要讓"一國兩制"行穩致遠，香港社會，特別是青年人，一定要對"一國兩制"有全面、正確的了解和認識，要明白國家安全、國家領土完整，以及國家的主權和整體利益，是不能觸碰的底線，是每一個香港人都應該恪守的。
It laid the very foundation for Hong Kong to develop further and better . In order to ensure the robustness of one country two systems the Hong Kong community especially our young people must have a comprehensive and correct understanding and appreciation of one country two systems . They have to understand that national security territorial integrity as well as the sovereignty and overall interests of our nation are the bottom line that cannot be touched and should be adhered to by all Hong Kong people
歸根結底，"一國"是"兩制"的前提，或者可以說是根本，這是非常重要的。
After all one country is the prerequisite or foundation for two systems and this is the golden rule
因此要建設一個好的香港，必須增強市民的國家意識，以及他們對《憲法》、《基本法》、《香港國安法》和"一國兩制"的認識。
Therefore the healthy development of Hong Kong hinges on the enhancement of peoples national consciousness and their understanding of the Constitution the Basic Law the National Security Law and one country two systems
首先，在國家安全教育方面，《香港國安法》自去年6月實施以來，發揮了定海神針的作用，使香港在治安方面重回正軌，社會明顯恢復穩定。
First of all regarding national security education the National Security Law has served as the pillar of the ocean for Hong Kong since its implementation last June . It has brought our law and order back onto the right track and social stability has apparently been restored
特區政府會鞏固這方面的成果，繼續落實《香港國安法》的內容和精神，通過不同方式的宣傳和教育，尤其是在學校開展國家安全教育，幫助學生正確地認識《香港國安法》，提高學生的國家安全意識和守法意識，共同維護國家安全。
The SAR Government will consolidate the achievements in this regard and continue to implement the letter and spirit of the National Security Law . Promotional and educational efforts will be made through different means especially national security education at school to help students gain a correct understanding of the National Security Law and enhance their understanding of national security and law - abiding awareness with the aim of safeguarding national security
特區政府非常重視加強香港市民的國家意識和國民身份認同，尤其是青年人要有正確的國家觀、民族觀和歷史觀。
The SAR Government attaches great importance to enhancing Hong Kong peoples awareness of the country and their national identity especially cultivating in youngsters a proper sense of the nation its people and its history
推行國民教育是學校應有之責，學校應着力提升學生對國家發展、中華文化和國情的認識，深化《憲法》、《基本法》和國家安全教育，培養同學的正面價值觀，加強他們對國家的向心力、認同感和歸屬感，為香港的繁榮穩定發展奠定人才基礎。
It is the intrinsic duty of schools to implement national education . Schools should be committed to increasing students understanding of the history culture and developments of our country strengthening education on the Constitution the Basic Law and national security fostering positive values among students and developing in them national cohesion as well as a sense of identity and belonging towards the nation with a view to laying a strong foundation for our future talent to contribute to the prosperous and stable development of Hong Kong
特區政府會繼續多管齊下，加大力度向社會各階層及不同組群全面加強推廣和教育的工作，加深市民對《憲法》、《基本法》、《香港國安法》和"一國兩制"的認識。
With a view to enhancing the publics understanding of the Constitution the Basic Law the National Security Law and one country two systems the SAR Government will continue to fully step up its promotional and educational efforts for different people and groups in society by adopting a multi - pronged approach
剛才公務員事務局局長已解釋，政府已為新入職公務員引入安排，要求所有在去年7月1日或之後加入特區政府的公務員宣誓或簽署聲明，作為聘用條件的一部分。
