黑衣暴徒除了針對現任區議員、候選人及競選團隊成員的暴力行為之外，亦以有組織和有預謀的連串破壞行動直接干預整個選舉的舉行。
In addition to threatening incumbent DC members candidates and electioneering team members with violence black - clad rioters directly interfered with the Election through a series of vandalizing acts conducted in an organized and premeditated manner
黑衣暴徒在各區堵路，例如在隧道出口處縱火、在港鐵車廂投擲汽油、把雜物和汽油彈掉在鐵路路軌。
They blocked roads in various districts set fires at exits of tunnels hurled petrol bombs into MTR train compartments and threw miscellaneous items and petrol bombs onto the tracks
黑衣暴徒把這些暴力行為，說成是要迫市民參加他們的所謂"三罷"，即罷工、罷市和罷課行動，實際是把市民視作白老鼠，一步步把行動推向區議會選舉投票日，來實現他們口中的"攬炒"。
The black - clad rioters said that the purpose of such violent acts was to force people to take part in a general strike on three fronts by the labour business and education sectors . In fact they were treating people as guinea pigs and gradually extending their actions till the polling day of the DC Election so as to achieve the objective of burning together
主席，今次換屆區議會選舉有1,090位候選人，競逐全港18區合共452個議席，可算是歷來競爭最激烈的選舉。
President there are 1 090 candidates running for the upcoming DC General Election to compete for 452 seats in the 18 districts . It can be said that this is the most contested election ever held in Hong Kong
然而，不論區議會議席的競爭如何激烈，候選人及其競選團隊都必須在公平和公正的選舉氣氛下進行選舉活動。
Despite the keen competition candidates and their electioneering teams must be able to conduct their electoral activities in a fair and just environment
香港歷年的選舉亦以公平、公開、公正見稱。
For years elections in Hong Kong have been renowned for being fair open and just
即使政見不同，也絕對不應向候選人及其團隊施以暴力襲擊，或作出任何恫嚇性的行為。
Difference in political views should not be the excuse for violently assaulting or intimidating other candidates and their electioneering teams
香港歷來多次的區議會或立法會換屆選舉期間，候選人及其競選團隊都會積極拉票。
In the past we have held numerous DC and Legislative Council general elections in Hong Kong during which candidates and their electioneering teams made active efforts to canvass support
即使候選人及競選團隊之間出現爭執，都鮮有發生持械暴力傷人的事件。
Even when disputes arose between candidates and electioneering teams armed assaults rarely took place
始終香港的選舉文化是文明的，大家講求以理服人，期望爭取理性社會的選票。
After all the election culture of Hong Kong is civilized in which various parties try to convince each other by reason and canvass for votes in a rational society
觀乎過往的選舉，即使有爭執及投訴，大部分都是與選舉廣告有關的投訴，例如使用揚聲器、廣播車輛、電話拉票或其他對選民造成滋擾的選舉活動。
As reflected by past elections even if there are disputes and complaints most of the complaints were related to election advertisements such as the use of loud - hailers and broadcast vehicles telephone canvassing and other electoral activities that caused nuisances to electors
今次區議會換屆選舉，正受到一股暴力氣氛籠罩。
The upcoming DC General Election has been clouded by an atmosphere of violence
每逢周末、周日都有暴徒在各區進行非法集會、示威及遊行。
Unlawful assemblies demonstrations and processions of rioters have been taking place in different districts during weekends
即使平日上班的日子，也不時發生"快閃式"的非法示威和遊行，影響市民大眾的日常生活。
Even on workdays during the week there were unlawful demonstrations and processions by flash mobs disrupting the everyday lives of people
而暴徒所到之處，經常無差別地毆打不同政見的市民，可謂目無法紀，行徑嚴重影響社會安全。
Wherever the rioters go they would indiscriminately attack people who hold different political opinions . These rioters have disrespected the law and have seriously affected public safety with their actions
主席，這場選舉是一宗類似"顏色革命"。
President this Election is a kind of colour revolution
如果政府不切實際地期望黑衣暴徒會輕易停止，讓區議會選舉安全有序地進行的話，這完全是緣木求魚。
It is unrealistic for the Government to hope that the black - clad rioters can easily be stopped and that the DC Election can be conducted in a safe and orderly manner . This is as futile as fishing in the air
現時社會和網絡上充斥着仇恨言論，戾氣滿城，"私了"事件頻頻，為今次區議會選舉蒙上腥風血雨。
Our present society and the Internet are laden with hate speeches antagonistic sentiment prevails and incidents of vigilante attacks are frequent hence an atmosphere of fear is looming over the DC Election
現時距離投票不足3天，如果今天可以發生暴徒持兇器襲擊候選人，明天會否有與暴徒政見不同的候選人或競選團隊成員遇襲？
With no more than three days to go the Election will be held . If armed rioters assault candidates today will they attack candidates or electioneering team members holding different political views tomorrow?
