兩星期前，我們驚聞瑪麗醫院的換肝手術出現了令人震驚的情況，有病人進行換肝手術被剖腹後，醫生需要到其他醫院進行其他手術。
We were shocked to learn that an alarming incident happened two weeks ago during a liver transplant surgery in The Queen Mary Hospital . The surgeon was required to perform another surgery in another hospital midway into a liver transplant with the patients abdomen having been cut open
就是次事件，政府表示瑪麗醫院成立了調查委員會跟進。不過，我想告訴局長，沒有一名市民，包括局長和我在內，希望自己、家人或朋友在手術台上被麻醉剖腹後，面對手術不能繼續進行，醫生有可能會離開，甚至去了另一所醫院的情況。
Although the Government said that the Queen Mary Hospital has established an investigation committee to follow up the incident I must tell the Secretary that nobody the Secretary and myself included wants to be left on the operation table waiting with his abdomen cut open while the surgeon leaves and goes to another hospital . No one wants that to happen to ourselves our families or friends
這種事情匪夷所思，令市民非常擔憂。
The incident is simply inconceivable and extremely worrying
我認為所有病人都應該得到醫生專注的照顧，尤其是在手術進行期間。
I believe all patients deserve the full attention of their doctor especially during an operation
所以，我希望局長可以確保香港有足夠的醫護人手，亦要設法挽留人才。
Therefore I hope the Secretary can ensure sufficient health care manpower in Hong Kong and retain talent
即使我們有優秀的人才，但如果他們不願意留在公立醫院工作，慢慢地全部轉往私家醫院工作，結果有錢人可以得到較佳的醫療照顧，而基層市民則準備要躺在手術台上，待醫生先照顧完有錢的病人後才回來。
Even when we have superb talent if they are unwilling to remain in public hospitals and gradually move to private hospitals the rich people will end up getting better health care while the grass roots will need to wait on the operation table for doctors to return from taking care of rich patients first
代理主席，我們希望政府在處理這個問題時，全面向市民交代，而不是瑪麗醫院自行研究和提交報告。
Deputy President I hope the Government can give a full account to the public in handling this matter rather than letting the Queen Mary Hospital conduct an investigation on its own and submit a report
事實上，我認為政府要向市民解釋，為何大閘蟹的問題已處理了1年，卻似乎仍未處理好。
In fact I believe the Government should explain to the public why the issue of hairy crabs is still not settled a year down the line
近年亦出現巴西凍肉入口的問題：第一是過期；第二是最近發現從巴西入口的10個貨櫃的雞腳和內臟原來不宜供人食用。
Also there have been problems with imported frozen meat from Brazil in recent years . Not only were some of them past expiry recently 10 containers of chicken feet and offal imported from Brazil were found unsuitable for human consumption
出口時說適宜供人食用，但實際上只是供寵物食用的飼料，並不宜供人食用。
They claimed to be suitable for human consumption at export but in fact they were only to be consumed as pet feed not for human consumption
我們支持在立法過程中從嚴不從寬，故支持政府的大部分建議，但對米和菜中的鎘含量，政府卻從寬不從嚴，突然把較嚴謹的標準放寬一倍，我們對此有所保留。
We support most of the proposals made by the Government as we think that the regulation should be more stringent . However we have reservations about the level of cadmium in rice and vegetables for which the Government has relaxed the current level standard by double
就其他方面，我們同意政府修訂這項條例。
Other than that we agree with the Governments amendments to this regulation
除了食物中的金屬污染外，當然還有其他有害的物質，希望政府能一併檢視，包括我剛才提到的二噁英等致癌物，還有黃曲霉素等，已很久沒有作出檢討。
Apart from metal contamination there are of course other harmful substances in food which I hope the Government can also examine . They include carcinogenic substances such as dioxin that I mentioned just now and aflatoxin which is highly toxic and has not been reviewed in a long time
代理主席，還有少許時間，我想談談有關勞工和福利的問題。
Deputy President as I still have some time I would like to speak on labour and welfare issues now
勞工及福利局局長已上任，我們特別希望局長可就託兒、護老和照顧者等方面多做工作。
We hope the Secretary for Labour and Welfare can make greater efforts on child care elderly care and carers
施政報告中提到，2018-2019年度會在北區、觀塘、葵青和沙田4區分批增加合共約300個資助獨立幼兒中心名額。
The Policy Address mentioned that the Government will provide a total of about 300 additional places in aided standalone child care centres in the North District Kwun Tong Kwai Tsing and Sha Tin starting from 2018 - 2019
