主席，一般來說，我們希望能在4星期內完成審批申請。
President generally speaking the vetting and approval process for CSSA applications is expected to be completed in four weeks time
過去數月，我們的議員辦事處收到很多失業市民的求助，他們在等候審批綜援期間，生計已經出現問題。
In the past few months our Members offices received many requests for assistance from the unemployed as they could not make ends meet while awaiting CSSA approval
我們嘗試協助他們申請慈善機構的緊急援助，但全都已經額滿，就連食物銀行也因為疫情而運作受到影響。
We tried to help them apply for emergency assistance from charity organizations but all the quotas were full . The operation of food banks was also affected due to the epidemic
當然，如要重新設計整個制度，就要考慮和討論政府、僱主和僱員的角色。
Of course if the entire system has to be revamped we will have to consider and discuss the roles of the Government employers and employees
主席，最近香港經常有一種說法，說外國有國安法，為何香港不可以有？
President recently there is a saying in Hong Kong that goes Why cant Hong Kong have the national security law when overseas countries have such laws?
中國國歌第一句歌詞是"起來！不願做奴隸的人民！
The first sentence of Chinas national anthem is Arise ye who refuse to be slaves!
每次足球比賽也如是，若某人站得不夠直，或背向國旗或做了其他動作，又被認為不尊重。
In every ball game whenever a person does not stand up straight or faces away from the national flag or makes some other gestures he or she will be regarded as being disrespectful
我記得上星期我和主席的對話，主席說我離題，我向他解釋我沒有離題，然後主席說我不尊重他，我告訴主席，要人尊重他，不是喝止或強迫對方，對方便會尊重，這是假尊重。
I remember the dialogue between the President and I last week . When the President said that I had digressed from the subject I explained to him that I had not; and then the President said that I did not respect him . I told the President that he could not gain the respect of other people by shouting at that person or forcing that person to show respect
尊重國歌也是一樣的，強迫別人尊重、威嚇對方說："若你不尊重，便送你入獄"。
This was bogus respect . The same goes for respect for the national anthem . If you force or threaten others to respect the national anthem saying If you show no respect I will send you to prison
當然，對一個極權來說，它不需要人民的心，發自內心的那種尊重或敬愛，它只要他們做出來，便算成功。
Of course to the totalitarian regime it does not need to win the hearts of its people or the respect and love coming from the bottom of their hearts . It will consider itself successful when people act in a respectful way
極權者不會理會人民內心是否真正尊重，所以有人告訴我，如果在一個社會裏，沒有言論自由、真正的言論自由、思想自由，談愛國、談尊重國旗、國徽是沒有意思的。
An autocratic ruler will not care if peoples respect is true and genuine . Therefore somebody tells me that it is meaningless to talk about patriotism as well as respect for the national anthem and the national emblem when there is no genuine freedom of speech and freedom of thought in society
在一個沒有言論自由、沒有思想自由的地方，談愛國、談尊重，是沒有意思的。
It is meaningless to talk about patriotism and respect in a place where there is no freedom of speech and freedom of thought
還有愛國這種情緒，很容易被人用作一個政治打壓的工具。
Also patriotic sentiments are vulnerable to be used as a tool of political oppression
很可惜，今時今日的香港，本來應享有的"港人治港"和"高度自治"，聽說現在已好像被"分拆"出來，變相中央有監督權。
Unfortunately today in Hong Kong Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy which we should be entitled to seem to have been ripped away thus giving the Central Government the right to oversee Hong Kong
他們指我不支持並反對《條例草案》，所以我就是不尊重"一國"，這就是上綱上線。
As pointed out by HKMAO I have not supported and have opposed the Bill so I do not respect one country . They are making a mountain out of a molehill
我認為這類檢控的後果非常嚴重，所以我不支持。
I think the consequence for this kind of prosecution is very serious so I do not render support
我擔心政府會濫用法例，我怕當局究竟在現實情況下，會怎樣執行這項法例？
