重點是民政事務局的資源運用何以如此傾斜，以及這種資源運用模式對青年人有否幫助。
The questions at issue are why the allocation of resources by the Home Affairs Bureau has been so tilted and whether this approach of resource allocation is conducive to young people
如果是這樣的話，中聯辦或中共便應該自掏腰包，而不應動用香港人的公帑。
If this is really the case LOCPG or CPC should pay out of their own pockets and should not use the public funds of Hong Kong people
其實香港的教育問題，絕對不只是一位"廢柴"局長所引起的問題。
As a matter of fact the problem with Hong Kongs education system is definitely not merely caused by such an inept Secretary but originated from the education policy of the Government as a whole
教育政策一直以來倒行逆施，與正宗的、真正的教育旨趣距離越來越遠。
Our education policy has always been regressive and perverse and has deviated further and further away from the proper and genuine objectives of education
香港的教育一直以來都強調競爭，我作為教師，其實相當痛心。
In Hong Kong the education system has all along emphasized on competition . As a teacher I am deeply grieved
但是，香港的教育制度一味強調競爭，由幼稚園、小學開始便操練、操練、再操練，只強調訓練他們讀、寫、聽、講和背誦的能力，他們變成一部機器。
However the education system of Hong Kong only lays emphasis on competition . From kindergarten to primary school children have to undergo drilling and further drilling . Schools only provide training to improve students skills in reading writing listening speaking and memorizing turning them into machines
其實每個人均有其個人的價值和才能，但香港的教育制度有否讓他們發展所長、肯定自我？
Actually everyone has his value and capability but does our education system allow people to give full play to their strengths and gain self - assurance?
問題近年在我們的學生身上，已經一一顯示。
These problems have been manifested in our students
芬蘭是一個好例子，全世界均認為芬蘭的教育制度是最好的制度，它強調國內每名學生均同樣重要，採取跨學科模式，希望用主題教育令學生不會僵化地學習，以一個主題貫穿眾多知識，而且不論哪個學生走在前、哪個落後，他們都不會放棄。
Finland provides us with a good example as its education system is regarded by the world as the best . In Finland each student is equally important and through a cross - subject mode and teaching by topics it is hoped that students can learn in a lively manner and acquire various kinds of knowledge linked up by a topic . Hence though some students learn faster and some slower no one will give up learning
對於表現欠佳的學生，他們只會投放更多資源和關心去培養他們。
For students whose performances are not up to par more resources and attention will be given to nurture them
學生得到的是平等尊重，走在前的不會不尊重落後的，而落後的，也會感到社會對他們的關懷，嘗試發掘自己的才華，珍惜自己的生命，這才是真正的一視同仁。
Each student receives the same respect . Those who perform better will not despise the slow learners while the slow learners feeling the care given to them by society will try to explore their own talents and cherish their lives . This is genuine fair play
除了課程單一外，其背後精神也相當單一，就是"成者為王，敗者為寇"，"成功靠父幹"，總之我父親有錢，我便可以入讀師資較佳、資源較充裕的學校，而窮人便會跨代貧窮，沒有辦法。
Apart from a unitary curriculum the spirit behind is all the same which is the victor becomes king and the vanquished becomes bandit and success hinges on fathers help . In other words if I have a rich father I can go to a school with better teachers and more resources but the children of the poor will still be poor and they cannot break the cycle of intergenerational poverty . The school curriculum is unitary and not much choice is available
孩子從小至大，我們教他們的，究竟是我們是同一群人，應互相珍惜地活在一個社會中，抑或是我們是敵人，要互相踐踏？
Do we teach children since their early childhood that they should regard other members of the community as people of the same group and cherish each other or do we teach children that other members of the community are their enemies and they should trample on one another?