我們當然歡迎增加名額，但對這種"擠牙膏"式的做法有少許擔心，因為不是一次過增加300個名額，而是分批增加，仍未清楚知道需時多少年。
We certainly welcome the increase of places but are at the same time a bit worried about this squeezing toothpaste out of a tube approach . The additional 300 places are not provided in one go but in batches and we are unsure how many years it will take
我希望政府能作出全面規劃，因為很多地區的日間資助獨立幼兒中心的名額其實已飽和，市民正在輪候，卻沒有空位。
I hope the Government can make comprehensive planning as places in aided standalone day child care centres in many districts have actually reached capacity . People are on the waiting list but there is no vacancy
政府在那4區逐漸增加名額，這當然會較好，但問題是整個九龍西，包括深水埗、油尖旺和九龍城卻一個空位也沒有，亦沒有增加名額，連港島和離島的名額也沒有增加。
Of course it will be better for the Government to gradually increase the places in those four districts but the entire Kowloon West including Sham Shui Po Yau Tsim Mong and Kowloon City has no vacancy either nor additional places . Neither have Hong Kong Island and the outlying islands
所以，我們希望政府透過未來的託兒顧問報告，進行全面檢視，提供多元化託兒服務。
Hence we hope the Government can conduct a comprehensive review through the upcoming consultancy report so as to provide diversified child care services
提供託兒服務其實有兩個最重要目的。
The provision of child care services serve two important purposes
一方面，我們也知道，政府想釋放婦女的勞動力。
As we all know the Government seeks to release the female labour force
如果子女有人照顧，便可能會有較多基層婦女或新移民願意重投勞動市場。
More grass - roots women or new immigrants may be willing to re - enter the labour market if their children are taken care of
當然，我們希望提供託兒服務，並非純粹着眼於釋放婦女勞動力，而是希望全港婦女和所有母親均有選擇。
Of course our demand for child care services does not solely focus on the release of the female labour force but also aims at giving all women and mothers in Hong Kong choices
意思是如果她們選擇做全職家庭主婦，她們可以自己照顧子女；如果她們願意工作，那麼社會便應給她們這個選擇。
That means if they choose to be full - time housewives they can take care of their own children; or if they want to work then society should give them such an option too
因此，要讓婦女有選擇，除了增加託兒服務外，我覺得政府仍然要考慮大力增加全日制幼稚園名額。
So apart from increasing child care services I believe the Government should also consider substantially increasing full - day kindergarten places in order to give women choices
現時很多新屋邨和新發展區也沒有全日制幼稚園名額，我曾經服務的啟晴邨及德朗邨就是例子。
Currently there is no full - day kindergarten places available in many new housing estates and new development areas . Kai Ching Estate and Tak Long Estate that I have served are two examples
幼稚園只有半日制的話，家長將難以選擇全職工作。
Half - day kindergartens make it difficult for parents to work full - time
代理主席，最後我想談談長者方面。
Deputy President lastly I would like to say a few words about the elderly
我們知道羅致光局長很想做好這份工作，我們希望政府明白現時人口老化的情況。
We all know that Secretary Dr LAW Chi - kwong really wants to get this job done . We hope the Government can understand the current situation of ageing population
我們當然亦希望政府做好私營安老院舍的質素監管，避免長者在私營院舍受到虐待或得不到足夠的照顧。
We also hope the Government will assure the quality of private elderly homes so as to avoid elderly abuse or inadequate care in private elderly homes
至於居家安老方面，我相信照顧者的支援政策最為必要。
Insofar as ageing in place is concerned I believe support policies for carers are the most essential
最近接二連三發生了數宗與照顧患病家人相關的家庭倫常慘劇，聞者心酸。
It was disheartening to hear several family tragedies related to taking care of sick family members that happened recently
我們很希望政府認真關注照顧者，他們照顧家人時受到經濟壓力，身心疲累，終有一天會爆破。
We really hope the Government will pay serious attention to carers who are subjected to financial pressure and physical and mental exhaustion when taking care of their family members
我們不希望再看到這些悲劇發生，所以，有需要考慮增加照顧者的津貼，以及在社區增加日託、暫託甚至短期住宿服務。
We do not wish to see these tragedies happen again thus there is a need to consider raising the allowance for carers and increasing day care occasional care and even short - term residential services in the community
照顧者作出全天候的照顧，怎會不需要休息和支援呢？
How would carers who provide care around the clock not need any rest and support?
