我今天的倡議只是一項拋磚引玉的方案，希望大家能集思廣益，群策群力，共同為下一代有更美好的人生而出謀獻策。
I deeply believe that the baby fund can definitely bring hope to our next generation . My advocacy today merely seeks to throw a sprat to catch a mackerel . I hope Members can draw on collective wisdom make concerted efforts and think up suggestions to enable the next generation to enjoy a better life
主席，首先，我十分多謝各位發言的議員，也十分多謝何啟明議員提出修正案。
President first of all I thank Members for their speeches and Mr HO Kai - ming for proposing the amendment
有時候，假如議員提出的不是"即食麪"，或不是要求政府立刻"派錢"的議案，而是一些非常遙遠的方案，很多人也不會感興趣，又或會盡量"潑冷水"；但不要緊，如果我們經過多年考慮而得出有利社會、有利下一代的方案，儘管有不同的看法，我們仍然會堅持。
When Members propose motions on long - term planning which are not instant noodles or not requesting the Government to dish out money immediately people may not be interested or will throw a wet blanket on them . But it does not matter . We will insist on proposals came up after years of consideration which are beneficial to society and the next generation despite the different views
我十分多謝何啟明議員潤飾我提出有關"嬰兒基金"的建議。
I thank Mr HO Kai - ming for refining my proposal on a baby fund
事實上，這個"嬰兒基金"也是我們民主建港協進聯盟在2014年對政府的施政期望，即使在今年，我們亦有向下任特首提出這個施政期望。
In fact a baby fund is the expectation of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB for the implementation of policies by the Government in 2014 . We have also raised this expectation with the next Chief Executive this year
何啟明議員在修正案中提出基金的注資方式和來源，就這一點，我們也是比較同意的。
We tend to agree with the capital injection and funding sources of the fund proposed by Mr HO Kai - ming in his amendment . Insofar as the two levels of baby fund that he proposed I think it is worth consideration in the long run
至於他提出將"嬰兒基金"分為兩個層面，我認為長遠是可以考慮的，大家可以共同研究，始終現時政府在社區對幼兒的照顧非常缺乏，而基層家庭的父母一方面要工作，另一方面又要尋找方法照顧子女，我們過去也經常接獲不少街坊的投訴。
Studies can be done together . After all there is a serious lack of community child care by the Government at present . Parents of grass - roots families have to work and seek ways to take care of their children at the same time
不過，我今天的倡議，是集中要求政府首先設立個人層面的"嬰兒基金"，讓我們下一代可以切切實實地受惠。
This is an issue on which we have received many complaints from the public . Nevertheless my proposal today focuses on urging the Government to establish a baby fund at the personal level so that our next generation can actually benefit from it
何啟明議員的修正案提出應該為供款家庭和供款的第三方提供稅務寬減，我們認為這建議也不錯，因為可以增加父母供款的誘因，令個人"嬰兒基金"的儲蓄更為穩健。
Mr HO Kai - ming proposed in this amendment that tax deduction be provided for families and third parties making contributions . We think this is not a bad idea because it can provide an additional incentive for parents to make contributions and thus make the savings in the personal baby fund even more stable
因此，我們民建聯支持何啟明議員提出的修正案。
Therefore DAB supports the amendment proposed by Mr HO Kai - ming
主席，成立"嬰兒基金"是一個很長遠的計劃，所以，我今天並不是動議一項議案，而是提出一項倡議。
President the establishment of a baby fund is a plan for the very long term . Therefore it is not a motion but an advocacy that I have proposed today
"嬰兒基金"是未來的基金。
A baby fund is a fund for the future
其實這1,000億元的撥款，我建議交給金融管理局監管和投資。
In fact for this fund of 100 billion I suggest that it be handed to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority for monitoring and investment
每位出生的小朋友也只是有一小筆錢，讓他們未來想到人生計劃時，不會覺得自己一無所有。
Every child at birth is given only a small sum of money so that when they plan for their life in future they will not feel that they have nothing to start with
這一小筆錢，能為香港每個孩子帶來希望。
This small sum of money can bring hope to every child in Hong Kong
