我們現在提到手語的問題，我們亦曾向學校了解過，原來政府在推行融合教育時，往往沒有對主流學校內的聽障學生提供足夠資助。
As to the problem of sign language that we are talking about now I have also assessed the situation of schools and found that more often than not no adequate subsidies were provided to students with hearing impairment in mainstream schools when the Government was promoting integration education
很多老師眼看着這些聽障學生學習有困難，但礙於力有所限，不能全力協助他們。
Many teachers could see that these students with hearing impairment were having difficulties in learning but due to capacity constraints they were unable to offer full assistance to them
此外，手語當然也是一個大問題，一般老師如何利用手語來幫助學生呢？
Moreover sign language is also a big problem . How can an average teacher use sign language to help students?
如何能培養同學間以手語溝通呢？
How can students cultivate the habit of using sign language as a means of communication?
在目前的條件下，如果政府不提供所需的協助，學校根本是不能做到的。
In the current circumstances schools are simply unable to achieve that without the necessary help provided by the Government
試想想，如果主流學校都有手語的支援，便可以幫助聽障生在讀唇外，補足錯過了的信息或學習內容，令學習更為有效。
Just think about that if sign language support is given to mainstream schools it will not only help students with hearing impairment in lip - reading it will also make up for the message or learning contents they have missed thereby making the learning more effective
有部分主流學校憑自己的努力，排除困難。
Some mainstream schools were able to overcome difficulties through their own efforts
譬如多位議員剛才也提過，在賽馬會資助及香港中文大學協助下，他們採取手語雙語共融教育計劃，這是一項相當成功的計劃。
For instance just now a number of Members mentioned that with the help of the Hong Kong Jockey Club HKJC and The Chinese University of Hong Kong CUHK these schools joined the Sign Bilingualism and Co - enrolment in Deaf Education Programme . It was a very successful programme
學校在班級中混合聽障或健聽學生，而老師在接受培訓後，可在課堂中改變教學策略，例如增加視覺元素來協助教學。
Schools may combine students with hearing impairment and students with normal hearing in the same class . Teachers after receiving the training may change the teaching approach such as increasing visual elements as teaching and learning aids
此外，增加手語培訓等措施，亦能令全班同學，不單是聽障學生，也同時得益，即使健聽的小朋友也得益。
Moreover measures such as the increase of sign language training will not only benefit students with hearing impairment but also the entire class . Even students with normal hearing will also be benefited
因此，要在中小學校推廣手語，做到真正融合，我們認為一方面要有資源；另一方面要為老師創造空間，提供適當的培訓和支援。
For that reason if we wish to promote sign language and achieve real integration education in primary and secondary schools we consider that we should have the necessary resources in place on the one hand and we should create space for teachers on the other by way of providing them with suitable trainings and support
在這方面，我們現時的融合教育政策是非常弱的。
In this regard we consider the existing policy of integration education is rather meagre
某些學校較為成功，是因為有賽馬會的額外資助及中大的協助才能做到。
Some schools could achieve some successes only because they have obtained the extra subsidies from HKJC and the help from CUHK
但是，這項如此好的計劃卻因為缺乏政府的支援而結束了，無法再全面推展。
However the programme has ended and it could not be fully implemented because it lacked the necessary government support
現時只有少數學校以自己的方法繼續奮鬥。
At present only a small number of schools are trying to hold on by adopting their own approaches
我曾到過這些學校，看到學生能互相協助，聽障學生可在手語協助下獲得更充分的學習。
I have visited some schools . I could see that their students could help each other out and students with hearing impairment could learn effectively with the help of sign language
這對學生和老師而言，都是莫大的回報。
This is an enormous reward to students as well as teachers
但是，政府卻沒有重視和珍惜這些如此寶貴的經驗。
Nevertheless the Government did not regard highly or cherish these invaluable experiences
我可以說，融合教育只是口裏融合，但身體卻在說不。
I dare to say that integration education is merely a lip service; it is a big no - no in essence
因此，我們現在所爭取的，就是可否在幼稚園、小學、中學、大專都能推廣手語，從而令不同機構也可以廣泛運用手語，幫助聽障學生以至成年人呢？
Therefore what we are fighting for now is that if sign language could be promoted in kindergartens primary and secondary schools colleges and universities could students with hearing impairment or even adults be benefited from that as different institutions are using sign language on a wider scale?
