司長亦以前瞻 性的視野，就發展多元經濟、開創發展機遇、重建香港競爭力，以及維持公共財政的長遠穩健性等事宜，提出策略性的方向和部署。
The Financial Secretary has also taken a forward - looking perspective and proposed strategic directions and strategies in respect of issues such as developing a diversified economy creating development opportunities rebuilding Hong Kongs competitiveness and maintaining the long - term stability of public finances
其中，"財爺"在預算案演辭中提到："我們或要考慮開拓新的收入來源或調整稅率"，我曾就此詢問當局，究竟政府目前正考慮從哪些方面開拓收入來源，是否包括極具爭議的銷售稅、有否考慮就加熱非燃燒煙草產品徵收稅項，以及會否增加博彩稅等。
The Financial Secretary has mentioned in the Budget speech that we may need to consider seeking new revenue sources or revising tax rates . In this connection I have asked the authorities the areas in which the Government is considering seeking new revenue sources whether the highly controversial general sales tax is included whether it has considered the levy of a tax on heat - not - burn tobacco products and whether the rate of betting duty will be raised
可惜，政府的答覆未如理想，只表明現階段對開拓新的收入來源及調整稅率持開放態度，但卻沒有具體方案。
Regrettably the Government has given an unsatisfactory reply only saying that at this stage it adopts an open attitude towards seeking new revenue sources and revising tax rates while failing to put forward a specific plan
我當然明白，制訂政府收入政策屬於財經事務及庫務局庫務科的職責，而最近該局換了新局長，我希望會有新人事、新作風，使局方能夠盡快研究政府在開源方面的新政策，亦可以給予業界一個新答案，不要再只說持開放態度。
I certainly understand that formulating the policy on government revenue falls within the remit of the Treasury Branch of the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau . Since the Bureau has a new Secretary recently I hope a new person and a new style will enable the Bureau to expeditiously study new government policies on generating revenue and give a new reply to the industry rather than merely saying that it adopts an open attitude
無論如何，我相信政府會堅守審慎理財的原則，確保公帑應使得使，用得其所。
Nevertheless I believe the Government will uphold the principle of managing public finances prudently and ensure the necessary and proper use of public money
當然，我亦會支持政府加緊探討開拓新收入來源的方案，包括把未來基金投資在較高回報的項目，或者粵港澳大灣區的項目等。
Certainly I will also support the Government to step up the study on plans for seeking new revenue sources including investing the Future Fund in projects with high returns or projects in the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area
主席，過去一年國際形勢變幻莫測，香港作為國家重要的金融中心，亦是面向國際的商業城市，又怎可能在當前世界的重大變局中置身事外呢？
President over the last year there have been unpredictable changes in the international situation . As Hong Kong is an important financial centre of our country and also a commercial city orientating towards the international community how can it be unaffected by major changes of the world these days?