因此，我在此呼籲，無論是否認同任何議員或候選人的政見，都不應該訴諸暴力。
Hence I hereby urge all people to stop resorting to violence regardless of whether they agree with the political views of a Member or a candidate
主席，過去5個多月，香港社會早已受夠黑衣暴徒策劃的暴動所威嚇，無數的無辜市民和商鋪受到影響，除了損失金錢之外，最重要的是人身安全已經不受保障。
President Hong Kong society has had enough of the threats posed by the black - clad rioters over the past five months . Not only have countless innocent people and businesses been affected but more importantly the personal safety of citizens is no longer ensured apart from financial losses
特區政府止暴制亂至今，暴力事件仍然不絕。
The SAR Governments efforts to stop violence and curb disorder have yet to quell violent incidents
上星期五，特區政府召開記者會，由政務司司長宣布親自主持一個跨部門行動小組，統籌各相關政策局和部門的工作。
The SAR Government convened a press conference last Friday to announce that an inter - departmental action group chaired by the Chief Secretary for Administration would be formed to coordinate the work undertaken by relevant Policy Bureaux and departments
除了委任懲教署人員自願加入警隊協助工作之外，其他的措施可謂杯水車薪，未能急市民所急。
With the exception of recruiting officers from the Correctional Services Department to join the Police Force on a voluntary basis to provide supporting service all other measures are simply inadequate to meet the peoples pressing needs
單是昨天，早上便有暴徒在網上發起所謂的"黎明行動"，在港鐵月台阻礙列車正常運作，從而阻礙市民上班、上學；中午繼續有人在中環和觀塘發起"快閃"遊行，阻礙交通。
Yesterday morning rioters disrupted MTR train operation to deter people from going to work and to school acting in response to the online call of the so - called Dawn Action; in the afternoon people staged flash mob processions in Central and Kwun Tong blocking traffic
請問跨部門行動小組做了甚麼來幫助受阻的市民大眾？
May I ask what the inter - departmental action group has done to help the people who experienced delays?
遑論是確保選舉公平、公正、安全。
How can it ensure that the Election will be held in a fair just and safe manner?
政制及內地事務局局長日前提出了區議會選舉如期舉行的3個條件，以及確保投票日安全的3項措施，只能說是聊勝於無。
The Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs stated the other day the three criteria for conducting the DC Election as scheduled and three measures to ensure safety on the polling day . We can only say that such initiatives are better than none
暴力事件不息，始終對選舉有重大影響。
If violent incidents cannot be stopped the Election will be seriously affected
其中最重要的是，參與其中的各人，包括候選人、競選團成員、義工、支持者、選民，以及普羅大眾已經沒有了免於恐懼的自由。
Most importantly all parties involved in the Election―candidates electioneering team members volunteers supporters electors and the general public―have already lost their freedom from fear
在這種對立和暴力的氛圍下，試問候選人能否繼續安全和安心地在街頭拉票？
Can candidates feel safe amidst such a divided and violent social atmosphere to canvass votes on the streets?
