撇開美國憲法賦予公民持槍權力不談，韋伯所描述的狀況，幾乎可以應用於所有主權國家或政府。
Apart from the United States where the Constitution empowers its citizens to carry guns Max WEBERs description is applicable to almost all sovereign states or governments
國家或政府的確壟斷了武力或暴力，而政權是否有合理的統治基礎、是否以正當的方式使用其壟斷的武力，便成為當中的關鍵，亦為爭議所在。
It is beyond doubt that states or governments monopolize physical force or violence . Hence the legitimate basis of ruling powers and the appropriateness of their use of the monopolized force are the key considerations and the sources of controversy as well
在有關爭議中，我們很籠統地談論專制政權和民主制度，當然這涉及背後的憲政或相關的制度。
In general the controversy lies in whether the states are under autocratic or democratic rule and the constitutional regimes or relevant systems which such rule bases
就這部分，我會在第二部分加以描述。
I will elaborate this in the second part of my speech
社會運動的抗爭以失敗告終，令特區政府、警隊和其支持者成王敗寇的心態日漸膨脹。
As the social resistance movement came to a fiasco the winning parties of the SAR Government the Police Force and their supporters have increasingly been dominated by the victor - to - rule mentality
所帶來的禍害，不限於於政治或社會運動方面，連警隊管治或內部似乎也出現失控的情況。
This would not only do harm to the political or social movement but also caused the internal governance of the Police Force to lose control
於是，2013年警務處的網站居然將棄保潛逃引發公憤的前總警司葛柏形容為含冤受屈的六七鎮暴英雄。
Having said that the Police Force described Peter GODBER a former Chief Superintendent as an aggrieved hero confronting rioters in 1967 ignoring the fact that this corrupted cop had aroused public anger and jumped bail
至於歷史上，1977年警廉衝突高峰時，有過千警員及家屬到廉署總部抗議並入內搗亂打人，知法犯法，形同兵變的惡行，警隊的網站卻竟然形容為溫和的遊行集會。
In the climax of the conflict between the Police Force and ICAC in 1977 over 1 000 police officers and their relatives marched in protest to the ICAC headquarters causing a disturbance and assaulting people in knowingly violation of the law . But their mutiny - like vicious behaviours were described as a moderate possession and assembly in the website
按這種做法，在警隊或部分成員及支持者的眼中，香港警隊似乎是偉大、光榮、正確的，不會犯上任何錯誤，任何質疑和批評會被視為對於警隊的侮辱，甚至要設立辱警罪，以堵塞悠悠之口。
But this distortion to history reflects the mindset of the Police Force or some police officers and their supporters who consider the Police Force as great glorious right and could do no wrong . Any doubts or criticisms so raised will be regarded as insults to the Police Force which warrants the introduction of the offence of insulting public officers to keep their mouths shut
新馬克斯理論家阿爾都塞認為專權政府控制人民的機器有兩大類：第一是意識形態的機器，主要是思想控制，簡單來說，是令人民甘願成為奴隸。
A new Marxist philosopher Louis Pierre ALTHUSSER thinks there are two major state apparatuses to reinforce the autocratic rule the Ideological State Apparatus ISA and the Repressive State Apparatus RSA . ISA is a form of ideological control . To put it simple it seeks to make the subjects to become slaves willingly
第二是鎮壓的機器，即是說通過警察或軍隊進行暴力的控制。
RSA is the control through the repression of the police force or army
因為有很 多人會認為香港是法治社會，但我想引用這觀點來指出，香港是法治社會這觀點其實是謬誤。
The common belief that Hong Kong is a society with a rule of law is a misconception under this viewpoint
香港從來都是法管的社會，尤其是在殖民管治時，政府只是以開明專制來包裝出較良好的形象。
Instead Hong Kong has all along been under the rule by law . It was particularly so in times of the colonial rule though the Government gave the rule by law a better image and packaged it as an enlightened autocracy
舉例來說，港英年代其實通過意識形態的塑造，即我剛才提述阿爾都塞所指意識形態的機器，令香港警察成為香港或皇家香港警察的形象。
One example is the Hong Kong Police Force . During the British - Hong Kong era the Government boosted the image of the then Royal Hong Kong Police Force by means of ideology building through the adoption of ALTHUSSERs ISA
