首先，從政治的角度而言，很多泛民選委也認同，某位候選人的政綱跟泛民的理念最接近，但當這位候選人興高采烈持着180張提名票進身特首選舉後，居然有反對派選委公然表示，要將所有票投給另一名政治理念一直跟泛民南轅北轍的候選人。
First from the political perspective many pan - democratic EC members also agree that the political platform of one candidate is most in line with the pan - democratic visions . However after this candidate has delightedly submitted 180 nomination votes which qualify him as a candidate in this Chief Executive Election some opposition EC members have surprisingly said in public that they would give all their votes to another candidate whose political ideals have all along been opposite to those of the pan - democratic camp
這樣做不但有違政界人士對理念的堅持，更以殘酷的方式終結了他們原先支持的候選人。
By doing so they have not only run counter to the insistence of politicians on their ideals but also cruelly aborted the campaign of the candidate they had originally supported
反對派竟然不支持提出政策增加政府開支的候選人，反而聲稱要把票投給對教育一竅不通、一直拒絕增加民生福利開支的守財奴。
Instead of supporting a candidate who has proposed policies to increase public spending the opposition camp has claimed to vote for a candidate who knows nothing about education and who has all along been a miser refusing to increase expenditure on peoples livelihood and welfare
這種非理性的投票方式，只是意圖操控選舉。
This irrational voting behaviour is only intended to manipulate the election
行政長官不但要向香港負責，更要向中央負責。
The Chief Executive should be accountable not only to Hong Kong but the Central Authorities as well
關注特首選舉，中央責無旁貸。
It is the unshirkable responsibility of the Central Authorities to pay attention to the Chief Executive election
反對派卻一直指中央的關注是對香港選舉的干預。
The opposition camp has been claiming that the Central Authorities concern about the election is a form of interference in the election in Hong Kong
反對派借用外部勢力，所作所為不僅是干預選舉，簡直是想操控選舉結果，這是惡人先告狀的典型例子。
With the help of foreign forces the opposition camp has not only interfered in the election but intended to manipulate the election results . This is a typical example of the problem maker being the first one to file a complaint
有見及此，我支持謝偉俊議員和李慧琼議員的修正案，反對原議案。
For this reason I support the amendments of Mr Paul TSE and Ms Starry LEE and oppose the original motion
然而，今天大家看看現時的3位候選人，或之前的4位參選人，包括葉劉淑儀議員在內，我相信大部分市民也覺得是有選擇的。
However let us take a look at the three candidates today or the four persons seeking nomination including Mrs Regina IP I believe most members of the public would think they do have a choice
至於很多人問選舉有否受到影響，選舉是必定有人影響的。
Many people have asked if there is any influence on the election . In my view there is no doubt that influence prevails in all elections
我身邊的張宇人議員亦會影響我的投票取態，試問怎會沒有影響呢？
Mr Tommy CHEUNG who is sitting next to me may also influence my voting preference . How can there be no influence?
其中一位候選人曾在電視節目中表示，大家大可以不接聽這類電話。
One of the candidates once said in a television program that we could decide not to answer such calls
現時，大部分市民最希望新任特首在未來數年做些甚麼呢？
At present what are the things that members of the public would like the next Chief Executive to do in the next few years?