As explained by the Secretary for the Civil Service just now the Government has introduced an arrangement for new appointees to the civil service requiring all civil servants joining the SAR Government on or after 1 July last year to take an oath or sign a declaration as one of the conditions for appointment
至於在去年7月1日前受聘的公務員，公務員事務局已於1月15日發出通告公布要求有關人員宣誓/簽署聲明的安排。
With regard to civil servants appointed to the civil service before 1 July last year the Civil Service Bureau issued a circular on 15 January to promulgate the arrangement for them to take an oath or sign a declaration
聲明雖然只是一紙文書，但實則具有重大而深遠的意義，並有標誌性的作用，能讓公務員公開確認他們所肩負的責任，真切體現國家和社會對公務員的要求，有助進一步維護和推廣公務員隊伍應該恪守 的核心價值，並確保香港特區政府能有效管治，全面準確貫徹"一國兩制"、"港人治港"、"高度自治"方針。
While the declaration document is just a piece of paper it bears great and far - reaching significance and carries a symbolic meaning . This arrangement enables civil servants to openly acknowledge their due responsibilities and manifests genuinely the countrys and societys expectations of civil servants . This can further safeguard and promote the core values that should be upheld by civil servants thereby ensuring the effective governance of the HKSAR Government and enabling us to comprehensively and accurately implement the principles of one country two systems Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy
至於其他公職人員宣誓的安排，我們現正積極研究此課題，會適時公布具體方案。
As for the oath - taking arrangement for other public officers we are now actively studying this issue . The implementation details will be announced at an appropriate juncture
在中央全面支持香港的環節上，我想強調國家是香港的底氣所在，也是機遇所在。
In the debate session about the Central Governments full support for Hong Kong I would like to emphasize that China not only gives Hong Kong fundamental strength but also provides ample opportunities
香港的發展離不開國家，一直以不同的角色和形式參與和融入國家發展，作出貢獻。
While Hong Kongs advancement hinges heavily on our country we have in different roles and ways integrated ourselves into the progression pathway of our country
國家十分支持香港的經濟發展，我們要好好把握大灣區發展和"一帶一路"項目帶來的新機遇，以及要積極成為國內大循環的參與者和國際循環的促成者，為香港未來的經濟和社會發展開拓新空間，注入新動力。
With the nations unsurpassed support to our economic development we should capitalize on the new opportunities arising from GBA Development and the Belt and Road projects and proactively become a participant in domestic circulation and a facilitator in international circulation so as to bring room and new impetus for Hong Kongs economic and social development
施政報告涵蓋了中央政府在7個主要政策方向的支持，惠港措施範圍遠超從前，實在是提振人心，是施政報告的亮點之一。
With the Central Governments support in seven major policy directions the benefiting measures announced in the Policy Address are far more extensive than previous ones . This is very encouraging and is one of the key highlights of the Policy Address
當中的措施以大灣區發展為主軸，有助鞏固和提升香港國際金融中心及國際航空樞紐的地位，銳意發展香港成為國際創新科技中心，並會完善港深陸路口岸建設和協助港企開拓內地市場。
Taking the development of GBA as the main axle these measures aim to consolidate and enhance Hong Kongs status as an international financial centre as well as an international aviation hub develop Hong Kong into an international innovation and technology hub improve the infrastructure of land boundary control points between Hong Kong and Shenzhen and facilitate Hong Kong enterprises to tap the Mainland domestic market
其中，中央政府大力支持港深合作建設大灣區國際科技創新中心，同意港深政府可共同建設深港科技創新合作區的深圳園區，以及位於落馬洲河套的香港園區，實現"一國兩制"下，位處"一河兩岸"的"一區兩園"，推動港深兩地創科產業生態鏈，為香港青年人創造更多就業和創業機會。
