有些事情真的要慢慢做，詳細討論，有不對的地方要批評，督促政府作出改善，做好監察的工作，對某些事情要討論得細緻一點，不能隨便閉上眼睛便舉手通過，這是正常的。
There are things that really should be done slowly and discussed in detail . When something is wrong criticisms are warranted to urge the Government to make improvement in order for monitoring to be exercised effectively . It is necessary to discuss certain issues in greater detail instead of simply closing our eyes and putting up our hands to endorse them and this is normal
所以，我十分反對今天這項中止待續議案，這完全是"拉布"的手段，亦很諷刺地令我們的議會完全失去效益。
Therefore I strongly object to this adjournment motion today . It is entirely a means to filibuster and most ironically it strip this Council of all its efficiency
因此，我稍後會對中止待續議案投反對票。
Such being the case I will vote against this adjournment motion later
我亦希望能盡快就這項有關《能源效益條例》的決議案進行表決及通過相關修訂，令電器產品貼上能源標籤，鼓勵市民多使用高能源效益的電器。
I also hope that this resolution relating to the Energy Efficiency Ordinance can be put to the vote and the relevant amendments be passed as soon as possible so that energy efficiency labels will be affixed to electrical products to encourage the public to use more often electrical appliances with high energy efficiency
第一個問題關乎市民的認知，以及他們對能源標籤是否重視。這當然涉及教育工作。
I have mainly discussed two issues and the first issue is about public awareness and whether members of the public attach importance to energy labels which is certainly related to education
我覺得當局在這方面的工作並不足夠，而這並不一定是因為法例有問題，很大程度是由於相關部門的執行問題所致。
I think that the authorities have not done enough in this respect but that is not necessarily related to problems with the law . To a very large extent that is attributed to the implementation problems by the departments concerned
不過，即使在這方面仍有不足，我相信也並不代表我們現在便應停止第三階段的進展。
Even if there are inadequacies in this respect it does not mean that we should stop implementing the third phase
我希望當局在修訂法例以外，做足所有教育及增強市民認知的工作。
Apart from making legislative amendments I hope the authorities will spare no effort in educating the public and enhancing their awareness
第三個角度，當然是地球的角度。
The third point is about the Earth
香港需要在2030年將碳強度由2005年的水平降低70%。
Hong Kong needs to reduce carbon intensity by 70 % by 2030 compared with the 2005 level
電力現時佔香港碳排放的七成。
Electricity now takes up 70 % of carbon emission in Hong Kong
所以，歸根究底，我們若要節能，所有方法都要用盡，才可以達到這個目標，令香港可以減排，為地球出一分力。
Hence if we are to save energy we should exhaust all methods to achieve this target . We should try our best to reduce emissions in Hong Kong and do something for the Earth
其實在很多國家，環保和使用智慧能源都是智慧城市的重要部分。
In many countries environmental protection and the use of smart energy are important elements of smart cities
換言之，除了交通和政府服務應用程式外，節能、減排及廢物處理，也是智慧城市的重要部分。
Apart from transport and government services applications energy conservation emissions reduction and waste management are also important elements of smart cities
說到電，牽涉的不止是電器，還有智能電錶。
Speaking of electricity apart from electrical appliances smart meters are also involved
由於現今的住宅單位越建越小我發覺香港所有問題其實都是地產問題很多單位的廁所或浴室都是密封設計的"黑廁"，不能安裝煤氣或石油氣熱水爐。
As the residential units today are becoming smaller―I found that all problems in Hong Kong are actually real estate problems―the toilets or bathrooms in many units are dark toilets of enclosed design which are unsuitable for installing gas or LPG water heaters
很可惜，今天立法會議事堂的運作，似乎真的不正常。
Much to our regret the operation of the Legislative Council today seems to be really abnormal
主席，我不會猜測其他議員的動機，主席也常提醒我們不宜猜測其他同事的動機，所以我只會說實質效果。