習主席曾經說過，他要求特首要"促和諧、求穩定、謀發展"。
President XI once said that he hoped the Chief Executive could promote harmony maintain stability and pursue development
換言之，中央或習主席和香港市民均有一共同要求，就是促和諧，希望香港未來會有和諧的社會。
In other words the Central Authorities President XI and Hong Kong people do have a common expectation which is to promote harmony and this is a wish to see a harmonious Hong Kong in the future
我希望3月26日成功當選的特首可以做到這一點，令香港有新局面出現。
I hope that the Chief Executive to be elected on 26 March will be able to do so and open up a new era for Hong Kong
我希望到了2022年，全港300多萬名選民均有權選擇自己心目中的特首，這樣才可以帶動香港的民主步伐向前走，這才對香港未來的發展更有益。
I hope that in 2022 more than 3 million electors in Hong Kong will have the right to vote for their favourite Chief Executive . Only in so doing can we boost Hong Kongs democratic development process one step forward which will undoubtedly be beneficial to the future development of Hong Kong
在今天的議案辯論，我相信田北辰議員是其中一位最應該發言的議員。
In todays motion debate I believe that Mr Michael TIEN is one of the Members who should express his views
田北辰議員早前提到，有很多有分量的中間人致電不同的選舉委員會委員，力谷一名建制派的候選人。
Mr TIEN mentioned earlier that a number of heavyweight middlemen called different Election Committee EC members trying hard to canvass votes for a pro - establishment candidate
但是，謝偉俊議員說過，權力越大的人，越要克制，事實上，權力越大的人，所能施加的白色恐怖壓力越大，因此越要克制。
However as Mr Paul TSE has said a person with greater power should exercise more self - restraint . As a matter of fact a person with greater power can exert greater white terror and hence more self - restraint should be exercised
今天的香港，無論建制派如何解釋，他們都承認一個客觀事實，就是中聯辦確曾向一些選委說話、給予他們關心或關注，或在我們眼中的壓力，令行政長官的選舉出現各式各樣的異樣事情。
Today no matter what explanations have been given by pro - establishment Members they have admitted an objective fact that is LOCPG has indeed spoken to some EC members expressing their care or concern or in our eyes exerting pressure . Consequently some abnormalities have emerged in the Chief Executive Election
眾所周知，中聯辦在各級選舉中均積極介入，運用其影響力。
It is a well - known fact that LOCPG has been actively involved and exerted influence at all levels of elections
這種影響力、這種權力所觸及的範圍非常廣泛，如果他們不克制，直接介入香港的內部事務，只會令香港人與中央政府的關係越走越遠。
Such influence and power cover a very wide scope and if LOCPG does not exercise restraint and directly intervenes in the internal affairs of Hong Kong the relationship between Hong Kong people and the Central Government will become more and more distant
大家回想，在2003年前，所有民調均顯示香港人相當信任中央政府，甚至信中央多於信特區政府，因為當時，正如楊岳橋議員所說，我們不太察覺中聯辦在香港干政的身影。
As we may recall before 2003 all opinion polls showed that Hong Kong people had great trust in the Central Government . They even trusted the Central Authorities more than the SAR Government because at that time as pointed out by Mr Alvin YEUNG we were not aware of the presence of LOCPG
但是，在2003年後的10多年，這情況已然逆轉，今天，香港人與中央政府已越走越遠。
Yet the situation has been reversed more than 10 years after 2003 and the relationship between Hong Kong people and the Central Government has become more and more distant today
這問題非常嚴峻，嚴峻程度足以令國家主席也要提出"一國兩制"不可以走樣，不可以變形，這是國家主席習近平先生所提出的要求。
The problem is very serious so serious that the President of the Peoples Republic of China stated that the principle of one country two systems must not be distorted or twisted . This is the request made by President XI Jinping
國務院港澳事務辦公室主任王光亞先生亦指出，新特首應該符合4項很重要的條件，包括獲中央信任、愛國愛港、有管治能力，再新加入的獲得香港人擁護。
Mr WANG Guangya Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council also pointed out that the new Chief Executive should meet four crucial criteria trust from the Central Government loving the country and Hong Kong an ability to govern and support from Hong Kong people
其實這些是否變化呢？
Are these changes?
