但是，我相信大家都會同意，主席，香港經歷了5年的驚濤駭浪，我們能否再抵受未來5年同等甚至更激烈的驚濤駭浪？
That said President I believe all of us agree that after going through fearful storms over the past five years can hardly go through the same or even worse storms in the coming five years
我相信無論坐在會議廳那邊還是我們這邊的同事都有一致的想法，我們需要的並非是更多驚濤駭浪。
I believe that Members sitting on that side or this side of the Chamber all hold the same view that fearful storm is the least thing we want
主席，選舉從來都應該是公平、公正，選民的意志應該得到尊重，亦從來不應該被干預。
President election should invariably be conducted in a fair and impartial manner and the will of electors should be respected and should never be interfered
在星期日，我們能否在即使是小圈子選舉中都能展示本身應有的智慧，不單靠在席的70位議員同事，也要靠另外1,000多人。
This Sunday whether we can demonstrate the due wisdom even in a small - circle election does not merely count on the 70 Members present but also the other 1 000 - odd electors
希望大家在星期日真的能按自己的良心和智慧，投出一票不後悔的選票，5年後回望，對得起自己。
I hope that Members will on that day on the basis of their conscience and wisdom cast a vote which they will not regret so that when they look back five years later they have not failed themselves
希望在席的同事亦考慮支持我的修正案。
I hope that Members present will also consider supporting my amendment
代理主席，很多香港人都知道本星期日是新一屆行政長官的選舉日，究竟行政長官是一個怎麼樣的職位？
Deputy President many Hong Kong people know that this Sunday is the day for electing the next Chief Executive . What is the job description of the post of the Chief Executive?
我們可以從《基本法》的條文中找到答案。
We can find the answer from the provisions of the Basic Law
根據《基本法》：第一，行政長官不單對香港特區負責，亦同時對中央人民政府負責。
According to the Basic Law first the Chief Executive shall be accountable to not only the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR but also the Central Peoples Government
第二，行政長官在香港通過選舉產生，但亦需要由中央人民政府任命。
Second the Chief Executive shall be selected by election in Hong Kong and appointed by the Central Peoples Government
第三，行政長官的職權除了領導香港特區政府之外，還要執行中央人民政府就《基本法》規定的有關事務發出的指令，以及處理中央授權的對外事務。
Third the Chief Executive shall exercise the powers and functions of leading the HKSAR Government implementing the directives issued by the Central Peoples Government in respect of the relevant matters provided for in the Basic Law and conducting external affairs as authorized by the Central Authorities
從我剛才提及的《基本法》條文，可以清楚看到行政長官選舉不單是香港的大事，亦是國家的事。
From the Basic Law provisions referred to just now we can see clearly that the Chief Executive Election is not only an important issue in Hong Kong but also a responsibility of China
因此，中央政府關心香港行政長官選舉是理所當然的事。
Thus it is just natural for the Central Peoples Government to be concerned about the Chief Executive Election
而事實上，在過去數個月不單過去數個月而是過去1年很多駐港的外國領事館人員亦四出跟社會各界人士談論及了解有關行政長官選舉的事宜。
In fact over the past few months not the past few months but the past year many officials of various foreign consuls in Hong Kong have taken the initiative to meet with members from different sectors of society to discuss and enquire about matters concerning the Chief Executive Election
但是，如果有人覺得外國政府關心並無問題，但對中央政府的關心卻大驚小怪，究竟這是中央政府的問題還是這些人本身有問題？
However if some people consider that there is no problem for foreign countries to be concerned about the Chief Executive Election but are alarmed by the concern expressed by the Central Peoples Government does the problem lie in the Central Peoples Government or these people?
黃碧雲議員剛才指出，她認同中央政府的關心並沒有問題，但卻不可以說三道四。
Dr Helena WONG pointed out earlier that while she agreed that there was no problem for the Central Peoples Government to be concerned she considered that it should not make irresponsible comments
我跟你說一句話，究竟是關心還是你會覺得我是說三道四？
Suppose I said something to you . Would you take it as an expression of concern or an irresponsible comment?
