警務人員施放催淚彈驅散示威者時均戴上防毒面罩，但同場的警犬卻沒有任何保護裝備。
While the police officers all wore gas masks when firing tear gas rounds to disperse demonstrators the police dogs at the scene had no protective gear
我現在具體問他，當局有否就動物，包括警犬吸入催淚煙後對其健康的影響進行任何科學研究，例如透過參考本地或外國的學術文獻，了解動物吸入催淚煙後對其身體的影響？
I have here a specific question for him . Have the authorities conducted any scientific studies by for instance drawing reference from local or overseas academic literature on the impact of having inhaled tear gas on the health of animals including police dogs in order to understand how the health of animals will be affected after they have inhaled tear gas?
至於我的補充質詢，我同意李家超所言，即大多數警務人員均奉公守法，只有少數是害群之馬，但我覺得奇怪的是，主體答覆第三部分指警隊推行的是自願驗毒計劃。
As for my supplementary question I agree with John LEE that most police officers are law - abiding and there are only a handful of black sheep within the Force but it is puzzling to me that the Secretary pointed out in part 3 of the main reply that the Police rolled out merely a voluntary drug test scheme
正因為這樣，不管這些議員如何辯解，說他們這些不是"拉布"的行為只是想吸引公眾關注政府的政策措施、向政府施加壓力，爭取甚麼甚麼，亦無助減輕市民大眾對這些"政治show"的厭煩感覺。
As such no matter how these Members have defended their actions claiming that they are not filibustering but only trying to arouse public concern on some policies and measures of the Government thereby imposing pressure on the Government and striving for certain causes the publics annoyance towards these political shows would not be lessened
主席，一如近年立法會審議撥款法案時的辯論，今年議員亦就《2017年撥款條例草案》提出多項虛張聲勢的修正案，肆意要削減指定問責局長、政府部門首長，以至政策局和部門全年的人員薪酬或運作開支等。
Chairman as in debates on the Appropriation Bill in recent years some Members have proposed many amendments to the Appropriation Bill 2017 the Bill . Such amendments are merely a game of bluff seeking indiscriminately to reduce the annual emoluments of certain accountability Directors of Bureaux and heads of government departments as well as reduce the emoluments of all staff members and operating expenditures of some Policy Bureaux or government departments . This year was a bit different from previous years because some filibustering Members had as reported in unison severed their ties with filibustering
在情感上，對於國家和港人來說，這也是一件值得慶祝的大事，而特區政府亦已預留撥款籌辦各項慶祝活動。
Sentimentally China and people of Hong Kong should celebrate the anniversary and the SAR Government has earmarked funding for various celebration events
主席，首先，事實很清楚明白。
Chairman first of all the facts are very clear
香港自1997年回歸以來，都是按《基本法》實行原有資本主義制度及生活方式。
Since the reunification in 1997 the previous capitalist system and way of life of Hong Kong have been preserved according to the Basic Law
如果沒有"高度自治"，香港特區如何會享有自己的行政權、立法權，以及獨立的司法及終審權呢？
If a high degree of autonomy is not present in Hong Kong how can the HKSAR enjoy executive legislative and independent judicial power and the power of final adjudication? . There is still great diversity in our media
傳媒依然百花齊放，港人的言論自由、新聞自由、出版自由有否減少？
Have freedom of speech freedom of the press and freedom of publication enjoyed by Hong Kong people been reduced?
慶祝回歸不代表我們不能同時更積極改善社會經濟成果的分配，以及基層住屋問題；反之，按照這套負面的思維，大抵這些議員希望所有慶祝活動都應該取消吧。
In celebrating the reunification we can still take active steps to improve the sharing of the fruits of economic prosperity and address the housing of the grass roots . Nevertheless these Members with a negative mentality may probably want to cancel all celebration activities
如果真的到了今時今日仍然抱着對抗的心態來看回歸，那麼你們有否想到，最近"牛下女車神"香港選手李慧詩在2017年場地單車世界錦標賽的表現牽動了港人的心，而這場體壇盛事亦是香港慶回歸的其中一項活動？
If to date some Members still treat the reunification with a hostile mentality are they aware that the 2017 UCI Track Cycling World Championships a major sports event in which the performance of Hong Kong athlete Sarah LEE―the Bike Goddess of Lower Ngau Tau Kok Estate―has touched the hearts of Hong Kong people is one of the activities to celebrate the reunification?
