育發展的朋友扼腕長嘆。
Having seen the members of the Sports subsection of the Election Committee giving collective support to Carrie LAM eagerly not daring to mention the blunders of the Government in sports policy but merely hoping the influential and powerful will let some resources slip through their fingers we being supportive of sports development cannot but sigh disgruntledly
說完體育，也可談談與我們息息相關的發展。
After sports I will now talk about development which is closely related to us
今年施政報告關於土地規劃的部分，一如既往，方向離不開覓地、造地、不斷開發、不斷發展。
In the part on land planning in the Policy Address this year as in the past the direction is focused on the identification creation continual exploration and development of land
香港過去經歷多場土地運動，天星皇后碼頭運動、反高鐵、反新界東北，以及鬧至滿城風雨的橫州事件，但政府依然未有改弦更張，依舊繼續"盲搶地"，令人極度失望。
Hong Kong has experienced a number of movements against land development in the past including the campaign against the demolition of Queens Pier and Star Ferry Pier the protest against the Express Rail Link the protest against the North East New Territories New Development Areas plan and the Wang Chau incident which has stirred up a hornets nest in the city . Despite all of these the Government has not changed its approach but continues in its blind scramble for land
隨着港鐵路線開張，市區重建局和發展商近年不斷將香港舊區士紳化，地鐵所到之處無一幸免。
With the inauguration of various lines of MTR the Urban Renewal Authority URA and developers have brought the old districts of Hong Kong into gentrification in recent years and none of the places reached by MTR is spared
不單是加多近街臨時花園，政府還選定維園、修頓這兩個重要"市肺"，想以公私營合作的方式，開發這數個地方的地下空間。
Cadogan Street Park is not the only venue affected for the Government has also identified the Victoria Park and the Southorn Playground the two major lungs of the city for the development of underground space at various locations through public - private partnership
土地種花不種金，政府偏偏要逆向而行，大興土木，移除樹木和草地，奪去市民的綠化空間。
Land should be used for planting flowers but not gold yet the Government has to do the contrary by initiating large - scale construction projects which resulted in the removal of trees and lawns depriving the public of green space
群眾對各種不公義事件或自由權利的侵害，初則憤怒，繼而習慣，然後冷漠和接受現狀，並將之合理化以自我解嘲，最後......
In the face of incidents involving injustice or the infringement of freedoms and rights the people will be angry in the beginning but then they will grow accustomed to it become apathetic and eventually accept the status quo . They will rationalize the status quo and find excuses for themselves
對於深層次矛盾，施政報告絲毫沒有着墨，為政者未能減低市民的負擔，解決我們面對的日常煩惱，只是得過且過，更不敢向中國政府表達香港人的訴求，只懂進一步帶領香港步入萬劫不復之境。
Regarding the deep - seated conflicts the Policy Address has not said a word . As the leader of the Government he has failed to alleviate the burden of the public and ease the troubles we face daily other than merely muddling along . He dares not convey the aspirations of the people of Hong Kong to the Chinese Government and is leading Hong Kong towards an eternal failure
因此，我們必須提出屬於香港人的香港願景，不是流於從管治者的視線出發。
Therefore we must put forth the vision of Hong Kong that comes from the people of Hong Kong but not from the perspective of the ruling
我們提出民主自決、還政於民，就是要補足上述港人不能控制的領域。
Our proposal for achieving democratic self - determination and returning power to the people is to complement the aforementioned aspects over which the people of Hong Kong have no control
可是，對民主運動而言，過 去1年卻是波譎雲詭、暗湧處處。
However in the context of democratic movement the past year was a turbulent year with lots of hidden challenges
我們要在香港的政治、社會、文化管治架構中，全面、普及而透明地吸納香港社會整體的意見。
We have to collect the views of society as a whole in Hong Kong under the political social and cultural administration structure in Hong Kong
我們爭取真普選，廢除八三一框架，推動法定機構民主化，重設三級議會，這些均是香港人急切爭取，可以改善制度流弊的一些重要訴求。
