究竟他們有何資格對"一地兩檢"進行法律挑戰呢？
On what basis can they pose legal challenges to the co - location arrangement?
這種態度的表述是否夜郎自大呢？
Is that not an evident mark of self - conceit?
高鐵將在今年9月開通，確保經濟和社會效益最大化，而《條例草案》必須在立法會本年度會期於7月完結前通過，時間已經非常緊迫，而反對派的種種行為明顯暴露其不真誠為香港服務的態度，以及不願意為香港"鋪橋搭站"的真正目的。
This September will see the commissioning of XRL to ensure maximization of economic and social benefits and the Bill must be passed by the end of the current session of the Legislative Council in July . Time is running short and the various acts of the opposition camp have clearly revealed their insincerity in serving Hong Kong and their true reluctance to facilitate the construction of bridges and stations for Hong Kong
不僅如此，這些反對派還想堵死香港的前路和後路，千方百計阻撓香港發展，不禁令人懷疑他們究竟居心何在。
In addition to this those from the opposition camp even attempt to block the way ahead and retreat for Hong Kong exhausting every means to impede the development of Hong Kong . We cannot but wonder what they are up to
代理主席，香港需要的是抱持真誠、真摯和真心態度的議員為香港服務。
Deputy President Hong Kong needs Members who serve Hong Kong sincerely earnestly and truthfully
要為市民作出貢獻，可以做的事情有很多。
There is much to do to make contribution for members of the public
如有意見分歧，大家可以充分表述，在這裏盡量以自己的才智、思維說服對方。
In case of disagreement we may present our arguments thoroughly trying our utmost to convince the other side with our intellect and lines of thought here
到最後，她醜陋的面孔亦會如她剛才所說般成為香港歷史的一部分。
In the end her ugly face will as she said earlier become part of Hong Kong history
我們需要的是展示我們最大的能耐和最好的才華，而非展示醜陋的面孔，留存歷史。
We have to demonstrate our greatest ability and best talents instead of imprinting our ugly face on history
在2016年10月，我們看見有些人根本不合規則，連作出宣誓的水平也未達到，而他們最終亦被"DQ"。
In October 2016 we saw some people actually act out of line not even able to take a proper oath and they were eventually DQ disqualified
我們所做的事必須符合香港的整體利益，以及香港整體市民所接受的傳統標準。
We must act in the overall interest of Hong Kong and in compliance with the traditional standards acceptable to Hong Kong people as a whole
因此，代理主席，我們需要的是真誠、真摯、真心為香港服務的議員，為市民做些有貢獻、有裨益、有建設性的事情。
Hence Deputy President we need Members who serve Hong Kong sincerely earnestly and truthfully doing constructive things that will mean contribution to and benefit members of the public
毋庸置疑，通過《條例草案》是重要的工作，我們務必完成。
Undoubtedly the passage of the Bill is an important task that we are obliged to accomplish
大律師公會直言，《條例草案》實際上是試圖在不重劃邊界的前提下，透過第6條的"推定條文"，以法律手段把原屬於香港特區的一部分，從香港特區的行政及司法管轄範圍中剔除，把該部分"脫港"，坊間直截了當稱之為"割地"。
HKBA put it bluntly that the Bill in effect is an attempt to exclude―or de - establish according to HKBA or simply cede as the popular saying goes―stopping short of a redraw of boundary an original part of Hong Kong from the executive and judicial jurisdiction of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR through the legal means of introducing a deeming provision in the form of clause 6 of the Bill
大律師公會認為，有關方案在《基本法》內並沒有憲制法律基礎和依據，也和不重劃邊界的法律後果自相矛盾。
HKBA held that the relevant proposal has no constitutional foundation or basis within the Basic Law and runs counter to the legal consequence of not doing a redraw of boundary
大律師公會強調，在西九龍站設立內地口岸區，與在深圳灣口岸設立港方口岸區，兩者有天淵之別。
There is stressed the HKBA a fundamental distinction between establishing a Mainland Port Area within the HKSAR and establishing a Hong Kong Port Area at the Shenzhen Bay Port
一方面，深圳灣港方口岸並不處於香港特區範圍內，深圳也沒有法律或憲法條款，訂明香港法例不得在深圳實施。
On the one hand the Shenzhen Bay Port is not situated within the HKSAR . And there is no legal or constitutional provision in Shenzhen to the effect that no Hong Kong law shall apply in Shenzhen
