主席，這與《基本法》第十八條及第十九條相違背。
President this contradicts Articles 18 and 19 of the Basic Law
很可惜，陳帆局長、鄭若驊司長或其他律政司的官員均沒有回答這最核心的問題。
Regrettably Secretary Frank CHAN Secretary for Justice Teresa CHENG or other officials of the Department of Justice have all failed to answer this most crucial question
所以，我們才逼於無奈根據《議事規則》第41條動議議案，希望撥亂反正......
For this reason we have no alternative but to move a motion under RoP 41 with the hope of righting the wrong
我們一定要弄清楚這究竟是甚麼亂象。
We must ascertain what the mess is all about
主席，你一些做法在我眼中不堪入目及破壞立法會，包括限制辯論的時間，粗暴地將立法會審議法案的權力奪走。
President to me some of your actions are disgusting and have undermined the Legislative Council which include setting a time limit for the debate and forcibly stripping the Legislative Council of its power to scrutinize bills
其實，你不需要做得如此不堪，應該正正經經讓議員在法案委員會和立法會會議都有充分的討論。
In fact you should not have taken such disgusting actions . You should instead allow Members to seriously engage in comprehensive discussions at the Bills Committee and Council meetings
事實上，大部分的高鐵列車乘客都在番禺轉乘，為何硬要推行"一地兩檢"呢？
In fact as most passengers of XRL trains will interchange at Panyu why should the co - location arrangement be forcibly implemented?
"兩地兩檢"適用於大部分列車乘客，因為他們須在福田或番禺轉乘，而少數長途列車可以做到"車上檢"。
The separate - location model is applicable to most passengers as they need to interchange at Futian or Panyu and on - board clearance is feasible for a limited number of long - haul trains
但是，政府不會這樣做，因為這不是最終的目的，最終的政治目的是如"木馬屠城"般，用高鐵屠宰香港的"一國兩制"及《基本法》。
However the Government will not do so for this is not the ultimate end . The ultimate political end is to slaughter one country two systems and the Basic Law of Hong Kong by using XRL as a Trojan horse
所以，政府才一直用謊話掩蓋謊話，採取這麼多不公平的做法，包括趕工、作出很多不成熟的工程上的決定、對於工程對鄰近地方例如西九龍舊區的建築物造成的影響置之不理。
For this reason the Government has long been shielding its lies with lies and taking so many unfair actions including working against the clock making quite a number of immature decisions on project works and adopting an indifferent attitude towards the impacts caused by project works on the buildings in nearby places such as the old districts of West Kowloon
一切都是因為有一個政治任務要完成，這是很可悲的。
All these actions are taken because there is a political mission to be accomplished . This is very sad indeed
我相信沒有人會愚蠢地相信現時的立法會公平公正，以及主席執行應有之義。
I think no one will be stupid enough to believe that equity and impartiality are upheld in the Legislative Council nowadays or that the President is performing his due responsibilities
"一地兩檢"是前菜，模糊香港的"一國兩制"或應有的界線，一定會是主菜。
The co - location arrangement is an appetizer and blurring one country two systems or the proper boundary of Hong Kong will certainly be the main dish
剛才我提及的菜園村事件，印象十分遙遠，應該是2008年11月發生的事。
The CYT incident I just mentioned happened around November 2008 which appeared to be a distant memory
正因為辯論已經設了時限，我們只能在討論與高鐵相關的議題時，順帶指出政府遲遲未有處理的問題。
Given the time limit set for the debate we can only mention in passing during the discussion on XRL - related issues that the Government has for a protracted period of time failed to deal with the problems
為了高鐵，香港人犧牲了多少？
How much sacrifices have Hong Kong people made for XRL?
即使尚未通車，本港有多少居民已因為興建高鐵而受罪？
Even before XRLs commissioning how many Hong Kong residents have already been victimized by its construction?
