我認為戴耀廷的言論不僅再次暴露其"港獨"的本質，更顯示他越來越喪心病狂。
I consider that Benny TAIs remark not only exposed again his Hong Kong independence nature but also revealed his growing madness
對於這種死心不息搞"港獨"的人，我們不但要嚴厲譴責，更應給予嚴懲，讓他自吃"播獨"惡果。
As regards he who are hell - bent on promoting Hong Kong independence and his like not only do we severely condemn him we should mete out harsh punishment to him so that he can bear himself the consequences of spreading Hong Kong independence
主席，戴耀廷明目張膽地鼓吹"港獨"，不但涉及公共利益，更是企圖分裂國家。
President Benny TAI has blatantly propagated Hong Kong independence involving not only public interest but also in an attempt at secession of the country
其言論不單會損害國家主權及安全，亦是對"一國兩制"底線的嚴重挑釁，危害香港社會的長治久安。
His remark not only jeopardizes national sovereignty and security but also serves as a severe provocation to the bottom line of one country two systems putting the long - term peace and stability of Hong Kong at risk
他身為一名法律學者，卻一而再、再而三知法犯法。
As a jurisprudent he has advertently broken the law over and again
在2014年，他發動違法佔中，鼓吹"違法達義"，結果嚴重衝擊香港的法治基礎，荼毒了不少青年人。
In 2014 he initiated the illegal Occupy Central movement and advocated achieving justice by violating the law . It resulted in a heavy blow to the foundation of the rule of law in Hong Kong poisoning the minds of many young people
如今，他又變本加厲，在台灣鼓吹"港獨"，這明顯是違反國家的憲法及香港的《基本法》。
Now he has gone further to advocate Hong Kong independence in Taiwan in glaring violation of the national Constitution and the Basic Law of Hong Kong
這種口說法治，實則牽頭破壞法治的偽君子，我們絕對有必要通過辯論來拆穿他偽善的假面具，讓他不能繼續利用法律學者的外衣發表謬論，妖言惑眾，荼毒青年人。
For such a hypocrite who talks about rule of law but in reality takes the lead to destroy it it is absolutely necessary for us to expose his hypocritical disguise through this debate so that he can no longer present his fallacies dressed up as a jurisprudent to mislead the public and poison young peoples minds
最令人難以忍受的是，戴耀廷在其"港獨"言論令眾怒難息後，他竟然砌詞狡辯，以"打壓言論自由"為藉口，企圖為自己脫罪。
The most unbearable point is that after his Hong Kong independence remark had enraged the public Benny TAI resorted to sophistry and made up the excuse of attacks on freedom of speech in an attempt to absolve himself of his own guilt
他自欺欺人，實在可笑；他敢做卻不敢當，實在可耻。
It is laughable that he deceived himself and others; it is shameful that he dared to do it but does not have the guts to admit it
更悲哀的是，一眾反對派議員竟然只問立場，不分是非，"盲撐"戴耀廷。
It is even more pathetic that numerous Members of the opposition camp are fixated on a standpoint but fail to distinguish right and wrong and blindly support Benny TAI
我由衷希望今次的休會辯論，能讓真理越辯越明，讓市民看清楚是誰打着"言論自由"的幌子，像漢奸走狗一樣做着一些分裂國家、損害香港的事情。
I sincerely hope that through the debate on the adjournment motion today as the more the truth is debated the clearer it will become so that people can see who has been like a traitor or stooge committing acts of secession and harm Hong Kong under the pretext of freedom of speech
主席，我更希望市民的憤怒能令教育局和香港大學對戴耀廷赴台"播獨"一事作出跟進。
President I hope all the more that the public rage can make the Education Bureau and the University of Hong Kong HKU follow up on the matter in which Benny TAI went to Taiwan to spread Hong Kong independence
畢竟，港大是香港納稅人用公帑資助的學府，特首是其校監。
After all HKU is an institute funded by the Hong Kong taxpayers using public money and the Chief Executive is its Chancellor
但該校的一名副教授卻動輒發動違法佔中、鼓吹"違法達義"、散播"港獨"，這樣說得過去嗎？
However an associate professor of the university readily initiated the illegal Occupy Central movement and propagated achieving justice by violating the law to spread Hong Kong independence . Is it acceptable?
