如果香港有年青人夠膽把愛國的心說出來，其實並非羞耻的事，所以，我希望同事即使不同意，也不要攻擊他人。
But young people actually have nothing to be ashamed of in daring to speak about their patriotic sentiments . Hence I hope Honourable colleagues will refrain from attacking others despite their disagreement
但是，工聯會的陸頌雄議員在昨天舉行的立法會會議上以書面質詢形式問到，政府於今年4月1日改革合約制度時，可能會出現新舊合約外判工"同工不同酬"的問題，對員工的保障並不看齊。
However at yesterdays Council meeting Mr LUK Chung - hung of FTU raised a written question stating that the Governments reform of the contract system on 1 April this year might give rise to the problem of different pay for the same work for workers under the existing and new service contracts hence workers protection may be different
我們多年來要求改善外判合約的條件，而你已接納我們的意見。
Over the years we have been requesting for improvements to conditions of work for outsourced contract workers and you have accepted our views
他們當然就是要不斷製造仇恨、製造恐慌，以破壞市民對執法者的信心。
Doubtlessly they intended to shatter public confidence in law enforcement officers by continuously creating hatred and panic
我的朋友對那人說："那是世紀騙案，你居然也相信？
My friend replied him That is a scam of the century . How come you believe it?
他們的目的就是想告訴......煽動社會，告訴社會，我甚至建制派在鼓吹暴力。
Their aim was to tell to cause a stir in the community by telling people that I and even the pro - establishment camp advocated violence
我採取了法律行動，亦得到我一些支持者幫助搜證。
I took legal action against them with some supporters helping me to collect evidence
你難以單靠個人便能在現行的法律下討回公道、對人說出真相。
It is just too difficult for anyone to seek justice and tell others the truth solely on his own under the existing legislation
我們都是受盡網上失實資訊的禍害，付上了沉重的代價。
We have all been victimized by misinformation on the Internet and paid a heavy price for that . Deputy President the Chinese examinations which we took during primary school years consisted of a section known as picture composition
代理主席，我們在小學中文科考試的時候，有一個項目叫做"看圖作文"，現在，網上就有很多"小學高材生"，只要有人放一張影着一名穿校服的小學生與兩三名警察"同框"即在同一張相片上 的相片上網，網上這些"小學高材生"就會懂得看圖作文，他們會說警察連小童也不放過，然後大肆渲染、一直廣傳、"加鹽加醋"。
These days there are many talented primary students on the Internet who are well - acquainted with picture composition . If a photo showing a uniformed primary student being with two to three police officers―ie . all of them in the same photo―is posted on the Internet they will portray the police officers as refusing to spare a kid and then sentimentalize and spread around the story continuously with exaggerations
我亦希望政府盡快提出一套規管制度，包括有專門的法例可以遏止一些別有用心的虛假資訊不停在網上流傳。
I also hope that the Government will expeditiously introduce a regulatory regime which includes dedicated legislation for curbing the continuous circulation of malicious false information on the Internet
政府的回答，第一及三部分都是比較詳細的，而第二部分關於醫管局，好像答了等於沒答。
In the Governments reply both parts 1 and 3 are relatively detailed but part 2 which is about HA seems to be a non - answer
根據以下兩個原因，我要求主席作出裁決。
For the following two reasons I urge President to make a ruling
舉例說，香港人過去對國家歷史的概念、對國家體制的認識，以至對家國情懷等，在回歸後越來越模糊。
For instance after the reunification Hong Kong peoples concepts about the history of the country the system of the country national sentiments etc have become increasingly blurred
當鄰近的澳門和內地都抗疫成功並回復日常生活時，香港在抗疫上仍徘徊不前、走三步退兩步，一波又一波的疫情出現，均令市民對防疫抗疫的措施感到疲倦，而且日漸不滿。
While our neighbours Macao and the Mainland have succeeded in fighting against the epidemic and bringing life back to normal Hong Kong has remained sluggish in fighting the virus taking three steps forward and two steps back . Being affected by waves of outbreak members of the public have become fed up with the anti - epidemic measures and are increasingly dissatisfied
首先是境外勢力利用本港修例風波挑起社會暴亂，衝擊政權的管治、破壞社會穩定、損害本地經濟甚至危及市民的生活秩序和人身安全。
First external forces had exploited the disturbances arising from the proposed legislative amendments in Hong Kong to stir up social unrest challenging the governance of the regime undermining social stability hurting the local economy and even jeopardizing the daily life and personal safety of the public
於是，防疫措施只能繼續"一刀切"關閉處所、禁止晚市堂食，令相關行業繼續受害。
As a result some anti - epidemic measures continue to be implemented across the board such as closing business premises and prohibiting dine - in services in restaurants in the evening thereby undermining the operation of the relevant industries