我支持中止待續議案，最好能將《條例草案》撤回並重新審議，讓議員檢視當中可以解決的問題。
I support the adjournment motion . The Bill should preferably be withdrawn for reconsideration so that Members can examine the problems which can be resolved
高鐵強行在西九龍站地下通車，進入了香港範圍，連接兩地其中一個較重要元素竟 然是扶手電梯。
With the forcible commissioning of XRL on the underground level of the West Kowloon Station WKS XRL will enter the Hong Kongs jurisdiction . Surprisingly one of the most important elements linking the two jurisdictions is escalators
政府當然提供一套最簡單的答案，指屆時自然可以處理，包括《條例草案》中的保留事項也可以處理。
As expected the Government provided the simplest answer saying that it could naturally deal with all matters―including the reserved matters as set out in the Bill―should they arise
《基本法》賦予港人權力的範圍內，現在卻容許內地人員執法，並容許內地法例在香港適用。
Within an area where Hong Kong people have been conferred power under the Basic Law Mainland officers will be permitted to enforce the law and Mainland laws will be applicable in Hong Kong
我們支持陳淑莊議員提出的中止待續議案，是因為正如很多同事也指出，有關"一地兩檢"的《廣深港高鐵條例草案》是否合憲，很值得大家了解和探討。
We support the adjournment motion moved by Ms Tanya CHAN because just as many colleagues have pointed out the constitutionality of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link Co - location Bill the Bill concerning the co - location arrangement is worthy of our discussion
《基本法》第十八條第三款已清楚訂明，全國性法律不會在香港實施，國防、外交及已納入附件三的法律則除外。
Article 183 of the Basic Law clearly stipulates that national laws shall not be applied in Hong Kong except for those relating to defence and foreign affairs as well as others listed in Annex III
大家每次談到大灣區問題，都說香港最大的優勢是"一國兩制"，而"一國兩制"的核心是《基本法》。
Whenever we mention the Bay Area we would say that the biggest advantage of Hong Kong is one country two systems and the core of which is the Basic Law
第二，有關"一地兩檢"的法規是建基於香港與內地簽訂的協議，然後通過人大常委會的《決定》在香港實施。
Second the co - location arrangement which found its legal basis in the agreement signed between Hong Kong and the Mainland would be implemented in Hong Kong by the Decision of NPCSC
民主黨支持這項中止待續議案，其實就憲法的問題提出了第一個疑問。
The Democratic Partys support of this adjournment motion has actually cast the first doubt on constitutionality
我曾經問前任律政司司長袁國強，政府可否親口承諾有關"一地兩檢"的法例的做法將下不為例，但政府說不可以，因為我們不能限制將來的特首如何運用他的法律權益。
I once asked former Secretary for Justice Rimsky YUEN if the Government could promise that the approach adopted for the Bill pertaining to the co - location arrangement would not be adopted again but the Government replied in the negative as it could not restrain how the future Chief Executive exercised his legal rights and interests
因此，從這個角度來看，我支持這項中止待續議案，因為通過《條例草案》將不單會影響"一地兩 檢"的安排，而且更會後患無窮。
Therefore judging from this angle I support the adjournment motion as the passage of the Bill will not only have an implication on the co - location arrangement but will also bring endless troubles
我們除了倚賴和相信政府之外，似乎已沒有其他方法。
Besides counting on and trusting the Government it seems that we have no other alternatives
主席就這次討論有關"一地兩檢"《條例草案》所作的安排，已令很多同事提出疑問。
The arrangements made by the President in connection with the present discussion of this Bill have already aroused doubts from many colleagues
我最大的疑問是，即使主席有權作出裁決，但為何他沒有提供任何法理基礎，說服議員作出有關裁決是有根有據的。
For me the biggest doubt is even if the President has the authority to make rulings how come he has not provided any legal basis to convince Members that the rulings made are well - founded?