因此，面對多元的人生道路，很多學生在走了一段實業、工科的路後，發現自己其他知識不足，工作數年後，會重返大學，這便是人生軌道上的多元選擇。
Having a diversified path in their life many students will return to the university when they find that their knowledge is insufficient after working a few years in the industrial sector . There are many choices offered to them on the path of their lives
教育最重要的是培養學生的同理心及自我珍惜的精神，讓他們有意志發揮才華。
The most important function of education is to cultivate students empathy and spirit of self - cherishing so that they have the will to develop their talents
可是，當權者偏偏以這個階段學習迅速為藉口，不斷操練學生，令他們成為一部機器，令他們失去同理心，失去對自己的愛護，這是全世界最大的罪行，因為這樣會徹底摧毀了下一代的生命。
However those in power incessantly drill students in this stage on the pretext that this is their prime learning time hence turning students into machines and depriving them of empathy and a sense of self - love . This is the biggest abomination in the whole world as it totally ruins the life of the next generation
我絕非因為對官員好而只削減他們1個月薪酬，於我而言，他們不剖腹自盡，根本對不起香港人。
I only propose to reduce one months remuneration of officials absolutely not because I want to be nice to them . To me if they do not commit hara - kiri they simply could not atone for their sins committed against the people of Hong Kong
最有趣的是，政府在幾乎毫無諮詢或隨便諮詢的情況下，便說《香港2030+》已獲通過，接着說一籃子"大白象"基建已徵詢過意見，並已獲通過，現在要進入技術性研究階段。
The most interesting thing is that the Government announced without doing any serious consultation that the Hong Kong 2030 had been passed . Later it said that a series of white elephant infrastructure projects had also gone through consultation and had been endorsed and that the projects would now enter the technical study stage
其實，我想大家應仍記得，在2014年11月，立法會工務小組委員會已就這個人工島作出討論，但當時社會提出重大反對聲音，反對再麻木興建這些"大白象"基建，結果政府撤回申請。
In fact I believe Members should still remember the meeting of our Public Works Subcommittee held in November 2014 in which we discussed the funding proposal for the artificial islands . There was strong opposition in society . People opposed the Government over blindly constructing these white elephant projects
我請政府認真地做好一份有規劃、有政策的人口估算，如果勞動人口真的急劇上升，政府便應還我全民退休保障；如果勞動人口下降，便應剷除《香港2030+》的東大嶼都會。
I really must urge the Government to make a serious and proper population projection based on good planning and a sound policy? . If the projection truly indicates a dramatic population increase the Government should give us the universal retirement protection scheme we want; if the projection indicates a decreasing working population the Government should scrap the East Lantau Metropolis idea under the Hong Kong 2030 . The Government should not be so arbitrary in its decisions
不要這樣"搬龍門"，一是建完人工島，便落實全民退休保障；當局不落實全民退休保障，便不要建中部人工島，就是如此簡單。
It should either implement universal retirement protection after constructing the artificial islands or drop the plan of constructing artificial islands if it refuses to implement universal retirement protection . All is so simple
如果繼續強推發展，更嚴重的社會矛盾會一觸即發。
If the Government continues to force ahead with the development projects Hong Kong will be pushed to the verge of serious social conflicts
另一項關於馬料水近岸填海工程的技術研究，涉及兩名專業人員。
The technical studies for nearshore reclamation at Ma Liu Shui involve two professional officers
政府計劃在喜靈洲和交椅洲附近進行填海，發展人工島。
The Government plans to reclaim land in the waters near Hei Ling Chau and Kau Yi Chau for the development of artificial islands
最好連啟德體育園也不要興建，把整個區域用來建樓，私樓也好，公屋也好，居屋也好，可以足夠香港人安居樂業。
Or scrap the plan to construct the Kai Tak Sports Park altogether and use the entire site for housing construction . The Government can use the site for private housing public rental housing or Home Ownership Scheme housing . No matter what housing the site can provide a comfort home for Hong Kong people to live there happily ever after
請不要隨便浪費土地，大興土木，破壞生態，搞到香港人沒有地方居住。
Please do not waste any piece of land and then carry out large - scale construction that damages the natural habitats; and meanwhile Hong Kong people are left with no place to live
其說法是要建立一個所謂智慧、宜居、低碳的發展群，希望把當地發展成為一個重鎮。
According to the Government it intends to develop the area into a smart liveable and low - carbon development cluster and turn the area into an important city
屆時現任官員已離任，輪到其他顧問公司、地產公司做高薪厚祿的顧問。
By then the incumbent public officers would have left and other consultants and property agents will become the handsomely - paid consultants
漠視民意，"霸王硬上弓"，就是這屆政府為所欲為的伎倆。
This Government has forced ahead with projects against public opinion . This is a tactic the Government adopts to do whatever it pleases
我不知道你們回家後能否安睡，有否良心發現。
I truly do not know how you can sleep peacefully at night and whether you have done any soul - searching at home
《香港2030+》是涉及差不多20年的發展，是否全社會也應參與討論呢？
Hong Kong 2030 is a development strategy spanning almost 20 years . Everyone in society should participate in the discussion shouldnt they?