主席，如果我們的議員真是這樣目光如豆，只顧政治宣泄，死抱着對抗思維，一概抗拒慶祝回歸、抗拒與內地交流，與祖國切割，絕非本港主流社會的想法和願望，亦絕非香港之福。
Chairman if our Members are really so short - sighted whose only concern is to air political grievances and if they insist on adopting a confrontational approach by rejecting all reunification celebration activities rejecting exchanges with the Mainland and cutting themselves off with the Motherland they definitely do not represent the mainstream views and aspirations of society and such an approach will surely not benefit Hong Kong in any way
其實，社會大眾包括提出修正案的議員也不會認真看待，因為大家知道，這些足以令香港成為無政府狀態的修正案，根本不會在議會內得到足夠的支持，可予以通過。
In fact the general public―including Members who have proposed amendments―will not treat these amendments seriously . The reason is that they know that these amendments which can throw Hong Kong into a state of anarchy will not get sufficient support in the Legislative Council and be passed
根據國際貨幣基金組織和經濟合作與發展組織的經濟預測，中國今年經濟可望有8%或以上的增長，將會貢獻全球增長的三分之一以上，成為經濟增長的重要引擎。
According to the economic forecasts of the International Monetary Fund and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Chinas economy is expected to grow by 8 % or more this year contributing more than one third of global growth thereby becoming an important engine of economic growth
在回歸後的23年期間，香港在實踐"一國兩制"的過程中確實遇到很多新情況和新問題。
During the 23 years after the reunification Hong Kong has indeed encountered many new situations and problems in the process of implementing one country two systems
這份施政報告將發揮"一國兩制"的獨特優勢，並積極融入國家發展大局作為引領經濟發展的首要策略，以及包含很多促進內地與香港融合發展的重大措施，令人非常鼓舞。
This Policy Address has regarded capitalizing on the unique advantages under one country two systems and integrating proactively into national development as the overall strategy guiding economic development . The Policy Address also contains many significant measures to promote the integrated development of the Mainland and Hong Kong which is very encouraging
代理主席，香港作為大灣區的一分子，在內地這個有香港10倍人口的龐大市場建立內銷管道及拓展進口分銷業務，進而搶佔龐大市場，在內循環分一杯羹。
Deputy President GBA is a huge market with a population 10 times that of Hong Kong . As part of GBA Hong Kong establishes domestic sales channels and expands importdistribution business in the hope of occupying the huge market and getting a share from domestic circulation
去年本港出口受到中美貿易摩擦，以及歐美等成熟經濟體的市場萎縮拖累，幸好內地內需反彈，帶動經濟回升。
Last year Hong Kongs exports were adversely affected by the China - US trade conflicts and market shrinkage in mature economies such as Europe and the United States . Fortunately the rebound in Mainland domestic demand has driven economic recovery
施政報告內有關促進香港融入大灣區的措施，均十分適切和迫切，不但有助香港造大、造強，鞏固國際金融中心、國際航空樞紐的地位，以及幫助港企開拓內地市場，亦有助"一國兩制"的實踐，勢將有關經濟活動和運作，以及行業生態帶來大幅度，甚至顛覆性的改變。
The initiatives in the Policy Address for promoting Hong Kongs integration into GBA are highly appropriate and imminent . Such measures help Hong Kong grow bigger and stronger consolidate its status as an international financial centre and an international aviation hub and help Hong Kong enterprises open up the Mainland market . Moreover these measures are conductive to the implementation of one country two systems and will definitely bring about substantial and even drastic changes to the related economic activities and operations as well as their ecosystems
例如，由於過去5屆政府未能夠就《基本法》第二十三條立法，香港出現鼓吹"港獨"、自決、乞求境外勢力干預香港事務、制裁香港等情況，而外國政府和議會亦樂意和變本加厲地介入，利用香港作為滲透內地的基地，以及國際間政治角力的棋子。
