接下來，我想從鄉郊角度談談這份預算案。
They should not gamble with peoples interests to gain political mileage . Next I wish to talk about this Budget from the perspective of rural areas
可能政府忙於抗疫，預算案對鄉郊發展的投入並不多，只是延續過去一直推行的改善碼頭計劃、提升偏遠鄉郊地區光纖網絡覆蓋的項目。
As the Government may be heavily engaged in fighting the epidemic the Budget has devoted little resources in rural development . The Government simply extends the Pier Improvement Programme and the project to enhance the coverage of optical fibre networks in remote rural areas which have been implemented over the years
說了這麼多年，仍然停留在供水、通電、建路、鋪光纖的階段，對鄉郊的可持續發展欠缺一些創新思維，可謂毫無新意。
After years of discussion the development of rural areas is still at the stage of water supply power connection road construction and connection of optical fibres . There are no innovative new ideas on the sustainable development of the rural areas
有村民告訴我，光纖計劃只是資助固網商鋪設光纖至村口附近，部分鄉村依山而建，村民要支付高昂的安裝費用，才能將光纖拉入鄉村和屋內，未能負擔費用的村民便享用不到高速上網。
Some villagers have told me that the scheme on optical fibres only provide subsidy to fixed network operators to lay optical fibres to the vicinity of the entrances of the villages . As some villages are built on hillside villagers have to pay high installation fees to have the optical fibres laid to their villages and homes . Villagers who cannot afford the fees cannot enjoy high - speed Internet connection
希望政府可以增撥資源，資助固網商將光纖鋪到村內及屋內。
It is hoped that the Government can provide more funding to subsidize fixed network operators to lay optical fibres to villages and homes
主席，鄉議局在今年1月向財政司司長建議，發展新界鄉郊旅遊區，以振興當區的經濟，做到真正活化社區。
President in January this year the Heung Yee Kuk proposed to the Financial Secretary to develop the rural New Territories into tourist areas to boost the local economy and genuinely activate the community
今次疫情導致世界各國封關，打亂了市民的外遊計劃，不少市民趁機會郊遊，這正正是推動本地遊的契機。
The epidemic has caused a lockdown of countries around the world disrupting the outbound travel plans of the public . As many members of the public have taken this opportunity to visit the countryside it is a good opportunity to promote local tours
香港旅遊發展局曾經在2018年推出"綠色深度遊"先導計劃，支援旅遊業開發5個綠色的旅遊產品，涉資只有450萬元。
In 2018 the Hong Kong Tourism Board launched the Pilot Scheme to Promote In - depth Green Tourism to support the tourist industry in developing five green tourism products with an expenditure of 4.5 million only
該處擁有豐富的地質景觀，政府只要拆牆鬆綁，沙頭角絕對可以發展為一個極具吸引力及新鮮感的綠色旅遊產品，讓市民在假日有多一個好去處，旅客亦有多一個選擇。
If the Government removes barriers Sha Tau Kok can surely be developed into a green tourism product of great attraction and novelty providing the public with one more good place to visit during their holidays and offering tourists one more option
鄉議局一直倡議政府撥款50億元設立鄉郊建設基金，為鄉郊基礎建設、推廣旅遊、承傳文化、自然保育，以及支援特別事故這五大範疇提供撥款，希望政府在疫情過後對此多加考慮。
The Heung Yee Kuk has all along advised the Government to allocate 5 billion to set up a rural development fund to provide funding for five major areas such as rural infrastructure development tourism promotion cultural inheritance nature conservation and assistance in special incidents . It is hoped that the Government will give more thought to this proposal after the epidemic
今年預算案的封面選用了象徵土地的顏色，我也藉此機會談論香港的長遠土地規劃。
A colour symbolizing earth has been selected for the cover of this years Budget . I also wish to take this opportunity to talk about the long - term land use planning in Hong Kong
主席，我申報，我是龍鼓灘村的原居民代表，亦在龍鼓灘擁有土地。
President I declare that I am the representative of the indigenous inhabitants of Lung Kwu Tan Village and I have lands in Lung Kwu Tan
最近，有傳媒報道，政府有意將龍鼓灘的填海工程研究撥款，直接交到財務委員會審議，在本屆會期內通過。