這項諮詢真的完全低透明度、低宣傳，沒有人知道，但政府卻說已完成諮詢，接着更說要進行所謂的技術研究。
The consultation of the project totally lacks transparency and has little promotion . No one knows about it . But the Government says that the consultation has already been done and the so - called technical studies will follow
代理主席，多謝剛才劉業強議員一句"數夠票就通過"，很清楚說明為何我們如此鄙視這個政府，為何我們要利用對財政預算案的修正案來與之對抗。
Deputy Chairman thanks to Mr Kenneth LAU his remark getting things done by securing enough votes clearly explains why we are so contemptuous of this Government and why we have to propose amendments to the Budget for wrangling with the Government
但是，稍為注意一下社會的現象，稍為注意一下政府官員的發言後，大家便會發覺香港是一個很荒謬的社會，只要稍有理念，便不得不想有所作為，突破如此惡劣的處境。
However if we just pay a little attention to what is happening around us in society and to what government officials say we will see how absurd Hong Kong society is . As long as one has some ideals he must wish to do something to get rid of such a deplorable situation at present
私相授受，利益輸送，成長於1980年代的我，以為正在看古裝片，我以為香港是一個文明社會，我以為香港是一個有正義的社會，但這20年來，我們逐漸發覺原來一切都是錯覺。
For me who grew up in the 1980s I think that incidents of underhand dealings and transfer of benefits only happened in dramas of ancient time . I used to think that Hong Kong is a civilized society a righteous society but over the past 20 years we have gradually realized that all these are just illusions . We find that there are two social strata in Hong Kong one being the rich and powerful
香港原來有兩個階層，第一個叫權貴，他們侵吞官地，互相輸送利益，享盡榮華富貴，但他們的貪念卻是無窮無盡，1億元不夠，要100億元、1,000億元，壟斷我們社會上99%的資源。
People who belong to this stratum forcibly occupy Government land transfer benefits among themselves and enjoy endless glory and wealth but their desires are insatiable . When they have 100 million they want 10 billion and then they want 100 billion . They monopolize 99 % of all resources in our community
該公司建甚麼塌甚麼，在2009年更因為在菲律賓圍標而被世界銀行列入黑名單。
In 2009 CHEC was blacklisted by the World Bank for bid - rigging in the Philippines
它2012年開始興建我們的港珠澳大橋，在2012年至2014年之間，該項工程連環奪去了多名工人的生命。
CHEC commenced the construction works of the Hong Kong section of HZMB in 2012 . The works claimed the lives of quite a number of workers between 2012 and 2014
工人階級的性命完全被賤視，他們成為鑲進了港珠澳大橋上的一塊肉。
Lives of workers are treated like dirt and they become a piece of meat cast into HZMB
究竟我們的政府要負上甚麼責任？
What responsibility should our Government bear?
我們常說政府的政策殺人不見血，但這卻是一個殺人見血的政策。
We often say that the Governments policies kill without spilling blood but this particular policy kills and spills blood . However all these are closely linked
然而，一環扣一環，政府推展的政策都是賤視人命，容許這些事情繼續發生。
All the policies implemented by the Government have low regard for life and hence such incidents will continue to occur
除了建築工人外，社會上還有其他人被犧牲嗎？
Besides construction workers what other people in society are being victimized?