這正好顯示，中央政府總結了香港在施行"一國兩制"的過程中所出現的問題，甚至重返當天提出實行"一國兩制"，制定《基本法》時，鄧小平先生說的，在香港，當然要防右，但更重要的是防左，因為他清楚知道，極左的路線會對香港社會影響非常深遠，這也總結了過去數十年解放後中國社會所曾經歷的風浪。
This precisely reflects that the Central Government has summed up the problems arising in the course of implementing one country two systems in Hong Kong . The problem encountered when the proposed implementation of one country two systems and the enactment of the Basic Law were raised has even arisen again . Mr DENG Xiaoping said at that time that Hong Kong should guard against the rightist but it was more important to guard against the leftist because he clearly knew that the extreme leftist would have far - reaching impacts on Hong Kongs society
但是，香港市民更為擔心，因為香港市民很清楚，中聯辦這做法是不可接受的。
But Hong Kong people are even more worried because they are clearly aware that the practice of LOCPG is unacceptable
在今次的議案中，我們要求行政長官的選舉要公正進行，但大家都明白小圈子選舉必然吸引中聯辦的干預，因為他們有這麼強大的影響力，而且只需要影響1,100或1,200名選委便足夠，這目標相對容易達成。
In this motion we request the Government to ensure that the Chief Executive Election be conducted under fair conditions . However we all understand that a small - circle election will certainly attract LOCPGs intervention because it has such strong influence and it only has to influence 1 100 or 1 200 EC members . This goal is relatively easy to reach
因此，無論如何，我們都要爭取真正的民主普選，以致即使中聯辦要干預、要影響我們的選舉，也要面對全香港市民的監察，這樣，中聯辦的干預雖然本質上不符合《基本法》第二十二條，我們仍能將其對整個制度的傷害減至最低。
Therefore in any case we must strive for genuine democratic universal suffrage so that even if LOCPG wants to intervene and affect our election it will be monitored by all the people of Hong Kong . As such though LOCPGs intervention runs contrary to Article 22 of the Basic Law the damage to the whole system can still be minimized
在今次的選舉中，大家可以留意到，泛民主派作了一個很重要的決定，有人說："你們只不過是想挑戰中央而已"，但不要忘記，泛民主派所支持的候選人，在過去9年半一直擔任特區政府中第二把手的財政司司長，無論如何也不可說成他是不獲中央信任的人選。
Members may notice that the pan - democrats have made a very important decision in this election . Some said that the pan - democrats just want to challenge the Central Authorities but they should not forget that the candidate supported by the pan - democrats is the former Financial Secretary the second - in - command of the SAR Government in the past nine and a half years; in any case it cannot be said that he is not trusted by the Central Authorities
但是，我們見到，即使民主派或香港市民支持一名建制派的候選人，最終中央政府也不會讓香港市民享有自由選擇的權利，仍然覺得他們要有所篩選。
However even if the democrats or Hong Kong people support a pro - establishment candidate the Central Government ultimately will not let Hong Kong people enjoy the right to choose freely as it still thinks that screening is necessary
代理主席，經過數輪發言後，很多同事都已經很清楚地表達意見。
Deputy President after a few rounds of discussion many Honourable colleagues have clearly expressed their views
我發言支持姚松炎議員的議案。
I speak in support of Dr YIU Chung - yims motion
究竟北京、"西環"在香港有否過火地超出應有職責，做了不應該做的事？
Have Beijing and Western District gone beyond their duties in Hong Kong and done what they should not do?
我相信香港市民的眼睛是雪亮的。
I believe the eyes of Hong Kong people are sharp
事實上，這說法並不是甚麼新鮮事物，相信大家仍然記得，北京官員一再強調要在香港成立第二支管治部隊。
In fact this statement is nothing new; I believe Members still remember that Beijing officials have repeatedly stressed the need to form a second governance team in Hong Kong
很不幸，過去5年，在梁振英管治下，第二部隊變成了第一部隊，政府在眾多政策上可能需要稍為了解一下"西環"的看法。
Unfortunately under LEUNG Chun - yings governance over the past five years the second team has become the first team and the Government may have to find out more about the views of Western District on a number of policies
針對這次特首選舉，今早大家都說看到很多明顯的痕跡，其實，這算不上是痕跡，反而是明目張膽地作出拉票、威嚇和利誘等行為。
Concerning this Chief Executive Election Members have mentioned this morning that we have seen a lot of obvious traces . In fact these are not traces but blatant acts of canvassing intimidation and inducement etc
然而，在其他選舉，包括區議會和立法會選舉中，"西環"的痕跡不也十分明顯嗎？
However have the traces of Western District also been very obvious in other elections including the elections of the District Councils and the Legislative Council?