It has recently been reported by the media that the Government intends to directly submit the funding proposal for the engineering study for Lung Kwu Tan reclamation to the Finance Committee for scrutiny in order to have it passed in this current session
面對土地供應不足，民間對"明日大嶼"計劃的意見分歧，有人說政府認為龍鼓灘的填海工程阻力較少，故希望在今屆會期通過，以便在土地供應方面，做出少許成績。
On the issue of shortage of land supply people have expressed divided views on the Lantau Tomorrow plan . There is a saying that the Government thinking that the resistance against the Lung Kwu Tan reclamation project is smaller wishes to have the relevant funding proposal passed in the current session so as to achieve something in land supply
在此，我想政府弄清楚，龍鼓灘村民的立場很清 晰，由一開始都是反對填海。
Here I hope the Government will understand that villagers of Lung Kwu Tan have clearly stated their opposition against the reclamation from the outset
龍鼓灘海邊的沙並不像預算案的封面般是充滿生機的泥色，而是天然的灰黑色。
The colour of the sand in Lung Kwu Tan beach is not vibrant earthy as the cover of the Budget but natural greyish black
我在立法會多次表示，自從屯門新市鎮發展後，很多厭惡性設施都設在龍鼓灘村附近，龍鼓灘路每天都有重型車輛及垃圾車出入，令該處沙塵滾滾，噪音及空氣污染問題，已經滋擾了村民很多年。
I have said repeatedly in the Legislative Council that many obnoxious facilities have been built in the vicinity of Lung Kwu Tan Village since the development of Tuen Mun New Town . Every day heavy vehicles and refuse collection vehicles pass by Lung Kwu Tan Road making the place dusty . The noise and air pollution problems have caused nuisance to the villagers for years
然而，政府早年答應村民興建一條隧道，在屯門藍地康寶路作出入口，但遲遲未有兌現。
In the early years the Government promised the villagers to construct a tunnel with the entrance and exit at Hong Po Road Lam Tei Tuen Mun . However the Government has yet to honour its undertaking
本來村民已經對政府的處理手法非常不滿，如今更將填海計劃直上財委會，這消息令他們更加感到悲憤。
The villagers were already very dissatisfied with the handling of the Government and the news that the funding proposal for the reclamation project will be submitted to the Finance Committee directly has further infuriated them
我呼籲政府不要走捷徑，必須面對及處理村民的訴求，承諾改善村民的生活質素，包括增設道路、改善噪音及空氣污染、海水倒灌及渠道淤塞的問題。
I call on the Government not to take the short cut . Instead it must face and address the villagers demands and undertake to improve their quality of life which include constructing more roads and improving the problems of noise and air pollution saltwater intrusion and sewer blockage . Finally I wish to talk about the health care policy and measures that everyone is concerned about
最後，我想談談大家都關心的醫療政策及措施，香港的人口老化問題嚴重，政府推出自願醫保計劃，可以將部分人分流到私營的醫療服務，長遠可以減輕政府在醫療福利的開支，計劃的反應非常理想，實施半年，已經有30萬名市民投保，當中大約有一半受保人是40歲以下。
As the problem of population ageing in Hong Kong is serious the Government has introduced the Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme . Under this Scheme some people can be diverted to private health care services thereby reducing the Governments expenditure on health care benefits in the long run . The Scheme has been favourably received
除了以保險對沖公共的醫療開支，利用科技來減輕公共醫療及人手資源負擔，亦是全球趨勢。
Apart from offsetting public health care expenditures with insurance it is also a global trend to use technology to relieve the burden on public health care and manpower resources
最近，有調查發現，如果有智能產品可以做到健康評估、監察健康，並提出警示，超過八成受訪者表示非常有興趣使用這些產品。
Recently some surveys have found that more than 80 % of the respondents have expressed great interest in using intelligent products if they can make health assessment monitor health conditions and provide alerts
主席，首先，我對姚松炎議員這項議案的字眼有少許意見。
President first I would like to express some views on the wording of Dr YIU Chung - yims motion
議案指"確保行政長官選舉公正進行"，但除了公正，我們的選舉一直都在公開、公平、公正和誠實的情況下進行。
The motion is titled Ensuring the fair conduct of the Chief Executive Election but apart from being fair our elections have all along been conducted in an open equitable fair and honest manner
