讓我讀一段亞里士多德的話，以作解釋："僭主國家通常的一些特點，就是貶低個人權利、高額的公共徵收、限制個人自由、管控宗教和言論的傳播渠道、引導並限制非政府組織的發展。
By way of explanation let me read out the words of Aristotle as follows Typically a tyrant has the following characteristics . He would belittle the rights of individuals levy high taxes restrict personal freedom control the spread of religion and the channels of communication as well as dictate and limit the development of non - governmental organizations
並且，國家政權主要追求象徵性的或道德性的治理目標，卻不真切追求現實性的目標。
Moreover the ruling regime is primarily pursuing symbolic or moralistic governance goals rather than realistic objectives
首先，我在此向大家道歉，因為我剛才援引錯了亞里士多德的話，引用了現代政治學的道理。
First of all I must apologize here because I misquoted Aristotle just now . What I quoted is a theory of modern political science
為了更正，我現在讀出亞里士多德對"僭主"所下的定義："一個不受最高法約束的統治者，以獲取自己的權勢和利益為第一目標，而不是為民眾爭取利益。為了保持自己的權勢，他會利用極端、殘酷和狡詐的策略來對付國內的人民，以及他所有的敵人"。
To correct myself I now read out Aristotles definition of tyrant one who rules without law looks to his own advantage rather than that of his subjects and uses extreme and cruel tactics―against his own people as well as others
這純粹是一項更正。
This is purely a correction
亞里士多德當然不會有非政府團體的概念，我剛才一引述完便知道自己錯了。
Aristotle certainly did not have the concept of non - governmental organizations . I knew I made a mistake as soon as I read out the quote just now
他們過去爭取興建郵輪碼頭，但現在郵輪碼頭"死"了。第二個快將誕生的殭屍就是東九龍的體育園。初時政府只有一個粗疏的概念，要令香港不但成為"動感之都"，還成為"體育之都"，把體育盛事化、普及化。
This once brought hope to Hong Kong people and led them to think that even if Hong Kong had nothing it would at least have the two areas of West Kowloon and East Kowloon where the public could have fun and develop culture
為何項目會越搞越大？
In this connection which Policy Bureaux do I hold accountable?
主席，盧偉國議員是一位相對資深的議員，應熟讀《基本法》。
Chairman Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok is a relatively senior Member . He should be well versed in the Basic Law
這張告票指我在2016年11月15日的發展事務委員會會議上作出了一些行為你也很熟識這項條例引起擾亂，致令該立法會事務委員會的會議程序中斷或相當可能中斷。
This summons accuses me of committing certain acts at the meeting of the Panel on Development on 15 November 2016―you are also well versed in this Ordinance―creating a disturbance which interrupted or was likely to interrupt the proceedings of that committee of the Council
我記得那天發生甚麼事，馬紹祥坐在那裏，我問他："奧雅納那件事情怎樣了？
I remember what happened on that day . Eric MA was sitting there . I asked him How is that matter of Ove Arup Partners Hong Kong Limited OAP?
梁游要進入會議廳開會，整群記者衝了入來，記者令會議中斷，你有沒有告發他們？
When LEUNG and YAU demanded admission to the Chamber to attend the meeting the whole group of reporters rushed in . The reporters interrupted the proceedings . Did you inform against them?
在我們的大小會議上，不論是陳健波議員、你或吳亮星，全部執行規則不公，引起抗議，令會議中斷。
In all of our meetings big or small all of you be it Mr CHAN Kin - por NG Leung - sing or you enforced the rules unfairly causing protests which interrupted the proceedings
真是太離譜了。
How outrageous it is!