For example as the past five terms of governments failed to enact legislation on Article 23 of the Basic Law some people have advocated Hong Kong independence and self - determination and some even begged foreign forces to intervene in Hong Kong affairs and sanction Hong Kong . On the other hand foreign governments and parliaments are more than willing to intervene and the situation has aggravated . They have used Hong Kong as the base for penetration into the Mainland and a pawn for international political wrestling
本港的工商、專業各界均十分熱切期待。
The business and professional sectors in Hong Kong are looking forward to implementing such measures
我促請特區政府在適切情況下，盡早與相關的業界、商會和持份者溝通，讓大家盡早知悉有關的落實時間表和執行細節，以作出相應準備和計劃。
I urge the SAR Government to communicate with the relevant industries business associations and stakeholders as soon as possible under appropriate circumstances so that the various parties can be informed of the implementation timetable and enforcement details as soon as possible and preparations and planning can be made accordingly
在香港，政府已經推出3,000億元的抗疫紓困措施，對公共財政造成不尋常的壓力，的確需要審慎理財。
In Hong Kong the Governments anti - epidemic and relief measures had amounted to 300 billion exerting unusual pressure on public finances and prudent financial management was required
總括而言，政府應該致力刺激作為經濟三頭馬車之一的本地消費，例如可以考慮適時推出消費券，以及應該針對性地向經營受到嚴重打擊的行業提供更多支援，同時可對企業的稅務和政府收費上作出適度的減免，以及退還暫繳稅款等。
To conclude the Government should strive to stimulate local consumption which is one of the three main drivers of the economy . For example it can consider launching consumption vouchers in due course providing more targeted support to industries seriously hit by the epidemic and providing enterprises with appropriate waivers and concessions of taxes and government fees as well as refunding provisional taxes
代理主席，我謹此陳辭亦表明會支持內務委員會主席的議案。
Deputy President with these remarks I support the motion moved by the Chairman of the House Committee
代理主席，在建立健全香港、維護國家安全的法律制度和執行機制方面，法律本身固然重要，但就執行機制方面更要多花心思，確保機制行之有效，否則只會事倍功半。
Deputy President in establishing and improving the legal system and enforcement mechanisms for Hong Kong to safeguard national security the law itself is certainly important but much thought is required for the enforcement mechanisms to ensure their effectiveness; otherwise we will only get half the results with twice the effort
行政長官重申，憲法和《基本法》確立香港特區的憲政秩序，並且充分肯定《香港國安法》對恢復香港社會穩定、維護國家安全的作用。
The Chief Executive reiterates that the Constitution and the Basic Law establish the constitutional order of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR; she also fully affirms the role of the National Security Law in restoring social stability in Hong Kong and maintaining national security
我相信香港的法庭和法官有能力亦有足夠的智慧，可以客觀按照法律專業審理《香港國安法》的案件。
I believe that the courts and judges in Hong Kong have the competence and wisdom to handle cases involving the National Security Law objectively and professionally
在香港的普通法制度下，法庭在處理各類不同法律程序上身經百戰，即使中港兩地法制存有差異仍然不成問題。
Under the common law system of Hong Kong courts have rich experience in handling various legal procedures and despite the differences between the legal systems of China and Hong Kong no problems will arise
然而，在落實"一國兩制"上，特區政府不應該採取凡事消極、被動的態度，等待中央出手或督促，否則便會失去在"一國兩制"方針下，香港"高度自治"的原意。
However in implementing one country two systems the SAR Government should not adopt a negative and passive attitude and wait for the Central Government to take actions or impose supervision; otherwise the original intent of a high degree of autonomy in Hong Kong under the one country two systems policy will be defeated
代理主席，我暫且不談論中小學的教育質素，單就教學時數而言，有調查顯示，三至四成學校的人文學科的《基本法》教學課時是零；近八成學校的中史科教學時數低於15小時，遠少於教育局《中學教育課程指引》所規定的相關課時。