In particular the Central Government strongly supports the cooperation between Hong Kong and Shenzhen in developing an international innovation and technology IT hub in GBA and has agreed to their joint development of the ShenzhenHong Kong Innovation and Technology Co - operation Zone which comprises the Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Zone and the Hong Kong - Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park at the Lok Ma Chau Loop with a view to establishing one zone two parks at one river two banks under the auspices of one country two systems . This initiative will foster the development of the ecological chain of the IT industry in Hong Kong and Shenzhen offering more employment and start - up business opportunities for the young people of Hong Kong
保安局和深圳市政府亦已成立一個專責工作小組，跟進新皇崗口岸"一地兩檢"的安排。
A dedicated working group has already been set up by the Security Bureau and the Shenzhen Municipal Government to follow up on the co - location arrangements at the new Huanggang Port
中央對香港的全面支持，不單是協助香港融入國家發展大局，更在不同方面對香港施以援手，包括新冠肺炎的防疫抗疫工作，這是大家都很清楚的。
The full support from the Central Government goes beyond helping Hong Kong integrate into the overall national development . The Central Government has also given Hong Kong a helping hand in different areas including the prevention and control of COVID - 19 which is well - known to us all
在中央政府的大力支持和協助下，我們大大提升了社區的檢測能力、增設社區治療設施和興建臨時醫院等，而臨時醫院昨天已正式竣工。
With the strong support and assistance of the Central Government we have greatly enhanced our community testing capability set up new community treatment facilities and constructed a temporary hospital . The construction works of the hospital was officially completed yesterday
這些充分體現中央對香港一貫以來的關顧和支持，顯示國家始終是香港最堅強的後盾。
These examples have clearly reflected the Central Governments long - standing care and support for Hong Kong proving that our country has been Hong Kongs staunchest support at all times
政府充分明白，持續的疫情和防疫抗疫措施對市民日常生活和就業，以及企業營運帶來不同程度的影響，令不少市民失業或開工不足，行業百上加斤，經營困難。
The Government fully understands that the persistent epidemic and relevant anti - epidemic measures have created different extent of impact upon the daily lives and employment of individuals and the operation of enterprises . Many people have lost their jobs or become underemployed while various sectors are facing heavier burden and operating difficulties
面對如此嚴峻的挑戰，政府在去年2月成立基金，並於4月、9月和12月向立法會財務委員會申請向基金注資，一方面提升香港本身的防疫抗疫能力，另一方面為受疫情重創或受防疫抗疫措施影響較大的行業及市民提供適切的援助。
In view of these challenges the Government introduced AEF in February last year and sought funding approval for injection into AEF from the Finance Committee FC of the Legislative Council in April September and December to enhance our anti - epidemic capability and provide suitable relief to sectors and individuals hard hit by the epidemic or affected by the anti - epidemic measures
基金獲批准的總承擔金額已達1,623億元。
A total financial commitment of 162.3 billion was approved for AEF
防疫抗疫基金督導委員會由我擔任主席，先後共批出約120項措施，總承擔金額約1,600億元，項目涵蓋很多行業和不同有需要組群，範圍廣泛。
The AEF Steering Committee chaired by me has approved a total of about 120 measures with a total financial commitment of around 160 billion covering a wide spectrum of sectors and groups in need
截至去年12月18日，基金有40個項目已經完成，並已動用超過1,300億元的款項，惠及超過680萬人次及近78萬個由企業/商戶等提交的申請。
As of 18 December last year 40 AEF projects were completed and over 130 billion were spent benefiting more than 6.8 million persons and almost 780 000 applications had been submitted by enterprisesbusinesses