但這形象在今天已經一掃而空，例如說警隊面對示威者的態度，甚至是普通生活上面對平民百姓的態度。
However the Police Forces attitude towards the protestors or even their attitude towards the ordinary people in daily life has totally swept away their positive image
當中的轉變只是再次告訴我們，其實香港所謂的法治，從頭到尾都只是謬誤，實際上政府用的是鎮壓的機器，即我剛才提到阿爾都塞所說，一個政權如何維持社會秩序的另一個方法。
The change in the attitude of the Police Force reinforces the point that Hong Kongs upholding the rule of law is utterly a misconception . Hong Kong is rather under the control of RSA the other apparatus to maintain social order aside ideology control in ALTHUSSERs theory
不過，政府只是利用比較開明，或比較漂亮的包裝來維持其所謂的正當性。
Only that the RSA control was packaged in a more liberal and beautiful way in a bid to maintain the legitimacy of the Government
說回香港的情況，為甚麼我會提出關於"設立警員操守資料庫"的議案？
As for the situation in Hong Kong today why do I have to move the motion on Setting up an information database on the conduct of police officers?
直至六七暴動，警方的鎮壓才令本來不得人心的警隊，因為面對當時的左派或"左仔"，其形象才開始略有改善。
It was not until the riots in 1967 when the unpopular police offices confronted and suppressed the leftists that the image of the Police Force was slightly improved
到1970年代，麥理浩來港準備整頓香港的管治，成立廉署，當年警隊人人自危。
In the 1970s Murray MACLEHOSE came to Hong Kong to fix the governance problem . His establishment of ICAC had brought fear to the entire Police Force
1977年，正如我剛才提到，更有警員衝進廉署總部搗亂，迫使政府讓步，最後是利用不再追究的形式來處理，即歷史上所謂"警廉衝突"。
In 1977 as I have just said numerous police officers marched to the ICAC headquarters to cause a disturbance in an attempt to force the Government to give in . The conflict was finally resolved after the Government agreed not to pursue the cases . This was the conflict between the Police Force and ICAC in the history of Hong Kong
在發生警廉衝突事件後，大家在管治上達成妥協，警隊在廉署成立前涉及的貪污案件不再展開調查，而往後的案件，大家則按《廉政公署條例》作出一系列的改善。
A compromise was reached after ICAC agreed not to pursue any pre - ICAC corruption cases involving police officers . Post - ICAC corruption cases however would be dealt with in accordance with the Independent Commission Against Corruption Ordinance
由1970年代開始，至1980年代、1990年代，警隊的貪腐行為逐漸大減，形象不斷改善。
From 1970s through 1990s corruption cases involving police officers had drastically reduced while their image has kept to improve
在1980年代、1990年代更可稱為警隊威猛的高峰期，因為當時中國大陸很多"省港旗兵"或"大圈仔"來港犯案，涉及很多大型搶劫罪行。
The period between 1980s and 1990s could be regarded as the heyday of the Police Force . Some gangsters from Mainland China had committed a number of large - scale robberies in Hong Kong during that period of time when the number of police officers on routine patrol was insufficient
但由於巡邏的警員不足，於是為警隊塑造出一個奮身抗賊及保護香港市民的形象，大受香港市民的尊敬。
Hence the image of police officers risking their lives to protect Hong Kong people won admiration from the public
當時香港的流行媒體亦出現很多關於警察的作品，當中，無綫電視播放很多關於警察的電視劇，均是大家耳熟能詳，受到很多香港市民歡迎。
This was further boosted by mainstream media which produced a lot of programmes featuring police officers . Among them TVBs drama series on police officers were highly popular among Hong Kong people
主席，我希望你了解設立警員操守資料庫不是單純的單一措施，我開始發言時希望能夠將討論擴闊至關於香港發展或香港管治的範疇。
President I hope you can understand that the setting up an information database on the conduct of police officers is not a single measure . So I would like to first speak on the wider perspective of the development or governance of Hong Kong
我會很快進入你認為的相關主題。
I will talk about issues which you consider relevant to the subject shortly
意識形態的控制令香港警隊的形象改變，亦令香港警隊慢慢能與香港市民接觸，香港市民不再懼怕香港警隊。
Thanks to the ideological control the image of the Hong Kong Police Force has improved . Hong Kong people no longer fear about the Police Force as there have been more and more interactions between the two