We strive for genuine universal suffrage the abolition of the framework under the 31 August Decision the promotion of the democratization of statutory organizations and the reinstatement of the three - tiered system of councils which are all significant aspirations of the people of Hong Kong
我們提出的民主自決，並不單純談論2047年之後的前途問題，更重要的是在社會、經濟、民生等各方面，我們可以重新掌管我們的管治架構。
Our proposal for democratic self - determination does not only focus on Hong Kongs prospect after 2047 but more importantly on the various aspects of society economy and peoples livelihood and so on . We can retake control of the administrative structure
這些改變相當不容易，也必然會撼動既得利益者。
These changes will not come easy and people with vested interests will be shaken
我們不能期待這些改變會由天而降，或是由當權者施捨，而是需要每個人盡最大努力爭取，為大眾謀求最大的幸福。
We cannot expect these changes to come down from heaven or be offered by the ruling . All of us have to strive with their utmost for these changes to attain the greatest well - being of the public
"與威權政府及其代言人進行交易，以為一時交易可以換取長遠的利益或一時風平浪靜，但魔鬼最終要取走浮士德的靈魂，毫無善意。
Whoever enters into a deal with the authoritative government and its representative may think that the interim deal may be rewarded with some long - term interests or temporary peace yet the devil would take the soul of Faust for the devil has no mercy
我們提出民主自決，便是要由每一個香港人重新決定我們的未來，這條路可能崎嶇不平，可能要孤身上路，可能會在機場被人毆打，也可能在街上被人唾罵，但既然這是正確的道路，那不理面對多少阻撓，我們必然會繼續堅持下去，直至達到目標。
We advocate democratic self - determination for we desire that every citizen of Hong Kong can make decisions on our future again . The road may be rough we may have to go on a lone journey we may be beaten at the airport and we may be spat and rebuked on the street but if this is the right way no matter how many hurdles we have to overcome on the way we must persevere till our target is achieved
改變不會自然到來，而是需要經過不斷的抗爭。
Changes will not come naturally but only after an unwavering fight
我們看見朱經緯毆打途人，至今超過800天，他依然逍遙法外；我們看見有很多警察濫權、濫捕的情況，在不同的社會運動、抗爭場合，只要沒有被攝影機攝錄，或是政府向電視台施加壓力，有人害怕、有人退縮，便無從檢控，公義很多時候均不得伸張。
We saw CHU King - wai hitting a passer - by which happened over 800 days ago yet he is still free from punishment . We have seen many cases involving abuse of power and arbitrary arrests by police officers in various social movements and protests yet if these scenarios were not recorded by camera or if the Government should exert pressure on television stations some people would be scared and back off and prosecution could not be initiated against them . More often than not justice is not done
我認為這對社會發放了一個正面的信息。
I think this has conveyed a positive message to society
今次很可能是我最後一次，亦是唯一一次就施政報告辯論發言，無論結果如何，我相信香港人不會放棄對民主自由的追求，年青人亦會繼續為香港光明的未來而奮鬥。
This may be the last time and the only time I speak in the debate on the Policy Address . No matter how I trust the people of Hong Kong will not give up their pursuit for democracy and freedom and young people will continue to fight for a bright future for Hong Kong
不論我們數位受着司法覆核、受着政府打壓的議員，最終是因為體制的權力、體制的壓迫，而落得任何下場，我們為了香港的民主未來所堅持的心，也不會因為我們被無理踢出議會而退卻。
We the few Members subject to judicial review and the suppression of the Government do not know how we will end up under the power and suppression of the system yet our hearts to persevere for a democratic future for Hong Kong will not give in merely because we are kicked out of the legislature unreasonably
至於我，不論遭遇多大的挫折，我仍然會繼續在大家的身邊。
As for me even in the face of the biggest setback I will stand by all of you
事實上， 自梁振英上場後，一直實施專權獨裁管治，從來沒有將上述任何一項核心價值放在眼內，由他提出維護這些價值，真的非常諷刺。
In fact since LEUNG Chun - ying took office he has adopted authoritative and dictatorial rule never respecting any of the core values mentioned . What an irony it is for him to mention upholding these values
政府常以社會未有共識為由，拖延甚至拒絕立法。
The Government often uses the lack of consensus as an excuse for procrastination and refusal to enact legislation