我跟你說，梁振英是狼，狼噬人是正常的，他噬我。
Let me tell you LEUNG Chun - ying is a wolf . It is quite normal that a wolf will bite people . He bit me
我的名字是梁國雄，我在1997年、1998年、1999年、2000年、2001年、2002年均在旁聽席示威，遭控告同一項罪名。
My name is LEUNG Kwok - hung . In 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 and 2002 I protested in the public gallery and was charged with the same offence
當時立法會主席警告我，暫停會議後報警，然後警察找律政司控告我。
At that time the President of the Legislative Council warned me and filed a report with the Police after suspending the meeting . Then the Police approached the Department of Justice which prosecuted me
如果是這樣的話，主席，我建議你立即報警，由今屆開始，曾發生過多少次，議員有機會令立法會會議中斷？
If that is the case Chairman I suggest that you immediately file a report with the Police . Since the commencement of this term how many times have Members including those of the pro - establishment camp possibly caused an interruption of the proceedings of the Council?
主席，真是太過分了！
Chairman they have really gone too far!
我看到多年來這麼多屆立法會，建制派的"炮手"的質素真的越來越低，荒謬言論層出不窮。
Over the years the quality of bombardiers from the pro - establishment camp in the Legislative Councils of the previous terms has become increasingly worse and they were never short of nonsensical comments
我們最近看到"鼎鼎"自作聰明，因不懂使用電腦把原檔發放，自己出錯卻說是開誠布公。
Recently we have seen Holden CHOW try to play smart by disseminating an original file because of his lack of knowledge of using the computer . He has even tried to cover up his own fault claiming he was handling the matter in an open and transparent manner
我們今天也看到陸頌雄議員充當建制派"炮手"，炮打民主派，盲撐財政預算案。
Today we have also seen Mr LUK Chung - hung behave like a bombardier against the Democratic Party by blindly supporting the Budget
真正為我們面對的社會問題提出意見和解決方案又是甚麼意思？
What does it mean by expressing views on and proposing solutions to the social problems confronting us?
陸頌雄議員剛才說了一句頗恐怖的話，他說張超雄議員有認知矛盾，即政府增加支出但未能解決社會問題，陸議員因此說張超雄議員 有認知矛盾。
I find a remark made by Mr LUK Chung - hung just now quite terrifying . He said Dr Fernando CHEUNG suffered from cognitive dissonance in saying social problems could still not be resolved even with increases in government expenditure . As a result Mr LUK described Dr CHEUNG as suffering from cognitive dissonance
可是，我相信有認知矛盾的反而是陸議員，只要他看看社會上發生甚麼問題便會明白。
On the contrary I believe it was Mr LUK Chung - hung who had cognitive dissonance . He will understand what I mean if he takes a look at what problems there are in society
小罵大幫忙、故意挑剔、冷嘲熱諷等行為，完全不能直指問題核心。
Such behaviour as offering a big help on the pretext of mild condemnation deliberate nitpicking and making sarcastic remarks against someone can absolutely not pinpoint the crux of the problem
預算案旨在運用公帑解決問題，而如何運用公帑也牽涉財政分配。
The Budget seeks to make use of public funds to resolve problems and the utilization of public funds involves financial distribution too
香港的貧富懸殊問題十分嚴重，堅尼系數一直居高不下，名列先進地區之首，而且人權和自由所受到的保障也連年下降。
With the very serious disparity between the rich and the poor in Hong Kong the Gini coefficient which has remained high ranks first among advanced regions . Moreover the protection for human rights and freedom has been falling year after year
我們看到，香港的新聞自由在15年前，即2002年，名列第十八位，但現已跌至第七十三位。
As we can see press freedom has dropped from the 18 place in 2002 or 15 years ago to the 73 place at present
