早在1990年代，有年輕人問我，10年前的老一輩人常說民主回歸，不知 他們有沒有考慮過港獨的可能性？
Back in the 1990s young people already asked me The older generation of the preceding decade often talked about the democratic return of Hong Kong have they ever considered the option of Hong Kong independence?
我當時失笑回答年輕人，還說甚麼港獨，香港連水也沒有，我們超過八成食水來自東江水。
I broke into laughter then and replied to the young people As Hong Kong does not have water and over 80 % of our fresh water comes from the Dongjiang River how can we talk about Hong Kong independence?
你聽到有大陸官員說，東江水是香港人的命脈，沒有東江水，沒有大陸照顧香港人，香港死路一條。
You may have heard Mainland officials say that Dongjiang water is the lifeline of Hong Kong people and should there be no Dongjiang water with no Mainland to take care of Hong Kong people Hong Kong is just a dead end
希望政府稍後回答這個問題。
I hope the Government will answer this question later
最近有一份很詳盡的報告表示，香港的水問題越來越嚴重。
Recently a very exhaustive report shows that the water problem in Hong Kong is getting worse
水務署，甚至發展局可能會覺得報告所推算的數字誇張，但驟然聽到這報告的內容會令你很擔心。
The Water Supplies Department and even the Development Bureau may find the figures projected in the report being exaggerated . Yet you will be worried when you unexpectedly learn about the contents of this report
黃碧雲議員，請發言。
Dr Helena WONG please speak
我聽罷譚志源局長剛才的回應，他主要回應兩點：首先是一定依法進行，這點是最重要的，無論是現屆或下屆政府都是一樣。
After listening to Secretary Raymond TAMs response just now I can summarize his reply into two major points . First it is of utmost importance to proceed in accordance with both for this Government and the next
當然，我們在議會內做任何事，都要依法而行，不依法是不對的。
Of course all the businesses in the legislature should be conducted according to the law and it will be wrong if it is not conducted according to the law
然而，問題在於，如何依法呢？
However the question is how can we act in accordance with the law?
這才是最重要。
It is of utmost importance
我們必須看看兩份文件，就是"全國人民代表大會常務委員會關於香港特別行政區2012年行政長官和立法會產生辦法及有關普選問題的決定"。
We should look at two papers . One of them is the Decision of the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress on Issues Relating to the Methods for Selecting the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and for Forming the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in the Year 2012 and on Issues Relating to Universal Suffrage
該文件中其中很重要的一句，就是"根據香港基本法第四十五條的規定，在香港特別行政區行政長官實行普選產生的辦法時，須組成一個有廣泛代表性的提名委員會。
A very importance sentence in the paper is in accordance with the provisions of Article 45 of the Hong Kong Basic Law in selecting the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region by the method of universal suffrage a broadly representative nominating committee shall be formed
"然後是"提名委員會須按照民主程序提名產生若干名行政長官候選人"。
and then the nominating committee shall in accordance with democratic procedures nominate a certain number of candidates for the office of the Chief Executive
如果不是，即是說現時這個提名委員會根本未夠廣泛代表性，最低限度是有改善的空間的。
If that is not the case it simply means that the current nominating committee is not broadly representative at least there is room for improvement
因此，它未能完全依據法律規定執行。
For that reason it cannot be fully implemented according to the law
因為對於一般市民，特別是無權投票的市民，眼看這千多人投票，代表他們作出決定。
As to the common people in particular those who have no right to vote in this election can do nothing but to look on 1 000 - odd people to cast their votes on their behalf
這樣真是很不理想，亦很悲慘。
It was rather undesirable and sad
因為那千多人是否能夠真的如文件所述，具有廣泛代表性呢？
Could those 1 000 - odd people really be that broadly representative as the papers depicted?
原因是，只是由十多二十萬名選民選出這千多人，就是有廣泛代表性，將來會怎樣？
The reason is that if these 1 000 - odd people who are just elected by 100 000 to 200 000 people are broadly representative then what about the future?