在人大常委會的授權下，深圳灣港方口岸區雖非香港特區的一部分，但在深圳政府及香港當局的協議下，該處可實施香港法例，這是香港特區管轄範圍和獲授權的擴充。
With the authorization from the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress NPCSC the Hong Kong Port Area at the Shenzhen Bay Port though not part of the HKSAR can be a place where the laws of the HKSAR apply under the agreement between the Shenzhen Government and the authorities of Hong Kong . This involves an augmentation of the jurisdictional scope and authority of the HKSAR
相反，西九龍站的內地口岸區所在地域，從來也是香港特區一部分。
The site in which the Mainland Port Area MPA of the West Kowloon Station WKS is located by contrast is part of the HKSAR at all times
《基本法》規定，除附件三訂明外，全國性法律不得在香港特區實施。《條例草案》第6條試圖以法理"脫港"的手段，繞過附件三引入內地全國性法律，在西九龍站內地口岸區指定範圍內實施，此舉無可避免會抵觸《基本法》。
While the Basic Law provides that no Mainland law shall apply to Hong Kong save under Annex III clause 6 of the Bill attempts to achieve otherwise by circumventing Annex III through the legal means of de - establishment so that Mainland laws can be implemented in a designated area within MPA of WKS which inevitably contravenes the Basic Law
全國性法律的延伸與香港的管轄權是否能遵守《基本法》及如何理解《基本法》第十八條和附件三的法律問題，並非透過中港雙方協議所能處理的問題。
Whether such an extension of the Mainland law and jurisdiction to Hong Kong is compliant with the Basic Law or the legal issues relating to the interpretation of Article 18 and Annex III of the Basic Law are not matters that can be dealt with through agreements between the Mainland and Hong Kong
按大律師公會的法理邏輯，基於《基本法》，香港不可能有"一地兩檢"，甚至連內地人員在特區範圍內進行"車上檢"或"預檢"也不可能，而必須進行"兩地兩檢"。
Based on the jurisprudential logic of HKBA the Basic Law precludes the implementation of not just a co - location arrangement in Hong Kong but even on - board clearance or pre - clearance conducted by Mainland officials within the HKSAR leaving a separate - location arrangement the only option
在成效這個關鍵問題上，大律師公會的 說法突然變得委婉，指出："就廣深港高鐵的可取性，其經濟裨益或可行性，並沒有特定立場"。
On the key issue of efficiency HKBA took a tactful turn in its discourse pointing out that it takes no position on the desirability the economic advantages and viability of the high - speed rail
法律界朋友經常形容《基本法》是一棵有生命的樹木，需要隨着時代發展而轉變。
Members of the legal sector often describe the Basic Law as a living tree that needs to evolve with the development of the times
然而，就我所見，在內地和香港的關係上，《基本法》就如同緊身衣，束縛及阻礙任何轉變。
Yet in respect of the relationship between the Mainland and Hong Kong the Basic Law from what I can see amounts to a straitjacket restraining and blocking any evolvement
我並非法律界人士，不能在此回應大律師公會的論點。
As an outsider of the legal sector I cannot respond to the arguments advanced by HKBA
日後，如果有人提出司法覆核，定會有能人可以作出具體回應。
In the event of judicial review in the future however I am sure some capable people will put forward a robust response
我長篇大論引述大律師公會的意見，無非想具體說明，在香港社會中確實存在一些看法，認為在《基本法》和"一國兩制"的安排下，香港特區地位特殊；為了維護香港這種獨特性，在實務上便得作出犧牲，以維護國際社會對我們的信心。
By quoting the opinion of HKBA at length I seek merely to specify the fact that there are indeed some people in Hong Kong society who hold that the HKSAR enjoys a special status under the Basic Law and the arrangement of one country two system and that such uniqueness of Hong Kong must be safeguarded at the expense of pragmatism so as to uphold the confidence of the international community in us
然而，這正是問題所在：我們墨守成規，拒絕因應實際情況變化而作出突破性應對，國際投資者對我們還會保持信心嗎？
This however is precisely where the problem lies Will international investors still have confidence in us if we stick to convention and refuse to make groundbreaking countermeasures in response to changes in actual circumstances?
