主席，我一直以來非常關注本港高增值航運服務業的發展，很高興政府近年加大力度發展這個行業。
President I am always highly concerned about the development of the high value - added maritime services in Hong Kong and I am glad to see the Government making more effort to develop this industry
回歸20年以來，香港的船舶註冊業務增長迅速，按噸位計算，香港的船舶註冊在全球排名第四，全世界約有10%的船隻在香港註冊。
In the last two decades after the reunification the ship registration business in Hong Kong has experienced a rapid growth . The gross tonnage of ships registered in Hong Kong ranks fourth in the world . About 10 % of all vessels in the world are registered in Hong Kong
但是，香港在發展高增值航運業上，單靠註冊一項並不足夠，我們亦應重視船舶的融資和海事保險等業務。
However in respect of the development of the high value - added maritime services industry ship registration alone is not enough . We should also develop the industries of ship financing and marine insurance etc
金發局的報告建議，政府應考慮向在香港提供海上保險服務的公司/機構等提供稅務優惠。
The FSDC report suggests the Government consider providing tax incentives to companiesorganizations providing marine insurance services in Hong Kong
報告也指出，新加坡向承保船隻保險和海上強制責任保險公 司提供10%的優惠稅率，這些優惠措施是吸引國際海上保險機構在新加坡開展業務的成功因素之一。
It is also pointed out in the report that Singapore is offering a concessionary tax rate of 10 % to insurers for writing both onshore and offshore marine hull and liability risks and these incentives proved to be one of the success factors attracting international marine insurers and brokers to set up their businesses in Singapore
因此，香港亦應考慮引入此類稅務優惠措施，以吸引海上保險的組織/公司在香港開展業務。
Hence Hong Kong should also consider introducing this kind of tax concessions to marine insurers and brokers to attract them to set up businesses in Hong Kong
主席，令人擔憂的是，從統計數字可見，香港的海事保險業務近年有持續縮減的跡象，本港獲授權承保船舶保險的公司數目由2000年的127間，下跌至近年的80多間。
President it is worrisome that the marine insurance business in Hong Kong is showing signs of continuous shrinkage as indicated by statistics . The number of authorized marine insurance companies in Hong Kong has fallen from 127 in 2000 to 80 - odd in recent years
主席，今年的施政報告指出，政府會利用特區駐海外和內地的經濟貿易辦事處為外地船東提供適時的服務，以便他們在香港註冊的船隻可盡快啟航。
President it is pointed out in this years Policy Address that the Government will provide timely services to overseas shipowners through its Economic and Trade Offices ETOs overseas and in the Mainland thereby enabling their Hong Kong - registered ships to set sail promptly
事實上，本年6月，我在經濟發展事務委員會上亦提出相關議案，並獲得通過，政府能在這份施政報告中回應這訴求，我表示非常歡迎。
In fact in June this year I proposed a related motion at the meeting of the Panel on Economic Development and the motion was passed . I welcome the Governments prompt response to this request in this years Policy Address
同時，我也促請政府加快探討邀請更多與海運相關的國際組織在香港開設辦事處的可行性，以促進香港高增值航運業的發展。
At the same time I also urge the Government to look into the possibility of inviting more international maritime organizations to set up offices in Hong Kong to promote the development of high - value added maritime services in Hong Kong
民建聯為了促進政府更積極推動香港的旅遊業發展，在今年夏天，亦撰寫了一份推動旅遊業建議書，希望政府將來落實旅遊業發展藍圖時，可以考慮有關建議。
In order to urge the Government to more actively promote the development of Hong Kongs tourism industry the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB also submitted a proposal this summer in the hope that the Government will consider its recommendations when implementing the blueprint for the tourism industry
我們也希望政府增加電子簽證服務，進一步方便旅客。