我們亦已經派出約1,000萬個銅芯抗疫口罩。
We have also distributed about 10 million CuMasks
政府會繼續落實仍在進行的基金措施，同時，督導委員會亦會繼續在考慮疫情的發展、不同行業持份者的意見及其實際經營環境後，按相關政策局和部門提出的建議，我們會善用基金的餘款，向被疫情重創的行業提供支援及協助。
While the Government will continue to implement the AEF measures underway the AEF Steering Committee will having regard to the development of the epidemic views from various industry stakeholders and their actual business situation continue to optimize the remaining balance of AEF based on the proposals put forth by the relevant bureaux and departments to provide support and assistance to sectors hard hit by the epidemic
連同去年財政預算案和施政報告公布的一連串措施，政府至今已推出總值超過3,100億元的紓困措施，佔本地生產總值約11%。
Coupled with the series of initiatives announced in the Budget and Policy Address delivered last year the government relief measures have added up to an expenditure of over 310 billion accounting for about 11 % of the Gross Domestic Product
主席，我想在這裏談談行政立法關係。
President now I would like to turn to the executive - legislature relationship
本屆政府一直多次強調，並以行動證明我們非常重視立法會和尊重立法會制衡行政機關的功能，但亦期盼行政立法機關能夠互相配合，就較有爭議性但與香港長遠利益攸關的議題建立共識。
The current - term Government has repeatedly stressed that we value the Legislative Council and respect its function of keeping the executive branch in check . We have actually put our words into action . However it is also our hope that the executive and the legislature can work together to reach a consensus on controversial issues that concern the long - term interests of Hong Kong
我們這屆政府有不少政策措施是經吸納議員的意見，當然包括政黨，例如劃一法定假日和公眾假期；增加會議及展覽設施；推動大灣區金融發展；放寬"人人暢道通行"計劃安裝升降機的門檻；資助舊樓業主優化舊式升降機。
The current - term Government has taken on board the views of Members and certainly the views of political parties in formulating many of our policy initiatives . The alignment of statutory holidays with general holidays the increase in the supply of convention and exhibition facilities the promotion of the financial development of GBA the relaxation of the threshold for lift installation under the Universal Accessibility Programme and the provision of subsidies to old building owners for lift modernization are some of the examples
昨天亦有議員在發言指出，政府亦在施政報告吸納了他們政黨的意見。
Yesterday some Members pointed out in their speeches that the Government had incorporated the opinions of their political parties in the Policy Address
另外，行政長官亦承諾會恢復每月一次、每次半小時的質詢時間，議員在質詢時提出的問題，會在30日內獲得回應。
Moreover the Chief Executive has undertaken to resume her monthly 30 - minute question time and give follow - up responses to Members questions within 30 days
下一次的行政長官答問會將於2月4日舉行。
The next Chief Executives Question and Answer Session is scheduled to be held on 4 February
另一方面，我每個星期都會與立法會內務委員會正副主席會面，就議員特別關注的事宜作坦誠的交流。
On the other hand I meet with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the Legislative Council House Committee every week to have a frank exchange of views on the special concerns of Members
每次會面後，我一定會與行政長官和各位司局長分享，讓大家知道各位議員和政黨對政府施政和工作的意見、訴求和期望，以便我們作出適當的跟進或改善。
After each meeting I will always share our discussions with the Chief Executive Secretaries of Departments and Directors of Bureaux . I will also inform them of the views demands and expectations of Members and political parties on our governance and efforts so that follow - up actions can be taken or improvements made as appropriate
我很高興在2020-2021立法年度，總值370億元、13項工程已經獲得財委會批准撥款；另外有300億元的撥款已通過工務小組委員會審議。
