香港人 很希望香港政府為我們打破中國核電發展這個黑箱，為我們提供一些應得的資訊，而不是與中國政府一起蒙蔽我們，令香港市民對核電風險的意識一直處於低下水平。
I hope that the Hong Kong Government can provide us with the information we should have in order to smash this black box called nuclear power development in China rather than collaborating with the Chinese Government to blindfold Hong Kong people and keep our awareness of nuclear power risks at a low level
在聯合國《公民權利和政治權利國際公約》下，言論自由是一個很重要的元素，香港是這項公約的締約方之一，而《基本法》亦清楚保障了言論自由。
Under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of the United Nations ICCPR freedom of speech is an important element . Hong Kong is a party to ICCPR and the Basic Law also provides clearly for the protection of freedom of speech
當然，本港並未訂立資訊自由法，但這是一個負責任的政府應做的事。
We are of course aware that Hong Kong has not yet drawn up a freedom of information law but we need to point out this is something that a responsible government should do
我要做一個負責任的立法會議員，因此必須藉辯論財政預算案的機會告訴政制及內地事務局，如你們不負責任，我們必會追究。
We want to be responsible Legislative Council Members so we must make use of the opportunity of the Budget debate to tell the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau that if it does not take up the responsibility we will not let it go
我現在要忠告局方人員，如你們能聯絡中國相關單位如中國廣核集團，便應聯合香港的保安局、中電及環境局與之一同檢視大灣區內現有的最少10個核設施。
Let me advise the officials of the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau officers that if they can get in touch with the related units in China such as the China General Nuclear Power Group they should join hands with the Security Bureau CLP and the Environment Bureau in Hong Kong to inspect at least 10 existing nuclear facilities in the Bay Area
關於它們的興建程序、運作的定期報告、輻射監測形式和資訊、風向、核零件物流、核廢料及核燃料物流、應變機制、通報機制、賠償法規、停廠法規及程序、續牌法規及程序、知情權的保障法規、勞工及環境法規等，我認為政制及內地事務局有責任牽頭作出連繫，從而建立一套資訊機制。
Regarding regular reports on their construction processes and operation mode of radioactivity monitoring and information wind directions logistics of nuclear parts logistics of nuclear wastes and nuclear fuel contingency mechanisms reporting mechanisms legislation on compensation legislation and procedures on the shutting down of plants legislation and procedures on licence renewal legislation to protect the right of access to information legislation on labour and the environment etc I think the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau should take the lead in liaison so as to build up a set of information mechanism
我謹此陳辭，支持羅冠聰議員提出的第140號修正案。
With these remarks I support Amendment No . 140 moved by Mr Nathan LAW
梁議員，我動議講稿附錄1A編號2、3及4的修正案，包括：第一，議決為削減分目000而將總目21削減29,399,500元。
Mr LEUNG I move that Amendment Nos
當然，金額其實只是象徵性質，基本上，我們要回到整個財政預算案的討論。
Of course the amounts are actually just nominal and basically we have to come back to the discussion on the Budget as a whole
我在上次發言時已提到，立法會享有的權力不應只限於提出削減開支的建議。
As I said in my last speech the powers of the Legislative Council should not be limited to making proposals for reduction of expenditures
立法會是香港最重要的民意機構，是有最多市民參與、透過選舉而直接產生的機構，應該有權提出增加開支，而提出增加開支的要求，可以令整個香港特區政府的運作變得更貼近香港市民的心意。
The Legislative Council is the most important organization of public opinions in Hong Kong . It is a directly - elected organization returned by elections with the largest popular participation . It should have the power to increase expenditures and by proposing an increase in expenditures the entire operation of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region SAR can more closely keep tabs on the pulse of the people of Hong Kong
現在立法會沒有這項應有的基本權力，於是我們要透過提出削減開支來表達我們對現時體制的不滿。
Currently the Legislative Council does not have this due fundamental power and therefore we have to propose reduction of expenditures to express our dissatisfaction with the existing system