這是否說明"一地兩檢"安排在香港獲廣泛民意支持？
Is it not proof that the co - location arrangement receives widespread public support?
市民反問，在現有制度框架下，香港究竟可多做些甚麼事？
What more members of the public wonder instead can Hong Kong do under the existing institutional framework?
國際投資者無論如何都會投向中國大陸，會否因為內地執法機關在香港的內地口岸區內執法，就選擇放棄乘坐高鐵，堅持乘坐飛機？
Will international investors who will flock to Mainland China one way or another insist on choosing a ride on a plane over XRL simply because the Mainland law enforcement agencies enforce their laws in the Mainland Port Area of Hong Kong?
這一刻我很期待，很想藉今天的機會將自己一直聽到的民意聲音帶進議會，讓一些仍然堅持反對《條例草案》，仍然繼續想以"拉布"形式拖垮整件事的反對派人士知道。
I have been looking forward to this moment and I hope to take this opportunity to bring into this Council the peoples voices that I have heard for a long time . I hope that such voices can be heard by Members of the opposition camp who still steadfastly oppose the Bill and who still wish to abort the whole project by filibustering
我仍然很記得，政府在2009年落實興建高鐵，到2010年1月立法會通過撥款，當時曾經有人包圍立法會。
I still remember clearly that the Government decided to construct the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL in 2009 and when the Legislative Council approved the construction funding in January 2010 some people besieged the Legislative Council Complex
其後，經歷工程延誤等不同情況，至9年後的今天，香港鐵路有限公司現已在試行營運廣深港高鐵香港段。
Now nine years on after a host of mishaps such as project delays the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL is finally conducting trial runs of the XRL Hong Kong Section
今年9月高鐵能否通車，除了取決於港鐵公司試運是否有足夠的工程安全品質監控外，立法會最後能否通過《條例草案》，完成"三步走"的最後一步，至關重要。
As regards whether XRL can be commissioned in September this year apart from depending on whether MTRCL can ensure sufficient project safety during the trial runs another vital factor is whether the Legislative Council can finally pass the Bill and complete the last step of the Three - step Process
此時此刻，希望大家可以回看高鐵香港段由建造、總站選址到"一地兩檢"等安排，其實都是在爭議聲中處理。
At this moment in time when we look back on the history of the XRL Hong Kong Section from its construction the selection of terminal site to the implementation of the co - location arrangement we will find that the whole process is rife with disputes
在不同時段，不少人透過立法會或其他平台，在這項工程花了真的很多時間和心力，包括審議法例、監督工程、與內地協商、鞏固法律基礎等方面，歷程足以寫成一本書。
At various stages many people had through the Legislative Council or other platforms devoted a lot of time and efforts on this project which included examining the legislation monitoring the works negotiating with the Mainland authorities and consolidating the legal basis . All their experiences can be compiled into a book
主席，我在今年3月下旬加入立法會，但多年來一直很關心高鐵香港段的興建和發展。
President even though I only joined the Legislative Council in late March this year I have paid very close attention to the construction and development of the XRL Hong Kong Section all these years
很多市民和街坊經常說，他們不明白為何聽了這麼多年，等了這麼多年，仍然在等？為何高鐵一直未能成事？
Many members of the public in the community wonder why they still have to wait after hearing about XRL for years and how come XRL is yet to be commissioned
主席，香港是一個多元化及有言論自由的社會，法案委員會經歷了17次會議、45小時討論，還有兩個公聽會也花了19小時，我有幸在當中有很多參與，聽取了很多公眾人士和團體代表對《條例草案》的意見。