所以，其實當日的選舉，只是一場徹頭徹尾的小圈子的權利和遊戲。
Therefore the election held on that day was nothing but a total small - circle game of power
它不單視民意如糞土，簡直視民情如洪水猛獸。
It does not only consider public opinions worthless they utterly consider popular sentiments great scourges
大家都知道，雨傘運動是爭取真普選的，但如此諷刺的是，爭取真普選的人竟然在一位不是由普選產生的候任特首產生後不久便被清算。
Everyone knows that the goal of the Umbrella Movement is to fight for genuine universal suffrage but what is so sarcastic is that people fighting for genuine universal suffrage were being purged not long after a Chief Executive - elected was not selected who was not returned by universal suffrage
我認為這做法真的令市民質疑政府究竟在搞甚麼，是否在抑壓、踐踏香港的民主呢？
I consider the approach will make people question what is going on with the Government and whether it is trying to suppress and trample on Hong Kongs democracy?
代理主席，我不知道她有多大誠意做這個工作？
Deputy President I do not know how sincere she is in this commitment?
然而，問題在於若我們要修補撕裂，我認為不能單靠口講，甚至在當她當選後，與民主派議員會面，便叫作修補撕裂。
Nevertheless the question is that if we are to mend the cleavage I do not think the lip service will do the job not to mention her meeting up with pan - democratic camp Members and deems that as mending the cleavage
事實上，最重要的是要有實際行動來顯示她有心修補撕裂。
In fact the most important thing is to put words into deeds to show that she is sincere enough to mend the cleavage
無論是他用語言"偽術"、講大話或刺激社會矛盾，將社會問題深化而令社會撕裂外，其實亦有一個深層次的問題存在。
No matter he uses weasel words or lies or tries to instigate social conflicts thereby intensifying the social issues and aggravating the social cleavage there is nevertheless a deep - seated problem
那便是特首選舉過於傾斜社會中上層的人士，才讓這些人有權成為所謂具有廣泛代表性的提名委員會的委員。
That is the Chief Executive election has tilted too much to the middle and upper class people in society . In so doing these people are made members of the nominating committee which is a so - called broadly representative one
因此，特首候選人參選時，便要得到他們的投票和支持，而當選後，自然也要向他們的利益方面傾斜。
As a result when a person becomes Chief Executive election candidate he or she will try to secure votes and support from these people . And when he or she is elected it is very natural for him or her to tilt towards their interests
所以，我們很多時候說官商勾結，這結果是必然的。
For this reason we have been saying from time to time that the government - business collusion is an inevitable result
我們看到很多發展商囤積達1,000平方呎的農地，現任特首並無向他們"埋手"我不知道下屆特首會不會？
We can see that many developers are hoarding on 1 000 sq ft of farmland but the incumbent Chief Executive has not wielded the axe at them―I am not sure if the next Chief Executive will do that?―not to wield the axe at them and then says no land supply
如果我們不解拆這種政治架構，這種偏頗仍然存在，社會間的分化、撕裂，仍然未能修補，民生問題亦無從解決。
If we are reluctant to dissemble this political structure the partiality will persist . Social polarization and social cleavage will not be mended and there will be no way to address peoples livelihood issues
所以，我認為我們不應該任由這項"不平等供水條約"繼續存在，應該盡快主動地更改有關協議。
We cannot allow this unfair water supply agreement to continue . Instead we should take the initiative to amend the agreement as soon as possible
事實上，造成這種嚴重浪費的主要原因，正如很多議員同事也提到，現時購買東江水的協議是採用"統包總額"方式，即是說按年用量估算來收費，而非按量來付費。
As mentioned by many fellow Members the main reason for such serious wastage is that the package deal lump sum approach was adopted under the current agreement for the purchase of Dongjiang water . According to this approach fixed water prices are paid based on estimated annual water consumption instead of actual consumption
在這協議下，本港每年均要花數十億元來支付最高供水量的費用，但每年實際供水量只達到當中約八成，變相將食水倒進鹹水海，香港用以購買食水的錢便浪費了，等同浪費金錢、浪費食水。