我們也看到，香港的選舉程序和多樣性在很多國際自由評分中的名次也相當低，應該說是越來越低。
We can also see that Hong Kongs ranking is quite low in its electoral procedure and diversity in terms of freedom ratings given by the international community . Or I should say it is getting increasingly low
香港的選舉制度正正令現在討論預算案時，一些真正代表市民和大多數人的意見無法在預算案內得到反映。
Hong Kongs electoral system has precisely made it impossible for our current discussion on the Budget to reflect in it the views of the majority and those truly representing the public
這才是我們要思考的問題。
This is precisely the question we should consider
這正正是香港面對財富不均和社會公義無法在議會內彰顯的困境。
This is precisely the predicament of Hong Kong in facing the uneven distribution of wealth and the failure of manifesting social justice in this Council
因此，當完善的政制改革未能進行，以及未能全面普選立法會議員的時候，這些抗爭和意見必然會繼續存在，修正案也必然會繼續提出。
As such these struggles and views will definitely continue to exist and amendments will definitely be proposed continuedly when a comprehensive political reform has yet to be carried out and Legislative Council Members cannot yet be returned by universal suffrage
我們反對預算案，反對在不公平的議會制度下，有這麼多人能夠以零票進入議會，導致議會向某些意見傾斜，不合理地代表某些市民的聲音。
Not only do we object to the Budget but we also object to so many people being able to join this Council with zero votes under the unfair parliamentary assembly system thereby making this Council tilt towards certain views and represent the voices of certain people in an unreasonable manner
在這些情況繼續發生的時候，預算案注定會向某些人傾斜，而他們一定不是社會上最有需要和大部分人士。
Should the situation remain unchanged the Budget is doomed to tilt towards certain people and they are definitely not the majority in society with the greatest needs
對於剛才很多針對預算案的修正案，不少建制派議員都提出強烈意見，例如對於反對慶祝回歸的開支，廖長江議員和陸頌雄議員都有提出意見。
Quite a number of Members from the pro - establishment camp have presented strong views on the amendments pinpointing the Budget just now . For instance both Mr Martin LIAO and Mr LUK Chung - hung expressed views on the opposition to the expenditure on celebrations of the reunification
陸頌雄議員表示花費有限，僅為6億4,000萬元，然後說提出反對就是對國家疏離的表現。
According to Mr LUK Chung - hung the expenditure of a mere 640 million was actually a small amount . Then he added that raising objection is an indication of alienation from the country
我也想澄清反對慶祝回歸活動的原因：第一，6億4,000萬元並非小數目，陸頌雄議員說自己為民生、為工人打拼，但對於花這筆錢舉辦慶祝活動，他完全不在乎。
Here I would also like to clarify my reasons for raising objection to the celebration activities Firstly the sum of 640 is not small . Mr LUK Chung - hung said that he was fighting for peoples livelihood and workers but he was absolutely not concerned about spending this sum of money on holding celebration activities
香港回歸已有20年之久，但人心根本一點也沒有回歸，原因是過去共產政權對香港市民進行壓迫，並且與我們追求的價值，我們從教育中學習的人權和自由，全都相違背。
Although Hong Kongs reunification took place two decades ago the hearts of the people have basically not yet returned to China . Because the communist regime suppressed the people of Hong Kong in the past and its suppression was totally contradictory to the values pursued by us as well as the human rights and freedom we have learnt from receiving education
試問我們在這20年見證着香港 一步一步向後退，又有甚麼事情值得高興呢？
Given that we have witnessed Hong Kong regress step by step in the past what is worth celebrating?