President I will not impute motives to other Members and as you President always remind us of the impropriety of imputing motives to other colleagues I will only talk about the practical results
主席，我們在這個議事廳進行會議，其實消耗很多資源，包括冷氣、燈光等，這些全部耗費能源，且直接及間接地產生碳排放。
President as we conduct meetings here in this Chamber a great many resources have to be consumed including air conditioning lighting and so on . All these require the consumption of energy and will directly or indirectly lead to carbon emission
因此，我希望"拉布"的情況不要再在這個議事廳延續下去。
For this reason I hope that filibustering would no longer continue in this Chamber
我在此奉勸"拉布"的同事，他們的行為不單耗用立法會重要的人力資源及各方面的資源，同時亦是一種極不環保的行為。
Here let me exhort the filibustering colleagues to stop for their behaviour does not only consume the important manpower resources and various resources of the Legislative Council but it is also most non - environmentally friendly behaviour
主席，我剛才提過不會猜測議員的動機，但李國麟議員剛才就中止待續議案發言時，於後段很可愛地指出這項中止待續議案的目的。
President as I said just now I will not impute motives to Members . But in the later part of his speech on the adjournment motion earlier Dr Joseph LEE sweetly pointed out the purpose of this motion on adjournment
即使我不猜測，非建制派同事也直認這根本是"拉布"，主席，這樣"拉布"令我很痛心。
Even though I did not hazard a guess the non - establishment Members admitted brazenly that this is downright a filibuster . President such filibustering is heart - rending to me
不過，就當前這項中止待續議案，我不得不發言大力反對，儘管我本來沒有預備發言，現在也要說說。
But with regard to this adjournment motion before us now I cannot but speak against it vehemently . Even though I was not prepared to speak I have to say something now
主席，我是《2017年能源效益條例令》小組委員會的成員，我們在上半年已經舉行了會議。
President I am a member of the Subcommittee on Energy Efficiency Ordinance Order 2017 and a meeting was held in the first half of the year
在會議期間，參與的成員對《2017年能源效益條例令》完全沒有任何爭議。
During the meeting there was entirely no dispute from members of the Subcommittee on the Energy Efficiency Ordinance Order 2017
其實，《修訂令》是將能源標籤制度的範圍進一步擴大，剛才也有同事提及這個制度的發展歷史，從開始實施至各個階段的發展。
As a matter of fact the Amendment Order seeks to further extend the scope of the energy efficiency labelling scheme and earlier on colleagues have recounted the history of the development of this scheme and the various phases of development since the scheme was implemented
洗衣機在上一階段已涵蓋，但現階段擴大至額定洗衣量超過7公斤，但不超過10公斤的洗衣機。
Washing machines are already covered in the previous phase but the proposed phase extends the coverage to washing machines with rated washing capacity exceeding 7 kg but not exceeding 10 kg
政府當前的建議，是順理成章的行為，既然第一及第二階段的計劃開始深入民心，又得到業界支持開展，當局理應進一步擴展計劃。
It is a matter of course for the Government to put forward these proposals . Since the first and second phases of the scheme have started to gain popular support and the industries are also supportive of their implementation it only stands to reason for the authorities to extend the scheme further
我認為這種說法絕對是脫離現實，絕不適宜。因為產品的耗電量或節能情況，受實質條件限制，並非按議員主觀意願決定省電量，我相信消費者十分明白這點，因同一類電器產品可能有不同的功能。
I think this view is absolutely unrealistic and utterly inappropriate because the energy consumption or energy efficiency of the products is subject to the actual conditions and it is not the case that their energy savings can be determined according to Members subjective wish . I trust that consumers understand this point very well because even electrical appliances of the same type may have different functions
這是一個自由市場，我們需要有不同的產品供消費者選擇。
This is a free market and we need to have different products to provide choices for consumers
當然，我們希望具備不同功能的同類型產品，可以盡量做到節省能源，所以現在的分級制度是有其理由的。