在性小眾歧視上，現時仍有很多宗教、家庭團體以立法會傷害言論自由甚至鼓勵同性戀等我認為是非常荒謬的原因反對。
Regarding discrimination against sexual minorities at present many religious and family organizations oppose the enactment of legislation on the grounds that it will inhibit the freedom of speech and even encourage homosexuality . I consider this reason extremely ridiculous
面對這些謬誤，如果政府為了避免處理反對意見，坐着等待這些團體有一天突然想通，然後才說取得共識可進行立法，而非牽頭消除歧視，這其實是置性小眾於不義。
In the face of these fallacies if the Government tries to evade addressing these opposition views by merely sitting idly by to wait for these organizations to be enlightened one day hoping it can proceed with the legislative process by saying a consensus has been reached by then and if the Government resorts to this approach rather than taking the lead to eliminate discrimination it is doing injustice to the sexual minorities
面對如此嚴重的政治打壓，公民社會卻是意外的平靜。
In the face of such severe political suppression the civil society remains unexpectedly quiet
他們在事務委員會"十問九唔答"，視議員的提問於不顧。
At the meetings of the relevant panel they gave no answers to nine out of ten questions raised by Members simply disregarding the questions of Members
儘管全部都是去政治化的操作，但最少有利民生，令香港社會邁向善治。
Though these initiatives were all targeted at depoliticization they at least brought benefit to peoples livelihood making Hong Kong geared towards good governance
相反，在雨傘運動、旺角衝突後，香港政府在今年的施政報告完全沒有相應措施政策，只懂諉過於人。
Nonetheless after the Umbrella Movement and the clash in Mong Kok the Hong Kong Government has not proposed any corresponding policies in the Policy Address this year other than laying the blame on others
有一次，我跟一些青年組織開會，他們表示曾與青年事務委員會會面，而劉鳴煒主席一坐下便表明他只是來聽大家意見，他是沒有實權的。
I once had a meeting with youth organizations . They told me that at a meeting with CoY Chairman LAU Ming - wai said right after they had sat down that he was there to listen to their views only for he had no real powers
大家可想而知，這個裝飾的委員會完全不能解決政府政策沒有聆聽年青人聲音的流弊。
Members can imagine that CoY which only serves a decoration purpose can in no way address the Governments inadequacy in heeding the views of young people in policymaking
劉鳴煒主席37歲了，被人笑是"離地"。
Chairman LAU Ming - wai is now 37 years old and he is teased as unrealistic
要有好的青年政策，長遠而言，是要將年青人的聲音納入施政，成為政策考慮的重要視野。
For the purpose of a sound youth policy in the long run the voice of young people should be incorporated into the administration to become a major perspective in policy considerations
政府亦應正視青年對社會發展和政策的意見，在長遠政策、社區營造、文娛康體發展、民政事務等層面，提供不同渠道讓青年參與。
The Government must face squarely the views expressed by young people on social development and policies providing various channels for youth participation on different fronts like long - term policies community building development in recreation sports and culture and home affairs and so on
我們面對的是一套由上而下、紀律嚴明的應試主導操練制度，而非培育學生，令學生探索自己可以如何發展。
We face a top - down examination - led drilling system emphasizing strict discipline but not nurturing students to explore self - development
我們的教育局，我們的政府是否自打嘴巴呢？
Our Education Bureau and the Government are slapping their own faces are they not?
自幼稚園開始便要做家課，上小學便要參加TSA，升讀中學便要考文憑試，身邊的人均會告訴學生，無法升讀大學就完蛋，讀書不成就是"廢青"。
Students have to do homework starting from kindergarten take part in TSA in primary education and sit for the DSE in secondary education . Students are surrounded by people telling them that they will have no future if they cannot get a place in universities and they will be waste youth if they fail in their studies
教育制度的每一環也在逼迫學生，接受不一定適合他們的"工廠式"教育，我就是一個很好的例子。
Every part of the education system is pressing students to receive factory - style education that may not necessarily be suitable for them . I am a typical example
面對社會積年累月的矛盾，我們可以視而不見嗎？
In the face of the long - standing accumulated conflicts can we just turn a blind eye to them?