現時香港可謂實施行政主導，何謂行政主導？
At present Hong Kong practises an executive - led system so to speak
當然，那時根本沒有甚麼民主可言，在這過程中，整個香港政府的政策重心其實是要如何照顧這一群大財團、銀行、各方面的英資權貴的利益。
Certainly there was no democracy whatsoever to speak of at the time and in the process all the policies of the Hong Kong Government actually focused on how to look after the interests of a group of major consortiums banks as well as British tycoons on various fronts
至於行政會議，便是這一套殖民地制度的直接延伸。
As for the Executive Council it is exactly a direct extension of the colonial system
時至今時今日，大家可以看看行政會議的非官守成員名單，我們經常說香港在1997年後實行"一國兩制"及"港人治港"，但實際上，我相信我們如果真的要作出準確的描述，便只能說這個特區政府從英國殖民地承繼了由行政當局、大財團及銀行共同管治的這種脈絡。
Regarding the situation nowadays Members may take a look at the list of non - official Members of the Executive Council . While we say all the time that one country two systems and Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong have been implemented in Hong Kong after 1997 if we really have to make an accurate description of the reality I think we can only say that this SAR Government has inherited from the British colony a system of joint governance by the executive authorities major consortiums and banks
相反，現在的行政當局正正繼承了殖民時代的專權做法，以及以權貴的利益為核心的管治思維。
On the other hand the existing executive authorities have exactly inherited the despotic practices of the colonial era and the ruling mentality with the tycoons interests at its core
舉例而言，過去數年，行政長官經常說開發土地是重中之重，開發土地可以令市民的生活變得更好，令我們的居住環境變得更好。
For example over the past few years the Chief Executive has always said that land development is the most important of all priorities and that land development will enable the people to have a better life and improve their living environment
過去數年，有很多新增的土地供應，特別是私人發展方面的新增土地供應，但是，大家不要忘記，當梁振英上任時，他說新增土地供應是為了甚麼或預期會帶來甚麼效果呢？
In the past few years land supply has increased a lot especially for private development . But let us not forget that when LEUNG Chun - ying took office what did he say about the purpose and the effects expected of increasing land supply?
大家應該還記得，他說他預期樓價和租金不會劇烈飆升，我們可以有一個更容易置業的環境，租金亦不會達至要命的程度。
As Members should recall he said that he expected property prices and rents to not surge drastically that we could have the conditions to make home ownership easier and that rents would not be excruciating
特區政府的關鍵利益在哪裏？
Where lies the key interest of the SAR Government?
關鍵利益便是大財團和 銀行的利益，它怎會限制外國或中國的資本湧進香港不管是消費或作其他用途以免香港的樓市居高不下？
Its key interest is the interest of major consortiums and banks . So how possibly will it restrict capital from overseas or China from flowing into Hong Kong―whether for consumer spending or other purposes―in order that the property market of Hong Kong will not remain on the high side?
它會否做這些工夫呢？
Will it take such a step?
它不會做這些工夫，它一直欺騙香港市民，令他們產生錯覺，以為增加土地供應後，樓價便會下跌，結果增加土地供應原來是為了餵飽大財團，特別是來自北方的大財團。
No it will not and it has all along been deceiving the people of Hong Kong giving them an illusion that property prices will fall in tandem with an increase in land supply . But it eventually turns out that an increase in land supply is meant to feed up the major consortiums especially those coming from the North
這是完全失敗的政策，政府完全騙取了香港市民對它在這方面的政策的支持。
This policy is a complete failure . The Government has entirely cheated Hongkongers of their support for its policy in this respect
這便是行政長官很喜歡說的另一項政策綱領，即要大搞基建。
This has to do with another policy agenda that the Chief Executive likes to talk about a lot that is to carry out extensive infrastructure projects
我們犧牲了那麼多環境資源，既填海又刪去綠化地帶，結果換來的是甚麼？
We have sacrificed so much environmental resource in carrying out reclamations and removing green belts . What is the result?