面對內部和外部瞬息萬變的新形勢，特區政府一年一度的預算案應要妥善作出應對，既要防範風險，亦要有應對及化解風險和挑戰的高招，特別在"撐企業、保就業"方面必須加碼加急，任何振興經濟、紓解民困的措施都是不能等待及拖延的。
Faced with ever - changing internal and external circumstances the SAR Government should introduce proper corresponding measures in its annual Budgets . Not only must risks be prevented but wise strategies must also be introduced to cope with and overcome risks and challenges . Regarding supporting enterprises and safeguarding jobs in particular further measures must be introduced expeditiously and any measures for boosting the economy and relieving peoples burden warrant no waiting and delay
今年第一季剛剛結束，只須計算一下便顯然易見，在新型冠狀病毒疫情肆虐及全球金融危機的雙重打擊下，香港經濟正步入衰退，同時企業經營亦相當困難，失業率攀升至令人害怕的水平。
The first quarter of this year has just ended and we can easily see after a simple computation that under the double whammy of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus and a global financial crisis the Hong Kong economy is entering recession . At the same time businesses are facing great operating difficulties and the unemployment rate has risen to a frightening level
幸好特區政府過去一直秉持審慎理財的原則，確保香港財政穩健，積穀防飢亦累積了豐厚的財政盈餘。
Fortunately the SAR Government has long been adhered to the principle of managing public finances prudently to ensure the robust financial position of Hong Kong and we have also accumulated abundant fiscal reserves by saving for a rainy day
正如財政司司長在2月公布預算案時提到："香港現時的財政儲備約11,000億元，讓我們有能力在經濟逆境下推出特殊措施，例如發放現金。
As indicated by the Financial Secretary when delivering the Budget in February Our current fiscal reserves of about 1,100 billion enable us to roll out special measures amid the prevailing economic downturn such as paying out cash
"現時本港百業蕭條，不少中小型企業正面對資金鏈斷裂的問題，但政府從善如流，在防疫抗疫基金的第二輪措施中聽取了我們香港經濟民生聯盟的建議，把中小企融資擔保計劃下百分百擔保特惠貸款的總信貸保證承擔額增至500億元，每家企業的最高貸款額亦增至400萬元，而還息不還本安排的實施期則由6個月延長至12個月。
Nowadays all industries in Hong Kong are languishing and many small and medium enterprises SMEs are facing the problem of capital chain rupture but the Government is ready to accept good advice and accepted the proposal of the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong BPA by increasing the total guarantee commitment of the Special 100 % Loan Guarantee under the SME Financing Guarantee Scheme to HK50 billion increasing the maximum loan amount per enterprise to HK4 million and extending the effective period of the principal payment holiday arrangement from 6 months to 12 months
然而，救急如救火，我希望政府加快處理相關的審批程序，不要令業界望穿秋水。
However as helping someone to cope with an emergency is like quenching a fire I hope that the Government will expedite the vetting and approval process so that the industry will not have to wait for too long
與此同時， 政府亦應該呼籲銀行採取特事特辦的態度，與工商界及中小企同舟共濟，共渡時艱。
At the same time the Government should also urge banks to make special arrangements for special cases and stay with the industrial and commercial sectors and SMEs through thick and thin
此外，我想指出，即使預算案有各種寬減措施，但未必每間公司都能夠受惠，而且金額亦不算多。
In addition I would like to point out that despite the introduction of various concessionary measures in the Budget it is not sure whether every company can benefit and the amounts involved are not that large
政府推出貸款保證計劃，但正所謂"借錢梗要還"，可以提供的幫助始終有限。
The Government has introduced a loan guarantee scheme but as money borrowed must be repaid the help rendered is limited after all
現時對中小企最重要的就是現金流，社會上有聲音認為政府應該盡快撤銷樓市"辣招"，避免經濟大起大落。
Nowadays what is most important for SMEs is cash flow . There are voices in society that the Government should expeditiously revoke the harsh measures targeting the housing market so as to avoid upheavals in the economy
如果政府擔心全面撤銷"辣招"會影響市民，其實也可以考慮及討論對非住宅的工商物業"撤辣"的可行性，這將有助政府增加財政收入，亦有助工商界套現，有多一個自救的選擇。
If the Government is concerned about the impact of a full revocation of the harsh measures on the public it can actually consider and discuss the possibility of revoking harsh measures targeting industrial and commercial properties other than residential properties . This will help increase the revenue of the Government and make available another self - help option to the industrial and commercial sectors to cash out