這些都是我們需要認真研究的。
We need to carefully study all of these
最後關於侍產假及產假，我也想提出一些意見。
Lastly I would also like to present some views on paternity leave and maternity leave
如果大家當初支持我提出的修訂，現在根本已經實行5天侍產假了。
If my amendment was supported back then five - day paternity leave would have been now implemented
我們覺得施政報告發表了一個好消息，就是政府最低限度願意研究把產假由10星期延長至14星期。
As for maternity leave we find a good piece of news in the Policy Address that is the Government is prepared to study the possibility of extending maternity leave from 10 weeks to 14 weeks
我們希望政府盡快展開有關工作。
We hope the Government will launch such work expeditiously
《僱傭條例》內有關產假的規定在1970年訂立，當時規定"前四後六"，最初是無薪的，到了1981年更改為支取三分之二薪酬，1995年再增加至五分之四薪酬。
Maternity leave was first introduced under the Employment Ordinance in 1970 which made employees entitled to unpaid leave four weeks before and six weeks after delivery . In 1981 the maternity leave pay was amended to two thirds of the wages and in 1995 it was again raised to four fifths of the wages
未來無論是延長侍產假還是延長產假至14周，我們希望都不是八折支薪，而是全薪的產假及侍產假。
Be it extending paternity leave or extending maternity leave to 14 weeks we hope they will all come with full pay instead of 80 % pay . The current - term Government has given the business sector a huge relief in terms of profits tax
今屆政府在利得稅上已經對商界作出了很大的寬免，我希望商界人士會支持政府把產假及侍產假變成全薪假期，這對僱員來說是更大的鼓舞，哺乳的媽媽有足夠時間休息，亦可以延長餵哺母乳的時間，我們知道產後抑鬱的問題仍然困擾很多要生育的婦女，所以，我們希望政府對她們提供更大的支援。
I hope the business sector will support maternity and paternity leave with full pay which will offer greater encouragement to employees . In this way breastfeeding mothers will have sufficient rest time and the breastfeeding period can be prolonged . We understand that postpartum depression is still haunting many women intent on giving birth so we hope the Government can provide them with greater support
然而，民生需要一個公義的結構來分配公共資源、社會上的資源，不論是物理上的空間、土地、財富，還是一些討論空間、思想空間、權力，這些也很重要。
However to improve peoples livelihood we need to have fair frameworks for distribution of public resources and resources in society be they physical space land and wealth as well as room for discussion and thinking and power . These are all important
如果欠缺這些結構，民生最多只可變成關愛。
In the absence of these frameworks work on peoples livelihood would at most be some initiatives of care
關愛的意思是，有一些有錢的、成功的、在社會擔任領導的人，他們認為有些人不幸，有些人天生有缺陷或障礙、有些人經歷生老病死的困苦，於是他們這些強者便會為弱者提供支援，從而表達關心、愛護，令社會更和諧。
What does it mean? . It means that some wealthy and successful persons as well as leaders in society think that since certain people are unfortunate suffering from congenital deficiencies or disabilities or caught in the plights of illness and death they as the stronger members in society should express love and care to the weak by providing support to these people
這是一套很舊的想法，是一種父母式，由上而下的思維。
This kind of mindset is conservative kind of top - down and paternalistic mindset
公眾也認為管治者是要作主的，因此我們有甚麼訴求，只能希望管治者聽取，然後回應，當他們回應我們的需要時，我們便心滿意足。
The public also thinks that the governor should have the final say . When we have certain demands we would only hope that the governor will heed our views and respond to our requests . If the authorities respond to our needs we will be more than satisfied
這是所謂"蟻民"與父母官的關係。
Such a relationship is one between the petty masses and parental officials
代理主席，多年來，我們嘗試扭轉這種關係，但以往在這個政治結構中，實在太多鬥爭。
Deputy President we have been trying for years to change this relationship . Yet in the past there were too many power struggles within this political structure
越有權，越有責任。
With greater power comes greater responsibility