我希望大家就這項議題繼續給予不同意見，我只是提出拋磚引玉的方案，希望大家支持。
I hope that Members will continue to made various opinions on this issue . This proposal that I have made is only a sprat thrown to catch a mackerel . I hope Members will support this motion Thank you Members
主席，剛才聽到有同事說，"倡議成立'嬰兒基金'"這議案是意願良好、無視市場及簡單化。
President just now I heard an Honourable colleague say that while the motion on Advocating the establishment of a baby fund is well - intentioned it has overlooked market operation and simplified the issues
我覺得這些批評完全不設實際。
I consider such criticisms completely unrealistic
主席，我相信大家也很明白，直到今天，我們仍然面對着如何令政府有更多政策配合，令嬰兒在出生後可以健康成長的議題。
President I believe Members are well aware that today we still face the issue as to how we may urge the Government to introduce more policies to facilitate the healthy upbringing of babies after birth
便是就業和生活壓力大，養育小朋友的成本增高，新一代家庭觀念改變，這些都是本港生育率屬全球最低的主要原因。
They include heavy pressure of employment and livelihood increased costs of raising children and a change in the concept of family among the new generation which are the major factors contributing to Hong Kong being the place with the lowest fertility rate in the world
我們屬發達地區，出生率低及人口老化的問題尤為嚴峻。
As a developed region Hong Kong faces particularly acute problems of a low fertility rate and population ageing
香港的社會氣氛並不鼓勵年青人生育。
The social atmosphere of Hong Kong gives no incentive for young people to have children
由於工時長、收入低，加上年青人面對經濟困難或各種原因，最重要的是對前途沒有信心，因而對生育沒有信心。
Young people have no confidence in raising children due to long working hours and low income coupled with the financial difficulties they face or various factors and most importantly dim prospects in their eyes
所以，大家不難理解為何香港是全球最長壽的地方，亦是全球其中一個出生率最低的地方。
Hence we will not find it difficult to understand why Hong Kong is the place with the longest life expectancy and among those with the lowest fertility rate in the world
我們可以預期，香港將會出現本地勞動力不足，以及嚴重的人口老化問題，香港的人口政策將面臨重大挑戰。
We can expect to see the emergence of a shortage of local manpower and a serious problem of population ageing in Hong Kong posing an enormous challenge to our population policy
故此，特區政府必須想盡辦法，未雨綢繆，提供更大的誘因，鼓勵市民生育。
Hence the SAR Government must exhaust every possible means to make preparations for the future offering greater incentives to encourage childbirth
主席，香港是一個富裕的社會，我們的政府也是一個富裕的政府。
President Hong Kong is an affluent society and our Government is also an affluent government
根據政府的數據，特區政府的財政儲備已接近1萬億港元。
According to government data the fiscal reserves of the SAR Government stand at nearly 1,000 billion
我認為我們必須善用公帑，還富於民，利用公帑針對性地解決一些社會問題，並且為香港作出長遠布局。
I think we must use public money properly return wealth to the people find targeted solutions to some social ills with public money and formulate long - term planning for Hong Kong
我認為，蔣麗芸議員提出的"嬰兒基金"建議，正正是一種還富於民的手段，也是一種積極鼓勵更多年青人生育的辦法。
In my view Dr CHIANG Lai - wans proposal for a baby fund is precisely a means to return wealth to the people and a way to actively encourage more young people to have children
根據蔣麗芸議員的建議，當"嬰兒基金"設立後，每名在香港出生的嬰兒於出生首年便會注資1萬元作為個人儲蓄戶的創始金額，然後每年當政府有財政盈餘時，便再向合資格兒童注資，上限為4,000元，直至18歲為止。
According to Dr CHIANG Lai - wans proposal upon establishment of the baby fund a sum of HK10,000 will be injected into a personal savings account as the initial deposit of each newborn baby in Hong Kong in the first year after birth . Then every year when the Government records a surplus it will again inject money into the accounts of eligible children up to a ceiling of 4,000 until the age of 18