I am pleased to know that a total commitment of 37 billion sought for 13 projects had been approved by FC in the 2020 - 2021 legislative session . Meanwhile some funding proposals involving another 30 billion were endorsed by the Public Works Subcommittee
在法案方面，有6項條例草案已經獲得通過。
As for bills six were passed
主席，我們會繼續與立法會緊密合作，加強政府的執行力，務求做到"議而有決、決而有行"，共同為香港的發展努力，為社會大眾謀福祉。
President we will continue to work closely with the Legislative Council to enhance the Governments executive ability to decide and proceed after discussions . We will work with concerted efforts for the development of Hong Kong and the well - being of the people
主席，香港與國家命運與共，香港的發展與國家緊密相連。
President Hong Kong and our motherland are closely linked with a shared future
只要香港貫徹落實好"一國兩制"，發揮"一國兩制"的獨特優勢，因應國家新戰略，做好新定位、新部署，把握新機遇，更好融入國家發展大局，香港必定有所作為。
Hong Kong will have a bright future ahead as long as we fully implement one country two systems capitalize on our unique position under one country two systems and tap new opportunities to fuse into the overall national development by exploring the best positioning and drawing up a new roadmap having regard to the nations latest strategies
但是，香港在疫情陰霾的打擊下，目前經濟民生同受重創。
However both Hong Kongs economy and peoples livelihood have suffered a devastating blow under the epidemic
經過了1年的抗疫，我們十分明白市民和企業的日子過得一點也不容易，在家庭生活、就業、上學、社交等方面都受到嚴重影響。
It has been a year since we took measures to fight the epidemic . We clearly understand the difficulties facing individuals and enterprises as family life employment schooling and social life have all been seriously disrupted
我們當務之急當然是做好防疫抗疫工作，這是重振經濟和改善民生的大前提。
Fighting the epidemic is our top priority and the premise on which our work to revive the economy and improve peoples livelihood is based
特區政府會以抗戰思維和心態，全力嚴控疫情，外防輸入，內防反彈，以"早發現、早隔離、早治療"的原則，致力達致施政報告中提及的"全力以赴、力爭'清零'"的目標。
The SAR Government will adopt a wartime mindset and make every effort to strengthen epidemic control by guarding against the importation of cases and the resurgence of domestic infections . Under the principle of early identification early isolation and early treatment we will spare no effort in achieving zero infection as stated in the Policy Address
另外，政府亦會作出全面部署，爭分奪秒，盡早推出疫苗接種計劃，為市民帶來希望和曙光。
In addition the Government will race against time to devise a comprehensive plan for the early introduction of vaccination programmes so as to bring hope to the people
同時，政府亦會盡快落實施政報告中惠民利民和支援企業的措施。
Meanwhile the Government will expeditiously implement the initiatives proposed in the Policy Address for the good of the people and enterprises
待雨過天晴，香港一定可憑藉大家的努力和中央的支持走出困局，重新出發。
The sun will shine again after the storm . With our concerted efforts and the support of the Central Government Hong Kong will certainly find its way out of the predicament and strive ahead with renewed perseverance
我就是要公務員，尤其是負責退休金的公務員，即他們的上司想想怎樣推己及人。
My aim is to make civil servants particularly those who are in charge of the handling of pensions their supervisors to learn to be considerate of others positions
目前，每年撥給公務員退休金的撥款也只是放在庫房。
At present the annual provision set aside for public service pensions is merely kept in the Treasury
"老兄"，我提出的建議可讓數以百萬計的人受惠，每年也只是要撥479億元。
Buddy the proposal I put forth could have benefited millions of people and it would only cost 47.9 billion per annum
各位同事，我現在的論述是"正言若反"。
Honourable colleagues I am now expressing the positive in the negative
代理主席，現時公務員退休金的開支涵蓋12萬人。
Deputy Chairman the expenditure on public service pensions now covers 120 000 employees