很可惜，掌權、掌握資源的人，並不容易放棄。
Regrettably people with power and resources will not give them up easily
上一屆，梁振英在民生上本有一些着墨，並視房屋為重中之重的要務。
In the previous term LEUNG Chun - ying had exerted some effort in improving peoples livelihood and made housing the most important task of the Government
房屋當然是最基礎的問題，市民今天之所以仍然生活在水深火熱之中，房屋差不多可說是罪魁禍首。
Housing is definitely a fundamental concern which can be regarded as the culprit of all the plights faced by the public today
可惜，不知何故，他竟好勇鬥狠，在許多不必要涉及爭鬥之處，他也要這樣做。
Unfortunately for some reasons unknown he indulged in aggressive rivalries provoking disputes over many uncontroversial issues
我當然不期望她會突然完全地改變，但她畢竟曾任社會福利署署長，從前又修讀社會學，而她也向我們表示她曾考慮當社工。
Of course I would not expect her to change completely overnight . Yet she had after all been the Director of Social Welfare in the past and had studied sociology . She once told us she used to think of becoming a social worker
因此，我對她的期望特別高。
Hence I have particularly high expectations on her
再者，她揀選了羅致光出任勞工及福利局局長，這應是一件美事，因兩位對社福和民生也較熟悉。
Moreover she has chosen LAW Chi - kwong as the Secretary for Labour and Welfare . This is good for both of them are relatively well - versed in issues of welfare and peoples livelihood
代理主席，我期望當局在改善民生上，不再停留於關愛層面，但可惜我暫時看到的仍是如此，儘管羅致光曾是社工界的人，也曾擔任社工系教授多年，而"林鄭"亦有一些社福的背景。
Deputy President in improving peoples livelihood I hope the authorities will not remain at the level of extending care . Regrettably this is what I have seen so far even though LAW Chi - kwong comes from the welfare sector and has been a professor in the social work discipline for years and that Carrie LAM has some welfare background
對今年的施政報告，理論上我應感到高興，當中有許多事情均是我爭取了很多年的，讓我舉數個例子說明。
Regarding the Policy Address this year I should be glad about it theoretically for many of the measures therein are measures for which I have been striving for years . Let me cite a few examples
其實，對於罕見疾病的藥物或其他政策改善，我10多年前已在這個議會開始爭取。
In fact I started striving for the drugs and other improvement initiatives for rare diseases in this Council a dozen of years ago
兩星期前，我們與一些脊髓肌肉萎縮症病友到行政長官辦公室外示威，林鄭月娥親身出來接信，場面令病友感動，當天是星期天早上，大家也估不到有這場面。
Two weeks ago we accompanied some patients with Spinal Muscular Atrophy SMA to stage a protest outside the Chief Executives Office and Carrie LAM came out to receive the letter in person . That was a touching moment . It was a Sunday morning and we had not expected that
之後，她亦親自回信給一位脊髓肌肉萎縮症病友，該病友現於香港大學英語系學習，難得的是她作出個人關懷。
After that she wrote to an SMA patient in reply . That patient is now studying in the School of English of the University of Hong Kong . Her act of expressing care personally is appreciated
不過，代理主席，罕見疾病的問題在外國早已立法，有既定政策。
However Deputy President in overseas countries laws on addressing rare diseases have been enacted and there are established policies
外國的法例也稱這些為"孤兒藥"或"孤兒病"的法例。
These laws enacted overseas used the terms orphan drugs and orphan diseases
顧名思義，罕見疾病便是很少人患上的病，因此研發藥物或治療方法的工作也自然少。
As the name suggests rare diseases are diseases which only affect a very small number of people . It is thus natural that not much development work is focused on these drugs and treatment methods
因為市場小，沒有商業價值，所以政府投放資源是應有之義。
Since the market is small there is no business value for such development . Hence it is righteous for the Government to allocate resources to this area
可是，醫療上許多時也是以市場價值來衡量，情況就如今天的民生項目般。
Regrettably more often than not medical development is driven by market value which is the same in the case of peoples livelihood issues
