配合國家的規劃，應對全球氣候變化，政府計劃在2050年前實現"碳中和"，並訂下要在2030年把碳強度由2005年的水平降低65%至70%之間的中期目標，亦即是相當於26%至36%的絕對減排量，以及人均年排放量減至3.3至3.8公噸。
To complement with the national plan and cope with global climate change the Government plans to achieve carbon neutrality before 2050 and has set an interim target of reducing carbon intensity by 65 % to 70 % in 2030 as compared with the level in 2005 .

如何推動綠色運輸亦不能忽視。
As for the promotion of green transport it is something that should not be ignored either
首份《香港電動車普及化路線圖》於今年3月出爐。
The first Hong Kong Roadmap on Popularisation of Electric Vehicles was announced in March this year
對於公共交通工具的商用車方面亦不可以忽視，電動巴士、小巴、渡輪等公共交通工具的推行時間表，目前仍然停留在試驗計劃階段，實有必要加快進行。
Commercial vehicles serving as public transport should also be reckoned with . When it comes to the roll - out timetables for such public transport as electric buses public light buses and ferries everything still remains at the trial stage at present so it is really necessary to speed things up
主席，政府於本年4月表示，將委聘顧問公司主動為全港兩萬幢私人住用及綜合用途目標樓宇，檢查外牆排水管，以減低疫症傳播的風險。
President the Government indicated in April this year that it would commission consultancy firms to proactively inspect the external drainage pipes of 20 000 target private domestic and composite buildings across the territory in order to reduce the risk of epidemic spreading
就此，我想問局長，會否盡量加快推動有關的視察計劃，令現時業界的工作量增加，讓更多人可參與？
In this connection I would like to ask the Secretary whether the implementation of the inspection scheme will be expedited as far as possible so as to create more jobs for the industry and to allow participation of more people
代理主席，我也曾參觀很多現代化農場，包括位於內地的農場，而這些農場的衞生和清潔工作均十分不俗，污水和禽畜糞便的處理亦非常妥當，甚至能做到轉廢為材及轉廢為能。
Deputy President I have visited many modernized farms including those located in the Mainland and found that they all have rather good sanitation and environmental hygiene with proper treatment of sewage and animal manures . Some of them can even convert waste into resources and energy
舉辦了這麼多次交流團，我不知道政府是否有推薦一些相關的行程或要求主辦的團體更加配合學習目標？

主席，政府在今年的《施政報告》中提出計劃，大幅增加過渡性房屋項目，在未來3年提供合共一萬個過渡性房屋單位，並表示已預留50億元作經費。
President in this years Policy Address the Government put forward a plan to increase the number of transitional housing projects substantially to provide a total of 10 000 transitional housing units within the coming three years and indicated that it had earmarked 5 billion for meeting the costs
主席，對於過渡性房屋，政府由最初不願意推行、不想推行、認為沒有需要推行，到近年終於承認有必要推行，同時亦資助民間團體推行，當中確實有進步。
President the Government has altered its attitude towards transitional housing from one of having reservations to do it not wanting to do it and considering that there is no need to do it at the beginning to one of recognizing that there is such a need and going further to provide funding support for community groups to implement transitional housing projects in recent years . This is indeed a progress
它為何要依靠其他團體去做，它的理由是甚麼呢？
Why does it have to rely on other organizations to do this? . What is its rationale for that?

就此事，我除了向有關當局投訴外，更曾去信張炳良局長提出有關問題。
Regarding this I have both lodged a complaint with the authorities and written a letter to Secretary Prof Anthony CHEUNG bringing the matter to his attention
你可能會說，其他紀律部隊或公務員很多時候也超時工作，但不要忘記，前線空管人員掌握着很多人的性命，不管是否客機，即使是貨機，如果撞到地面，所造成的人命傷亡是不能想象的。
Perhaps you may say that officers in other disciplined services or in the civil service also have to work overtime frequently . Please do not forget that the work of frontline ATCOs concerns the lives of numerous people . If a passenger aircraft or even a cargo aircraft crashes on landing the casualties would be unimaginable
訓練一名空管人員需時甚長，往往以數年計，可能是三四年至七八年，視乎他擔任甚麼崗位，究竟民航處有沒有做好空管人員的訓練工作呢？
It takes quite some time often years to train an ATCO . The training lasts from a few years to about seven or eight years depending on their posts . Has CAD properly conducted work training for its ATCOs?
正如我在第一次發言時說，我不想抨擊民航處前處長，因為始終他已經不在了。
As I said in my first speech I do not want to criticize the former Director - General given that he has already passed away
但是，關於人手安排方面，現任處長以前擔任副處長，是否就完全沒有責任呢？
The incumbent Director - General was the Deputy Director - General in the past
無論是公眾的觀感或是民航處內部其他員工的感覺，均會認為政府遮遮掩掩，這絕對不是民航處應該做的事，也不是任何政府部門應該做的事。
This makes the public wonder whether the Government is trying to cover up the truth . The public or even the CAD staff will have the impression that the Government is trying to hide something . This is absolutely not something CAD or any government department should do
其實單單從一件事，便可以看到過往出現的是一些管理問題，多於一些技術問題。
From one simple incident we can see that the past problems are management issues rather than technical issues
一般來說，如果發生嚴重意外，不會或極少是因為單一塊芝士發生事故，通常是碰巧有一刻，每一塊芝士的洞口也連成一直線而出現意外。
Generally speaking if a serious accident happens it will not be or rarely is the problem of a single piece of cheese . The accident usually takes place at a particular moment when the holes in all the pieces of cheese align together
就是基於這態度，令民航處處長不能夠直接掌握很多事情，反過來說，也表示前線員工不能夠直接向他反映意見。
This thinking has prevented the Director - General from directly knowing what is going on and on the other hand prevented frontline officers from directly reflecting their views to him
我無意針對任何一位官員，這亦不是我發言的原因。
I do not mean to target at any public officer . This is not the reason I rise to speak
因為資源不足，醫院要在走廊加設病床，很多護士、前線醫護人員要超時工作，非常辛苦，種種因素也可導致醫療失誤的機會上升。