I am worried that the Government will abuse the law . I am also worried how this law will be enforced in real - life situation
當權者嘗試用法律包裝政治手段、用法律包裝打壓。
People in power are trying to cover up their political means and suppression under the pretence of law enforcement
有人整天說言論自由不是絕對，誰都知道言論自由不是絕對，但指的是不能在戲院內突然叫喊走火警，作出危害其他人安全或誹謗等行為。
Some people always say that freedom of speech is not absolute . Everyone knows that freedom of speech is not absolute . One cannot suddenly shout fire in a theatre and do acts which will endanger others or defame others
很多議員剛才指出，怎樣才被視為公開或故意不尊重、侮辱國歌？
Many Members have pointed out earlier how people will be regarded as openly or deliberately disrespecting and insulting the national anthem
別說一般市民，我作為一名律師可能我不是出色的律師我也要想清楚究竟應如何拿捏和理解這個定義。
Even a lawyer like me―I may not be an outstanding lawyer―has to think clearly how to grasp and comprehend the definition not to mention the general public
現時在香港，當一個人屬於民主派，特別是議員，或其他民主派領袖時，只要做錯一件小事，他們便會不惜一切控告他，更可能不只是控告他一種罪行。
Nowadays in Hong Kong if a person especially a Member who belongs to the pro - democracy camp or is a pro - democracy leader makes a small mistake the authorities will stop at nothing to persecute that person or may even charge that person with more than one offence
正如最近李柱銘和吳靄儀及一眾民主派領袖的案件一樣，不單是控告他們參與一個非法集會，還控告他們煽動其他人參與，之後將案件轉交另一所法院。
As in the recent cases of Martin LEE Margaret NG and many pro - democracy leaders they are not only charged with the offence of participating in an unlawful assembly but are also charged with the offence of inciting others to participate in the unlawful assembly and their cases are later referred to another court
議員同事有很多不同原因反對這項《條例草案》，今天市民所面對的情況是已有300多人被捕，整個香港變成police state，這就是我們現正活在的香港。
Member colleagues have many different reasons for opposing the Bill . Today the situation faced by citizens is that more than 300 people have been arrested and the whole Hong Kong has been turned into a police state . This is Hong Kong in which we are living now
《國歌條例草案》的目的，是就有關在香港奏唱國歌、保護國歌及推廣國歌訂定條文。
The purpose of the National Anthem Bill the Bill is to provide for the playing and singing of national anthem in Hong Kong for the protection of national anthem and for the promotion of national anthem
我會集中討論《條例草案》的主要條文。
I will focus on discussing the major provisions of the Bill
首先，關於《條例草案》的弁言，有委員認為，弁言第3段中"增強公民的國家觀念"及"弘揚愛國精神"等字眼的意思含糊不清，令人關注《條例草案》的目的是否強迫市民愛國。
First of all concerning the Preamble of the Bill some members consider that expressions like to enhance citizen awareness of the Peoples Republic of China and to promote patriotism in paragraph 3 of the Preamble are vague and have given rise to concern about whether the Bill is to force people to be patriotic
這些委員認為，"愛國精神"的用語涵義含糊，可以有不同的詮釋。
These members have also pointed out that the meaning of the term patriotism is vague and would be open to different interpretations
政府當局解釋，弁言中"增強公民的國家觀念"及"弘揚愛國精神"等語句應按其一般的涵義詮釋。
The Administration has explained that the meaning of the expressions to enhance citizen awareness of the Peoples Republic of China and to promote patriotism should be interpreted by their ordinary meaning
"愛國精神"亦屬概括的用語，在《條例草案》所涵蓋的情況下並無特定涵義。
Patriotism is a general term and has no specific meaning in the context of the Bill
政府當局解釋，弁言僅旨在述明有關法例的背景，以助詮釋有關法例。
The Administration has also explained that a preamble provides background information and serves to provide a context to facilitate the interpretation of the legislation concerned
政府當局確認，《條例草案》弁言並無施加任何法律責任。
The Administration has confirmed that the Preamble of the Bill does not impose any legal liability
