黃國健議員剛才提到"土地曬太陽"，其實曬得最多的是特區政府的土地。
Mr WONG Kwok - kin just now mentioned the sites that have been left idle under the sun but actually most of the idle land belongs to the SAR Government
政府所說的古洞北/粉嶺北第一期入伙的居民，正正屬於私人住宅發展項目，而旁邊規劃了很多政府的公屋項目。
According to the Government the first population intake of the Kwu Tung NorthFanling North NDAs is precisely attributable to the private residential development . Adjacent to it are the many public housing developments planned by the Government but the site there has remained lush green
房委會預計在2022年收回土地，但房屋預計在2031年才可以落成，提供4,000個單位。
HA expects to resume the land in 2022 but the project will not be completed to provide 4 000 housing units until 2031
我們以往提及香港的速度時往往很自豪，但今天香港的速度已經代表慢、成本貴等，香港已經絕對追不上深圳、國家等的速度。
In the past we used to take pride in the speed of Hong Kong . But today Hong Kong is synonymous with slow and high cost and is definitely lagging behind the pace of Shenzhen and our country
另一方面，政府經常說基建先行，但實際上，看看香港的基建，例如古洞站和北環線，哪個項目的興建和落成不是較預期遲，又或造價高昂。
On the other hand the Government keeps stressing the principle of prioritizing infrastructure development . But in reality looking at the infrastructure works in Hong Kong such as Kwu Tung Station and Northern Link the construction and completion were behind schedule and involved high construction costs
在此希望政府檢視"麵粉"的時候，也一併檢視製造"麵包"的機器。
I hope that when the Government examine the flour it will also examine the machine for making bread as well
黃國健議員，你還有1分35秒答辯。
Mr WONG Kwok - kin you still have 1 minute 35 seconds to reply
主席，土地房屋已成為本港全社會共同關注的大問題。
President land and housing supply has become a major issue of common concern to the community of Hong Kong at large
在社會上及議會內，經常有人提出各種討論和主張。
Be it in the community or the Legislative Council there are often people initiating various discussions and proposals
我今天提出這項議案的重點，第一是全方位開發土地，第二是加快開發的規劃和流程，希望局長可以收到我們的信息。
The focus of my motion today is firstly to increase land supply on all fronts and secondly to expedite the land development and planning procedures . I hope that the Secretary is able to receive our messages
可是，我亦理解局長在其位置上，有時候是有心無力的。
I nonetheless understand that sometimes the Secretary constrained by his position may have the heart to do something but just lacks the power
儘管下屆行政長官選舉在明年三四月才會舉行，但近日坊間、政圈以至各個圈子均已有各式各樣的議論。
Although the next Chief Executive Election will not be held until March or April next year there have been various discussions in the community as well as the political and other circles recently
代理主席，多年來土地房屋短缺的問題，一直是困擾港人的頭號民生大事，亦因為問題盤根錯節，始終是未能解開的深層次矛盾之一。
Deputy President for many years the shortage of land and housing has been the number one livelihood issue that plagued Hong Kong people . Since the problems involved are so intertwined it is also one of the deep - seated conflicts that has remained unsolved
可幸在香港完善選舉制度、確立有助理順行政立法關係及增進政府治理效能的新秩序後，本港可望告別過往的政治泥沼，把精力重新放回發展經濟、改善民生，而政府亦已表明會優先處理土地房屋問題。
Fortunately following an improvement of the electoral system and an establishment of a new order conducive to rationalizing the relationship between the executive and the legislature as well as enhancing the efficiency of governance Hong Kong is expected to bid farewell to the political quagmire of the past and redirect its energy in promoting economic development and improving peoples livelihood . The Government has also indicated that priority will be given to solving the problems of land and housing
今天這項議案，正好提供一個集思廣益的機會。
This motion today provides an opportunity for us to put our heads together
自回歸以來，多屆政府也竭盡心思致力解決這問題，如議案所指，是全方位覓地。