主席，"財爺"在預算案中提到政府將會撥款予香港科技園公司，把一幢位於元朗工業邨的舊廠房改建為微電子中心，提供現代化的生產設備。
President the Financial Secretary has stated in the Budget that the Government will provide the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation with funding for converting an old factory in the Yuen Long Industrial Estate into a Microelectronics Centre to provide modern manufacturing facilities
不過，在再工業化方面，政府至今仍未有全面的政策藍圖。
In terms of re - industrialization however the Government has yet to devised a comprehensive policy blueprint
在此，我再次呼籲政府加快創新、科技及再工業化委員會的相關工作，除了創科產業外，亦要提高具備傳統但具競爭力及增值潛力的製造工業背景人士在委員會內的比例，強化決策諮詢、高層次統籌及協調機制的職能，以加強頂層設計和跨域協作。
I hereby urge the Government again to expedite the relevant work of the Committee on Innovation Technology and Re - industrialization . Apart from the innovation and technology industries it should also raise the representation of persons who have background in traditional manufacturing industries with a competitive edge and value - added potentials in the Committee and strengthen the functions of the policy - making consultation and high - level coordination mechanism so as to enhance the top - down design and cross - disciplinary collaboration
我亦希望預算案提出的20億元再工業化資助計劃可以早日落實，不要"只聞樓梯響"，從而為香港"工業再出發"注入新動力。
I also hope that the 2 billion Re - industrialization Funding Scheme proposed in the Budget can be implemented as soon as possible rather than being merely empty talk so as to inject new momentum to reboot the industries of Hong Kong
早前香港的口罩供應非常緊張，價格亦十分昂貴，一些廠商發揮敏銳的市場觸覺，走在政府前方，瞄準口罩生產的商機，引進自動化生產線，以及研發新型口罩。
Earlier the supply of masks in Hong Kong was very tight and their prices were also very expensive . Some manufacturers have manifested their market acumen walked ahead of the Government and set eyes on the business opportunity of mask production by introducing automated production lines and conducting research on new types of masks
坊間很多人認為生產口罩是一種極度低端的製造業，其實口罩亦可以是一種高端科研產品。
While many members of the community think that mask production is an extremely low - end manufacturing industry masks can actually be a type of high - end technology products
例如早前由政府撥款成立的香港紡織及成衣研發中心便成功研發了可重用口罩，並且在日內瓦國際發明展奪得獎項；香港納米及先進材料研發院有限公司亦有研發納米口罩，這些高透氣防護口罩能更有效隔絕細菌和病毒。
For example the government - funded Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel succeeded in developing reusable masks and won a prize at the International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva . The Nano and Advanced Materials Institute Limited has also developed nano masks and such breathable protective masks can filter bacteria and viruses more effectively
這些香港再工業化的最新例子，實在值得參考。
These latest cases of re - industrialization of Hong Kong are indeed worthy of our reference
再工業化對經濟前景十分重要，對財政收入更為重要，亦有助加強本港防疫抗疫的能力。
Re - industrialization is very important to our economic prospects and even more important to our fiscal revenue . It is also conducive to enhancing the anti - epidemic capability of Hong Kong
從內地的經驗來看，這是非常明顯的，因為只要建立了智能生產線，所有物資、設備便不假外求，只要一聲動員，就可以源源不絕地生產社會急需的醫護用品。
As evident from the experience of the Mainland as long as smart production lines are established all materials and equipment will not need to be purchased from outside . As soon as a mobilization order is issued medical supplies urgently needed by society can be incessantly produced
再看看本港的競爭對手新加坡，當地的製造業仍然佔GDP的兩成，工業化不單是為了經濟增長，更有助應付不時之需。
Let us take a look at Hong Kongs competitor Singapore . Its manufacturing industry still accounts for 20 % of its GDP . Apart from bringing about economic growth industrialization is also conducive to addressing unexpected needs
因此，無論政府還是業界，均應以這次口罩生產作為契機，全力 推動香港再工業化，加緊規劃生物科技、醫療保健等新興產業的布局，以增加香港企業和特區政府的財政收入。
For this reason both the Government and the industry should take the opportunity of mask production this time around to fully promote Hong Kongs re - industrialization and step up the planning of the layout of emerging industries such as biotechnology and health care so as to increase the fiscal revenue contributed by Hong Kong enterprises to the SAR Government
