權力使人腐化，絕對的權力使人絕對腐化。
Power corrupts absolute power corrupts absolutely
2019冠狀病毒病疫情持續達一年仍未消退，重創本港經濟。
Hong Kongs economy has been hard hit by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 epidemic which has persisted for one year and has not yet subsided
然而，有評論質疑該計劃對推動經濟的作用。
However there have been comments querying the Schemes effectiveness in boosting the economy
我想告訴局長，這數個月來多項抗疫措施出台時，很多議員都有很多意見，有時候我們甚至發脾氣。
I wish to advise the Secretary that when a number of anti - epidemic measures were introduced in the past few months many Members including myself were full of opinions and sometimes we even lost our temper
政府上月宣布擴闊保就業計劃的涵蓋範圍，以包括那些有僱主為其作出強制性公積金自願性供款的年長 僱員。
Last month the Government announced the extension of the coverage of the Employment Support Scheme ESS to include among others those mature employees for whom their employers have made voluntary Mandatory Provident Fund MPF contributions
首先感謝謝偉俊議員對於鯉魚門商戶及食肆的關注。
For a start I would like to thank Mr Paul TSE for his concern about the shop operators and restaurants at LYM
事實上，正如很多市民都知道，《逃犯條例》導致旅遊、飲食、零售、批發及旅館等所有行業，現在均面對非常艱難的時期。
In fact as many members of the public are aware the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance has given rise to an extremely difficult time now faced by all industries such as the tourism catering retail wholesale and hotel industries etc
請問局長，對於這類受影響的參展商，政府有何方法支援他們，或者作出補償呢？
May I ask the Secretary what measures does the Government have in place to support or compensate these exhibitors being affected?
最後，我想多說一點，今年是香港回歸20周年，我希望建制派議員和泛民議員，因為是香港生日，不要再作爭拗，大家也能開開心心。
This year marks the 20 anniversary of the reunification . I hope Members from the pro - establishment camp and pan - democratic Members can refrain from embroiling in arguments as it is Hong Kongs birthday . Everyone can be happy
其實很多香港市民已親身經歷過這點，所以把焦點放在香港的醫療系統上，說醫療系統不夠好或不好的話，主席，我完全不認同。
Indeed many people in Hong Kong have personally experienced this . Therefore I totally disagree with focusing the discussion on the health care system of Hong Kong and claiming it is not good enough or simply not good Chairman
根據上述數據，我不明白為何剛才兩位議員，即張超雄議員和郭家麒議員，認為特區政府完全沒有照顧弱勢社群。
According to the aforementioned data I do not understand why the two Members namely Dr Fernando CHEUNG and Dr KWOK Ka - ki think that the Special Administrative Region SAR Government has failed completely to take care of the socially disadvantaged groups
增加資源幫助有需要人士是正確的做法，自由黨非常支持。
The Labour Party greatly supports the provision of additional resources to help the needy as it is right to do so
非建制派議員卻說特區政府和建制派完全不予支持，我認為這是非常不恰當的說法。
I consider it most inappropriate for Members of the non - establishment camp to say that the SAR Government and the pro - establishment camp are not at all supportive
我不敢說，因為在極度民主的情況下，日本只專注於選舉爭拗而忽略經濟。
I dare not comment on it because given its extreme degree of democracy Japan focuses merely on electoral disputes in disregard of the economy
他們不斷數算政府的不是，但大家都知道問題的真正癥結。
Some people keep counting the Governments faults but we all know the real crux of the problem
香港市民有錢，自然會生活安寧。
If Hong Kong people are rich they can naturally live in peace
如果這些省市經濟好，必定會幫助到香港，有別於其他國家，如新加坡、韓國、日本、馬來西亞等。
If these provinces and cities have a sound economy Hong Kong will definitely benefit unlike other countries such as Singapore Korea Japan Malaysia and so on
這其實就是香港最大的問題，做了好事，香港市民不知道，沒有人告訴他們，但每天都有人不斷重複說特首的壞處。
This is actually the biggest problem in Hong Kong . While the good deeds done by the Government are not known to the people of Hong Kong as they have not been informed accordingly people keep picking the Chief Executives faults