選民能否不受暴力阻嚇和脅迫地進入投票站投票？
Will electors be able to go to polling stations and cast their votes without being dissuaded and intimidated by violence?
選舉管理委員會昨天表示，已聯同各政策局和部門密切注視情況，積極做好安全預算和應變計劃，就選舉中可能出現的各種情況作出預備。
The Electoral Affairs Commission EAC indicated yesterday that it has been working with different Policy Bureaux and departments to closely monitor the situation and has actively drawn up various security and contingency plans to deal with all kinds of circumstances which may arise during the Election
選管會大概忘記了差不多1個月前由它主辦的候選人簡介會，只舉行了大概半小時，就因為台下有人示威和干擾，被迫中途腰斬。
EAC has probably forgotten the briefing session for candidates held about a month ago . The session was forced to end about half an hour after commencement due to protests and disruptions from the audience
連一場簡單而尋常的簡介會也無法順利地進行，試問單憑選管會數句積極做好預案和應變，就可以讓各持份者安心參與這場選舉嗎？
If EAC could not even conduct a simple and regular briefing session smoothly how can EAC by saying that it has drawn up various security and contingency plans convince stakeholders that they can feel ease to participate in the Election?
是否有點令人失笑？
Is this not laughable?
社會大多數反對暴力和破壞的市民，已經自發地走出來。
Most members of the community who oppose violence and vandalism have come out on their own accord
我們看到一批又一批沉默而理性的市民，無懼暴力威嚇，自發上街清理路障和雜物，場面觸動人心。
We saw groups after groups of silent but sensible people unafraid of threats of violence remove barricades and debris from the roads out of their own will . These scenes were touching
他們以實際行動控訴暴徒的無理滋擾和破壞，反映了市民期望社會盡快回復平靜。
They took concrete action to denounce the undue harassment and vandalism of the rioters . This shows that the public hopes to see society return to peace and order as soon as possible
政府應該好好珍惜和把握這股受夠暴力威嚇的民氣，不要再蹉跎歲月，不要抱着待黑衣暴徒停手的"等運到"心態，錯失止暴制亂的良機。
The Government should treasure and leverage on the public sentiments of those who have had enough of violence . Do not waste any more time . Do not wait for luck to show up at our doorstep and for the black - clad rioters to stop and thereby miss the golden opportunity of stopping violence and curbing disorder
政府應該拿出更大的意志和決心行動起來，才不會辜負手無寸鐵、挺身而出的市民。
If the Government is to live up to the expectations of the unarmed and defenseless people who have stepped forward bravely it should act with greater determination and commitment
市民已經以行動回應政府止暴制亂的呼籲，希望政府做出實事和成績，不要無所作為，要把這些正面的民氣轉化為公平、公正的選舉動力。
The people have responded to the appeal made by the Government with actions . I hope the Government will not end up accomplishing nothing but will do something concrete and produce results by turning these positive public sentiments into moves towards a fair and just election
沉默和理性的市民無懼地走出來，我更希望他們能夠善用手上神聖的一票，以理性和文明的方式，發出強而有力的聲音，向暴力說"不"，清晰地展示民心所向，不要讓政治暴力損毀今次的區議會選舉。
The silent but sensible people have come out fearlessly . I also hope they will make good use of the sacred vote in their hands to strongly say no to violence in a rational and civilized manner and to state clearly the peoples aspiration that the DC Election should not be marred by political violence
香港公開、公平、公正的選舉文化得來不易，希望大家珍惜並反對一切以暴力影響選舉的行徑。
The open fair and just election culture of Hong Kong did not come by easily . I hope Members will cherish it and oppose any violent attempts to manipulate the Election
香港特區政府和選管會是責無旁貸，必須確保選舉及選舉活動在公平、公正及安全的環境下進行，對全港市民有所交代，這是政府和選管會不可推卸的責任。
The HKSAR Government and EAC are duty - bound to ensure that election and electoral activities would be conducted in a fair just and safe environment as they have to be accountable to the people . This is an unshirkable responsibility for the Government and EAC
但是，主席，今次的區議會選舉已經不可能是正常、公平、公正及安全的。
However President it is no longer possible for this DC Election to be held in a normal fair just and safe manner
我藉此機會奉勸局長一句：選舉過後，請不要描述這場選舉是正常、公平和公正的選舉，因為這對全港市民以至全世界來說是最大的謊言。