Pursuant to this agreement Hong Kong has to pay billions of dollars each year for an annual supply ceiling but the actual quantities supplied were only about 80 % of the ceiling each year . The excess water was discharged into the sea . The money spent on purchasing water was wasted and water was wasted
水務署一直以來的解釋是，"統包總額"制度可以令香港在遇上百年一遇的極旱情況下，仍然能夠維持全日供水。
The Water Supplies Department has been telling us that adoption of the package deal lump sum approach ensures that Hong Kong enjoys reliable supply of water round - the - clock even under once - in - a - century extreme drought
事實上，我記得在1963年時，香港曾經出現嚴重的旱季，東江水的儲水量大約只有50億5,000萬立方米而已，換言之，只有現時大約一半的水量。
I recall that in 1963 Hong Kong came across a serious drought . At that time the storage level of Dongjiang River reached about 5.05 billion cu m only which was about half of the current level
如果再發生這種情況，我們擔心不單其他城市也需求一定的供水量外，其實香港是否真的能夠得到足夠的供水量呢？
If Hong Kong comes across another serious drought we doubt whether Hong Kong will really obtain sufficient water supply when other cities also need certain level of water supply
既然如此，為甚麼政府不盡快提升自我供水的能力？
That being the case why does the Government not increase the local water supply capacity as soon as possible?
很多時候，當我們提出水源問題時，當然會提到所謂自給自足的概念，但政府會強調，如果本地集中水量以解決問題，其實是未能達到需求，而且香港儲水量的波幅很大，亦不可靠。
More often than not when discussing the issue of water resources we will inevitably talk about self - reliance . However the Government always emphasizes that local water resources alone cannot solve the problem because they cannot meet the demand and that the storage level of Hong Kong fluctuates a lot and is unreliable
不過，如果以事論事，我知道並明白，香港現時的供水系統設備實在不能夠自給自足。
Fairly speaking I know and understand that the current water supply systems of Hong Kong do not allow us to attain self - reliance
所以，我們不只是看目前，而是長遠來看，我們如何能夠解決這問題才是最重要。
As such we should not focus on the present only; instead we have to consider the longer term . The key is how we can resolve this problem
第一，正如我剛才所說，如何推動以海水化淡方式生產食水、如何回收雨水再用，或如何提升再造水的技術等。
The first area as I just said is to promote the use of seawater desalination technology . Other areas are storage and recycling of rainwater as well as enhancing the technology for reclaiming water
從這數方面下工夫，以減少對東江水的需求。
We can work on these areas to reduce our reliance on Dongjiang water
事實上，以海水化淡方式生產食水而言，目前東江水每立方米大約成本為8元，而將軍澳海水化淡廠啟用後，每立方米大約成本為12元，較東江水昂貴。
About producing fresh water using desalination technology it is known that the cost of purchasing Dongjiang water is currently about 8 per cubic metre while the cost of producing fresh water by the Tseung Kwan O Desalination Plant upon its commencement of operation will be about 12 per cubic metre which is more expensive than purchasing Dongjiang water
在此消彼長的情況下，這個差距可能會收窄，屆時不單可以進一步提高海水化淡水的供水量，亦可以提升購買東江水的議價能力，不會再如肉隨砧板上，任人宰割。
With the increased prices of Dongjiang water and reduced costs of desalinated water the cost difference may be narrowed . By then not only can we further increase the water supply capacity of the desalination plant our bargaining power in negotiating for better terms regarding the purchase of Dongjiang water will also be enhanced and we will no longer be subjected to exploitation without any alternatives
當然，除了開源之外，還要從環保的角度來節流，節流亦非常重要。
In addition to increasing local water supply capacity water conservation is also a key issue from the perspective of environmental protection
因此，政府必須加強節約用水的公眾教育，擴大海水沖廁覆蓋的比例，並控制水管滲漏等問題，這些均需要下工夫。
Therefore the Government should strengthen the public education on water conservation expand the coverage of seawater flushing network and control water leakage . More efforts should be put in these areas
過去數年，已有很多宗食水管爆裂事件，浪費不少食水，故此，政府需要推行上述種種措施，而我認為政府目前急切要做的是，如何改變購買東江水的方式，將購買方式由"統包總額"改為"按量收費"，為香港爭取公平合理的方法......