我告訴大家，領取10萬元以上長俸的人有29人，每年人均領取1,334,000元。
Let me tell you all . There are 29 persons receiving a pension of over 100,000 which is an average of 1,334,000 per annum
是45,456人，每年人均領取33,000元。
There are 45 456 pensioners who are receiving an average of 33,000 per annum
代理主席，這個制度長久未有改革，十分不合理。
Deputy Chairman a reform of the system which is very unreasonable is long overdue
公務員退休金開支增幅之大，實在嚇人，如果用同一邏輯，根本不應實行該制度。
The increase in the expenditure on public service pensions is really alarming . If the same logic is applied the pension scheme should not be implemented in the first place
我現在向代理主席報告，由2011年至2012年，開支金額為189億3,000萬元，受惠人數是103,374人。
Now I would like to report to the Deputy Chairman that from 2011 to 2012 the expenditure incurred was 18.93 billion and the number of beneficiaries was 103 374
我們明白公務員為服務香港簽訂了"賣身契"，不會外出工作，即使風吹雨打也會貢獻自己的青春、汗水，即使調派至不同部門也會繼續服務香港。
We understand that civil servants have signed an indenture to serve Hong Kong and not to take up outside work . They will contribute their youth and sweat despite the elements and continue to serve Hong Kong even if they are deployed to different departments
他們正是當年交稅，令公務員制度得以執行的人。
They are the citizens who paid tax back then to enable the implementation of the civil service regime
如果政府表示公務員的長俸很重要，必須預留款項履行合約，我得問梁振英，為何他在競選政綱中提到為解決退休問題預留金錢的承諾卻沒有兌現呢？
If the Government says that public service pensions are important and that a provision must be set aside to fulfil its contractual obligation I have to ask LEUNG Chun - ying why his promise of setting aside funding for resolving retirement problems as mentioned in his Manifesto has not been honoured
代理主席，我謹此陳辭，反對整份預算案。
With these remarks Deputy Chairman I oppose the whole Budget
主席，剛才我聽到陳志全議員談及民政事務總署，其實我對總目63提出了6項修訂，不過你"老人家"覺得不相關便刪掉，所以現在變成不能逐項討論，只可在此泛泛而論。
Chairman just now I heard Mr CHAN Chi - chuen mention the Home Affairs Department . Actually I had proposed six amendments to head 63 but they were considered by your goodself to be irrelevant and thus deleted . As a result I can only conduct a general discussion instead of discussing each and every amendment
我現在談的是"總目45―消防處"，是沒有修正案的。
I am going to talk about Head 45―Fire Services Department which has no amendments
我在此首先呼籲葉劉淑儀議員發言，因為她是香港消防處職工總會高級會務顧問。
Before all else I would like to appeal to Mrs Regina IP to speak because she is a senior consultant for the Hong Kong Fire Services Department Staffs General Association
新民黨一向為爭取消防員的工時鞠躬盡瘁，在如此莊嚴的場合，"葉太"應要為消防員發言。
The New Peoples Party has been campaigning for the working hours of firemen with its utmost in a humble manner . On such a solemn occasion Mrs IP ought to speak for the firemen
現在我便為消防員發言。
I am going to speak for the firemen now
主席，近期消防員殉職的英勇行為打動了人心，尤其是在迷你倉大火事件上。
Chairman people have been moved by the bravery of firemen who died recently while on duty especially the one who died during a major fire breaking out in mini storage units
當然消防處本身也有責任去巡查，沒有巡查其實也難辭其咎，導致很多人殉職，大家都覺得很婉惜，我相信在座真的沒有很多人在座本會多位議員也有前去致哀。
It can hardly shirk its responsibility for its failure to carry out inspections has led to the deaths of many firemen in the line of duty . We all find this most regrettable . I believe a number of Members who are present here―though not many Members are present―have gone to their funerals to express condolences
本港消防員的工時是每周51小時。
Firemen in Hong Kong are required to work 51 hours weekly
五十一小時是怎樣的概念？
What does it mean by 51 hours?