警察公共關係科，或後來設立的投訴制度，令香港人覺得，原來香港的警察不再是俗稱的"差佬"，而真的變成皇家香港警察。
The work of the Police Public Relations Branch and the subsequent setting up of the complaint mechanism helps give Hong Kong people an impression that police officers in Hong Kong are truly members of the Royal Hong Kong Police Force not undisciplined cops
可惜的是，在2014年至2016年，這一切完全被揭破。
All of these were exposed in the years between 2014 and 2016
正如我剛才所說，現時香港政府似乎是有恃無恐，不太着重警隊的形象。
As I have just said holding all the trump cards the Hong Kong Government no longer cares about the image of the Police Force
所帶來的禍害是，在2017年1月左右，當時的香港警察員佐級協會主席陳祖光曾發出公開信，認為市民大眾近年對於警隊執法或形象的批評，是將警察和罪犯混為一談，居心叵測，認為"聖人難免有少錯"，並保證警隊嚴守紀律。
What harms would be done to Hong Kong? . In an open letter issued in around January 2017 Chairman of the Junior Police Officers Association CHAN Cho - kwong considers criticism about the enforcement and the image of the Police Force as an ill - motivated attempt to confuse police officers with criminals . Vowing that police officers are under strict discipline CHAN also says even sage will commit minor mistakes
但事實及數據告訴我們，對警隊的批評不是我們憑空捏造。
However the criticisms are not unfound accusations and are rather backed by facts and statistics
由2016年年底或2017年年初開始，由於坊間對警隊的批評較多，於是警隊開始慢慢在紀律上收斂。
From end of 2016 or early 2017 the Police Force have been a bit mindful about their discipline in response to widespread criticisms in society
不過，我想指出有關警員犯罪的數字。
Yet I wish to provide some figures on crimes committed by off - duty police officers
而在這2個月，每個月亦大概有3宗。
There were three such cases in each of the past two months
但問題是，我們的特首、公務員的首長，或高層的管理團隊，似乎不太明白原來香港法治的形象只是一個包裝。
However the problem is our Chief Executive as well as chiefs and senior officials of the civil service do not realize that Hong Kongs upholding of the rule of law is essentially a packaged image
但我們不明白原來這些就是法治的形象，就是香港曾經經營建立的法治形象。
Yet those who have mocked this attire do not understand that it represents the image of the rule of law an image Hong Kong had once built up
同樣地，香港皇家警察，"皇家"二字並不是單純的命名，而是背後有很大的含義。
The same is for the naming of the Royal Hong Kong Police Force . Naming our police force with the word Royal carries enormous implications
當中的信任，在一個民主的社會，是理應體現在主權在民的原則，但可惜，香港制度並非如此。
That trust should have been embodied in the principle of sovereignty residing with the people in a democratic society but unfortunately it is not the case for Hong Kong
我請涂謹申議員發言及就議案動議修正案。
I call upon Mr James TO to speak and move an amendment to the motion
主席，我首先多謝易志明議員動議這項議案。
President I would first of all like to thank Mr Frankie YICK for moving this motion
全球環保意識日漸提高，多個國家及汽車生產商已宣布在未來30年內禁售燃油車，以及全面停止生產燃油車。
The global awareness of environmental protection has been rising and a number of countries and vehicle manufacturers have announced the prohibition of sale of fuel - engined vehicles as well as the complete cessation of the production of fuel - engined vehicles in the next 30 years
我認為研發新一代的零排放電動車，將成為全球汽車產業發展的大方向。
I think the research and development of new - generation zero - emission electric vehicles EVs will become the general direction of the development of the automobile industry worldwide
可惜，特區政府在這問題上一直"龜速"前行。
Regrettably the SAR Government has been advancing at tortoise speed in this respect
我認為政府應進一步推動電動車普及化，以減少路邊廢氣排放，改善空氣質素。
In my opinion the Government should further promote the popularization of EVs so as to reduce roadside emission and improve air quality
主席，過去多年來，本港路邊空氣中的可吸入懸浮粒子及二氧化氮水平持續超出本港的空氣質素指標，這主要是由車輛排放的污染物所致，其中柴油車輛排放的廢氣更是這些污染物的主要來源。