新冠病毒疫情影響全球，不單內地的工廠仍未能完全復工，即使是其他地區的物料供應，亦因運輸問題而未能如期抵達工廠，影響香港生產商的生計，亦直接影響市民繳稅的金額，以及香港的財政收入。
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus has affected the entire world . Not only have factories on the Mainland not fully resumed production but also supplies from other regions have not arrived at factories on time due to the problem of transportation . This has affected the livelihood of Hong Kong manufacturers and has a direct bearing on the amounts of taxes paid by the public and Hong Kongs fiscal revenue
有見及此，經民聯早前與"財爺"會面時亦曾指出，有些廠家已經斥資進行設計、生產了一些半製成品，但卻因為物料供應受阻或出貨時物流尚未完全恢復而被客戶cut order、取消訂單，甚至被追收款項，以致資金周轉出現極大困難。
In view of this BPA has pointed out when meeting with the Financial Secretary that some manufacturers have invested in designing and producing semi - finished products but because supplies have been hindered or logistics have yet to be fully resumed at the time of the delivery of goods customers have cut their orders or even taken action against the manufacturers for payment recovery and thus the manufacturers have encountered serious cash flow problems
香港與內地的經濟關係非常密切，特別是不少在內地擁有廠房的廠商，以及貿易和物流等相關行業，其業務運作和管理均大受影響。
Given the close economic ties between Hong Kong and the Mainland many manufacturers who have factories on the Mainland and related industries such as trade and logistics have particularly been adversely affected in terms of business operation and management
可惜的是，我們並未看到政府在預算案中對製造業提供針對性的支援。
Regrettably we did not see the provision of targeted support for the manufacturing industry by the Government in the Budget
我剛才提及的貸款等各項措施，也是"借錢梗要還"，我們知道政府已在這方面幫助我們，但直接向零售業或餐飲業提供8萬元、20萬元資助等措施，製造業卻完全無法受惠。
As regards the loan - related measures I mentioned just now my point is likewise money borrowed must be repaid . We know that the Government has assisted us in this regard but the manufacturing industry can by no means benefit from the subsidies of 80,000 or 200,000 provided directly for the retail industry or the catering industry
此外，很多業界人士向我反映，因為香港與內地均實施嚴格的檢疫隔離措施，令他們每次出入境後都要遵從14天隔離令，因而嚴重影響本港的商業活動。
In addition many members of the industry have relayed to me that since Hong Kong and the Mainland have both implemented very strict quarantine measures they must abide by a 14 - day quarantine order each time upon entering or leaving Hong Kong thus seriously affecting business activities in Hong Kong
我當然明白邊境管制和檢疫措施的出發點非常好，亦收到很好的效果，我們看到過去數天只有單位數字的確診個案，我對政府的防疫工作表示肯定。
I certainly understand that the border control and quarantine measures are well - intentioned and are very effective as we see that the number of confirmed cases in the past several days is only in the single digits . I appreciate the anti - epidemic work of the Government
不過，主席，我想指出的是，自從衞生署在2020年1月23日錄得首宗確診個案以來，截至2020年4月19日因為4月20日是"零確診"本港共錄得1,026宗確診個案，其中輸入個案有627宗，絕大部分病人有外遊紀錄，以及是返港的留學生。
However President I would like to point out that from 23 January 2020 when the Department of Health recorded the first confirmed case to 19 April 2020―there was no confirmed case on 20 April―Hong Kong recorded a total number of 1 026 confirmed cases of which 627 were imported cases and most patients had travel history and were overseas students who had returned to Hong Kong
為了加強我在這方面的論據，我翻查了很多政府紀錄，並且作出總結，發現由2月8日至今，由內地返港需要遵從家居隔離規定的人士當中，並無任何一人證實患上新冠肺炎。
In order to strengthen my argument in this regard I have looked through government records and made a summary . I have found out that since 8 February of those who have returned to Hong Kong from the Mainland and were subject to the home - quarantine requirement not a single person has been confirmed to have contracted the novel coronavirus pneumonia
我再次強調，這是由內地循陸路經深圳灣口岸回港人士的數字，沒有一人確診。
I stress again that this is the figure of people who have returned to Hong Kong from the Mainland through the Shenzhen Bay Checkpoint on land . Not a single person has been infected