有關的基金在18歲後可用作治療危疾、進修及置業用途。
The fund may be used for treating critical illnesses further studies and home acquisition after the age of 18
表面看來，每名嬰兒注資1萬元，然後每年最多注資4,000元，好像是一筆大數目，但大家不妨用計算機計算一下，倘若香港維持現時的生育水平，即每年有大約6萬名嬰兒出生，政府每年其實只需要為這6萬名嬰兒注資6億港元，以香港現時1萬億元的財政儲備，絕對有承擔能力。
On the face of it if a sum of 10,000 is to be injected for each baby to be followed by an annual injection capped at 4,000 it will be a substantial amount . But Members may do some calculations with a calculator . If the fertility rate of Hong Kong remains at the present level with about 60 000 newborn babies every year actually the Government will only need to inject HK600 million for these 60 000 babies annually
我們可預見，未來香港長遠面對生育率低，本地勞動人口短缺，人口嚴重老化，屆時可能須投入更大的社會成本，也未必能夠處理隨之而來的各種社會問題。
Given that the fiscal reserves of Hong Kong stand at 1,000 billion at present we can absolutely afford it . We can foresee that in the future Hong Kong will face a low fertility rate a shortage of local labour and serious population ageing in the long run which may add to our social costs by then and we may still be unable to cope with the various social problems that follow
與其屆時亡羊補牢，不如現在未雨綢繆，刺激生育率上升。
It would be better to make preparations for the future now by boosting the fertility rate than take remedial actions when it is already too late
從這個角度出發，我覺得"嬰兒基金"的支出對社會可謂更有價值。
From this perspective I think it is more worthwhile to spend on a baby fund community - wise
我們認為，兒童基金的開支是投資未來。
In our view to invest in a child fund is to invest in the future
基金除了可以調整人口結構，改善人口老化，亦可以解決青年發展、跨代貧窮的問題。
In addition to adjusting the demographic structure and alleviating population ageing the fund can also address such issues as youth development and cross - generational poverty
有關基金將會是未來主人翁人生的第一筆儲備，基金的用途廣泛，包括進修、置業，以至應付嚴重危疾的醫療費用，這些都是年青人在人生旅途上首個重要階段。
The fund will be the initial endowment for our future masters in their life serving multiple purposes including further studies home acquisition and coping with the medical expenses for critical illnesses . All of these are the important firsts of young people in their journey of life
我們經常說，年青人無前景、無希望。
We have this pet phrase of youngsters having neither prospect nor hope
兒童基金可以為年青人發展提供多一個台階。
A child fund can offer an additional platform for youth development
社會及早為年青一代積聚財富，使來自不同階層的年青人有更多發展機會，有助他們更積極籌劃人生，規劃未來的個人發展，使年青人對於未來不但存有盼望，且能更踏實地在成長階段中朝着人生目標逐步邁進。
Early accumulation of wealth for the younger generation by the community and provision of more development opportunities for young people from different strata will motivate them to be more active in planning their life and drawing up personal development plans for the future so that young people will not only hold hope for the future but also make headway toward their life goals step by step in a more pragmatic manner during their upbringing
我們相信，這不但有助年青人更專注地發展未來，亦能做好我們經常強調的生涯規劃或人生規劃，亦能令社會注入更多正面和積極的正能量。
We believe it will not only help get young people become more focused on their future development but also facilitate good career or life planning often stressed by us and provide more positive vibes for creating a positive and upbeat social atmosphere
我知道現時政府設有"兒童發展基金"，其中目標儲蓄部分的構思與我們民主建港協進聯盟的建議相似。
I am aware of the Child Development Fund already put in place by the Government of which the idea of targeted savings is similar to the proposal made by us in the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB
據我所知，計劃極受歡迎，但覆蓋面太少，亦有參與資格的要求，而且每個季度只有3,000個名額。