We also hope that the Government will introduce the online visa application service to further facilitate travellers visits in Hong Kong
同時，我希望政府可考慮在一程多站的安排上多下工夫。
Moreover I hope that the Government can also consider making more efforts in promoting multi - destination itineraries
主席，關於啟德郵輪碼頭，我們希望政府能夠制訂更多措施，繼續提高碼頭的使用率。
President as regards the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal we hope that the Government will continue to introduce more measures to raise the utilization rate of the Terminal
關於區域合作方面，新一屆政府在特首林鄭月娥的領導下，進一步加強與一些區域的合作，以提升本港的競爭力，我對此表示認同及支持。
In respect of regional cooperation the incumbent Government has under the leadership of Chief Executive Carrie LAM further strengthened the cooperation with certain places in the region to enhance Hong Kongs competitiveness . I approve and support this initiative of the Government
主席，既然政府準備在東盟區域成立第三個經濟貿易辦事處，即在現有的新加坡及印尼經貿辦之外，設立泰國經貿辦，我希望政府可以就這3個經貿辦日後的分工多作思考，特別是泰國經貿辦，就此我希望提供一些意見。
President since the Government is about to set up the third ETO in ASEAN countries that is set up a new ETO in Thailand apart from the existing ones in Singapore and Indonesia . I hope that the Government will give some more consideration to the future distribution of work among the three ETOs especially the one in Thailand . I would like to express some of my thoughts in this regard
除東盟以外，有關國家及地區亦成立了大湄公河次區域，所涵蓋的地方包括柬埔寨、越南、老撾、緬甸、泰國、中國的雲南及廣西等地區，預計大湄公河次區域將成為另一個經濟增長的重點。
Besides ASEAN Southeast Asian countries and places have also formed the Greater Mekong Subregion GMS which covers Cambodia Vietnam Lao PDR Myanmar Thailand as well as the Yunnan and Guangxi Provinces of China . GMS is expected to become another focal point of economic growth
根據有關數據，泰國的人均GDP已經由1992年的1,997美元跳升至2015年的5,815美元。
According to statistics Thailands GDP per capita has jumped from US1,997 in 1992 to US5,815 in 2015
在這情況下，泰國正積極爭取成為大湄公河次區域的樞紐，同時亦展現其強勁的經濟增長能力。
Under such circumstances Thailand is actively striving to become the hub of GMS while flexing its muscles of economic growth
當香港成立泰國經貿辦後，希望能更集中處理大湄公河次區域的事務，特別是透過泰國經貿辦，進一步加強香港與泰國的經貿關係。
After the ETO in Thailand is in operation I hope that it will concentrate on dealing with the affairs of GMS . It is hoped that through the ETO in Thailand Hong Kong will further strengthen its financial and economic relations with Thailand
關於合約冷靜期的安排，民建聯過去一直希望能夠拓闊有關範圍，要求政府盡快提供跟進時間表。我們希望能透過這種方式，進一步保障消費者的權益。
DAB has always wanted to expand the coverage of the cooling - off period in the contract and requested the Government to expeditiously set a timetable for follow - up actions in the hope that consumers interests can be further protected
關於《商品說明條例》的執法，我有以下建議。
I have the following suggestions as regards the enforcement of the Trade Descriptions Ordinance
四年來，香港海關共提出了超過300宗檢控個案，約28宗被定罪，可以說當局執法及檢控方面的成效相當不俗。
In the past four years the Customs and Excise Department CED has prosecuted 300 cases among which the defendants in 28 cases were convicted
主席，我在此想指出，隨着越來越多人對《條例》有所認識，對《條例》的引用亦越來越廣泛，當局應適時檢討海關的人手編制。
President I would like to point out that as more and more people know about the Ordinance the invocation of the Ordinance will become increasingly extensive
我先說產業與人力的關係，究竟先有雞還是先有雞蛋？
First I will talk about the relationship between production and manpower . Which came first the chicken or the egg?