我相信這與個人立場很有關係，人言人殊。
I think it will depend on your stance as different people interpret things differently
如果純粹從你本身的感覺出發，我想難以界定究竟何謂關心及說三道四。
If you interpret a remark solely by how you feel about it I think it will be difficult for you to differentiate an expression of concern from an irresponsible comment
再者，代理主席，到目前為止，其實我們沒有看到有任何中央官員公開表態支持某位候選人。
Furthermore Deputy President so far no official of the Central Peoples Government has publicly shown support for any candidate
說到底，大家至今所談論的都只有國務院港澳事務辦公室主任王光亞曾經在接受訪問時，提出下任行政長官的4項原則。
Indeed the matter referred to by Members up till now is simply that Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council WANG Guangya has named four criteria of the Chief Executive of the next term in an interview
大家都知道這4項原則是非常概括的條件，沒有指明支持任何候選人，不單3位候選人沒有非議，香港人亦廣泛認同。
We all know that these four criteria are put in very generalized terms without any indication of support for any particular candidate . These criteria are not disputed by the three candidates and they are widely accepted by Hong Kong people
姚松炎議員今天提出的議案，特別要求本會促請中央人民政府不得干預本港的行政長官選舉，而莫乃光議員及毛孟靜議員的修正案更指中央人民政府插手干預行政長官選舉，又或是甚麼"強力影響"選舉委員會委員的投票決定。
The motion moved by Dr YIU Chung - yim today specifically asks this Council to urge the Central Peoples Government not to interfere in the Chief Executive Election in Hong Kong whereas the amendments proposed by Mr Charles Peter MOK and Ms Claudia MO even allege that the Central Peoples Government has meddled in the Chief Executive Election or vigorously influenced the voting decisions of members of the Election Committee EC
然而，大家只要細心看看修正案內 容，就會發覺根本沒有提出任何具體證據或例子，他們只是"買保險"，在內容內推搪說"有報道指"。
However if we read carefully the contents of those amendments we will notice that these Members have not given any specific evidence or example . They have only sought to issue a disclaimer by using the phrase it has been reported in their amendments
這種捕風捉影甚至子虛烏有的做法，對香港可以說是百害而無一利。
This practice of making groundless accusations or even making things up will bring nothing but harm to Hong Kong
楊岳橋議員今天早上說香港市民對今次行政長官選舉感到欷歔、疑慮。
Mr Alvin YEUNG said this morning that Hong Kong people felt disheartened and worried about the Chief Executive Election this time
沒錯，因為反對派的議員、選委及一些媒體的邏輯和言行，的確令市民感到混亂及無所適從。
He is right because the logic and behaviour of the opposition Members some of the EC members and the media have really confused and baffled the people
反對派一直以來都反對人大八三一框架，但卻全力支持及認同八三一框架下的候選人。
The opposition camp has all along opposed the 31 August framework put forward by the National Peoples Congress yet they fully support and agree with a candidate nominated under this framework
他們一邊說以民意作為投票的依歸，但民調最終的結果還未公布，他們就跑出來說全部投票給某位指定的候選人。
They said that public opinion should be used as the basis of their voting but before the final results of the opinion poll were released they quickly came forward and said that all of them would vote for a certain candidate
最可笑的是，公民黨說支持某位候選人，但我留意到這位候選人說不知道為何公民黨會支持自己，只客氣的說雖然大家未曾見面，相信對方可能是認同自己的政綱。
There is one thing I find most laughable . While the Civic Party has declared its support for a certain candidate the candidate said that he did not know why the Civic Party supported him and out of courtesy he said that although he had not met with these people he believed that the Civic Party supported him because it agreed with the contents of his election platform
我相信政綱當中也包括他所提及的"廿三條"及八三一框架。
I believe that means the contents of his election platform which include enacting legislation under Article 23 of the Basic Law and the 31 August framework
罪狀一，這位候選人的兒子曾擔任內地市級政協；罪狀二，他現時的助理曾擔任建制派的議員助理。
The first accusation against him was that his son had acted as a member of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference at the city level and the second one was that his current assistant had been the assistant of a pro - establishment Member
我想提醒反對派的議員，這些惡意抹黑的行為才是干預今次的行政長官選舉，不過你們卻視若無睹。
I wish to remind the opposition Members that such malicious smearing is a real attempt to interfere in the Chief Executive Election this time even though they choose to turn a blind eye to it
大家都知道行政長官的選舉是投"暗票"的，早前政制及內地事務局局長譚志源在立法會會議廳答覆議員質詢的時候亦指出，選委的投票是不記名，百分之二百能確保"暗票"是"很暗"的，沒有人有可能知道選委投了票給哪一位候選人。
