我最近收到一封來自我選區新界東的選民的信件，雖然我不太認同他的部分意見，不過他有一段說話，我想在此讀給大家聽："現時警民關係破裂，作為一位和平、理性的香港市民實在痛心疾首。
Recently I received a letter from a voter in my constituency of New Territories East . While I do not quite agree with some of his views there is a passage in his letter that I wish to read out here to Members I quote As a peaceful and rational member of the Hong Kong public I bitterly lament the current breakdown of relations between the Police and the public . Posts expressing the feelings of quite a number of frontline police officers have been circulated online
網上流傳不少前線警員的心聲，香港警察隊員佐級協會主席林志偉先生表示，前線警員在暫緩修訂《逃犯條例》後變成矛頭所向、眾矢之的，表明警察不是政治工具。
According to Mr LAM Chi - wai Chairman of the Junior Police Officers Association of the Hong Kong Police Force frontline police officers have become targets of attacks and criticisms following the suspension of the FOO amendment and he stressed that the Police are not a political instrument
6月21日發生示威人士包圍警察總部，前線警員敬業樂業，在酷熱天氣下緊守崗位，面對示威者的指責表現出專業精神，更有患上長期病患、癌症的警總職員需要使用緊急救護車服務送院，可見警務人員面對的壓力已經到達一個臨界點，甚至影響生命安全。
When protesters besieged the Police Headquarters on 21 June frontline police officers had shown dedication and respect for their jobs in the sweltering heat and displayed professionalism in the face of criticisms from protesters . Some staff members in the Police Headquarters being chronically ill or cancer patients were even sent to hospital by emergency ambulance service . It shows that the stress faced by police officers has reached a breaking point and even their personal safety is at stake
警察和警察的家人也是香港人，這絕非香港市民樂見的情況。
That is absolutely not what the people of Hong Kong wish to see given that police officers and their families are Hongkongers too
" 然後，這位選民對我的工作提出一些建議或對這件事提出一些意見，我再重申，我未必認同，但剛才他這段說話，我覺得有一句令我非常感動，便是警察都是人，警察都是我們的香港市民。
end of quote This voter went on to offer some suggestions on my work and put forward his views on this issue . Let me reiterate that while we are not exactly on the same page I am deeply touched by one sentence in his remarks that I read out just now―police officers are human beings and members of the Hong Kong public too
我們在網上及示威衝突中均看到很多仇警的言論，以及針對個別警員及其家人的做法，包括在網上對警務人員"起底"、把他們的私人資料放上網及辱罵他們。
We have seen on the Internet and in demonstrations and clashes many remarks of animosity towards the Police as well as actions targeting individual police officers and their families including online doxing of police officers disclosure of their personal information online and verbal abuse against them
我們再看看昨天包圍警總的示威，這是否和平、理性、非暴力的示威呢？
Let us now turn to yesterdays demonstration which led to the siege of the Police Headquarters . Was that a peaceful rational and non - violent demonstration?
令我印象很深刻的是有一位警員上班，但卻被示威者追罵，甚至想拉着他來打，這是合理的做法、一個文明社會的做法嗎？
I was particularly struck by the scene of a police officer on his way to work being hounded by protesters who lashed out at him and even attempted to grab him and beat him up . Was that rational or something that should happen in a civilized society?
當示威者做出這些行為的時候，他們有否想過警察都是香港人？
When protesters made those acts did it ever occur to them that police officers were also Hongkongers?
我也許可以仿效泛民同事的說法："唉！
I can perhaps emulate our Honourable colleagues of the pan - democratic camp and say Well the protesters are just students
示威者都是學生而已，年青人有時做出一些激烈的行為，是可以理解的。
It is understandable for young people to engage in some radical acts once in a while
"不過，當這些學生、年青人做出一些惡劣行為的時候，我們的泛民同事有沒有出聲叫他們不要這樣做？
Yet when these students or young people had perpetrated some nasty acts did our Honourable colleagues of the pan - democratic camp speak up and dissuade them?