很明顯問題在於如何宣傳，商界稱為marketing，而在一個國家或地區，則稱為文宣。
Obviously the problem lies in promotion which is called marketing in the business world and publicity in a country or region
但是，特區政府應該有一個中央統籌處，例如文宣局，協助發放這些資料。
However the SAR Government should have a central coordinator such as a publicity bureau to help disseminate such information
及後，政府開始每天開設警方簡報會，向香港市民逐一澄清事件，香港市民才開始逐步明白。
Later as the Government started to hold daily police briefings and make clarifications of the events one by one the people of Hong Kong gradually had a better understanding
我現在不會說香港當時應如何抗疫，因為公道的說，特區政府很多官員在過去一年都很努力。
Now I am not going to comment on how Hong Kong should have fought the epidemic back then because to be fair many SAR government officials have worked very hard in the past year
縱使某些政策有對有錯，我相信他們都是全心全意為香港好。
Even though some of the policies were right and some were wrong I believe the officials were dedicated for the good of Hong Kong
當然，如果我們先處理好香港的內循環，市民願意消費的話，其實大家不用"餓死"。
Of course if we can promote domestic circulation in Hong Kong with members of the public contributing to local consumption various industries will not starve to death
所以，政府推出"百分百擔保特惠貸款"，當時確實幫助到很多企業。
Hence the Special 100 % Loan Guarantee could indeed help many enterprises at the time
我經常收到不同的來電，有很多朋友告訴我，他們已經借到"借無可借"，我們以往在會議上亦說過很多次"借無可借"，幾乎要去借"貴利"。
I often receive phone calls from friends telling me that they can borrow money from nowhere else which I have mentioned at previous meetings a number of times . As they have run out of lenders they almost have to take out loans from loan sharks
陸頌雄議員剛才在發言時亦特別提到，這是一項臨時性質的過渡支援。
As mentioned by Mr LUK Chung - hung in his speech just now this serves as a temporary transitional support measure
不過，他加入了"研究失業援助金安排"，我們自由黨過去多次說過，這類失業援助金其實現時的綜援制度本身也有。
However he added the wording conduct a study on the arrangement for an unemployment assistance . As we from the Liberal Party have stated repeatedly unemployment assistance of this type is actually available under the existing Comprehensive Social Security Assistance Scheme
政府有多少錢可以安置這些長者，令年青一代可以放心呢？
How much money does the Government have to take care of the elderly people so that the younger generation can ease their worries?
代理主席，我相信特區政府過去在各方面也做得不錯，否則，香港的男性和女性長者不會是全世界最長壽的，數字已說明一切。
Deputy President I believe the SAR Government has done a good job in various areas; otherwise Hong Kong will not boast the longest life expectancy for both male and female elders in the world . The numbers speak for themselves
剛才討論的"Pre醫療"，即是準備醫療方面，已令香港人十分長壽。
The pre - healthcare just discussed has contributed to the long life expectancy for Hong Kong people
現今如果仍說"謠言止於智者"，我認為是過分樂觀的看法，套用現代用語就是"佛系"。
Therefore it will be overly optimistic or Buddha - like in modern slang for us to say rumours stop at the wise these days
但是，我很憂慮假新聞、假消息和造謠的風氣永遠存在。
I am however deeply worried that fake news misinformation and rumour - mongering will always be around
古語有云："謠言止於智者"。
There is an adage saying that rumours stop at the wise
以"八三一"事件為例，有人明知是謠言也繼續散播，以致香港單就"八三一"事件便已糾纏1年。
Take the case of the 31 August incident as an example . As some people have kept spreading this rumour knowing that it is false; consequently this incident alone has haunted Hong Kong for a year
此事正好說明何謂"後真相時代"，即人們因應個人喜好及意願信納個別資料來源。
This case also explains the meaning of post - truth era . In the post - truth era members of the public consider the trustworthiness of each source of information based on their own preferences and personal will
這樣的話，我們的社會怎能安定？
As such how can our society be stable?