口岸由2月至今共有8萬多人出入境，平均每天只有1,000多人，數字其實很少。
Since February some 80 000 people have entered Hong Kong through that checkpoint or an average of only some 1 000 people have done so each day which is a small figure
按此基礎，我呼籲政府立刻適量、有限度放寬企業主管和管理人員跨境通勤的檢疫要求，好讓香港廠家可以經營下去。
On this basis I urge the Government to immediately relax the quarantine requirement on the executives and management of enterprises who are cross - border commuters to a limited extent as appropriate so that Hong Kong manufacturers can continue with their operation
主席，很多同事評論預算案的時候，都喜歡說"善財難捨，冤枉甘心"。
President when commenting on the Budget many of my colleagues accuse the Government of being tight - fisted for benevolent causes but lavish on unworthy causes
從這一點來看，政府的做法絕對是值得肯定的。
The move made by the Government in this respect certainly deserves our recognition
可是，無論預算案也好，防疫抗疫基金也好，要做到十全十美，根本並不現實，始終會有所遺漏。
However be it the Budget or the Anti - epidemic Fund it is basically unrealistic for us to seek perfection as loopholes are bound to exist
即使遺漏亦不要緊，只要盡快修補、推出第三輪利民紓困措施，幫助一些尚未照顧到的行業便可，例如我剛才提及的製造業。
Even though there are loopholes it is not a matter of concern as long as they are plugged expeditiously by way of introducing the third round of relief measures to help those industries which have not been taken care of such as the manufacturing industry I just mentioned
如果同時加碼支援已獲得援助的個別行業，這樣就最好了。
It would be most desirable if further support measures could be provided for individual industries that have already received assistance
正如財政司司長在預算案演辭中提到，不管市民是甚麼背景、懷抱甚麼信念和理想，大家都十分珍惜和愛護香港。
As indicated by the Financial Secretary in the Budget Speech no matter what our backgrounds beliefs and aspirations are we all cherish and love Hong Kong
我希望司長可以努力connect社會各界，集思廣益，讓各行各業得以盡快返回正軌，一起共渡難關。
I hope that the Financial Secretary can strive to connect with various social sectors and draw on collective wisdom so as to enable all industries to expeditiously return to the right track and tide them over this difficult period
主席，我謹此陳辭，支持通過《2020年撥款條例草案》。
With these remarks President I support the passage of the Appropriation Bill 2020
主席，最近我的辦事處電話響個不停，每天也有很多市民來電。
President recently the telephone in my office keeps ringing . There are many calls from members of the public every day
他們以為捱到今年農曆新年，便可以起死回生，於是早前把物業抵押以支付租金，誰料又遇上疫情，現在怎麼辦呢？
Therefore earlier on they mortgaged their properties to pay the rent . Yet the epidemic came out of the blue . Now what can they do?
我希望政府官員留意，其實現在差不多每個香港家庭均已少了收入。
I hope the government officials will notice that currently almost every household in Hong Kong has got less income
很多家庭除了收入減少外，亦出現了很多摩擦，因為經常困在家裏，為錢銀、為失業、為不知如何交租、為不知下個月的學費可以從哪裏來、為如何供樓等，多了吵架，大傷和氣，很多人的情緒開始出現問題。
Apart from reduction in income lots of friction have emerged in many families because people are often stuck at home . They bicker more and hurt each others feelings over such questions as money unemployment how they can pay the rent where they can get money to pay the school fee next month how they can settle mortgage instalments for their properties so on and so forth . Many people start to have emotional problems
亦有人告訴我，他們曾患有抑鬱症，現在復發。
Some people also told me that they have suffered from depression before and now they have relapsed
未來會有6,000間至10,000間店鋪結業；在未來兩個月，旅遊業從業員會繼續沒有工作；飲食業告訴我們，未來可能會再有數百間食肆結業，可能會有更多從業員失去工作，失業率會進一步上升，現在已是4.2%，未來再不斷攀升，我們的經濟會面對很大困境。
In the next two months practitioners in the tourism industry will remain out of work . The catering industry told us that several hundred more restaurants may fold in the future . More practitioners may become jobless leading to a further increase in the unemployment rate
我們已多次指出，若60歲至64歲的長者可享有2元乘車優惠，便能幫助到很多市民，羅致光局長卻說要待至明年，真的等到"蚊瞓"。
We have pointed out many times that if elderly people aged 60 to 64 can enjoy the 2 fare concession it can help many members of the public . But Secretary Dr LAW Chi - kwong said it has to wait until next year
現在既然已有長者八達通，為何不可以使用呢？
What a prolonged wait! . Now that the Elder Octopus Card is available why can it not be used?