In the past few years there were many cases of fresh water mains burst that caused large amount of water wastage . In my opinion among the above measures that should be implemented by the Government the priority is to change the approach of purchasing Dongjiang water from the package deal lump sum approach to a quantity - based charging approach and bargain for a fair and reasonable deal for Hong Kong
代理主席，我當初提出這項議案時，正值林鄭月娥被小圈子推選為特首。
Deputy President when I initially introduced this motion Carrie LAM was being elected the Chief Executive through a coterie election
今年是回歸20周年，亦是《基本法》頒布27周年。
This year is the 20 anniversary of Hong Kongs reunification with China . It is also the 27 anniversary of the promulgation of the Basic Law
他們覺得，自香港回歸的20年間，中央不曾尊重《基本法》、"一國兩制"、"港人治港"和"高度自治"。
They think that over the past 20 years since Hong Kongs reunification the Central Government has not respected the Basic Law one country two systems Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy
香港如何成為國際金融中心呢？
How can Hong Kong be regarded as an international financial centre?
何謂"高度自治"、"港人治港"呢？
What is meant by a high degree of autonomy and Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong?
不過，過去數個月的變化不但無法令香港人得到半點安樂，更令他們預見在7月後，社會根據中央的戲譜只會更為撕裂。
However the changes in the past several months has not only failed to relieve Hong Kong peoples worries but also forecast that the dissension of the society will aggravate after July as the script of the Central Government proceeds
八三一決定落下了3道閘，第一，是關乎提名委員會的組成。
The Decision set three barriers . The first is about the composition of the nominating committee
大家皆知道，提名委員會反映出小圈子選舉最醜陋的一面。
As you all know the nominating committee reflects the ugliest side of a coterie election
全港380萬的"打工仔"原來沒有份選出勞工界選委。
The 3.8 million wage earners in Hong Kong do not have the right to vote for their representatives in the Labour Constituency
這做法令葉劉淑儀議員甚至曾鈺成等由建制培養的人士皆無法"入閘"。
This arrangement would even deny the access of those people who are cultivated by the pro - establishment camp such as Mrs Regina IP or Jasper TSANG
便是中央有任命權。
It is the authority of appointment from the Central Government
最後一道閘讓大家知道，當選的任何人皆只是得到"舉手機器"支持的扯線公仔而已。
The last barrier lets us know that whoever is elected is just a string puppet with only the support of the voting machine
我們不要一個事事聽命於北京的特首，亦不想一個無法代表港人的人成為特首。
Neither do we want a Chief Executive who only listens to Beijing on everything nor a person who cannot represent Hong Kong people to become the Chief Executive
過去，"大白象"工程接連超支，例如港珠澳大橋超支54億元，廣深港高速鐵路超支近200億元，還有中部水域人工島和陸續開展的基建。
In the past several white elephant construction projects exceeded their budgets one after another . For example the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge project cost 5.4 billion more than the original budget and the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL saw a cost overrun of nearly 20 billion . There are also the artificial islands in the central waters and many other infrastructures which will be undertaken soon