今天早上，我的副局長已經就議案在開場發言詳述幾日之後舉行的行政長官選舉的各項原則和具體安排。
This morning my Under Secretary already gave a detailed account of the principles and specific arrangements concerning the Chief Executive Election which will take place a few days later on 26 March
首先，我要再指出，選舉是由選舉管理委員會依法舉行。
First I have to reiterate that elections are conducted by the Electoral Affairs Commission EAC in accordance with law
這個安排是確保選舉管理委員會在依法進行選舉時，能夠在公開、公平、公正和誠實的原則下進行。
This arrangement is to ensure that elections held by EAC under the law are conducted in accordance with the principles of openness equity fairness and honesty
除了選舉管理委員會之外，每一場選舉包括即將舉行的行政長官選舉亦會設立選舉主任。
Apart from EAC there is a Returning Officer RO in every election including the upcoming Chief Executive Election
選舉主任的法定權力和責任亦已在選舉法例中列出，包括：在今次選舉來說，負責接收和依法作出提名是否有效的決定、在選舉當日確保選舉程序依法進行，並且監察整個投票和點票過程，亦負責決定選舉是否已經依法舉行、相關的當選人是否妥為依法選出等。
The statutory power and duty of RO are already provided in the electoral laws which include in the case of the Chief Executive Election to receive nominations and decide if the nominations are valid in accordance with law; on the election day to ensure the election is carried out in accordance with law to oversee the entire polling and counting process and also to determine whether the election has been conducted in accordance with law and the relevant person elected has been properly elected in accordance with law
由於權力和責任是這樣重要，所以在法例上，行政長官選舉要求高等法院法官出任選舉主任，今次更有高等法院上訴法庭的法官出任選舉主任。
Since the power and duty of RO are so important it is required by law that the post of RO of the Chief Executive Election shall be filled by a High Court judge . In the upcoming Election a judge of the Court of Appeal of the High Court will assume the post of RO
另外，我們有數百位選舉事務處的同事，負責支援選舉管理委員會舉行今次選舉。
Furthermore a few hundred staff from the Registration and Electoral Office REO will assist in the conduct of the upcoming Election by EAC
主席，我們的準備工作已經密鑼緊鼓地進行。
President the preparation work is already in full swing
為確保行政長官選舉能夠依法和順利舉行，我特別要求選舉事務處的同事加強兩方面的措施，一個是保密的措施，另一個是保安的措施。
To ensure that the Chief Executive Election will be smoothly conducted in accordance with law we have especially requested the REO staff to step up measures in two respects namely confidentiality and security
就保密的措施，我的副局長今早已經在此向大家交代，我在3個星期前亦已在本會向大家具體交代。
My Under Secretary already told Members about the confidentiality measures this morning and I also told Members about the specific details in this Council three weeks ago
保密措施的目的最主要是確保選舉委員會委員包括在座各位議員到了投票站，在投票間用印章蓋下自己的選擇時，可以在充分保密的情況下，行使個人的自由意志作出選擇和投票。
The aim of the confidentiality measures is mainly to ensure that members of the Election Committee EC including Members present here will be able to exercise their own free will to choose and vote for the candidates of their choice in complete confidence when they stamp for the candidate whom they choose in the voting compartment of the polling station
在那一刻，選委純粹向歷史、向自己負責。
At that very moment EC members are purely accountable to history and to themselves
換言之，這個保密安排是使選舉的公開、公平、公正和誠實這數項原則得以確保。
In other words the confidentiality arrangement is provided to ensure that all elections will be conducted in accordance with the principles of openness equity fairness and honesty
任何人如果對選委作出威迫和利誘，他們可以投訴。當證據俱在，執法機關和司法機構一定會依法追究。
EC members can lodge a complaint if anyone attempts to coerce or induce them and if the complaint is substantiated law enforcement agencies and the Judiciary will definitely take appropriate actions in accordance with law
主席，在保安方面，為確保選舉順利舉行，我們在票站內外都會實行一系列保安措施。
President in respect of security to ensure the smooth conduct of elections we will take a series of security measures inside and outside the polling station