我們不希望特區政府是"佛系"政府。
We do not want the SAR Government to be Buddha - like
抗疫要多做工夫，阻止假資訊蔓延同樣要多做工夫。
It should step up its efforts not only to fight against the epidemic but also to combat the spread of misinformation
大家都知道，假消息的傳播比病毒傳播得更快、比病毒更毒，而且很難產生群體免疫力，我們應該如何應對？
As we all know misinformation can spread faster and is more lethal than viruses . Worse still herd immunity can hardly be developed against misinformation . So what should we do about misinformation?
我們可由此引證，"黑暴"時期假消息、假新聞及假資訊泛濫，正是因為造謠刑罰過低，結果導致香港飽受"黑暴"蹂躪。
Owing to the light penalty for rumour - mongering false information fake news and misinformation had run rife in the days of black violence resulting in Hong Kong being ravaged
第一，謀求一己私利、可以"有錢入袋"的人，例如聲稱為抗爭而眾籌，但其後到外國風流快活的人。
Those who chase after personal gains and aim to pocket money fall into the first category . A case in point is the crowdfunding organizers who claimed to fund raise for protest but eventually fled overseas to live merrily
大家都很清楚，現時也有關於疫苗的各種假資訊，影響大家接種的動機或心態，情況如同我剛才所說的普檢計劃。
It is crystal clear that the various kinds of misinformation about vaccines has discouraged members of the public from receiving vaccination . The whole situation is just like what happened to the universal testing programme that I mentioned earlier
其實，當時的目標是希望全港市民均進行一次檢測，但很可惜，由於有很多假消息和假資訊傳播，令全港市民的普檢計劃未能成功進行，亦影響日後的檢測工作。
Unfortunately tons of fake news and false information hindered the success of Hong Kongs universal testing programme and made an adverse impact on our future testing
我認為不是，因為有學者認為，人類在焦慮、恐慌和憤怒時會喪失理性，相信 謠言。
I do not think so . According to some scholars people may become irrational and believe in rumours when they are anxious panic - stricken and angry
要說香港人經歷假資訊最泛濫的時期，一定是2019年。
If one asks about the period when Hong Kong people experienced the prevalence of disinformation at its height I will say the answer is definitely 2019
當中最荒謬的，就是說太子站有人死了。
The most absurd of all is the rumour that somebody was killed at Prince Edward Station
所以，基於一種否定的機制的話，他們是不願意接受現實。
Therefore due to their denial mechanism they are unwilling to accept the reality
2019年為何假資訊如此泛濫，就是"黑暴"藉着假資訊來散播仇警、仇恨政府、仇恨國家等一系列。
The entire report is based on fake information and I do not need to talk too much about this . Why was disinformation so very rampant in 2019? . This is because black - clad mobs resorted to such information as a means to spread animosity towards the Police towards the Government and towards the country alike
代理主席，有一句話是"造謠一把嘴，闢謠跑斷腿"，虛假的資訊對社會遺害極深，原本應該用一個正確的邏輯來說，如果沒有假就不怕打假，但偏偏今時今日香港社會竟然說造假也要有自由。
Deputy President there is a saying which goes To spread rumours only needs a mouth; to bust rumours will tire one out . Disinformation is extremely detrimental to society . Any right - minded people will agree that one who never tells falsehood shall not fear any clampdown on falsehood
當大家也知道"黑暴"靠負面情緒推動時，以為訂立了《香港國安法》，今時今日社會回復平靜，又是否真呢？
Everybody knows that black - clad violence was driven by negative emotions thinking that the enactment of the Hong Kong National Security Law can restore peace to society today . But is this the reality?
主席，我動議我的修正案。
President I move my amendment
在一個如此難以維持法治的地方進行境外投票，除為了"種票"外，政府有否任何其他目的？
In implementing the external voting arrangement in a place where the rule of law can hardly be upheld what other objective does the Government have if not for vote rigging?