教育局和港大是時候給廣大市民一個交代。
It is time the Education Bureau and HKU made an account to the general public
最後，我希望這項辯論能令政府更加重視事件，在譴責戴耀廷之餘，亦要積極考慮如何應付"港獨"勢力，並檢討一直以來，政府在這方面的工作是否不足？第二十三條立法有否迫切性？
Lastly I hope the debate can make the Government take the incident more seriously . In addition to condemning Benny TAI it also has to actively consider how to tackle Hong Kong independence forces and review whether its efforts in this respect have been inadequate and whether it is urgent to legislate for Article 23
若有，又該如何開展立法工作？
If so how should the legislative work commence?
相反，如果政府繼續如鴕鳥般迴避第二十三條立法、"港獨"等問題，繼續守株待兔，等待所謂"合適的社會氛圍"，只會變相助長"港獨"氣焰，令"港獨"勢力更囂張。
Conversely if the Government continues to act like an ostrich and evade issues like the legislation for Article 23 and Hong Kong independence and adopt an wait - and - see attitude for the so - called appropriate social atmosphere it will only give fuel to Hong Kong independence encouraging it to become even more rampant
對於戴先生的言論，我感到十分震驚，因為香港作為中國一部分，並不存在"獨立"的選項。
I was extremely shocked by Mr TAIs remark since Hong Kong as part of China does not have independence as one of its options
任何有關"港獨"的主張，均違反國家憲法和《基本法》。
Any advocacy of Hong Kong independence is in violation of the national Constitution and the Basic Law
因此，戴耀廷先生發表香港可以考慮獨立的言論，不單漠視了國家憲法及《基本法》的原則和條文，也危害國家領土完整及香港社會的整體利益，挑戰"一國兩制"最基本的法理基礎，而且對國家安全和利益構成威脅。
As such not only does Mr Benny TAIs remark that Hong Kong could consider becoming independent disregard the Constitution but it also jeopardizes the national territorial integrity and Hong Kong societys overall interest challenges the most fundamental legal basis of the principle of one country two systems and threatens national safety and interest
身為大學法律系副教授，戴先生理應表現法律學者應有的嚴謹專業精神，謹言慎行。
As an Associate Professor of the Faculty of Law of a university Mr TAI ought to demonstrate the due diligence and professionalism of a law academic and be discreet in both words and deeds
《基本法》第一條已開宗明義表明："香港特別行政區是中華人民共和國不可分離的部分"，但他的"港獨"言論卻反映他對《基本法》的專業認識和理解，與社會期望有很大落差。
Article 1 of the Basic Law states at the outset that The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is an inalienable part of the Peoples Republic of China . His remark on Hong Kong independence however does reflect that his professional knowledge and understanding of the Basic Law is a far cry from the expectation of society
最令人擔心的是，他會否在教學過程中以學術討論及言論自由為名，傳授嚴重偏差、缺乏專業判斷的法律知識，甚至散播及推廣與"港獨"有關的言論，這是公眾和我相當關注的一點。
Most worrying is whether he will in the course of teaching impart legal knowledge which is seriously deviated and devoid of professional judgment and even disseminate and publicize remarks related to Hong Kong independence under the name of academic discussion and freedom of speech . This is a concern to the public and me
戴先生的言論引起了香港廣泛討論，雖然他其後辯稱他只是提出學術討論，探討各種政治模式的可行性，並強調大家應尊重學術自由和言論自由，但他出席的講座由台灣青年反共救國團舉辦，該團體也是開宗明義反對國家的執政黨，而在講座中更有"台獨"、"疆獨"、"藏獨"、"蒙獨"及"港獨"人士參與。
Mr TAIs remarks have aroused extensive discussions in Hong Kong . Although he later contended that he was merely proposing an academic discussion to explore the feasibility of various modes of politics and emphasized that academic freedom and freedom of speech should be respected the seminar attended by him was organized by the Taiwan Youth Anti - Communist National Salvation Corps which made it clear at the outset that it opposed the countrys ruling party . What is more the seminar was attended by advocates of Taiwan independence Xinjiang independence Tibetan independence Mongolian independence and Hong Kong independence