Certainly we hope that products of the same type but with different functions can achieve as much energy savings as possible and so there is reason for the current grading system to exist
從數據上而言，以窗口式空調為例，第一級較第三級多節省11%，而較第五級則多省25%電力，所以分級是有理由的。
In terms of statistics and take window - type air conditioners as an example there is energy saving of 11 % for Grade 1 over Grade 3 and 25 % over Grade 5
因此，當有同事在發言時連有關分級制也作出批評時，我認為只是為了消耗時間，因為有關安排在制度實施的前兩個階段已清楚說明。
Therefore it is reasonable to set out the grading levels . In this connection when colleagues criticized even the grading system in their speeches I think they only intended to burn time because this arrangement had been clearly accounted for upon implementation of the system in the first two phases
此外，有同事認為有需要中止辯論，好讓環境局再認真考慮是否需要涵蓋所有剩餘的電器類別。
Moreover some colleagues considered it necessary to adjourn the debate so as to enable the Environment Bureau to further consider the need to cover all the remaining types of electrical appliances
主席，這個說法也是極不合邏輯的。
President this view is grossly illogical
早前的計劃需要分兩個階段實施，正正因為在每一階段涵蓋的電器，均須經過測試來確定耗能狀況，當中涉及很多技術上的考量，亦要與業界研究，各方互相配合。
It was necessary to implement the scheme in two phases previously because the electrical appliances covered in each phase had to be tested in order to ascertain their energy consumption status and in the process a lot of technical considerations were involved and it was also necessary to conduct studies with the industries and rely on the complementary efforts of all sides
因此，如果議員認為現時應中止辯論，以讓政府考慮涵蓋所有電器，這只是空話。
Therefore if Members consider that the debate should be adjourned for the Government to consider extending the coverage to all electrical appliances it is merely empty talk
事實上，大家不難找到早前的紀錄，當中提到，"政府當局表示，在推行強制性標籤計劃第三階段後，其涵蓋範圍會與其他先進經濟體系不遑多讓，涵蓋產品的用電量將佔每年住宅用電量約70%。
In fact it should not be difficult for Members to look up the past records of meetings which stated that the Administration advised that the coverage of the Mandatory Energy Efficiency Labelling Scheme after implementation of the third phase which would account for about 70 % of the annual electricity consumption in the residential sector compared favourably to those of other advance[d] economies
當然，我們可以責成政府處理餘下的30%，但這過程並不簡單。
Certainly we can make the Government take steps to handle the remaining 30 % but it is not going to be an easy task
主席，在20世紀，人類的科技無疑突飛猛進，但與此同時，我們的耗能和排放量的增長亦非常驚人，而這並非我們希望看到的增長。
President in the 20 century the technology of human beings has doubtlessly advanced by leaps and bounds but at the same time our energy consumption and emissions have recorded astonishing growth growth that we do not wish to see
如今，我們已進入一個信息年代，我們每天在生活和工作上的耗能量也很厲害。
Now as we have already entered an information age our energy consumption in daily life and work is astonishing
無論在任何情況下也要"拉布"，整個社會的運作被癱瘓。
Their filibustering whatever the circumstances may be is paralysing the operation of the entire society
能源標籤涉及市民和全港未來的發展利益，我認為絕對不能拖延。
Energy efficiency labelling involves the interests of the people and the future development of Hong Kong . I hold that it must absolutely not be delayed any further
近數年，立法會因為"拉布"而浪費不少納稅人的金錢，拖延很多本港的建設，拖延很多關乎民生的項目，究竟拖延和"拉布"是否香港市民想看到的呢？
In recent years due to filibustering in the Legislative Council taxpayers money was wasted and many construction projects and items concerning peoples livelihood were delayed . Are delays and filibustering actually what Hong Kong people want to see?
最終要香港市民承擔和結帳呢？
Do Hong Kong people eventually have to bear the consequences and foot the bill?