另一方面，據報由於個人防護裝備供應緊張，有醫護人員被要求重用保護衣或以紙袋暫存用過的口罩以供重用。
Moreover it has been reported that due to the tight supply of personal protective equipment PPE some healthcare personnel are requested to reuse their isolation gowns or temporarily keep their used face masks in paper bags for reuse
主席，今次對付"武漢肺炎"全賴香港人和醫護人員所盡的努力。
President the current fight against Wuhan pneumonia relies totally on the efforts made by Hong Kong people and the healthcare personnel
在這種情況下，我們說甚麼慶祝回歸？
Under such circumstances what is the point of us talking about celebrating the reunification?
香港人要的不是這些，不是福袋。
This is not what Hongkongers want not fortune bags
我以為在回歸20周年的慶典，應該有一位國內領導人我不知道屆時是"習總"來港，還是李克強總理來港帶來好消息。
I thought that in celebration of the 20 anniversary of the reunification there should be some good news from a State leader―I do not know whether President XI or Premier LI Keqiang will come to Hong Kong then
主席，今次的財政預算案有一些項目令香港人感到極為憤怒和莫名其妙，最重要的是，在香港回歸20周年、我們不知道有甚麼事值得慶祝時，香港特區政府竟大灑金錢，花6億4,000萬元進行所謂慶回歸活動。
Chairman some items in this Budget have made the people of Hong Kong extremely angry and puzzled . Most importantly when we wonder what is worth celebrating in respect of the 20 anniversary of the reunification of Hong Kong the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region SAR Government is going to lavish 640 million on organizing the so - called celebration activities for the reunification
不過，如果要哄一些大陸人來參與慶典，我想請他們看清楚香港現時的真相。
However if the Mainlanders are wooed to come to Hong Kong to participate in the celebrations I would like to ask them to take a good look at the truth in Hong Kong now
過去5年，香港社會嚴重撕裂，原因是梁振英要奉行中聯辦的旨意，要在香港將《基本法》訂明的"港人治港"、"高度自治"，甚至法治，慢慢取走。
Over the past five years Hong Kong society has been severely torn apart . The reason is that LEUNG Chun - ying needs to follow the order of the Liaison Office of the Central Peoples Government in the Hong Kong SAR to gradually take away the principles of Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy expressly stipulated in the Basic Law and even the rule of law from Hong Kong
香港人要的是公道，在《基本法》寫明的事，何曾兌現？
What Hongkongers want is justice . When have the promises expressly written in the Basic Law ever been honoured?
然而，最重要的是，回歸20年，市民問，我們得到甚麼？
However a most important question raised by members of the public 20 years after the reunification is what have we got?
港台的厄運不僅如此，因它還被削去數碼廣播。
RTHKs bad luck did not stop here for its digital broadcast will soon be ceased
大家也知道數碼廣播不容易經營，第一，要重新裝設一套轉播系統，每個站涉及數百萬至一千萬元；第二，要有人願意買數碼收音機來收聽；第三，要政府的政策配合。
We all know that the operation of digital broadcasting is not easy . First the operator has to install a new re - broadcasting system which costs several millions to a thousand million dollars per station . Second it relies on peoples willingness to buy a digital radio to tune into the programmes
大陸已封鎖所有香港傳媒，當然，《文匯報》、《大公報》和《香港商報》等共產黨的官報是一定可以看到的，其他肯定無商量。
The Mainland has already blocked all the media of Hong Kong . Of course one can definitely have access to official newspapers of the communist party like Wen Wei Po Ta Kung Po and Hong Kong Commercial Daily . Yet for other newspapers it is definitely impossible
我們作為一個亞洲國際城市，在廣播頻道方面竟如此差勁和離譜。
How could Hong Kong as a world city in Asia be so poor and out of place in broadcasting?