年輕人被警方打到頭破血流，熱心人想救助他是人之常情。
When seeing young men being badly beaten by the Police any enthusiastic person would naturally offer help
即使那人不是救護員，並未接受救護訓練，但他看到有人受傷、受痛苦，也會予以幫助。
Even if a person is not a first aider and has not received first aid training he will offer help if he sees someone injured and suffering
因為警暴未被追究，違法的警員便食髓知味，以為怎樣作惡也沒有後果，無法無天，所以導致後來發生的"七二一"事件、"八三一"事件、"一零一"事件、實彈射市民、性侵犯示威者等，這些事情較"六二一"事件嚴重萬倍。
As nobody has been held accountable for police violence police officers who have violated the law want to experience police violence again and they thought that there would be no consequences for their evil acts . Their lawlessness led to the subsequent 21 July incident 31 August incident and 1 October incident shooting the public with real bullets and sexual abuse of protesters etc . These things are ten thousand times more serious than the 12 June incident
這就是根源，所以我要求動用法定權力委任一個專責委員會，讓公眾信服。
This is the root cause so I ask for the use of statutory power to appoint a select committee to convince the public
我同意並非在每次有警務人員被質疑證供有問題時均要調查，但如在法庭經過審訊及審視很多證據、證供、片段後，認為有關警員在講大話時，為何過去進行局長所說的主動調查，竟只涉及兩名人員這麼少？
I agree that it may not be necessary to conduct an investigation whenever a police officers credibility of evidence is questioned but if the court has examined ample evidence testimonies and video clips during trials and then come to the view that there were police officers telling lies in court how come only two officers were involved in proactive investigations conducted previously as mentioned by the Secretary?
一方面，樓價高企，令市民難以負擔，不管如何努力奮鬥，亦難圓置業安家之夢，憤慨不滿之情不難理解。
On the one hand the soaring property prices are beyond the affordability of the public that it is difficult to achieve the goal of home ownership regardless of how hard they strive for it . It is not difficult to understand the reasons of their anger and discontent
另一方面，超高的地價，亦預示了住宅樓市的風險正在上升，尤其未來供應正不斷增加，利率亦正逐步向上，實在令人憂慮。
On the other hand the soaring property prices have indicated that the risk of the residential property market is increasing which is actually a worrying situation especially when there will be an increasing supply of land in the future and an upward trend in interest rate

在現屆政府任期的過去4個財政年度，立法會由一讀到通過該年度的《撥款條例草案》，平均需時超過16個會議日，是自1997年以來歷屆立法會平均審議相同條例草案時間的6倍。

樓市方面，去年住宅物業市場的氣氛隨着本地疫情發展而時有波動。
Regarding the property market local development of the epidemic last year has created volatility in the residential property market
2020年住宅物業買賣近6萬宗，與2019年大概相若，樓價跟2019年年底時比較亦變化不大。
There were nearly 60 000 sales and purchases of residential building units recorded in 2020 broadly similar to that in 2019 and flat prices did not vary much from that at the close of 2019
但是，由於住宅市場價格與成交仍然堅挺，住屋價格仍遠高於一般市民可負擔水平，因此我們認為住宅物業市場不具備放寬需求管理措施的空間。
However given that both residential property prices and transactions remain robust and that housing prices are still far beyond the general publics affordability we do not think there is room for relaxing the demand - side management measures for the residential property market

鑒於未償還綠色債券的總額為35億美元，以及剛才我所述的擴大發行計劃，預期計劃下的借款將於2023年左右達到1,000億港元的上限。
In light of the total outstanding amount of US3.5 billion green bonds and the expanded issuance plan I have just mentioned the total sum borrowed under GGBP is projected to reach the ceiling of HK100 billion around 2023