此外，當天講座的內容和言論，也超出了學術探討範圍。
Furthermore the contents of the seminar and the remarks made therein ran beyond the scope of academic exploration
根據戴先生的往績，更令人相信他其實想以學術自由和言論自由作為幌子；他的辯解也完全缺乏說服力。
Given Mr TAIs track record people were even more convinced that he actually intended to use academic freedom and freedom of speech as a guise and his excuse was absolutely unconvincing
在數年前的79天佔領中環行動中，他不單是主催者，也是行動者和組織者，鼓吹違法達義。
During the 79 - day Occupy Central movement that occurred a couple of years ago he was not only a proponent but also a campaigner and organizer advocating achieving justice by violating the law
在上次立法會換屆選舉中，他更策劃"雷動計劃"進行配票，干擾選舉正常運作。
During the previous Legislative Council Election he even orchestrated the ThunderGo campaign for allocating votes in order to interfere with the normal operation of the election
最近，他又直接發動、策劃及協調將會舉行的區議會選舉。
Recently he has also directly initiated orchestrated and coordinated the upcoming District Council elections
根據他的往績，有誰會相信他在台灣的言論只是單純的學術研究呢？
Given his track record who will believe the remarks he made in Taiwan were purely related to academic research?
針對他的行為，立法會同事於4月1日發起聯署聲明，聲討他的行為不但鑽法律空子，而且迴避法律制裁。
Having regard to his conduct Honourable colleagues in this Council initiated a joint declaration on 1 April to denounce him for not only exploiting loopholes in the law but also evading legal sanctions
這亦再次說明特區就國家安全進行立法，是明顯有需要和迫切性。
Again this demonstrates the obvious need and urgency for the Special Administrative Region to enact legislation for national security
主席，今天的休會待續議案提供機會，讓大家討論和正視這個問題，同時反映社會的關注，要求戴耀廷先生停止一切宣揚和鼓吹"港獨"的言論和行為。
President the adjournment motion today has given us an opportunity to discuss and address this issue squarely while reflecting the communitys concern and call for Mr Benny TAI to cease all remarks and acts of propagating and advocating Hong Kong independence
我在此亦促請香港大學正視教職員透過教學平台，散播及鼓吹"港獨"言行，並嚴正處理這種行為。
Here I also wish to call on HKU to address squarely the remarks and acts of its teaching staff in spreading and advocating Hong Kong independence and deal with such conduct solemnly
剛才有同事在今天的議案辯論中，想方設法為戴先生的行為和言論作出掩飾、辯解和開脫，我對此表示極度遺憾。
During the motion debate today some Honourable colleagues tried all means to belie defend and absolve Mr TAI of his words and deeds . I express my deepest regrets about this
早晨，主席。
Good morning President
我動議本會現即休會待續，以就下述事項進行辯論：佔領中環發起人之一戴耀廷先生於2018年3月在台灣出席論壇時，發表有關香港可以考慮成為獨立國家的言論對香港及國家利益的影響。
I move that this Council do now adjourn for the purpose of debating the following issue the impact on the interests of Hong Kong and the country arising from the remarks made by Mr Benny TAI Yiu - ting one of the initiators of the Occupy Central movement at a forum held in Taiwan in March 2018 that Hong Kong could consider becoming an independent state
主席，戴耀廷於今年3月在台灣出席一個名為"台灣青年反共救國團"的團體所舉辦的活動。
President in March this year Benny TAI attended an event in Taiwan hosted by an organization called Taiwan Youth Anti - Communist National Salvation Corps
他在活動中指出，香港可以考慮成為獨立國家。
During the event he claimed that Hong Kong might consider becoming an independent state
此番言論在香港社會引起了很大迴響，特區政府亦就有關言論發表了譴責聲明。
