若今天我們真的想要把握大灣區的機遇、真的希望廣大市民能安居樂業，行政長官及特區官員必須採取新思維，並且要具備充分承擔和魄力，來突破多年來堪稱是走一步退兩步的困局。
If today we really want to capitalize on the opportunities brought by the Greater Bay Area development and enable the general public to live in peace and work with contentment the Chief Executive and SAR officials must adopt new thinking and remain fully committed and resolute to break the persistent quagmire that can be regarded to be one step forward and two steps backward
事實上，今年施政報告在土地政策方面並不乏大膽的新思維，包括調撥更多土地作公營房屋發展，以及檢視長遠的公私營房屋比例等。
In fact the Policy Address this year is not lacking in bold and new thinking in terms of the land policy including allocating more land sites to development of public housing and reviewing the publicprivate split of long - term housing supply
這些均與我向行政長官提出的建議相符。
These are consistent with the recommendations I made to the Chief Executive
施政報告其他相關措施，例如重啟活化工廈計劃以增加過渡性房屋供應、撥地協助香港房屋協會重建舊屋邨，以及邀請市區重建局研究重建公務員合作社地段等，均顯示政府多番思量以求突破過往的官僚框框，值得市民給予肯定。
Other relevant measures presented in the Policy Address such as reactivating the revitalization scheme for industrial buildings to increase the supply of transitional housing allocating land to the Hong Kong Housing Society for redevelopment of aged PRH estates and inviting the Urban Renewal Authority to conduct a study on the redevelopment of sites under the Civil Servants Co - operative Building Society Scheme all indicate the considerable deliberation the Government has made to break away from the previous bureaucratic confine which is worthy of peoples recognition
至於最受萬眾矚目、土地政策的重中之重，便要數本港歷來最大規模的造地填海計劃"明日大嶼願景"。
As regards the most attention drawing centrepiece of the land policy it must be the Lantau Tomorrow Vision―the land production and reclamation project of the largest scale ever in the history of Hong Kong
代理主席，我很重視政府要用新思維來解決土地短缺問題。
Deputy President I attach great importance to the Governments effort at adopting new thinking to solve the problem of land shortage
然而，今天我想在這個會議廳內補充一點：要解決土地問題，單靠政府有大膽新思維並不足夠，還要整體社會抱持開放態度、廣闊胸襟和大局意識才能成事。
However today in the Chamber I wish to add one point to solve the land problem the Governments bold and new thinking alone does not suffice; society in general must embrace a liberal attitude an open mind and an awareness of the overall situation to strike success
要是社會大眾不花時間釐清事實，而只是隨便跟隨一些口號式或立場先行的所謂反對理由起舞，任由固有思維與猜疑綁住雙手，恐怕結果只會是整體社會繼續陷入過往多年的困局和深淵，在爭論聲中寸步難行。
Should society and the public not spend the time on sorting out the truth but only randomly follow the tones of some slogan - like or stances - come - first reasons for opposition and willingly let their hands be tied by the old mindset and distrust I am afraid the outcome will only be the entire society continuing to be ensnared in the quagmire and abyss which have persisted for years failing to make even a small step forward amid much bickering
代理主席，令人擔心的是，目前恰恰就出現這種趨勢。
Deputy President it is worrisome that such a tendency is taking shape right now
正當"明日大嶼願景"受到多方好評，有個別人士和團體卻不斷就此提出激烈反對，想方設法製造群眾恐慌，以期向本會施加壓力，連政府尚未提出的前期研究撥款申請亦想要抵制和否決，明顯想將整個計劃消滅於萌芽階段，讓社會想想也不能。
As the Lantau Tomorrow Vision has received widespread compliment some individuals and organizations have been ceaselessly mounting strong opposition trying to employ every means possible to create public fear with a view to putting pressure on the Council . They even wish to turn down and negative the funding application for the preliminary study the Government has not yet proposed in an apparent attempt to nip the entire plan in the bud so that society cannot even think about it
這種情況確實令不少市民感到非常無奈和憤慨。
Such a situation indeed makes many people feel very helpless and enraged
代理主席，我認為"明日大嶼願景"絕對應該成為社會關注和討論的焦點，但原因並非是很多市民對其有誤解和猜疑並作出批評和攻擊，而是因為這個願景本身對香港未來發展具有戰略性意義，而每一個香港人、每一代香港人都可以受惠。