這正正是我認為回歸未必值得慶祝，反而需要檢討的原因。
This is precisely why I think that the reunification is not necessarily worth celebrating and on the contrary a review is warranted
年青人向上流動不足，大學畢業後的月薪與20年前相差無幾。
With the young peoples inadequate upward mobility and their monthly income after university graduation being more or less the same as that two decades ago society will only continue to shrink
這些情況只會令社會不斷萎靡，也令準備投身社會、擔當社會中流砥柱的人感到毫無動力，失去信心的重要原因。
Moreover people preparing to join society and serve as societys pillar will feel that they are not at all motivated and have lost faith
所以，基於以上種種原因，我反對今年的預算案。
Therefore for the aforesaid reasons I oppose the Budget this year
剛才數位議員，包括"班長"廖長江議員及何君堯議員，都針對連日來關於預算案的討論發表了意見，指責議員"拉布"，浪費納稅人的錢，浪費納稅人時間。
Just now a few Members including Class Monitor Martin LIAO and Dr Junius HO have focused their speeches on the discussions on the Budget in the past few days accusing Members of filibustering and wasting taxpayers money and time
現時的政局存在的一個最大問題，就是我們的政府缺乏認受性。
The major problem of the current political situation is that our Government lacks recognition
在世界各地，我們討論一個地方政府有否效率，或施政是否暢順，有數個特別重要的原則，包括政府的問責性，以及它能否適切回應市民的訴求。
When we discuss whether a government in any place of the world is efficient or is smooth in policy implementation there are a few important criteria that we must look at which include the accountability of the Government and its ability to respond to peoples aspirations
在很多研究中，香港政府在這個層面上是非常低分的。
As shown in many findings the HKSAR Government scored very badly in these areas
多位議員現時反對政府的政策，反對將這50多個總目的款額納入附表，原因是政府在過去沒有反映適切的問責性，沒有聆聽市民的訴求，平衡各方的意見，從而制訂合適的政策。
Presently a large number of Members oppose government policies and oppose the proposal to have some 50 heads standing part of the Schedule for reasons that the Government has failed in the past to demonstrate appropriate accountability listen to peoples aspirations and balance the views of all parties in order to formulate appropriate policies
我們過去針對不同政策，指出每項不同政策的弊病。
Previously we had identified various shortcomings in respect of different policies
歸根究底，多項政策都出現問題，原因是政府運作不暢順，無法吸納不同的人、不同議員、不同市民的意見，從而導致制訂政策時出現結構性的問題，政府將利益向財團及大地產商傾斜，向中方傾斜。
After all there are problems with the majority of policies as the Government has failed to operate smoothly and did not take on board the views of different people including Members or people from all walks of life thereby giving rise to structural problems in the formulation of policies which tilt toward consortium major estate developers and China
這正是我們面對的困境。
This is precisely the predicament that we are facing
我們要表明，在議會內，不受廣大市民歡迎的議案，不獲代表多數民意的民主派支持的議案都能夠獲得通過時，我們有甚麼策略可以抵抗。
In this Council when motions not welcomed by the general public or not supported by the democratic camp which represents major public views can be endorsed what kind of strategy can we use to fight back?
這正是"拉布"在這數年出現的契機，這亦充滿社會因素。
It was opportune that filibustering has arisen in recent years and social factors are also involved
如果何君堯議員或廖長江議員都覺得我們不應該針對政策發言，不應該將我們的聲音透過議會的辯論說出來，這是開文明的倒車。
If both Dr Junius HO and Mr Martin LIAO think that we should not speak on the policies or voice out our opinions during the debates of this Council it is indeed a backpedaling on civilization
梁議員，我針對剛才何君堯議員及廖長江議員的發言，表達了一些意見。
Mr LEUNG I have expressed some views in response to the speeches given by Dr Junius HO and Mr Martin LIAO earlier
接下來，我會說說反對附表納入《條例草案》的原因。
Next I will explain why I oppose the motion to have the Schedule standing part of the Bill
其實，議會開倒車的跡象不僅可在一些議員的意見中看到，還可在關於預算案的討論及梁議員的裁決中看到。
In fact signs of retrogression of this Council are not only reflected in the opinions expressed by Members but also in the discussion of the Budget and the rulings made by Mr LEUNG
在今次的預算案中，我們只有大約60小時辯論185項修正案，每項辯論的時間只是大約5至7小時， 根本沒有充足時間讓提出不同修正案的議員，清晰指出提出修正案的原意及理據。
In this Budget debate we only have about 60 hours to debate 185 amendments and each debate session lasts for about 5 to 7 hours . There is downright insufficient time for Members who have proposed different amendments to clearly elaborate on the objectives and justifications of their amendments
就今次的預算案，我提出了17項修正案，但我只在全體委員會審議階段發言了11次，很多市民很關注、社會急需改革的政策，包括在職家庭及學生資助事務處、香港電台等議題相關的政策，我都無法在今次的發言中談及。