Such remarks triggered strong repercussions in Hong Kong society and the Special Administrative Region Government issued a statement of condemnation in respect of such remarks
有些反對派同事以言論自由來為戴耀廷開脫，這是混淆視聽及詞窮理屈的表現。
Some Honourable colleagues in the opposition camp plead for Benny TAI with freedom of speech . Such behaviour is confounding right and wrong when they are unable to advance further arguments to justify themselves
在國家憲法及《基本法》下，香港不存在任何宣揚"港 獨"的空間。
Under the Constitution of the country and the Basic Law there is no room for propagation of Hong Kong independence in Hong Kong
有些人會問，為何建制派對此事有這麼大的反應？
Some people may ask why the pro - establishment camp has such a strong reaction to this matter . The answer is very simple
很簡單，因為戴耀廷不是一個普通人，他是違法佔中的發起人，亦是法律系副教授，他所主持的"雷動計劃"和"風雲計劃"均有政治圖謀。
He is the initiator of the illegal Occupy Central movement . He is also an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Law . Both ThunderGo campaign and Project Storm led by him carry a political agenda
他是香港政治運動的牽頭人，他說的話並非隨口說了就算。
He leads the political campaigns in Hong Kong . What he says is not mere talk
我認為立法會在此事上需要有清晰的立場，如果我們不表態，公眾可能會懷疑立法會是否有意縱容某些人宣揚"港獨"，懷疑議會並無決心維護"一國兩制"。
In my view the Legislative Council needs to have a clear stance on this matter . If we do not state our stance the public may suspect whether the Legislative Council deliberately connives at the advocacy of Hong Kong independence by certain people and doubt the determination of the Council in upholding one country two systems
所以，我今天提出議案，希望議會同事能夠明確表明他們"反港獨"的立場。
Hence today I have proposed this motion and hope that Honourable colleagues in the Council can clearly state their stance against Hong Kong independence
我亦呼籲稍後發言的泛民同事不要再為戴耀廷辯駁，因為越是這樣做，便越顯得自己與"港獨"分子有千絲萬縷的關係。
I also appeal to Honourable colleagues of the pan - democratic camp who are going to speak in a while not to speak in defence of Benny TAI anymore because the more they do so the more the cobweb of relations between them and advocates of Hong Kong independence is revealed
其實並無必要把反對宣揚"港獨"與言論自由對立，這樣做只會顯得"此地無銀三百兩"。
In fact there is no need to pitch opposition to advocacy of Hong Kong independence against freedom of speech . Such an overreaction will only give themselves away
我記得上次內務委員會討論此議題時，泛民議員用數個理由替戴耀廷開脫。
I remember that during our last discussion on this question in the House Committee the pan - democratic Members pleaded for Benny TAI with a few excuses
第一，他們經常問，究竟戴耀廷的言論有甚麼地方違法？
Firstly they kept asking which part of Benny TAIs remarks had violated the law
議會不是法庭，無權裁決他有沒有罪，但同樣，泛民也不是法官，不是他們說他沒罪，他便沒有罪。
The Council is not a law court . It has no power to judge whether he is guilty or not . But similarly the pan - democrats are not judges either
戴耀廷的言論明顯影響了內地與香港之間的互信，影響了"一國兩制"，這是毋容置疑的。
It is not that if they say he is not guilty then he is not guilty . Benny TAIs remarks have obviously affected the mutual trust between the Mainland and Hong Kong as well as one country two systems . This is indisputable
單就這一點，我們已經有足夠理由譴責戴耀廷。
This point alone has already given us a sufficient reason to condemn Benny TAI
第二，泛民經常說，我們這樣做會影響學術自由。
Secondly the pan - democrats kept saying that if we do so academic freedom would be undermined
大家都明白，在這件事上，所謂學術自由只是戴耀廷的一塊"遮醜布"。
We all understand that in this matter the so - called academic freedom is just Benny TAIs fig leaf
那項活動是否一場學術論壇？
Was that event an academic forum?