We know that the Chief Executive Election shall be conducted in secret ballots . When Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Raymond TAM answered a Members question in this Chamber earlier he pointed out that EC members would elect the Chief Executive by secret ballot and double efforts would be made to ensure that the Chief Executive Election by secret ballot would be conducted in a completely and absolutely secret manner so that no one would know which candidate each EC member had voted in support of
局長甚至承諾會拆除在投票場地的閉路電視，保障選委有實質的不記名投票權。
The Secretary even promised to remove the CCTVs installed at the polling stations to guarantee that all EC members would enjoy the substantive power of election by secret ballot
所以，我相信今次行政長官選舉的投票過程是保密及令人放心的。
Thus I believe that the voting process of the Chief Executive Election this time will be conducted in a confidential manner so as to ensure that people can rest assured
說到底，所有香港人今次不能投票選行政長官，的確是因為泛民拒絕接受政府當年提出的方案。
To get to the root of the matter it is because of the refusal of the pan - democrats to accept the Governments proposal back then that not all Hong Kong people can vote in the Chief Executive Election this time
然而，他們其實是在"搏大霧"，因為他們忘記了泛民當時堅持要求公民提名，完全不肯就原政改方案作出任何討論，亦沒有就多少票才可以出閘表達任何意見。
Nevertheless the pan - democrats are really trying to take advantage of a confusing situation because they have forgotten that it was they who insisted on implementing civil nomination completely refused to discuss on the constitutional reform package and did not express any view on the number of votes required for a candidate to enter the stage of committee nomination
因此，如果他們想獲赦免扼殺政改的罪，非常遺憾，他們當時並沒有提過任何關於政改方案的反建議，他們沒有做任何工作，的確是扼殺了香港政改方案的元兇。
Therefore I have to regrettably say that the pan - democrats cannot be pardoned for defeating the constitutional reform package because they have neither put forward any counter - proposal nor have they done any work at all . They are really the culprits for defeating the constitutional reform package of Hong Kong
梁議員，我們今天討論的重點是特首選舉如何被干預。
Mr LEUNG our discussion today should focus on how this Chief Executive Election has been interfered
周浩鼎議員剛才提出一些例子，他認為泛民陣營人士參選是干預選舉結果；如果"民主300+"成員同一意向，聯合投票給某位候選人，也是一種干預。
A moment ago Mr Holden CHOW cited some examples claiming that when people from the pan - democracy camp take part in the election it is meant to interfere with the election outcome or if members of the Democrats 300 vote all in for a particular candidate it is also a kind of interference
我知道周議員很喜歡攻擊民主派的同事，但請他用一些較高水平的邏輯思維。
Though I am aware of Mr CHOWs propensity to lash out at Honourable colleagues from the pro - democracy camp he should do so with more logical arguments
泛民主派的選舉委員會委員本身就是《基本法》之下有權參選、有權投票的人，他們用甚麼策略，或是否參選以影響 選舉結果，這是他們的權利。
Members of the Election Committee EC from the pan - democracy camp have the legitimate right to stand for election as well as the right to vote as stipulated in the Basic Law . They have the right to decide what strategies they want to use or whether they want to affect the election outcome by standing for election
是中央人民政府駐香港特別行政區聯絡辦公室、中聯辦人員、中聯辦主任、國務院港澳事務辦公室官員、政治局委員。
They are the Liaison Office of the Central Peoples Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region LOCPG including its personnel and its Director the officials of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council HKMAO as well as the members of the Politburo
他們打電話拉票、相約飯局、透過中間人傳話等，向真正有選票的選委施壓，指示他們怎樣投票，這才是真正的干預。
They call EC members to canvass votes hold dinner parties or send messages through middlemen and so on in order to exert pressures on EC members who are the bona fide electors and instruct them how to vote . This is what we mean by real interference
這些中聯辦、港澳辦人員、政治局委員正正就是《基本法》第二十二條所訂"各部門、各省、自治區、直轄市均不得干預"香港事務的人。
These personnel of LOCPG and HKMAO as well as the members of the Politburo fall exactly within the scope of Article 22 of the Basic Law which stipulates that [n]o department no province autonomous region or municipality directly under the Central Government may interfere in the affairs of Hong Kong
所以，我請周議員用較高水平的邏輯思維與我們辯論。
That is why I think Mr CHOW should say something more logical if he wants to debate with us
實際上，他們有否干預？
Have those personnel actually interfered in the election?