在進行真正的諮詢前，林鄭月娥便已順應中央旨意，打算在西九文化區興建香港故宮文 化博物館，亦在沒有充分諮詢下，打算花數以百億元來發展落馬洲河套地區。
Before conducting a real consultation Carrie LAM already followed the will of the Central Government to plan for the Hong Kong Palace Museum in the West Kowloon Cultural District . Similarly she planned to spend tens of billion dollars to develop the Lok Ma Chau Loop without sufficient consultation
我們不要扯線公仔，亦不想見到香港繼續撕裂；我們想要的，是《基本法》清楚訂明的"一國兩制"和"港人治港"。
We do not want a string puppet; nor do we want to see continued dissension in Hong Kong . What we want is one country two systems and Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong as stipulated clearly in the Basic Law
所有關於選舉和尊重香港三權分立的文件和契約均已在《基本法》中列明，絕非一如張德江所說般，只是一些讓他予取予攜的承諾。
All documents and covenants related to elections and the respect for Hong Kongs separation of powers are already stipulated in the Basic Law . They are not just empty promises to meet the endless demands claimed by ZHANG Dejiang
我今天提出的這項議案要求下任特首林鄭月娥以撤回八三一決定和重啟政改作為她最重要的工作，令香港不再撕裂，還香港人普選，還香港人公道，令社會可以繼續向前。
The motion I introduce today is to urge the next Chief Executive Carrie LAM to place the withdrawal of the 31 August Decision and the reactivation of constitutional reform as her most important task so that Hong Kong will no longer be torn apart universal suffrage will be given back to Hong Kong people fairness will be given back to Hong Kong people and the society can move forward
有兩位議員要就這項議案動議修正案。
Two Members will move amendments to this motion
本會現在就議案及兩項修正案進行合併辯論。
Council will now proceed to a joint debate on the motion and the two amendments
我會依次請要動議修正案的梁志祥議員及黃碧雲議員發言；但他們在現階段不可動議修正案。
I will call upon Members who move the amendments to speak in the following order Mr LEUNG Che - cheung and Dr Helena WONG; but they may not move the amendments at this stage
梁志祥議員的修正案其實是廢話，因為梁志祥議員將最重要的撤回人大八三一，重啟政改的部分刪走，即是"做了等於無做"。
Mr LEUNG Che - cheungs amendment is nothing but a load of nonsense . Because Mr LEUNG Che - cheung proposes to delete the most important part namely the part concerning the invalidation of 31 August Decision made by the Standing Committee of National Peoples Congress NPCSC and reactivating the constitutional reform . That is to say making futile efforts which is tantamount to doing nothing at all
這點我也明白，因為民建聯最初是大家還記得支持2007年及2008年雙普選。
I understand this point . Because at the beginning the Democratic Alliance for Betterment of Hong Kong DAB―everyone should remember that―supported the dual universal suffrage in 2007 and 2008
不過，這點對於我一直認識的一些前民建聯議員落差很大......
Nevertheless this is very different from some former DAB Members
民建聯的創黨主席曾鈺成，最近也回應王振民一句說話，他說"一國兩制"如果不幸失敗，國家損失真的只是面子嗎？
Mr Jasper TSANG the founding chairman of DAB has recently responded to the remarks made by Prof WANG Zhenmin . He said that if one country two systems failed unfortunately would the state merely lose its face alone?