簡單點，首先我想談論職業教育。
To make things simple I will first discuss vocational training
因為教育局資助學生修讀研究院後，沒有任何政策局協助他們就業，直至創新及科技局最近成立"博士專才庫"，資助科研機構聘請一名博士兩年，每人每月資助3萬元，即是如果僱主支付2萬元，合共便有5萬元，博士便有興趣考慮。
After the Education Bureau has subsidized students in taking post - graduate courses no Policy Bureau has assisted them in finding jobs . Recently the Innovation and Technology Bureau established the Postdoctoral Hub under which scientific research companies would be given a monthly subsidy of 30,000 to employ a doctor for two years . If the company pays 20,000 the doctor will get a total payment of 50,000 and they may be interested and will consider the option
最近有一位人類學碩士畢業生，他從事甚麼工作？
Recently a graduate with a master degree in Anthropology works as a cashier in a bookshop earning 10,000 - plus a month
曾修讀理科和商科的我也明白社會不可沒有人文學科，現時香港一個很大的問題是，這類科目真的越來越少人感興趣。
Is that a waste of talent? . Although I studied science and business courses I understand that a society cannot do without humanities studies . At present a very serious problem has arisen in Hong Kong that is fewer and fewer people are interested in humanities studies
然而，一個欠缺人文學科的社會會沒有歷史意識，政治冷感，沒有人文關懷，亦很可能影響產業的發展。
A society without humanities studies lacks a historical perspective suffers from political apathy and lacks human care; all these may affect the development of industries
例如創意產業，好的電影最重要有好的劇本，誰人飾演也一樣。
For example in the creative industries a good script makes a good movie while a change in the cast is not a big deal
早前放映的"五個小孩的校長"和最近的"打死不離3父女"，同樣是頗有意思的電影，講述人與人的關係，原來一些傳統社會或家長認為重要的事對下一代並非最好。
Both the films Little Big Master and Dangal shown earlier have profound meaning concerning inter - personal relationships . They make us realize that choices considered important by some traditional societies or parents are not necessarily the best for the next generation
政府不搞新的產業也算了，傳統產業中的四大支柱，其中一項是旅遊業，旅遊業有何新突破？
It does not matter that the Government has failed to promote the development of new industries; but what has it done regarding the four traditional pillar industries? . Are there any breakthroughs in tourism which is one of the pillar industries?
上次有新事物是2005年迪士尼樂園來港，興建了一個國際主題公園，之後還有甚麼？
The last new initiative occurred in 2005 when Disneyland came to Hong Kong and built an international theme park here was there any new initiative thereafter?
國家旅遊局訂定了一個目標，就是在2020年，體育旅遊的規模要提升至1萬億元人民幣。
The China National Tourism Administration has set the objective of increasing the consumption on sports tourism to RMB1,000 billion by 2020
最近香港理工大學有學生自製了一輛F1車，其實很多人對這方面也有興趣。
Recently some students of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University have created an F1 car . In fact many people are interested in this area
主席，我要談談人口政策，尤其趁張建宗司長在席，他將主持人力資源規劃委員會。
President I would like to talk about the population policy while Chief Secretary Matthew CHEUNG who is going to chair the Commission for the Planning of Human Resources is present now
十年後，現時佔人口最大比例的人會陸續退休，人口老齡化當然需要有護老的安排，但同一時間亦會有不少職位騰空出來，要由現時二三十歲的人填補。
In the next 10 years the people representing the largest proportion of the population now are gradually retiring . The ageing population naturally needs elderly care services but at the same time many job vacancies will appear waiting to be filled by people now in their twenties and thirties
所以，增加薪酬不是不對，保障本地勞動人口也是應該的，但在低失業率下，實在無法請到足夠勞工，而增加薪酬是否真的可以解決所有問題亦成疑問。
Hence it is not wrong to increase the pay and it is also right to protect the local labourers . However in the face of low unemployment finding sufficient worker to fill all positions is out of the question and it is also doubtful whether all problems can be solved by just raising the pay
至於護老行業，局長說按勞工界建議，先加薪2,000元到3,000元一個月，然後觀望1年，如果無法解決問題，就輸入外勞。
In the case of elderly care service the Secretary says that he will follow the advice of the industry by first raising the pay by 2,000 or 3,000 a month and see what will happen for a year . If that does not solve the problem they will have to import labour
工作環境當然可以改善，只要肯花錢，工作環境必然可得以改善，但問題是，為何護理行業......