President Hong Kong is a diversified society which values the freedom of speech . The Bills Committee has held 17 meetings lasting a total of 45 hours and two public hearings lasting 19 hours . I was fortunate enough to have participated in many of the meetings and heard the views expressed by members of the public and various deputations on the Bill
在審議《條例草案》的過程中，委員聽取及提出很多意見和問題，亦推動政府進行很多跟進及釐清的工作，例如在遇上突發和緊急事故時的聯絡機制，會否有口岸協商機制和聯絡員制度等。
During the scrutiny of the Bill members of the Bills Committee have taken on board many views and raised many questions . They also urged the Government to take follow - up actions and make clarifications such as the communication mechanism in case of emergencies and whether a consultation mechanism and liaison system will be set up at the Mainland Port Area and so on
來到二讀和三讀階段，我很希望《條例草案》順利獲得通過。
As the Bill is now being read the Second and Third time I look forward to the smooth and successful passage of the Bill
高鐵順利通車，最大的贏家一定是香港市民，因為我們終於可以向前多走一步。
If XRL is commissioned successfully the people of Hong Kong will be the biggest winner because we will finally be able to take a step forward
花了800多億元公帑，我們將會迎接在西九龍站實施"一地兩檢"的安排。
Having spent over 80 billion of taxpayers money we welcome the implementation of the co - location arrangement at the West Kowloon Station
我們在香港市中心乘坐高鐵，48分鐘可以到達廣州南，較長途的可以到達汕頭、廈門、上海和北京等10多個不同的內地城市。
We can take XRL in the city center and reach Guangzhou South Station in 48 minutes . If we wish to go further we can travel by high - speed rail to reach more than 10 Mainland cities including Shantou Xiamen Shanghai and Beijing
局長，現時市民在西九龍站購買直達內地不同城市的異地票，營運商要收手續費。
Secretary at present when we buy tickets at the West Kowloon Station to travel directly to various cities in the Mainland a service charge will be levied
我很希望局長繼續與內地單位磋商，讓高鐵票價可以稍為調低，在通車初期提供更多折扣優惠，以吸引更多乘客使用這條如此便捷的鐵路，也可以配合大灣區政策出台與火速發展，好讓我們更便利來往兩地。
I very much hope that the Secretary will keep on negotiating with the Mainland authorities to lower the XRL fare and provide more concessions at the initial stage after the commissioning of XRL so as to attract more passengers to use this convenient rail link . XRL can also tie in with the rapid development of the Bay Area to facilitate the travelling between the two places
背後更重要的意義，就是令140公里長的廣深港高鐵可以通車，將香港段26公里的高鐵網絡直接聯繫國內大灣區及更多重要城市，促進資金流、物流及兩地人民互聯互通及相互交流，當中所建立的聯繫及引來的發展和經濟商機是非常可觀的。
A more important purpose of the Bill is to enable the commissioning of the 140 km XRL connecting the 26 km Hong Kong Section directly to the transport network in the Bay Area and other important cities in the Mainland . It will facilitate the capital flow and logistics among different cities as well as the interconnection and exchanges between people of the two places . The economic development and business opportunities established will be rather impressive
主席，我明白有些反對派人士始終質疑《條例草案》背後的法律基礎，無論大家爭拗再久，我覺得也不可以解決支持和反對者彼此在理念上的分歧，但我希望大家也要聆聽一下大多數市民的聲音。
President I understand that some opposition Members still query the legal basis of the Bill . No matter how long we argue I think ideological differences between the opponents and supporters of the Bill cannot be resolved but I hope that we will listen to the voices of people in the majority
縱觀民調結果，市民普遍支持高鐵香港段的興建，並贊成現時"一地兩檢"的方案。
From the results of the surveys we can see that the public in general support the construction of the XRL Hong Kong Section and agree to the present co - location arrangement