不過，10多年前，我曾與一班黏多醣症病人到行政長官的禮賓府抗議，也曾與一些肌肉萎縮症的病人抗議，當時連病床也推到禮賓府前。
However a dozen of years ago I went to Government House of the Chief Executive with a group of Mucopolysaccharidoses MPS patients to stage a protest . I had also protested with some SMA patients where a hospital bed was also pushed to Government House
我們當年的口號是"讓我們活下去"，今年，我仍要到行政長官辦公室示 威，口號仍是"讓我們活下去"。
Back then we chanted the slogan Let us live . This year I still have to go to the Chief Executives Office to protest chanting the same slogan Let us live
然而，代理主席，回心一想，在2017年香港這個國際大都會，我要為病友爭取救命藥物10多年，最後還要請那些正使用呼吸機、十分虛弱、不應日曬雨淋的病友站出來，到行政長官辦事處或禮賓府面前，求特首憐憫，為他們提供藥物。
We feel hopeful . However Deputy President on second thought in this year of 2017 and in a cosmopolitan city like Hong Kong I have been striving for life - saving drugs for patients for over a decade . Eventually I have to ask fragile patients still on a ventilator who should not be exposed to the elements to come forward to the Chief Executives Office or Government House to beg for the Chief Executives mercy to provide drugs for them
今年特首出來接見確是進步了，但如果我們是一個民主開放社會，如果這個政府真的是"先天下之憂而憂"、真的"急民生所急"，這些問題早應循其他渠道溝通、解決了，無須待這群病友辛苦的站出來。
Truly it was a progress that the Chief Executive came out to meet with the patients this year . Yet if we are a democratic and open society and if the Government can take the lead to address the worries of the people and the pressing needs of the public sincerely these problems should have long since been addressed and discussed through other channels and these patients would not have to bear the pain to come forward
因此，我想指出，現在已是2017年，政府多年來不斷表示會改善民生，這方面花一點錢，那方面花一點錢，但卻未有看到實際的需要。
Hence I would like to point out that in this year of 2017 the Government has made a continuous effort to improve peoples livelihood by commiting some resources to various areas yet overlooking their practical needs
2007年，我第一次在議會動議要求成立兒童事務委員會，議案獲得通過，但政府就是懶得理。
In 2007 I moved a motion urging for the establishment of a commission for children for the first time in this Council . The motion was passed but the Government simply ignored it
代理主席，我們要求的是按聯合國《兒童權利公約》成立的團體，團體具有監察政府的權力、有法定及調查權力，而且是一個讓兒童發聲的平台。
Deputy President our request is the setting up of an organization according to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child . Such an organization should have the power to monitor the Government and the statutory power to conduct investigations and also serve as a platform for children to voice their views and needs
今天，當局的房屋政策是，"為香港市民提供適切及可負擔的居所"，這是否笑話呢？
Today the housing policy of the Government seeks to provide adequate and affordable housing for the people of Hong Kong . What a joke
本港的教育提倡"求學不是求分數"，這是否笑話呢？
The education in Hong Kong promotes the idea of Learning Its more than scoring . What a joke
本港的醫療政策則提出，沒有人會因經濟問題而得不到適切的醫療照顧。
The health care policy of Hong Kong proposes that no one should be denied adequate health care through lack of means
正如英國曾誇下海口，表示會在2010年把兒童貧窮的數字減半，2020年要把兒童貧窮消滅，最終能否實踐，大家拭目以待。
As in the case of the United Kingdom it had boldly made the undertaking that the number of children living in poverty would be cut half in 2010 and reduced to zero in 2020
代理主席，我不知羅局長心中是否已經躊躇滿志，有了"零輪候"的規劃。
Deputy President I do not know if Secretary Dr LAW Chi - kwong has a plan for zero waiting time at heart and is full of confidence about it
不過，剛才提及的《安老服務計劃方案》卻沒有這樣的想法，當中反而預測本港未來對長期護理的需要會逐步下降。
However the Elderly Service Programme Plan mentioned earlier does not include this idea . On the contrary according to the projection in the Plan the demand for long - term care in Hong Kong will drop gradually