The working environment can of course be improved . As long as the owner is willing to spend money the working environment can be improved
再談談青年政策。
Let me talk about the youth policy
糟糕了，博士生也要替小學生補習來幫補收入。
Even doctoral students have to work as tutors of primary pupils to make ends meet
現在該兩位科學家大部分時 間在"撲水"，尋找資金繼續進行研究。
Now the two scientists spend most of their time to seek funding to support their ongoing research
陳百里副局長亦提及有一些產業是可以crossover，即跨界別合作。
Under Secretary Bernard CHAN also mentioned a crossover of certain industries
我重申，政府確實要好好考慮人口政策，因為未來10年香港會有很多職位騰空出來，如何填補這些空缺令香港經濟繼續發展，是一項艱巨工作。
The Government needs to consider the population policy very carefully because many job vacancies will appear in the next 10 years and it is a tremendous task to fill those posts to ensure the continuous development of the Hong Kong economy
如果沒有，我會請4位官員......
If not I will invite four public officers
在2015年，金融業從業員人數為246,700人，但金融業整體佔本地生產總值17.6%。
In 2015 the financial industry with the number of practitioners stood at 246 700 accounted for 17.6 % of GDP
施政報告的重點之一，是香港金融發展局。
The Financial Services Development Council Hong Kong FSDC is a highlight of the Policy Address
我很希望政府在向金發局增撥資源之餘，亦能協調各部門與金發局合作，令其研究報告所提出的建議得以盡快落實。
I do hope that the Government in providing FSDC with additional resources can also coordinate the cooperation between FSDC and different departments so that the recommendations put forward in its research papers can be implemented as early as possible
當然，如果政府向金發局增撥資源，我會要求金發局向立法會問責，每年向立法會進行詳細匯報和接受我們考核其工作表現，以及提交年度預算予立法會批核。
Of course if additional resources are provided I will request that FSDC be held accountable to the Legislative Council . It should provide detailed reports to the Council every year for Members to assess its performance and submit its annual budget to the Council for approval
參考英國及澳洲等地的經驗，我們會發現，當地除了金融機構外，很多中小企及初創企業亦有資格參與沙盒計劃。
However in the United Kingdom and Australia Sandboxes are available not only to financial institutions but also various small and medium - sized enterprises SMEs and start - up companies
我最初也頗有憧憬，想知道無貨幣社會是否一個先進的社會？
At first I had high hopes too . I wanted to know whether a cashless society is a more advanced society
我十分介意的士不接受另類的付款方法。
I do mind taxis not accepting alternative payment methods
施政報告沒有提及一項十分重要的事項，那就是我不斷提醒局方處理的眾籌政策。
The Policy Address has missed out a very important issue ie . the crowdfunding policy that I have kept urging the Bureau to deal with it
不過，很多創投企業、中小微企籌款時，對象不止50人，而是向三四千人認捐。
Nevertheless start - up companies SMEs and micro - enterprises are likely to have 3 000 or 4 000 funders instead of 50
資金的籌集方法包括眾籌和上市。
Fund raising can be done in two ways crowdfunding and listing
另一方面，我想談談3項令人擔憂的事項，這些事項在施政報告中並無提及。
On the other hand I would like to talk about three issues that have aroused concerns but are not covered in the Policy Address
主席，我首先應該恭喜"林鄭"，因為聽說這份施政報告的致謝議案將會獲得通過。
President first of all I should congratulate Carrie LAM because rumour has it that the Motion of Thanks in respect of this Policy Address will be passed
政府很聰明，大家都知道，每次我們討論經濟問題，政府馬上會問"錢從何來？
The Government is very clever . As we all know whenever we discuss economic issues the Government instantly asks us where the money comes from
多年來，政府最離譜或最可耻是一直依賴地產賺取收入。
Over the years the most outrageous or shameful practice of the Government is that it has all along relied on the revenue generated by real estate transactions
這樣政府搞多元經濟有何難，只須炒高樓價，再加上印花稅和補地價，可以說一定不會輸，輸的是所有香港人和年輕人。