社會自有公論，我相信只有視而不見的傻人才會相信那是一場學術論壇。
Public opinion is the best judge . I think only idiots turning a blind eye to everything will believe it was an academic forum
《基本法》當然保障我們的言論自由，但並不保障我們宣揚"港獨"的言論自由。
The Basic Law certainly protects our freedom of speech but it does not protect such freedom of propagating Hong Kong independence
因此，我希望泛民的同事不要再為戴耀廷辯駁，應站在正義的一方，反對"港獨"，支持我今天的議案，清清楚楚地與戴耀廷的"港獨"言論劃清界線，支持"一國兩制"。
For this reason I hope Honourable colleagues in the pan - democratic camp will stop speaking in defence of Benny TAI . They should stand on the side of justice oppose Hong Kong independence and support my motion today making a clean break with Benny TAIs remarks on Hong Kong independence and supporting one country two systems
我認為今天要提出中止待續議案，原因有數個，特別是與《基本法》有關。
I think there are a number of reasons for proposing an adjournment motion today particularly in relation to the Basic Law
我相信各位議員都記得，當天我們在議事廳內宣誓，我們會擁護《基本法》，而《基本法》第十一條寫得很清楚，"香港特別行政區立法機關制定的任何法律，均不得同本法相抵觸"。
I believe Members will remember that when we took the Oath in this Chamber we swore that we would uphold the Basic Law . Article 11 of the Basic Law clearly provides that [n]o law enacted by the legislature of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall contravene this Law
既然如此，我們在想，立法會主席會否了解我們現時審議 的《廣深港高鐵條例草案》究竟有沒有違反《基本法》？
As such can the President of the Legislative Council ascertain whether the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link Co - location Bill the Bill we are now scrutinizing has contravened the Basic Law?
本會恢復《廣深港高鐵條例草案》的二讀辯論。
This Council resumes the Second Reading debate on the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link Co - location Bill
主席，剛才陳淑莊議員說你沒有為立法會把關，我認為她的論點非常正確。
President just now Ms Tanya CHAN said that you have not defended for this Council and I think her argument is absolutely correct
你說你沒有權裁決這項《廣深港高鐵條例草案》是否合憲，你當然沒有權作裁決，因為只有法院才有權，連特區政府也沒有權，但我相信你也會記得，以往議員提出修正案或要求修改《議事規則》，你也有徵詢法律顧問或外間大律師的意見，看看那些修正案是否違憲。
You said you did not have the authority to rule on the constitutionality of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link Co - location Bill the Bill; you are certainly not empowered to make the ruling because only the court has the authority to do so . Even the SAR Government does not have such authority . That said I think you may recall that when Members proposed amendments or requested to amend the Rules of Procedure RoP in the past you did consult the Legal Adviser or outside counsel on the constitutionality of the relevant amendments
當然，你還要考慮有關的修正案、議案和法案有否違反《基本法》......
Of course you also need to consider if the relevant amendment motion or bill is in contravention of the Basic Law
公民黨早於2009年財務委員會通過政府的高鐵方案時，由始至終也質疑在《基本法》的框架下，沒有可能落實"一地兩檢"的安排。
When the Finance Committee endorsed the Governments Express Rail Link proposal in as early as 2009 the Civic Party had all along queried the viability of the co - location arrangement under the framework of the Basic Law
這憲法問題不僅存在爭議，而且切切實實地違憲，我將會在二讀發言時繼續談論這個違憲的問題。
This constitutional issue is not only controversial but also truly unconstitutional . I will continue to discuss this unconstitutional issue during the Second Reading debate on the Bill
《條例草案》不單明顯違憲，而且整個法律過程都出現問題，所以現在進行審議是完全未成熟的。
Not only is the Bill blatantly unconstitutional the entire legislative process is also riddled with problems it is therefore absolutely premature to proceed with the deliberation
一直以來，"一國兩制"最重要的精神是香港和內地各有不同的法律。
All along the most important essence of one country two systems is that Hong Kong and the Mainland have different laws
《基本法》第十八條清楚訂明，除國防、外交和其他按《基本法》規定不屬於香港特別行政區自治範圍的法律外，內地法律不能在香港實施。
Article 18 of the Basic Law clearly provides that except for laws relating to defence and foreign affairs as well as other matters outside the limits of autonomy of HKSAR under the Basic Law no Mainland law shall be applied in Hong Kong
任何法例要在香港實施，必須透過《基本法》附件三，這道防火牆非常重要。
Laws to be introduced in Hong Kong must be added to list of laws in Annex III to the Basic Law which is a very important firewall
政府提交的《條例草案》，在香港境內的高鐵西九龍站劃出內地口岸區，實施內地法例，顯然違反了《基本法》第十八條。
In the Bill introduced by the Government a Mainland Port Area MPA is designated at the West Kowloon Station of the Express Rail Link XRL within the Hong Kong territory where Mainland laws will apply which obviously contravenes Article 18 of the Basic Law
在實施內地法例之餘，更將口岸區的香港司法管轄權和香港法律完全剔除，並把整個保障香港人權、法律和自由的制度移除。
Not only will MPA apply Mainland laws it will also be completely removed from the jurisdiction and laws of Hong Kong as well as the entire system where Hong Kongs human rights laws and freedom are safeguarded
雖然《條例草案》只針對高鐵西九龍站內的過境情況，但這種包裝方式卻造成一個極壞的先例，破壞了《基本法》第十八條為香港人提供的重要保障。
Although the Bill only deals with the clearance matters at the West Kowloon Station of XRL the way it is packaged has set a very bad precedent and undermined the important protection that Article 18 of the Basic Law provides to Hong Kong people
為何《基本法》要如此狠狠地"一刀切"？
Why should the Basic Law be so clear - cut?