至於有議員質疑《條例草案》違反《基本法》或與《基本法》有矛盾，便要麻煩局長多進行宣傳，向他們說明"一地兩檢"絕對符合《基本法》。
In view of the fact that some Members query that the Bill has violated the Basic Law or is in contravention of the Basic Law the Secretary has to make effort to conduct more publicity to convince them that the co - location arrangement is in total conformity with the Basic Law
市民十分希望可以在短期內乘搭高鐵，特別是很多居住於九龍西的市民向我反映，詢問何時能夠乘搭高鐵。
Members of the public very much hope that they can take XRL soon . In particular many residents in West Kowloon have asked me when they can travel by XRL
我相信，接着將會出現"高鐵熱"。
I believe an XRL fever will soon emerge
所以，我不贊成有修正案提出，將要制定的法例拖延至刊憲日的1年後才生效。
Hence I oppose the amendment to delay the commencement date of the Ordinance for one year after the enacted Ordinance is published in the Gazette
我相信這是市民絕對不能接受的。
I believe this amendment is absolutely unacceptable to the public
此外，有同事質疑民建聯的調查結果有誤導性，又說支持西九龍站設"一地兩檢"的市民的比率不足七成，要達到九成、十成才對。
Some colleagues have queried if the survey results of DAB were misleading . They said that fewer than 70 % of the respondents supported the co - location arrangement at the West Kowloon Station and the support rate should be 90 % or even 100 %
其背後的目的很簡單，便是因人廢言，不接受現實。
Their purpose is very simple they reject the results on account of the organizing body and they refuse to accept the reality
我只想由衷說一句，法律觀點十分重要，但民意同樣重要。
I wish to say with all sincerity that though legal views are very important public views are equally important
人大常委會就確認特區政府和廣東省政府簽訂的《合作安排》而作出的《決定》，認為"一地兩檢"的安排合乎國家憲法和《基本法》。
According to the Decision of NPCSC to confirm the Co - operation Agreement signed between the HKSAR Government and the Government of the Guangdong Province the co - location arrangement conforms to the Constitution of China and the Basic Law
就我看來，在"一國兩制"之下，"一地兩檢"已經得到最穩妥的法律基礎支持。
As I see it under one country two systems the co - location arrangement is built on the soundest legal basis
我絕對認為他們的做法浪費時間。
I absolutely think that they are wasting time
主席，作為九龍西區的立法會議員，我想談談對高鐵香港段通車後的期望。
President as a Legislative Council Member from the Kowloon West geographical constituency I wish to talk about my expectation of the XRL Hong Kong Section after its commissioning
在4月下旬，我曾以法案委員會委員身份參觀西九龍站。
I visited the West Kowloon Station in my capacity as a member of the Bills Committee in late April
從簡介了解到，港鐵公司估算每天約有109,000人乘搭高鐵往返香港段，平均每小時有五六千人出入西九龍站。
According to the brief introduction given by MTRCL it was estimated that about 109 000 passengers would be travelling on the Hong Kong Section every day meaning that on average some 5 000 to 6 000 people would enter and leave the West Kowloon Station each hour
我對此十分緊張，希望西九龍站的交通配套可以做得更好。
I am quite concerned about that and hope that the ancillary transport facilities in the vicinity of the Station will be better planned
數千人同時出入高鐵車站，究竟有多少人會乘搭港鐵、的士或旅遊巴？
Among the thousands of people entering and leaving the Station at the same time how many will take the MTR taxi or coach?
高鐵開通營運初期，運輸及房屋局和運輸署可否成立一個專責小組，監督和應對突發情況？
At the initial stage after the commissioning of XRL will the Transport and Housing Bureau and the Transport Department form a task group to monitor and handle emergencies?