As such how difficult it is for the Government to attain a diversified economy? . All it needs to do is to ramp up property prices together with the revenue from stamp duty and land premium it will never lose . The only losers are all Hong Kong people and young people
政府剛說要將整幢工廈轉型為過渡性房屋，樓價便再度攀升，連工廈的售價也在飆升。
As soon as the Government announced the conversion of the whole industrial building for transitional housing property prices surged again and even prices for industrial buildings have been pushed up
"林鄭"很聰明，懂得像"689"般在公布財政預算案之前提出改革稅制，將企業首200萬元的利得稅率減半。
Carrie LAM is very smart . Like 689 she announced the tax reform before the delivery of the Budget by lowering the profits tax rate for the first 2 million of profits of enterprises by 50 %
政府這樣對得起全港市民嗎？
As such what good has the Government done to the people of Hong Kong?
這樣殺人也算"無微不至"。
Is killing people also a kind of meticulous care?
有甚麼值得高興？
What is worth happy about?
有甚麼值得我們致謝？
What has the Government done that deserves our thanks?
大家可以放心，整體經濟最重要是確保有資金進行大買賣，例如過去數年便有多項數千億元的"大白象"基建工程，政府當然要確保落標者得益，很多"中"字輩的公司都在伺機入標。
What matters most to the overall economy is to ensure that there is money for big business . For example in the past few years there are a number of white elephant infrastructure projects involving billions of dollars . The Government will of course make sure that the bidders will benefit and hence many companies with Chinese background have bid for the contracts
當時香港具備軟件技術和人才、資本龐大，但我們卻沒有看準機會。
At that time Hong Kong already had the software technology and talent as well as a huge capital but we fail to seize the opportunity
我記得董先生曾經說過，希望香港能發展成為"矽港"，當時大家都拍爛手掌，但可惜亦有人反對。
I remember Mr TUNG once talked about his hope of developing Hong Kong into a Silicon Port . At the time such an idea got a lot of applauses but there were also people who raised objection
我記得台積電集團曾經計劃在香港生產晶片，但香港一句沒有土地，將他們趕到上海。
I remember when Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited planned to manufacture silicon chips in Hong Kong the project was flatly rejected for reason of lacking land
現在上海的晶片製造業已在世界排名第四。
The company then set up business in Shanghai . Today Shanghais silicon chip manufacturing industry ranks fourth in the world
此外，我還記當局曾經提出一個中藥港計劃。
Besides I still remember the Governments proposal to develop a Chinese medicine port
試想想，假如我們當年能夠抓緊這3個機會，今天香港已是亞洲互聯網中心、晶片製造中心、生物科技研究中心，以及全球最大的中藥輸出港。
Let us imagine had we seized those three opportunities then Hong Kong would have become the Internet centre the silicon chip manufacturing centre and biotechnology research centre of Asia and the biggest exporter of Chinese medicine in the world
我記得阿里巴巴曾希望在香港上市，可惜因為一些條件和制度不合，最終不能在港上市。
I recall that Alibaba once wished to be listed in Hong Kong but unfortunately due to the non - compliance of certain conditions and systems it could not be listed in Hong Kong
結果阿里巴巴在美國上市，這種種失去的機會，的確令人傷心。
So in the end Alibaba was listed in the United States . It is disheartening to see the loss of such opportunities
香港錯過的、香港不要的、深圳全盤接收。
What Hong Kong missed or discarded Shenzhen accepted them all
所以，今天深圳發展得這麼好，他們要感謝的，不單是內地的政策，我相信所有深圳官員內心都會感謝香港沒有發展這些產業，他們全部接收了。
Today the excellent performance of Shenzhen is not only attributed to the Mainland policies but also the fact that Hong Kong had not well developed those industries . Shenzhen has taken over the relevant industries and all Shenzhen officials should thank Hong Kong for that
我覺得政府應該看清楚大灣區最主要的機會是甚麼？