Since the return of sovereignty the previous terms of the Government have made every effort to solve these problems . As pointed out in the motion efforts have been made to identify land on all fronts
就現屆政府來說，它尋求增加土地供應的短、中、長期方法，包括議案有提到和沒有提到的，有些亦已經取得一定成績，問題是相比於需求，覓地始終不夠多、不夠快。
As far as the current - term Government is concerned it has been seeking short - medium - and long - term ways to increase land supply including those mentioned or not mentioned in the motion and some of them have achieved certain results . The problem is that compared with demand the amount of land identified is still inadequate and the process is too slow
議案提到政府兩年前宣布會積極引用《收回土地條例》收回合適土地發展公營房屋，但至今仍只鎖定收回1.2公頃土地，估計只可提供1,600伙，待完成相關程序真正收地，或許仍要多等兩年。
The motion mentioned that the Government announced two years ago that it would proactively invoke the Land Resumption Ordinance to resume suitable land for public rental housing PRH development but so far it has only identified 1.2 hectares of land to be resumed which is estimated to provide only 1 600 units . Since land resumption will actually take effect upon completion of the relevant procedures there may be a wait of two more years
又例如發展棕地的方案，根據公布，當局按照初步研究至今鎖定8組棕地，大約可提供2萬個公屋單位，但預期建成要在10年後。
Another example is the proposal of brownfield development . According to the announcement the authorities have identified eight groups of brownfields providing about 20 000 PRH units on the basis of its preliminary studies but it is expected to be completed only 10 years later
毋庸諱言，許多短、中期的選項均要兼顧很多問題，但政府是否還有空間可以加快、加大供應？
Undeniably there are many considerations before adopting the various short - and medium - term options but is there still room for the Government to speed up the process and increase the supply?
例如減省官僚程序、加快審批程序、加快做好配套的工作，或加大建屋的地積比等。
For example can it cut the red tape expedite vetting and approval procedures speed up the development of supporting facilities and increase the development plot ratio?
政府亦有新思維提出大氣魄的計劃，便是足以提供高達26萬個房屋單位、創造逾20萬個職位，包括新核心商業區、橫跨二三十年的"明日大嶼願景"填海造地計劃。
The Government has also adopted a new mindset and put forward an ambitious plan namely the Lantau Tomorrow Vision reclamation project for land creation spanning a period of 20 to 30 years which will provide up to 260 000 housing units more than 200 000 jobs and a new core business district
議案亦特別提出促請當局盡快推展工程。
The motion has specifically urged the authorities to expeditiously take forward this project
至於現時社會再次掀起討論的、具有相當土地供應潛力的、本議案亦有提到的發展生態價值較低的郊野公園邊陲用地的建議，當局基於過往社會支持度不足，表示會在完成原訂的優先供應土地的選項 後，才或許再展開研究。
The proposal of developing sites with relatively low ecological value on the periphery of country parks which is recently discussed in society again and is also mentioned in this motion has considerable potential for increasing land supply . Since the proposal lacked support in society in the past the authorities indicated that they would commence further studies on it only after completion of their work on the priority options to increase land supply as originally planned
雖然這項建議的確較具爭議性，但我認為面對數以十萬計基層市民在新冠疫情下縱使失業或開工不足，仍然要捱貴租、居於"劏房"等惡劣居住環境、"上樓"遙遙無期的苦況，是否可以讓社會各界在獲得充足的資訊下，理性再審視這建議？
This proposal is indeed controversial but considering the predicament of hundreds of thousands of grass - roots people who have become unemployed or underemployed under the novel coronavirus epidemic but still have to pay high rent live in harsh living conditions such as subdivided units and do not have the slightest idea when they can be allocated a PRH unit can the authorities facilitate people from all walks of life to rationally reconsider this proposal with sufficient information?