President the levels of respirable suspended particulates and nitrogen dioxide at the roadside in Hong Kong have been exceeding the Air Quality Objectives over the years and motor vehicles especially diesel vehicles are the main sources of these pollutants at street level in Hong Kong
在經濟學人智庫公布的今年最新全球宜居城市排名中，香港的排名又下降了兩位，而空氣污染問題嚴重亦是令香港排名下降的原因之一。
According to the Livability Ranking announced by the Economist Intelligence Unit for the current year Hong Kongs ranking has again gone down two places and serious air pollution is one of the factors for the drop of our ranking
特區政府多年來一直致力改善本地空氣污染問題，而為了解決這問題，政府更應加大力度推動電動車的使用。
The SAR Government has all along been working vigorously to mitigate the problem of air pollution over the past many years and in order to have the problem resolved the Government should strengthen its actions on the promotion of the use of EVs
為鼓勵市民使用電動車，政府其實也有下工夫，早於1994年已開始豁免電動車首次登記稅，至今已超過20年，但說到措施的成效，我卻認為未如理想。
The Government has in fact striven to encourage the use of EVs and measures have been implemented as early as in 1994 to waive the first registration tax for EVs . Although such measures have been put in place for over 20 years I consider that they have failed to achieve satisfactory results
截至2017年8月底，全港只有11,033輛電動車，佔全港已登記車輛總數的1.3%。
As at end of August 2017 there were only 11 033 EVs in Hong Kong accounting for 1.3 % of the total number of registered vehicles in the territory
特區政府更於去年公布的財政預算案中，取消全數豁免電動私家車首次登記稅的措施，把電動私家車的稅務寬免限額削減至以97,500元為上限，加上相關充電設施不足，我認為這是窒礙本港推動電動車普及化步伐的兩大因素。
In the Budget announced last year the SAR Government has even abolished the full waiver of first registration tax for electric private cars and capped the tax concession amount at 97,500 . Together with the inadequacy of charging facilities I think these are two major factors impeding the pace of promoting the popularization of EVs in Hong Kong
事實上，特區政府在2011年已為電動車普及化設定目標，但卻毫無成效。
In fact the SAR Government has already formulated objectives for the popularization of EVs in 2011 but no effect has so far been achieved
政府訂定的第一個目標，是2020年會有30%私家車屬電動車輛或混合動力車輛；第二個目標則是在新落成建築物中，會有30%私家車泊車位可提供相關充電設施。
The first objective set by the Government is to increase the proportion of EVs or hybrid vehicles to 30 % of registered private cars by 2020; while the second objective is to provide charging facilities for EVs in 30 % of private car parking spaces in newly constructed buildings
現在距2020年尚有不足3年，如此看來，政府這兩大目標勢必極快速及極容易地"走數"。
With less than three years left before 2020 it seems that it is most unlikely that the Government will be able to achieve these two major targets
在電動車普及方面，政府突然把電動私家車的稅務寬免額削減至以97,500元為上限。
With regard to the popularization of EVs the Government has suddenly reduced and capped the tax concession amount for electric private cars at 97,500
在這項新安排下，電動車款的購買成本無疑會大幅調升，令潛在買家的購買意欲大減。
Under such a new arrangement the costs for purchasing EVs will undoubtedly increase substantially thus providing a strong disincentive for potential buyers
根據運輸署的數字，目前電動車佔整體登記車輛不足2%，與政府定下的目標有相當懸殊的差距。
According to information provided by the Transport Department the number of EVs at present accounts for less than 2 % of the total number of registered vehicles and there is a huge gap between this figure and the target proportion set by the Government
對此情況，政府解釋當局較關心本港整體車輛的數量增長，要有相應措施作出改善，這是否表示推廣電動車普及化的措施必須擱置？
In this connection the Government has explained that it is more concerned about the growth in the total number of vehicles in Hong Kong and measures have to be formulated accordingly to improve the situation . Does it necessarily mean that the Government has to shelve all measures to promote the popularization of EVs?