即使你不是建築工人，也要捱着全世界最長的工時，每周可統計的工時已接近51小時，而那些僱主交代要翌日完成，在下班後仍要"開夜車"的工作，並沒有計算在內。
Even if you are not a construction worker you also have to endure the longest working hours in the whole world . The number of working hours as recorded in the statistics is 51 working hours per week but the extra hours spent after work on the assignment assigned by the employer to be completed in the morning on the following day have not been recorded
代理主席，社會撕裂，源於壓迫。
Deputy Chairman social divisions stem from oppression
這個政府在財富分配上完全沒有保障工人的權益。
This Government has completely failed to protect workers rights and interests in the distribution of wealth
政府的稅收或能夠收回的金錢其實應用作財富再分配，應該還富於民，應該讓受剝削的人的生活基本上過得好。
The Governments revenue from tax or other sources should actually be used for redistribution of wealth for returning wealth to the people and for people who are subject to exploitation to have a basically secure living
政府在社會保障上對長者真的是非常涼薄。
In respect of social security the Government is indeed cold and callous to the elderly
表面上，我們很多人能夠入讀大學，但其實唸大學只是進入社會的一張入場券。這張入場券卻是以20萬元至40萬元的的學債換取回來的。
On the surface we see that many people can go to university but going to university is actually just a ticket for entering the workplace and it takes a debt of 200,000 to 400,000 to exchange for this ticket
政府在國際競爭方面說了那麼多，但有否理會本地基層人士的社區經濟？
The Government has said a great deal about international competition but has it paid any attention to the community economy of the local grass - roots people? . No
沒有，政府一口回絕。
The Government has flatly refused to do so
根據平等機會委員會去年的研究報告，有接近六成市民支持就性傾向歧視條例立法，當中即使是教友的受訪者，也有接近一半贊成立法。
According to the report of a study released by the Equal Opportunities Commission last year close to 60 % of the public supported legislating against discrimination on the ground sexual orientation and among interviewees who are believers close to 50 % supported the enactment of legislation to this effect
原因是大家可以看看，我們的政制事務委員會做了些甚麼呢？
The reason is that as Members can see what has our Panel on Constitutional Affairs done?
所以，如果你有細心聽我發言，你便會知道我沒有離題。
Therefore had you listened to my remarks carefully you would have known that I did not stray from the question
其實，即使我們立法反對性傾向歧視，也並非說這些人的心底裏不可以有各式各樣的想法；但不論我們的內心怎樣想，每個人也有基本人權，不在乎我們心裏是否喜歡，對方也應該擁有基本人權，這是一個很基本的概念。
In fact even if legislation is enacted against discrimination on the ground of sexual orientation we do not mean that these people cannot hold different views deep down in their hearts . But disregarding what we think deep down in our hearts every person has basic human rights . Whether we like it or not other people should have basic human rights too and this is a most basic concept
正如我心底裏也不喜歡某些建制派議員，但我認為他們也應該享有基本人權。
I also dislike certain pro - establishment Members in my heart but I think they should still enjoy basic human rights
正正是因為這樣的政府、這樣人權倒退的時代所實施的政策，令不論是基層、長者、學生或性小眾的利益一律無法得到伸張，那麼，為何要支持這份體現政府施政的預算案呢？
It is precisely because of such a Government and the policies implemented at a time of such regression of human rights that the interests of the grass roots the elderly students and sexual minorities have all been exploited . Such being the case why should I support this Budget which reflects the administration of the Government?
