大家可能已忘記，為甚麼會有這協議呢？
We may have forgotten why there is such an agreement
其實這協議拯救了當時的粵海，粵海在1998年亞洲金融危機時曾"出事"，需要債務重組，當時債務重組的欠債達60億美元，當年是1998年，60億美元即480億港元，涉及500多間企業，遍布中國等地，債權銀行多達200間，債券的持有者有300間，債權人超過1,000間。
The outstanding sum of the debt restructuring amounted to US6 billion . It was 1998 then and US6 billion was equivalent to HK48 billion . More than 500 enterprises all over China were involved with creditor banks exceeding 200 debenture holders over 300 and creditors more than 1 000
這協議拯救了該公司，因為所有債權銀行和債主看見，原來粵海有特區政府這個"米飯班主"，每年都一定會支付數十億元給它，於是該公司的債務重組得以過渡。
This agreement saved the company since all creditor banks and creditors saw that GD Holdings had SAR Government as its meal ticket . The SAR Government was obliged to pay it several billions of dollars each year so the company survived its debt restructuring
我說出這段歷史，是我最想指出，沒有人送東西給香港，亦沒有人因甚麼情誼而給香港甚麼。
I reveal this history because I want to point out that no one will give Hong Kong anything as gift and no one has ever given Hong Kong anything out of brotherhood
這些說法全部都是假仁假義，只要香港少付1毫子，便會斷水。
What they say is all false benevolence . So long as Hong Kong pays one cent less our water supply will be cut
這些所有事，並非只為香港人，我們一定要爭取"港人港水"。
All these are not done for the people of Hong Kong . We must strive for Hong Kong people Hong Kong water
將來香港如何發展民主，完全是香港自治權範圍內的事，中央政府不會干涉。
How Hong Kong will develop democracy is entirely a matter within the autonomy of Hong Kong and the Central Government will not interfere with it
近年來，香港社會出現多宗激烈的抗爭運動，原因正正在於中央政府多次收緊《基本法》所賦予香港的高度自治權，並加強對香港的控制權。
In recent years there have been a number of intense resistance movements in Hong Kong precisely due to the fact that the Central Government has repeatedly tightened the high degree of autonomy conferred to Hong Kong by the Basic Law and stepped up its control over Hong Kong
2014年6月，國務院發表《"一國兩制"在香港特別行政區的實踐》白皮書，試圖收緊香港的高度自治權，而八三一的決定，便成為出現抗爭運動的導火線。
In June 2014 the State Council published the White Paper on The Practice of the One Country Two Systems Policy in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in an attempt to tighten Hong Kongs high degree of autonomy . And NPCSCs decision on 31 August 2014 became the underlying cause of those resistance movements
由於部分香港人對於中央政府落實"港人治港"、"高度自治"已經完全失去信心，不再相信在現有制度下，香港終有一天能夠實行雙普選，所以社會上衍生出"港獨"思想。
As some people in Hong Kong have completely lost confidence in the Central Government regarding the implementation of Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy who no longer believe that dual universal suffrage will eventually be implemented in Hong Kong under the existing system there saw the emergence of views in the community calling for independence of Hong Kong
無論大家同意與否，我們的確須要反思。
Well whether we agree or not we really need to reflect on such a phenomenon
重啟政改，把選擇權還給香港人，便是修補撕裂，令整個社會在融洽的氣氛下重新上路的契機。
And so the reactivation of constitutional reform to return to Hong Kong people the right to make our own choices is an opportunity meant for healing social rifts with which the whole society is able to turn over a new leaf in a harmonious atmosphere
其實郭家麒議員提出"促請下任行政長官重啟政改"的議案，是一個十分卑微的請求，只是要求下屆政府重啟政改。
In fact the motion moved by Dr KWOK Ka - kis on Urging the next Chief Executive to reactivate constitutional reform is a very humble request in fact who is only asking the next - term Government to reactivate constitutional reform