只要政府強制推行，市民才會在外出時有意識"掃碼入商場、入食肆"。
If the implementation of the application is mandatory members of the public will consciously check into shopping malls and catering businesses by scanning the venue QR code
當中包括確診的比率、確診數字及醫療體系的承受能力等。
More importantly the public know in advance details of the tiers and criteria such as the rate of confirmed cases the number of confirmed cases and the capacity of the healthcare system
同樣，韓國亦有一套清晰的三級體制作抗疫，以單日新增的確診病例、不明源頭個案、感染群組，以及病床、隔離設施的使用率來調整。
They can thus anticipate the actions to be taken . Similarly South Korea has also developed a clear three - tier anti - epidemic system and adjustment will be made based on the number of new confirmed case on a single day the number of cases of unknown sources the clusters of cases and the utilization rates of hospital beds and quarantine facilities
我們覺得政府似乎是底氣不足，於是形成"唔湯唔水"的格局。
In our opinion the Government seems to lack confidence resulting in this situation of neither fish nor fowl
我希望政府在抗疫上能真正做到施政報告標題所示"砥礪前行"，讓社會可以有系統、有目標地控制確診個案數目。
I hope the Government can really strive ahead as suggested in the title of the Policy Address in fighting against the epidemic so that the number of confirmed cases can be controlled systematically in society to meet the objectives set
代理主席，在抗疫的同時，維持經濟熱度亦是政府需要處理的事項。
Deputy President apart from fighting against the epidemic the Government also needs to maintain the economic heat
因此，如果政府仍然沒有切實辦法或資源輔助市民，支援經濟，香港經濟很可能會陷入持續性衰退，屆時基層"打工仔"的生活真的會不堪想象。
Moreover owing to the current severe local and international economic situations it is very difficult for the Hong Kong economy to rebound . Therefore if the Government does not have any practical ways or resources to assist the public and support the economy our economy may probably sink into a continuous recession and the life of grass - roots wage earners will really be miserable by then
香港工會聯合會對今年施政報告的評價是"方向正確、任重路遠、燃眉未解、民困待紓"。
The comments of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions FTU on the Policy Address this year are moving in the right direction entrusted with an arduous task; peoples imminent hardship yet to be relieved
代理主席，記得當年SARS後，政府大力恢復經濟，包括成立重建經濟活力小組，集合官、商、民的力量重振經濟。
Deputy President as I recall the Government made a lot of efforts in reviving the economy after SARS including setting up the Economic Relaunch Working Group to revitalize the economy through cooperation among government officials commercial sectors and members of the public
我們肯定這份施政報告的方向，並認為施政報告符合社會期望，所以，我們會予以支持。
As we approve of the directions of the Policy Address and opine that the Policy Address has met social expectation we will give our support
假如市民今天已經三餐不繼，陷於貧困當中，即使政府跟他們說未來經濟可以如何恢復或前行，都只是畫餅充飢，不切實際。
If members of the public are now living in dire poverty the talk about how the economy will revive or move forward in the future is like drawing a cake to satisfy their hunger which is totally impractical
因此，我認同政府有需要審慎理財，但同時也要"應使則使"，尤其在市民已經陷入困境，政府更加要動用儲備，拯救市民，讓他們可以在經濟困境下看到未來，有希望，有目標。
Therefore while I agree that the Government needs to manage public finances prudently it also has to spend money where necessary . In particular when members of the public are in great distress the Government should readily use reserves to save them so that they can still see future hope and goals under the economic predicament . Deputy President from the Policy Address and the Chief Executives letter to Legislative Council Members we can see that the Chief Executive has the fighting spirit impetus and determination to cope with the epidemic and the future of Hong Kong
大家都知道，"愛國者治港"人才要成才需要有實戰環境，所以我想問得具體一點，政府會否考慮或是已有方案，在各個政策局增加如副局長、政治助理之類的職位，讓更多人可以在實際環境裏培訓成才？
As we all know talents need practical experience before they can become the patriots administering Hong Kong . I thus want to ask a more specific question Will the Government consider or has it formulated any plans for creating additional posts such as Under Secretaries or Political Assistants in the various Policy Bureaux so that more talents can be groomed in the real working environment?