As far as I know while the projects are well - received their coverage is limited with eligibility requirements and a quarterly quota of 3 000 children only
由於為期只有兩年，雖然可以在一定程度上培養小朋友的儲蓄習慣，但金額只足夠小朋友完成一個心願，而未能夠做好規劃，亦不算是長遠投資。
Given its duration of only two years while it may help children develop a habit of keeping savings in some measure children are only able to make one wish come true with such an amount but unable to do proper planning and it cannot be seen as a long - term investment either
事實上，我們現時看到，周邊地區及國家都會提供不同的獎金等鼓勵生育的措施。
In fact now we can see that neighbouring regions and countries have put in place measures to boost their fertility rates such as a wide range of monetary incentives
單說類似兒童發展基金的措施，我們知道新加坡、韓國及台灣也已經實施。
Let me just talk about measures similar to the Child Development Fund . We know that such measures have already been implemented in Singapore Korea and Taiwan
相對於新加坡在2001年實施，韓國在2007年實施，香港現在才討論，已經落後了很多。
Compared with Singapore and Korea where such measures were implemented in 2001 and 2007 respectively Hong Kong is lagging far behind as our discussion has just started now
不過，香港現時的情況正是這樣，事事均落後於人，立法會事事也"拉布"，拖延所有政策，所以，我們不要再浪費時間。
But this is the prevailing trend in Hong Kong lagging behind others on virtually every front . Filibustering is a common sight in the Legislative Council thereby delaying the whole policymaking process . Hence we should waste no more time
就民建聯這項建議，我們其實是很心急的，希望社會能夠盡快達成共識。
In fact for this proposal put forward by DAB we can barely wait for its passage hoping that a consensus may be reached in the community as early as possible
主席，我再強調，兒童基金是投資未來，支出最終全部用在香港人身上，最終受惠的是我們的下一代，為了香港未來的福祉，值得好好研究和考慮。
President let me reiterate that a child fund is an investment in the future . All the money spent on it will eventually be ploughed back into Hong Kong people ultimately benefiting our next generation . For the future well - being of Hong Kong it is worth careful study and consideration
主席，我謹此陳辭，支持蔣麗芸議員的議案及何啟明議員的修正案。
With these remarks President I support Dr CHIANG Lai - wans motion and Mr HO Kai - mings amendment
香港政府經常要求香港人增值、發展和創新，無疑香港為發展而發展的意識形態，政府是最大的建構者。
The Hong Kong Government always asks Hongkongers to add value develop and innovate . Undoubtedly the Government is the greatest constructor of the ideology that promotes development for the sake of development
慢生活並非慢吞吞地生活，而是教我們讓生活的節奏慢下來，並以一種正確的速度來生活。
Slow living does not refer to conducting our life in a slow pace but teaches us to let the pace of our life slow down and approach life with a correct attitude
慢生活並非呼籲我們放棄自我、無所事事或不事生產，亦不是支持我們怠惰或"泵波鐘"拖延時間，而是要我們有一種張弛有度的生活哲學，讓我們活在平衡當中。
Slow living does not ask us to give up ourselves sit idle or be unproductive nor does it support slacking or procrastination . It encourages us to embrace a reasonably flexible philosophy of living so that we live in a balance
歐美有很多國家在20多年前已推動這種慢生活運動，並且設立了國際慢城組織。
Many European countries and the United States started promoting the slow movement 20 years ago and set up Cittaslow International
在2014年，全球已有29個國家及189個城市加入這個組織，包括英國、澳洲、中國及韓國。
As at 2014 29 countries and 189 cities all over the world have joined the organization including the United Kingdom Australia China and Korea
而所謂"慢城"，是指在文化、保育、交通、環境、教育、飲食、旅遊接待、運動、生活作息等不同方面均推行一種慢的概念。
The so - called slow cities promote a concept of slow pace in various aspects such as culture conservation transport environment education food tourism and hospitality sports and daily routine
其實，在中國人的文化裏，我們經常也聽到類似的說法："慢行"、"慢用"、慢慢歎"、"慢慢試"、"慢慢做"、"慢慢講"等。