我認為這說法完全無法配合政策局經常提出的普及化的目標，亦未能真正妥善處理壓抑私家車數量增長的訴求。
I do not consider such an attitude adequate for the Government to meet the targets constantly put forward by the relevant Policy Bureau to popularize EVs and neither can it help the Government genuinely address the aspiration for curbing the growth in the number of private cars
主席，很多市民對我說，不希望政府一如俗語所形容，"講就天下無敵，做就無能為力"。
President many people have relayed to me that they do not want to see that the Government is as the saying goes invincible in its words but powerless in its actions
根據環保署的數字，充電設施由2011年的872個增至2017年的1,774個，但現時全港有近萬輛電動車，即平均每個充電設施須應付約6輛電動車的需求，試問如何能令電動車普及化呢？
According to figures from the Environmental Protection Department the number of chargers has increased from 872 in 2011 to 1 774 in 2017 but there are now some 10 000 EVs in the whole territory meaning that each charger is used to serve the needs of about six EVs on average
再者，電動車充電設施分為慢速、中速和快速充電3種，慢速充電器需時24小時至40小時才能為一輛電動車充電完畢，試問這又如何能提供更大誘因，吸引市民選購電動車呢？
Furthermore the speed of charging facilities for EVs is classified into three categories namely standard medium and fast chargers and it takes 24 to 40 hours to fully recharge an electric car with a standard charger . How can this provide a greater incentive to attract more people to go for electric cars?
至於泊位不足或被霸佔的問題，也一直受到市民非議。
The problems of inadequate parking spaces for EVs or their occupation by non - electric cars have also attracted a lot of public criticisms
當局亦可考慮增設"咪錶充電站"、"路邊充電站"及"路燈充電杆"，這些措施均可方便電動車車主。
Consideration can also be given by the Government to providing metered parking spaces installed with charging facilities roadside charging stations and street light charging points and all these measures can bring convenience to owners of EVs
最後，我希望政府能聽取我們的意見，因很多市民要求我向政府反映，就着電動車普及化，政府必須坐言起行，不能"有頭威，無尾陣"，最終令有關政策變得不倫不類。
Finally I hope the Government will listen to our views because many people have asked me to reflect to the Government that with regard to the popularization of EVs it should put its words into actions . The Government should avoid committing the mistake of starting well but finishing poorly thus rendering the relevant policy a nondescript
我嘗試將我剛才15分鐘的發言，濃縮為簡短的解釋......
Let me try to shorten my earlier speech of 15 minutes to a brief explanation
鄭松泰議員，你現在只可就修正案發言。
Dr CHENG Chung - tai you are only allowed to speak on the amendment now
請你就涂謹申議員的修正案發言，不要重複先前的論點。
Please speak on Mr James TOs amendment and do not repeat your previous viewpoints
我認為這是在政治制度有限制或有缺陷的情況下最為公開、公平和公正的做法。
In my view under the political system that is defective with limitations this approach has the utmost openness fairness and impartiality
事實上，警員可能知法犯法，甚至監守自盜。
In fact there is a chance that police officers may break the law knowingly or even abuse their official authority
再者，現時警隊有一個很基本的缺陷，就是假如警員犯事甚或違規，大眾其實無法知道警察內部......