讓我舉一些例子，有選委早前指中聯辦為一位行政長官候選人拉票，梁愛詩認為沒有甚麼問題，每個人都有言論自由，她確認了這種情況的確存在。
Let me give some examples . When an EC member said earlier that LOCPG had canvassed votes for a particular candidate of the Chief Executive Election Elsie LEUNG commented that there was nothing wrong about it as everyone had the freedom of speech
又例如，人大常委范太也說過；早前有報道指，有選委因為中聯辦的壓力而提名某位行政長官候選人，范太說她覺得這情況有可能，她看報紙和聽電台節目後也覺得有人會這樣做，可能很少數，但有人會這樣做。
Her response confirmed that such a situation did exist . Take for example the comments made by Mrs FAN a member of the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress . Responding to earlier reports that an EC member nominated a particular candidate owing to pressures from LOCPG Mrs FAN said that it was probably the case because from what she gathered from the newspapers and radio programmes she felt that some persons though only a handful might take similar actions
這就是實實在在的干預，這才是真正的欽點，以及令選舉不公正的干預。
This is genuine interference . This is genuine preordination and such interference has made the election unfair
我們已經多次指出，今次行政長官選舉是荒謬的，它本身已是小圈子選舉，沒有得到市民授權而選出行政長官。
As we pointed out repeatedly this Chief Executive Election is ridiculous . As the election is coterie in nature the Chief Executive so elected does not have the peoples mandate
然而，即使是小圈子選舉，最低限度也要公正、公平、公道，但不是這樣，他們用這些中央欽點、干預的方式，以致選舉最基本的公平、公正都做不到。
But even though it is a coterie election it could at least be held in an equitable fair and impartial manner . But this is not the case . These personnel have interfered in the election through preordination by the Central Authorities such that the election cannot even be held under the most basic requirements of being fair and equitable
政府的態度又如何？
What then is the Governments attitude?
政府負責執行整個行政長官選舉，有責任確保選舉公平、公正，但政府的態度是怎樣？
As the Government is responsible for holding the Chief Executive election it is duty - bound to ensure the fairness and equity of the election . But what is the Governments attitude?
接着，我們提出有人打電話拉票、施壓，政府便說這些全是道聽塗說、謠言，沒有證據，又說全港很多市民都會發表意見，不便作出評論。
Then we raised questions about making phone calls to canvass votes or exerting pressures and the Government responded that all those were rumours or hearsay unsubstantiated by evidence . The Government added that many people in Hong Kong had also expressed their opinions about the election and it would be inappropriate to comment on them individually
我今次不打算與局長討論一些具體例子，我不會要求他評論個別例子。
Let me make myself clear . I do not intend to discuss specific cases with the Secretary in this debate and neither will I ask him to comment on individual cases
既然《基本法》第二十二條已訂明，各部門、各省、自治區、直轄市均不得干預香港自治範圍的事務，我請你稍後回應時確認他們應否這樣做。
Since Article 22 of the Basic Law has already stipulated that no department province autonomous region or municipality directly under the Central Government may interfere in the affairs of Hong Kong within the scope of its autonomy I invite you to confirm when you speak in response later whether they should act in the ways I mentioned previously
他們這樣做，影響了香港公平、公正的選舉。
As a result of their actions Hong Kongs elections cannot be held in a fair and equitable manner
政府、整個中央政府及建制派正是用溫水煮蛙的方法，令香港人習慣這種干預。
The Government the Central Government as a whole as well as the pro - establishment camp have adopted the approach of boiling frogs in lukewarm water to make Hong Kong people slowly accustomed to such interference
這種溫水煮蛙的方法令干預"常態化"，亦助長了干預"常態化"。
The effect of boiling frogs in lukewarm water is that interference will become normalized which further fuels the normalization of interference
我希望香港人可以看到今次選舉是荒謬的，是在欽點、干預之下進行的選舉。
I hope Hong Kong people can see how ridiculous this election is because it is conducted under preordination and interference
我呼籲香港人勇敢站起來，透過長期的公民運動和民主運動對抗這種干預，爭取真普選、民主政制，不忘初衷。
I call on Hong Kong people to come forward with courage . Let us resist such interference and strive for genuine universal suffrage as well as a democratic political system through sustained citizens movements and democratic movements . Let us not forget our original goal!