主席，據報，現時肆虐全球的冠狀病毒在低溫環境下可存活多天。
President it has been reported that the coronavirus which is currently rampant across the globe can survive for several days at low temperatures
我想問，警方有否主動聯絡相關的動物團體，解釋當局在執法時的情況，以及澄清有關事實呢？
So I would like to ask whether the Police have taken the initiative to get in touch with the relevant animal rights groups so as to explain to them the situation of the enforcement actions and clarify the facts
對於這些消息，真真假假，我留意到警方已經在社交媒體澄清。但是，關注動物權益的團體或普通市民未必會留意警方的Facebook。
I notice that the Police have already made clarifications in the social media but animal rights concern groups or general members of the public may not necessarily pay attention to the Polices posts on Facebook
雖然已經三番四次想成立業主立案法團，但迄今依然無果。
Although numerous attempts had been made to establish an owners corporation OC it is still of no avail
我相信政府當局用心良好，亦旨在為社會服務，但遇到實際的問題便應該實際地解決。
While I think the Administration is well - intentioned and seeks to serve the community it is duty - bound to address practical issues in a practical way
特區政府亦加強對商界的支持，急企業所急，這也是業界所樂見的。
The SAR Government has also strengthened its support for the business sector so as to share the pressing concerns of enterprises . These initiatives are welcomed by the industries
對於推動香港參與大灣區的發展，現時特區政府在宣傳工作上流於表面，未能作出較詳盡和深刻的解讀，讓香港市民大眾，特別是青年人充分了解大灣區的具體情況、法規及風俗習慣，當中包括大灣區可以為香港青年人帶來甚麼機遇，以及對香港未來發展的重要性。
In promoting Hong Kongs participation in the development of GBA the SAR Government is superficial information in its publicity work failing to provide detailed and in - depth information . Hence members of the public of Hong Kong especially young people cannot fully understand the specific situations laws and regulations as well as customs and practices of GBA . In particular they do not understand the opportunities offered by GBA to young people of Hong Kong and the importance of GBA to Hong Kongs future development
但是，特區政府在抗疫工作方面可謂盡力但不成功，包括抉擇不果斷、一拖再拖，令疫情反覆，難以"清零"。
However despite the efforts made the SAR Government has been unsuccessful in fighting against the epidemic . Owing to the Governments indecisiveness and procrastination the epidemic situation has been fluctuating and the target of zero infection has not been attained
疫情最終受到控制，才有條件通關，人流、物流恢復正常，讓經濟能夠復蘇。
Only when the epidemic is finally brought under control can the border be reopened . By then the flows of people and goods can resume and economic recovery is possible
香港中文大學醫學院的調查發現，政府對疫苗的建議，會較醫生、家人等對接種疫苗的影響力高近5倍。
In a survey conducted by the Faculty of Medicine of The Chinese University of Hong Kong it was found that the Governments recommendations on vaccines were almost five times more influential than the advice given by doctors and family members
當局應該汲取經驗和教訓，往後在相關的工作上應該做得更有針對性和更仔細，避免做了工夫但吃力不討好，成效不彰。
The authorities should learn from experience and remember the lessons; they should carry out their work in a more focused and thoughtful manner in the future so as to avoid making futile efforts
主席，社會上有一句名言，就是"真的假不了，假的真不了"。
President there is a famous saying in society which goes that What is true cannot be fake; what is fake cannot be true
在過去數年香港發生的一系列假信息，其目的不只是一句大話那麼簡單，不只是要"呃神騙鬼"，其實假信息背後的意圖，就是想造成社會混亂，煽動暴動，這些對我們整體民生、經濟、社會來說是破壞至深的。
A series of false information was disseminated in Hong Kong over the past few years . Such information was not as simple as a lie trying to deceive people . The intention behind spreading false information was to create social chaos and incite riots which have brought great damage to our overall livelihood economy and society
我很痛心的是，到目前為止，還有一些人被蒙蔽。