把土地賣給地產商，特別是中資地產商，換來的是即使我們做數輩子人也無法負擔的樓價。
Land is sold to real estate developers especially Mainland developers and what we get in return is property prices that we would not be able to afford even if we live several lives
社會撕裂不是因為有人出來示威，而是因為行政當局延續了殖民地的獨斷作風，以為自己一定全對，而身邊則包圍着權貴。
Society is torn apart not because people have taken to the streets but because the executive authorities have followed the style of the colonist in acting arbitrarily and thinking that they are always right while being surrounded by the rich and powerful
"老兄"，現在已是2017年，很多西方國家已開始反省自己的代議民主是否可以進一步深化，令國民有更大的認同感。
Buddy it is already 2017 now and many Western countries have been reviewing their representative democracy to see if it can be further deepened so as to develop a stronger sense of identity among the people
我們在立法會內的權力固然應該增加，但整體而言，香港市民亦要真正成為這個城市的主人。
While our powers in the Legislative Council certainly should be enhanced from a broader perspective it is also imperative for the people of Hong Kong to really become the master of this city
我留意到朱凱廸議員剛才動議了他的3項修正案。
I have noticed that Mr CHU Hoi - dick moved his three amendments earlier on
我請委員注意，在每項辯論中，除了提出第一項修正案的議員須動議修正 案外，其餘提出修正案的議員，在現階段不可動議修正案。除非提出第一項修正案的議員不在席，我才會請下一位議員動議修正案。
I would like to draw Members attention to the point that in every debate only the Member proposing the first amendment should move his amendment whereas the other Members who have proposed amendments cannot move their amendments at this stage unless the Member who proposed the first amendment is not in the Chamber in which case I will call upon the next Member to move his amendment
今天，我想討論的是總目122。
Today I would like to talk about head 122
基本上，數位議員提出的修正案均涉及削減或取消香港警務處的各項開支。
Basically the amendments proposed by a number of Members involve reductions or cuts of various expenditures of the Hong Kong Police Force
我認為香港社會現行的制度，無論是在經濟、法律及自由度方面，仍然有很多優勢，仍然有一定的吸引力。
In my view the existing systems of Hong Kong society be it in the context of economy law or freedom still enjoy various advantages and are attractive in some measure
當我們批評現時的撥款項目時，我認為大家要從合理的角度出發，這可能更能說服公眾及持不同意見的同事。
When we criticize the existing expenditure items I think we have to be reasonable for this may be a better way to convince the public and Honourable colleagues holding different views
梁耀忠議員發言時提及多項民生議題，例如牙科，這也是我們一直關注的問題，所以我認為大家沒有很大分歧。
Mr LEUNG Yiu - chung talked about a number of livelihood issues in his speech such as dental care services which is also our constant concern . Hence I think our difference over this is not significant
鄭松泰議員提到要增加消防處的資源，我認為我們也認同消防開支一定要增加。
Dr CHENG Chung - tai mentioned that resources for the Fire Services Department FSD should be increased . I think we agree that the expenditure on fire services must be increased
我們討論撥款時，應要符合現實。
Any discussion on funding allocation should be conducted in context
我也計算過，由1927年至今，已有36名消防員殉職。
I have done some counting . From 1927 to date 36 firemen were killed on duty
我們亦深刻記得，去年、前年，甚至是在石硤尾火災中，也有消防隊目殉職。
It is deep in our memory that Senior Firemen were killed last year the year before and in the fire in Shek Kip Mei
因此，客觀而言，不論哪個行業也會有害群之馬，對嗎？
Hence to be objective there are black sheep in every sector . Am I right?