I have proposed 17 amendments for this years Budget but I have only spoken 11 times during the Committee stage . Therefore I cannot talk about a number of policies that the public are greatly concerned about and that changes should urgently be made this include policies relating to working families Student Financial Assistance Agency and Radio Hong Kong
第3項辯論"扶貧、福利及醫療服務、安老、公共衞生及人口政策"，更加沒有充足時間讓我輪候發言。
In the third debate session on Poverty Alleviation Welfare and Medical Services Elderly Care Public Health and Population Policy there is even less time for me to take my turn to speak again
正如剛才多位議員所說，回歸20年，主權移交20年，關乎我們討論政府政策，我們發覺立法會監察行政當局的能力，尤其是財政上的監察能力依然十分差。
As pointed out by a number of Members 20 years have passed since the reunification and the handover of sovereignty but regarding our discussion of government policies we find that the Legislative Council is still very weak in monitoring the Government especially in respect of the financial monitoring capability
我們面對這種行政霸權，政府完全不肯吸納立法會的聲音。我對於過去立法會監察財政的能力及政府行事的態度，實在相當失望。
In the face of such administrative hegemony of the Government and its flat refusal to take on board the views of the Legislative Council I am really disappointed at the capability of the Legislative Council in monitoring the Governments finance; I am also disappointed at the attitude of the Government in conducting business
基建項目快速獲得通過，成為政府最大的開支，主權移交20年來，基建開支增加了291%。
As a result of the expedient approval of infrastructure projects they have become the largest expenditure items of the Government . Over the past 20 years since the handover of sovereignty infrastructure spending has increased by 291 %
即使我們知道過去很多修正案都不獲通過，但我們仍要把握時間發言，反對把附表納入《條例草案》。
Although we are aware that most of the amendments were unable to get through in the past we still want to seize this opportunity to speak to oppose the Schedule standing part of the Bill
我之所以要將事務委員會可以解決的一些疑問、政策方向提交立法會會議，是因為政府部門從沒有認真看待議會對於預算案內容的質詢，在事務委員會回答得非常馬虎，對書面質詢也不認真回覆，在會議上左閃右避，拖延時間，待主席"剪布"，數夠票就覺得過了關，被追問補充質詢時才簡短回應。
The reason is that the government departments have never dealt seriously with the questions on the Estimates of Expenditure . Questions raised at the panel meetings were answered perfunctorily and responses to written questions were also not seriously answered . At meetings public officials adopted a sloppy evasive and dilatory tactic they waited for the President to cut off the filibuster and considered that their job was done after securing enough votes and if supplementary questions were asked they would just give a brief response
官員過去有很多失職失責，導致議會現時面對很多問題及困難，無法在事務委員會平日的會議當中處理。
Owing to the dereliction of duty on the part of public officers many problems and difficulties thus arisen could not be dealt with by panels at their regular meetings
我們認為附表不應該納入《條例草案》，原因是議會無法有效運作。
We hold that the Schedule should not stand part of the Bill because the Council has failed to function properly
例如，民建聯每年花費1億多元籠絡選民，對民主發展及議會發展帶來相當大的禍害。
For example each year the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong spends hundreds of millions of dollars to win electors support which has brought disastrous consequences to the development of democracy and this Council
過去數年，由"拉布"至我們現時策略性看待議會，我們秉持不同的方向，真正把有道理、符合事實基礎、民主原則的事情說出來時，一直面對建制派的非議。
From the launching of filibuster a few years ago to adopting the present strategic approach we have been upholding our principles to tell the true facts which are reasonable well - grounded and compliant with the democratic principles
但是，我要替市民問一句，建制派針對預算案，沒有發言，又沒有討價還價，做了甚麼呢？
Yet we have all along been criticized by the pro - establishment camp May I ask Members of the pro - establishment camp on behalf of the masses What have they done in respect of the Budget if they refuse to speak or bargain?
你們有否為市民大聲疾呼？
Have they cried out loud for members of the public?
還是只像何君堯議員般在這裏"打水炮"，用一些難聽的話問候議員的家人，然後平時又做出諸如在法庭自拍等教壞小朋友、他所說的瑣碎無聊的事情呢？
Or have they merely taken some meaningless actions in this Council like Dr Junius HO who used disgusting words to greet family members of Members or took some frivolous acts like taking selfies in court that set a bad example to children?