這項根據《能源效益條例》動議的擬議決議案，理應很順利獲得通過，讓政府向前邁進多一步，做好這方面的工作。
This proposed resolution under the Energy Efficiency Ordinance should have been passed smoothly so that the Government can move one step forward in doing a proper job in this regard
這是關乎全港市民的利益，所以，我希望在未來的時間，反對派議員能回頭是岸，不要再"拉布"。
This is about the interests of all Hong Kong people so I hope the opposition camp will come back onto the right track and stop filibustering
舉例而言，香港的溫室氣體排放在1990年代達到歷史高峰，現在則為17%。
For instance the level of greenhouse gas emission in Hong Kong reached its historic peak in the 1990s while it is now at 17 %
根據亞洲太平洋經濟合作組織的數據，香港人均用電約5,600度，較美國、加拿大、日本及新加坡為低。
According to the data from the Asia - Pacific Economic Cooperation the electricity consumption per capita in Hong Kong is 5 600 kWh lower than the United States Canada Japan and Singapore
這說明了能源標籤政策能帶給香港另一種優勢，亦能讓我們向世界傳達信息，表達香港願意在節能減排上貢獻力量。
This shows that the initiative of energy efficiency labelling can give Hong Kong another edge and convey a message to the world that Hong Kong is prepared to make contribution towards energy conservation and emission reduction
更重要的是，消費者可根據能源標籤選擇更節電的電器，紓解經濟負擔。
More importantly consumers financial burden can be relieved by choosing appliances which are more energy efficient according to the energy labels
我落區時很多市民問我："柯議員，為何如此簡單的能源標籤政策也要花如此長時間處理？
When I visited the local districts people often asked me Mr OR why does it take so long for such a simple energy efficiency labelling policy to process?
"我經常只說一句話：如果政策對香港好，我們定會"舉手舉腳"支持。
As I often said if a policy is beneficial to Hong Kong we definitely will render it total and absolute support
當然，我們明白有些議員根本不知道亦不在乎何謂能源標籤，因為他們不了解低收入家庭面對電費開支的壓力，必須精打細算。
Of course I understand that some Members do not know or do not care what are energy labels because they are not aware that low - income households must calculate every cent carefully under the pressure of electricity bills
代理主席，以我所知，能源標籤政策爭議較少，整個方案也是為了香港的整體發展利益。
Deputy President as far as I understand it there was little controversy over the policy on energy efficiency labelling . The proposal is for the benefit of the overall development of Hong Kong
反對派議員並非為了表現他們的熱心，而是想透過"拉布"來達到其政治目的，我們一定要讓在電視機旁看直播的市民認識這一點，也要盡快落實能源標籤，解決現正面對的全球暖化及能源效益問題。
Members of the opposition camp did not aim at showing their enthusiasm on the issue but rather at achieving their political goals through filibustering . We must make people watching the live broadcast on television realize this . We must also implement energy efficiency labelling expeditiously in order to solve global warming and energy efficiency issues that we are facing right now
我們不標榜自己為環保人士，但我們知道，如果不向前走的話，便會放棄很多發展機會。
We do not claim to be environmentalists but we know that we will give up many opportunities of development if we do not move forward
代理主席，能源標籤獲得通過對環保有莫大好處。
Deputy President the passage of this resolution on energy efficiency labelling will be enormously helpful to environment protection
我作為香港的一分子，必須保護好環境，不單為了我們這一代，更為了下一代設想，在環保上出一分力。
As a member of Hong Kong we must protect our environment not only for our own generation but also for the next generation
如果不利用能源標籤政策進行規管，我們將無法有效控制溫室氣體的排放，對香港環境的長期損害將無法想象。
Without an energy efficiency labelling policy we will be unable to efficiently control greenhouse gases emission and thus the long - term harms caused to the environment in Hong Kong will be unimaginable
我們必須為這一代和下一代着想，因此，把這5類電器納入能源效益標籤計劃第三階段，我認為合理而必要。
For the benefit of this generation and the next I think it is reasonable and necessary to include these five types of electrical products in the third phase of Mandatory Energy Efficiency Labelling Scheme
希望反對派議員不要再浪費時間作無謂的拖延。
I hope Members of the opposition camp will stop wasting time on undue procrastination
代理主席，我想強調，若我們真的要做好環保工作，我希望大家也能向前看。
Deputy President I must stress that everyone should look ahead in order to do a good job of environmental protection
我亦必須強 調，節能減排的效果並非立竿見影，而是要透過政策的實踐，不斷摸索和完善。
I must also stress that the efforts at energy conservation and emission reduction do not yield instant results . Rather the policy must be continuously explored and refined through implementation
如果我們不給予機會實施，政策又如何可完善呢？
How can the policy be refined if it is not given the chance of being implemented?