"重啟政改"的意思，當然是讓全香港市民有份參與制訂將來的政改路線和時間表。
Reactivate constitutional reform means of course that each and every citizen in Hong Kong will be engaged in formulating the road map as well as timetables for future constitutional reform
大家也知道八三一的決定，正是引發整個"雨傘運動"的導火線。
We all know that the decision made by NPCSC on 31 August 2014 is the underlying cause of the Umbrella Movement
這兩年多以來，各種撕裂、鬥爭和不愉快事件也源於人大常委會八三一決定的"僭建"。
During these two years or so after the movement there emerged various kinds of divisions struggles and unpleasant incidents all of which originated from NPCSCs Decision of 31 August 2014 based on its excessive interpretation of the Basic Law
重啟政改不但可以凝聚社會各方面的力量，理性地討論我們的民主出路，也可以聚焦我們的社會政策。
Therefore not only will the reactivation of constitutional reform serve to unite all groups of people to take part in rational discussions on finding our way out in pursuit of democratic development but will also help us stay focused on social policies
其實，民主和社會政策不可分割，如果有一個民主問責的政府，我們的各種政策，包括民生政策和經濟政策等，自然水到渠成。
In fact democracy and social policies are inseparable . If our Government is a democratic and accountable one then all our policies including livelihood and economic policies will be effected naturally
市民和立法會議員對於一個由民選產生的政府或議會，當然會有多一點信任。
Besides both the public and Members of the Legislative Council will certainly have a little more trust in a government or legislature elected by the people
我上星期一整個星期也身處英國，很不幸，上星期一英國曼徹斯特一個演唱會發生恐怖襲擊，有22人因伊斯蘭自殺式炸彈而喪生。
Last week I was in the United Kingdom the whole week . Unfortunately however there was a terror attack on a concert in Manchester last Monday in which 22 people were killed by an Islamic suicide bomb
儘管如此，英國仍要在6月8日舉行全國大選，重新投票選出下議院全部的650席。
Regardless of the incident the United Kingdom will still go ahead with the General Election to be held on 8 June in which all 650 seats of the House of Commons will be re - elected
其實，一個真正有民主選舉的社會，一個讓人民有選擇的社會，可以增加人民對國民身份的認同。
Actually people in a society with genuine democratic elections that is a society that allows people choices will certainly recognize more of their national identity
上星期，整個英國社會，不分種族階級均對這宗恐襲嚴加痛斥，舉國哀悼，各黨的競選活動也告暫停。
Last week members of the entire British community regardless of race and social class did harshly condemn the terror attack . A period of national mourning was declared and all election campaigns would be suspended during the mourning period
然而，英國國民非常重視這個真正有選擇的選舉，所以前立法會主席曾鈺成說得對第一，如果給予香港市民真正的普選，"港獨"自然沒有市場；第二，給予香港市民一個真正有選擇的普選，國民身份的認同便自然會逐漸形成。
Despite all these the British nationals do attach a great deal of importance to such an election that offers them genuine choices . And so the former Legislative Council Chairman Mr Jasper TSANG was right in this regard First no one will ever resort to advocating independence of Hong Kong if Hong Kong people are given genuine universal suffrage; second peoples recognition of their national identity will come naturally when there are elections that offer genuine choices to voters
這是我的夢想，也希望下屆政府能夠真正開始做實事，聆聽各界的聲音，提出一個方案，供香港市民討論，並在提出這個方案之後，能夠繼續跟中央政府就方案進行磋商。
This is my dream and I hope that the next - term Government will really be able to do practical work pay heed to the voices of people from all walks of life and put forward a proposed reform package for discussion by the public . Moreover it is expected to continue discussions with the Central Government after putting forth the proposal