主席說立法會無權裁定政府提交的法案是否合憲和是否違反《基本法》，但《基本法》第十一條已清楚訂明，香港立法會制定的法例必須符合《基本法》的規定，不可以違憲，而《基本法》第七十二條亦規定主席有權決定議程。
According to the President the Legislative Council does not have the authority to rule whether a bill proposed by the Government is constitutional and whether it has contravened the Basic Law . However Article 11 of the Basic Law clearly stipulates that laws enacted by the Hong Kong Legislative Council shall comply with the Basic Law and must not be unconstitutional whereas Article 72 of the Basic Law also stipulates that the President has the power to decide on the agenda
這怎可能不是主席的權責？
How can this not be the powers and responsibilities of the President?
他怎可能把立法會變成政府的橡皮圖章？
How can he turn the Legislative Council into a rubber stamp of the Government?
如果立法會連以理服人也做不到，試問怎能夠通過監察政府獲得市民的信任和支持？
If the Legislative Council cannot convince people by reasoning how can it win the trust and support of people through monitoring the work of the Government?
這是很根本的問題。
This is a very fundamental issue
當議員想就政府所提交有關"一地兩檢"的《條例草案》施加任何約束時，主席就會裁決有關建議違憲、違法。
When Members proposed to impose any restriction on the Bill introduced by the Government the President ruled the relevant proposals unconstitutional and unlawful
其實，我們只不過是想找些方法協助特區政府，因為既然已經山窮水盡，耗資1,000億元的高鐵已經落成，難道真的如很多人所說不去使用嗎？
And yet we are simply trying to help the SAR Government by all means as the issue has already come to a dead end . In view that the construction of XRL costing 100 billion has been completed are we really going to leave it idle as advocated by many people?
可否施加若干約束及限制，令我們知道政府所運用權力的基礎是甚麼？
Is it possible to impose certain constraints and restrictions so that we know the basis on which the power has been exercised by the Government?
這正是大家擔心的事情。
This is precisely our concern
是否純粹連接大灣區的發展，令出入境更方便，為香港社會帶來最大利益？
Is it purely a linkage with the development of the Bay Area to provide more immigration convenience and bring maximum benefits for Hong Kong society?
我最後就是請求局長思考這個問題，因為一直以來從未有政府官員回答這問題。
Last of all I beg the Secretary to consider the following question which no government official has answered so far
我想問在制定法律的過程中，是否必須作好法律會受到司法覆核挑戰的準備？
I would like to ask whether it is necessary for the Government to prepare for the challenge of judicial review in the course of enacting any law
司法覆核的挑戰招惹了新一輪的釋法，而新一輪的釋法會否對香港社會的經濟發展帶來嚴峻的影響？
Since the challenge of judicial review has triggered a new round of interpretation of the Basic Law will this bring any serious consequences to the economic development of Hong Kong society?
事實上，"快、靚、正"的概念存在很大問題，因為局長曾經說過，現時乘坐高鐵到廣州南站的車費是260元，這是二等車票的價錢，而前往福田站則要80元。
As a matter of fact the concept of speedy quality and efficient services is riddled with problems . As provided by the Secretary the present fare of XRL to Guangzhou South Station is 260 for a second - class seat and the fare to Futian Station is 80
在這背景下，現時中止待續以便停一停，想一想，然後清楚交代令市民信服，可能是更好的做法。
Against this background the present adjournment motion may be a better alternative so that the Government can pause and think before giving a clear account to convince members of the public
代理主席，我謹此陳辭，支持陳淑莊議員的議案。
Deputy President with these remarks I support Ms Tanya CHANs motion
我提醒議員，本會現正辯論的議題是，應否將《廣深港高鐵條例草案》的二讀辯論中止待續，請議員集中討論為何支持或反對中止待續議案。
I would like to remind Members that this Council is debating the question of whether the Second Reading debate of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link Co - location Bill the Bill should be adjourned will Members please focus on discussing why they support or oppose this adjournment motion
至於《條例草案》的整體優劣或修正案內容，則應留待二讀辯論時再作討論。
As regards the general merits or amendment details of the Bill they should be discussed later during the Second Reading debate
主席，早前你曾透過秘書處通知議員，今次《廣深港高鐵條例草案》的審議時間安排是36小時。
President earlier you notified Members through the Secretariat that 36 hours have been allocated for the scrutiny of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link Co - location Bill this time
我的規程問題是，你安排二讀階段的時間是8小時，當中包括局長發言及投票時間。
My point of order is as follows . You have allocated eight hours for the Second Reading including the speaking time of the Secretary and voting time
剛才法案委員會主席發言用了15分鐘以上，因為她還要發表個人意見。
Just now the Chairman of the Bills Committee spent over 15 minutes delivering her speech as she also has to express her personal views
我想查問清楚你的安排，我們每名議員如果符合《議事規則》發言，是否都可以在二讀階段有1次發言機會？
If each Member speaks in accordance with the Rules of Procedure can they all be given a chance to speak once at the Second Reading?