這絕對不是議員應該要做的事，亦是不負責任的行為。
It is an irresponsible act absolutely unbecoming of lawmakers
主席，議會內經常有一些光怪陸離的事情出現，泛民同事"有事就找警察，沒事就罵警察"。
President strange things happen in this Council all the time . Honourable colleagues of the pan - democratic camp turn to the Police in times of trouble and upbraid them in times of peace
如果他們的議員辦事處被騷擾、被破壞，他們第一時間報警。
When there are disturbances to or damages inflicted on their ward offices they will make reports to the Police at the first instance . Mr Gary FAN did so after he pretended to take a stumble in a conference room not long ago
最差的是"有事就找警察，沒事就罵警察"，更將警察妖魔化，所以，這明顯是一種思覺失調的情況。
The worst is that they turn to the Police in times of trouble and upbraid them in times of peace and they even demonize police officers . So this is apparently a symptom of psychoses
當然，他們在挑動仇警的情緒後，他們也只是自作自受。
Certainly after stirring up animosity towards the Police they only got their just deserts
昨晚，我看到郭家麒議員忽然關心警察，走到示威者面前叫他們不要衝，結果被示威者叫他"走開，不要在此拉票"。
Yesterday evening I saw Dr KWOK Ka - ki in a sudden gesture of concern for police officers confronted the protesters and urged them not to charge ahead . Get out of the way the protesters countered Do not canvass votes here
同樣地，張超雄議員上星期又突發善心說不要包圍警車，示威者對他說"走吧！
Similarly Dr Fernando CHEUNG in a burst of benevolence urged protesters not to besiege police vehicles last week . That was met with Go away!
"他們過去不斷地罵警察，打開了這個潘朵拉盒子，現在才叫人不要仇警？
from the protesters . After upbraiding the Police incessantly in the past and opening a Pandoras box they now urge people not to hate the Police?
他們罵警察罵了那麼久，現在才叫年青人不要衝？
Is it not too hypocritical of them to urge young people not to charge ahead now after their prolonged upbraiding of the Police?
說回《逃犯條例》的修訂，現時政府已經暫緩，特首亦已經出來向市民道歉，這件事應該告一段落。
Coming back to the FOO amendment with the amendment exercise now suspended by the Government and the Chief Executive having apologized to the public the issue should have come to an end
如果繼續原地爭拗暫緩或撤回這些文字內容，社會便無法再向前走，而且繼續不斷搞群眾運動，對社 會亦沒有好處，例如兩天前有示威人士到稅務大樓阻礙職員上班，阻礙市民報稅或做其他的工作，這是擾民，但泛民同事有否出來譴責這些行為呢？
If we remain obsessed with arguing about such wording as suspension or withdrawal our society will not be able to move on . Moreover an endless instigation of mass movements is by no means beneficial to society . Two days ago for example some protesters impeded staff members going to work and caused obstruction to the public in filing tax returns or handling other matters at the Revenue Tower
之前冤枉警察說警察在救護車上拘捕受傷的示威者，所有的救護員也說沒有此事，你們又說要譴責和聯署，但在事情弄清楚後，有否出來道歉呢？
Regarding the rumour in which the Police were wrongly accused of arresting injured protesters on ambulances which was flatly denied by all ambulance personnel they first threatened to issue a condemnation and launch a public petition but once the matter was sorted out did they come forward to tender apologies?