我希望下屆政府在5年任期完結後，香港市民能有一個提供真正選擇的普選方案。
And I hope that by the end of the five - year term of the next - term Government Hong Kong people will have a package of proposals for universal suffrage that offers genuine choices for voters
主席，我謹此陳辭，支持郭家麒議員的議案。
With these remarks Deputy President I support Dr KWOK Ka - kis motion
代理主席，首先多謝毛孟靜議員提出這項議案，我亦贊成毛孟靜議員所提議案的大部分內容。
Deputy President first of all I would like to thank Ms Claudia MO for moving this motion and I also agree with most part of her motion
我只在"港人港水"方面作出了少許更改，其實我要重申，就是我在可持續發展內有一個很重要的概念或理論，就是這個地球的所有天然資源，包括水、陽光和空氣，都是不單是人類所擁有，而是整個地球的生物共同擁有。
I have only made minor amendments to the part on Hong Kong people using Hong Kong water . In fact I wish to reiterate that there is a very important concept or principle behind sustainable development that is all natural resources on earth including water sunlight and air are not owned by mankind alone . They are shared among all living creatures on earth
所以，我覺 得"港人港水"可能未必能說得通，但我其實贊成毛孟靜議員所提議案的大部分內容。
Therefore I think it may not be proper to say Hong Kong people using Hong Kong water although I truly agree with most part of the motion moved by Ms Claudia MO
我亦藉着稍稍更改毛孟靜議員所提議案的內容，希望把整個討論焦點由水源，伸展至水資源管理。
By making minor amendments to Ms Claudia MOs motion I wish to broaden the scope of discussion from water resources to water resources management
聯合國水資源組織在於2013年發表的研究報告提出水資源安全的定義，就是讓人民持續獲得可接受的水質，充足的水量以維持永續環境、人類生存及社會經濟發展，並確保防止因水傳播污染及相關災害，以及保護生態系統處於和平與政治穩定的環境中。
In the research report Water Security and the Global Water Agenda published by UN - Water in 2013 water security is defined as the capacity of a population to safeguard sustainable access to adequate quantities of acceptable quality water for sustaining livelihoods human well - being and socio - economic development for ensuring protection against water - borne pollution and water - related disasters and for preserving ecosystems in a climate of peace and political stability
所以香港作為發達的經濟體系及已發展地區，建立可持續和自主的水源是不可迴避的責任。
Therefore Hong Kong as a developed area with developed economy is inevitably responsible for developing sustainable water resources and establishing autonomy in this regard
代理主席，很多同事都提過，現時香港食水的來源有70%至80%來自東江水，其餘20%至30%供應來自本地雨水。
Deputy President as mentioned by many Honourable colleagues 70 % to 80 % of drinking water in Hong Kong is sourced from Dongjiang currently while the remaining 20 % to 30 % of water supply comes from rainwater in Hong Kong
當然，我們預期在2020年會有海水化淡廠落成。
Certainly we expect that a desalination plant will be built in 2020
在啟用初期，海水化淡廠每天可生產135,000立方米食水，約佔全港5%用水量。
During the initial stage of its operation the plant can produce 135 000 cu m of drinking water per day accounting for about 5 % of daily water consumption in Hong Kong
如果未來有需要，可把海水化淡廠的生產量提升至27萬立方米。
If required the production capacity of the desalination plant can be raised to 270 000 cu m in future
當廠房規模完成進一步擴建時，每年產量可達9,855萬立方米，約佔供水量10%。
Upon further extension the plant may have an annual capacity of up to 98 550 000 cu m which account for 10 % of water supply in Hong Kong
當然，毛孟靜議員剛才提到，海水化淡廠生產每立方米淡水的成本估計是12元，這究竟是否昂貴呢？
Indeed as recently mentioned by Ms Claudia MO the estimated desalination cost of the plant is 12 per cubic metre . Is it expensive?