關於《條例草案》第1部導言，委員察悉，《條例草案》第2條訂明國歌的定義，並闡釋《條例草案》中提述國歌歌詞及國歌曲譜的涵義，以及提述"奏唱國歌"的涵義。
Regarding Part 1 of the Bill―Preliminary members note that clause 2 provides for the definition of national anthem and explains the meanings of the lyrics and the score of the national anthem and a reference to playing and singing the national anthem
至於《條例草案》第2部奏唱國歌，該部訂明奏唱國歌的標準和禮儀，以及須奏唱國歌的場合。
Part 2 of the Bill―Playing and Singing of National Anthem stipulates the standard and etiquette for playing and singing the national anthem as well as the occasions on which the national anthem is played and sung
部分委員認為，《條例草案》第4條，即有關奏唱國歌時參與或出席有關場合的人當守的禮儀的條文的適用範圍過於廣泛，也有委員認為，《條例草案》第4條並無必要，應予刪除，以免為未能遵守該條文所訂禮儀的法律後果帶來任何不確定的情況。
Some members consider that the scope of applicability of clause 4 which provides for the etiquette to be followed by persons who take part in or attend an occasion when the national anthem is played and sung is too large . Some members consider that clause 4 of the Bill is unnecessary and should be deleted to avoid any uncertainty in respect of the legal consequence of failure to observe the etiquette provided in the clause
政府當局解釋，《條例草案》第4條反映《中華人民共和國國歌法》第七條的內容，同時為市民提供指引，說明在參與或出席奏唱國歌的場合時當遵守的禮儀。
The Administration has explained that clause 4 of the Bill reflects Article 7 of the Law of the Peoples Republic of China on the National Anthem and provides guidance for members of the public by describing the etiquette to be followed when taking part in or attending an occasion on which the national anthem is played and sung
政府當局強調，《條例草案》第4條僅屬指引性條文，不附帶罰則。
The Administration has emphasized that clause 4 of the Bill is only a directional provision and carries no penalty
委員察悉，《條例草案》第5條訂明，在列於附表3的場合，須奏唱國歌，當中包括作出立法會誓言的宣誓儀式。
Members note that clause 5 of the Bill provides for the playing and singing of the national anthem on each occasion set out in Schedule 3 including the Legislative Council oath - taking ceremony
《條例草案》第3部保護國歌，即《條例草案》第6至8條，禁止不當使用國歌、國歌歌詞或國歌曲譜，以及公開及故意侮辱國歌的行為。
Part 3 of the Bill―Protection of National Anthem prohibits the misuse of the national anthem or its lyrics or score as well as the act of publicly and intentionally insulting the national anthem
第3部亦就該等行為訂立罰則。
It also provides for penalties for such behaviours
就有關侮辱國歌的罪行，部分委員認為，《條例草案》第7條中"侮辱"一詞的定義含糊，他們關注當局以何準則決定某作為是否構成侮辱國歌。
With regard to the offence of insulting the national anthem some members consider the definition of insult in clause 7 of the Bill vague . Some members have expressed concern about the criteria for deciding if an act constitutes an insult to the national anthem
政府當局解釋，《條例草案》將"侮辱"界定為"就國歌而言，指損害國歌作為中華人民共和國的象徵和標誌的尊嚴"。
The Administration has explained that the Bill defines insult as in relation to the national anthem to undermine the dignity of the national anthem as a symbol and sign of the Peoples Republic of China
政府當局認為，有關定義已令"侮辱"一詞的涵義確切，亦為法庭審理案件提供了明確的基礎。
The Administration considers that this definition already provides certainty to the meaning of the term insult and a clear basis for the court when adjudicating cases
政府當局強調，控方在證明某行為是否構成《條例草案》第7條所訂的罪行時，除須證明有關行為構成該條文所訂明的侮辱行為外，還須證明有關的人是意圖侮辱國歌而公開及故意作出該行為，然後才可提出檢控。
The Administration has stressed that in proving that certain act amounts to an offence under clause 7 of the Bill apart from proving that the conduct constitutes an insulting act stipulated the prosecution must also prove that the person concerned has intent to insult the national anthem and performs such act publicly and intentionally before prosecution can be instituted
此外，部分委員認為，《條例草案》所訂立的罰則水平過高。