標準化教育的後果是扼殺大家的多元性，沒有人敢膽脫離傳統教育追尋自己的興趣事業，所有人也被一條線衡量成就及天分。
The consequence of standardized education is stifling the diversity of students . No one dare deviate from the conventional education system to pursue a career in which they are interested for our success and talents are measured by one single line
當我們的教育沒有照顧每個人的獨特性而因材施教，沒有培育學生的好奇心及創意，只要求他們善於背誦應考，學生的痛苦將會由內心慢慢滲出骨髓。
When our education fails in teaching students according to their individual attributes and nurture their curiosity and creativity but can only train them to be good at reciting and examination the pain endured by students will migrate slowly from their hearts to their bones
教育不應該是一條直線跑道，學生不應該"贏在起跑線"上。
Education is not a straight running track and students should not win at the starting line
當局應改善教師薪酬、尊重教師專業，讓"內行人管內行人"，不要委任一些"廢柴"擔任人力資源局長。
The authorities should enhance teachers remuneration respect the teaching profession and let insiders manage insiders . Besides please stop appointing those useless persons to be the Secretary for manpower
今年的基建開支增加300多億元，高達1,072億元，但福利開支只是按年增加95億元，其中65億元用於長者生活津貼。
The infrastructure expenditure this year has increased by more than 30 billion and reaches up to 107.2 billion but the welfare expenditure has only increased by 9.5 billion of which 6.5 billion is spent on the Old Age Living Allowance OALA
很多香港人也問我這值得嗎？
Many Hong Kong people have asked me if this is worthy to develop infrastructure
現時賣地收入只能撥入基本工程儲備基金，基金又只能用作興建大型基建，結果在基建落成後，一方面推高樓價、物價，另一方面又嚴重超支"榨乾"政府儲備，要政府尋覓更多土地，或將更多土地拋售來"填氹"，造成居民被迫遷、生態環境受損和樓價物價再被推高等問題。
At present the revenues from land sales can only be allocated to the Capital Works Reserve Fund which can only be used for constructing large - scale infrastructures . After the completion of the infrastructures property prices and commodities prices will be pushed up; and on the other hand serious cost overruns have sapped government reserves and the Government has to identify more land or put up more land for sale to pay the overruns . As a result residents are forced to relocate the ecological environment is damaged and property prices and commodity prices are pushed up further
這就是我們所說的"基建旋轉門"的運作，這也揭露了這個城市的悲歌權貴輸送利益，賺到盤滿缽滿，但香港人和土地卻要付出嚴重代價。
That is the operation of the infrastructure revolving door which also exposes the sad tragedy of this city the transfer of interests among bigwigs . While the bigwigs get filthy rich Hong Kong people have to pay a high price in terms of money and land
但是，增加基建開支正正與這種理念背道而馳。
However the increase in infrastructure expenditure is precisely running contrary to this concept
近年基建超支的數額已經難以預計，追加撥款對於政府的財政構成極不穩定的因素。
The amount of infrastructure overruns in recent years has been difficult to anticipate and supplementary provisions create very unstable factors affecting public finances
政府不停發展基建，這就可見真章。
This can be clearly seen from the Governments continuous infrastructure development
政府過去10年派出3,200億元的"糖"，當中67%派給納稅人和商業機構，假如政府用1,000億元成立全民退休保障的種 子基金，就能大大改善香港長者的保障。
In the past 10 years the Government gave out candies worth of 320 billion of which 67 % were given to taxpayers and business organizations . If the Government used 100 billion to set up a seed fund for universal retirement protection it would greatly improve the protection for the elderly in Hong Kong
是否慶祝有香港同胞乘坐"洗頭艇"返回大陸？
Do we celebrate that a compatriot in Hong Kong has returned to the Mainland on a shampoo boat?
在這個時候，我們應該要檢討，而不是慶祝。
We need reviews but not celebrations at this time
社會的經濟產業仍然非常單一，層級化非常嚴重，很多職業得不到社會和政府的尊重和重視。
Our industries are still very homogeneous and there is a very strict social hierarchy . Hence many occupations are not well - respected and valued by the community and the Government