在區議會選舉中，"西環"如何協調；在立法會選舉中，"西環"又如何參與？
In what way has Western District played a coordinating role in the elections of the District Councils? . In what way has Western District participated in the elections of the Legislative Council?
中聯辦的角色是甚麼？
What was the role of the Liaison Office?
由協調、拜票，以至大家當選後去謝票，香港人在鏡頭前都看得很清楚。
All steps including coordination soliciting votes and even expressing thanks for votes after being elected have been clearly shown on camera to Hong Kong people
為何大家仍然覺得，今天可以出來辯解並指責我們說出事實是一種誣衊行為？
Why do they still consider that they can find some excuses as explanations today and accuse us of slander when we are telling the truth?
"西環"在選舉中的蹤影比比皆是，讓我舉出一個真實事例，這是我的親身經歷。
Western District is seen to be extensively involved in the election; let me give an actual example about my personal experience
在過去兩年舉行的兩場選舉中，包括區議會和立法會選舉，我親眼看見"西環"的副部長落區為建制派的選舉對手打氣，並參與其中，指揮若定。
In the two elections held in the past two years including the elections of the District Councils and the Legislative Council I saw with my own eyes the Deputy Director of Western District visited the district to cheer up pro - establishment election opponents; he was involved and he gave directions
我不知道他當時具體說了些甚麼，但我從他們 的身體語言清楚看出，他就是選舉的"老大哥"。
I did not know what exactly he had said at the time but I clearly saw from their body language that he was the Big Brother in the elections
《基本法》第二十二條是怎麼寫的，大家是否忘記了？
Have we forgotten about the provision set out in Article 22 of the Basic Law?
今天，有同事說出事實，但竟然有建制派同事混淆視聽，偷換概念。
Today while some Honourable colleagues have told the truth some Honourable colleagues from the pro - establishment camp have played the tricks of disguised replacement of concept and confused the public
在這次特首選舉中，我們不幸地被迫面對這場選戰。
We are unfortunately forced to participate in this Chief Executive election
這是很清晰的事實。
This is clear enough
我們被迫面對小圈子選舉，也被迫作出困難的決定。
We are forced to be involved in the coterie election and we are forced to make difficult decisions
剛才，朱凱廸議員提到，究竟要策略還是原則？
Just now Mr CHU Hoi - dick asked if we wanted strategies or principles
其實，我很尊重今天仍然關心香港未來政制發展的人，以及仍然盡力作出抵抗的人。
In fact I very much respect people who are still concerned about the future constitutional development of Hong Kong and those who are still trying their best to resist
不論他們作出甚麼決定，我都支持。
I support whatever decisions they have reached
只要大家基於事實和道理進行討論，縱使我們最終可能看法不同。
So long as we have our discussions on the basis of facts and principles it does not matter if we may eventually come up with different views
我覺得，策略性投票是面對小圈子選舉這種兩難局面的出路。
In my opinion strategic voting is a way out in the face of this dilemma of a coterie election
真是太離譜，他們違反《基本法》第二十二條，干預香港內政。
This is indeed outrageous; they have contravened Article 22 of the Basic Law and intervened in the internal affairs of Hong Kong
老實說，小圈子選舉的本質就是欽點，無需多說，這是大家都知道的事情。
Honestly the essence of a coterie election is hand - picking somebody; needless to say that is something we all know
這是主席習近平的說法，我希望他能對應香 港的現況作出提醒。
This is what President XI Jinping has said and I hope he can give a reminder based on the present situation in Hong Kong
現時我們應有的態度是，反對、反抗"西環治港"，反對"西環"直接干政，捍衞"一國兩制"。
We should now adopt the stance of opposing and resisting Western District ruling Hong Kong opposing interference in political affairs by Western District and defending one country two systems
剛才有同事說，"西環"就是北京，北京就是"西環"，其實，只要在制度內出現任何霸權、不公義和不合理的壓迫，我們都要反抗。
A colleague has just said that Western District is Beijing and Beijing is Western District . In fact as long as there is hegemony injustice and unreasonable oppression in the system we must resist that