當局是否可以盡快提出具體方案，包括在佔香港四成總面積的郊野公園撥出多少適切的用地、可供應多少公營房屋、對本港生態的影響等，來讓大家為社會的整體利益作出選擇呢？
Can the authorities expeditiously put forward specific options with details including how much suitable land will be allocated from country parks which account for 40 % of Hong Kongs total area how much PRH units can be provided and the impact on Hong Kongs ecology so that we can make informed choices in the overall interests of society?
代理主席，我認為議案有許多建議值得政府參考，但時間所限，以上只能略略談及數項重點。
Deputy President I think there are many suggestions in the motion that are worthy of the Governments consideration but due to time constraints I can only briefly touch on a few key points
最後，我必須指出土地發展要面對很多問題，而最大的始終是政治勇氣和政治決心的問題。
Finally I must point out that many problems will be encountered in land development and the biggest lies in political courage and determination
代理主席，我發言支持這項議案。
Deputy President I speak in support of this motion
事實上，面對龐大的住屋需求，我相信政府對開發土地是責無旁貸的。
In fact I believe given the enormous housing demand the Government has a bounden duty to develop land
當然，我知道政府各個部門都非常努力，正如剛才說過，局長也忙得頭髮發白。
I certainly know that the various government departments have been working very hard . As mentioned just now the Secretary is so busy that his hair has turned white
開發土地的速度，真的是緩慢得可憐。
Land is being developed at a pathetically slow pace
面對着繁文縟節及繁瑣的流程，有些部門甚至刻意收起相關文件，待很多年後才慢慢處理，這些官僚做法的確令人氣憤。
Besides red tape and cumbersome procedures some departments even deliberately sat on the files and worked on them only after many years . Such bureaucracy is really frustrating
我相信我們氣憤，市民更加氣憤。
I believe while we feel frustrated members of the public are even more frustrated
莫說發展其他土地，一些已指明要發展的土地，直至今天仍然無影無蹤。
Leaving aside the development of other land some land lots which have been designated for development still remain idle even to this day
政府可否加快處理，急市民所急？
Can the Government expedite its work to address peoples pressing needs?
"砥礪前 行"就是要有革命的精神處理眾多問題，如果沒有革命或改革的精神，只是繼續依循繁文縟節、繁瑣的流程處理，根本無法解決有關發展的問題。
Striving ahead means adopting a revolutionary mindset to deal with a myriad of issues . If the Government refuses to adopt a revolutionary spirit but sticks to the red tape and cumbersome procedures it will be utterly impossible to address the development issues
開發新的土地當然困難。
Developing new land is certainly a difficult task
不是，而是因為他們到處也看到很多荒地，當然，政府會說有些荒地不屬於它，但有些荒地的確是屬於政府的。
No but because they can see a lot of unused land everywhere . Of course the Government would say that some of these land lots do not belong to it but some of them do belong to it
這些情況比比皆是，莫說開發土地、開發房屋。
Such cases are very common and are also found in land and housing development
我相信時間可以解決問題，但時間亦導致很多市民對政府施政很有意見。
While I believe time is the solution to problems time has also attracted many strong views about the Governments administration
我們作為議員，尤其是我是直選議員，在前線面對問題時經常感到困惑、大惑不解。
As Members especially those returned by direct elections like me we always feel puzzled and perplexed when facing these issues in the front line
代理主席，我發言支持由黃國健議員提出的"全方位增加土地供應"議案。
Deputy President I speak in support of Mr WONG Kwok - kins motion on Increasing land supply on all fronts
土地供應不足、房屋不足，對香港人來說實在是切膚之痛，甚至令年輕人不想再努力。
Insufficient land supply and inadequate housing supply have caused tremendous pain to Hong Kong people