他們只懂得罵政府，再不便是罵警察，覺得自己全對。
They would only slam the Government or the Police considering themselves perfectly right
他們忘記自去年6月起，他們縱容暴力行為，縱容黑衣人破壞香港店鋪、堵塞道路，令店鋪無法營業，市民不敢上街消費，趕走了所有遊客，今天香港才會這麼淒慘，中小企才會無法支撐下去。
They forgot that since June last year they have condoned violence and connived at black - clad peoples vandalism of shops and road blockades in Hong Kong . Consequently shops cannot do business . Members of the public dare not go out to spend money
他們還說，警隊無需再增加人手，無需再購買裝備，因為警察有問題。
They added that the Police need not increase manpower or buy more equipment because they are at fault
為何他們卻不提及那些破壞店鋪、"私了"市民、在11月13日用磚頭擲死"羅伯"，以及在11月11日於馬鞍山縱火燒傷"李伯"的那些人有問題呢？
Why did they not mention that those people who vandalized shops launched vigilante attacks on members of the public killed an old man Mr LUO by hurling bricks at him on 13 November and injured another old man Mr LEE in Ma On Shan by setting fire on him on 11 November have problems?
這些他們全部沒有提及，他們認為警察才有問題，暴徒完全沒有問題。
They made no mention of these at all . They opine that only the Police have problems whereas rioters absolutely have no problem
是本土恐怖主義興起。
It means the emergence of local terrorism
要保護香港市民生命財產安全，靠的是誰呢？
To protect the lives and properties of the people of Hong Kong on whom do we rely if not our Police?
如果他們沒有更多裝備和人手，又如何保護香港市民呢？
If they do not have more equipment and manpower how can they protect the people of Hong Kong?
他們說因為不支持警察增加人手和裝備，所以要反對預算案，但他們剛才不是說要為市民爭取更多支援嗎？
They said that since they do not support any increase in manpower and equipment for the Police they will oppose the Budget . But did they not say just now that they fight for more support for the people?
不是說要政府盡快派發1萬元嗎？
Did they not say that they want the Government to pay out 10,000 as soon as possible?
現在卻反對預算案，說一套做一套，極度虛偽。
But now they oppose the Budget . Saying one thing and doing another they are extremely hypocritical
主席，反對派、"攬炒派"議員每次發言時也站在道德高地，口講公平正義，其實是利用香港市民和青年人的正義感。
President every time Members of the opposition and mutual destruction camp speak they would stand on high moral grounds . Chanting fairness and justice they are in fact exploiting the sense of justice of members of the public and young people in Hong Kong
他說暴力可以解決問題；楊岳橋議員說了甚麼呢？
He said violence can resolve problems . What did Alvin YEUNG say?
他說有案底會令人生更精彩。
He said a criminal record can make ones life more wonderful
毛孟靜議員說會有更美好的香港。
Ms Claudia MO said there will be a better Hong Kong
"35+"等於"攬炒"香港，令香港變為廢墟，成為一個斷了氣、無法救回的香港，這便叫做更美好的香港。
35 means mutual destruction in Hong Kong turning Hong Kong into a dead irreparable city in ruins . This is so - called a better Hong Kong
主席，最可悲的是甚麼呢？
President what is the most saddening?