The situation is distressing and warrants reflection . Deputy President I will not discuss the quality of education of primary and secondary schools for the time being . In terms of teaching hours alone surveys have shown that the teaching hour on the Basic Law a humanities subject in 30 % to 40 % of schools is zero; and the teaching hours on the Chinese History subject in nearly 80 % of schools are less than 15 far less than the relevant teaching hours prescribed by the Secondary Education Curriculum Guide of the Education Bureau
本屆政府將中國歷史列為初中獨立必修科，推出新的中史課程，嚴肅處理不稱職和失德的教師是應有之義。
The current - term Government has included Chinese History as an independent compulsory subject for junior secondary students and introduced a new Chinese History curriculum . Stringent actions should be taken against teachers who are incompetent or found misconducted
代理主席，接下來我會談談我期望政府如何發揮有力領導，帶領香港各階層走出疫情，重啟經濟。
Deputy President next I will talk about my expectation of the Government in assuming strong leadership to lead all sectors in Hong Kong out of the epidemic and relaunch the economy
新冠疫情為人類帶來前未有的公共衞生危機，在漫長的抗疫路上，本港醫療系統承受巨大壓力。
The novel coronavirus epidemic has brought an unprecedented public health crisis to mankind . On the long road to fight against the epidemic Hong Kongs healthcare system is under tremendous pressure
當局應該靈活運用國家支援本地抗疫的資源，做好聯防聯控工作，否則香港的醫療系統很可能會不勝負荷。
The authorities should exercise flexibility in the use of resources provided by the country to support our fight against the epidemic and do a good job in collaborative prevention and control; otherwise our healthcare system may be seriously overloaded
代理主席，有效控制疫情是重啟經濟的先決條件，但最近疫情又趨嚴峻。
Deputy President effectively containing the epidemic is a prerequisite for relaunching the economy . Regrettably the epidemic has recently become more rampant
此外，可持續發展委員會有關零碳策略的報告亦提及要"促使社會作出徹底性的轉變邁向低碳生活、加快轉用零碳能源、締造可持續的建築環境、推動交通系統的低碳轉型"，並須緊貼最新綠色科技。
In addition it has also been mentioned in the report of the Council for Sustainable Development on zero - carbon strategy the needs of driving transformative societal change towards low - carbon lifestyles accelerating the shift to zero - carbon energy promoting a sustainable built environment governing transitions toward low - carbon transport systems . Furthermore it is necessary to keep abreast of the latest green technologies
舉例而言，今天香港約75%的電力仍依靠化石燃料，當局是否需要制訂更果斷的能源政策，改從外地採購零碳能源，甚至轉而採取氫能等的新能源策略呢？
For example about 75 % of Hong Kongs electricity generation today still relies on fossil fuels . Is it necessary for the authorities to formulate a more decisive energy policy and switch to the procurement of zero - carbon energy from abroad or even make a change to adopt new energy strategies such as introducing hydrogen energy?
又例如普及電動車方面，政府車隊的電動車數目竟然不加反減。
Another example is concerning popularization of electric vehicles the number of electric vehicles in the government fleet has decreased instead of increasing
土木工程拓展署已於2019年1月聯同香港大學展開可行性研究，並在西貢、屯門龍鼓灘及沙田馬料水的海堤放置生態海岸設施，以及在2019年3月開展實地監察。
The Civil Engineering and Development Department has worked together with the University of Hong Kong and commenced a feasibility study in January 2019 to erect certain facilities in the seawalls of eco - shorelines established in Sai Kung Lung Kwu Tan in Tuen Mun and Ma Liu Shui in Sha Tin . In this connection site monitoring work has been carried out since March 2019
我想經主席詢問局長，作為河水性水域的龍鼓灘，借鑒海外生態保育的案例，在過去一年所作實地監察的結果為何？
I would like to ask the Secretary through the President With reference to overseas ecological conservation projects what were the results of site monitoring work carried out in the river waters of Lung Kwu Tan in the past year?