I think the Government should see clearly what major opportunities the Bay Area can offer
香港其實有很多銷售員，主席，我以前也是一名銷售員，走遍大江南北全世界，最擅長把香港貨品賣出去。
There are actually many salespersons in Hong Kong President . I used to be a good salesperson travelling all over China and the world selling Hong Kong products
當時香港是世界其中一個最大的出口港。
Hong Kong used to be the biggest export port
千萬不要當它作地產項目，一定不可以。
The Government must not treat this as a real estate project
我們一定要設法分一杯羹、霸一幅地，真真正正把該處發展為較加州矽谷更大的港深矽谷，這才是實業，才是香港唯一的前途。
Not again . We must get a share of it take up a piece of land and truly develop it into the Hong Kong - Shenzhen Silicon Valley which will be bigger than the Silicon Valley in California . That is real business and it is the only way forward for Hong Kong
大灣區所生產的東西，是我們出口的前途，在此我一定要說清楚。
The products from the Bay Area are the future of Hong Kongs export business . I must make it clear here
此外，還有一件很重要的事，我說了很多年，我今天很高興見到有幾位局長在席。
There is another very important thing . I have been talking about it for years . I am glad to see several Directors of Bureaux present here
這些企業現時十分滿意，因為內地生意很好。
These enterprises are now satisfied as business is now very good
未來市場究竟需要甚麼人才，我們需要培訓甚麼人才？
What kind of talents do we need exactly for the future market and what kind of talents do we need to train?
其實，社會迅速發展，特別是資訊科技發展迅速，上網搜尋資料也相當容易。
With rapid advancement in the society especially in terms of information technology information can be searched and obtained online
這樣，我相信教育制度和人力培訓工作必定會更出色。
With all these in place I am sure we can do much better in advancing the education system and manpower training
主席，行政長官林鄭月娥上任至今轉眼已踏入第五個月，她在10月11日發表其任內第一份施政報告。
President it has been five months since Chief Executive Carrie LAM assumed office and she delivered her first Policy Address on 11 October
林太自上任以來，與其團隊非常落力及投入工作，市民是看得到的；而施政報告發表之後，整體上亦得到社會正面的評價。
Since assuming office Mrs LAM and her team have been working very hard with full devotion to their work . This is well evident to members of the public . The Policy Address has since its delivery received positive comments from the community
根據昨天剛公布的香港大學民意研究計劃的最新民情指數顯示，施政報告在10月發表之後，市民對特首的評分上升了2.4分，至62分。
The latest Public Sentiment Index compiled by the Public Opinion Programme at the University of Hong Kong was released yesterday . The popularity rating of the Chief Executive has increased by 2.4 marks to 62 marks since the delivery of the Policy Address in October
至於市民對政府的管治表現及整體社會狀況的評價，同樣錄得升幅。
As for the satisfaction rate of the performance of the SAR Government and peoples appraisal of societys conditions as a whole higher rating figures have also been recorded
主席，這項民調結果與我落區感受到的民情民意是一致的。
President the result of this opinion poll is consistent with the sentiments and feelings of the people in the districts I have visited
林太上任之後，總體社會氣氛緩和了不少，而市民普遍亦認同林太"很打得"、很勤力的作風。
Since Mrs LAM assumed office the overall social atmosphere has eased a lot and the public generally agree that Mrs LAM is a good fighter and works very diligently
市民更期望林太與其團隊繼續努力，迎難而上，抓緊時間發展經濟，增加土地供應，落實各項民生政策。
The public also hope that Mrs LAM and her team will continue their efforts to rise to challenges and seize the opportunity to develop the economy increase land supply and implement livelihood policies
總體而言，政綱的承諾要履行，而施政報告的措施要盡快落實。
On the whole she has to honour the pledges stated in her Election Manifesto and implement the measures stated in the Policy Address as soon as possible
主席，在林太當選行政長官時，我記得有記者問我對新一屆政府的看法。