I take this opportunity to give a word of advice to the Secretary When the Election is over please do not describe it as a normal fair and just Election as that would be the biggest lie ever served to the people of Hong Kong and the world
主席，我多謝你多次提醒大家。
President many thanks for your repeated reminder to Members
我再次提醒議員要小心發言，因為我已多次表示，如果議員不理會我的提示，我會要求相關議員停止發言。
I remind Members once again to be careful when they speak because I have already said many times that if any Member pays no heed to my reminder I will order the Member concerned to stop speaking
很多地方現時真的處於無政府狀態。
At present many places are honestly in a state without government
政府的宣傳品便彷如天下太平般，只提及選舉是公民責任，市民應在選舉當天前往投票，把香港美化成彷如過去5個月不曾發生任何事情般。
As shown by the Governments publicity materials it looks like Hong Kong is now at peace . Merely urging people to cast their votes on the election day to fulfil their civic responsibility they have whitewashed the chaos in Hong Kong in such a way as though nothing had ever happened over the past five months
主席，這是需要時間的！
President this takes time!
整個選舉有何後續發展呢？
What are their follow - up arrangements for the whole election?
"這是完全不負責任的做法，浪費法庭資源。
This is totally irresponsible a sheer waster of court resources
如果檢控官、律政司甚或當事人覺得不應該繼續，便應該停止。
If the prosecutor the Department of Justice or the client thinks that a case should not be pursued all actions should be stopped
主席，首先我作出申報，我是一名區議會選舉候選人。
President before all else I would like to declare that I am a candidate running in the District Council DC Election
或者我更應該說，香港人很想有一個公平機會讓他們自己發聲，而不是"被代表"發聲。
Or rather I should say Hong Kong people are eager to have a fair opportunity to express their own views instead of being represented for their views
不過，這次選舉最大的問題，是有人刻意將某種聲音強加於所有人身上。
Nevertheless the greatest problem with this election is that some people deliberately impose a particular view on everyone
主席，香港是一個多元社會，每個市民的想法各有不同。
President Hong Kong is a pluralistic society in which individual members of the public have different views
香港這個多元社會原本就是這樣，每個人都可以根據自己的喜好作出選擇。
This is what Hong Kong has been all along as a pluralistic society . Everyone can make their own choices according to their preferences
但是，主席，我們覺得這次選舉最恐怖、最令人擔憂的地方，是有一群人、有一種力量......他們意圖將一種聲音強加於所有香港市民身上。
However President we think the most terrifying and worrying part of this election is that there is a group of people a kind of force they attempt to force a view on all Hong Kong people
"多走一步身體好，多走8,000步身體便更好，我數十年都沒有做運動，現在便有一個做運動的機會，340級樓梯沒甚麼大不了"。
Walk 8 000 more steps and you will be healthier . I have not done any exercise for a few decades and here comes a chance now . It is no big deal to walk 340 stair steps
抱怨的聲音都會被滅聲，更遑論那些表示自己希望香港社會穩定和平的聲音。
Voices of complaints can be silenced not to mention the voices expressing the hope for social stability and peace in Hong Kong
這種聲音在網上會被人瘋狂攻擊，甚至被人踢出群組。
On the Internet people expressing this kind of views will be subjected to frenzied attacks and even get kicked out of a chat group
他們希望透過這次選舉告訴整個香港社會，自己需要一種怎樣的生活。
They wish to tell the entire society of Hong Kong what kind of living they need through this election
主席，我想，參與過選舉的人都有在街上用麥克風向住在樓上的居民宣傳的經驗，因此，都知道有人叫罵回應是很正常的，正所謂"關公也有對頭人"。
President I believe whoever has run in an election should have the electioneering experience of speaking to residents in a building block using a microphone on the street and therefore should know that it is normal to hear someone scolding and shouting back in response . Just as people said everyone has their own enemies
明顯地，對方知道我未吃早餐，所以請我吃早餐。
Obviously that person knew that I had not had my breakfast yet so he or she treated me to breakfast
選舉的公平性在於我們的選舉法例這個遊戲規則能否執行。
The fairness of an election depends on whether our electoral legislation―the rules of this game―can be enforced
主席，對於我們今次能否執行選舉法例，我沒有多大信心，因為我們的法律已被"違法達 義"這種思想徹底影響，大家根本不再......