由"佛系青年"直至"躺平主義"，歸根究底，都是土地、房屋供應不足所致。
They have even discouraged young people from making more efforts turning their attitude from Buddhist - style to Lying flat - ism . These are all attributable to an inadequate supply of land and housing
香港現在的情況好像一個危殆的病人，要送入急症室搶救，而在座議員和官員都是希望解決這個問題的醫生。
The present situation of Hong Kong can be likened to a critical patient who must be admitted to the Accident and Emergency Department for resuscitation and the Members and government officials present are the doctors who are eager to resolve this problem
有一個診治方法稱為"獨步單方"，但通常都是不可行的，還是要綜合治理、多管齊下，才能把病醫好。
Although there is a treatment method called cure - all formula it is usually ineffective . It requires a consolidated treatment and multi - pronged approach to cure the patient
可是，說得容易，要做便困難重重，而且當中涉及資源發展、利益分配等問題，少不免會受到種種阻撓。
However it is always easy to talk than to do as there are bound to be many difficulties . What is more it may involve problems such as resource development and interest distribution which will inevitably create many obstacles
上一屆行政長官提出開發郊野公園邊陲地帶內一些沒有太多生態價值的土地，用作興建公營房屋、政府用途等設施。
The last Chief Executive proposed developing sites with relatively low ecological value on the periphery of country parks for the construction of public housing facilities for government uses and so on
有些人，特別是反對派、"攬炒派"，很喜歡不停提出"高大上"的概念，不停"洗腦"式地說甚麼"先棕後綠"，似乎想給市民一個虛假的期望，當棕地用盡後，香港人便有足夠的土地和足夠的地方居住，所有問題便可以解決。
Some people especially those from the opposition camp and the mutual destruction camp like bringing up high - end and groovy concepts incessantly and reiterating brown before green in a brainwashing manner . This seems to have given a false expectation that after all the brownfield sites are used up Hong Kong people will have adequate land and place for living and all the problems can then be resolved
首先，我再次談談"先棕後綠"的概念。
First I will talk about the concept of brown before green again
這是一個偽命題，為何這樣說呢？
This is a false proposition . Why do I say so?
新界大概有1,300公頃的棕地，例如位於洪水橋、新界東北發展等的棕地。
There are around 1 300 hectares of brownfield sites in the New Territories such as those located in Hung Shui Kiu and North East New Territories
其實，政府已經很進取，動用了當中的540公頃，這些都是發展潛力較好的棕地。
In fact the Government has been very aggressive as 540 hectares of brownfield sites with greater development potential have been used
至於餘下763公頃的棕地，在發展上有很多困難，包括非常零碎及地處較偏遠的地方。
As for the remaining 763 hectares there will be a lot of difficulties if they are used for development including the scattered and remote location
現時亦有一些作業需用棕地，棕地不能變"零"，例如是物流支援、倉儲、工業支援、維修、 環保工業和回收工業等都需要棕地。
Brownfield sites are currently required for some undertakings and cannot be removed completely . Logistics support storage industrial support maintenance environmental industries and recycling industries need brownfield sites
棕地不應是一個很負面的詞語，在規管下同樣可以從棕地中創造大量經濟活動，所以不能單靠棕地。
Hence brownfield sites should not be a very negative term . With regulation they can also generate a lot of economic activities . Thus brownfield sites cannot be relied on alone to resolve land shortage
另一個問題是，如果單靠棕地，那麼擁有棕地的人或目前有土地儲備的人便會很開心，因為他們的地可以"皇帝女唔憂嫁"，待價而沽、拖慢發展進度。