根據香港政府與廣東省簽訂去年至2017年的新供水合約實施後，每立方米東江水的平均成本其實最少也達9.3元。
According to the newly signed Water Supply Agreement for 2016 - 2017 between the Hong Kong Government and Guangdong Province the average cost for purchasing Dongjiang water is actually at least 9.3 per cubic metre
很多市民說，現時東江水協議下，以"統包總額"方式計算水價，是否最有利香港市民？
Many people suspect whether it is most favourable for Hong Kong people if water prices are calculated on the basis of the package deal lump sum approach under the current agreement for purchasing Dongjiang water
現時的爭論是，究竟"統包總額"較好，抑或"按量付款"較好？
The current debate is on the question of whether the package deal lump sum approach or the quantity - based charging approach is better
當然，我們未知道究竟如何"按量付款"，當中的成本是怎樣計算？
It is true that we do not know how water prices are charged based on quantities and how the costs are calculated
代理主席，其實除了開拓水源外，另一項水資源政策的面向是節約用水，政府去年有否推行這政策呢？
Deputy President besides exploring more water resources the other objective of the policy on water resources management is to save water . Did the Government implement this policy last year?
其實在新加坡的幼稚園裏，大家稱為國民教育或公民教育也好，其中一個很重要的環節是教小朋友節約用水。
Indeed in the kindergartens in Singapore one important element―one may call it national education or civic education―is to teach children to save water
事實上，水務署也有教導我們一些方法，我最近收到一個沙漏，是4分鐘的沙漏，4分鐘是甚麼概念呢？
The Water Supplies Department has in fact given us some advice in this respect . I have received an hourglass recently . It is a four - minute hourglass timer
當然，再造水並非一蹴而就的技術，並且有成本，然而，如果我們不推行，便永遠無法達到這技術的目標。
Certainly the reclaimed water technology cannot be developed overnight and the development of such involves capital investment . Nonetheless if we do not start we will never achieve it
主席，首先感謝郭家麒議員提出今天這項議案。
President first I would like to thank Dr KWOK Ka - ki for proposing todays motion
第五屆行政長官已經在3月26日產生，而最厲害亦很特別的地方是，她以777票成功當選，當然她因而有新的別名。
The fifth Chief Executive was elected on 26 March . It is most amazing and bizarre that she won the election with 777 votes . Thanks to this voting result she has got a new nickname
但是，根據民間的全民投票，這位候任特首的得票率或支持率只有1.5%，反對率卻高達 96.1%。
However according to the results of the civil referendum in society the vote share or approval rate of this Chief Executive - elect is only 1.5 % while the disapproval rate is as high as 96.1 %
可見現時的選舉制度似乎無法完全反映民意，政制亟需要改革。
It appears that the existing election system is incapable of fully reflecting public opinions . There is an urgent need to reform the political system
不過，香港人仍記得，上次負責推動政改方案的官員也是候任特首，她加上另外在席的譚局長和律政司司長，大家組成政改三人組，金句有："有商有量，實現普選"和"有票，真是不要？
Nevertheless Hong Kong people can still recall that it was also the Chief Executive - elect who was responsible for the promotion of the latest constitutional reform proposals . She together with Secretary Raymond TAM present today and the Secretary for Justice formed the constitutional reform trio . The mottos include Lets talk and achieve universal suffrage and Your Vote
但是，事實是一錘定音，有票嗎？
Dont cast it away . But the truth is that the final decision had already been made . Will all of us have the votes?