如議員認真進行辯論，我會彈性處理；但如議員無心辯論，我會另作安排。
I will exercise discretion if Members are serious about the debate but I will make an alternative arrangement if Members have no intention of debating
我首先希望公眾和各位議員同事明白，中止待續《條例草案》和反對《條例草案》二讀是兩回事。
First of all I hope that the public and Honourable colleagues will understand that adjourning the Bill and opposing the Second Reading of the Bill are two different things
今天主席或代理主席均有提醒議員中止待續和二讀的分別為何。
Today the President or the Deputy President has reminded Members of the difference between the adjournment motion and the Second Reading
有些人認為，某程度上兩者有重疊的地方，因為如我反對《條例草案》而又預計表決會輸，當有議員提出中止待續議案，我當然支持，能拖延多久便多久，是可以有這種心態的。
Some consider that the two is somewhat overlapping; if I oppose the Bill and anticipate that it will be read the Second time when a Member proposes an adjournment motion I will certainly give support so that we can buy as much time as possible . I may have such kind of mindset
此外，我支持中止待續議案，藉此反映《條例草案》早前的處理過程有缺失，希望在中止待續後可以有措施補救。
In addition I support the adjournment motion so as to reflect the deficiency with regard to the earlier handling of the Bill and I hope that measures will be implemented to remedy the situation after the adjournment
為免主席指我稍後在二讀辯論的發言與現在的發言重複，我規限了這次發言的內容。
To avoid being criticized by the President that my remarks to be made at the Second Reading debate is the same as those made at present I will limit the scope of this speech
第一，"一地兩檢"的審議過程違反程序公義；第二，"一地兩檢"還需更詳細的審議；及第三，《條例草案》是否如政府或主席所說，十分迫切，一定要在36小時內完成審議？
First the deliberation process of the co - location arrangement has violated procedural justice; second the co - location arrangement requires more detailed deliberations; and third is the Bill really so urgent as claimed by the Government or the President that the deliberation must be completed within 36 hours?
其實，主席今天早上發信給全體民主派議員，當中提到"主席有責任確保立法會必須在合理時間內完成審議《條例草案》"。
In fact the President sent a letter to all pro - democracy Members this morning stating that the President has the responsibility to ensure that the Legislative Council must complete the deliberation on the Bill within reasonable time
何謂"合理時間"？
What is meant by reasonable time?