Another problem is If we rely solely on brownfield sites then people owning brownfield sites or having land reserve will be very happy because their land will be well sought after . They may hoard up their land for more favourable prices which will delay the progress of development
待政府懇求他們參與發展時，他們才"擠牙膏"式慢慢發展，這樣會助長地產霸權。
When the Government earnestly requests them to participate in the development they will provide the site slowly like squeezing toothpaste from a tube . This will end up encouraging property hegemony
歸根究底，香港現在土地供應的確不足，特別是新增的土地供應不足，導致現時擁有土地的人沒有很急切的動機發展他們的土地，於是讓土地"曬太陽"，實在是非常浪費。
After all there is currently insufficient supply of land in Hong Kong especially the supply of new sites which has deterred the owners of brownfield sites from hastily developing their land . As a result these sites will be left lying idle under the sun which is very wasteful indeed
我認為，這正是市民對政府早前提出的土地共享先導計劃反應冷淡的主要原因。
To me this is precisely the major reason why the Land Sharing Pilot Scheme previously proposed by the Government had received lukewarm public response
現在，要治療香港土地供應不足的病，的確要多管齊下，甚麼方法都要嘗試，包括利用部分郊野公園內一些沒有生態價值的地方。
To cure the illness of shortage of land supply in Hong Kong a multi - pronged approach must be adopted by employing all possible methods including making use of some sites with no ecological value in country parks
一方面，住在區內的人很慘，沒有公共交通工具，十分擠塞；另一方面，亦不能夠在加強交通配套下調高發展密度，令土地真正地盡其用。
On the one hand the people residing in the districts are very miserable because there is no public transport and the traffic there is very congested; on the other hand the development density cannot be raised under the enhanced ancillary transport facilities to genuinely optimize land use
土地的發展需要各方面的努力，而且要有開拓精神，解決多方面的問題，不能裹足不前。
While land development requires the concerted efforts of various parties the multi - faceted problems must be resolved with pioneering spirit and we cannot hesitate to move forward
我很希望發展局和運輸及房屋局，以及各個相關部門真的拿出決心和魄力，為市民解決土地和房屋不足的問題。
I very much hope that the Development Bureau the Transport and Housing Bureau as well as the relevant departments will demonstrate their determination and courage in resolving the problem of shortage of land and housing supply for members of the public
因此，最重要的是開闊自己的腦袋和空間。
Therefore the most important thing is to broaden our mind and horizon
對於所有其他建議，我全部都不反對，我亦一直支持好像"一品鍋"一樣共冶一爐。
I have no objection to all other proposals as I have always supported the merging of diversified ideas just like a hotpot with assorted ingredients
我現在請何君堯議員動議修正案。
I now call upon Dr Junius HO to move an amendment
代理主席，首先多謝黃國健議員提出這項議案，讓我們可以討論土地問題。
Deputy President first of all I would like to thank Mr WONG Kwok - kin for proposing this motion so that we can discuss the land issue
然而，按照我的個人理解，"深層次矛盾"不限於造地方面。
Yet I personally think that deep - seated conflicts are not confined to land creation
我們固然明白土地的重要性，但如果政府每次都用大義壓人，毫不理會持份者的權益、生計或生活開心與否，這做法同樣有欠妥善。
We certainly understand the importance of land but it is not right for the Government to bulldoze stakeholders into submission with righteous causes all the time without showing any concern about their rights means of living or feelings
我會列舉一個例子，但我想先行申明立場。
I am going to give an example but before that I have to first declare my stance
政府可否提出政策，以解決他們的生計問題？
Can it introduce policies to solve the livelihood problems of offshore operators?