I am very much saddened by the fact that to date there are still people being deceived by certain false information
我不明白，譬如好像太子站打死人、"爆眼女"、新屋嶺有人被強姦等事情，事實擺在眼前，這些全是弄虛作假的，當天就是有人有目的地"生安白造"，想造成社會混亂，破壞特區政府的威信，諸如此類的事情，到了現在仍有人相信。
I do not understand it . For instance the stories of so - called people being beaten to death at Prince Edward Station the girl with a ruptured eyeball and a female detainee being sexually assaulted at San Uk Ling Holding Centre are all fake news . The hard facts are laid before their eyes proving that all these are fake news intentionally created by some people to cause social chaos and undermine the credibility of the SAR Government at that time
美國供應的催淚彈我不知道香港有否購買是會連同一份長達15頁紙的所謂安全數據表)一併提供的，當中詳列催淚彈的化學成分，有甚麼有毒成分等，然後又清楚說明進行急救時應該如何處理，如果射入眼睛應該怎麼做，吞服了或皮膚接觸到又如何處理等，有十分清楚的救護指引；並且列出消防員在救火時應該使用甚麼撲滅......
Tear gas canisters supplied by the United States―I am not sure whether Hong Kong has procured them―are accompanied with a safety data sheet SDS that consists of as many as 15 pages on which the chemical components or any toxic substances are listed out in detail . It also carries clear instructions on how to perform first aid treatment what to do if a person gets shot in the eye with a tear gas canister if he has swallowed tear gas or if it has come into contact with his skin . The first aid guidance is very clear
為何她需要換肝？
Why did she need a liver transplant?
我加入議會5年，從沒有在財政預算案要求削減食物及衞生局局長高永文的薪酬開支，但為何等到高局長可能要告別官場，在今次的預算案卻覺得要支持這些修正案呢？
In my five - year service with the Council I have never requested for an expenditure cut in the Budget on the personal emolument of the Secretary for Food and Health . As such why have I waited until now when Secretary Dr KO is likely to leave the Government to find it necessary to support these amendments to the Budget?
為何聯合醫院的醫生會出來鞠躬道歉呢？
Why did the doctors of UCH have to bow in apology when Madam TANG had undergone liver transplant in the Queen Mary Hospital QMH?
除了9項必須呈報的嚴重醫療事件之外，又加上了2項必須呈報的重大風險事件，即"9加2"是必須呈報的。
Apart from the nine types of sentinel events which require reporting hospitals are also required to report two additional types of serious untoward events . In total there are nine plus two types of medical events which require reporting
我們當然覺得整件事是不幸，但不幸之中，我們一直聽到的都是令人很窩心、很溫暖的"香江情"，有她很孝心的女兒，即使未達換肝年齡，亦自願捐肝給母親；又有一些完全不認識他們的人，有一位鄭女士願意作出犧牲，捐出活肝，之後亦有屍肝捐出。
It is of course an unfortunate incident . It is also a full display of the warmth and geniality of the Hong Kong society where the daughter of filial piety offered voluntarily to donate a piece of her liver for transplant to her mother although she has yet to reach the legal age for donation . Some persons who did not even know Madam TANG and her family such as Madam CHENG was willing to make some sacrifice
我認為家人是最有權知道其親人的狀況，而聯網之間，轉介病人到另一間醫院急救換肝，也不告知有關情況。
I think her family has every right to know about the conditions of its family member . Moreover the relevant situation was not made known within the hospital cluster during the transfer of the patient from one hospital to another for liver transplant
不通知家人、不通報醫管局，醫院的層次又出現問題了。
The refusal to notify the patients family and report to HA is another problem at the hospital level
報告於2016年5月出版，今天是2017年5月，整整1年，報告中的多項建議，單是我剛才說的第一項就已經沒有做到了，試問水務署署長是否應被削減全年薪酬？
The Report was published in May 2016 and we are now in May 2017 . During this one whole year among the many recommendations in the Report even the first recommendation that I read out just now have not been implemented . Should the annual emoluments of the Director of Water Supplies be cut?