廣東話有一句說話說得挺好的，便是"見好就收"。
The Cantonese saying of to quit while you are ahead is most apt
所以，如果泛民同事不能夠適可而止，不但會造成社會混亂，亦會令社會損失，他們自己也會受到影響。
If Honourable colleagues of the pan - democratic camp do not stop at an appropriate juncture there will be social chaos that would take toll on society and affect them in turn
主席，張華峰議員的議案真的應該在現時進行討論，從而讓社會回復和平與穩定，使香港可以重新出發。
President it is indeed opportune now to conduct a debate on Mr Christopher CHEUNGs motion so that peace and stability can be restored in society and Hong Kong can make a fresh start
在這件事上，政務司司長也應該作出反思。
The Chief Secretary for Administration should also reflect on the issue
社會上有很多深層次矛盾，必須對症下藥。
The right cure should be prescribed to resolve the many deep - rooted conflicts in society
我們在示威活動中看見年青人的憤怒，以及對社會的不滿，我相信這並非單單由修訂《逃犯條例》而引起的，應該是有很多問題令市民和年青人不滿意，他們才會出來做出相對不理性或暴力的行為，亦是我們經常說的"冰封三尺，非一日之寒"。
The anger of young people and their discontent with society have been palpable in the demonstrations . I believe the discontent among the public and young people which has prompted them to act relatively irrationally and violently probably springs from many problems rather than being triggered by the FOO amendment alone and as we always say it takes more than one cold day for a river to freeze three feet deep
所以，政府的工作要讓社會上每個群組也能感受到社會對他們的關心，而不是經常出現一些結構性的遺漏，正如在施政報告或財政預算案的措施中經常忽略或遺漏某些人，所以，他們自然對政府有所不滿。
Hence the Government should undertake its work in ways that make every social group feel that society is concerned about them rather than allowing some structural omissions to prevail . Similarly for those who are frequently uncared for or left out by the measures put forth in policy addresses and budgets it is only natural for them to resent the Government
我剛才聽到司長在開場發言時說政府做了很多工作，亦針對年青人推行很多政策，例如青年委員自薦計劃，使他們的聲音可以讓政府聽到。
I heard the Chief Secretary say in his opening remarks that the Government has done a lot of work and implemented many policies targeting young people such as the Member Self - recommendation Scheme for Youth so that their voice can be heard by the Government
不過，始終能夠進入這些機制發聲的年青人只是少數，對於未能進入機制或落選的人，你又如何聆聽他們的聲音呢？
Yet given the small number of young people being able to join such mechanisms to voice their opinions how will you listen to the voices of those who are unable to join such mechanisms or fail to make the cut?
特首說要connect、即要同行、要聆聽，那麼如何解決問題呢？
While the Chief Executive stresses the need to connect and listen what is the solution then?
這是司長和整個政府也要思考的。
That warrants reflection by the Chief Secretary and the entire Government
我亦想說一些我經常說的話，也就是對年青人來說，特首說要"三業三政"，我則認為要"四業"學業、就業、住屋置業和創業。
I wish also to reiterate some views that I have been preaching all along . When it comes to young people as well as addressing their three concerns about education career pursuit and home ownership and encouraging their participation in politics as well as public policy discussion and debate as stressed by the Chief Executive I think a fourth concern namely the concern about entrepreneurship should also be addressed
可能特首認為上任兩年，在這數方面已投放很多資源和撥款，但有撥款和政策是否便等於幫助他們呢？
The Chief Executive may think that a lot of resources and funding have been allocated to these respects in the two years since her inauguration . Yet can these funding and policies be equated with actual assistance to them?
此外，政府有否長遠和全面的規劃，令年青人可以在"四業"中，得到他們在付出努力後應該得到的東西呢？
Moreover has the Government made long - term and comprehensive plans to address the four concerns of young people so that they can deservedly taste the fruits of their labour?