我們作為民選議員，面對如此腐朽的制度，滋生如此多有害民生的政策，還怎能夠支持預算案呢？
As elected Members in the face of such a corrupt system which has developed so many policies that are detrimental to peoples livelihood how can we support the Budget?
行政機關獨大、不透明，議會畸形導致無法監察，我們唯一可以做的，就是用反對票向市民說清楚，我們不單反對預算案，更反對這種如此禍害市民的政府及議會的結構。
While our Executive Authorities is dominant and lacks transparency the queer legislature fails to play a monitoring role . The only thing we can do is to use our opposing votes to tell members of the public loud and clear that we not only oppose the Budget but also the structure of the Government and this Council which has brought disasters to members of the public
梁議員。我今次發言，首先會針對律政司的整體表現作出評論。
Mr LEUNG I will first comment on the overall performance of the Department of Justice DoJ
法治是香港十分重要的價值，我相信大家都會同意。
The rule of law is a very important value of Hong Kong and I believe Honourable colleagues will agree
法治是香港其中一個重要元素，也是香港能夠保持國際地位和競爭力的一個十分重要因素。
The rule of law is one of the important elements of Hong Kong and it is also a very important factor that allows Hong Kong to maintain an international status and its competitive edge
大陸創科潮已經持續一段很長時間，但這些朋友告訴我，如果大陸的產品想打入國際市場，仍然要回到香港。
The innovation and technology trend has sustained for a long time in the Mainland . But according to these friends Mainland products have to via Hong Kong to enter the international market
大陸公司要走出國際，也要回到香港，因為香港是金漆品牌，香港的信譽和制度令人有信心。
Similarly Mainland companies have to come to Hong Kong if they want to go global . The reasons are that Hong Kong enjoys high reputation and people have confidence in our credibility and system
這論證了香港的法治為何那麼重要。
This demonstrates why the rule of law in Hong Kong is so important
過去數年，律政司在捍衞法治方面，的確沒有做好他的工作，甚至任由北京透過不合理的舉動，干預及破壞香港的法治，律政司沒有做好捍衞法治或把關的工作。
In the past few years DoJ has not done a good job in defending the rule of law and it even allows Beijing to intervene in and undermine the rule of law in Hong Kong through unreasonable actions . DoJ has not done a good gatekeeping job of defending the rule of law
第二次遊行是近期針對釋法，有3,000人上街。
The second procession was held recently to protest against the interpretation of the Basic Law and 3 000 people participated
我以針對《基本法》釋法作為一個例子，大家都清楚，由於過去出現多次宣誓風波，或大家所說的"港獨"風波，北京政府因而釋法，"大石砸死蟹"。
Let me cite the interpretation of the Basic Law as an example . It is known to all that owing to the oath - taking controversies or the so - called Hong Kong independence controversies in the past the Beijing Government interpreted the Basic Law to exert its power over us
讓我們看看《基本法》有關釋法的條文："由香港特別行政區終審法院請全國人民代表大會常務委員會對有關條款作出解釋。
Let us take a look at the provisions of the Basic Law relating to the interpretation of the law seek an interpretation of the relevant provisions from the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress through the Court of Final Appeal of the Region
"為何法律界和市民那麼強烈地反抗？
Why do the legal profession and the public have such strong resistance?