In addition some members consider the level of penalty imposed by the Bill too high
政府當局表示，《條例草案》訂立的第5級罰款及監禁3年，是侮辱國歌的罪行的最高罰則水平。
The Administration has advised that a fine at level 5 and imprisonment for three years is the maximum level of penalty of the offence of insulting the national anthem provided under the Bill
法庭會根據每宗個案的實際情況，決定應否向違反相關條文的人施加罰則，以及應施加甚麼罰則。
The court will decide whether and what penalties should be imposed on a person who contravenes the relevant provisions of the Bill in accordance with the actual circumstance of each case
此外，《條例草案》所訂的罰則水平，與《國旗及國徽條例》就侮辱國旗或國徽的罪行所訂的罰則水平一致。
In addition the level of penalty provided under the Bill is the same as that for the offence of desecrating the national flag or national emblem under the National Flag and National Emblem Ordinance
《條例草案》第4部推廣國歌，即《條例草案》第9至10條。《條例草案》第9條規定，教育局局長須就將國歌納入小學及中學教育發出指示。
On Part 4 of the Bill―Promotion of National Anthem clause 9 of the Bill requires the Secretary for Education to give directions for the inclusion of the national anthem in primary education and secondary education
部分委員關注到，該等指示是否強制性質，以及該等指示對中小學的教學自主權有何影響。
Some members have expressed concern about whether the directions are mandatory and their impact on the autonomy of primary and secondary schools in teaching
該等委員亦擔心，教師在執行該等指示時會否承受不當的壓力，以及若學生在校舍內作出不尊重國歌的行為，應如何處理。
They are also concerned whether undue pressure would be exerted on teachers in the implementation of the directions and what should be done if students perform acts that show disrespect for the national anthem within the school premises
政府當局解釋，《條例草案》第9條旨在反映《國歌法》第十一條的規定，同時兼顧香港的實際情況。
The Administration has explained that clause 9 of the Bill seeks to reflect the requirement in Article 11 of the National Anthem Law while taking into account the actual circumstances in Hong Kong
政府當局指出，《條例草案》第9條，只向教育局局長施加法律責任，以就將國歌納入小學及中學教育發出指示。
The Administration has pointed out that clause 9 only imposes a legal responsibility on the Secretary for Education to give directions for the inclusion of the national anthem in primary and secondary education
該等指示旨在規定有關學校實施《條例草案》第91a及b條，即"使學生學習歌唱國歌；及以教育學生國歌的歷史及精神；及奏唱國歌的禮儀"。
The directions are to require schools concerned to implement clause 91a and b ie . to enable the students to learn to sing the national anthem; and to educate the students on the history and spirit of the national anthem; and on the etiquette for playing and singing the national anthem
政府當局強調，如何教育學生尊重國歌是學與教的問題，全屬教師的專業範疇。
The Administration has stressed that how to educate students to respect the national anthem is a matter of learning and teaching which falls entirely under the professional purview of teachers
教育局並無規定須就教授國歌使用哪些教與學材料。
The Education Bureau does not prescribe the teaching and learning materials to be used for teaching the national anthem
至於如何處理學生在校舍內的不當行為，政府當局 表示，應交由學校和教師按其專業判斷處理，而有關處理方式應達到教育的目的。
The Administration has advised that handling of students improper behaviour within the school premises should be left to the professional judgment of schools and teachers and be dealt with in such a way that the purpose of education is served
此外，委員察悉《條例草案》第10條提供法律基礎。
Furthermore members note that clause 10 of the Bill provides the legal basis
《條例草案》將國歌納入政府宣傳短片或聲帶，而本地免費及收費電視節目服務和聲音廣播服務牌照持有人，須按牌照的條款及條件，播放政府宣傳短片或聲帶，即包括國歌。
The Bill requires the broadcast of the national anthem by an announcement in the public interest or material in the public interest API and domestic free television and radio broadcasters are required under the terms and conditions of a broadcasting licence to broadcast APIs including the national anthem