President I do not have much confidence that the electoral legislation can be enforced this time round because our law has been thoroughly affected by the mentality of achieving justice by violating the law
所以，如果連這條界線也守不住的話，試問我們又如何能確保選舉的公平性呢？
Therefore how can we ensure the fairness of the election if we cannot even defend this line?
主席，選舉不單是選舉事務處或選舉管理委員會的工作，有很多部門也要執行選舉法例，包括廉政公署、食物環境衞生署、民政事務總署、警方、房屋署及地政總署。
President an election not only involves the efforts made by the Registration and Electoral Office or the Electoral Affairs Commission ECA but also the enforcement of the electoral legislation by a number of departments including the Independent Commission Against Corruption ICAC the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department FEHD the Home Affairs Department HAD the Police Force the Housing Department and the Lands Department
局長，我看不到局方有任何確保選舉能順利進行的詳盡預案。
What will the authorities do to ensure that the polling stations will be free from vandalism?
我希望各個執法部門......我們已訂立了相關法例，選舉便應按着這套遊戲規則進行，讓大家有一個相對公平的環境因為沒有可能有絕對公平這套規矩能讓大家有一個公平發聲的機會。
Secretary it appears to me that the Bureau does not have any comprehensive plan to ensure the smooth running of the election so I hope various law enforcement departments As we have already enacted relevant legislation our elections should be conducted according to this set of rules so as to enable us to have a relatively fair environment―because there is no such thing as absolute fairness―and this set of rules will allow us to have equal opportunities to voice our views
我希望局長的預案能詳細一點，令市民能安心上街投票，表達自己的聲音。
I hope the Secretary can devise a more comprehensive plan so that people can be carefree while going out to vote and expressing their views
這是他們最希望做到的事。
This is something they want to do the most
我們工聯會自創會至今，立場仍是一樣。
Ever since the inception of FTU our stance has always been the same
如果你不選我，是你的損失。
It is your loss if you do not choose me
只不過我們希望市民真的可以如願表達他們的聲音。
All we hope is that members of the public can really express their views as they wish
究竟大家會選擇建設還是破壞？
Will they choose construction or destruction?
因此，我希望大家看清楚，現時的選舉狀況非常不公平，令人憂慮。
Therefore I hope members of the public can see clearly that the present election situation is very unfair and is a cause for concern
舉例而言，對於現時社會上的一些暴力襲擊，反對派認為警方用暴力對待示威者是不可以接受的。
For example referring to the current violent attacks in the community the opposition camp considers it unacceptable for the Police to use violence against the demonstrators
可是，他有否指出是甚麼人用暴力對待市民或社會的呢？
However has he pointed out who has used violence against members of the public or the community?
可是，尹議員只責難出手的市民，卻沒有責難那些阻礙大家"搵食"的學生。
However Mr WAN only blamed people for taking action but was silent on students who prevented people from making a living
可是，港鐵遭受破壞，影響市民出行，這樣也算合理嗎？
Yet the destruction of MTR stations has caused travel inconvenience to members of the public so how can this act be regarded as reasonable?