現在世界不是很太平，大家有看新聞的話，都會看到昨晚在英國倫敦發生了恐怖襲擊的事件，所以我們在保安措施方面，警方的目標是確保選委可以出入平安，亦要確保票站內秩序井然，選舉依法舉行。
Our world is not particularly peaceful today . If Members have watched the news they may have learned about the terrorist attack in London of the United Kingdom last night . Hence as regards security measures the Polices aim is to ensure the safety of all EC members as they enter and exit the polling station and maintain order in the polling station so that the Election will be conducted in accordance with law
在場內如果有任何人蓄意或有任何行為干擾其他選委投票、干擾選票或干擾投票箱，警方會果斷執法，不會姑息。
If anyone including EC members deliberately attempt to interfere in the voting of other EC members or tamper with the ballot papers or ballot boxes in the polling station the Police will take resolute enforcement actions . Such behaviour will not be condoned
我們在場外有交通管制安排，亦會盡量協助需要示威或遊行的人士行使他們的權利，但同時他們不能阻礙或妨礙選舉進行。
There will be traffic control outside the polling stations . We will do our best to assist protesters and participants of processions to exercise their rights while preventing them from obstructing or disrupting the Election
我看到新聞報告指有團體呼籲支持者阻礙選委前往投票。
I have read press reports about certain organizations urging their supporters to obstruct EC members from going to the polling station
我要指出，這是嚴重的違法行為，任何人如果這樣做，警方一定會從嚴拘捕。
I must point out that this is a serious breach of the law and if anyone attempts to do so the Police will strictly enforce the law and arrest them
主席，黃碧雲議員要求我再重申，究竟行政長官選舉是否屬於《基本法》第二十二條所述的"自行管理的事務"。
President Dr Helena WONG has asked me to reiterate whether the Chief Executive Election is an affair which the Hong Kong SAR administers on its own as stipulated in Article 22 of the Basic Law
其實，在3月1日立法會質詢，我已就其政黨成員鄺俊宇議員的質詢，很清楚指出，根據《基本法》各相關條文，行政長官的選舉並非純屬特區自行管理的事務。
Actually in my answer to the question asked by Mr KWONG Chun - yu a fellow member of her political party at the Legislative Council meeting on 1 March I pointed out clearly that as provided by the relevant provisions of the Basic Law the Chief Executive Election was not purely an affair which the SAR administered on its own
從《基本法》的各項條文可以看到，中央是有憲制的角色、權力和責任，我的副局長今早在開場發言時亦有再強調這一點。
The provisions of the Basic Law have stipulated that the Central Government has its constitutional role power and duty in this respect . My Under Secretary stressed this point again in his opening remarks made this morning
但是，無論如何，中央領導和各部門是會一如既往嚴格遵守"一國兩制"、"港人治港"、"高度自治"的原則去落實《基本法》的要求。
Nevertheless the Central Government and the departments under it will as always strictly adhere to the principles of one country two systems Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy . In so doing they fulfil the requirements of the Basic Law
最後，主席，在過去數小時，部分議員提到"小圈子"選舉這3個字。
Lastly President some Members have mentioned the term coterie election in the past few hours
當然，我和大家一樣失望，因為本來我也可以有份去投票。
Of course just like everyone I am very disappointed as I should have been able to cast my vote in this election
不過，為順利完成今日的辯論，讓我可以返回辦公室與同事開會確保選舉順利進行，故此我也不多說了。
Nevertheless in order to finish todays debate so that I can go back to my office to meet with my colleagues to ensure the smooth conduct of the election I will not say anymore
不過，我留意到下星期郭家麒議員動議一項議案辯論："促請下任行政長官重啟政改"。
I notice that Dr KWOK Ka - ki will move a motion debate for next week on urging the next Chief Executive to reactivate the constitutional reform
本來大家是可以辯論的，我無所謂，我或我的副局長會來聆聽大家的意見，可是我看見議案字眼又說要包括公民提名，便想提議大家不要浪費時間。
Anyone can debate on that issue . I have no special opinions; either I or my Under Secretary will come to listen to Members views . But when I see that the wording of the motion includes the phrase including civil nomination may I suggest Members not wasting their time?