在那79天，我相信香港警隊已向國際社會展現了優秀和克制的一面，在高度壓力下，他們基本上沒有做錯。
During the 79 days I trust the Police had displayed their excellence and restraint to the international community and they had basically done nothing wrong despite the tremendous pressure
大家想想他們是如何遭人侮辱。
Come to think about what kind of insults they were subject to
我現在還記得，佔中發起人戴耀廷當日表明要癱瘓警隊，要讓多名警員抬走他們，讓警員抬到手軟，無法執法，然後中央便會就範，無緣無故的把警隊作為他打擊的對象。
I still remember now that Benny TAI who initiated the Occupy Central had indicated clearly on that day the desire to paralyse the operation of the Police by obliging a number of policemen to carry them away . He said that policemen would be exhausted by such removal of participants and could not enforce the law and then the Central Authorities would accede to their demands . Why did he have to make the Police the target of attack?
我們應如何處理這些問題，是否要特意令警民關係更惡化呢？
How should we deal with these issues? . Should we deliberately intensify the poor relationship between the Police and the public?
這對香港有好處嗎？
Is it good for Hong Kong?
他們的工作是維持治安。
They are responsible for maintaining law and order
大家有事時，還是要找警察協助。
When we are in distress we still have to seek assistance from the Police
大家知道他們是需要應有的尊重的。
We all know that the Police deserve due respect
我認為香港的法治社會，是由很多人數十年來一起努力建立的，警隊有很大的貢獻。
In my opinion the rule of law in Hong Kong society is established with the endeavour of a lot of people over the decades and the Police have made an enormous contribution
我認為香港警察已很努力。
I think the Hong Kong Police have worked hard
他們表示今時今日在香港擔任警察是很大壓力的，因為現在人權在香港是很重要的，他們也知道要克制，大家無謂要迫他們犯錯。
They say they have to face heavy pressure to be policemen in Hong Kong today for human rights are very important in Hong Kong now . They know they have to exercise restraint . We should not press them into making mistakes
我認為應將心比己，不要這樣做。
I think we should put ourselves in their position . We should not do such things
我認為警隊應要調查是哪些人做，是哪些人發動。
I think the Police should investigate it and find out who did that and who initiated the incident
至於購買水炮車一事，我知道一開始時曾被否決。
As for the procurement of the vehicles equipped with water cannons I know that it was negatived right at the beginning
在此，我再三呼籲，香港社會是一個合理的社會，我們不應鼓勵市民將警隊放在對立面，即使有政治理由，也不應這樣做。
In this connection let me make this appeal again . The Hong Kong community is a reasonable community and we should not encourage the public to confront the Police and this should not be done even if it is out of political reasons
警隊是維持治安的隊伍，我們應當珍惜香港的警隊，要將尊嚴還給他們，要給他們合理的工作環境，從而令優質年青人願意加入警隊。
The Police are a team maintaining law and order so we should treasure the Hong Kong Police Force and give them respect and a reasonable working environment so that quality young people will be willing to join the Police Force
不論是在法律、政策、公眾及青少年教育方面，我認為我們也有責任這樣做。
I think we are obliged to do so in terms of law policies and education of the public and young people
我希望大家不要因為政治理由而全盤否定我們的警隊。
I hope Members will not disapprove of the Police as a whole for political reasons
對所有這些削減項目，我絕對支持。
I absolutely support all of these reductions
現屆政府每年的財政預算案均予人一種感覺，便是全無新意，令人十分失望。
Every year the Budget of the current - term Government gives us the impression of a total lack of new ideas which is greatly disappointing
很多時候，我們批評政府即使有巨額盈餘，但應花不花，相信大家過往對於這現象已習已為常，見怪不怪。
We have criticized on many occasions that even though the Government hoards a huge surplus it does not spend money where it is due . I believe that in the past we already got used to this phenomenon and did not find it surprising
但實際上，大家不用多想，我說的所謂大手筆，其實是政府竟然動用6億4,000萬元作慶祝回歸的開支。
But actually we need not think too much about it . In fact the large sum mentioned by me refers to the spending of 640 million by the Government for celebrating the reunification
共有超過300項活動，但是，這300多項活動聽起來十分奇怪，其中包括"氣候變化跨課程專題比賽"，這竟然與回歸有 關，我真的想不通；還有"親子一日遊"，舉辦親子活動無妨，但說是為了慶祝回歸，我真的百思不得其解。
There are more than 300 activities in total but these 300 - odd activities sound quite weird . Among them there is the Cross - curricular Project Competition on Climate Change . How can this be related to the reunification?