因為終審法院還未審判、政府還未說話，人大常委便肆意運用權力，繞過程序進行釋法。
Because NPCSC had wantonly exercised its power and bypassed procedures to interpret the law before the Court of Final Appeal had passed a judgment or before the Government had made any comments
更重要的是，律政司就這方面完全沒有說過一句話。
More important still DoJ had not made any comment
司長和屬下都沒有，整個律政司也沒有，的確會令大家對律政司是否真的恪守中立，捍衞香港法治響起警號。
The Secretary for Justice and his subordinates and the entire DoJ had not made any comments . This really sets off an alarm as to whether DoJ has genuinely abided by neutrality and defended the rule of law in Hong Kong
大家抱有很大的疑問。
People are really doubtful
其實，上次釋法根本不符合現時《基本法》的規定。
In fact the last interpretation of the Basic Law does not conform to the current provisions of the Basic Law
更重要的是，似乎社會、律政司和建制派都握着"尚方寶劍"，要斬除所有與他的立場不一致的人。
More importantly it seems that the community DoJ and the pro - establishment camp are holding the imperial sword to eradicate all those having different positions
所以，我們都對社會、法治和我們的核心價值和公民價值響起警號。
Therefore we have to be vigilant regarding the community the rule of law our core values and civic values
我相信大家都知道，在一個社會的制度下，不應該有人因為某個立場而攻擊或傷害任何個體。
Under a social system nobody should attack or hurt others because of certain positions
假如那件事有普世價值，而且大家都認為是基本人權，我們不會因為某個立場而放棄應有的做法。
If universal values are involved and we consider such values as basic human rights we will not give up what should be done because of certain positions
即使有人遇到一個與自己的政見不一樣的人，不管對方多麼離譜，只要對方有生命危險，他也會拯救那人。
If someone whose political views are different from yours is in a life - threatening condition no matter how outrageous that person is you will try to save him
這是我們對於制度和價值的核心理解。
This is our core understanding of the system and the values
但是，釋法風波不是這樣，有人看到別人說出與國家基本意識形態有衝突的話，便會攻擊他，但這種事情以往非常少見。
However the controversy over the interpretation of the Basic Law is another story . Anyone who makes remarks contrary to the basic ideology of the country will be attacked . This incident rarely happened in the past
假如律政司司長信奉這個制度，相信法治保障每一個人的權利，而不是被政權或有權力的人肆意濫用，他便應該發聲。
If the Secretary for Justice upholds this system and believes that the rule of law protects the rights of people and such rights should not be wantonly abused by the regime or by people in power he should speak up
雖然某人的說法與北京政府或習近平不一樣，但他應該可以參與選舉，因為選舉權和被選舉權是一個人的基本權利。
Even if someones arguments are different from those of the Beijing Government or XI Jinping he should be able to take part in the election because the right to vote and the right to be elected are the basic rights of an individual
對香港制度會造成傷害的原因是，國家可以將其意識形態完全凌駕於市民的利益上。
Our system is sabotaged because the countrys ideology can completely override the interests of the public
這已經不是利益分配的問題，而是赤裸裸的威權壓境，用意識形態鼓吹人民內部鬥爭，打壓異見聲音。
This is no longer an issue relating to the distribution of benefits but an out - and - out suppression using ideology to instigate wrangling among people and suppress the dissidents
假如釋法是不義的，他實在扭曲遊戲規則，從而作出這些決定。
If the interpretation of the Basic Law is unrighteous he has really distorted the rules of the game to facilitate making these decisions
坊間很多人說，有法便應該守， 他們不會了解一下，法律是否合乎社會道德，他們也不會了解一下，法律究竟經過甚麼程序，是不是很粗暴地讓一些人大常委憑着政治意志行事，去干預、踐踏。
Many members of the public opine that we should abide by the laws but they will not try to understand whether the laws are consistent with social morality and whether the laws have arbitrarily allowed NPCSC to intervene according to their political will?
律政司沒有向公眾解釋。
The Secretary for Justice has not given the public any explanation
更重要的是以法達義，達到公義、正義。
More importantly justice should be served according to the laws
為甚麼有法可依不代表以法達義，因為法律有可能因為已經過時而對社會造成傷害。
Why is it that having laws to go by does not mean justice can be served? . It is because out - dated laws may do harm to society
第二，法律亦可以為當權者打壓異見人士或他們不喜歡的事情而設。
Second the laws can also be used by those in power to suppress dissidents or things they detest
我們通常稱之為惡法，例如《公安條例》。
We often refer to such laws as draconian laws; for example the Public Order Ordinance