在這項《條例草案》前，立法會《議事規則》或委員會主席手冊均沒有條文賦予法案委員會主席為工作訂定限期。
Before this Bill there is no provision in the Rules of Procedure of the Legislative Council or the Handbook for Chairmen of Bills Committees that empowers the Chairman to set a deadline for the scrutiny of the Bills Committee
當然，法案委員會主席葉劉淑儀議員曾經表示，根據法案委員會手冊，法案最好在兩個月內完成審議......是3個月內完成審議多謝糾正。
Mrs Regina IP Chairman of the Bills Committee said that according to the Handbook for Chairmen of Bills Committees it would be best for the deliberations on the Bill to be completed within two months within three months thank you for correcting me
我舉例說明，即使修訂替補機制的《2012年立法會條例草案》，必須在2012年立法會選舉前獲得通過，有關法案委員會的主席仍沒有訂定審議限期。
For instance even when the Legislative Council Amendment Bill 2012 on the by - election mechanism ought to be passed before the Legislative Council Election in 2012 the Chairman of the Bills Committee concerned had not set a time limit for the deliberation
因此，我支持中止待續議案，讓政府反思甚至重新安排我們仔細視察內地口岸的界線，從而使我們能夠充分履行議員的職責。
Therefore I support the adjournment motion which will allow the Government to reconsider or even rearrange a visit for us to carefully inspect the boundary of the Mainland Port Area so that we can fully perform our duties as Members
另一個我認為最違反程序公義的地方，當然是二讀時間的安排。
Another area which I think has violated procedural justice the most is certainly the timing arrangement
如果我們讓違反程序公義的二讀繼續下去，便會立下極壞的先例。
We will set a very bad precedent if we allow the continuation of the Second Reading debate which violates procedural justice
我覺得這個規定違反《議事規則》，讓議員在二讀有1次發言機會的規定。
In my view this arrangement has violated the Rules of Procedure which stipulates that a Member may speak once in the Second Reading debate
雖然主席的決定是最終的，我在此不能推翻他的決定或與他辯論，但如果中止待續議案獲得通過，亦可以象徵及表示議員不滿主席的安排。
Although the Presidents decision is final and I cannot overturn his decision or debate with him if the adjournment motion is passed it will symbolize and indicate that Members are dissatisfied with the arrangement made by the President
我在會外也曾向主席反映，這已經不是處理甚麼法案的問題。
I have also told the President on other occasions that this is no longer a matter of dealing with a certain bill
我支持中止待續的另一個原因，是我們需要更詳細審議《條例草案》。
Another reason why I support the adjournment motion is that we need to consider the Bill in greater detail
正如我剛才所說，政府其實仍未清楚答覆我們很多重要的問題。事實上，我們在草擬修正案期間發現更多問題。
As I said earlier the Government has still not clearly answered many of our important questions and we have actually identified more problems when drafting the amendments
再者，我們並未真正仔細視察內地口岸界線。
Moreover we have not carefully inspected the boundary of the Mainland Port Area
我甚至希望可以重開法案委員會，再用更多時間向政府了解相關問題，再安排考察。
I even hope that the Bills Committee can be reactivated so that we can have more time to obtain more information from the Government and arrange for inspections
建制派可能會質疑，說我們大可以在二讀或全體委員會階段提出疑問，再由政府解答，為何我們要中止待續呢？
Pro - establishment Members may query why we want the debate to be adjourned as we may put questions to the Government in the Second Reading debate or at the Committee stage . Let us be realistic
代理主席，如果把修正案內容分為數組，先討論生效日期、失效日期，再討論保留事項及其他，好處是局長可以在每場辯論結束後作出回應。
Deputy President if the contents of the amendments are divided into groups so that we will first discuss the effective and expiry dates and then discuss the reserved matters and other issues the advantage is that the Secretary can respond at the end of each debate session
我最後要對主席說，他有責任確保立法會必須在合理時間內完成審議《條例草案》，為何大家沒有想過在星期五開會？
Last but not least I would like to tell the President that he has the responsibility to ensure that the Legislative Council must complete the scrutiny of the Bill within reasonable time . Why have we not considered having a meeting on Friday?
不過，我最後想提出另一個問題，就是我曾請教很多高人，萬一中止待續議案真的通過了，這究竟是甚麼世界？
Lastly I would like to ask another question . I have consulted many learned persons about what will happen if the adjournment motion is really passed but none of them can answer my question
究竟是局長有了足夠的通知期，下星期便可以原封不動把《條例草案》再提交立法會恢復二讀，還是一切要重新開始？
Will the Secretary have a sufficient notice period so that he can reintroduce the Bill into the Legislative Council next week for resumption of Second Reading? . Will we have to start all over again?