代理主席，今個星期日是我們選舉下任特首的大日子，而姚松炎議員今天提出這項"確保行政長官選舉公正進行"的議案，似乎合情合理，因為我們沒有理由不支持特首選舉公正地進行。
Deputy President this coming Sunday is the big day for electing our next Chief Executive it thus seems fair and reasonable for Dr YIU Chung - yim to propose this motion on Ensuring the fair conduct of the Chief Executive Election today because there is no reason for us not to support the fair conduct of the Chief Executive Election
可是，聽罷他的發言內容，便知道完全不是那回事，他根本是在無的放矢，胡說八道。
However after listening to his speech we can see that this is not the case as he was merely hurling criticisms arbitrarily and talking nonsense
他不僅戴上有色眼鏡來看中央在這次選舉中扮演的角色，還妖言惑眾，更"促請中央人民政府所屬各部門不得干預行政長官選舉，包括但不限於促使某候選人當選或不當選，或向選舉委員會委員施壓，使其作出非自願的投票決定。
In addition to viewing through tinted glasses the role played by the Central Authorities in this election he has also spread fallacies and urged the various departments of the Central Peoples Government not to interfere in the Chief Executive Election including but not limited to causing a certain candidate to be or not to be elected or pressurizing members of the Election Committee EC into making voting decisions against their own wills
"換言之，就是說選委受中央部委影響，指中央在這次選舉中指手劃腳。
In other words he was saying that EC members were being influenced by various ministries of the Central Authorities and the Central Authorities were exerting their influence in this election
然而，我認為這是"莫須有"的罪名和指控，完全欠缺事實和證據的支持。
In my view however all this is but an unfounded charge and allegation not substantiated with any fact or evidence
再者，他把我們1,194名選委看成毫無獨立主見，而且不能分辨是非，又批評部分選委只聽令於中央，這根本是在抹黑建制派的選委，完全要不得。
Worse still he has portrayed our 1 194 EC members as people lacking independent thinking and the ability to distinguish right from wrong . He has also criticized that some EC members only receive orders from the Central Authorities . This is absolutely an attempt to sling mud at the pro - establishment camp and is totally unacceptable
他甚至質疑中央的實質任命權，可說是徹頭徹尾的反對派角色。
He has even cast doubt on the Central Authorities substantive power of appointment and this is totally reflective of the opposition role he plays
我想指出，中央和中央駐港部門關心及詢問特首選舉的情況，實屬應有之義，為何會被指為干預呢？
I wish to point out that it is the due responsibility of the Central Authorities and various Central Government offices in Hong Kong to show concern and inquire about the Chief Executive Election why would this be regarded as an intervention?
接着，我想與大家重溫，中央在這次特首選舉過程中公開說過甚麼，以及今年3月在人大政協兩會上通報過些甚麼，好讓大家清楚發生了些甚麼事情。
Now I would like to revisit with Members the remarks made openly by the Central Authorities in the course of this Chief Executive Election as well as the reports delivered at the two sessions of the National Peoples Congress NPC and the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference CPPCC in March this year so as to give Members a clearer picture of what is happening
首先，港澳辦主任王光亞在去年12月底接受《紫荊》雜誌訪問時，首次言明中央就下屆特首所訂的四大標準，即"愛國愛港、中央信任、有管治能力、港人擁護"。
To begin with when the Director of Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office WANG Guangya was interviewed by the Bauhinia Magazine at the end of December last year he explicitly stated for the first time the four major prerequisites of the next Chief Executive namely love for the country and Hong Kong the Central Authorities trust governance ability and Hong Kong peoples support
連反對派亦對這4項標準沒有異議，表示認同，而某些反對派報章甚至引用這番言論，以支持心目中的特首人選。
Even the opposition camp agrees with and has no objection to these four prerequisites . Some opposition newspapers have even made use of this remark to support their favourite Chief Executive candidates
可是，在中央批准兩位司長辭職參加特首選舉後，便開始有人散播消息，指中央支持甲而不支持乙，更有報章譁眾取寵，指中央有派系鬥爭，支持誰上位和不信任誰，然後又說"西環"出動人海戰術拉票，甚至替某人填寫提名表。
However after the Central Authorities approved the resignation of two Bureau Directors for running in the Chief Executive Election some people began to spread the rumour that the Central Authorities support A but not B . Some newspapers even sought to arouse public attention by saying that there was factional struggle within the Central Authorities over who should be put on the pedestal and who should not be trusted and there were also allegations that the Western District was mobilizing a huge number of people to canvass votes and filling up the nomination forms for EC members