主席，最後，我認為如果立法會順利通過《條例草案》，會是一個重要的里程碑。
President lastly if the Bill is successfully passed I think it will be an important milestone
政府仍然須就很多協調機制，包括優化票務安排等與內地磋商。
The Government still has to negotiate with the Mainland authorities on a number of coordination mechanisms such as improving the ticketing arrangements
磋商一旦有結果，政府便要開誠布公，向立法會匯報。
Should any results be reached the Government should make public and report them to this Council
在高鐵測試運行期間，如港鐵公司發現任何不尋常的情況，也一定要向公眾作出交代。
During the trial runs of XRL if any anomalies are found MTRCL must give an account to the public
若高鐵服務開通後遇到營運、人員往來、內地與香港司法管轄權的執法爭議、內地口岸區或車站月台安全措施等問題，民建聯承諾會繼續積極跟進。
After the commissioning of XRL if there are any disputes arising from the operation interactions between people law enforcement disputes concerning Mainland and Hong Kong jurisdictions as well as safety measures in the Mainland Port Area or station platforms DAB pledges to follow up proactively
我亦期望政府和港鐵公司一定要繼續提高透明度，定期到立法會匯報高鐵香港段的營運情況。
I also expect that the Government and MTRCL will continue to increase their transparency and report on a regular basis to the Legislative Council the operation of the XRL Hong Kong Section
代理主席，其實"一地兩檢"的爭議關鍵並非在於廣深港高鐵是否方便，或者香港人是否不喜歡高鐵的問題。
Deputy President the dispute about the co - location arrangement is not whether it is convenient to travel by the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL or whether Hong Kong people like XRL
我相信任何交通工具若能便利大家出行，很多市民都會樂意使用。
I believe that many people will gladly use any means of transport as long as they can facilitate their travelling
可能有人覺得不重要，便捷就可以，但有人則覺得事態嚴重，牽涉到究竟全世界如何看香港"一國兩制"的實施情況。
Some may find this arrangement unimportant and convenience is all that matters but some people opine that the matter is very serious indeed as it affects how the whole world look at the implementation of one country two systems in Hong Kong
當局不能說："你相信我吧，相信中國憲法吧"便能釋除香港人和國際社會的疑慮。
The Administration cannot dispel the concerns of Hong Kong people and the international community by saying Please believe me and believe the Constitution of China
香港是一個國際城市，亦是全中國獨一無二、有其獨特優越性的城市，所依賴的是與國際社會的連繫，以及《基本法》對香港的保障。
Hong Kong is an international city and a unique city in China; its superiority comes from its connection with the international community and the protection accorded to it by the Basic Law
如果這些保障一點一滴地被抹去，自然會令香港人和國際社會質疑香港能否繼續有效實施"一國兩制"。
If this protection is eroded bit by bit Hong Kong people and the international community will naturally query if one country two systems can still be effectively implemented
有了質疑後，可能不是今天，亦未必是明天便會出現變化，可能會因短期利益而將變化掩藏，但隨着時間過去，這些影響終究會逐步浮現。
Once there are such doubts changes may not arise today or tomorrow or changes may be disguised by short - term benefits but with the passage of time such impacts will eventually surface
但是，這次連釋法也不用，人大常委會直接將《合作安排》的框架放諸香港，在香港立法實施，這開了很壞的先例，令大家憂慮到將來會如何？
However in the present case NPCSC did not bother to interpret the Basic Law but directly imposed the framework of the Co - operation Arrangement on Hong Kong and then went ahead with the local legislation process . This sets a very bad precedent making people worry about what the future holds
答案當然是，因為局長說過這條例是本地法例，香港法院自然有司法管轄權，審議該條例是否符合《基本法》的規定。
The answer is certainly in the affirmative . As stated by the Secretary the Ordinance is a local law and naturally courts in Hong Kong have the jurisdiction to decide whether the Ordinance is in conformity with the Basic Law
換言之，當有人對該條例提出司法覆核時，我們很自然要面對另一次的釋法風波。
In other words if someone initiates a judicial review on the Ordinance we will have to face another dispute over the interpretation of the Basic Law
這不禁令人懷疑，即使特區政府和中央政府很審慎地處理"一地兩檢"的安排，退一萬步，假設他們想不到任何方法，可以定出一個概括的情況，最終仍可能要對人大常委會的決定以釋法形式處理，這不是危機嗎？