Besides there is a fundamental defect in the Police ie
雖然當局表示會根據《警察通例》或本身的規例作出懲處，但我們從很多例子看見，當警員被法庭定罪後，仍然能夠獲得長俸。
in case a police officer has done something wrong or broken the rules there is no way for the public to know how the Police will internally although the authorities say that punishment will be made in accordance with the Police General Orders or their own rules we have learnt from many cases that some police officers can still receive pension payments after being convicted by the court
所以，我認為涂謹申議員的修正案有不足之處。我希望設立警員操守資料庫，把監察警隊的權力交還給香港人，讓警隊面對公眾。
Therefore in my view the amendment of Mr James TO is deficient and I hope that an information database on the conduct of police officers will be set up so as to give Hong Kong people the power to monitor the Police and hold the Police accountable to the public
容海恩議員，由於梁繼昌議員、莫乃光議員及盧偉國議員的修正案已獲得通過，請動議你經修改的修正案。
Since the question was agreed by a majority of each of the two groups of Members present he therefore declared that the amendment was passed . Ms YUNG Hoi - yan as the amendments of Mr Kenneth LEUNG Mr Charles Peter MOK and Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok have been passed you may move your revised amendment
主席，我動議我經修改的修正案，進一步修正經梁繼昌議員、莫乃光議員及盧偉國議員修正的易志明議員議案。
President I move that Mr Frankie YICKs motion as amended by Mr Kenneth LEUNG Mr Charles Peter MOK and Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok be further amended by my revised amendment
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：容海恩議員就經梁繼昌議員、莫乃光議員及盧偉國議員修正的易志明議員議案動議的修正案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That Ms YUNG Hoi - yans amendment to Mr Frankie YICKs motion as amended by Mr Kenneth LEUNG Mr Charles Peter MOK and Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok be passed
主席，特區政府的政策，主要是透過推動使用環保車輛，包括電動車，協助減低路邊的空氣污染，改善空氣質素。
President in the main the policy of the SAR Government aims to promote the use of environment - friendly vehicles including electric vehicles EVs as a means of helping to reduce roadside air pollution and improve air quality
根據中央政策組在2015年3月發表的"推廣使用電動車背景研究"報告指出，香港在推動使用電動車方面有多項獨特優勢，包括香港地方小、車程短、內地大力發展電動車產業，可以為香港的電動車發展提供有力後盾等。
According to the Background Study on the Promotion of EVs the Study published by the Central Policy Unit in March 2015 Hong Kong is blessed with various unique advantages in promoting the use of EVs . Such advantages include short commuting journeys resulting from its small size and the Mainlands vigorous development of the EV industry which can provide strong logistic support for the development of EVs in Hong Kong
所以，香港可說是全世界最適合使用電動車的地方，尤其是電動的公共交通工具。
Hence the Study says Hong Kong is the worlds most suitable place for using EVs especially in terms of electric public transport
從環保、減排、建造更優質生活環境的角色出發，以電動車逐漸取替汽油和柴油車，是全球大勢所趨。
For reasons of environmental protection emissions reduction and the building of a quality living environment a step - by - step replacement of fuel - engined vehicles and diesel vehicles with EVs is by now an inevitable global trend
正如中央政策組的研究所指，香港擁有多項推動電動車應用的優勢，是適合使用電動車的地方。
As pointed out by the Study Hong Kong enjoys a number of unique advantages in promoting the use of EVs and is a suitable place for using EVs
但很可惜，特區政府近年在推動電動車方面，一直被人批評力度不足，政府沒有投放足夠資源和相應配套措施，加上全港各區的電動車充電位的數量不足，而議員剛才也提到充電度緩慢的問題，直接影響車主更換電動車的意欲。
Unfortunately in recent years the SAR Governments efforts to promote EVs have been criticized for lacking in vigour . The Government has neither deployed sufficient resources nor provided any support measures . Also there is a shortage of EV charging facilities across the territory and a Member has also mentioned the slow speed of chargers
再者，最近提到的首次登記稅的問題，早前說可全數寬免，現在卻是大幅減少，這是否直接影響私家車車主更換電動車的意欲呢？
All this has directly dampened car owners desire to switch to EVs . Besides we have been discussing the issue of first registration tax concessions for EVs these days . Previously it was said that total exemption could be possible
但這些措施是否能達致原本的目標和成效呢？
Can these measures achieve the intended goal and effectiveness?