這點才是最重要的，主席。
This is a most important point Chairman
原來有6,700萬元是宣傳費用，我很擔心，其實亦無需擔心，因為事實上，這些宣傳必定是為了粉飾太平，只展示我們美好的一面，壞的一面則完全不提。
But what will be displayed in the roving exhibitions? . It turns out that 67 million is publicity fees . I am worried but actually there is no need to worry because in fact the publicity will definitely aim at window dressing showing only our good side with no mention of the bad side at all
因為政府的宣傳和展覽是要讓社會人士知道原來香港一片繁榮，人人安居樂業，好像大家都中了六合彩般，全部高高興興。
Because the purpose of the Governments publicity and exhibitions is to tell people in the community that Hong Kong is very prosperous . Everyone lives in peace and works with contentment as though all of them have won the Mark Six Lottery . All of them are happy
不過，大家都知道這是極為"離地"的，而事實上，是"離地"得令大家有種羞耻的感覺。
However we know this is far detached from reality . In fact it is so detached from reality that it makes us feel ashamed
主席，你說政府是否真的"離地"和沒有廉耻？
Chairman the Government is really detached from reality and shameless is it not?
說到老人家，現時老人院舍宿位嚴重不足，每年有數千名長者輪候宿位直至離世也輪候不到，這樣是尊重他們嗎？
Talking about the elderly now the residential care places for the elderly are severely inadequate . Every year thousands of elderly people passed away while waiting for residential care places . Is this the way to respect them?
至於年青人，他們不斷面對壓力，有競爭的壓力，也有考試的壓力；考試對年青人構成重大壓力，而他們則變成考試機器。
As regards the young they face endless pressure . There is pressure from competitions and also pressure from examinations . Examinations have imposed enormous pressure on the young people and they have become examination machines
年青人經過多次考試，捱到畢業，以為畢業後找到工作便能組織新家庭，豈料畢業後，卻可能買不起樓，即使買得起，也會成為"樓奴"，幾乎一生一世為了供樓而工作，將自己的興趣和理想完全放在一旁，這樣還是否稱得上讓年青人有希望和理想呢？
After going through repeated examinations young people manage to hang on until graduation thinking that they will be able to start a new family after finding a job upon graduation . Yet after graduation they may not afford to buy a flat . Even if they can afford it they will become property slaves having to work for mortgage repayment almost all their lives putting their own interests and ideals completely aside
說出來，大家都會問這是否真的？
If it says such words we will ask if this is true
主席，就慶祝回歸的整個項目來說，我想問政府，究竟從1997年回歸至今這20年來，又或者不說那麼長的時間，只說剛過去的5年，究竟發生了甚麼事值得香港人開心呢？
Chairman regarding the entire project for celebrating the reunification may I ask the Government during these 20 years since the reunification in 1997 or if we just talk about the past five years instead of such a long period what has actually happened that can make Hongkongers happy?
有甚麼值得我們慶祝呢？
What is worth celebrating?
我先談談貧富懸殊的問題。
Let me first talk about the wealth gap
我們看到貧富懸殊的問題一年較一年嚴重，堅尼系數不斷攀升，由回歸前的0.518上升至現時的0.537，創歷史 新高。
We have seen the wealth gap become more and more serious year after year . The Gini coefficient keeps surging . It has risen from 0.518 before the reunification to 0.537 now hitting a new record high
貧窮人口亦不斷增加，突破了134萬人。
The poverty population also keeps increasing exceeding 1.34 million
有多少人住在"劏房"？
How many people live in subdivided units?