代理主席，我首先申報，我是香港哥爾夫球會的會員。
Deputy President before I start I would like to declare that I am a member of the Hong Kong Golf Club
代理主席，土地短缺已經十數年，政府多年來研究又研究，土地依然短缺。
Deputy President land shortage has haunted Hong Kong for more than a decade . Yet this problem continues to exist after the Government conducted repeated studies over the past years
市民的感受更深，因為"越住越細、越住越貴"，社區民生設備不足，工商業空間亦短缺。
Members of the public are much aggrieved as their homes are getting tinier and pricier . Not only is there a lack of community and livelihood facilities there is also insufficient commercial and industrial space
特首提出"明日大嶼"，很有氣魄，能夠放眼未來，一次過增加土地供應。
Lantau Tomorrow is an ambitious and visionary plan proposed by the Chief Executive to increase land supply in one go
經民聯曾經進行詳細研究，廣泛諮詢各界專業人士及市民，並提出了一系列建議，我相信能為社會帶來效益。
BPA has conducted a detailed study to extensively consult a variety of professionals and members of the public and put forward a series of proposals . I trust that they can bring benefits to the community
土地規劃必須專業和理性，但諮詢期間經常有人以偏頗的說法操縱民意，有些團體則提交數百份意見書，一面倒支持或反對某些選項，政府隨後卻把這些諮詢結果當作至高無上。
Land planning requires professionalism and rationalism . However during the consultation some people manipulated public sentiment with biased arguments . There were also certain groups sending hundreds of submissions to express overwhelming support or opposition for particular options
代理主席，社會各界一直就增加土地供應提供很多意見，包括"上天下地"的建議，例如放寬高度限制及地積比率、發展地下空間，甚或把設施遷入岩洞。
Deputy President regarding how to increase land supply there have long been diverse views and all - inclusive proposals in the community including relaxing the height restriction and plot ratio developing underground space and relocating facilities to caverns
十年過去，我們覺得最大的難題在於政府落實政策的態度和決心。
Now that 10 years have passed we find that the biggest problem lies in the Governments attitude and determination in implementing policies
如果官員墨守成規，事事都說辦不到，即使有再好的建議，政府也只會聽過便算。
If government officials remain closed - minded and say no to everything the Government will end up ignoring all suggestions no matter how good they are
經民聯多年來一直建議大規模原址重建舊公屋，此舉相信可在10多年後讓輪候公屋的市民人人"上樓"，但前提是要先行物色一些新公屋安置受影響的原有居民。
Year after year BPA has suggested a large - scale in - situ redevelopment of old public rental housing PRH estates in the belief that 10 - odd years later all applicants will be allocated PRH units . The first step is however to identify new PRH units to rehouse the PRH tenants affected by the redevelopment
政府寧願見縫插針，找來"三尖八角"的政府土地，用高昂的成本興建單幢公屋，亦不肯大規模重建，以發揮土地的最大效益。
The Government would rather construct single - block PRH buildings at a high cost on its small or irregular sites than conducting large - scale redevelopment to make the best use of land
如果政府的思維不跳出框框，我們這麼多人出謀獻策，也只會像對牛彈琴。
If the Government does not think outside the box the many of us giving advice are tantamount to talking to the wall
香港用作住宅用途的土地不足全港土地的7%，已發展的土地亦僅佔全港土地的四分之一，所以我們應該更宏觀地放眼全港所有土地，思考如何善用每幅土地，而不應單單針對一幅半幅與奧林匹克比賽項目有關的用地。
Considering that residential sites take up less than 7 % of land in Hong Kong and developed land accounts for only a quarter of the total area of Hong Kong we should adopt a more macro perspective in thinking how every piece of land in Hong Kong can be utilized . It is wrong to focus on a single site used for an Olympic sport ie . golf
香港口說支持發展運動，行動上卻是另一回事。
Hong Kong fails to walk its talk on supporting sports development
我們應該思考如何善用每幅土地，令香港成為更宜居的國際城市，經濟民生皆能兼顧。
We should consider how to utilize each and every piece of land so as to make Hong Kong a more livable international city where peoples livelihood can improve as the economy develops
此外，政府的效率亦有待改善。
In addition the Government should also enhance its efficiency
以青年宿舍計劃為例，早在2011年已經提出，但竟然到了2021年才第一期入伙。