若下一屆再提公民提名，一定是不會有好結果的。
If they request again in the Government of the next term for civil nomination it will certainly be of no avail
主席，我發言代表特區政府反對姚松炎議員的原議案，反對莫乃光議員、毛孟靜議員和楊岳橋議員的修正案，支持謝偉俊議員和李慧琼議員的修正案。
President I speak on behalf of the SAR Government to oppose the original motion moved by Dr YIU Chung - yim and the amendments proposed by Mr Charles Peter MOK Ms Claudia MO and Mr Alvin YEUNG but I support the amendments proposed by Mr Paul TSE and Ms Starry LEE
當然，最近有一些例子是較為高明的手法，例如"女媧補天"之說，這是在不違反法律、不違反選舉文化可接受的評論的情況下，相對較為高手的做法。
Of course we have seen some brilliant practices lately . Take for example the remark on the fable of Nuwa who patched up the sky with coloured stones . This is a clever way of expressing views about the upcoming election without actually breaching the laws or crossing the bottom line of acceptable commentary under our election culture
另外，亦有一些可能不太符合傳統、文化的方式，例如中央不任命論，或不支持某位候選人等於反對中央政府的說法等，我認為這些是較為接近危險界線的說法，但當事人有否說過或具體情況如何，大家仍在揣測或推敲之中。
On the other hand some practices are more unconventional or unorthodox such as the saying that the Central Authorities have the power not to appoint the Chief Executive - elect or that not supporting a particular candidate means acting against the Central Government etc . In my view such comments border on dangerous . But of course it is still a matter of speculation or guesswork as to whether the persons concerned have actually made those comments or under what specific circumstances such comments have been made
無論如何，我認為大家應該盡可能遵守法律，更理想的情況是香港可以起到好的示範作用，令中國各省市的同胞覺得民主選舉不應是他們越來越唾棄的事情，令他們覺得民主選舉不單是西方國家才能做到的事情事實上，西方社會的選舉制度好像亦出現越來越多問題令他們覺得民主選舉是有助人類社會文明進步的制度，但這種做法和方向必須各方面自律，否則說甚麼也是徒然。
In any case I think we should obey the law as far as possible . Ideally Hong Kong should serve as a good example for our compatriots in different provinces and cities of China so that they will stop resisting democratic elections or thinking that such elections can only happen in Western countries―in fact it seems that the electoral system in Western countries has been plagued by increasing problems―and that they may even consider the system of democratic election a tool to help our societies become more civilized and advanced . But for us to do so or move towards such a direction all parties concerned must exercise self - discipline
既然我將選舉比喻為打仗，又說結果有如此大影響，各方勢力定會盡量爭取勝利。
Otherwise everything would be in vain . As I said elections are like wars and they have high stakes . That is why different factions of power will stop at nothing to win
不過，總歸最重要的原則是，香港有充分的框架維繫最基本的條件。
That is why it is just natural for problems to occur . But all in all the most important principle is that Hong Kong must have the necessary framework to maintain the ground rules
就此，我必須提出一點，不同的遊戲方式，自然有不同的對策和玩法。
In this connection I must point out that different strategies or tactics would be used to play different games
在我請姚松炎議員發言及動議議案前，我想提醒議員，行政長官選舉將在數天後舉行，這項選舉受法例規管，以確保選舉在公開、誠實及公平的情況下進行。
Before I ask Dr YIU Chung - yim to speak and move the motion I would like to remind Members that the Chief Executive Election will take place in a few days
而這項議案的目的，正是要確保行政長官選舉能公正進行。
The Election is regulated by law to ensure that it is conducted openly honestly and fairly and the purpose of this motion is to ensure that the Election be conducted under fair conditions