他引述鄧小平說的把"一國兩制"作為國家改革開放國策的重要組成部分，"一國兩制"不只是面子，還是裏子。
Quoting DENG Xiaoping he said that one country two systems was an important constituent of the national policy on the reform and opening of China and one country two systems was not just the veneer but also the lining
所以，我尊敬在建制派、民建聯當中都有人會說人話，不過對於現時如劉國勳議員之流，我也沒有需要去回應。
For that reason I respect someone from the pro - establishment camp and DAB who are still speaking out the truth . But I do not find it necessary to respond to Mr LAU Kwok - fan and the like
其實《中華人民共和國憲法》寫得很清楚，而中華人民共和國 1954年出版的《憲法》第八十六及八十七條說明，中華人民共和國公民有言論、出版、集會、結社、遊行及示威的自由，亦有選舉權及被選舉權。
In fact the Constitution of PRC has made clear stipulations . It was stipulated in Articles 86 and 87 of the Constitution of PRC which was published in 1954 that citizens of PRC enjoy freedom of speech freedom of the press freedom of assembly freedom of association freedom of procession and freedom of demonstration; and they also have the right to vote and stand for election
但是，北京從來都是說了便當做了，亦很希望將這些寫明但永遠不會實行的事項在香港落實。
However as to Beijing they always think that words spoken are actions taken and they do hope that these rights which have been explicitly laid down but will never be implemented to be implemented in Hong Kong
因為根據人大常委會的職責，對於一些在人大常委會討論過，甚至已經決定的決議，人大常委會都可以根據當時的形勢推翻。
It is because according to the responsibilities of NPCSC no matter what has been discussed or even whatever decisions have been made by NPCSC NPCSC may overrule them according to the actual situation
這亦是設計人大常委會最重要的目的。
This is also the most important purpose in the design of NPCSC
不過，當然，看回今天的中國共產黨，這些寫明的事實都不是真的。
However of course if one looks back on todays Communist Party of China CPC all of these stipulations in black and white are not real
有些人說不可以抄襲外國的的做法，不過，我們認為看行動便最實際。
Some people said that we should not copy the practice of foreign countries . But action speaks louder than words
大部分中國的國家領導人——包括很多貪官，都盡早將子女送到西方國家讀書，甚至把親戚、兄弟姊妹正如習近平的親戚、兄弟，轉做外國公民，還將資金——特別是大量黑錢轉移到外國去，因為那裏比較安全。
Most of the leaders of China―including a lot of corrupted officials have sent their children abroad to study in western countries or they have even made their relatives and siblings―such as XI Jinpings kin and brothers become foreign citizens . They even transferred money―in particular a large amount of bribe money to foreign countries because it would be safer to do so
至於抄襲外國的例子亦非新事物。
As to examples of copying things from foreign countries they are nothing new too
因此，我認為最重要的，就是今天我提出這項議案，是希望還香港人一個公道。
For that reason what I consider the most important part is that todays motion moved by me will hopefully give Hong Kong people a fair deal
因為這些寫在《基本法》裏，應允香港人所有包括雙普選的承諾，是不應該可耻地被拿走的。
It is because all the stipulations written in the Basic Law including the pledges of giving Hong Kong people the dual universal suffrage should not be taken away in a shameful fashion
我們亦不應接受假普選。
We should not accept a fake universal suffrage
經過了梁志祥議員等人的修改，便很簡單，就是叫所有香港人"一人一票"假普選。
As the motion is amended by Mr LEUNG Che - cheung and the like it is very simple they try to convince Hong Kong people to accept a fake one person one vote universal suffrage
如果有得選，我們不要假普選。
if we are able to select we will not select a fake universal suffrage
主席，當林鄭月娥當選成為由小圈子選舉產生的特首後，她極希望令社會變得和諧。
President when Carrie LAM was elected Chief Executive returned in the coterie election she indicated her strong wish of bringing social harmony
我相信香港人最記得她說的一句話，就是如果香港人的主流意見令她無法擔任行政長官，她會辭職。
I think Hong Kong people find her remark that she would resign if the mainstream opinion of Hong Kong people made her no longer able to continue the job as chief executive most unforgettable
我不知這事何時會實現，但由"689"變成"777"，社會不會更和諧，只會由"撕裂1.0"變為"撕裂2.0"。
I have no idea when this will become a reality but it is for sure that our society will not be a more harmonious one even after 777 takes the place of 689 . Instead it will transform from Division 1.0 to Division 2.0