我相信政府內有那麼多聰明能幹的人，應該明白現時年青人需要的是甚麼。
With so many smart and able persons under its employ I believe the Government should be able to figure out what young people need now
如果能夠解決社會上的深層次問題，我相信社會上的撕裂和爭拗也能夠一一解決。
If the deep - rooted problems in society can be resolved I believe the rifts and disputes in society can all be resolved
政府對盡快恢復社會秩序、穩定營商環境採取的即時應對措施，讓市民回復正常生活"，值得大家藉此機會就近期社會發生的重大事件進行討論。
It is worthy to take this opportunity to hold a discussion on major events that happened in society recently . I think Mr Christopher CHEUNGs adjournment motion is well - intentioned
同樣地，議會內雖然沒有使用肢體武力，但語言暴力亦非常嚴重。
It is indeed heart - wrenching to see these violent acts . Similarly although physical violence is not used in the Council verbal violence is very serious
我覺得應該從這個角度來考慮。
I believe we should consider the matter from this perspective
主席，我今天的發言未必一定很平和，但我希望能夠克制。
President my speech today may not necessarily be very calm but I hope I will be able to restrain myself
《2019年逃犯及刑事事宜相互法律協助法例條例草案》原意是維護公義，但很可惜，由3月份政府向立法會提出《條例草案》至最近發生的一連串大型暴亂情況和大型集會遊行，已將整件事由維護公義變成龐大的政治能量，令整個社會動盪不安，甚至令家庭出現撕裂的情況。
The original intention of the Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation Amendment Bill 2019 the Bill is to uphold justice . Unfortunately since the Bill was tabled to the Legislative Council in March the outbreak of a series of large - scale riots and assemblies recently has flipped the whole matter from upholding justice to a huge political force which caused social unrest and even caused families to be riven
然而，外界仍一直要求政府要用"撤回"二字，不能用押後或暫緩，指這些用詞都是廢話。
However some people still insist that the Government must use the term withdraw instead of postpone or suspend calling the latter words nonsense
我認為並不多餘，因為我們需要繼續彰顯公義，所以要繼續討論。
I do not think so . We have to continue the discussion because we should see justice done
我覺得今次這場風波是由不少假消息甚至抹黑引起，包括我們看到的兩段短片，一段是豬肉檯，一段是一位女生，全都是虛假的。
I think this turmoil was caused by a lot of disinformation and smearing including the two video clips that we could see one about a meat stall the other about a girl which are all false
我對政府說，一個人如果怕鬼，你不停叫他不要怕鬼，他是做不到的。
I have told the Government that if someone is afraid of ghosts he will not stop such fear even if you tell him to do so
我接下來想指出，如果政府要認真總結今次的經驗和教訓，就必須從教育着手。
Next I wish to point out that if the Government wants to seriously draw lessons from this incident it must begin with education
我覺得他們自小已"被洗腦"，所以今天說甚麼都聽不清楚。
In my opinion they have all been brainwashed since childhood hence they would not listen to anything nowadays
因此，教育是政府重中之重的工作，脫離了國民教育，缺乏對國家的認識，就等同在黑夜中走路害怕遇上鬼一樣，看不到前路，亦不知道鬼是甚麼。
Therefore education is the most important task of the Government . The lack of national education and understanding of the country can be likened to a man who is afraid of ghosts walking in the dark not being able to see the road ahead and know what exactly ghosts are
他們對內地的法制和國家40多年來的進步不了解。
They do not understand the judicial system in the Mainland and the progress made by the country in the past some 40 years
政府需要多做這方面的教育，多讓年青人了解，實地認識國家的發展已經今非昔比，現時已經是一個大國。
Please go to the Mainland and take a look . The Government should step up education in this regard so that young people can gain a fuller understanding of the countrys present development which is totally different from the past and has turned it into a powerful nation
昨天，一批示威者趁着G20峰會，說要向各國反映意見，把《條例草案》的問題國際化。
Yesterday a group of protesters internationalized the issue of the Bill by claiming to reflect views to other countries on the occasion of the G20 Osaka Summit
他們當然有自由這樣做，但我認為這種做法是適得其反的。
They surely have the freedom to do so but I think this approach will only produce the opposite result