超過20萬人住在"劏房"。
Over 200 000
沒有，仍然只有5.7平方米，更有超過1,000人露宿街頭，受盡風吹雨打，日曬雨淋。
No it is still 5.7 sq m only . Also more than 1 000 people sleep in the streets suffering from the torture of the elements
另一方面，我看到人口老化問題日趨嚴峻，但政府對於人口老化問題有何政策？
Besides as I can see the problem of population ageing is becoming increasingly serious but what policy does the Government have in respect of population ageing?
政府可以很安樂地為16萬名公務員提供39間牙科診所，但110萬名長者卻只獲11間牙科診所提供服務，而且這些診所並非每天應診，每星期可能只開一至兩天，甚至只開半天。
The Government can comfortably provide 39 dental clinics for 160 000 civil servants but 1.1 million elderly people can be served by 11 dental clinics only . Moreover these clinics do not open every day . They may open only one or two days or even half a day a week
我們看不到政府動用公共開支來解決他們的問題，使他們能夠脫貧。
We did not see the Government make use of public expenditure to resolve their problems so that they can get out of poverty
住屋問題更不消說，現時樓價攀升的速度真的令人嘆為觀止、大開眼界，簡直比特首梁振英上位做政協副主席還要快。
The housing problem readily speaks for itself . Now the speed at which the property price spirals is really a stunning eye - opener . It is even faster than Chief Executive LEUNG Chun - yings climb to the position of Vice - Chairman of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference
我們看到現時的樓宇越建越高，樓價亦越來越昂貴，昂貴到不是一般人可以負擔得起。
As we can see now the buildings constructed have become higher and higher and so is the property price . It has become so expensive that it is not affordable to the ordinary masses
香港已經連續7年成為全球最難買樓的城市之一，樓價與入息比率高達35倍，遠遠拋離其他城市，即是說，一個收入為本地入息中位數的家庭，要不吃不花費35年，才買得起一個面積數百呎的單位。
For seven consecutive years Hong Kong has been one of the cities in the world where it is the least affordable to buy a home . The property price to income ratio has reached 35 leaving that in the other cities far behind . That is to say a family with a median household income has to refrain from eating and spending for 35 years before it can afford buying a flat with an area of several hundred square feet
這種情況已經到了人神共憤的地步。
This situation has already aroused widespread resentment
他上任接近5年，在這5年來，他最擅長搞政治鬥爭。
He has assumed office for nearly five years . During these five years he is most adept at stirring up political struggles
社會撕裂，社會的民怨不斷加劇，而行政立法關係前所未有地惡劣。
Society has been torn apart . Social grievances keep intensifying . The relationship between the executive and the legislature is worse than ever
他為求保護自身利益，採取各種不同手法不斷搞分化，製造社會矛盾，將香港弄至一團糟。
To protect his own interests he has employed all kinds of tactics to keep sowing dissensions and create social conflicts thus turning Hong Kong into a mess
事實上，"民不聊生、社會撕裂、政府無能"，就是這20年來的真實寫照，而在宣傳短片中，當然看不到實際情況。
As a matter of fact the people have no means of livelihood; society has been torn apart; the Government is incompetent . This is a true picture of these past 20 years . Of course we cannot see the actual situation in APIs
我們舉辦慶祝回歸 活動，只是歌舞昇平。
We organize celebration activities for the reunification simply to stage a show of peace and prosperity
其實，如果要真正面對回歸，我認為政府應該帶遊客去看看香港的真實情況，例如參觀"劏房"、探訪露宿者或參觀200多呎的"棺材房"，看看香港人的生活如何不受尊重，我覺得這些才是最重要的；又例如參觀橫洲、菜園村等地方，看看村民如何遭地產商和政府迫遷等，這些才是香港的真實情況，但宣傳短片當然不會展現這些情況。
In fact to really face the reunification I think the Government should take the tourists to see the real situation in Hong Kong . For example they can visit the subdivided units street sleepers or coffin - sized units of 200 - odd sq ft to see how the people of Hong Kong are not respected in their living . I consider that only these things are the most important
既然如此，為何我們要撥款給政府進行所謂"歌舞昇平"的宣傳呢？
This is the reality in Hong Kong but of course APIs will not reveal these situations . In that case why should we approve funding for the Government to carry out such publicity of staging a show of peace and prosperity?