我們不要距離霸權最近的特首，我們要選出一個距離香港市民最近的特首。
We do not want a chief executive who is closest to hegemony and that is why we have to elect a Chief Executive who is closest to Hong Kong people
主席，剛才莫乃光議員說，泛民主派星期日會跟隨民意投票，我聽罷真的覺得很諷刺。
President just now Mr Charles Peter MOK said that pan - democratic Members would vote in accordance with public opinion this Sunday . I really find this ironic
如果民意真的如此重要，是決定性的關鍵，為何當日政改方案表決，反對派不支持政改方案，讓全港市民可以在這個星期日選出行政長官？
If public opinion is really so important decisive and crucial how come when the constitutional reform package was put to the vote the opposition camp did not support the constitutional reform package to enable all Hong Kong people to elect the Chief Executive this Sunday?
今天，本會繼上次政改方案被否決後，再次討論2017年行政長官選舉的安排。
Today this Council discusses again the arrangements for the 2017 Chief Executive Election after the last constitutional reform package was vetoed
主席，第二點要回應的，是據我理解，正如剛才謝偉俊議員所說，在八三一框架下，透過本地立法，提名是可以做到投暗票的，而提名過程並非只限投一票。
President the second point I would like to make in response is that as I understand it and as Mr Paul TSE mentioned just now under the framework of the 31 August Decision it is possible to establish through local legislation a secret - ballot nomination process whereby each nominating committee member can cast more than one vote
在今次選舉中，即使反對派手握300多票，他們很早便說某位參選人一定無法出閘。
As far as this election is concerned even though members of the opposition camp hold 300 - odd votes they claimed at a very early stage that one of the contenders could never secure enough nominations to enter the race
說回今天的議案，驟耳一聽，干預選舉好像很嚴重。
I now come back to todays motion . From the sound of it interference in an election seems to be very serious
我嘗試了解過何謂干預。
I have tried to understand what interference means
我查過字典，亦詢問過法律界的朋友。
I have looked it up in the dictionary and asked my friends in the legal profession about it
事實上，真的有很多說法。
In fact there are indeed many interpretations of it
過問、管閒事，都可能被認為是干預。
Enquiring and meddling may be regarded as interfering
簡單而言，同一句說話，同一番對話，不同的人按其判斷和感受，可得出不同的結論。
To put it plainly different people may come to different conclusions about the same remark or conversation according to their respective judgment and feelings . Let me cite an example
舉個例子，母親很着緊女兒，看到女兒拍拖，便對女兒說："你不應跟你的男朋友拍拖，他既不上進又懶惰，會拖累你的，你應好好讀書，明天不准出街。
Suppose a concerned mother discovers that her daughter is dating someone and says to her daughter You should not date your boyfriend . He is unambitious and lazy . He will drag you down to his level
"女兒可能會覺得母親很離譜，干預她的戀愛自由。
You should study hard . You are forbidden to go out tomorrow . The daughter may think that her mother is being completely unreasonable and interfering in her freedom of love
但是，從另一角度看這件事，女兒可能會說母親其實是關心她，所以才說出那些阻止她出街、干預或干涉她拍拖的說話。
But then looking at it from another angle the daughter may say that her mother uttered those words about forbidding her to go out and interfering or intervening in her courtship because her mother actually cared about her
主席，對於香港的政治環境、香港的政治大事，很多不同的國家確實都非常關心。
President as a matter of fact many different countries are very concerned about the political environment and major political events in Hong Kong
我相信在座的本會議員都經常被不同的領事館約見，特別是在政改期間，約見得比較頻密。2017年行政長官選舉同樣是一件大事，我相信本會議員都經常都被不同的領事館約見。
I believe Members of this Council often receive meeting invitations from different consulates
主席，多謝姚松炎議員提出這項本來根本不應討論的議案。