其實只是提名委員會有票而已，經篩選後，市民才能選擇，難怪2015年政改方案最終落敗，主席應該非常記得，方案是8票贊成，28票反對下，被大比數否決，落得如此下場。
The general public can only choose among NC - screened candidates . No wonder the 2015 constitutional reform package was vetoed . President should definitely remember that the reform package came to such a disgraceful end being negatived by a majority vote with 8 in favour of and 28 against it
翻看候任特首的政綱，其實她亦有提及政改，在第2.10段中提出："我絕對明白市民，尤其是青年人，對普選的訴求，也明白'一人一票'選舉對行政長官及特區政府認受性和立法會公信力的重要。
The Chief Executive - elect has indeed mentioned constitutional reform in her Manifesto . In paragraph 2.10 of the Manifesto it was said that I absolutely understand Hong Kong peoples particularly our young peoples desire for universal suffrage . I also appreciate the importance of One Person One Vote in an election to garner greater recognition of the Chief Executive and his Administration as well as the credibility of the Legislative Council
"然後在第2.11段說"若我當選，將會在任內盡最大努力，在'八三一'框架下營造有利推動政改的社會氛圍。
It was further said in paragraph 2.11 that If elected I will do my best to work towards creating a favourable atmosphere to take forward political reform within the framework of the 831 Decision
那麼為了體現機構提名，特首候選人須要取得超過一半提委會的支持才能"出閘"，較現時八分之一的門檻高很多。
To make full display of institutional nomination each candidate must have the endorsement of more than half of all the members of NC in order to enter the race . This threshold is way higher than the current arrangement which requires nominations by one eighth of the membership
有某建制議員更表示這樣是優質民主，我的發音很標準，我沒有讀成"陰質民主"，這明顯是欺騙香港人。
Some pro - establishment Members even regard this as quality democracy . My pronunciation is very correct . I do not read it as tacky democracy
如果2015年通過政改方案，市民的確可以投票，但卻要經提委會"篩乾篩淨"後才能選擇，市民是否真的能夠接受這方案呢？
This is obviously a cheat . It is true that Hong Kong people would have had the right to vote if the 2015 constitutional reform package were passed but then they could only choose among the completely screened candidates . Do members of the public really accept his kind of proposal?
這種"一人一票"方案根本不能改革香港的選舉制度，反而很明顯是一種倒退。
This one person one vote proposal simply cannot reform Hong Kongs election system . Rather it is a regression indisputably
如果有"一人一票"便是普選，這樣其實全世界均是民主國家，因為伊朗和北韓也有"一人一票"，他們的投票率更遠高於香港，北韓的投票率是百分之一百，但沒有人會視他們為民主國家。
If one person one vote amounts to universal suffrage all countries over the world are actually democracies . It is because Iran and North Korea also run one person one vote elections and their turnout rates are way higher than that in Hong Kong . For example the voter turnover rate in North Korea is 100 %
最大的問題是，香港貴為國際大都會、世界金融中心，人均收入與其他發達國 家......
Despite these no one will regard the pair as democratic countries . Hong Kong is a world - class metropolis and an international financial centre with per capita income comparable to that of other developed countries President what I mean is the advanced democratic countries
翻看《經濟學人》去年發表的民主指數報告，比較全世界的政治制度，香港的排名為68位。
It is most ridiculous . With reference to last years annual Democracy Index published by the Economist which compares the state of democracy worldwide Hong Kong ranks 68 in the Index
但其實大部分先進國家的排名均較香港為高，很多亞洲國家，例如日本、馬來西亞和菲律賓的排名均高於香港，除了新加坡排名第七十位，較香港低兩位。
Actually the rankings of most advanced countries are higher than that of Hong Kong . In Asia quite a number of countries such as Japan Malaysia and the Philippines enjoy higher rankings than Hong Kongs . One exception is Singapore which ranks 70 two places below Hong Kong
中國的排名真的很超卓，排名為136位，排名136位的國家竟然教導排名68位的城市何謂民主、何謂普選，這樣大家是否能接受呢？
China has a really remarkable ranking which is at the 136 place . It is hard to believe that a country with a ranking of 136 in the Democratic Index can teach a city ranked 68 what are democracy and universal suffrage . Do all of you find that acceptable?
伊朗排名154位，想知道哪個地方排名最低？
Irans ranking is 154 in the Index . Do you want to know which country has the lowest ranking?