President when Mrs LAM was elected Chief Executive I remember that a reporter asked me about my views on the new government
我說，我對林太推動公共政策的能力和解決社會矛盾的決 心，都非常有信心。
I said that I was very confident in Mrs LAMs ability to implement public policies and her determination to resolve social conflicts
林太果然沒有令大家失望。
Surely Mrs LAM has not disappointed us
沒錯，這份施政報告已有不少例子，顯示林太敢於以突破的思維，推動公共政策以處理社會矛盾。
There are quite a number of examples in the Policy Address illustrating Mrs LAMs courage to think outside the box in implementing public policies to resolve social conflicts
其中的例子包括：引入利得稅兩級制、將企業首200萬元的利得稅率降至8.25%、推出出奇地寬鬆的交通費津貼計劃等。
Examples include the introduction of a two - tier profits tax system where the profits tax rate for the first 2 million of profits of enterprises will be lowered to 8.25 % and the introduction of the surprisingly lenient non - means tested Public Transport Fare Subsidy Scheme
這些與以往公共理財原則大不同的政策，最終能夠順利出台，確實體現了特區政府、特首及其團隊的施政新風及理財新概念。
The introduction of these policies which have fundamentally deviated from the former principles of public financial management well demonstrates a new style of governance and a new financial management concept of the SAR Government the Chief Executive and her team
民主建港協進聯盟認為，施政報告展現了"廣納眾議，敢於作為"的施政新風，值得肯定。
The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB opines that the Policy Address demonstrates a new style of governance of accepting public opinions and daring to accomplish which is commendable
施政報告吸納了社會各界一直提出的推動經濟、改善民生的不少建議，並願意為這些建議作出長遠的財政承擔，例如增加教育經常性開支和提供教育新資源、大幅增加對創新科技及研發的投入等。
The Policy Address has incorporated many proposals made by various sectors of the community including DAB on promoting the economy and improving peoples livelihood . The Government is also willing to make long - term financial commitments for these proposals such as increasing recurrent education expenditure and providing new education resources substantially investing in innovation and technology as well as research and development
同時，施政報告亦顯示，特首願意以新思維來解決一些積壓多時的舊問題，例如昂貴的交通費、斷裂的置業階梯特首希望能重建，以及正視人口老化、醫療服務不足等嚴峻問題。
The Policy Address also reveals that the Chief Executive is willing to offer innovative solutions to resolve long - standing old problems such as high transportation expenses a broken housing ladder which the Chief Executive wants to rebuild an ageing population and inadequate health care services . All these problems are serious indeed
此外，施政報告亦很重視青年關注的議題，提出"港人首置上車盤"、青年創業共享空間、增加持續進修基金，以及增加大學宿位等實質措施，藉此回應青年人對"四業"問題的關注。
In addition the Policy Address also attaches great importance to issues that young people are concerned about . It proposes substantive measures such as Starter Homes Space Sharing Scheme for Youth injecting additional funds into the Continuing Education Fund and increasing university hostel facilities so as to meet young peoples concerns in four aspects namely education home acquisition employment and business start - up
此外，針對民生的不同環節，施政報告亦關心社會上一些弱勢社群，提出了不少貼心、"貼地"的建議，例如照顧罕見病患者、支援有特殊學習需要的學童、為鄉郊居民解決寬頻上網問題、開放學校設施，以及為街市安裝冷氣的問題"拆牆鬆綁"。
Concerning different aspects of peoples livelihood the Policy Address is also concerned about the underprivileged in the community and introduces many caring and down - to - earth proposals such as caring for patients with uncommon diseases supporting children with special educational needs resolving broadband access problem of people living in villages and remote locations opening up school facilities and removing obstacles for installing air - conditioning systems in markets