再過數日便是五一勞動節，大主席應已獲邀請出席宴會，與梁振英祝酒慶祝五一勞動節。
It will be May Day a few days later . The Chairman should have been invited to attend a banquet to propose toasts with LEUNG Chun - ying in celebration of May Day
警務處每周工作48小時；海關48小時；懲教署48小時；入境事務處44小時；政府飛行服務隊44小時；廉政公署44小時。
The weekly numbers of working hours for the Hong Kong Police Force HKPF the Customs and Excise Department the Correctional Services Department the Immigration Department the Government Flying Service and the Independent Commission Against Corruption are 48 48 48 44 44 and 44 respectively
用莎士比亞的說法，就是"我欠你一磅肉可以還，不過你必不能令我流血，我便還給你"，這是"搵笨"，是沒有意義的。
In the words of SHAKESPEARE I can repay a loan with flesh cut from my body as long as I will not bleed when the pound of flesh is cut out of me . This is a meaningless trick
我們的政府有在水方面下工夫，買了數輛水車來射人，每輛2,700萬元。
Our Government has been making some efforts in water with the procurement of several water tankers for spraying people at a cost of 27 million per vehicle
當然這是"鬼佬"的名字，當時香港由英國人統治，即1997年以前，20多年前，各位高官當時都在報考AO及EO。
Of course Rennie is the name of a gweilo for Hong Kong was under the rule of the British prior to 1997 or more than two decades ago when the incumbent high - ranking officials should be sitting the entry examinations for the Administrative Officer or Executive Officer posts at that time
不好意思，有一位洋人我不知他孰男孰女，不能歧視，但我肯定他是洋人，名叫凌衞理撰寫了一份報告書。
But I am certain that he or she was an expatriate called Rennie―and a report was compiled under his or her name
沿用20多年前未回歸時的標準，當時的社會標準低得可憐，還未訂立標準工時、強制性公積金，政府這樣對待夥計？
The Government has been adhering to this standard adopted more than two decades ago prior to the reunification . The standard in society at that time was miserably low when the standard working hours were not set and the establishment of the Mandatory Provident Fund had yet to come to fruition . How can the Government treat its employees in this manner?
這些夥計與普通市民息息相關，是濟弱扶傾的人。
Civil servants who are inextricably linked with the ordinary public offer assistance to the disadvantaged and the needy
為了對他們表示敬意，我在此把最近殉職的3位消防員的名字讀出來：消防總隊目邱少明、在迷你倉大火中殉職的高級消防隊長張耀升、消防隊目許志傑。
In order to pay my tribute I read out the names of the three fire fighters who died recently in the line of duty YAU Siu - ming Principal Fireman; and Thomas CHEUNG Senior Station Officer and HUI Chi - kit Senior Fireman and both of whom were killed on duty in a major fire that broke out in mini storage units
消防員及救護員的起薪點是多少？
What is the entry point for the post of Fireman and Ambulanceman?
不足2萬元，是19,780元。
The answer is 19,780 or less than 20,000
與他們同屬紀律部隊的海關關員、二級懲教助理、入境事務助理的起薪點和消防員差不多，但警員的起薪點就不同了，有22,410元，即較其他紀律部隊的起薪點足足高3,000元。
Their pay is nearly the same as that of an Customs and Excise officer Assistant Officer II and Immigration Assistant . However the entry point for a Constable is 22,410 which is 3,000 more than the entry point for other disciplined forces
魯迅說得好，如果一個人離世而不留在人的心裏，他就真的死了。
LU Xun once rightly said that a person is really dead if he is no longer in someones heart
幸好，香港人不是這麼壞，"你死了，你在我心中"。
Fortunately Hong Kong is not that bad . You are still in my heart even if you are dead
他字正腔圓地說"我們將會研究把消防升格為緊急紀律部隊"，即與警察看齊。
He said with clear articulation that we will study the feasibility of upgrading FSD as an emergency service meaning that firemen will be brought on a par with police officers
消防員救人如救火，不是緊急紀律部隊是甚麼？
Since fire - fighting is like rescuing people what is FSD if it is not an emergency service?
你試試家中有火警，你就是"火宅之人"，心神不寧。
Imagine your home is on fire you will as I Ching puts it feel uneasy
第二，今年增加了331個消防處的職位，增加了人手。
Secondly FSD has additional manpower this year with the creation of 331 additional posts thanks to the Government having been scolded
現在我在這裏說，民政事務總署的工作非常不理想，此其一也。
Now let me state here that the performance of HAD is rather unsatisfactory . This is the first point
買糖不夠甜，買醋不夠酸，只是聊備一格。
The sugar bought will not be sweet enough and the vinegar bought will not be sour enough . They will be merely ornamental