主席，首先，我要對羅冠聰議員剛才的言論表示遺憾。
President first of all I must express my regret at Mr Nathan LAWs remark just now
他在10分鐘的發言中，無限上綱上線抹黑特區政府，亦抹黑民建聯及本會不少議員。
In his 10 - minute speech he kept defaming the SAR Government in the most exaggerating manner as well as defaming the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB and many Members in this Council
對於他們過去凡事"拉布"，凡是中央提出的事宜，或涉及中港融合的項目均反對，或凡是特首推動的項目就"拉布"，基本上他們不會提及這些。
Basically they will not touch upon their indiscriminate filibusters on almost everything or their objections against mostly every issue proposed by the Central Authorities or project involving Mainland - Hong Kong integration or their comprehensive filibusters against projects implemented by the Chief Executive
現時，甚至出現了越來越激烈的情況，部分議員或社會人士公然挑動"一國兩制"底線。
Now the situation becomes more extreme in which some legislators or members of the public have blatantly challenged the bottom line of one country two systems
我最近從新聞報道留意到，羅冠聰議員曾參加鼓吹台獨團體的活動，這是極度挑動中央底線的行為，對香港毫無好處。
I have recently learnt from media reports that Mr Nathan LAW attended activities organized by an organization which has advocated Taiwan independence . Such an extreme behaviour to test the Central Authorities bottom line is of no benefit to Hong Kong at all
長此下去，只會繼續令中央與香港關係越來越緊張。
If this goes on the relationship between the Central Authorities and Hong Kong will only go wrong
我呼籲大家真的別再這樣做，這樣只會累死香港而已。
I urge everyone really not to do this anymore as this will only bring us to a dead end
主席，言歸正傳。
President back to our topic today
今天的正題是討論"對下任行政長官的期望"，我很感謝郭偉强議員此時提出這項議題。
The subject of our discussion is Expectations for the next Chief Executive . I appreciate Mr KWOK Wai - keung for raising this subject at this particular moment
今天，我會從5方面提出民建聯對新一任行政長官的期望，即"維護一國兩制"、"推動社會大和解"、"建設優質民主"、"提升香港競爭力"，以及"與市民共享經濟成果"，對新一任行政長官提出要求。
Today I will introduce DABs expectations for the next Chief Executive in five aspects namely safeguard one country two systems promote reconciliation in society establish quality democracy enhance Hong Kongs competitiveness and share the fruit of economic development with the people . We will put forward our demands accordingly
主席，"一國兩制"是香港的根本，是延續香港傳奇的基石。
President one country two systems is Hong Kongs foundation the cornerstone to extend the legend of Hong Kong
民建聯相信，無論過去、現在和將來，"一國兩制"對國家和香港也是最好。
DAB believes that one country two systems is best for both the country and Hong Kong in the past at present and in future
因此，我們對新一任特首的期望是：第一，他必須致力維護"一國兩制"。
So we expect the next Chief Executive to firstly strive to safeguard one country two systems
近年，"港獨"思潮抬頭，很多時以自決來包裝，並演變為赤裸裸的暴力破壞行動。
The idea of Hong Kong independence has gathered pace in recent years mostly packaged as self - determination and has evolved into some naked act of violence
在"一國兩制"下絕對沒有"港獨"的空間。
There is absolutely no room for Hong Kong independence under one country two systems
所以，新一任行政長官必須繼續堅守"一國兩制"的底線，要把"港獨"消滅於萌芽階段。
So the next Chief Executive must go on defending the bottom line of one country two systems and demolish Hong Kong independence in the nascent stage
"一國兩制"當然有底線，但同時亦有很大的包容性，以包容"兩制"下香港的獨特性，亦包容香港社會的多元性。
There is of course a bottom line for one country two systems but there is also tolerance for Hong Kongs uniqueness under two systems and social diversity
主席，近年本港政治爭拗揮之不去，由街頭到議會的衝突以至抗爭持續不斷。
President Hong Kong is embedded in political wrangling in this few years . From the street to the Council we are occupied by incessant conflicts and confrontations
另一方面，隨着兩地人民交往越來越頻繁，造成了一些社會問題，觸發兩地矛盾，亦衍生了國民身份認同的問題。
On the other hand increasing interactions between people of the Mainland and Hong Kong have resulted in social problems which have aroused further contradictions leading to issues relating to recognition of national identity