主席，政府先後推出了兩輪防疫抗疫基金，但仍然有部分行業未能受惠。
President the Government has launched in succession two rounds of the Anti - epidemic Fund but some industries have not benefited
代理主席，政府已就大灣區進行大量正面宣傳，但奈何行政長官早前也感嘆，有人想污名化大灣區，令不少青年人產生誤會，不願意到大灣區工作。
Deputy President the Government has undertaken a lot of publicity work to promote a positive image of the Greater Bay Area . Nevertheless regrettably as the Chief Executive also lamented earlier some people attempted to smear the Greater Bay Area causing misunderstandings among many young people and making them reluctant to go to work in the Greater Bay Area
現行機制應該延至2022年至2023年，根據這個機制，港鐵公司對於個別車程票價可以有額外5%的加幅或減幅的彈性。
The current mechanism should be extended to 2022 - 2023 under which MTRCL has the flexibility to increase or decrease fares by an additional 5 % for individual journeys
港鐵公司正正利用這個彈性，用了6年才能理順西鐵綫全綫按距離收費，但如果用這個機制解決屯馬綫"短貴長平"的問題，便需要耗時很久，有人預計要十年八載，這麼長時間實在有違社會責任和公眾利益。
Precisely by making use of this flexibility MTRCL has spent six years in rationalizing the distance - based fares on WRL . But if this mechanism is used to resolve the problem of higher fares for shorter journeys on TML it will take a very long time and some estimate that it will take 8 to 10 years . If the period is so long it will be going against corporate social responsibility and public interests
誰會希望自己的家園暴露在火災危險中？
Who would like to expose their homes to fire hazards?
例如，《條例》附表2要求，用作住用用途的樓宇必須提供消防喉轆、消防水缸、以耐火結構分隔牆保護樓梯及提供防火門等。
For example Schedule 2 to the Ordinance requires that buildings for domestic purposes must provide hosereel system and fire service water tank protect staircases with separating walls of fire resisting construction and provide fire doors
在地區工作的同事告訴我們，鰂魚涌濱海街一帶的舊唐樓，數年前有消防處職員巡查，後來居民收到指示，要求他們在每一層樓的後樓梯安裝防火門。
According to our colleagues who undertook district work a few years ago the FSD staff had upon inspection issued directions to residents of some tenement buildings along Pan Hoi Street at Quarry Bay requiring them to provide a fire door at the rear staircase on each floor
當時居民感到十分無奈，因為消防處要求他們安裝的看來不是太平門，而是"死門"。
The residents felt very helpless . For them the fire door required by FSD was actually a death door rather than an escape door
後來經過多番交涉，消防處才肯豁免他們安裝這道門。
It was only after numerous negotiations that FSD exempted them from installing the fire door
代理主席，1996年尖沙咀嘉利大廈大火、2011年馬頭圍道舊唐樓大火，以至今年發生的觀塘迷你倉大火，都提醒我們大廈消防安全的重要性，因為這事關乎性命安全。
Deputy President the blaze at Garley Building in Tsim Sha Tsui in 1996 the fire in a tenement building at Ma Tau Wai Road in 2011 and the conflagration at mini - storages in Kwun Tong this year have reminded us of the importance of fire safety of buildings as this is a matter of life and death
但我們曾經翻查數據，發現截至2015年11月底，消防處及屋宇署巡查了7,775幢舊樓，並各自向5,321幢樓宇的業主及佔用人發出17萬張消防安全指示。