President I thank Dr YIU Chung - yim for moving this motion which actually should not be discussed
我相信廣大的香港市民看到都不禁欷歔，正是由於大家對於選舉的公平、公正開始產生疑慮，對於現正進行的競選活動及即將舉行的特首選舉充滿疑問，所以才會有今天這項議案辯論。
I believe that the general public of Hong Kong cannot help lamenting over what they observe these days . This motion debate is held today because we have misgivings about the fairness and impartiality of the election and we are doubtful about the ongoing election campaigns and the upcoming Chief Executive Election
剛才李慧琼議員慷慨激昂，說出一大堆道理。
Ms Starry LEE made a passionate speech just now putting forward a list of justifications
主席，她說反對派當天逆民意而行，否決政改方案。
President she said that the opposition camp defied public opinion and voted down the constitutional reform package
主席，不錯，方案是由民主派反對的，但誰離開會議廳？
President it is true that the package was voted down by the pro - democracy camp but who left the Chamber?
請他們自我反省一下，如何把國家交給他們的重大任務做得一塌糊塗，我相信他們到今天也難辭其咎。
I urge them to reflect on why they failed so awfully to accomplish the important mission assigned to them by the country . I believe they could hardly evade the blame even to date
不錯，主席，謝偉俊議員說得正確，權力越大越要克制。
President Mr Paul TSE is right in saying that people with greater power should exercise more self - restraint
我亦相信今天在香港，特別是與中央有緊密關係的人或機構都應要克制一下自己的權力，因為他們的一言一行都代表或至少讓人覺得代表中央。
In my opinion at present individuals or organizations in Hong Kong that maintain close relations with the Central Authorities should be more restrained with their power for their words and deeds represent the Central Authorities or at least people have such an impression
正如習近平主席所說，要確保"一國兩制"不走樣、不變形。
As indicated by President XI Jinping one country two systems should not be distorted or twisted
他為何要再三強調不走樣、不變形，就是因為可能有人在香港正在進行一些令"一國兩制"走樣和變形的事情。
Why did XI emphasize these two points? . Perhaps some people in Hong Kong are doing something causing the practice of one country two systems to be distorted and twisted
哪些人和機構在做這些事情，我相信他們自己非常清楚。
As regards which individuals and organizations are undertaking such actions I believe they have a clear answer
主席，對《基本法》稍為有了解的人也會知道，今天我們所討論的這項議案，特別是我提出的這項修正案，其實是希望加入《基本法》第二十二條的精神。
President anyone with some knowledge of the Basic Law should know that the motion we discuss today and particularly the amendment proposed by me actually aim at incorporating the spirit of Article 22 of the Basic Law
該條文訂明："中央人民政府所屬各部門、各省、自治區、直轄市均不得干預香港特別行政區根據本法自行管理的事務。
The Article stipulates that No department of the Central Peoples Government and no province autonomous region or municipality directly under the Central Government may interfere in the affairs which the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region administers on its own in accordance with this Law
"即使沒有較強文字功底的人也知道這段話的意思，這是"一國兩制"的精神所在，要旨就是自治歸自治，而中央政府或其任何部門，包括駐港機構，均不應對香港作出任何干預。
Even those who are not very proficient in language should understand the meaning of the provision . This is the spirit of one country two systems the gist of which is that autonomy is autonomy and the Central Government or any of its departments including its agencies in Hong Kong should not engage in any form of interference in Hong Kong
主席，我不會質疑我們的同事對字典中"干預"的定義，作抽絲剝繭、咬文嚼字式的討論。
President I cast no doubts on my colleagues painstaking and fastidious discussion concerning the definition of interference in the dictionary
但是，要在會議廳討論何謂"干預"，本身已是荒謬之極。
However the fact that we have to discuss in the Chamber the definition of interference is already very ridiculous
甚麼是"干預"，主席？
What is interference President?