他們拿了那麼多撥款，但同志和性小眾的權益多年來也沒有獲得保障，即 使鄰近的地方如澳門，儘管當地如何保守，也把性小眾的保障放在勞工法例內，這與家庭價值是絕對沒有抵觸的；台灣更加有就此立法；而澳洲甚至把性小眾的保護列入性別歧視的條例內；一些國家更甚至有gender X ，即並非只分男性或女性，但我們的政府究竟在做些甚麼呢？
Even in the neighbouring Macao and despite it being a conservative place the sexual minorities are afforded protection through the labour laws and this is absolutely not in conflict with the family values . In Taiwan better still legislation has been put in place for their protection . In Australia the protection of the sexual minorities is incorporated into laws against sex discrimination
但是，在首輪財富分配上，原來是1：99，亦即1%的人取得我們九成的資本、九成由我們創造的財富。
But the first round of wealth distribution turned out to be done at a ratio of 1col99 meaning that 1 % of the people have got 90 % of our capital and 90 % of the wealth created by us
主席，很多市民向我反映，越來越多野豬在鬧市出沒，不只橫過馬路，也游泳過海，他們非常擔心受到襲擊。
President many members of the public have relayed to me that an increasing number of wild pigs have appeared in the urban areas not only crossing roads but also swimming across the harbour . People are very worried about being attacked by wild pigs
本港虛假資訊的散播日益猖獗，尤其在"黑暴"肆虐期間，網上虛假資訊泛濫，各種鼓吹暴力、煽動仇恨的假新聞、假消息充斥不同的網上平台，不斷激化社會矛盾、社會撕裂，令"港獨"、"攬炒"的激進勢力得以猖獗橫行，反中亂港分子更肆無忌憚在網上煽動民眾對抗中央政府、對抗國家，衝擊本港的繁榮穩定，威脅國家安全。
The spread of false information has become increasingly rampant in Hong Kong especially during the time when black - clad violence raged . The Internet then was flooded with false information and different online platforms were rife with all sorts of fake news to advocate violence and incite hatred thus continuously intensifying conflicts and rifts in society which enabled radical forces seeking Hong Kong Independence and mutual destruction to advance unchecked . What is worse the anti - China disruptors even blatantly incited the public to defy the Central Government and the country on the Internet
匿藏在網絡背後製造和散播虛假消息的幕後黑手就是窺準法律漏洞，有恃無恐地煽動仇恨與分化，圖謀帶動輿論，讓"黑暴"捲土重來。
Having spotted the legal loopholes the masterminds behind the creation and dissemination of online false information are emboldened to incite hatred and dissension and attempted to influence public opinions to enable black - clad violence to make a comeback
德國於2017年通過《社交網絡強制法》，加強對煽動暴力、仇恨等違法言論的執法。
Germany passed the Network Enforcement Act in 2017 to strengthen enforcement against illegal remarks such as provocations of violence hatred etc
美國亦於2016年實施《反外國宣傳與造謠法案》，反制外國政府的政治宣傳、虛假資訊等。
The United States also implemented the Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act in 2016 to counteract the political propaganda and disinformation by foreign governments
種種數據顯示，香港經濟金融繼續堅挺，國際金融中心地位絲毫沒有受損，各種"唱衰"香港的謊言不攻自破。
As various statistics show Hong Kongs economy and finance simply remain robust and our status as an international financial centre has not been undermined in the slightest . All the lies which aim at bad - mouthing Hong Kong simply cannot stand
是否因為龍鼓灘只有1000多名居民，勢孤力弱，所以要被犧牲和無視？
Is it because the helpless and powerless residents number 1 000 only and therefore they should be sacrificed and ignored?
政府會否到龍鼓灘的民居進行實地測試，量度區內空氣污染數據，匯集數據分析，評估龍鼓灘是否仍然適合居住，並向公眾公布結果？
Will the Government conduct on - site tests at local residences of Lung Kwu Tan to record air pollution data in the area collect such data for analysis assess whether the location is still suitable for human inhabitation and make public the results?
主席，在6月28日發出黑色暴雨警告信號期間，嶼南道出現嚴重水浸，並有山洪暴發，以致部分道路須全線封閉，事件正好反映嶼南交通只依賴一條幹道，很容易會因為意外而造成運輸網絡癱瘓的弊病。
President South Lantau Road was affected by serious flooding and hit by flash floods on 28 June when a Black Rainstorm Warning Signal was issued thus leading to the closure of some road sections . This has exactly reflected the fact that by relying on only one trunk road the transport network of South Lantau does have the disadvantage of being very easily paralysed by traffic accidents
土木工程拓展署亦曾進行一項顧問研究，並在有關報告建議興建連接梅窩及小蠔灣的隧道、研究增建大澳至東涌沿海公路，以及改善嶼南的交通。
In the report of a consultancy study commissioned by CEDD it has also been recommended that a tunnel linking Mui Wo and Siu Ho Wan be constructed a study be conducted on the construction of a coastal highway connecting Tai O and Tung Chung and the transport infrastructure of South Lantau be improved
但局長在主體答覆中沒有回覆有關如何規管虛擬抽獎的問題。
Yet the Secretary has not responded to the question regarding how virtual lucky draws should be regulated in his main reply
事實上，虛擬抽獎沒有年齡限制，青少年甚至兒童也可以使用點數卡或刷父母的信用卡參加，變相增加兒童參與賭博行為的機會，很容易潛移默化，日後更容易成為病態賭徒，對社會的影響是深遠的。
In fact there is no age limit for virtual lucky draws so teenagers and even children can use game point cards or their parents credit cards to take part in such lucky draws which would in effect increase the chance of children participating in gambling activities . Children are unconsciously impressionable and are prone to becoming pathological gamblers in the future . There is a far - reaching impact on society
政府有否估計要有多少下載量和使用量，才可達到追蹤病毒的成效，有助切斷傳播鏈？
Has the Government estimated the number of downloads and the usage rate required to effectively track the virus and break the chain of transmission?