審核的意思，不僅限於成立法案委員會，舉行數十次會議，然後當局對於提問又不回應；而是政府進行諮詢時我們可以提出意見，並且得到尊重和接納。
By scrutiny it does not only confine to forming a Bills Committee to conduct dozens of meetings and the authorities failing to respond to questions raised; it also means that we should be able to voice our views during government consultation and that our views should be respected and accepted
主席，請容許我討論一下今次的辯論安排，因為這亦關乎我支持這項中止待續議案的原因。對於限時審議的做法，你表示已經聽到議員的意見。
President please allow me to discuss the current debate arrangement because it also relates to my reason for supporting this adjournment motion
然而，我並非質疑你的決定，因為你的裁決是最終決定。
Nevertheless I am not querying your decision because your ruling is final
不過，我們還有何方法？
But what else can we do?
所以，在沒有其他做法，又不能質疑主席所作的決定，我們只能提出中止待續議案。
Thus given that we have no alternative and cannot question the Presidents decision we can only move an adjournment motion
沒有邏輯，沒有原因，沒有理由。
There is no logic reasons or justifications
所以，這次很明顯要將立法會的權力及議員審議法案的權力逐步收緊。
Hence very obviously the Legislative Council and its Members powers to scrutinize bills have been tightened gradually
我們面對強權，看着立法會的權力一直被削弱，甚至是被議會內的人削弱，這才是最令人氣憤的地方。
We are facing the authoritarian power and when we see how the powers of the Legislative Council have been weakening and worse still such powers are weaken by people in this legislature we are most furious
主席，我最後想說，50年前的今天，羅拔․甘迺迪在美國被行刺身亡。
President lastly I would like to say that Robert KENNEDY was assassinated in the United States on the same day 50 years ago
我們只怕走這條路的人太少，而且越來越少。
Our only fear is that there are too few people taking this path and that the number of participants is decreasing
所以，即使我們在這裏只能拖延數星期而不能阻止這項《條例草案》獲通過，也要讓所有人看見這項《條例草案》有多離譜、不公義及破壞"一國兩制"，從而使更多的人會走我們這條路。
Therefore even if we can only stall for a couple of weeks and cannot stop the passage of this Bill we still have to let everyone see how outrageous and unjust this Bill is and how it undermines one country two systems so that more people will join us in this path
他們又提休會待續，無論從甚麼角度看，這都屬於"拉布"。
They move adjournment motions again . From whatever perspective this is filibustering
主席，作為九龍西的立法會議員，我要在此講清楚，西九龍居民忍受了多年交通擠塞、噪音、環境污染，他們很希望《條例草案》能盡快通過，令高鐵達致最高效益，落實"一地兩檢"。
President as a Legislative Council Member representing the Kowloon West geographical constituency I must make it very clear that the residents of Kowloon West have been plagued by traffic congestion noise and other environmental pollutions for years and they are anxious that the Bill would be passed expeditiously so that the efficiency of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL can be optimized by the co - location arrangement
我們反對任何拖延落實"一地兩檢"的議案，包括今天的休會待續議案。
We oppose any motion that stalls the implementation of the co - location arrangement including todays adjournment motion
問題清楚不過，其實並非要花多些時間討論，而是立場和態度，大家究竟是否肯接受"一國兩制"及《基本法》的原意為香港發展得更好而設。
The issue is very clear . It is not about whether more time should be spent on the discussion but a matter of stance and attitude . Are they willing to accept that the original intent of one country two systems and the Basic Law is to enable better development of Hong Kong?
香港從來都是中國的一部分，何來"割地兩檢"之說？
Hong Kong has always been a part of China . Where does the idea of cession - based co - location arrangement come from?