隨着人口老化越來越嚴重，65歲以上人口的比例，現時為16.7%或差不多17%，但到2030年以後，將上升至三成，即每3個人中有1個是長者，但長期護理的需要可以每年下降1%。
As the problem of population ageing worsens the ratio of the population aged 65 or above which is 16.7 % or close to 17 % at present will increase to 30 % by 2030 . In other words one out of three persons will be an elderly person yet the demand for long - term care will decrease by 1 % every year
我認為這簡直是石破天驚，我們竟突 然準備引入數十萬人。
I think it is groundbreaking that we plan to bring in a few hundred thousand people
然後，他們指出這是可行的，因為長者社區照顧服務券的價值，現時已由3,700元增加至8,000元，如果用作聘請外傭，一定有餘，這便可解決問題。
They say it is feasible for the value of the Community Care Service Voucher for the Elderly will be increased from the current amount of 3,700 to 8,000 so it will be more than enough for paying a foreign domestic helper and the problem will be solved
不過，對於引入外傭的機制或實際操作，現在是問題多多的。
The mechanism for bringing in foreign domestic helpers and the actual operation is fraught with many problems
現時，很多外傭來港時，也要負擔一筆債項，究竟外傭要繳交多少中介費呢？
At present many foreign domestic helpers are burdened with a debt when they come to Hong Kong . How much agency fees do these foreign domestic helpers have to pay?
這些所謂過渡房屋或社會房屋，甚或共住共享等，其實全是虛招。
These so - called transitional housing or community housing or even co - housing and sharing schemes and so on are all pseudo - proposals
我們是否繼續容讓一群擁有權力的人或既得利益者壟斷決策呢？
Should we continue allowing a group of people with power or vested interests to monopolize all the decisions?
我們是否不可以對等、人人有份參與、理性的方式，由政府以證據為本來制訂政策呢？
In fact we can adopt practices upholding equality and rationality and allowing universal participation to make the Government formulate evidence - based policies . Can we not do that?
坦白說，這是另一個例子，示範甚麼是權力不平衡、封閉式管治。
Frankly this is another example illustrating what is power imbalance and closed governance
當然，這並非完全封閉，因為在這個議會提出的事情，還具一定透明度，而事務委員會也有討論相關事宜。
Certainly it is not a fully closed type for issues put forth in this Council still enjoy a certain degree of transparency and the relevant issues were discussed at panels
平機會檢討了4項歧視條例，提出了73項改革建議，當中大部分是法律改革，並識別出23項最為迫切及最需要優先進行的改革的建議。
EOC has reviewed the four ordinances on discrimination and made 73 recommendations most of which concern law reforms and EOC has highlighted 23 reform recommendations which it considers pressing and necessary and should be accorded priority
這是不合理的，一項法例禁止社會基於種族作出歧視，但政府竟可無須遵守該項法例。
It is unreasonable that the Government is exempted from compliance with a law prohibiting the community to practise race discrimination
這便慘了，大家也想象到少數族裔的貧窮情況。
Members can thus imagine the situation of the ethnic minorities living in poverty
就南亞裔家庭而言，即使在政策介入後，貧窮率也達22.6%，而有小朋友的南亞裔家庭的貧窮率更超過三成。
There was slight improvement yet I have learnt that the improvement this year is negligible . In fact 20 % of the households in Hong Kong accounts for around 1.3 million people . As for South Asian ethnicity households the post - intervention poverty rate stood at 22.6 % whereas the poverty rate for South Asian ethnicity households with children exceeded 30 %
大家可以想象，現行的政策根本無法幫助這些有小朋友的南亞族裔家庭。
Members may deduce that the existing policies are ineffective in helping these South Asian ethnicity households with children
在現行的反歧視條例下，教育、職業教育、公共服務及政府行為全不受規管，試問哪有機會改善。
Under the existing anti - discrimination laws education vocational education public services and practices of the Government are all exempted . In that case how can there be improvement?