In fact in Chinese culture we often hear similar expressions such as walk slowly eat slowly enjoy slowly try slowly do slowly speak slowly etc
慢活並非要完全推倒高科技帶來的生活便利和高效，而是提醒我們：生活是否可以不一樣呢？
Slow living does not completely overthrow the convenience and efficiency brought by high technology but reminds us to think if living can be different
而踏單車便是"慢活"的一個最佳例子。
And cycling is the best example of slow living
很可惜，香港政府對單車的思維真的很有問題。
Unfortunately the Hong Kong Government has a problematic idea about bicycles
香港一直無法與國際接軌，成為單車城市，這跟香港政府如何看待單車有莫大關係。
The reason for Hong Kongs inability to converge with the international community in terms of becoming a bicycle city has a lot to do with how the Hong Kong Government looks at bicycles
即使單車屢次創造香港傳奇，從洪松蔭、黃金寶、黃蘊瑤到李慧詩，一代接一代的香港單車運動員，把香港單車運動地位推向國際舞台。
Bicycles have created Hong Kong legends one after another from HUNG Chung - yam WONG Kam - po Jamie WONG to Sarah LEE Hong Kong cycling athletes of one generation after another have escalated the status of cycling in Hong Kong as a sport to the international stage
但這些光環，仍然無法令香港的單車文化普及。
However such honours still cannot help popularize a cycling culture in Hong Kong
至於香港政府的思維，就是單車仍然是一種日常生活以外的事，仍然是一種誠惶誠恐的事。
The Hong Kong Government has the mindset that cycling is still a matter divorced from daily life and something to look at with fear and trepidation
市民每次踏單車也要到單車公園或海濱長廊的指定地點，才能安全地享受踏單車，遑論作為代步工具，成為生活的一部分。
People have to cycle in designated areas along promenades or bicycle parks to safely enjoy the fun of cycling let alone using bicycles as a means of commute and treating cycling as part of life
單車，離我們很近，但又離我們很遠。
Bicycles seem far away from us yet quite close to us
即使"單車友"願意把單車擔抬到公共交通工具上指定的地方，但不能摺合的單車，公共交通工具仍然不歡迎，有關的政策仍然不友善。
Even if cyclists are willing to manhandle their bicycles to designated areas on modes of public transport non - foldable bicycles are still not welcome on board . The relevant policy is still not bicycle - friendly
例如九龍巴士有限公司要求"單車友"預先摺合及包裝好單車，並確保沒有任何配件凸出或外露才能上車，而單車不能霸佔座位及阻塞通道。
For example the Kowloon Motor Bus Co 1933 requires cyclists to fold and properly pack their bicycles to make sure no parts stick out or are exposed before boarding; and the bicycles cannot occupy seats or obstruct passageways
香港城市規劃根本沒有把單車放在眼內，只懂推出單車友善政策這類口號，卻不考慮在配套及設施上作出配合，這便是不友善的真相。
The urban planning of Hong Kong has not taken bicycles into account . While the Government only chants slogans such as a bicycle - friendly policy no consideration has been given to corresponding measures and ancillary facilities . It is the unfriendly truth
有關共享單車，這是在來往車站和屋苑之間，居民最需要的。
As regards bicycle - sharing it is badly needed by residents to commute between stations and housing estates
共享單車的費用應以八達通卡支付，便利居民，而不是如現時Gobee.bike要以信用卡支付般麻煩。
The charge of shared bicycles should be paid with Octopus Cards so as to give convenience to residents instead of inconveniently on credit cards as what Gobeebike currently requires
現時共享單車每小時收費是5元，但乘搭輕鐵，12個站的車費也只是4.8元。
At present the charge of shared bicycles is 5 per hour but it costs only 4.8 to travel 12 stations on the Light Rail
現時沒有正規的共享單車泊車位，以致出現共享單車胡亂停泊及佔用地方的問題。
Currently there are no regular parking spaces for shared bicycles giving rise to indiscriminate parking of shared bicycles and occupation of space
代理主席，"俾路行下"是應該的，我很贊成梁國雄議員的提議和說法。
Deputy President we are supposed to give way . I very much agree with Mr LEUNG Kwok - hungs suggestions and comments
換句話說，我們今天討論的議題非常重要，就是如何保障使用單車這種環保交通工具的人士的安全，這是我們要考慮的最重要因素。