當然是北韓，排名167位，而中國排名136，兩者只相差30位而已，不要緊。
It is undoubtedly North Korea which ranks 167 . China which democracy ranking is 136 is just 30 places higher than that of North Korea . But it does not matter
憲法監督委員會由12人組成，是唯一可以解釋伊斯蘭教義和法律的機構，亦有權"DQ"，即取消某些有意改革的候選人的資格。
The 12 - member Council is rested with the exclusive power to interpret Islamic values and laws . It can also DQ or disqualify reform - minded candidates
這樣伊朗人是否有選擇呢？
So does Iranian have choices in its election?
與香港比較，在八三一框架下，提委會有1,200人，但這樣負責篩選候選人，經運算後，我們是否較伊朗民主100倍呢？
In comparison Hong Kongs NC which is also responsible for the screening of candidate is 1 200 strong . After calculation is our election system not 100 times more democratic than Irans?
北韓選舉又如何？
How does North Korea run its election?
這國家排名167，是世界上最不民主的國家，但也有"一人一票"。
With the democracy ranking of 167 North Korea is the most undemocratic country in the world
北韓的憲法規定17歲以上的公民已經可以投票和參選，北韓人同樣可以投贊成票和反對票，不過每個選區只有一名候選人，因為北韓勞動黨已經代表北韓的利益，故只需要一位候選人。
Still there is a one person one vote element in its election as all North Korean at the age of 17 or above can cast their votes and stand for election under the countrys constitution . North Korean can choose to cast their supporting or opposing votes but there is only one candidate in each constituency . There is no need to have more than one candidate in each constituency because the Workers Party of Korea can fully represent the interest of North Korea
相比下，根據八三一框架，香港人可以有兩至四名候選人，真的較北韓民主甚多，主席。
Under the framework of the 31 August Decision Hong Kong can have two to four candidates for the Chief Executive election . President in comparison Hong Kong is way more democratic than North Korea
主席，候任特首所指的八三一框架下的"一人一票"，與真正普選絕對是兩回事。
President the Chief Executive - elects version of one person one vote under the framework of the 31 August Decision and a genuine universal suffrage are entirely two separate issues
香港應該走向世界民主體制的一方，而非倒退至伊朗或北韓式的選舉。
Hong Kong should side with the world democracies instead of regressive to the Iranian or North Korean way of election
我支持原議案和黃碧雲議員的修正案，反對梁志祥議員的修正案。
I support the original motion and the amendment moved by Dr Helena WONG and I oppose Mr LEUNG Che - cheungs amendment
代理主席，選舉事務處遺失全港選民的資料，不單是個別選民私隱受到危害的問題，同時亦損害香港整個選舉制度。
Deputy President that the loss of the personal data of all registered electors in Hong Kong by the Registration and Electoral Office is not purely about endangering individual electors privacy being prejudiced
我在上星期的發言亦有提及，當中的重要性不單在於這次事件所帶來的影 響，更涉及政府與社會整體市民之間的信任，尤其因為香港依賴選民登記制度確認香港人身份。
In fact the entire electoral system of Hong Kong have also been undermined as a result . As I have also mentioned in my speech delivered last week the significance of the incident lies not only in its impacts but also in the mutual trust between the Government and every person in society as a whole especially when Hong Kong does rely on the voter registration system for voter identity authentication
政府如此對待選民的資料，是不尊重香港人的選民身份，亦有損政府與市民之間的信任。
The Government simply showed its disrespect for Hong Kong peoples voter identity by handling the personal data of registered electors in such a reckless manner . This will definitely undermine the mutual trust between the Government and its citizens
我認為事態嚴重，必須以更清晰、透明、公平、公正的方式作出調查，尤其要調查當中是否有官員失職。
Given the seriousness of this matter I think it is necessary to inquire into the matter with a higher degree of clarity transparency fairness and impartiality particularly with focus on whether there is any misconduct on the part of government officials
因此，我希望能有多位議員支持我援引《立法會條例》成立專責委員會，以調查選舉事務處遺失全港選民資料一事。
Hence I do hope that there will be numerous Members who support my proposal of invoking the Legislative Council Ordinance to appoint a select committee to inquire into the incident of the loss of the personal data of all registered electors in Hong Kong by the Registration and Electoral Office
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：鄭松泰議員動議的議案，予以通過。
I now put the question to you and that is That the motion moved by Dr CHENG Chung - tai be passed
主席，我們今天討論的議案題為"推動'港人港水'，守護本地資源"。
President the motion we are discussing today is Promoting Hong Kong people using Hong Kong water and protecting local resources
因此，我請大家不要把焦點放在如何用較經濟的方式買水，例如應採用月費計劃還是按量收費計劃。
Therefore I urge you not to focus on how to bargain for a good deal when we purchase our water or whether a monthly subscription approach or a quantity - based charging approach is better
在飲用水方面，我們並非消費者，香港政府不應以消費者的心態看待香港人的基本需要。
In the case of securing our drinking water we are not consumers . The Hong Kong Government should not adopt the mentality of a consumer when it takes care of the basic needs of the people of Hong Kong
為何建制派議員將1997年前殖民地政府向宗主國買水的行為合理化呢？
How can those Members of the pro - establishment camp think it is reasonable to purchase water from our sovereign state just like what the colonial government did before 1997?