我認為當中最重要是教育，教育確實是脫貧的重要渠道，我相信在座所有人也認同這點。
In my view education is the most important of all for it is an important way to lift people out of poverty and I think all of us here will agree with this
結果， 大部分學生未能入讀大學，只能從事基層工作，大部分人繼續貧窮，現況就是這樣。
As a result most of them cannot study in universities but can only take up elementary jobs and most of them continue to live in poverty . This is the current situation
可是，沒有辦法，政府不肯立法，議員又如何立法呢？
If the Government is unwilling to enact legislation on this how can Members enact such legislation?
然而，在真正的權力架構沒有改變的情況下，我們提出的規劃，最終要不是"離地"，便是全部變樣就像我要求成立的兒童事務委員會般再不便是花了錢，但最終卻完全幫不上忙。
However without any genuine change in the power structure the planning we propose will turn out to be unrealistic or a completely different one―just like my demand for the establishment of a commission for children―or that it turns out to be entirely not helpful despite the money spent
這種改善民生的措施，我並不想要，我想要的是一個平等和公義的規劃過程，這樣才能真正幫助市民。
Measures for improving peoples livelihood of this kind are not what I desire . I wish to see a planning process that upholds equality and justice for only this can truly help the people
這種說法實屬錯誤，亦證明這位特首對問題視而不見、置若罔聞，明顯是無心無力。
Such a statement is wrong serving to show this Chief Executive obviously lacking both the will and ability is turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to the issue
這個制度最大的問題在哪裏？
What is the biggest problem of the OWPs system?
大家看看《基本法》第二十二條訂明由大陸來香港定居的人數，北京應該徵求特區政府的意見後才確定，是可以討論的；而《基本法》第二十二條沒有說香港沒有審批權。
Let us look at Article 22 of the Basic Law . It stipulates that the number of persons from the Mainland who enter Hong Kong for the purpose of settlement shall be determined by Beijing after consulting the Special Administrative Region Government meaning it is open to discussion . And Article 22 of the Basic Law does not rule out Hong Kongs vetting and approval authority
要做這件事並不需要修改《基本法》，但林鄭月娥完全視若無睹。
Getting this done does not require any amendment of the Basic Law but Carrie LAM chose to ignore it completely
最大問 題在於，香港有人覺得單程證制度實屬"清洗人口"。
The biggest problem is that in the eyes of some Hong Kong people the system amounts to population cleansing
與此同時，單程證對本港的房屋及醫療，尤其公屋的供應產生極大壓力。
Meanwhile the OWPs scheme is imposing enormous pressure on Hong Kongs health care and housing especially the supply of public housing
代理主席，這項辯論環節的主題是"改善民生"，事實上涉及非常廣闊的範疇，涵蓋房屋、衞生、食物及環境、扶貧、安老、少數族裔、退休保障和福利等。
Deputy President the theme of this debate session is Improving Peoples Livelihood . It actually covers a wide range of issues such as housing health food and environment poverty alleviation elderly care ethnic minorities retirement protection and welfare
對於新任特首或新一屆政府而言，這是好兆頭和好開始，亦可作為其政績的一個亮點，但其實還有另一方面的數據。
This is a good start for the new Chief Executive or the new - term Government as well as a highlight of her political achievements . However there is actually another figure we should also look at