However after looking up the statistics we find that as at the end of November 2015 the Fire Services Department FSD and the Buildings Department BD have inspected a total of 7 775 old buildings and altogether issued 170 000 fire safety directions directions to the owners and occupiers of 5 321 buildings . Of those 7 000 - odd buildings the owners of some 5 000 buildings have received the directions accounting for as high as 68 % which is indeed very alarming
坦白說，我想作為家長的都知道，其實現時除BCA外，學生之所以面對壓力或操練問題，其實還與兩個因素十分有關鏈。
Frankly as parents they all know that at present apart from BCA the problem of excessive pressure or drilling face by students are in fact related to two important factors
這故事後來成為大家熟悉的"三人成虎"的成語，用以比喻謠言再三重複，亦會令人信以為真。
The story later became this familiar Chinese idiom which is used to describe how people would believe in a rumour if it is repeated many times
主席，魏王當時沒有電腦、沒有手機、沒有互聯網也會"中招"，所以，今日香港才有剛才很多議員提及的"爆眼女"事件，太子站這些荒謬事件。
President at the time of the King of Wei there was no computer nor was there any mobile phone or the Internet . But still the King of Wei believed in the rumours . It thus makes sense that the rumours as ridiculous as the stories of the girl with a ruptured eyeball and deaths at the MTR Prince Edward Station which many Members mentioned just now could have spread in Hong Kong now
所以，無論如何說，也應該制定一項針對網上虛假資訊的法例，才能對症下藥。
So in any case a law against online false information should be enacted as the right remedy to the problem
主席，中國人有一句成語名為"三人成虎"，說的是甚麼呢？
President there is a Chinese idiom 三人成虎 which means three people spreading reports of a tiger makes you believe there is one around
"然後龐葱表示："大王，其實大街根本不會出現老虎，這是清楚不過的事實。
PONG then said to the King Your Highness there cannot be any tiger on the street . This is a clear fact
主席，港島半山區的交通安全問題是一個老問題，而波老道的交通安全問題，可說是港島多年來的重要地區議題。
President the road safety problem at Mid - levels on Hong Kong Island has been a long - standing issue and that on Borrett Road can be considered an important district issue on Hong Kong Island over the years
我記得中西區區議會在2016年曾針對波老道這個問題作出詳細討論，而當時政府表示，警方會在繁忙時間協助維持交通，運輸署亦會規定重型車輛必須申請許可證等，希望這些措施能確保波老道的交通安全。
I remember that in 2016 the Central and Western District Council exhaustively discussed this problem of Borrett Road . At that time the Government said that the Police would assist in maintaining traffic order during rush hours and TD would require heavy vehicles to apply for permits etc . It was hoped that these measures could ensure road safety on Borrett Road
我想問局長，過去數年所提出的措施是否根本未能解決波老道的交通安全問題？
I wish to ask the Secretary whether the measures rolled out in the past few years were actually unable to resolve the road safety problem of Borrett Road
究竟局方可否承諾何時能有一個徹底完善的方法，防止波老道再次發生致命交通意外？
In fact can the Bureau undertake when it can provide a thorough and complete solution to prevent recurrence of fatal traffic accidents on Borrett Road?