因此，議員必須注意相關選舉法例及指引的要求。
Therefore Members must take note of the requirements provided by the election legislation and guidelines
為免影響行政長官選舉公正進行，議員在發言時應集中表達如何確保選舉公正進行，以及針對選舉制度提出意見。
To avoid affecting the fair conduct of the Chief Executive Election Members should focus their speeches on how to ensure a fair conduct of the Election and express their views on the election system
議員不應發布可能會被視為促使或阻礙任何候選人當選或達致相若效果的信息。
Members should not disseminate messages that may be seen as causing or obstructing the election of any candidates or may achieve a similar result
具體而言，議員在這項辯論中不應指名道姓，或暗示支持或不支持某位候選人；不應評論個別候選人的優劣；不應評論沒有事實根據但可能會促使或阻礙任何候選人當選的報道或傳聞；以及不應擺放可能會達致上述效果的展示品。
Specifically during the debate Members should not name names or imply that they support or not support any candidates; they should not comment on the merits or demerits of individual candidates; they should not comment on reports or hearsays that are unsubstantiated but may cause or obstruct the election of any candidates; and they should not display any objects that may achieve the aforesaid effect
如我認為議員的發言會影響行政長官選舉公正進行，我會提醒有關議員不要作有關言論。
If I consider that the speech of any Member will have an impact on the fair conduct of the Chief Executive Election I will remind the Member not to make such comments
如議員不理會我的提示，不斷作出該等言論，我會要求有關議員停止發言。
If the Member ignores my instruction and continues to make such comments I will ask the Member to stop speaking
主席，我動議若稍後就"確保行政長官選舉公正進行"所提出的議案或修正案再進行點名表決，表決須在鐘聲響起1分鐘後進行。
President I move that in the event of further divisions being claimed in respect of the motion on Ensuring the fair conduct of the Chief Executive Election or any amendments thereto this Council do proceed to each of such divisions immediately after the division bell has been rung for one minute
我命令若稍後就"確保行政長官選舉公正進行"所提出的議案或修正案再進行點名表決，表決須在鐘聲響起1分鐘後進行。
I order that in the event of further divisions being claimed in respect of the motion on Ensuring the fair conduct of the Chief Executive Election or any amendments thereto this Council do proceed to each of such divisions immediately after the division bell has been rung for one minute
反對派說到，如果選"薯片"可以對抗中央，表達反抗中央的意向，所以會策略性地投票給"薯片"代理主席，我沒有提任何人姓名其實，這就是"盲反"。
As mentioned by the opposition camp voting for Mr Pringles is a way to defy the Central Authorities and express their confrontational attitude toward the Central Government . For this reason they would allocate their votes strategically for Mr Pringles―Deputy President I have not named any candidate . In fact this is simply blind opposition
然而，教育界的選委說會捆綁投票給那位沒有教育政綱的候選人，我真的摸不着頭腦。
However members of the education subsector of the Election Committee have claimed that they would cast all of their votes for the candidate without an education platform . I really find it unfathomable
他們其實很坦白，說到底就是對抗中央。
They are actually very candid in admitting that their move was intended to confront the Central Authorities after all
中央多年來苦口婆心的說，香港要謀求發展就要團結、溝通、和諧，但反對派多年來都是火上加油，撕裂加對抗、搞政治，為的就是要對抗中央。
The Central Authorities have been earnestly reminding Hong Kong for years that unity communication and harmony are essential for Hong Kongs further development . However the opposition camp has been adding fuel to the flames by instigating division and political confrontations for years with a view to countering the Central Authorities