In other words the motion we discuss today is very important that is how to protect the safety of people using bicycles as an eco - friendly mode of transport . It is the most important factor in our consideration
綜觀立法會過去幾年對有關單車安全、單車問題、踏單車的環境、單車友善等議題的討論，足有6次之多，而且涉及政府提供的文件，單是口頭質詢也有3項。
Overall speaking in the past there have been six discussions on similar topics such as safety of bicycles bicycle issues cycling environment and bicycle - friendliness in the Legislative Council which involved papers provided by the Government . For oral questions alone there were three
今天討論的議案涉及單車友善政策及如何將單車定為交通運輸工具。
The discussion today is about a bicycle - friendly policy and how to designate bicycles as a mode of transport
不過，我翻閱現時香港的法例後，覺得很奇怪。
However I found it quite strange after studying the laws of Hong Kong
不知道局長是否知道，根據現行法例，在馬路上踏單車違反《道路交通條例》，其罰則與駕駛汽車相同，我相信局長一定知道這項法例。
I wonder if the Secretary knows that according to the existing legislation anyone violating the Road Traffic Ordinance when cycling on the road will be subject to the same penalties as driving motor vehicles . I believe the Secretary must know this law
危險駕駛單車， 只罰500元；不小心駕駛汽車便很麻煩了，會被判罰5,000元及被監禁。
Reckless cycling incurs a fine of just 500 while careless driving means real troubles and the offender is liable to a fine of 5,000 and imprisonment
大家認為單車是否已成為交通運輸工具？
Do we think that bicycles have become a mode of transport?
我想問，如果在單車徑上踏單車的人同樣犯規，例如沒有遵守單車徑上的規則，究竟政府會如何處理？
I have this question How will the Government handle cyclists breaking the rules when cycling on cycle tracks such as disobeying the rules of the cycle tracks?
此外，很多初學踏單車的人士容易跌倒，影響到其他駕駛者的安全。
Moreover many beginner cyclists are susceptible to falling affecting the safety of other drivers
政府會否規定在單車徑或馬路踏單車的人士必須完成一些課程，以提升他們的交通知識，甚至踏單車的知識？
Will the Government require riders of bicycles on cycle tracks or roads to complete some courses so as to enhance their traffic knowledge and even cycling knowledge?
香港的單車泊位不足是事實。
The shortage of bicycle parking spaces is a fact
全港的單車泊位總數有57,758個。
Parking spaces for bicycles in Hong Kong total 57 758
元朗和屯門加起來有兩萬個，即佔了總數五分之二，但仍不足夠。
There are 20 000 spaces in Yuen Long and Tuen Mun altogether accounting for two fifths of the total but it remains not adequate
政府需要着力尋找合適的地點，增加單車泊位，使願意以單車代步的人有適當的泊車位。
The Government needs to make stronger efforts in identifying suitable spots for additional bicycle parking spaces so that people who are willing to commute by bicycles can access appropriate parking spaces
對於最新推出的共享單車計劃，其實市民已有一些意見，因為這些單車會被人四處亂泊，阻街阻行人。
As regards the newly - launched bicycle - sharing scheme people have already had some opinions because these bicycles are indiscriminately parked obstructing streets and people
因此，政府有需要在增加泊車位的同時，也要規管"共享單車"，才能確立大家對單車友善的正確態度，以推廣更環保的交通工具。
Therefore while increasing parking spaces the Government needs to regulate shared bicycles so that a correct attitude towards bicycle - friendliness can be established for the promotion of a more eco - friendly mode of transport
代理主席，感謝許智峯議員提出這項議員議案："制訂單車友善政策，將單車定為交通運輸工具"。
Deputy President I thank Mr HUI Chi - fung for proposing this Members motion Formulating a bicycle - friendly policy and designating bicycles as a mode of transport
今天聽到很多議員的發言，絕大部分都是支持這項議案的方向。
Today I have listened to the speeches of many Members and the majority of them support the direction of the motion
議案提出"將單車定為交通運輸工具"，就是與政府現時指它只作休閒用途，作出一個對比。
The motion proposes designating bicycles as a mode of transport which stands in contrast to the Governments claim that they are only for leisure
與邵家臻議員和陳淑莊議員比較，我稍為優勝，略懂踏單車。