我在此提醒大家，那位是姜恩柱，其後一位是高祀仁。
Let me remind Members that the then Director was JIANG Enzhu who was succeeded by GAO Siren
兩人的身型可能有點不同，但他們的身影在回歸初期，在公眾目光中並不強烈。
The figures of the two persons might be slightly different but neither of them made a conspicuous appearance in public in the early years following the reunification
當時特別提醒建制派的同事在"一國兩制"之下，港人對中央的感情和信任是高的。
In those years―let me specifically remind pro - establishment Members―Hong Kong people had deep affection for and high confidence in the Central Authorities under one country two systems
主席，為何今時今日會每況愈下，我希望大家撫心自問。
President how come the situation has been deteriorating today I hope Members should be honest with themselves
有一年，某一個屋苑的業主立案法團舉行周年晚會，邀請一位民主派人士出席。
In a certain year the owners corporation of a certain residential estate invited a democrat to attend its annual dinner
這位民主派人士到場後，發現原來還有其他建制派議員在席，這沒有問題。
When the democrat arrived at the meeting place he noted that other Members from the pro - establishment camp were present which was perfectly fine
同場剛好有一位中聯辦的官員，這也沒有問題，"同檯食飯，各自修行，天經地義"。
An official from LOCPG was also present which was likewise not a problem . As the saying goes it is perfectly justified for people eating at the same table but minding different business
很多時候，"西環不高興"已造成非常大的恐懼，在香港對這5個字稍有感覺的人，可能已感受到無比壓力。
In many cases the comment that Western District is displeased can already engender great fears and anyone in Hong Kong who are slightly sensitive to these words are probably already under immense pressure
例如，有選舉委員會委員說收到來自內地的電話，鼓勵、暗示他應該如何投票。
A case in point is that a member of the Election Committee EC indicated that he has received phone calls from the Mainland encouraging and implicitly telling him how to vote
我相信其實無需暗示，只要電話另一端的那個人提及你的生意、子女、物業，這些關心可能已經超越關心本身的意義了，主席。
In my opinion an implicit message is actually unnecessary . As soon as the person at the other end of the phone reminds you of your business children and properties such kind of care has already transcended its original meaning President
我相信很多在席的建制派同事點滴在心頭。
I believe many pro - establishment Members present must have their untold bitterness
主席，在座的每一位議員，在星期日都是當然的選委。
President all Members present are ex - officio EC members who have the right to vote in the coming election on Sunday
我沒有興趣了解在席有多少人會收到這些關心的電話，我不會感受到收到電話的人心內有甚麼感受，我也沒有機會理解他們收到電話後的心路歷程。
I have no interest to ascertain how many Members present have received such phone calls expressing care and concern; and I cannot share the feelings of those who have received such phone calls . Likewise I do not have the chance to understand their state of mind upon receiving such phone calls
我只知道能夠坐在這裏的，即使是功能界別的議員，都是經過選舉進入會議廳，而立法會議員作為當然的選委，背負着香港人的期望，而這是千斤重的責任。
All I know is that Members now present in the Chamber including Members returned by functional constituencies joined this Council by way of election . Legislative Council Members being ex - officio EC members shoulder the heavy responsibility of meeting the expectations of Hong Kong people
我希望大家在星期日考慮到香港的未來，投下自己問心無愧的一票。
I hope that when Members vote on Sunday they will give due consideration to the future of Hong Kong and vote with a clear conscience
在席的其他同事對於民望都有不同看法，我完全尊重這點。
I fully respect the differing views of other Members present at the meeting on popularity rating
候選人有否誠信，不同的人可能真的有不同看法。
As regards whether a candidate is credible different people may have different views