不好意思，其他的候選人就會用勞工政綱來遊說我們支持，但反對派卻否決了政改方案，我真的覺得很痛心。
However the opposition camp has voted down the constitutional reform package . I am really heart - broken
香港市民真的要看清楚今天的政治形勢，不要被一些美麗的口號、謊言蒙騙。
It is necessary for Hong Kong people to take a careful look at the current political situation in order not to be deceived by some beautiful slogans and lies
我們作為選委，會憑良心為香港人投下負責任的一票。
As members of the Election Committee we will cast a responsible vote on behalf of Hong Kong people according to our conscience
主席，開宗明義，我支持香港的特首選舉必須公平、公正，我也很欣賞姚松炎議員今天提出這項議案辯論。
President I would like to state at the outset that I support the conduct of the Chief Executive Election of Hong Kong in an equitable and fair manner . I also appreciate Dr YIU Chung - yim for moving this motion for debate today
如果可以的話，本會亦可促請中央人民政府所屬各部門不得干預行政長官的選舉，我認為這無疑是一個很好的理念。
If possible this Council may also urge the various departments of the Central Peoples Government not to interfere in the Chief Executive Election for this is in my view undoubtedly a very good idea
《基本法》第一條訂明：香港特別行政區是中華人民共和國不可分離的部分；《基本法》第二條又規定，我們今天享有"高度自治"，在行政、立法、司法和終審方面的權力，都是由全國人民代表大會常務委員會所授予，而這些權力是根據《中華人民共和國憲法》授予香港，我們才有"高度自治"的權力。
Article 1 of the Basic Law stipulates that [t]he Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is an inalienable part of the Peoples Republic of China; while Article 2 of the Basic Law also provides that the executive legislative judiciary and final adjudication power enjoyed by us now under a high degree of autonomy is authorized by the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress NPC . Under the Constitution of the Peoples Republic of China Hong Kong is authorized to exercise a high degree of autonomy
《基本法》的序言也提到，香港回歸，即中華人民共和國政府於1997年7月1日恢復對香港行使主權，實現了長期以來中國人民收回香港的共同願望。
It is also mentioned in the Preamble of the Basic Law that the reunification of Hong Kong that is the Government of the Peoples Republic of China resuming the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong with effect from 1 July 1997 fulfilled the long - cherished common aspiration of the Chinese people for the recovery of Hong Kong
所以，維護國家的統一和領土完整，以及保持香港的繁榮和穩定，這兩點是我們的基調。
Therefore upholding national unity and territorial integrity and maintaining the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong are our two keynotes
在20年前，香港出現了政權轉變，在1997年7月1日，一夜之間香港人當家作主，沒死過一個人，沒流過一滴血，各單位和社會人士都為香港努力做事，這是值得讚許的，也是一項世界奇蹟。
Two decades ago a change of regime took place in Hong Kong . On 1 July 1997 people of Hong Kong became their own master overnight without any death or bloodshed . The efforts made by all organizations and members of the community for Hong Kong are commendable
在這情況 下，香港是否已擁有"高度自治"？
Does Hong Kong have a high degree of autonomy under such circumstances?
環顧全世界，有哪個國家像中國一樣，一個主權國家容許一個地區有自己的貨幣、自己的行政制度，以及各方面的主導權，包括立法和終審等。
Let us look at other places in the world is there a sovereign state like China that allows a region of its jurisdiction to have its own currency and its own administrative system and to assume a leading role in various aspects including enactment of legislation and final adjudication?