Compared with Mr SHIU Ka - chun and Ms Tanya CHAN I am slightly better as I know a little how to cycle
不過，因為我天生平衡力差，所以踏得不穩，加上小時候發生過一些意外，令我比較害怕，不會在馬路上踏單車。
However with an innately poor sense of balance I cycle not too stably; and also due to some childhood accidents I am quite timid and would not cycle on roads
我上次踏單車，是在去年選舉時與"長毛"在大埔。
The last time I cycled was in Tai Po with Long Hair during the election last year
其實，我只踏了一段很短時間，已經明白香港的單車徑究竟有何缺陷。
Honestly I only cycled for a very short while to understand the defects of cycle tracks in Hong Kong
其實，我們談到單車友善政策，除了政府要對單車友善之外，行人、司機及其他交通工具使用者，亦需要有這種態度。
As a matter of fact when talking about a bicycle - friendly policy other than the Government being friendly to bicycles pedestrians drivers and other users of public transport also need to adopt this attitude
所以，一項政策背後，反映出一個生活態度。
Therefore a policy reflects a way of life
近年，很多地區都以丹麥首都哥本哈根作指標，建立單車友善城市。
In recent years many regions have used Copenhagen the capital of Denmark as a benchmark to build bicycle - friendly cities
事緣1970年代石油危機重創丹麥的經濟，政府開始重新規劃能源政策，以減少對化石燃料的依賴。
It all started in the 1970s when the oil crisis dealt a severe blow to the Danish economy so much so that the Danish Government began to develop afresh its energy policy to minimize its reliance on fossil fuel
其中一項措施就是推廣單車友善政策，作為一個替代方案。
One of the many measures was to promote a bicycle - friendly policy as a substitute scheme
由政府牽頭，減少使用汽車，推動便利單車的政策。
The Government took the lead to reduce the use of cars and promote a policy favourable to cycling
至今哥本哈根有四成人以單車作主要的代步工具。
Today 40 % of people in Copenhagen mainly commute by bicycles
當然，我們不是天真地以為香港政府可以一步登天，司長和局長可以踏單車上班。
Of course we are not so naïve as to think that the Hong Kong Government can achieve such a goal overnight and the Secretaries will ride a bicycle to work
姚思榮議員剛才發言時表示擔心，他不支持以單車作為主要交通工具。
Mr YIU Si - wing has expressed worries in his speech that he does not support making bicycles a major mode of transport
我們只是希望制訂友善政策，各種配套措施推行後，市民有多一個交通工具的選擇，開拓城市的想象。
We just hope to formulate a bicycle - friendly policy so that after various ancillary measures are implemented people have one more choice of transport and we can expand our imagination of the city
無論出於環保也好，出於"自決"我們如何上班也好，我們可以多一個選擇。
Whether out of environmental protection or self - determination of how we go to work we can have one more choice
政府首先要拆牆鬆綁，營造便利單車的社會環境。
The Government first needs to remove regulations and restrictions to create a social environment conducive to cycling
例如在台北市，捷運列車的頭尾車卡，在非繁忙時間可以劃作單車的專列，同時馬路兩側亦劃作單車的專用道，增設單車的停泊位，利便市民隨時隨處以單車代步。
For example in Taipei City the first and last cars of the Rapid Transit trains can be designated for bicycles during non - peak hours; at the same time bicycle - only lanes can be delineated on both sides of the road; and parking spaces for bicycles can also be increased to facilitate people commuting by bicycles anytime anywhere
其實，我們很多議員都曾到台灣交流，針對單車這個問題，有很多值得借鑒的地方。
Indeed many Honourable colleagues have been to Taiwan for exchange visits . As regards the issue of bicycles there are a lot of aspects we can learn from Taipei
台北市近年推出公共單車租賃計劃"YouBike"，市民不用自行購買單車，只是租用，降低以單車代步的門檻。
Taipei City has introduced the public bicycle rental scheme YouBike in recent years . Locals do not need to purchase their own bicycles but can rent them so as to lower the threshold of commuting by bicycles
可惜，要香港做到單車友善，仍然要下很多工夫。
Unfortunately to truly achieve bicycle - friendliness Hong Kong still needs to expend a lot of efforts