We cannot help but wonder even if the SAR Government and the Central Government have handled the co - location arrangement in a prudent manner and assuming that they cannot find an umbrella solution that covers all possible outcomes they may eventually have to seek interpretation of the Basic Law concerning the NPCSCs decision
倘若連這一點都做不到，我們憂心的是，究竟特區政府在"一地兩檢"上是否與中央政府"打龍通"，走了這一步棋後引來司法覆核，藉司法覆核造成釋法的需要，繼而將現時這種非常局限的情況引申至更廣泛的情況。
Will this lead to a crisis? . If this cannot be done we are worried whether the SAR Government will collaborate with the Central Government in respect of the co - location arrangement and make this move so as to incite a judicial review and hence make it necessary for NPCSC to interpret the Basic Law . In so doing it can extend the present restrictive measure to a broader application
因此，民主黨有一個基本理論，就是"一地兩檢"在西九龍站實施，會引來釋法風波，影響"一國兩制"。
Hence the Democratic Party basically thinks that the implementation of the co - location arrangement at the West Kowloon Station will lead to the interpretation of the Basic Law which will in turn affect one country two systems
面對這衝擊，如果連《基本法》第十八條也守不住，全國性法律就可以隨意通過某些機制在香港實施。
When facing such kind of challenge if Article 18 of the Basic Law cannot be upheld national laws can be enforced in Hong Kong at will through a certain mechanism
這些令我們憂心的事，並非高鐵帶來的所謂好處和便捷所能彌補的。
This is what we are worried about and such concerns cannot be alleviated by the so - called benefits or convenience
明顯不是，價格的差距、出發地點的選擇，實際上均不會如局長所預計，全香港730萬人都會以高鐵作為往來大灣區、珠江口或廣州以南地點的唯一交通工具，更不要說是全國了。
Obviously he cannot . Taking into account the differences in fares and points of departure not all 7.3 million Hong Kong people will travel by XRL to the Bay Area the Pearl River Estuary or places south of Guangzhou let alone the whole country
要乘高鐵前往全國，有13對列車會在香港出發，但從其他地點出發可能須在廣州南站或深圳北站轉車。
There will be 13 train pairs departing from Hong Kong to other places in China but if one is to depart from other places he might have to interchange at the Guangzhou South or Shenzhen North Stations
特區政府和保皇黨經常指，內地現時要推動大灣區經濟發展，所以"1小時生活圈"很重要。
The SAR Government and the royalists always attach great importance to the one - hour living circle given that the Mainland is now promoting the economic development in the Bay Area
我不相信作短途旅程的香港市民，會緊張到非要"一地兩檢"不可。
I do not believe that Hong Kong people taking short - haul journeys are very anxious about the implementation of the co - location arrangement
在西九龍站辦好所有通關手續是否他們最重要的考慮？
Is it their prime concern that immigration and customs clearance must be completed at the West Kowloon Station?
如果特區政府與保皇黨、建制派認為香港應該完全融入"大灣區"，無須繼續保存其獨一無二的特色，這正好就是我們之間意識形態的最大分別。
If the SAR Government royalists and the pro - establishment camp think that Hong Kong should integrate completely into the Bay Area and needs not maintain its uniqueness that is exactly our biggest difference in ideology
屆時，即使我們在此聲嘶力竭，說甚麼本土和香港本位，可能已經太遲了。
By that time no matter how we shout ourselves hoarse about Hong Kongs distinctive features it will be too late
當我們成為"灣區人"時，香港的角色和地位會變成怎樣？
When we become citizens of the Bay Area what will be the role and status of Hong Kong?
是否通過"一地兩檢"的實施，使香港提早完成其歷史任務，使我們變成了"灣區人"，到時很多煩惱也不會再出現？
Will all troubles be gone by making Hong Kong fulfil its historic mission in advance through the implementation of the co - location arrangement and turning Hong Kong people into citizens of the Bay Area?
這便是民主黨最不可以接受的事情。
This is what the Democratic Party refuses to accept
因為"一國兩制"就是保障香港最重要的屏障，我們必須捍衞......
One country two systems is Hong Kongs most important shield that we must defend
我今天是帶着極沉重的心情就《廣深港高鐵條例草案》的二讀辯論發言，因為立法會又會多一頁"黑歷史"，就是在2018年6月通過一項違法、違憲及嚴重違反《基本法》的《條例草案》。
Today I am speaking on the Second Reading debate of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link Co - location Bill the Bill with a very heavy heart because the Legislative Council has one more page of dark history and that is the passage of the Bill in June 2018 which is unlawful unconstitutional and in serious contravention of the Basic Law