中美貿易戰令香港經濟大受影響，張華峰議員提出此項議案的重點，是要指出不能因為中美貿易戰而影響香港的經濟。
Hong Kong economy is greatly affected by the China - United States trade war which is why Mr Christopher CHEUNG proposed this motion seeking to emphasize that Hong Kong economy should not be affected by the China - United States trade war
這種行為絕對是錯的，但偏偏今次的示威者說背後沒有人部署，其實大家都知道，有很多人在背後協助策劃。
This behaviour is absolutely wrong . Protesters claimed that nobody deployed them behind the scene but as everyone knows many people have assisted in the planning
今次的談判會否因而受影響，我覺得示威者必須三思，更不能因而影響國家的國際地位，以及不能令國家在中美貿易摩擦中受到影響。
I think protesters must think twice about whether the negotiation this time will be affected . More importantly they must not damage the countrys international status and affect the country amidst trade frictions between China and the United States
我覺得當前各方面應該冷靜起來，特別面對全球金融經濟下行等中美貿易摩擦問題，香港現時沒有很穩固的經濟基礎，只靠樓市和金融等非實質的行業支撐，一旦遇到重大衝擊，香港的經濟是脆弱的。
I think all sectors should calm down at this moment . Particularly in the face of the global financial and economic downturn as well as trade frictions between China and the United States the Hong Kong economy remains fragile under strong attacks as it merely relies on non - substantial industries such as real estate and finance without a solid economic foundation
因此，各方必須冷靜下來，為香港的未來發展作出更好的調整。
Therefore all parties must calm down and make better adjustments for Hong Kongs future development
政府的重要角色，是帶領不同意見的各方，包括建制和泛民都應該冷靜坐下來，討論香港未來應該怎樣做。
The crucial role of the Government is to lead various parties with different views including both the pro - establishment and pro - democracy camps to discuss the future of Hong Kong calmly
政府應該勇敢站出來，帶領社會繼續前行。
It should show courage and lead society to continuously move forward
正如特首"林鄭"所說，她要帶領香港前行。
As Chief Executive Carrie LAM said she has to lead Hong Kong to strive forward
所以，懇請政府在這方面要繼續帶領香港。
Hence I urge the Government to continue to lead Hong Kong forward
金融業在香港的產業結構中佔頗大比重，無論是對利好還是利淡的因素也十分敏感。
The financial industry which forms a significant share in our industrial structure is very sensitive to both favourable and unfavourable factors
社會動盪不安必然對經濟造成打擊，所以任何一個真心愛香港的人，對於現時香港面對的情況必然感到憂慮不安。
Social instability will surely strike a blow to our economy . Thus anyone who truly loves Hong Kong will feel worried and anxious about the current situation in Hong Kong
在這個月內連續出現兩次大遊行及多次示威和衝擊，包括衝擊立法會綜合大樓、政府總部、稅務大樓及警察總部等，還出現隨意堵路的情況，所以我覺得有需要給議員一個空間，表達大家如何關心香港。
In this month there were two massive rallies several protests and charging acts including storming the Legislative Council Complex the Central Government Offices the Revenue Tower and the Hong Kong Police Headquarters etc . In addition some people heedlessly blocked roads . Thus I think it is necessary to give Members an opportunity to express their concerns about Hong Kong
正正因為大家不想條例的修訂繼續撕裂社會，不想把香港一開為二。
It is exactly because we do not want the amendment exercise to keep tearing society apart
但有誰想把香港一開為二？
Who want to tear Hong Kong apart?
就是那些繼續挑釁、繼續將示威定性為和平，那些對多次衝擊事件隻言不提的人，這群人真真正正想把香港一開為二。
They are the ones who keep provoking others keep branding the protests as peaceful without mentioning a word about the charging incidents . These people who really want to tear Hong Kong apart
他之後的發言一直繼續維護示威者或有參與暴力行為的暴徒，指他們妨礙市民進出稅務大樓之後也有道歉，還為他們宣傳、為他們解難。
Then he continued to defend the protesters and the violent acts of rioters . He said that protesters apologized for obstructing members of the public from entering and leaving the Revenue Tower . He even publicized the acts of protesters and defended them
陳議員究竟是時間不夠，還是根本自知理虧而不敢發言？
Was it that Mr CHAN did not have sufficient time to respond or was it that he did not have the courage to do so because he knew he was wrong?