就是要極度嚴謹地排除內地法例在香港實施的情況，因為兩地的法制及發展的成熟程度並不相同。
Because this can strictly rule out the possibility of applying Mainland laws in Hong Kong since the legal system and maturity level of the two places are not the same
在保護權益、司法獨立等方面，香港......
In the protection of rights judicial independence and so on Hong Kong
主席，我很清楚現正辯論的是甚麼，也很清楚自己在說些甚麼及為何要這樣說，我的目的是要支持陳淑莊議員提出的中止待續議案。
President I am well aware of what is being discussed and I know exactly what I have said and why I said so . I am speaking in support the adjournment motion moved by Ms Tanya CHAN
你不必提醒我，我很清楚現時提出中止待續的原因，就是這項《條例草案》顯然違反《基本法》。
You need not remind me as I know very well that the reason for adjourning the debate of the Bill is its blatant contravention of the Basic Law
毛孟靜議員，如果你繼續在座位上叫喊，我會視之為行為極不檢點。
Ms Claudia MO if you continue to speak loudly in your seat I will regard your behaviour as grossly disorderly
主席，剛才說到在《基本法》的框架下，第十八條清楚訂明內地法例在何種情況下可在香港實施，而有關規定是非常清楚的。
President just now I said that under the framework of the Basic Law Article 18 has clearly specified the circumstances under which Mainland laws shall be applied in Hong Kong and the requirements are perfectly clear
有一項很簡單和很重要的法律原則，就是在解釋法律條文時，我們必須清楚研究法律條文的寫法。
There is a very simple and important legal principle that is when interpreting any legal provision we must clearly examine the drafting of the provisions
香港大律師公會的意見書已多次指出這是狡辯，有違《基本法》一般常理的理解，不會有人以這種"捉字蝨"的方式理解和解釋《基本法》第十八條，並認為這是非常幼稚的說法。
As pointed out time and again in the statements issued by the Hong Kong Bar Association this is sheer sophistry and is at odds with peoples general understanding of the Basic Law because Article 18 will not be read and construed in a way like a play on words . It therefore considers such a remark very naïve
這項有關"一地兩檢"的《條例草案》顯然違憲，而且不是民主派或公民黨說了算，因為大律師公會在整個過程合共發表了3份意見書，更跨越大律師公會和香港律師會的兩個理事會，史無前例地指出政府提交的《條例草案》違憲。
This Bill relating to the co - location arrangement is apparently unconstitutional . This remark is not merely made by the pro - democracy camp or the Civic Party as the Bar Association issued three statements on the Bill during the deliberation process . The Councils of the Bar Association and of The Law Society of Hong Kong had also issued statements to unprecedentedly declare that the Bill introduced by the Government was unconstitutional
由此可見，不同的法律界代表的意見相若，就是《條例草案》顯然違反《基本法》。
This shows that different representatives of the legal sector have expressed a similar view that the Bill has blatantly contravened the Basic Law
我要特別引述大律師公會的意見，當中嚴厲地指出《條例草案》沒有憲制基礎，這是針對政府和內地簽訂的《合作安排》的條款內容，並經全國人民代表大會常務委員會以《決定》形式確認。
I would like to cite the views of the Bar Association in particular which sternly points out that the Bill does not have any constitutional basis and is drafted in the light of the terms of the Co - operation Arrangement signed between the Government and the Mainland and confirmed by the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress NPCSC in the form of the Decision
人大常委會的《決定》引用了《基本法》第二十二條第四款；第一百五十四條第二款有關入境管理制度的條文；第七條有關香港政府享有管理土地的權力的條文，以及第一百一十八條和第一百一十九條關乎經濟和法律環境及促進發展等的條文。