我同意政府所說，防疫宜緊不宜鬆，但我剛才聽到局長的回應並沒有積極考慮汲取內地的經驗，在公眾地方設置口罩回收機，鼓勵市民正確棄置口罩，再由政府統一回收。
I agree with the Government that anti - epidemic measures should be as stringent as circumstances permit . But I note from the Secretarys reply that he has not actively responded to the proposal of learning from the experience of the Mainland in which face mask recycling machines are placed in public places with a view to encouraging the public to dispose of used face masks properly for central recycling by the Government
主席，我多謝陳健波議員提出此議案，以及12位議員就議案發言。

政府一直透過不同渠道及多元化的推廣工作，鼓勵僱主採納"以僱員為本"的良好人事管理方法及實施家庭友善政策，以協助僱員平衡工作與家庭生活，這與郭偉强議員談到的目標是一致的。
The Government has been encouraging employers to adopt employee - oriented good human resource management measures and implement family - friendly policies through various channels and diversified promotional efforts to help employees balance their work and family life which is in line with the objective mentioned by Mr KWOK Wai - keung
部分長者中心還提供一些空間放置簡單的健康檢查器材，以推廣長者的自我健康管理。
Some elderly centres also provide some space for simple health screening equipment to promote self - health management among the elderly

I implore Members to support these heads standing part of the Schedule so as to provide funding to the departments for the next financial year and ensure that the provision of various necessary public services can be maintained in the public interest
屆時會全面考慮議員、公眾和社會團體對計劃提出的意見。
Comments received from the public and social groups on the Scheme will be considered in the review in a holistic manner
在社會福利的承擔方面，有議員認為政府應投放更多資源在福利服務。

在安老及助弱方面，為應付老年人口不斷增加，政府投放在安老服務的資源亦持續增長。
On elderly care and support for the disadvantaged in order to cope with the growth in elderly population the resources committed by the Government to elderly services have been on the rise
政府在2017-2018年度投放在安老服務的經常開支約為78億4,000萬元，較去年修訂預算的約73億1,000萬元增加7.2%。
The recurrent government expenditure on elderly services in 2017 - 2018 is about 7.84 billion representing an increase of 7.2 % over the revised estimate of about 7.31 billion last year

政府現時正在推行第二階段長者社區照顧服務券的試驗計劃，並同在今年第三季將服務券的數目增加2,000張至5,000張。
The Government is now launching the Second Phase of the Pilot Scheme on Community Care Service Voucher for the Elderly under which the number of service vouchers will be increased by 2 000 to 5 000 in the third quarter of his year . Still the CCSV Pilot Scheme will not be implemented at the expense of the existing services
推行試驗計劃完全不會令現有服務減少，政府正在繼續增加安老服務的名額，社會福利署在26個 發展項目，以及私人土地作福利用途特別計劃都已作出規劃，在未來5至10年內，預計可以新增大約9,200個安老宿位，以及大約2,900個長者日間護理服務的名額。
The Government will continue to increase the number of places for elderly care services . The Social Welfare Department SWD has already devised plans in respect of 26 development projects and projects under the Special Scheme on Privately Owned Sites for Welfare Uses to increase the elderly service places .