批評警方就大大力，要求他公平一點批評那些阻路及阻塞稅務大樓，甚至是作出暴力行為的暴徒，他卻不敢多言，他哪會是公道？
He vigorously criticized the Police but dared not act fairly and criticized those who blocked roads and the access to the Revenue Tower and even acted violently . How can we say that he is fair?
反對派接着會說五大訴求仍未解決，其實曾鈺成所寫的題為"不能答允"的文章，已經充分解釋為何不能答應該5項訴求。
The opposition camp would say that the five demands have not been acceded to . In fact in his article entitled Say no to Demands Jasper TSANG explained why the Government could not accede to the five demands
很簡單，因為如果答允任何一項訴求，後果極之嚴重。
The reason is very simple . If any one of the demands is acceded to the consequence will be very serious
雖然實際效果是"暫緩"等於"撤回"，但不能夠用"撤回"這用詞，是因為政府明知反對派一定會得寸進尺，第一關過了，會繼續嚷着要通過隨後的四關，所以不能夠應承。
Although the practical effect of suspension is withdrawal the term withdrawal cannot be used because the Government knows very well that after the first demand is met the opposition camp will press for more until the other four demands are acceded to . Thus no promise should be made
第二及第三項訴求就是說明"六一二"不是暴動及釋放所有被捕人士。
The second and third demands respectively ask the Government to retract the categorization of the 12 June incident as a riot and release all protesters arrested
如果應承反對派釋放被捕人士，變相是破壞法治，同時只會令衝擊政府總部的行為好像昨晚般變本加厲。
If the opposition camps demand of releasing the arrested persons is acceded to it will damage the rule of law and acts such as charging the Central Government Offices last night will escalate
此外，第四項訴求是要求全面調查事件，坦白說，由於現時已有機制進行調查，如果再設立另一些機制，事實上只會將現有機制的武功廢除。
Furthermore the fourth demand is to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the incident . Frankly speaking since there is an existing investigation mechanism if another one is set up it will render the existing mechanism redundant . The fifth demand is the stepping down of the Chief Executive
第五項訴求是要求特首下台，眾所周知，特首已表示她在不久的將來還有很多工作要做，而很多工作亦已開展，如果在任期內下台，她提出的很多政策便不能夠延續，對香港會帶來更大傷害，所以，該5項訴求根本是無法答應。
As we all know the Chief Executive has said that she has a lot of work to do in the future . Besides since a lot of work has already commenced if the Chief Executive steps down during her tenure the various policies proposed by her cannot sustain thereby bringing more harm to Hong Kong . Thus the five demands really cannot be acceded to
但是，為何反對派仍然要提出？
However why did members of the opposition camp put forward the demands?
他們真的認為5項訴求有道理，還是好像坊間所說，他們根本知道政府不可能接受，但正因為這樣，他們才可以繼續搗亂、可以繼續糾纏？
Did they really think that the five demands were justified or did they raise the demands knowing that the Government could not accept them hence giving them an excuse to continue wreaking havoc and pestering the Government as some members of the public have suggested?