他們的答案很清楚，便是無須考慮《中國憲法》，在考慮《基本法》時無須考慮中國的憲制秩序。
Their answer was very clear ie . it was not necessary to consider the Constitution of China and it was not necessary to take Chinas constitutional order into account when considering the Basic Law
我很想說，《基本法》是為落實"一國兩制"而設，絕大部分在香港法庭判決的案件，根據《基本法》第一百五十八條第二款是屬於香港自治範圍以內，香港法庭絕對會按普通法的傳統審判。
I must say that the Basic Law is enacted for the implementation of one country two systems . The overwhelming majority of cases tried in Hong Kong courts are within the limits of the autonomy of Hong Kong as stipulated in Article 1582 of the Basic Law and Hong Kong courts naturally conduct trials in accordance with the common law tradition
我相信過往20年，起碼有95%的案件是完完全全根據普通法的傳統審判。
I believe that in the past two decades at least 95 % of the cases were tried in accordance with the common law tradition
可是，在《基本法》及"一國兩制"之下涉及中央與地方關係時，卻不能說我只想按普通法原則處理便可以，我們必須接受《基本法》是全國人民代表大會常務委員會通過，在性質上始終是全國性法律。
However when the relationship between the Central and local authorities under the Basic Law and one country two systems is concerned we cannot claim that we only have to act in accordance with the common law principle . We must accept that the Basic Law adopted by the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress NPCSC is inherently a national law
《基本法》當中始終有一些概念並非普通法的概念，例如《基本法》第十八條提到的"全國性法律"便並非香港普通法的概念。
Some of the concepts of the Basic Law do not tally with the common law principles . For example the national laws mentioned in Article 18 of the Basic Law is not a common law concept in Hong Kong
此外，《基本法》第十七條、第十八條、第一百五十八條及第一百五十九條，均提到人大常委會，第一百五十九條又訂明，修改《基本法》的提案可以由國務院、人大常委會或香港提出。
Moreover NPCSC is mentioned in Articles 17 18 158 and 159; and Article 159 stipulates that bills for amendment to the Basic Law may be proposed by the State Council NPCSC and Hong Kong
當提到可由國務院提出時，一定牽涉到中國的法律體制和秩序。
In mentioning that bills for amendment may be proposed by the State Council it definitely involves the legal system and constitutional order of China
你可以捂着雙眼，不看不理，卻不可以改變憲法及法律的事實，以及"一國兩制"源自甚麼。
You can close your eyes and refuse to pay heed but you cannot change these constitutional and legal facts as well as the origin of one country two systems
香港成為特別行政區，也是因為《中國憲法》第三十一條訂明容許國家設立特別行政區，如果甚麼都沒有例外或我們很死板地看待事情，可能連特別行政區都不會設立。
Hong Kong can become a Special Administrative Region precisely because Article 31 of the Constitution of China allows the State to establish special administrative regions . If exception is not made or if everything is done by the book the special administrative regions might not even be established
我相信我不用你提醒，我即將完成發言。
I believe I do not need your reminder . I am about to conclude my speech
最近期人大常委會的決定絕對享有同樣的憲制地位。
The latest decision of NPCSC has absolutely the same constitutional status
我認為這些聲稱違憲及違法的說法並不符合"一國兩制"及法律的事實。
I think the claims that the co - location arrangement is unconstitutional and unlawful do not tally with the principle of one country two systems and the legal facts
就這項休會待續議案而言，我很希望反對派懸崖勒馬，回頭是岸，不要再用點人數或提出議案會議進行，無論怎樣，市民都會覺得他們是在"拉布"。
As regards the adjournment motion I very much hope that the opposition camp will pull back before it is too late and return to the right track . They should stop requesting headcounts or proposing motions to disrupt the meeting . No matter what tactic is used members of the public will think that they are filibustering
主席、各位議員，我謹動議二讀《2018年聯合國制裁條例草案》。
President and Honourable Members I move the Second Reading of the United Nations Sanctions Amendment Bill 2018 the Bill
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：《2018年聯合國制裁條例草案》，予以二讀。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the United Nations Sanctions Amendment Bill 2018 be read the Second time
主席，近年，有不少電影院相繼結業，某些地區現已沒有電影院，以致當區居民的娛樂選擇減少。
President in recent years quite a number of cinemas have closed down one after another . At present there is no cinema in certain districts eg