能源標籤政策一再被拖延，我相信對於香港的發展並無好處，對推動環保亦無好處。
I believe repeated delays to the energy efficiency labelling policy are neither conducive to the development of Hong Kong nor to the promotion of environmental protection
如果在各方面都能夠節省，對於基層市民、居住在惡劣環境的市民，或者"餐搵餐食餐餐清"的市民，都有很正面的幫助。
Economizing here and there is already helpful to the grass roots who live in poor conditions or those who can barely make ends meet
如果這項政策不能夠通過或有任何閃失，我相信他們將要承擔高昂的電費，而這並非大家想看到的情況。
Should this policy fail to pass I believe they will have to bear expensive electricity bills which is the last thing we would wish to see
過往在不同的環保議題之上，我看到宣傳方面有許多改善的空間。
I saw much room for improvement in the publicity work on various environmental issues in the past
我期望政府官員能夠多走入社區，向市民介紹這些新政策。
I expect government officials to reach out more to the local communities in introducing new policies to the public
他們許多時候忽略了區議會這一層地方行政諮詢機構。
Government officials often neglect the local administration advisory body that is the District Councils of which I am also a member
立法會有機會進行辯論，區議會方面是否也可以多走兩步，而非單單去某些區議會的委員會？
We have the chance to debate the subject in the Legislative Council but should we take a few steps more also in the District Councils instead of only attending certain committee meetings thereof?
我要求政府官員到地方行政最前線的分區委員會、互助委員會和法團去做宣傳，因為這些是你們的拍檔，你們應該與他們共同合作，做好宣傳工作。
I urge government officials to reach out to the front line of local administration that is Area Committees mutual aid committees and owners corporations who are actually their partners with whom they should work together on the publicity
法團和互委會的朋友，甚至我們區議員，都很願意將信息帶給市民，加上他們亦有很好的平台，能夠讓市民知道這是一項好政策，教導市民如何去選擇電器產品。
Friends in owners corporations mutual aid committees and District Council members are most willing to relay the message to the public on their effective platforms in order to let people know that this is a good policy and teach them how to choose electrical appliances
如果宣傳能夠到位和"貼地"，我有信心市民一定會全力支持。
I am confident that the public will fully support a policy if publicity efforts are in place and down - to - earth
代理主席，我認為既然大家同心同德去做好這件事，便應該"舉手舉腳"支持。
Deputy President since everyone is making a concerted effort to do a good job of this I believe we should give it our full support
我希望這項決議案能夠盡快通過，不要拖延，因此我 在此呼籲反對派的議員不要再用"拉布"的伎倆，多為香港市民做實事，特別是為選我們進入立法會的市民做事。
I hope this resolution can be passed expeditiously without delay . Hence I hereby urge Members of the opposition camp to refrain from playing their filibustering tricks . I urge them to do more solid work for Hong Kong people especially for those who elected us as Legislative Council Members
但無論如何，我希望我們能夠為市民着想，急市民所急，想市民所想。
But in any case I hope that we all think what people think and address peoples pressing needs
當局估計本港每年可額外節省約1億5,000萬度電，這幅度將佔強制性能源效益標籤計劃整體節能數量的四分之一，亦等於減少排放約10萬公噸二氧化碳，有助紓緩全球氣候變化。
The authorities estimated that an additional annual energy saving of around 150 million kWh can be achieved for Hong Kong . The amount of energy saved which accounts for a quarter of the total energy saving of MEELS and is equivalent to an annual reduction of carbon dioxide emission of around 105 000 tonnes will be conducive to alleviating the global climate change
這計劃亦會為工商界帶來新機遇，可以透過市場力量發揮正面的推動作用，促使他們透過創新科技來設計和生產更具能源效益的產品，增強在市場上的競爭力，同時利便廣大消費者實行綠色生活。