For example the Youth Hostel Scheme was first proposed in 2011 but its first batch of units has not been occupied until 2021
當年的青年到了今天，已經"仔大女大"。
The youths back then have become grown - ups already
代理主席，處理土地資源會面對很多困難，但香港的發展及民生所需，處處都與土地運用有關。
Deputy President the handling of land resources is never easy . Yet land use is intertwined with every aspect of Hong Kongs development and peoples livelihood
政府施政要以人民為本，並要明白"冇屋住"的人不想聽政府解釋有何程序及規矩，他們只想知道何時"有屋住"。
While the Government should be people - oriented in its administration it should also understand that those who cannot afford to purchase properties are not interested in any explanation about rules and procedures . All they want to know is when they can have their own homes
我希望政府能有勇氣大刀闊斧地增加土地供應，為香港的發展勇於突破。
I hope that the Government will have the courage to boldly increase land supply and make a breakthrough for Hong Kongs development
主席，就我今天提出的議案，相信同事必定會從不同切入點，提出很多真知灼見。
President I believe Members will definitely put forward many insightful views on the motion proposed by me today from different entry points
我認為新冠疫情持續一年半，目前香港最需要的是重建社會信心，讓境內、境外都同意，香港是達到群體免疫水平的安全城市。
Given that the novel coronavirus epidemic has already lasted for one and a half years I think what Hong Kong needs most now is to rebuild public confidence and obtain an acknowledgement from within and outside Hong Kong that we are a safe city which has achieved herd immunity
為了達成這個目標，大規模接種疫苗、盡快提升疫苗接種率實在刻不容緩。
To achieve this goal there is a pressing need to achieve large scale vaccination and increase the vaccination rates as soon as possible
為了讓香港回復正常、重啟經濟，我們必須取得這張入場券。
We must obtain this ticket to allow Hong Kong to resume normal operation and restart the economy
抗疫是一場持久戰。
The fight against the epidemic is a protracted battle
雖然我們沒有水晶球預測疫情何時完結，但前車可鑒。
Although we do not have a crystal ball to predict when the epidemic will end we can learn from past lessons
台灣應對疫情，守了一年仍告"淪陷"，這反映出一旦有漏網之魚，疫情便會一發不可收拾。
Taiwan has guarded against the epidemic for a year but still cannot prevent another outbreak . This shows that once a fish slips through the net the epidemic will get out of control
有人質疑，當地疫情大爆發與官員過分自以為是，無視變種病毒的毒性及傳播力更強有關。
Some people suspected that the epidemic outbreak in Taiwan was attributable to the arrogance of the officials and their ignorance of the increased virulence and higher transmissibility of the mutant strain
病毒無眼，香港至今已應對4波疫情，至於第五波疫情會否來臨，這視乎我們應對變種病毒有否做足本分。
The virus will not select its targets . Hong Kong has gone through four waves of the epidemic so far . The fifth wave will come or not depends on whether we have done enough to deal with the mutant strain
為了"防患於未然"，特首早前展開"全城起動 快打疫苗"運動。
As a precautionary measure the Chief Executive has launched the Early Vaccination for All campaign a while ago
目前，"打好疫苗戰"是頭等大事，而未來3個月的成敗，將會直接影響香港重啟經濟的速度。
At present fighting the vaccine war is of the top priority and whether we win or lose in the next three months will directly affect the speed at which Hong Kong can restart the economy
香港的疫苗接種計劃已展開超過100天，但全港16歲或以上人士的疫苗接種率卻只有兩成多，遠低於內地及歐美等經濟體系。
The vaccination programme in Hong Kong has been implemented for more than 100 days but the vaccination rate for people aged 16 or above in Hong Kong is only over 20 % which is much lower than other economies such as the Mainland Europe and the United States
有一個問題值得我們深思：既然香港有足夠疫苗供應，為何會"有針無人打"？
A question worthy of our consideration is Why do some people refuse to get vaccinated despite the adequate supply of vaccines in Hong Kong?
我認為當中涉及很多因素，其中一個是政府在上一階段解說不足，導致很多負面、不正確的信息出現，令不少市民選擇觀望一段時間再作決定。
I think that there are many factors and among them is the lack of explanation by the Government in the previous stage which has given rise to a lot of negative and incorrect information . Thus many people have chosen to wait and see before making a decision