"777"很聰明，她先不回答問題，只說港台有一個節目是很好的，就是港台33台轉播的中央電視台英文節目，然後她即批評港台31台的質素差，播放的宣傳片落後，且只播放硬照等。
777 was very clever . She did not answer the question in the first place but said that one of the programmes of RTHK was very good and it was the English programme produced by the China Central Television CCTV re - broadcast by RTHK Channel 33 . She then criticized RTHK Channel 31 for its poor quality and the outdated promotion materials broadcast which only included still photos
自4月9日起，已經不斷有官員呼籲大家捐出器官拯救鄧桂思女士，甚至有立法會議員幾乎要進行緊急立法。
Many officials came forward to make repeated public calls for organ donation to save the life of Ms TANG Kwai - sze since 9 April . Some Legislative Council Members even intended to enact legislation for reason of urgency
大家現在可問任何人是否知悉醫管局的成員包括誰。
Members may ask anybody whether they have any knowledge of HAs membership
高局長是否還記得我們當時曾一同審視史葛報告書所說成立醫管局的要求為何？
Does Secretary Dr KO still remember our joint scrutiny of the criteria for setting up a Hospital Authority as set out in the Scott Report back then?
被他騙了四五年，結果2012年輪候公屋的時間要2.6年，2016年9月差不多上升1倍至4.5年。
After being deceived by the Government for four or five years people find that the waiting time for PRH has almost doubled from 2.6 years in 2012 to 4.5 years in September 2016
代理主席，如你所見，我們的問責高官，除了蕭局長在席外......
Deputy Chairman as you can see our senior officials under the accountability system other than Secretary Stephen SUI who is present He should listen to our debate anyway
2015年10月27日，一名工人被風煤樽連金屬籠擊中身亡，當局又做"大戲"，發出4張暫時停工通知書。
On 27 October 2015 a worker died after being struck by a metal cage containing oxy - acetylene cylinders; the authorities again put on a big show by issuing four suspension notices
這些事不是勞工處可以作主，因為整項工程是由政府和大財團......
It is not up to the Labour Department to decide these matters since the whole project is for the Government and large consortia Many of the large consortia participating in the project are Chinese state - owned enterprises including China Harbour Engineering Company Limited CHEC China State Construction International Holdings Limited CSCI and Chun Wo Development Holdings Limited Chun Wo which is owned as to about 50 % by an Inner Mongolian consortium
市民辛苦賺來的錢，就這樣被政府斷送。
In doing so the Government will be squandering peoples hard - earned money
違反香港利益的事情，每天都在立法會內發生，"搶錢"工程、"收買人命"工程，巧立名目，無論是體育、文化、環保，都成為淘空公帑的項目的最佳名稱。
Things contrary to the interests of Hong Kong happen in the Legislative Council every day . Rip - off projects and life - threatening projects are being introduced on all sorts of pretexts . Sports culture and environmental protection have become the best name choices for projects designed to empty the public purse
這樣做很合理，因為保皇黨或建制派一定會為政府保駕護航。
That was reasonable . Royalist or pro - establishment Members would definitely defend the Government and more importantly push for a time limit
至於把點名表決鐘鳴響時間由5分鐘改為1分鐘，我認為2分鐘比較合理，因為我同意人有三急、會有其他事情要處理或要接聽電話。
When it comes to the idea of shortening the duration of the division bell from five minutes to one minute I think it would be more reasonable to make it two minutes because I agree that sometimes Members do need to answer the call of nature attend to other matters or receive phone calls
總投票時間不會太長，只有180多項修正案，我們會有足夠時間在5月底前進行表決，最終不公義的議會亦會通過這份預算案。
The total voting time will not be too long as we have only 180 - odd amendments to deal with . We will have enough time to vote by the end of May . In any event this Budget will be passed by our unjust legislature ultimately
第二，以往曾發生很多"蝦碌"事件，也曾涉及民主派議員。
Second we have seen many pratfalls here before some involving Members from the pro - democracy camp as well
應該對他們好一點，以免發生任何意外，影響他們的健康。
We ought to treat them better lest any accident should happen and affect their health
因為長時間不小便會有壞處，也會引起很多併發症。
Holding back urination for a long time is bad for health and will lead to many complications
所以，把5分鐘減至1分鐘的做法，相當不合情理。
So it is very unreasonable to shorten the duration of the division bell from five minutes to one minute
主席，在整個辯論中，你奪去了很多時間，令議員未能認真審議和投票，但事實上沒有任何急切性。
Chairman you have taken away a lot of time from the whole debate thus making it impossible for Members to conduct the scrutiny and voting in a serious manner . Actually there is no pressing need for you to do so
這樣政府也能接受？
How could the Government take this?