此外，更有指"北大人"南下傳話，說得疑幻疑真，繪形繪聲，娛樂性十分豐富，但知情人士一看便知純屬笑料，實質證據完全欠奉，全部是道聽塗說。
Besides there was a rumour that the Northern Overlords had come to the south to deliver a message . Such illusionary allegations are not only vivid but also very entertaining and yet people in the know would simply laugh them off as they are mere hearsay without any substantive support
我身為全國政協委員，親身出席了張德江委員長與政協會面的會議，我可以告訴大家，他絕無提及支持誰或不支持誰。
As a CPPCC member I have personally attended the meeting between ZHANG Dejiang Chairman of the Standing Committee of the NPC NPCSC and CPPCC members and I can tell everyone that he has not said a word about who he supports or does not support
他只是重申王光亞主任列出的四大條件，以及要選出一個"有擔當、能駕馭複雜形勢、團結各界"的特首。
Instead he merely reiterated the four major prerequisites set out by Director WANG Guangya and highlighted the need to elect a Chief Executive who would take on responsibilities have the ability to master complicated situations and unite different sectors
他又強調，中央對特首的要求高於一般司長和局長。
He also stressed that the Central Authorities had higher expectation of the Chief Executive than other directors and secretaries
我非但不見有候選人投訴中央偏幫，反而留意到有候選人公開認同委員長的說法。
Instead of hearing any candidates complaining about the Central Authorities having a biased stance I have noticed a certain candidate openly echoing the views of the NPCSC Chairman
我在北京出席兩會期間，曾與很多不同人士接觸，但從未聽聞中央已有指定特首人選。
While I was in Beijing attending the NPC and CPPCC sessions I met with many different people but never heard anything about the Central Authorities having a handpicked candidate for the post of Chief Executive
大家都可以就支持誰人當特首暢所欲言，有部分委員甚至說提名和投票是兩回事，提名後不一定要投票給該人，因為還要詳細研究候選人的政綱及在諮詢大會上的表現。
We can express our views about the candidates whom we support and some EC members have even said that nomination and voting are two separate issues and they may not necessarily vote for the candidate they have nominated as they need to carefully consider the candidates political platform and performances at the consultation meetings
這委實令我感到有點詫異，難道是在提名時未有好好了解對方的見解，故此想臨陣變卦？
I am really a little astounded by such a remark . Is it because the EC members have not seriously considered the candidates viewpoints during the stage of nomination that they need to change their minds afterwards?
我覺得做人的宗旨必須貫徹始終，不應該左搖右擺。
In my opinion we should hold fast to our principles and refrain from being flip floppers
所以，我希望姚議員或其他泛民議員不要無事生事，存心挑撥港人與中央政府之間的關係。
Therefore I hope that Dr YIM or other pan - democratic Members will stop causing trouble in a bid to disrupt the relations between the people of Hong Kong and the Central Government
然而，正如張委員長在兩會期間提醒我們，香港廣泛的政治化現象對我們毫無益處，他希望泛民議員可以改正他們的心態，不要逢中必反，心中要有中國或中央才是。
And yet just as Chairman ZHANG has reminded us during the two sessions widespread politicization in Hong Kong will not bring us any good . He hopes that the pan - democratic Members will change their mindset and not to oppose China indiscriminately . Rather they should keep China or the Central Authorities in their heart
代理主席，我謹此陳辭，支持周日的選舉公平公正地舉行。
With these remarks Deputy President I support the fair and just conduct of the election to be held on Sunday
周浩鼎議員當然會為中聯辦辯護，但他是律師，很清楚理解《基本法》第二十二條第一款的條文，那些文字的解讀和背後的意思，我相信大家都很清楚，這條文就是"一國兩制"的防火牆。
In other words no department of the Central Peoples Government including the Liaison Office of the Central Peoples Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region LOCPG should interfere in the elections of Hong Kong . Mr Holden CHOW will certainly defend for LOCPG but as a lawyer he should clearly understand the provision of Article 221 of the Basic Law the interpretation of those words and their underlying meaning . I believe Members know very clearly that this provision is the firewall of one country two systems
如果大家說中央在行政長官選舉中有角色，我同意。
If Members say that the Central Authorities have a role to play in the Chief Executive election I agree