主席，我認為有數大客觀因素。
President I think we can consider some objective factors
第一，今年年底便是區議會選舉。
First the District Council election will be held at the end of this year
第二，台灣將會舉行大選。
Second Taiwan will hold its presidential election soon
民進黨搞不好台灣的經濟，唯一的選舉牌便是大打政治"台獨"牌，所以，大陸委員會對於香港修例內容的"一個中國"原則表示反對，寧願埋沒良知也不處理謀殺犯的移交，正正是由於台灣大選。
As the Democratic Progressive Party has failed to promote Taiwans economic development it can only resort to playing the Taiwan independence card . Thus the Mainland Affairs Council of Taiwan indicated that it would oppose the One China principle as enshrined in the legislative amendment of Hong Kong . It has refused to address the issue of handing over the suspect of the murder case even if it means suppressing its conscience
另外，當然還有中美貿易戰。
The reason for that is exactly the presidential election of Taiwan . Moreover the China - United States trade war is certainly another influencing factor
當然，美國大選對特朗普也有很大影響。
Certainly the results of the upcoming presidential election in the United States will greatly affect Donald TRUMP too
基於種種因素，《逃犯條例》的修訂便弄得如此複雜，這樣才能解釋為何修例的主要矛盾已經解開，但仍然有人不想停下來。
All of these factors have made the FOO amendment exercise very complicated . That explains why even though the main disagreement of the amendment exercise has been resolved some people are not willing to stop
主席，區議會選舉一直也是以民生優先，但反對派一直想把區議會選舉政治化，選舉前必定找話題作政治炒作，務求將2003年的氣氛帶回來。
President promoting peoples livelihood has all along been the primary consideration in District Council DC elections but the opposition camp has been trying to politicize the elections all the time . They will certainly try to hype up political issues to recreate an atmosphere similar to that in 2003
他們想製造不安和社會不穩定的氣氛是事實，但是，過去數屆區議會選舉的經驗告訴大家，其實市民看得很清楚，區議會選舉應以民生優先，而且要回歸理性。
It is true that the opposition camp wants to create disharmony and instability in society but from the experience of DC elections in the past few years members of the public can clearly understand that promoting peoples livelihood is the primary consideration in DC elections and they have to act rationally
主席，這數晚衝擊警察總部的行為其實令大家憂慮，因為香港唯一的執法部門便是警隊，如果警隊也被綁手綁腳，甚麼也做不到，將來大家的生命和財產安全便很難得到保障，這是很多市民大眾告訴我們的真心話。
President the charging acts at the Police Headquarters these few nights are indeed worrying . Since the Police Force is the only law enforcement authority in Hong Kong if the hands of police officers are tied our lives and properties can hardly be protected in the future . That is what many members of the public have frankly told me
對於不能處理這項條例，我們感到可惜和表示憂慮。
To our regret and concern we cannot handle the Bill
只要大家願意理性分析，不要人云亦云，也不要偏聽網上的虛構資料，我相信對大家也會有所裨益。
If we are willing to make rational analysis refuse to believe in hearsay and fabricated information on the Internet I believe all of us will benefit
但是，主席，大家也理解香港的情況，販賣恐懼、特別是"恐共"情緒是反對派的一張王牌。
However President we also understand the current situation of Hong Kong . Spreading fear particularly communism phobia is a trump card of the opposition camp
不用說太遠，兩年前民主黨在"釘書機事件"中，已經想販賣恐懼和"恐共"意識。
I will not mention incidents which happened long ago . Two years ago the Democratic Party tried to spread fear and communism phobia in the staples incident
林子健計劃得很周密，但又錯漏百出，所以警方很快便印證這是虛構事件。
Howard LAM had a detailed plan but it was fraught with blunders . Thus the Police quickly proved that the incident was fabricated
但是，在警察查出真相前，民主黨"不理三七二十一"，一於"打蛇隨棍上"，將林子健視為至寶，由3位前主席一起高調召開記者招待會。
Nevertheless before the Police discovered the truth the Democratic Party rashly seized the opportunity treated Howard LAM as its most precious asset and held a press conference hosted by three of its former Chairmen in a high - profile manner
在2019年3月，媒體"思考香港"刊登一篇寒柏寫的文章，題為"泛民為何不肯認錯？
In March 2019 the media Think Hong Kong published an article written by Han Bai entitled Why the democrats did not admit their mistakes
寒柏的文章亦提到，傳播心理學論及一種選擇性注意，指人們會選擇性地接收與自己偏見相符的事物，以強化自己的觀點，即是確認觀點或偏見。
Han Bais article also mentioned the concept of selective attention in Communication Psychology . It means that people will selectively receive messages which are consistent with their prejudices to reinforce or affirm their viewpoints
事實上，大家可以看到民主黨有很強的偏見，連他們的高層也有這些偏見，因此，他們向群眾渲染這種偏見也是無可避免。
In fact we can see that members of the Democratic Party even its senior members have strong prejudices . Thus it is inevitable that they will disseminate these prejudices to the public in an exaggerated manner