學術界提出M型社會的現象已經"殺至埋身"，大家也意識到貧富懸殊兩極化，對社會只會帶來更多不穩的因素，特別是當年輕一代缺乏上流的機會，社會怨氣只會越來越大。
The phenomenon of an M - shaped society put forward by the academic field is already emerging and we are all aware that a polarized wealth gap will only bring about more uncertain factors particularly when the younger generation is devoid of opportunities for upward mobility there will be more and more social grievances
小組委員會對張舉能法官提出以下期望，包括以更積極的態度招聘人才加入司法機構，以應對司法人手的短缺；解決案件積壓的問題，尤其是關乎近年社會事件的案件及源於免遣返聲請的司法覆核個案；加快在法庭使用科技；以及過去兩任終審法院首席法官多番強調有關維護司法公正等重要事宜。
The Subcommittee has expressed the following expectations for Mr Justice Andrew CHEUNG being more proactive in recruitment of talents to the Judiciary to address the shortage of judicial manpower; clearing up the backlog of cases especially those related to recent social events and judicial review cases arising from non - refoulement claims; expediting the use of technology in courts and other important issues such as upholding an impartial judiciary as the former two Chief Justices of CFA have stressed time and again
代理主席，自由黨同意小組委員會提出的上述種種期望具迫切性，期望張舉能法官繼任後能人如其名，"有能力地舉得起、有技巧地放得下"。
Deputy President the Liberal Party agrees that there is urgency for the above mentioned expectations expressed by the Subcommittee and it is hoped that after Mr Justice Andrew CHEUNG assumes office he will as suggested by his Chinese name have the ability to meet the expectations and the skills to let go
關於張舉能法官的終審法院首席法官任命，坦白說，在社會上獲得廣泛支持，對於香港較為撕裂的社會現況來說，實在是難能可貴。
With regard to the appointment of Mr Justice Andrew CHEUNG as the Chief Justice of CFA honestly speaking the fact that the appointment has received widespread support in the community is rare and highly laudable at a time when Hong Kongs society is severely divided
另一方面，有人批評他立場保守，判案時對全國人民代表大會常務委員會釋法照單全收，捍衞法治不力。
On the other hand some people criticized his conservative stance saying that he uncritically adopted the interpretation of the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress NPCSC when making judgments thus failing to defend the rule of law
"張舉能法官在香港土生土長，在港接受法律訓練，亦在香港開展法律專業工作。
Mr Justice CHEUNG is a home - grown judge with both his legal training and professional career rooted in Hong Kong
細看"張官"在上訴法庭的判詞，梁游代表律師指在三權分立原則下，法庭不應干預立法會關於宣誓的運作。
Regarding the judgment handed down by Justice CHEUNG in the Court of Appeal the solicitor acting on behalf of LEUNG and YAU pointed out that the court should not under the principle of separation of powers interfere with the Legislative Council oath - taking incident
《宣誓及聲明條例》第21條有關不遵從宣誓後果的條文，亦不屬於《基本法》第一百零四條的憲制要求。
Also section 21 of the Oaths and Declarations Ordinance on the consequence of non - compliance is not a constitutional requirement imposed under Article 104 of the Basic Law
人大常委會就《基本法》第一百零四條釋法，實際上修改了《基本法》，法庭宣布無效。
NPCSCs interpretation of Article 104 of the Basic Law has actually amended the Basic Law thus the court should declare the interpretation null and void
坦白說，既然梁游二人以香港的憲制安排為上訴理據，上訴法庭又怎能對有關憲制安排的問題避重就輕，不予回應？
Frankly speaking since LEUNG and YAU appealed on the basis of the constitutional arrangement of Hong Kong how could the Court of Appeal evade the important question of constitutional arrangement and make no response?
釋法對香港的法院具有約束力，《基本法》並無賦權本港法院處理人大釋法是否實質修改《基本法》的問題，不能據此宣布人大釋法無效。
Given that the interpretation is binding on the courts of Hong Kong and the Basic Law has not empowered any local courts to deal with the question of whether NPCSCs interpretation has materially amended the Basic Law the court cannot declare NPCSCs interpretation null and void
實際上，首席法官的主要職責是保證香港特區的整個司法制度有效運作，以秉持公義，當中涉及大量司法行政、人員和流程管理的實務工作需要處理，擁有豐富 的司法行政經驗，較單純擁有豐富的法律知識來得重要，這是不爭的事實。
In fact it is the major duty of the Chief Justice to ensure that the entire judicial system of HKSAR operates effectively to uphold justice . This involves a great deal of practical work in respect of the administration of justice as well as the management of personnel and case flow . Therefore it is an indisputable fact that having rich experience in the administration of justice is more essential than simply having sound legal knowledge
坦白說，就是香港有些人不滿現實，不管是政治現實還是法律現實，總之是要挑戰現實，不顧後果。
Frankly speaking some peoples dissatisfaction with the reality be it political or legal has prompted them to challenge the reality disregarding the consequences