MEELS will also bring new opportunities to the industrial and commercial sectors and through market force positive incentives can be provided to stimulate the industries to with the application of innovative technologies design and manufacture products that are more energy efficient thereby enhancing their competitiveness in the market and at the same time facilitating the adoption of green practices by consumers at large in their living
總括而言，這將有助推動本港朝綠色經濟的方向邁進。
In short this will be helpful to Hong Kongs development in the direction of green economy
代理主席，值得關注的是，雖然國際間早已有廣泛共識，亦簽訂不同的國際協議，合力應對氣候變化，減少排放溫室氣體，可惜至今成效並不令人樂觀。
Deputy President what is worthy of concern is that despite the wide consensus long reached in the international community and the conclusion of various international agreements pledging to make concerted efforts to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions it is regrettable that the results have been far from optimistic
聯合國環境規劃署的最新報告顯示，《巴黎協定》的減排承諾只是達到避免氣候變化最壞影響所需減排水平的三分之一，各持份者需要共同邁出更大的步伐，才能確保實現《協定》設定的減排目標。
According to the latest report of the United Nations Environment Programme the pledges for emission reduction made under the Paris Agreement are only a third of what is required to pre - empt the worst impacts of climate change and stakeholders have to take greater strides in concert to ensure that the emission reduction targets of the Paris Agreement will be achieved
與此同時，美國總統在國際譴責聲中已宣布會 退出《協定》，並且預計約於2020年成事。
Meanwhile the President of the United States has amidst international condemnation announced the withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Agreement which is expected to take effect in around 2020
雖然美國仍然有代表團出席近日在德國波恩舉行的《聯合國氣候變化框架公約》締約方大會會議，而美國一些州和城市對氣候政策亦具有一定自主權，應對氣候變化行動不會因聯邦政府的政策而停滯，但這些種種不明朗的因素均令人擔憂。
Although the United States deputation still attended the Conference of the Parties under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change held in Bonn recently and some states and cities in the United States enjoy a certain degree of autonomy over their climate policy and their actions to combat climate change will not be stalled by the policy of the Federal Government these uncertainties nevertheless still give cause for concern
代理主席，由氣候變化帶來的極端天氣已令全球各地飽受困擾，例如出現更多的超級颱風、超強暴雨等，香港亦不例外。
Deputy President extreme weather events brought forth by climate change have already caused immense frustration to various places worldwide . For example there have been more instances of super typhoon super rainstorm and so on and Hong Kong is no exception
當中首當其衝的島國早已向國際發出哀號，例如馬爾代夫希望買島救亡、今年斐濟在波恩氣候大會亦呼籲世界團結一致。
Among the affected places the island countries that are the first to bear the brunt have long let out a wail to the international community . For instance the Maldives hope to save themselves by purchasing islands and Fiji also appealed for unity in the world at the climate meeting in Bonn
香港人作為地球村的一員，我們很應該不遺餘力，為節能減排作出每分貢獻才是。
Being a member of the village earth Hongkongers should spare no effort to make every possible bit of contribution to energy conservation and emission reduction
代理主席，我發言支持政府根據《能源效益條例》第54條提出的擬議決議案。
Deputy President I speak in support of the proposed resolution put forth by the Government under section 54 of the Energy Efficiency Ordinance