這50多億元是納稅人付出的錢，用作地盤平整和興建建築物。
The 5 - odd billion which will be used on site formation and buildings construction is taxpayers money . If the Company wants to cook the books it can easily do so
如果我們爭氣點，做好旅遊的設施，真正積極找其他無論是世界上其他主題樂園的營辦商，或是讓香港的創意產業發揮力量，都不用這樣子"炒冷飯"，還要付出50多億元，還要視為如珠如寶。
If we have worked hard enough on improving our tourist facilities and finding worldwide other theme park operators or if we have let our own creative industries to play a part here we do not need to count on this out - dated theme park plus paying 5 - odd billion for something so precious
迪士尼的背景是，前朝政府簽訂了不平等協議，割地、付錢，興建一個以美國華特迪士尼為主的主題公園，但它只出很少錢，它出了豉油，卻拿了雞。
The Disneyland was founded on an unequal agreement signed by a previous Government . Under this agreement land was ceded to build a Walt Disney theme park here and the Walt Disney Company Company only needed to contribute a small portion of the money and received the bulk of the benefits
香港有很好的小型地區經濟，就是夜市和墟市。
Small district economies such as night markets and bazaars are quite flourished in Hong Kong
好了，還有一項與它有關的，就是郵輪碼頭。
Okay . There is one more issue related to it and that is the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal KTCT
當年是曾蔭權決定使用那幅土地的，但商經局看到它的營運條件這麼差勁，配套不足，根本是一個"假大空"的做法，根本沒有轉圜餘地，繼續讓它成為國際笑柄。
It was Donald TSANG who decided to use that site for the KTCT . Well aware that it is unrealistic and in vain to take forward this grandiose project because the site does not have the necessary conditions required for operation and ancillary facilities are poor the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau still took it forward and let it become an international subject of ridicule
但是，最離譜的是，我們還要繼續被它強搶，明知它在不平等協議下繼續"搵食"，還要把54億5,000萬元送給它。
But the absurdity is that we have to continue to be robbed by the Company . Well aware that the Company will continue to make money out of this unequal agreement the Government still hand over to it a 5.45 billion funding in exchange for frankly an outdated theme park
幸好香港人求生能力高，難聽一點說，如果單靠政府，早已死了幾次。
Stop fooling people please . Fortunately Hong Kong people are resilient . Frankly speaking they know that if they rely on the Government alone they are doomed to fail
儘管地價天價，無論成本有多高，政府如何沒有支持，仍然維持至今，但其實是自食其力的。
No matter how high the cost is and how unsupportive the Government has been they persevere with their own hard work
連政府自己都不支持香港電台，將數碼廣播殺掉。
The Government itself does not support the Radio Television Hong Kong and scraps digital broadcasting
香港人從2003年至今，看見這個所謂慶回歸活動、沒有普選、政府一塌糊塗、施政失敗、失效，唯有在這一天可以利用維園用腳走出市民心聲，但政府就連這一件事也要封殺。
Since 2003 1 July has been the day on which Hong Kong people have the only chance to vote with their feet via the Victoria Park against these so - called celebrations for reunification denial of universal suffrage poor governance as well as failure and ineffectiveness in policy implementation . Yet the Government even wants to constrain this too
我希望你沒有，因為這樣你還有丁點兒清白，因為你是真的負責創新科技，而非政治打壓工作。
I hope you have not so you can at least maintain a bit of innocence as it will imply that you are really working on IT but not political suppression
當然，這兩位醫生也有一定責任，我沒有能力、也不應該為他們解說和辯護。
True these two doctors have to be held accountable . I cannot and should not protect and defend them
當然，這些醫生做錯事，不能以創新科技為藉口，絕對沒有資格以此做藉口，不過，政府如何對待他們？
Of course doctors at fault cannot use IT as an excuse . They absolutely have no right to do so . However we may also consider how they are treated by the Government
但實質上，是否有這樣的土壤呢？
However is there really the right soil for promoting IT?