此外，通訊事務管理局須向牌照持有人發出指示，規定牌照持有人須在行政長官規定的日期，藉政府宣傳聲帶或短片廣播國歌。
The Communications Authority must make a direction in relation to the broadcasting licence requiring the licensee to broadcast the national anthem by APIs on a date stipulated by the Chief Executive
有委員質疑，由於現時亦已設有本地電視和聲音廣播持牌機構，廣播國歌的政府宣傳聲帶及短片的機制，他們認為《條例草案》第10條並無必要。
Some members have questioned that clause 10 of the Bill is unnecessary as the mechanism for broadcasting APIs on the national anthem by domestic television and sound broadcasting licensees is already in place
他們亦反對賦權行政長官為持牌機構藉政府宣傳聲帶及短片廣播國歌而規定日期，但政府當局認為，《條例草案》第10條所訂的安排合適，而政府當局亦參考了《國旗及國徽條例》的有關安排。
They also oppose conferring the power to stipulate a date for the licensees to broadcast the national anthem by APIs to the Chief Executive but the Administration is of the view that the arrangement provided in clause 10 is appropriate and the Administration has made reference to the relevant arrangement under the National Flag and National Emblem Ordinance
主席，法案委員會及政府當局不擬就《條例草案》提出修正案。
President the Bills Committee and the Administration have not proposed any amendments to the Bill
至於議員的修正案，我會留待他們自己闡述。
As for the amendments of Members I will leave the elaborations to them
主席，以上是我就法案委員會工作作出的報告。
President the above is my report on the work of the Bills Committee
我現在表達我對《條例草案》的個人意見。
I now express my personal views on the Bill
主席，國歌是憲法確立的國家象徵和標誌，香港特別行政區作為中華人民共和國的一部分，理應尊重中國國歌。
President the national anthem is a national symbol and sign established by the Constitution . As part of the Peoples Republic of China the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region should respect the national anthem of China
2017年11月4日，全國人民代表大會常務委員會通過決定，將《國歌法》列入《基本法》附件三。
On 4 November 2017 the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress adopted the decision to include the National Anthem Law in Annex III to the Basic Law
根據《基本法》第十八條，凡列於《基本法》附件三之全國性法律，由香港在當地公布或立法實施。
Under Article 18 of the Basic Law national laws listed in Annex III shall be applied locally by way of promulgation or legislation by Hong Kong
因此，香港有憲制責任實施《國歌法》。
For this reason Hong Kong has the constitutional responsibility to implement the National Anthem Law
為了兼顧香港普通法法律制度及實際情況，政府選擇了以本地立法形式在香港實施《國歌法》。
In order to give due regard to the common law legal system and the actual circumstances in Hong Kong the Government has chosen to implement the National Anthem Law in Hong Kong by local legislation
在本地立法過程中，經內務委員會授權成立了法案委員會。
During the local legislation process the House Committee agreed to form a Bills Committee to scrutinize the Bill
法案委員會總共召開17次會議，歷時超過50小時，詳細審議《條例草案》，也舉行了1次公聽會。
The Bills Committee has held 17 meetings which lasted more than 50 hours to carefully scrutinize the Bill and a public hearing was also held
法案委員會報告原定於去年6月14日提交內會，但因修例風波及本年度內會停擺而遭到擱置，到了今天才恢復二讀。
The Bills Committees report was originally scheduled for submission to the House Committee on 14 June last year but it was shelved because of the disturbances arising from the opposition to the proposed legislative amendments and the shutdown of the House Committee this year . It is not until today that the Second Reading is resumed
主席，《條例草案》的主旨是尊重國歌，並就公開及故意侮辱國歌或不當使用國歌的行為訂立罰則，爭議性不大。
President the object of the Bill is to respect the national anthem and impose penalties for the act of publicly and intentionally insulting the national anthem or misusing the national anthem . The Bill is not very controversial
但是，社會上對《條例草案》的種種疑慮和意見，反映出市民對《條例草案》的認識存在不少偏差及誤解， 有部分人士認為《條例草案》限制言論自由，意圖進行"洗腦"教育，因而稱之為惡法。