最可悲的是有人相信他們，故此出來當勇武、出來犯法、出來"攬炒"香港。
The most saddening is that some people do believe them . Thus they have come out to be the valiant break the law and burn together with Hong Kong
為了爭取自由、民主、公義，連人性也不要。
To strive for freedom democracy and justice they would even discard humanity
他們放棄了做人最重要的甚麼呢？
What is the most important thing they have given up in their lives?
就是放棄了自己的前途，放棄了最珍貴的家人、家庭，連這些也放棄了，他們被洗腦洗得多厲害。
They have abandoned their own future and relinquish their most invaluable family members and families . They have gone so far as to give up these things . How seriously they have been brainwashed!
這群泛民反對派、"攬炒派"把市民欺騙得很徹底，為了爭取選票，放棄了良知，說出及做出傷天害理之事，損害了我們原本很美好的香港，亦傷害了我們一整代的青年人。
This bunch of pan - democrats in the opposition and mutual destruction camp have thoroughly deceived members of the public . To secure votes they have abandoned their conscience . Being immoral in words and deeds they have ruined Hong Kong which should have had very bright prospects and done harm to our entire generation of young people
我今天很想他們聽清楚雖然現在只剩下尹兆堅議員一人在席香港市民大眾的訴求很清晰，我們只想在本來很自由、美好的香港安居樂業，能夠有工作、有安樂茶飯，以及有免於恐懼的自由，在 街上不用擔心哪裏會有黑衣人，亦可以繼續為自己的小生意奮鬥。
Today I very much hope that they will listen carefully―though only Mr Andrew WAN is present now―the aspirations of the masses in Hong Kong are quite clear . We just wish to live in peace and work with contentment in Hong Kong which used to be free with bright prospects . We wish to have a job lead a contented life and enjoy freedom from fear
我們的要求很簡單，並非他們所說的甚麼訴求，因為真正愛香港的人不會"攬炒"香港，亦不會要求其他人"攬炒"香港，香港亦不用他們"攬炒"，因為我們根本不認同這一套。
Our request is very simple . It is not that kind of demands mentioned by them because people who truly love Hong Kong will not seek mutual destruction in Hong Kong . Neither will they ask other people to do so
"攬炒"後，事情是無法挽回的，他們根本沒有本事，只是想着議席。
After mutual destruction the situation will be irreparable . In fact they do not have such capability . They are just obsessed with the seats in the Council
可能是為了美國和歐洲吧？
Perhaps something from the United States and Europe?
所以，真正愛香港的市民，請在5月2日前呼籲身邊所有愛香港的親友登記做選民，並記得要在9月6日留在香港投票，我們要用一人兩票，拒絕"攬炒"。
Hence will people who truly love Hong Kong please call on all relatives and friends who cherish this place to register as electors before 2 May and remember to stay in Hong Kong to vote on 6 September . We should each use our two votes to refuse mutual destruction
主席，受去年反修例示威和今年新冠肺炎疫情影響，香港經濟重創，市民生活艱苦。
President due to the demonstrations arising from the opposition to the proposed legislative amendments last year and the outbreak of the novel coronavirus this year the Hong Kong economy has been badly hurt and people are living a hard life
我們現時討論的財政預算案是急市民所急，解決他們面對的困局。
The Budget we are now discussing is to address peoples pressing needs and the difficulty they faced
除了今年的開支特別多外，政府亦向每位市民派發1萬元，希望應對他們在水深火熱中的需要，我們對此表示支持，亦希望預算案能盡快通過，政府盡快予以落實，讓市民盡快受惠。
Apart from the exceptionally large amount of expenditure this year the Government will also hand out 10,000 cash to each member of the public with the hope of addressing the needs of people who are in misery . We would like to render our support in this regard . We also hope that the Budget can be passed as soon as possible and the measures proposed can be implemented by the Government and benefit members of the public as soon as possible