在7月1日炎熱天氣下，於維園舉行創新科技展覽，目的只有一個，便是要趕走、踢走民陣的遊行。
There is only one purpose for holding such an exhibition under the scorching hot weather in July at the Victory Park . They aim solely to drive out the march organized by CHRF
我們看到，餘下空間，可以發揮的只有很少。
We can realize that there is not much room left for the people to develop their creativity
創意資訊科技不是指程式硬件，是要有土壤讓人發揮創意。
IT does not mean programs and hardware only
我們是東施效顰，想學少許，卻學得不好，還弄出現在的殘局。
Trying to partially copy others practices we have learnt badly even ending up leaving such a mess instead
追求數字和撥款其實並無意思。
The pursuit of figures and funding does not make any sense indeed
有建議開設更多大學學位；雖然我不反對增加大學學額，但其實於事無補。
It has been suggested that more university places should be provided . While I do not oppose an increase in the number of university places this in fact will not remedy the situation
由於社會觀念扭曲，職業教育、技術教育和平等教育，全部都未能成事。
Owing to distorted social values all the concepts of vocational education technical education and educational equity have failed to materialize
難道這是預視在2047年之後，香港將完全跟從偉大祖國的一套？
Is this a projection that after 2047 Hong Kong will completely model on our great Motherland?
如果我們是真心為香港好，我們明白最重要的是政府能夠回應市民。
If we are genuinely working for the well - being of Hong Kong what matters most is that the Government will respond to members of the public
也許很多人喜歡當"木頭人"，但我們不會亦不想，即使市民也不想選70塊"木頭"在立法會內當"舉手機器"。
Perhaps many people like being wooden blocks but we will not and do not want to become wooden blocks; and members of the public do not wish to elect 70 wooden hand - raising machines to the Legislative Council
我們希望透過預算案的辯論，展示政府失敗的政策、失敗的撥款。
We wish to through the debate of the Budget expose the failure of the Government in its policies and proposed funding
可是，在基礎建設方面，他卻一點也不"手軟"。
However when it comes to infrastructure development he has pulled no punches at all
完成興建後，正如內地的國家發展和改革委員會所說，相信這條大橋對於促進廣東省東部的城市確實會相當有利；但對於香港又怎樣呢？
Upon completion of this Bridge as the National Development and Reform Commission of the Mainland has said this Bridge will indeed be most conducive to promoting the development of cities in the eastern part of Guangdong Province . But how about Hong Kong?
香港人亦要承受國內這些強行硬來的建設，除了在費用上"找數"之外，長遠還要在環境方面"找數"。
Hongkongers will also have to endure these developments which are being forced down our throats . Apart from having to foot the bill cost - wise we also have to foot the bill on the environment front in the long run
再加上醫療科技的開支，其實醫療方面的通脹遠高於其他方面的通脹，即使在通縮時，藥費和新儀器的費用仍不停地漲價。
Added to this is the expenditure on health care technology . In fact health care inflation has vastly outpaced that in other areas . Even in times of a deflation the costs of drugs and new equipment have kept on increasing
所以，當人口更趨老化時，我們看到原本預算佔整體公共開支17%的醫療費用，已是捉襟見肘。
Such being the case as the population continues to age we can see that the original estimate for health care expenditure as a share of 17 % in the total public expenditure is hardly adequate