時至今天，社會發展至如斯地步，大家可以清楚看到，這群反對派對於現時的社會暴力現象連一句譴責也沒有，並將所有責任歸咎於政府及警方，真的是十分荒謬。
Today the society has developed to a point that the opposition party has evidently not said a word to condemn the prevalence of social violence but put all the blame on the Government and the Police which is really absurd . It must be noted that it takes two to tango
我認為批評政府無所作為是可以接受的，因為政府在這段時間確是無所作為，單靠警方支撐，所以我們必須尊重警察執法。
I consider it acceptable to criticize the Government for its inaction because it has not done anything during this period but simply relied on the Police to enforce the law . We must therefore respect the Police for enforcing the law
為何不是歸咎破壞社會秩序的人，而是歸咎執法者？
Why not blame those who disrupt social order but lay the blame on the people who enforce the law?
我希望藉着這次選舉，市民會走出來抉擇。
I hope that through this Election members of the public will come forward to make a choice
究竟大家會選擇讓香港繼續繁榮還是沒落？
Will they choose to see Hong Kong continue to prosper or perish?
老實而勤懇地服務社區，是我們每一個服務社會的人的宗旨。
Every one of us who serve the community is dedicated to serving with honesty and diligence
今天與柯創盛議員共膳時，我說我們與市民休戚與共，並勤懇地以汗水灌溉社區，無非是為了和諧。
During a meal with Mr Wilson OR today I said that we stood together with the people through thick and thin and sought to achieve harmony in the community with our sweat and toil
我們不希望看到票站出現任何問題，或市民在投票過程中受到任何威嚇。
We do not want to see anything happen to the polling stations or any voter being intimidated in the course of voting
我希望政府在這時候可以硬起來，下定決心讓香港舉行一場公平、公正，同時讓市民發聲的選舉，我相信這是市民樂意看到的。
I hope that the Government will stand firm and be committed to holding a fair and just election that makes peoples voices heard . I trust that this is what members of the public would love to see
主席，我十分感謝容海恩議員在如此關鍵的時刻提出這項休會待續議案，讓本會有機會討論政府應如何確保臨近的區議會選舉能做到公平、公正，以便我們的選民可在免於恐懼的情況下投下神聖的一票。
President I am very grateful to Ms YUNG Hoi - yan for moving this adjournment motion at such a critical moment that allows the Council an opportunity to discuss how the Government can ensure the imminent District Council Election a fair and just one in order that our voters can cast their sacred votes free from fear
我們相信民主，希望透過參選區議員/立法會議員實踐並推動民主，因為我們相信民主的價值。
We believe in democracy and hope to realize and promote democracy through running in District CouncilLegislative Council elections because we believe in the very value of democracy
"民治"是指由人民管治社會。
Under a government of the people society is governed by the people
人民如何管治社會呢？
How do the people govern society then?
其中一個機制是民主選舉。
One way to do so is through the mechanism of democratic elections
其中的一個原因是，我們的先賢希望能避免暴力及衝突。
One reason is that our forefathers wanted to avoid violence and conflicts
好了，退一萬步來說，即使選賢與能不一定能辦到，至少也可以讓我們無所畏懼及自由地表達我們心中所想，透過選票來說話，選一些我們喜歡的人代表自己。
Well at worst even if it is not possible to elect the good and the capable we should be at least able to express freely and without fear what we think by using our votes to speak our mind that is casting our votes to elect our own representatives whom we favour
正如我的同事何啟明議員所說，有一些人以政治立場先行，他們認為政治立場是整個議會最重要的東西，這不是問題；有一些人卻重視民生、社區工作及能否幫助市民。
As my Honourable colleague Mr HO Kai - ming has said some people put ones political stance ahead of other things who consider political stance the most important thing in the entire Council―it is no problem at all―whereas some attach great importance to peoples livelihood community work and whether they can be of any help to members of the public
當香港的民主制度現在處於一個最危急及最艱難的時刻，我們的所謂泛民主派正在做甚麼呢？
While Hong Kongs democratic system is in its most critical and difficult times at present what are the so - called pan - democrats doing right now?