在政治正確上，這是完全不合理的。
If you are to be politically correct you should consider it as totally unreasonable
大家不關心第一個問題，不關心政府在提供食水方面的角色為何，反而退而求其 次只關注政府在運送食水的過程中有否履行應有的監管角色。
Now our discussion is not about the most important question that is what role the Government should take in maintaining water supply but step backward to discuss about whether the Government has performed its role of monitoring the process of transferring water properly . You are letting the Government get away with it
首先，大家一定要回顧當天的表決結果。
First of all we have to look back at the voting result on that day
大家應該還記得，在2015年6月18日就行政長官產生辦法的決議案進行表決時，表決結果已清楚記入歷史裏，當時只得8票支持。
As all of us may recall when the motion concerning the method for the selection of the Chief Executive was put to vote on 18 June 2015 the voting result has already been recorded clearly in history and there were only eight Members voting for the motion then
在300多萬選民中，只有1萬或 數千人支持這個方案，所以歷史已清楚告訴我們，當時在八三一框架下提出的行政長官產生辦法的決議案，是不獲市民支持的。
In other words among 3 million - odd electors in Hong Kong only 10 000 or a few thousands of them supported the method proposed . Hence history has already revealed to us clearly that Hong Kong people did not support the motion concerning the method proposed under the 31 August framework back then for the selection of the Chief Executive
既然這是當時鐵一般的事實，歷史的明證已告訴我們，以這個框架行事將得不到民意支持，必然需要修訂，重新諮詢，重啟政改。
As it was an iron - clad truth then this proven fact in history has already shown to us that it would not be possible for us to gain public support by acting according to this framework and it would be necessary for us to make amendments conduct consultation afresh and reactivate constitutional reform
這亦正是香港透過立法會審議有關法案的一個行之有效的做法。
This established approach for the Legislative Council of Hong Kong to deliberate on legislative proposals has already been proven effective
作為老師的我，也很體恤學生有時真的會一時無知，錯過考試時間。
As a teacher I am prepared to adopt a more understanding attitude because out of ignorance students do miss the chance to take their examination sometimes
所以，郭議員今次提出重啟政改方案的建議，正是給大家一次補考機會。
Therefore the proposal put forward by Dr KWOK today to reactivate constitutional reform is a chance for us to take a make - up examination
這是否承認他們在2015年時根本是故意不想投票，所以最好不要再來一次。
In doing so they have admitted that they actually did not want to participate in voting on the motion back in 2015 and it is therefore best not to do the same thing all over again
等於上述考生原來就是想逃避考試，即使你現在給他一次機會補考，他也極力拒絕，反對進行補考。
Just like the group of students mentioned above as their real aim is to avoid taking the examination although a chance is now given for them to take a make - up examination they will only try in every way to reject the idea and object to the proposal