However the doubts and opinions of the community on the Bill reflect that people have distorted understanding and misunderstanding of the Bill . Some think that the Bill restricts freedom of expression and intends to introduce brainwashing education thus calling it an evil law
《條例草案》第2部奏唱國歌的禮儀是為了反映《國歌法》的立法原則而制定的指引性條文，違反條文並沒有罰則。
Part 2 of the Bill―Etiquette for playing and singing the national anthem contains a directional provision to reflect the legislative principles of the National Anthem Law and carries no penalty
只是當公開故意作出侮辱國歌的行為，且行為具侮辱意圖時，才可能需要承擔刑事責任。
Only a person performing the act of publicly and intentionally insulting the national anthem with intent to insult the national anthem may have criminal liability
然而，是否承擔刑事責任，須根據案件的具體情況決定。
However whether the person has criminal liability has to be assessed based on the actual circumstances of each case
根據香港普通法的法統，刑事案件的舉證責任在於控方，舉證標準非常高，必須毫無合理疑點。
According to the common law tradition of Hong Kong the burden of proof in criminal cases lies with the prosecution and the standard of proof is very high ie . beyond reasonable doubt
如果在公開奏唱國歌時發生失誤、走音或以其他音樂風格演繹國歌，控方必須證明相關行為意圖侮辱國歌，而且是公開及故意作出，僅表現出不喜歡國歌而無侮辱國歌意圖不會墮入法網。
When the national anthem is played or sung publicly if errors are made people goes out of tune or the national anthem is played in other musical styles the prosecution must prove that the relevant behaviour is publicly and intentionally insulting the national anthem with intent to insult the national anthem . If a person simply displays his dislike of the national anthem with no intent to insult the national anthem he will not be caught in the net of justice
主席，雖然《基本法》第二十七條保障香港居民的言論自由，但發表言論的自由並非絕對，是可以予以限制的。
President although Article 27 of the Basic Law protects the freedom of speech of Hong Kong residents the freedom of speech is not absolute and it can be restricted
根據終審法院的判決，禁止侮辱只是禁止一種發表形式，並無干預以其他形式發表信息的自由。
According to the judgment of the Court of Final Appeal prohibiting acts of insulting is only prohibiting a form of presentation without intervening in the freedom of presenting information in other forms
相關限制是有限度和合理的，並無違反《基本法》對言論及表達自由的保障。
The restrictions concerned are limited and reasonable and they will not infringe upon the protection of the freedom of speech and expression under the Basic Law
社會人士的另一個爭議點是，立法會舉行議員宣誓儀式時需要奏唱國歌。
Another controversial point in the community is the playing and singing of the national anthem at the Legislative Council oath - taking ceremony
部分人士用心險惡，放大恐懼，稱之為可隨意"DQ"議員。
Some people with sinister intentions have magnified the fear saying that Members can be arbitrarily disqualified
這是毫無根據的指責，更是一個偽命題。
This is an unfounded accusation and a pseudo proposition
首先，立法會議員參選和作就職宣誓時，根據法例須表明擁護《基本法》，以及效忠中華人民共和國香港特別行政區。
First of all when people stand in the Legislative Council election and later takes an oath of office the law requires him to swear to uphold the Basic Law and swear allegiance to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China
在擁護《基本法》和"一國兩制"的前提下，立法會議員應該尊重國歌作為國家的象徵，出席宣誓過程中奏唱國歌的環節。
On the premise of upholding the Basic Law and one country two systems Legislative Council Members should respect the national anthem as a symbol of the country and attend the oath - taking ceremony when national anthem is played and sung
其次，如果因為不熟識普通話，只能以廣東話唱國歌而沒有侮辱國歌的意圖並不會違法，何來隨意"DQ"？
Moreover if Members who are not fluent in Putonghua sing the national anthem in Cantonese with no intent to insult the national anthem they will not violate the law . Why will they be arbitrarily disqualified?