其實，他們口說民主，實際是為了奪權而已。
They speak of democracy but in fact their real intention is to seize power
民主於這群反對派而言，也只不過是一個光環、一句口號，與"五大訴求，缺一不可"及現時一些提倡"港獨"的口號無異，只是一種奪權的工具。
To this group of people from the opposition camp democracy means nothing more than a halo or a slogan which is no different from slogans like Five demands not one less and some of the current slogans advocating Independence of Hong Kong which merely serves as a tool for them to seize power
為何人們要來香港投資？
Why do people come to invest in Hong Kong?
因為香港有法治及穩定的社會。
Just because of its rule of law and social stability
所以，作為香港人的一分子，我們真的要自救。
Hence we the people of Hong Kong really have to save our city with our own hands
過去的數天、個多星 期，很多市民出來自救，清潔街道，恢復社區秩序。
Over the past few days or even more than a weeks time many people came out to help save the city by cleaning up the streets with a view to restoring order in local communities
未來最重要的自救，就是要投票。
As for the future the most essential form of self - help lies in the act of voting
我覺得投任何人也不重要，但最低限度用投票這種最文明、理性的方式，希望推動社會發展，恢復社會秩序。
I think it does not matter whom you vote for but at least it is hoped that we can take forward social development and restore social order through the most civilized and rational system of election by ballot
只要有秩序，恢復和平、理性，我們才能夠實踐民主，建立議會最重要的價值。
As long as order peace and reason are restored democracy can be realized and so can the most important values of the Council be established
我再提醒議員，區議會選舉快將舉行，為免影響選舉公正進行，議員發言時不應發表可能被視為促使或阻礙任何候選人當選或達致相若效果的信息。
I would like to remind Members once again that the District Council Election will soon be held . To avoid affecting the fair conduct of the election Members should not disseminate messages that may be seen as causing or obstructing the election of any candidates or may achieve a similar result in their speeches
議員發言時亦應留意以下事項：不應指明道姓或暗示支持或不支持某位候選人；不應評論個別候選人的優劣；不應評論沒有事實根據但可能促使或阻礙任何候選人當選的報道或傳聞；亦不應擺放可能達致上述效果的展示品。
Members should also pay attention to the following when they speak they should not name names or imply that they support or not support any candidates; they should not comment on the merits or demerits of individual candidates; they should not comment on reports or hearsays that are unsubstantiated but may cause or obstruct the election of any candidates; and they should not display any objects that may achieve the aforesaid effect
主席，你要聽懂我的內容。
President you need to understand the essence of my speech
我希望我們化干戈為玉帛。
I hope that we can achieve rapprochement
我想指出一點，就是即使他表面上是拿着一束花走過來，但同樣會笑裏藏刀。
I would like to point out that even if a person came forward and gave me a bouquet of flowers he could hide a dagger behind his smile
我今天可能與你對立，會罵得很兇狠，但我的內心可能並非真的那麼惡毒。
Today I may confront you and chastise you severely but I may not be that evil deep in my heart
我們要豎立好的典範，就需要建立良好的形態，再交託給下一代去做。
If we want to set a good example we need to create favourable conditions for our next generation
在這個情況下，我們究竟要火上加油，抑或加以開導？
Under such circumstances should we add fuel to the fire or should we ameliorate the situation?
局長，11月24日的選舉結果實際上對我便完全不重要，但亦不希望我們在經歷一場選舉後有人贏了，卻輸了香港。
Secretary the results of the Election on 24 November are actually not important to me at all . But I do not hope that some of us will win the election but lose Hong Kong
因此，我們有甚 麼辦法可以在現時的厄困環境中站起來呢？
For this reason how can we get out of the current impasse?
雖然我平時也會嘲諷他們，但我今天是充滿誠意的。
I may ridicule them at times but I am speaking to them in all sincerity today
我希望大家能夠有一個很有文化、很斯文的選舉，並展現出我們的寬宏，那種"宰相肚裏能撐船"的胸襟。
I hope that we can have a civilized election demonstrate our generosity and manifest our breadth of mind