這是因為我們在整個調查鉛水的過程中，我一直跟政府對戰，其中一個重點是政府如何抽取水樣本，如何知道水管及供水的部件有否釋出污染物和重金屬，例如鉛等。
It is because during the process of inquiring into the lead in drinking water incidents I have been battling with the Government . One of the major questions that I pursue is how water samples are taken by the Government so that it knows whether there are contaminants and heavy metal such as lead leaching from water pipes and the inside service
所以，一般而言，當政府調查公屋的食水含鉛狀況時，他們一直在說是將水龍頭開至最大，讓水流出2至5分鐘後，才抽取水樣本化驗。
Hence generally speaking in the course of inquiring into the lead content in drinking water of PRH estates the Government insisted on its way of turning the tap on at maximum flow and let the water flow for two to five minutes before taking the water samples
調查委員會的理解亦是，如果水務署在今次事件中要找出鉛對於水的污染，應該收集的是"頭浸水"的樣本。
The reading of the Commission is that WSD should have taken initial draw - off samples in order to assess the lead contamination in the present incidents
我說當然仍未解決，不要因為傳媒減少報道，便以為事情已獲解決，我說有很多建議仍未落實，包括最重要的一項，就是我覺得要重新再抽驗"頭啖水"樣本，以確保有否其他屋邨的食水也受到污染，是否不止11個屋邨受影響？
I said that it was of course not yet resolved . We should not think that the issue has been resolved just because there is less media coverage . I said that many recommendations have not been implemented yet including the most important recommendation of retesting water quality by taking initial draw - off samples in order to find out whether the drinking water of other PRH estates are also contaminated
為何要再找一些專家研究1年後仍不開始驗水？
Why does it not start testing the drinking water after it has found some more experts to study again for another year? . In fact there are already some experts here
我們已說出水務署署長的問題，但發展局今天沒有官員在座，其實我們也很關心東江水的問題。
We have already talked about the problems concerning the Director of Water Supplies but there is no officer from the Development Bureau here . In fact we are also very concerned about the issue of Dongjiang water
我們最近曾到當地視察東江供水的情況，立法會也將會就此進行議案辯論，但由於今天發展局沒有官員在座，我也不知道如何再說下去，情況就是我們對於東江水的議價模式，或"統包總額"方式很有意見。
Recently we have inspected the condition of Dongjiang water supply on which the Legislative Council will conduct a motion debate . But since there is no officer from the Development Bureau here today it seems pointless for me to go on with this subject . The situation is that we have some issues on the approach of price negotiation or the package deal lump sum approach concerning Dongjiang water
我們是否有方法，可以幫助他們？
Is there any way we can help them?