The Decision of NPCSC has invoked Article 224 of the Basic Law; Article 1542 relating to the immigration control system; Article 7 relating to the Governments authority to manage the land as well as Articles 118 and 119 relating to the economic and legal environment and the promotion of development respectively
然而，大律師公會在2017年12月28日發表的意見中指出，沒有一項條文能夠如香港政府所說，為實施"一地兩檢"的安排提供法理基礎。
However as pointed out by the Bar Association in its statement issued on 28 December 2017 none of the provisions could provide a legal basis for the implementation of the co - location arrangement as claimed by the Hong Kong Government
再者，人大常委會的《決定》亦沒有提出任何理據和基礎。
Worse still the Decision of NPCSC has not provided any rationale or basis
大律師公會直言對此表示震驚，認為此宣布等同指"但凡全國人大常委會所說符合的便是符合"，這顯然違反我們的法治精神。
The Bar Association bluntly expressed that it was appalled as this was tantamount to saying that it is consistent because NPCSC says so which is obviously against the rule of law
大律師公會更表示這是自回歸以來，香港特區政府執行《基本法》的最大倒退，嚴重衝擊"一國兩制"的實施和法治精神。現時面對香港政府提出這項顯然違憲的《條例草案》，立法會的民主派議員會盡每一分努力仔細審議，並用盡每一寸空間保障香港市民的權益。可是，其他議員會否這樣做呢？
The Bar Association even went further to say that this was a major retrogression of the HKSAR Government in the implementation of the Basic Law since the reunification and has dealt a serious blow to the implementation of one country two systems and the rule of law
舉例來說，當時的運輸及房屋局局長鄭汝樺向香港人表示，不需要"一地兩檢"也可興建高鐵。
For example the then Secretary for Transport and Housing Eva CHENG told Hong Kong people that XRL could be built without the co - location arrangement
她當時告訴我們高鐵建造不會超支，結果超支接近200億元。
She told us at that time that cost overruns were unlikely but cost overruns have now amounted to nearly 20 billion
大家更擔心實行"一地兩檢"後，香港行之有效的"一國兩制"、"港人治港"、"高度自治"無法繼續。
We are even more concerned that the implementation of the co - location arrangement will put an end to one country two systems Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy that have been effective in Hong Kong
其實，我們應有更多的機會，令法案委員會委員甚至公眾明白究竟發生甚麼事。
In fact we should have more opportunities to enable members of the Bills Committee and even members of the public to understand what is happening
很可惜，法案委員會主席絕對沒有盡其責任，令《條例草案》的討論比較成熟、認真，亦沒有迫使官員認真作答。
Regrettably the Chairman of the Bills Committee had not performed her duties to facilitate mature and serious discussions over the Bill nor had she demanded officials to seriously give their replies
我們支持根據《議事規則》第41條動議的議案，因為政府沒有清晰交代"一地兩檢"下，"一國兩制"如何繼續實施。
We support the motion moved under RoP 41 for the Government has failed to clearly explain how one country two systems can still be implemented under the co - location arrangement
最重要的是，將來在"一地兩檢"下，很多市民關注的、在香港行之有效的很多法律無法於香港特別行政區西九龍站內實施。
Most importantly if the co - location arrangement is implemented in the future many laws that the public are concerned about and that have been effectively enforced in Hong Kong cannot be enforced at the West Kowloon Station of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR
