俄羅斯在2016年將侮辱國歌列為刑事罪行，如果在公開場合和網上故意歪曲國歌歌詞或曲調，均會被判刑。
Russia criminalized insult of the national anthem in 2016 so that people who intentionally distort the lyrics or score of the national anthem on public occasions and the Internet will be penalized
2003年，法國針對褻瀆國歌和國旗的行為立法，規定若公開對法國的國歌或國旗表示不敬，將會判處7,500歐羅的罰款，情節嚴重的話更會判處監禁。
In 2003 France enacted legislation against acts of desecrating the national anthem and the national flag which stipulates that people who disrespect the national anthem or the national flag of France publicly will be fined €7,500 and they may be jailed if the case is of a serious nature
美國、加拿大及澳洲等許多國家的移民入籍考試中，亦有關於國旗和國歌的考題，以及要求申請人理解國家的價值觀，入籍儀式中還有奏唱國歌的環節。
There are also questions regarding the national flag and the national anthem in the citizenship and naturalization test of many countries such as the United States Canada and Australia . Applicants are also required to understand the values of the country . There is also a session in the naturalization ceremony during which the national anthem is played and sung
說到尊重國歌，其實不限於尊重自己國家的國歌，在大型比賽的開幕式及頒獎儀式中，很多時都會有升國旗、奏國歌的環節，因為這些儀式不僅是對獲獎選手的祝賀，亦是對其代表國家的尊重。
Speaking of respect for the national anthem it is actually not confined to showing respect for the national anthem of our own country . In the opening ceremony and awards ceremony of some large - scale competitions there are often occasions where national flags are raised and national anthems were played . It is because these ceremonies are held not only to congratulate the winners but they are also a token of respect for the countries that they represent
只要國歌響起，觀眾出於尊重，不會做出一些侮辱國歌或國家的惡劣行為，這是做人處事最基本的禮貌和態度。
Whenever a national anthem is played the audience will not perform any evil acts of insulting a national anthem or a country out of respect . This is the most basic manner and attitude when dealing with people or doing things
香港是中國領土的一部分，我們必須尊重任何象徵國家的標誌，這是公民應盡的責任。
Hong Kong is a part of the Chinese territory we must respect any symbol which serves as a sign of the country . This is the responsibility of every citizen
可惜，香港有一部分人至今仍不肯承認自己是中國人，不但在不同場合想方設法詆毀自己國家，更在國際賽事中向自己的國歌喝倒采，令香港在國際社會蒙羞，而香港足球總會更因此被國際足球協會多次處罰。
Regrettably some people in Hong Kong still refuse to admit that they are Chinese up to the present . They have not only exhausted every means to discredit their own country but also booed their own national anthem in international competitions . Such acts have brought disgrace to Hong Kong in the international community whereas the Fédération Internationale de Football Association has imposed a fine on the Hong Kong Football Association several times
在這個背景下，香港就《國歌法》立法是合情合理，天經地義的。
Against this background it is fair and reasonable as well as perfectly justified for Hong Kong to enact legislation on the National Anthem Law
主席，《條例草案》第2部載有國歌的定義和奏唱國歌的基本要求，第3部載有有關罪行的條文，包括不當使用國歌及侮辱國歌的行為。
Chairman Part 2 of the Bill contains the definition of national anthem as well as the basic requirements of playing and singing the national anthem . Part 3 contains provisions relating to offences of misuse of the national anthem and insulting behaviour in relation to the national anthem
我認為條文內容已很清晰地說明，《國歌法》的主要精神是尊重，只要做到尊重，便肯定不會違法，但如果心存敵意，處處以侮辱國家為目的，即使不違反《國歌法》，亦可能須面對其他懲處。
In my opinion the content of the provisions has made it crystal clear that respect is the main spirit of the National Anthem Law . People will definitely not break the law as long as they act respectfully . Yet if they adopt a hostile attitude and intend to insult the country in every way they may have to face other penalties even if they do not breach the National Anthem Law
我相信絕大部分香港市民都會尊重自己的國家，所以法例對市民日常生活根本沒有影響。
I believe that most Hong Kong people respect their own country so the law virtually will not affect the daily life of the public
當局在2018年年初展開《條例草案》的立法工作，經過1年的討論，反對派故意將《條例草案》描繪成一項限制市民行為的惡法，是打壓創作自由的工具，更提出一系列假設問題和場景，例如馬迷看馬經的時候遇到奏唱國歌，應該怎麼辦呢？
The authorities kick - started the legislative process of the Bill in early 2018 . After a year of discussion the opposition camp has deliberately depicted the Bill as a draconian law imposing restrictions on the behaviour of the public which is a tool to suppress the freedom of creativity . They have even raised a lot of hypothetical questions and scenarios
如果在上廁所或吃飯期 間，甚至是駕車時聽到國歌奏起，是否要肅立呢？
For instance if the national anthem is played and sung when horse - racing fans are reading horse - racing news what should they do? . Should people stand solemnly upon hearing the national anthem when they are in the toilet or dining or even when they are driving?
《條例草案》規定在公開奏唱國歌的場合，在場人士才需要肅立以示尊重，入罪最重要的元素是侮辱國歌的意圖，例如在足球比賽的升旗儀式上，作出向國歌喝倒采和侮辱國歌的行為，或故意篡改國歌歌詞、曲調、惡搞國歌進行二次創作。
The Bill provides that on occasions when the national anthem is publicly played and sung the people present is required to stand up solemnly to show respect . The most important element of conviction is the intention to insult the national anthem for example committing acts of booing and insulting the national anthem during the flag - raising ceremony of a football match or engaging in secondary creation by intentionally altering the lyrics or score of the national anthem and parodying
其實，普通人憑一般常識也可判斷得到，上述行為根本是故意侮辱國歌，這些行為才會觸犯法例。
In fact even an ordinary person can judge by common sense that the aforesaid behaviours are sheer intentional insults to the national anthem and one would only break the law for committing such behaviours
《條例草案》的入罪門檻其實十分清晰，如果侮辱的行為是公開、故意和有意圖，而且執法部門需要搜證，以及提供足夠證據，才有機會交由法庭判決，要墮入法網，過程並不簡單。
The conviction threshold under the Bill is actually very clear . Only when the insulting behaviour is committed publicly deliberately and intentionally and the law enforcement authorities need to collect evidence and provide sufficient evidence it will then be possible for the case to be referred to the court for judgment . It is not a simple process for someone to be caught by the law
《國歌法》是經過本地立法的程序，若有爭議，會根據普通法作解釋，符合香港本地立法的一般程序，市民根本無須擔心。
The Bill is enacted by local legislation and will be interpreted under common law in case there is any dispute which is in line with the general procedures of enacting local legislation in Hong Kong . Members of the public thus need not be worried at all
主席，《條例草案》第9條規定教育局局長須就將國歌納入小學教育及中學教育發出指示，有反對派認為，宣揚、教授國歌即是"洗腦"，這種說法實在非常荒謬。
Chairman clause 9 of the Bill requires the Secretary for Education to give directions for the inclusion of the national anthem in primary education and in secondary education . Some people of the opposition camp hold that promoting and teaching the national anthem is equivalent to brainwashing such remarks are indeed extremely ridiculous
香港是中國的一部分，通過學習國歌、學習歷史，認識自己的國家、民族，教導學生愛國，是毫無問題及正常的教育行為，正如我們教導學生要有社會責任、尊師重道、愛護地球和家人一樣。
Hong Kong is a part of China there is absolutely no problem to learn the national anthem learn the history understand our country and nation and teach students to be patriotic which is a normal education requirement just as we would teach students to shoulder social responsibilities respect teachers and care the earth and their family
關於國民教育出現疏漏的問題，我認為教育局、學校和教育工作者均有不可推卸的責任。
Insofar as the oversight in national education is concerned I think that the Education Bureau schools and educational workers all have an unshirkable responsibility
最近，一間小學的老師在講解中英兩國於1840年爆發第一次鴉片戰爭時，聲稱英國為了消滅鴉片而發起這次戰爭，又說英國想以禁煙為由，派兵攻打中國，所教授的內容明顯失實，根本不能接受。
Recently the teacher of a primary school when explaining the First Opium War between China and Britain which broke out in 1840 claimed that Britain initiated this war in order to eliminate opium and said that Britain wished to send troops to attack China on the ground of banning opium . What was taught is obviously untrue and simply unacceptable
今年香港中學文憑考試的歷史科試題，要求考生論述"1900年至1945年間，日本為中國帶來的利多於弊"，竟然出現這樣的試題，令社會大感譁然。
In the history paper for the Diploma of Secondary Education Examination this year a question required candidates to discuss if Japan did more good than harm to China between 1900 and 1945 . This exam question has caused a great uproar in society
有學校老師透過通識科，利用對政府和內地人有偏見的教材，誤導學生。
Some school teachers have made use of the Liberal Studies subject to mislead their students with teaching materials that are biased against the Government and Mainlanders
學生為了迎合老師的理念和取得高分，作答時自然會選擇以批評為主。
In order to follow teachers ideology and achieve high scores students will naturally choose to focus on criticisms when answering questions
在潛移默化之下，逐漸種下了青少年對政府不滿、不信任的禍根，這便解釋了為何青少年會參與反國教、反高鐵和佔領行動，以及在反修例風波中走在最前線，並且作出舞動他們認為自己所屬國家的國旗，以及侮辱中國國旗、國徽和國歌的行為。
Under such subtle influence the seed of dissatisfaction with and distrust in the Government has gradually been sowed among the youth . This explains why young people participated in the anti - national education movement the anti - express rail link movement and the occupying movement and why they stood in the front line amidst the disturbances arising from the opposition to the proposed legislative amendments during which they waved the national flag of the country they thought they belonged to and committed acts of insulting the national flag the national emblem and the national anthem of China
主席，今次審議《條例草案》期間，反對派為了向外界表現自己，於是製造重重關卡，單是法案委員會已召開了17次會議，用了超過50小時進行審議。
Chairman during the scrutiny of the Bill the opposition camp has created a lot of obstacles in order to manifest themselves to the outside world . The Bills Committee alone has held 17 meetings and spent more than 50 hours on scrutiny
反對派除了在法案委員會階段提出大量無謂的問題，又在全體委員會審議階段提出大量修正案我反對所有相關的修正案為何尊重國歌如此天經地義的事情，會發生這麼多風波呢？
In addition to putting forward a lot of unnecessary questions in the Bills Committee the opposition camp has also proposed a large number of amendments when the Bill is considered by the committee of the whole Council―I oppose all the relevant amendments―Why has such a natural behaviour as respecting the national anthem given rise to so many disturbances?
立法會這數天審議《條例草案》的條文，竟然需要數千名警員布防，原因是擔心有大量暴徒衝擊。
In these few days during which the Legislative Council is deliberating on the provisions of the Bill thousands of police officers are required to be deployed for fear that a large number of rioters would storm this Council
從最近的報道可見，這些所謂的暴徒不少是青少年，為何他們會不怕犯法，走上街頭進行他們認為合理的暴力抗爭呢？
As we can see in some recent news reports quite a number of these so - called rioters are teenagers . Why would they take to the streets to engage in the violent struggles which they deem reasonable without being afraid of breaking the law?
除了有幕後黑手推波助瀾之外，歸根究底，就是香港不負責任的媒體多年來渲染所造成的結果。
Apart from the masterminds behind the scene who add fuel to the fire in the final analysis it is the outcome of the smears of those irresponsible media in Hong Kong over the years
主席，香港回歸23年，不少對內地存有偏見的傳媒，對內地各方面的進步和脫貧的成效，多年來幫助香港經濟、就業、民生等貢獻都隻字不提，反而一面倒報道內地的負面消息，用"蝗蟲"來標籤內地旅客，把"水貨客"的問題歸咎於內地人。
Chairman 23 years have passed since the reunification of Hong Kong quite a number of media with prejudice against the Mainland have never mentioned anything about the progress of the Mainland on various fronts and its achievement in poverty alleviation as well as its contribution of assisting in aspects such as Hong Kongs economy employment and peoples livelihood over the years . Instead what they have reported are lopsided on the negative news of the Mainland whereas they have used the term locusts to label Mainland travellers and put the blame of the parallel traders problem on Mainlanders
這些傳媒為了強化自己的理據，又選擇性為歐美國家的民主自由制度塗脂抹粉，令人以為只要有自由民主，便甚麼都會成功，即使出現施政失誤亦值得原諒。
In a bid to reinforce their justifications these media have also selectively whitewashed the democratic and liberal systems of European and American countries making people believe that everything will end up in success as long as there is freedom and democracy and even administrative malpractices are forgivable
歐美國家尤其是美國在近期的疫情中明顯處理失誤，包括今次的暴亂，大家卻很少看到反對派公開大肆批評，或者要求制裁美國或實施封關措施。
European and American countries―especially the United States―have apparently made mistakes when dealing with the recent epidemic including the riot this time yet we seldom see the opposition camp publicly criticize them bitterly or demand sanctions against the United States or to close the door
事實證明，政府有限度封關的決定是正確的，可以幫助到有需要的香港市民。
Facts have proven that it is a correct decision for the Government to close the border partially which can help those Hong Kong people in need
基於上述原因，大家應該明白，短期內將難以扭轉小部分港人敵視國家的態度，我覺得反對"一國兩制"的違法事件將會繼續發生。
For these reasons we should realize that the hostile attitude of a handful of Hong Kong people towards our country can hardly be reversed in the short term . I reckon that unlawful incidents in breach of one country two systems will continue to take place
既然無法通過自律解決不尊重國歌的問題，故此唯有透過立法規範不恰當的行為。
Since it is impossible to resolve the issue of showing disrespect for the national anthem through self - discipline we can only resort to legislation to regulate such improper behaviours
主席，《條例草案》的內容合情、合理、合法，並不存在限制市民自由表達意見的權利。
Chairman the content of the Bill is fair reasonable and legitimate whereas it will not restrict the rights for members of the public to express their opinions freely
我們希望透過立法，令市民能夠正面認識國家，以正確的態度對人、對事和對國家。
It is our hope that through legislation members of the public can understand our country in a positive way and treat people things and our country with the correct attitude
主席，我的修正案是修訂《國歌條例草案》第11條，以加入第條，內容是"本條例中的條文只受香港法例管限並只按照香港法例解釋。
Chairman my amendment seeks to amend clause 11 of the National Anthem Bill the Bill by adding subclause 1A to provide that the provisions in this Ordinance should be governed by and interpreted in accordance with solely the laws of Hong Kong
"主席，我會在以下的時間，從3個互相扣連的角度鋪陳我的論點。
Chairman I am going to present my arguments afterwards from three inter - related perspectives
我的基礎是《條例草案》猶如北京強行訂立港區國安法一樣，在缺乏社會共識的基礎下，希望在一片爭議聲中強行通過《條例草案》。
My argument is based on the fact that the passage of the Bill similar to the forcible enactment of the national security law in Hong Kong by Beijing is intended to be bulldozed through amidst bitter controversies in the absence of a consensus in society
主席，我提出的第一個原因是，正如剛才提到這類型的法案，包括《條例草案》或港區國安法，甚至是大家記憶猶新、在去年鬧得滿城風雨的《逃犯條例》，其實在呈交本會審議之前，並未取得社會的廣泛共識。
Chairman the first reason that I wish to raise is as I have mentioned earlier for this type of bills including the Bill or the national security law in Hong Kong or even the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance FOO which stirred up considerable uproar last year and is still vivid in our memory no broad consensus has in fact been reached in society prior to their presentation to this Council for scrutiny
究竟她有否汲取教訓呢？
Has she learnt a lesson indeed?
主席，以下我會用一個例子來凸顯林鄭月娥的虛偽。
Chairman I am going to cite an example to highlight how hypocritic Carrie LAM is
東晉第一個皇帝晉元帝司馬睿是一個非常喜歡喝酒的人，在他登基之前，他的好朋友王導經常勸他戒酒，當司馬睿正式登基後，王導再次聲淚俱下地規勸他，司馬睿便突然說："好，拿酒來。
SIMA Rui Emperor Yuan of Jin who was the first emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was very fond of drinking wine . His good friend WANG Dao often advised him to give up alcohol before he ascended the throne . WANG Dao persuaded him to give up alcohol again with tearful pleas after SIMA Rui had officially ascended the throne
主席，一位古代專權的皇帝尚且願意聽取意見，知道管治者有所為、有所不為。
Chairman even an autocratic emperor in ancient times was willing to listen to others advice and understood what a ruler should do and what he should not
"林鄭"口中的汲取教訓，其實是否嫌自己在過去數年特別是去年做得不夠狠、不夠徹底呢？
By saying that she had learnt a lesson did she actually mean that she blamed herself for not having done ruthlessly and recklessly enough in the past few years especially in last year?
主席，《逃犯條例》的經驗告訴我們，即使政府能夠在立法會取得過半數支持，香港人仍然會竭盡所能，用自己的方法，包括走上街 頭，表達自己的聲音和不滿。
Chairman the experience of FOO reveals to us that even if the Government manages to secure more than half of the votes in the Legislative Council Hongkongers would still exert their best to express their voices and dissatisfaction in their own way including taking to the streets
主席，正如我剛才所說，我會慢慢鋪陳我的論點。
Chairman as I have said earlier I will take my time to expound my arguments
我們很清楚看到，當特區政府漠視香港人的意見時，是用同樣的嘴臉敷衍香港人。
We can see clearly that the SAR Government has adopted the same attitude when ignoring Hongkongers opinions and dealing with their demands perfunctorily
我想特別指出，去年同樣是這個時候，即是在6月初，我們記得曾經有過百萬香港人上街表達訴求，但特區政府充耳不聞。
I wish to point out in particular that around this time last year ie . in early June we can recall that millions of Hongkongers took to the streets to voice out their demands but the SAR Government turned a deaf ear to them
如此龐大的反對聲音，其實包括保皇黨也必然清楚聽見。
In fact they including the pro - Government camp must have heard such a large voice of opposition unequivocally
時至今日，可能由於疫情的原因，令香港人未必能夠像以往般踴躍上街，反對《條例草案》，但我相信任何眼睛雪亮的人都清楚知道，即使保皇黨這一刻能夠贏得他們主子的讚賞，但他們卻是一次又一次地，親手摧毀自己的聲譽，以及香港人對他們的信任。
Nowadays perhaps due to the epidemic it might not be possible for Hongkongers to take to the streets as actively as they did in the past to express their opposition against the Bill . That said I believe that anyone with a discerning eye would see clearly that even if the pro - Government camp can win the appreciation of their master at this moment they have actually destroyed their reputation as well as Hongkongers trust in them with their own hands once and again
主席，我想指出的第二個原因，其實令人感到更加無奈和可悲，因為特區政府和保皇黨現時乾脆懶得向香港人裝作秉持程序公義。
Chairman the second reason that I wish to point out is actually more frustrating and saddening since the SAR Government and the pro - Government camp now even do not bother to pretend to Hongkongers that they are practising procedural justice
今次公民黨只能提出一項修正案，原因是主席以刪減條文會影響立法原意為由，拒絕批准由公民黨議員包括我在內提出的9項修正案。
Now the Civic Party can only propose one amendment as the President has ruled that the nine amendments proposed by Members of the Civic Party including me are inadmissible on the ground that deleting the provisions would compromise the legislative intent
一如既往，主席沒有給予我們詳細理由，解釋公民黨提出刪減條文如何影響立法原意。
As in the past the President has not provided us with any detailed reasons to explain how the legislative intent would be compromised by the deletion of provisions as proposed by the Civic Party
不過，我想指出，如果我們仔細審閱《條例草案》的主題和弁言，便會得出一個簡單而又清晰的結論。
However I would like to point out that we can draw a simple and clear conclusion after reading the theme and preamble of the Bill carefully
《條例草案》有數個目的，包括列明奏唱國歌的意義、原則，以及教育香港市民尊重國歌和愛護國家等。
The Bill has several purposes which include setting out the meaning and principles of playing and singing the national anthem as well as educating the people of Hong Kong to respect the national anthem and love the country etc
事實上，這項修正案不會影響《條例草案》中任何其他條文，例如教育香港人尊重國歌、宏揚愛國精神的條文。
In fact this amendment will not affect any other provisions in the Bill such as the provisions in relation to educating Hongkongers to respect the national anthem and those propagating a patriotic spirit
如果原因是其他議員認為刪減罰則後，《條例草案》的阻嚇力不足，其實議員可以否決公民黨的修正案，無須由主席拒絕批准我們提出相關的修正案。
If the reason is that other Members would consider the deterrent effect of the Bill to be insufficient after deleting the penalty provision actually Members can veto the amendments proposed by the Civic Party instead of having the President rule that our relevant amendments are inadmissible
我相信主席亦清楚記得，在2018年11月22日，陳志全議員在本會動議一項議案，促請政府給予同性伴侶與異性伴侶享有平等的權利，當時梁美芬議員就這項議案提出修正案，但卻把措辭改為"一男一女"及"一夫一妻"的婚姻制度，此舉不單影響陳志全議員提出議案的原意，簡直是180度改變了議案的意思，但當時同樣作為主席的你，仍然批准梁美芬議員作出這樣的修訂，原因是甚麼呢？
I believe the Chairman should also remember clearly that Mr CHAN Chi - chuen moved a motion in this Council on 22 November 2018 urging the Government to enable homosexual couples to enjoy equal rights as heterosexual couples . Back then Dr Priscilla LEUNG proposed an amendment to this motion by changing the wording to marriage institution based on one man and one woman and one husband and one wife . This amendment has not only affected the original intent of Mr CHAN Chi - chuen in proposing the motion but it has also completely altered the meaning of the motion to exactly the opposite
我希望說的第三個論點，是關於《條例草案》第7條，即是我剛才提到的"侮辱行為的罪行"，公民黨認為，這項條文是完全不能接受的。
This is simply because you were biased and unfair . The third argument that I wish to put forward concerns about clause 7 of the Bill which is the offence of insulting behaviour that I have referred to earlier . The Civic Party considers this provision totally unacceptable
正如之前數位議員亦有提及，就國旗或區旗而言，我們仍能客觀地指出何謂焚燒、毀損、塗劃、玷污、踐踏等行為，因為國旗看得見、觸得到，而這些行為有客觀而清晰的標準。
Just as several Members have mentioned in their earlier remarks insofar as the national flag or the regional flag is concerned we can still point out in an objective manner what constitutes the behaviours of burning mutilating scrawling on defiling or trampling on the flag etc as we can see and touch the national flag so that there are objective and clear standards for such behaviours
不過，如果我們看看《條例草案》第72條，當中提及"任何人如公開及故意以任何方式侮辱國歌，即屬犯罪"；而第78條則解釋，就國歌而言，侮辱指損害國歌作為中華人民共和國的象徵和標誌的尊嚴。
Yet if we take a look at clause 72 of the Bill it provides that a person commits an offence if the person publicly and intentionally insults the national anthem in any way . It is then explained in clause 78 that in relation to the national anthem insult means to undermine the dignity of the national anthem as a symbol and sign of the Peoples Republic of China
主席，假設一名完全缺乏法律知識，只具備常識或對中文有基本了解的人看到這項條文，他必然會同意相關字眼其實十分空泛，究竟何謂"侮辱國歌"呢？
Chairman assuming that a person who knows nothing about law but has only common sense or a basic understanding of the Chinese language reads this provision he will surely agree that the relevant wording is extremely vague indeed . What exactly does insult the national anthem refer to?
何謂"損害國歌作為中華人民共和國的象徵和標誌的尊嚴"呢？
What does undermine the dignity of the national anthem as a symbol and sign of the Peoples Republic of China mean?
"侮辱"一詞其實沒有客觀標準。
In fact there is no objective standard for the term insult
主席，不如以上星期在本會發生的事情為例，當時主席作出裁決，指"最佳主席李慧琼"這7個字不容繼續在議會內展示，其實這亦是主席你的主觀判斷......
Chairman let me take what happened in this Council last week as an example . Back then the Chairman ruled that the phrase Starry LEE the best Chairman should not continue to be displayed in the legislature anymore actually this is also your subjective judgment Chairman
楊議員，請你返回這項辯論的議題。
Mr YEUNG please come back to the question of the debate
我提醒你，主席的裁決是不容辯論的。
I have to remind you that the Presidents ruling is not subject to debate
你身為專業人士，理應明白《議事規則》的規定，請你尊重自己的專業。
Being a professional you should understand the regulations under the Rules of Procedure . Please respect your profession
在上星期的會議，很多議員說《國歌條例草案》是一項惡法，不單削弱了"一國兩制"下"港人治港"、"高度 自治"的精神，更重要和更可怕的是會嚴重摧毀香港的核心價值，即是人權和自由。
At the meeting last week many Members said that the National Anthem Bill the Bill was a draconian law . Not only would it undermine the spirit of Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong and high degree of autonomy under one country two systems but it would also wreck the core values of human rights and freedom of Hong Kong
這好像打開了潘朵拉的盒子，一旦引入惡法，打開了法治的缺口便難以回頭，故此我仍然反對《條例草案》。
This is even more important and fearful as if the Pandoras Box has been opened . Once the draconian law is introduced a loophole is created and there will be no turning back . Hence I still oppose the Bill
《條例草案》的二讀議案已在上星期獲得通過，現時已進入全體委員會審議階段，我們唯有支持4位議員提出的21項修正案，盡最大努力減低《條例草案》對社會造成的傷害。
The Second Reading of the Bill was passed last week and we are now in the Committee stage . We have no alternative but to support the 21 amendments proposed by four Members making the last ditch effort to minimize the harm done by the Bill to society
我認為當中3項修正案比較重要，想在此特別指出為何我會支持。
I think three of the amendments are more important and would like to point out here in particular my reasons for supporting these amendments
為何我會支持此項修正案呢？
Why do I support this amendment?
大家都知道，在建制派支持下，《條例草案》一定會獲得通過。
We all know that with the support of the pro - establishment camp the Bill will definitely be passed
不過，我知道這樣想是過於天真，這項修正案又怎會獲通過呢？
Yet I know I am too naïve to think so . How would this amendment be passed?
在這樣的前提下，香港人怎會不擔心香港的法律制度會因而被中國的法律概念所滲透呢？
Against this background how would the people of Hong Kong not worry that the legal concepts of China will penetrate the legal system of Hong Kong?
"一國兩制"下的香港法制會否受到嚴峻挑戰呢？
Will the legal system of Hong Kong under one country two systems be seriously challenged?
將來會否蕩然無存呢？
Will it collapse completely?
事實上，兩地的法制並不相同，法律所使用的字眼及對法律的理解亦不相同，而大陸對《國歌法》條文中不尊重國歌行為的演繹，與香港的理解亦可能完全不相同。
In fact the legal systems of the two places are different and the legal terms and understanding of laws are also different . Regarding the provisions of the National Anthem Law Mainlands interpretation of the behaviours which are disrespectful to the national anthem may be completely different from that of Hong Kong
哪些行為會構成侮辱國歌呢？
What behaviours would constitute an insult to the national anthem?