主席，回歸20年，我剛才說過，有甚麼值得我們高興呢？
Chairman during the 20 years since the reunification as I said just now what has happened that can make us happy?
我們花費6億4,000多萬元舉辦慶回歸活動，令人感覺只是粉飾太平、歌舞昇平、不知所謂。
The spending of some 640 million on organizing activities for celebrating the reunification makes us feel that it is only window dressing staging a show of peace and prosperity which is meaningless
事實上，很多長者根本沒有良好的居所，智障人士亦沒有受到照顧和尊重，這些都是我們需要處理的。
As a matter of fact many elderly people do not have a decent dwelling place . Persons with intellectual disabilities are not being looked after or respected . This is something we need to deal with
如果這6億4,000萬元不是用來搞這些粉飾太平的活動，而是用來幫助這群人，情況便很不同。
If this 640 million is used to help this group of people rather than holding these window dressing activities the situation will be quite different
如果花在這些服務上，我覺得會有更多人"拍爛手掌"。
I think if it is spent on these services more people will give it a big hand
這筆錢，我覺得真的可以稱為"愚民開支"，"愚民"是愚蠢的"愚"，我覺得政府不應該再這樣做。
This sum of money in my view can really be called an expenditure to fool people . It is foolish . I think the Government should stop doing that
我認為政府，特別是特首梁振英，不應該再為"擦鞋"而花這麼多錢，浪費納稅人的公帑。
I consider that the Government particularly Chief Executive LEUNG Chun - ying should stop spending so much money on bootlicking wasting public coffers of the taxpayers
其實，說到"擦鞋"的情況，我覺得特首在"擦鞋"方面非常成功，因為在過去數年，大家可以看到，無論在施政報告或其他事情上，他經常"擦鞋"，不斷獻媚。
Actually speaking of bootlicking I consider the Chief Executive very successful in bootlicking because in the past few years we could see that be it in the Policy Address or other matters he kept bootlicking and sucking up
他月薪20多萬元，職責是扮演"小丑"及製造公關醜聞。
His monthly salary is some 200,000 and his duty is to act as a clown and create public relations scandals
梁振英用人的方式，我覺得一定是前無古人，但日後會否有人跟隨他的做法，就不得而知了。
The way LEUNG Chun - ying chooses someone for a job in my opinion is certainly unprecedented but whether anyone will follow his approach in the future is unknown
這些修正案旨在扣減政務司司長和財政司司長的薪酬開支，以及其辦公室和官邸的運作開支。
These amendments seek to reduce the expenses on the salaries of the Chief Secretary for Administration and the Financial Secretary and the operational expenses of their offices and official residences
對於這數項扣減和刪除有關開支的修正案，我全部支持。
I support all of these several amendments seeking to reduce and cut the relevant expenses
我先談談政務司司長。
I shall talk about the Chief Secretary for Administration first
她的職責直接影響特區政府的施政，對梁振英也影響甚大。
Her duties have a direct bearing on the administration of the Special Administrative Region SAR Government as well as significant impacts on LEUNG Chun - yin
我先談談政改。
Let me talk about the constitutional reform as a start
政改失敗，對香港人來說是一條很深的刺。
To Hongkongers the failure of the constitutional reform to come to fruition is a thorn very deep in their side
雖然政改失敗不單是政務司司長的責任，而在政府裏，梁特首應承擔最大的責任，不過，大家也知道，"政改三人組"以政務司司長為首，所以政務司司長難辭其咎。
Although the Chief Secretary for Administration alone should not bear full responsibility for the failure of the constitutional reform for within the Government LEUNG Chun - ying should bear the largest share of responsibility as we all know the Chief Secretary for Administration was at the helm of the constitutional reform trio so she could not absolve herself of all the blame