我亦奉勸那些議員好好學習普通話。
My advice to these Members is that they should learn Putonghua well
主席，尊重國歌是應有之義，恢復二讀辯論應該回歸理性討論，而非泛政治化，逢中必反，更不應組織或發起三罷，包圍立法會，阻 止議員開會，以及阻止立法會行使《基本法》第七十三條第一項賦予的依照法定程序制定、修改和廢除法律的職權。
President respecting the national anthem is a justified act . During the resumption of Second Reading debate we should return to rational discussions instead of politicizing all issues and opposing everything about China . People should not organize or initiate a general strike on three fronts besiege the Legislative Council Complex obstruct Members from attending meetings and impede the exercise of the powers and functions of the Legislative Council under Article 731 of the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ie
我支持《條例草案》恢復二讀，以履行以本地立法形式在香港實施《國歌法》的憲制責任。
to enact amend or repeal laws in accordance with legal procedures . I support the resumption of Second Reading of the Bill to fulfil the constitutional responsibility of implementing the National Anthem Law in Hong Kong by local legislation
根據《議事規則》第3條，閣下其實現時是出任代理主席一職，簡單而言，你認為自己能執行主席職務和主持立法會。
According to Rule 3 of the Rules of Procedure RoP you are actually taking up the post of the Presidents deputy . In short you consider that you are capable of acting as the President and preside at the Legislative Council meeting . As Mr WU Chi - wai has said clearly earlier we now hope to make a humble request to the Deputy President rationally
胡志偉議員剛才說得很清楚，我們希望現時向代理主席理性地提出一個卑微要求，正因為我們現時審議這項《條例草案》，外面已有多達數百人被捕，有很多同事希望能夠前往現場幫助進行調停，我們真的不希望看到情況越演越烈，亦不知道今晚會發生甚麼事。
As we are now scrutinizing the Bill hundreds of people have been arrested outside . Many colleagues hope to go to the scene to assist in the mediation . We really do not want to see the situation aggravating and we also do not know what will happen tonight
根據《議事規則》第24條質詢預告第4款，如議員以事項性質急切及與公眾有重大關係為理由，可請求立法會主席准許無經預告而提出質詢。
According to subrule 4 in RoP 24 a Member may ask the permission of the President to ask a question without notice on the ground that it is of an urgent character and relates to a matter of public importance
我們真的不忍心再看到香港市民及一些青年人因為我們現時審議這項《條例草案》而上街，最後被無理拘捕。
We can hardly bear to see Hong Kong citizens and some young people taking to the streets and being arrested unjustifiably because of the Bill we are now scrutinizing
各位議員，胡志偉議員剛才請我考慮暫停會議，許智峯議員亦然，而鄺俊宇議員則請我容許他提出緊急質詢。
Members Mr WU Chi - wai asked me just now to consider suspending the meeting . Mr HUI Chi - fung made the same request and Mr KWONG Chun - yu asked me to allow him to raise an urgent question
首先，我想向鄺俊宇議員指出，質詢環節已過。
First of all I wish to point out to Mr KWONG Chun - yu that the question time has passed
此外，剛才有多位議員要求動議休會待續議案，立法會主席已就他們的要求作出裁決。
Moreover earlier a number of Members have requested to move an adjournment motion and the President has already made his ruling in response to their requests
作為代理主席，我不認為現在有需要暫停會議，亦不認為現在暫停會議有助即時處理社會上的各種矛盾。
Being the Deputy President I do not think there is a need to suspend the meeting now and I also do not think that suspending the meeting now can help resolving immediately the various conflicts in society