根據運輸署的資料顯示，自1994年開始實施電動車首次登記稅豁免安排至2017年7月，全港已登記的電動車共10,876輛，約佔全港已登記車輛數目的1.3%，當中的97%為電動私家車。
As shown by the statistics of the Transport Department from the introduction of first registration tax concessions for EVs in 1994 to July 2017 totally 10 876 EVs were registered accounting for 1.3 % of all registered vehicles in Hong Kong
本港電動私家車的數量在過去的五六年間大幅飆升，由2011年1月只有極少數量的60輛，逐漸增至2016年的6,994輛，佔首次登記私家車總數的7.3%。
Of the registered EVs 97 % were electric private cars . The number of electric private cars in Hong Kong has soared over the past five to six years increasing from merely 60 in January 2011 to 6 994 in 2016 or 7.3 % of all private cars registered for the first time
此外，截至2016年年底，首次登記的電動車共7,212輛，獲寬免的首次登記稅額約44億元。
Moreover as at late 2016 about 4.4 billion worth of first registration tax concessions had been granted to totally 7 212 EVs registered for the first time
在2012年至2017年的5個財政年度，首次登記電動私家車的紀錄，應課稅價值超過70萬元的電動車，佔整體電動私家車總數的73.1%，反映受惠於豁免首次登記稅的電動私家車，大部分屬於貴價的電動私家車。
In the five financial years from 2012 to 2017 electric private cars registered for the first time and with a taxable value of over 700,000 accounted for 73.1 % of all electric private cars . This shows that most of the electric private cars benefiting from the first registration tax concessions are expensive ones
我們理解這樣的結果，因為我們知道電動車的供應商其實不多，貨源亦多數單一，而且電動車生產商不多，所以我們知道其價值會較昂貴，但我們認為如果政府推出這樣的措施，便好像是鼓勵人購買昂貴的車輛，因為車輛價錢越昂貴，節省越多。
We can understand why this is the case because we know that there are actually very few EV suppliers and even just a single source of supply . Also the number of EV manufacturers is very small so prices are rather high . But we still have to say that such a government measure is very much like encouraging people to buy expensive cars because the money saved is directly proportional to vehicle prices
但是，有不少車主向我反映，這個"一換一"計劃並不吸引，因為他們要承擔額外開支，所以直接影響他們購買新電動車的意欲，我亦十分懷疑"一換一"計劃能否真正取得政府想要的成效。
But many car owners have told me that they do not find the scheme appealing because they must bear additional expenses and this directly affects their desire to buy new EVs . I also doubt whether the one - for - one replacement scheme can really achieve the Governments desired result
主席，不少環保節能設施在剛推出的時候，成本一定較高，如果政府不率先自行引入，除表現出政府對推動環保有心無力之外，更無法推進環保設施的普及使用。
President in many cases environment - friendly and energy - saving facilities are bound to be more costly when they are first rolled out . If the Government does not take the initiative and itself introduce these facilities then apart from exposing its powerlessness in promoting environmental protection it will also fail to promote the popular use of any environment - friendly facilities
例如電動車的使用和發展，很大程度要依靠政府的推動，以及增設相關的配套設施。
The use and development of EVs for example must depend heavily on government promotion and its provision of various support facilities
根據環保署的資料，公共電動車充電設施數目由2011年的872個，上升至2017年9月底的1,774個，即是6年間只是大約增加1倍。
As shown by the statistics of the Environmental Protection Department the number of public EV charging facilities saw an increase from 872 in 2011 to 1 774 in late September 2017 . This means that there was only a twofold increase in six years
但是，本港電動車與充電站的比例卻是1：0.17，遠低於全球平均的1：1.1。
But the ratio of EVs to charging facilities in Hong Kong is 1col0.17 which falls far behind the global average of 1col1.1