很多人說，我們不談民主，不談政改，只談民生便可，這樣便能解決所有問題。
Many people are of the view that we need only focus on livelihood issues and put aside matters concerning democracy and politics . That way all the problems can be resolved supposedly
但是，今天香港發生的所有民生問題皆與政治有關。
However all the livelihood issues facing Hong Kong today are paradoxically related to politics . So far the Government has neither put in place a universal retirement protection scheme nor introduced standard working hours
或許他也明白到，追隨這位"撕裂2.0"特首並沒意思，寧可選擇提早退休。
Perhaps he knows too well that it is meaningless to be a follower of the Chief Executive Division 2.0 and would rather opt for early retirement
他又提及何謂"授權"，但我相信即使不懂政治的人也能知道，權力是由人民授予。
He also mentioned the meaning of delegation but I trust that even someone who knows nothing about politics can tell that power is conferred by the people
當一個政府沒有人民授權，便是偽政權。
A Government without peoples mandate is nothing more than a pseudo - regime
香港人不要任何在偽政權包庇下進行的選舉，我們要的是真真正正由"一人一票"選出來的行政長官和所有立法會議員，這點絕不能退讓。
Elections conducted under the wings of a pseudo - regime is not what the Hong Kong people want . We want our Chief Executive and all Members of the Legislative Council to be returned by genuine elections conducted on a one person one vote basis . There is absolutely no compromise regarding this
這個選舉委員會將來會過渡成為提名委員會，當中大部分委員是由百多二百人選出來，他們大部分獲等額票數當選，正如人大一樣，如此垃圾的選舉方式，香港人怎能接受？
The Election Committee will transform into a nominating committee later . Most of its committee members have been elected by some 200 people and similar to the case of NPCSC a majority of them got equal numbers of votes . How are we supposed to accept such a trashy election method?
這等於告訴我們，你們要任何普選也可以，只有一個條件，便是誰人當選早有定案，即未選便已知"777""林鄭"會當選，又或未選便知道"689"梁振英會當選。
This is no different from telling us that whatever kinds of elections by universal suffrage we ask for will be granted but on one single condition namely the candidates to be elected isare predetermined . No wonder as in the case of 689 it was already known that 777 Carrie LAM would be elected before the election took place
如果是給我們這些選舉，請收回，我們不會要。
If this is what will be granted to us please take it back for we do not want it
香港人要的是根據《基本法》訂明的"一人一票"的選舉，包括由公民提名的雙普選，而且不用篩選，這是底線，不可退讓。
The Hong Kong people are asking for elections conducted on a one person one vote basis as stipulated in the Basic Law including the dual universal suffrage by civil nomination without screening . This is our bottom line and no compromise can be made for this
我希望所有議員為香港着想，支持我的議案。
Thus I do hope that all Members will support my motion for the very sake of Hong Kong
主席，我們談"港人港水"，一定會討論的問題是，究竟那些食水是否用得其所？
President when we talk about Hong Kong people Hong Kong water the issue we must discuss is whether the fresh water is being used properly
此外，東江水的水價一直上升，2007年是以24億9,400萬元購買8億2,000萬立方米的水，大約每立方米的水為3.04元，至2016年水價已增加至44億9,100萬元，每立方米的水約為5.48元，在10年間，東江水的水價漲了八成。
In 2007 2,494 million was spent on purchasing 820 million cu m of water which was about 3.04 per cubic metre of water . In 2016 the water costs increased to 4.491 million costing 5.48 per cubic metre of water . In the 10 - year period the cost of Dongjiang water has risen by 80 %
我們發現，在東江水的價格上，香港是深圳和東莞地區的3.3倍，這真的是很離奇，大家知道，國家經常表示為我們好，如為我們好，當然應一視同仁，已經不要說較為優惠的價格，只要求一視同仁便可，怎料香港支付的水價是深圳和東莞的3倍。
We find that in terms of the cost of Dongjiang water Hong Kong is paying 3.3 times of Shenzhen and Dongguans . This is very strange as we know that the State has always said that it is for our benefit . If so the same treatment should of course be extended to all
眾多水管漏出的水，每 年達13億5,000萬立方米。
Take the recent case as an example leakage of water from the various mains amounts to 1 350 million cu m each year
我們現在為了"統包總額"的協議，其實本港很多水塘的水需要排走。
For the sake of observing the package deal lump sum agreement now Hong Kong in fact has to discharge the water from many of our reservoirs