氣候變化與全球暖化的問題，是全人類現在面對最迫切的問題之一，也可以說是我們認為最難解決的問題。
Climate change and global warming are the most pressing problems faced by the human race as a whole and it may be regarded as the hardest to tackle
我們常說，今天才討論節能減排是否已經太遲。
We often ask whether it is too late to talk about energy conservation and emission reduction today
其實，人類浪費了許多時間在爭拗上。
In fact we human race have wasted a lot of time on disputes
可是，當時有許多陰謀論。
However conspiracies about the issues were widely circulated at that time
我記得當時有許多學者表示氣候變化問題純粹是陰謀，實際並沒有這回事，又指這是某些國家提出來嚇人，以期銷售他們自己的產品或包裝自己。
I remember that many scholars had denied the validity of those climate change concerns and criticized them as mere conspiracies while some considered them alarmist talk raised by certain countries to promote their products or package their countries
當然，地球氣候有不斷的變化周期，地球也經歷過多個冰河時期。
Certainly there are cycles of global climate change and the earth has undergone a number of ice ages
可是，近數十年，全球氣溫上升的速度，卻與人類的生活習慣有莫大關係。
However in the past few decades the rise in global temperature was closely related to the habits of mankind
人類在衣食住行的習慣，以及我們的消費模式，令全球氣溫在過去數十年上升得非常快。
The habits of human beings in daily life as well as our mode of consumption have driven up global temperature at an extremely rapid pace
今時今日甚少人會再說沒有氣候變化和全球暖化的問題。
Today very few people will deny the problem of climate change and global warming
新任美國總統是例外，他竟然一下子推翻此事，敢膽與全球作對，認為無需處理氣候變化及全球暖化。
Yet the new President of the United States of America is an exception . He dares renounce these problems and go against the world as a whole thinking it is unnecessary to address climate change and global warming
香港作為一個國際城市，我們的碳足跡和生態足跡也很嚴峻。
Hong Kong as a cosmopolitan city is facing a serious problem of carbon footprint and ecological footprint
在我們的生態足跡當中，包括了個人日常的衣食住行，大廈、公司企業、政府和立法會的所有用電等。
Our ecological footprint includes our daily activities in meeting our basic needs and the power consumption of buildings companies enterprises the Government and the Legislative Council and so on
作為世界公民，香港有責任用盡一切方法減少香港的碳足跡。
As a global citizen Hong Kong is obliged to minimize its carbon footprint by all means
至於我們今天討論有關能源標籤的決議案，是強制性能源效益標籤計劃的第三階段，我們必定要支持。
As for the resolution relating to energy labels under discussion today it is the third phase of the Mandatory Energy Efficiency Labelling Scheme MEELS and we must render it our support
回顧歷史，本港在2008年推行首階段的強制性能源效益標籤計劃，當時只涵蓋3類產品，即空調、冷凍器具及慳電膽。
Back then when the first phase of MEELS was introduced in 2008 only three types of products were included namely air conditioners refrigerating appliances compact fluorescent lamps
到2009年，推出了第二階段，加入了洗衣機及抽濕機。
By 2009 the second phase was introduced to include washing machines and dehumidifiers
我們也知道，當越來越多市民使用這些具能源效益的器具，我們便可大量節省能源，繼而減低發電廠的溫室氣體排放及空氣污染物，而對市民來說，這些標籤亦可以讓他們有真正的選擇。
We all know that as the number of people using these energy efficient appliances increases we may achieve significant energy saving thereby reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases by power plants and of air pollutants . To the public these labels offer genuine choices to them
很多人也知道，我近兩年正推動智慧城市的發展。
Many people know that I have been promoting the development of smart city in the past two years