裏裏外外的爭議都令社會越來越撕裂，不同陣營之間，確實出現各走極端的現象。
All these conflicts have torn society wider apart . Indeed polarization does appear among different camps
對於這種撕裂的情況，不少市民已感到厭倦和擔心。
Many people are tired of these divisions with grave concern
香港研究協會早前的民意調查顯示，過去一年港人生活滿意度創下12年新低。
A survey conducted by the Hong Kong Research Association earlier indicated that Hong Kong peoples life satisfaction over last year reached a new low in 12 years
此外，去年10月，香港中文大學香港亞太研究所的民調更顯示政治爭拗是激發香港人離開香港的原因之一。
Moreover a survey conducted by the Hong Kong Institute of Asia - Pacific Studies of The Chinese University of Hong Kong last October showed that political wrangling was one of the factors for Hong Kong peoples decision to emigrate
因此，我們期望，新一任特首必須堅守"一國"底線，亦能同時發揮"兩制"的包容性，展現政治魅力和胸襟，運用政治智慧和手腕，推動社會大和解，增強中央與特區的互信。
Therefore we hope the next Chief Executive can insist on upholding the bottom line of one country while elaborating the tolerance under two systems demonstrating charisma and broad - mindedness in politics utilizing political wisdom and skills to promote reconciliation in society and strengthen the mutual - trust between the Central Authorities and the SAR
如何推動社會大和解？
How to promote reconciliation in society?
首先，中央政府已處理了泛民回鄉證的問題。
First the Central Government has already solved the problem regarding Home Visit Permits of those belonging to the pan - democratic camp
我認為新一任行政長官也要繼續接力，促成一些堅持"一國兩制"底線的泛民主派朋友與內地官員加強交流，增強互信，為日後建立恆常的溝通機制"打頭陣"。
I believe the next Chief Executive should carry this on and enhance communication between those in the pan - democratic camp who maintain the bottom line of one country two systems and officials in the Mainland so as to enhance mutual - trust and pave the way for establishing a permanent communication mechanism in the future
第二，新一任行政長官應積極改善現時行政立法的緊張關係，並視議會為施政的合作夥伴。
Second the next Chief Executive should proactively improve the strained relationship between the executive and the legislature at present and regard the legislature as a partner in policy implementation
在制訂重大政策的過程中，盡早與不同政黨交流，吸納我們的意見。
In the course of formulating major policies the next Chief Executive should exchange views with different political parties as early as possible and incorporate our advice
第三，新一任特首及其團隊必須檢視現時與市民溝通的形式，亦要檢視如何善用我們眾多的諮詢架構，吸納不同聲音，採用一些現代的方式，包括青年人使用的詞語或形式，與他們溝通。
Third the next Chief Executive and his team must review existing means of communication with the people and to explore how to make good use of many existing consultation frameworks to heed different voices as well as to adopt up - to - date means to connect with young people including adapting to the words or means of communication popular among them
否則，政府的政策無法落到他們身上，而他們的聲音亦會較難上達行政機關。
Otherwise the Governments policy will not be able to reach them and their voices will unlikely be heard in the hierarchy
主席，促成社會大和解是民建聯對特首的一個重大期望，我相信亦是很多市民的期望。
President achieving reconciliation in society is DABs major expectations for the next Chief Executive . I believe the people wish the same too
當社會不再那麼對立，不只是抹黑和斷章取義，當政治氣氛相對緩和的時候，新任特首便可把握機會，推動政制向前走，重啟政改，帶領香港落實雙普選，實現優質民主。
When society is less confronted and political atmosphere becomes relatively relax in which we are no longer preoccupied by defamation and wilful misinterpretation the next Chief Executive can then seize the chance to take the political system forward and reactivate constitutional reform so as to lead Hong Kong to implement dual universal suffrage thereby achieving quality democracy
這是民建聯對新任特首的第三個期望。
This is DABs third expectation for the next Chief Executive
我們知道雙普選是香港民主發展的重要事情，但並非全部。
We all know that dual universal suffrage is essential to Hong Kongs democratic development . But it is not everything