我們希望，即使現屆政府不願做，下屆政府也要考慮我剛才提出的數項措施：第一，增加大學資助學額；第二，對那些本來符合入讀大學資格，但要到自資專上院校修讀學士課程的學生，增加資助；第三，對那些在自資專上院校就讀銜接課程的副學士畢業生，提供部分學費資助。
We hope that even if the current Government is unwilling to do so the next Government will consider the various initiatives I just mentioned namely firstly increase the number of subsidized undergraduate places; secondly increase the financial assistance provided for secondary school leavers who have to undertake bachelors degree programmes offered by self - financial tertiary institutions even though they have met the entry requirements of publicly - funded universities; thirdly subsidize part of the tuition fees paid by associate degree graduates for undertaking top - up programmes offered by self - financing tertiary institutions
我希望隨着新一屆政府上任，當局能夠盡快取消TSA及BCA。
I hope that when the new Government assumes office it will abolish TSABCA as soon as possible
第一，接受政府資助的自資專上院校的財務情況，必須具透明度。
Firstly the self - financing tertiary institutions receiving government subsidies must ensure transparency as regards their financial situation
假設政府願意資助學生修讀自資專上院校的課程，但當政府作出撥款後，校方仍增加學費，那麼學生便仍要支付昂貴的學費，即是水漲船高，這樣便很糟糕。
Otherwise if the Government is willing to subsidize students undertaking the programmes offered by these institutions they may still increase the tuition fees even with funding support from the Government the result would be disastrous because at the end of the day students must still pay exorbitant tuition fees
公帑資助反而令學費水漲船高，學生仍要支付昂貴的學費，最終甚至淪為這些自資專上院校的"肥豬肉"。
Under the circumstances public funding support has actually driven up tuition fees and students must still pay exorbitant tuition fees . Ultimately such funding support has become a piece of fat pork for the self - financing tertiary institutions
對於政府資助的大學，現行有一套質素監管的系統。但是，對於自資專上院校的監管，其實是千瘡百孔，出現過很多問題。
While there is an established quality assurance system for publicly - funded universities the supervision on self - financing tertiary institutions is defective giving rise to many problems
然而，回歸20年，民主和普選在哪裏？
However where is democracy and universal suffrage 20 years after the reunification?
昨天，我聽到前立法會議員梁家傑感慨發言，他說不知道自己有否機會見證香港落實真普選。
Yesterday I heard the emotional remarks made by Alan LEONG a former Legislative Council Member . He said that he was not sure if he had the opportunity to witness the implementation of genuine universal suffrage in Hong Kong
不少多年來參與民主運動的人，包括我在內，都覺得灰心，我們不知道何時才能落實《基本法》提到的普選。
Many people including me who have participated in the democratic movement for many years are very disheartened . We do not know when universal suffrage as mentioned in the Basic Law can be implemented
我們沒有 堅持一定要有公民提名，但當時完全沒有討論空間，對嗎？
We had not insisted that civil nomination must be adopted and there was no room for discussion right?
在下一屆政府、下一任特首林鄭月娥上任後，如果民主黨與她會面，我仍然會對她說，一定要重新啟動政改，而且不得拖延。
After the next Government has come to power and the next Chief Executive Carrie LAM has assumed office if the Democratic Party has a chance to meet with her I will still tell her that the constitutional reform must be reactivated without delay
如果不推翻八三一決定，根本無法落實《基本法》第四十五條和第六十八條。
If we do not overturn the 31 August Decision we basically cannot implement Article 45 and Article 68 of the Basic Law
當然，在整個憲政體制中，香港立法會不可以否決八三一決定，因為我們不能否決人大所作的決定，但人大可以自行撤回所作的決定。
Of course under the constitutional system the Legislative Council of Hong Kong cannot veto the 31 August Decision but NPCSC can withdraw the decision it made
雖然我們仍然認為，所謂資本主義經濟制度和大陸的制度有所不同，但在這20年內，香港的體制、香港的核心價值及我們所珍惜的程序公義，已經失陷，媒體也已經被紅色資本家操控。
Even though we still think that our so - called capitalist economic system is different from that of the Mainland in the past 20 years the system in Hong Kong our core values and procedural justice that we cherish have been undermined and the media has also been manipulated by the red capitalists
他們要干預香港、介入香港事務，他們也為干預、介入作出官方論述。
LOCPG has interfered and intervened in Hong Kong affairs and official comments were made on interference and intervention
大家本來都支持和認同這個系統。
We originally supported and accepted this system
張曉明寫一幅字畫便籌得過千萬元，民建聯真是"肥過肥仔水"。
A scroll of calligraphy by ZHANG Xiaoming raised more than 10 million; DAB is really affluent
連建制派候選人也不放過，因為他們已經欽點林鄭月娥成為下任特首。
Even the pro - establishment candidates would not be spared because Carrie LAM was handpicked to be the next Chief Executive
銅鑼灣書店事件，大家記憶猶新，這人可以突然失蹤，那人可以用自己的方式被離開香港。
The Causeway Bay Bookstore incident is still fresh in our memory . A person can suddenly disappear and another person can be made to leave Hong Kong in his own way