Deputy President I consider that the Lantau Tomorrow Vision should absolutely become the focus of attention and discussion in society not because many people have misunderstandings and doubts about it and so have made criticisms and attacks of it but because the Vision carries strategic value for the future development of Hong Kong to the benefit of every Hongkonger and every generation of Hongkongers
其實大家只要站得夠高、望得夠遠，便會知道"明日大嶼"的意念，事實上是立足於新時代的需要，從區域發展大局着眼。
Actually we need only raise and broaden our vision to realize that the concept of Lantau Tomorrow is founded on the needs of the new era and positioned from the perspective of the overall regional development
正當今天大家都在熱烈探討香港要如何借助粵港澳大灣區讓發展再上台階，"明日大嶼願景"不單能有效解決本地土地不足的問題，更可以為香港在粵港澳大灣區的發展提供很理想和適切的據點，同時一併理順本港經濟、社會、民生等多方面的發展，為香港再上台階進一步打好基礎。
As everyone is fervently exploring how Hong Kong can leverage on the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area to scale new heights the Lantau Tomorrow Vision will not only provide an effective solution to the local land shortage problem but also serve as a most desirable and appropriate stronghold for Hong Kongs development in the Greater Bay Area . At the same time it can rationalize our development in various aspects such as economy society and livelihood further laying a good foundation for Hong Kong to rise to the next pedestal
代理主席，目前粵港澳大灣區仍然處於起始階段，三地政府均努力進行各種建設以求打通大灣區的經濟脈絡。
Deputy President as the development of the Greater Bay Area is still at its initial stage currently the governments of the three cities are all sparing no effort in implementing various infrastructure projects with a view to building the economic network to tap the Greater Bay Area
繼廣深港高速鐵路後，剛開通的港珠澳大橋進一步啟動整個大灣區的高速交通網，令本港接上珠江西岸的快速連接通道，便利通達粵西地區的加工製造業腹地。
Subsequent to the Guangdong - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge HZMB which has just been commissioned has further activated the high speed transport network of the entire Greater Bay Area connecting Hong Kong to the express link passage in Pearl River East and providing easy access to the hinterland of the processing industry in West Guangdong area
此外，港珠澳大橋可作為走廊，促成香港東大嶼核心圈、澳門新城區核心圈、珠海橫琴灣核心圈等多區域協同發展的新時代。
In addition as a corridor HZMB will usher in a new era for the synergized development of nearby regions including an East Lantau core zone the Macau New Urban Zone and a Zhuhai Hengqin core zone
港珠澳大橋同時是面向東南亞國家聯盟的海陸國際大通道，足以成為"一帶一路"的重要戰略樞紐據點。
HZMB is at the same time an international land and sea passage facing countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations adequately offering itself as an important strategic hub and stronghold for the Belt and Road Initiative
代理主席，"明日大嶼願景"的所在地，就是處於如此的戰略性位置。
Deputy President the location of the Lantau Tomorrow Vision is at such a strategic spot
港珠澳大橋香港口岸坐落在香港大嶼山，毗鄰5小時飛行航程範圍已涵蓋全球一半人口的香港國際機場，令大嶼山成為通往世界和粵港澳大灣區的"雙門戶"，完全應對了香港"背靠祖國、面向世界"的一貫優勢。
The HZMB Hong Kong Port is situated on Lantau Island Hong Kong adjacent to the Hong Kong International Airport that is within five hours flying time of half of the worlds population making Lantau Island the Double Gateway towards the world and the Greater Bay Area completely in keeping with Hong Kongs long - standing advantage of facing the world and leveraging on the Motherland
代理主席，在粵港澳大灣區中，香港還要進一步鞏固國際金融、航運及貿易三大中心的地位、發展成為國際創新科技中心，以及建設亞太區國際法律及解決爭議服務中心。
Deputy President in the Greater Bay Area Hong Kong still needs to further consolidate our status as the international financial trade and maritime centres develop into an international innovation and technology centre and establish ourselves as a centre for international legal and dispute resolution services in the Asia - Pacific Region
就此，不同工商界別、中小企業及青年人現時都躍躍欲試。
To this end various industrial and commercial sectors SMEs and young people are all anxious to try their chances
然而，在目前缺地的情況下，我們怎樣能夠找到更多土地讓各行各業擴充業務、讓年青朋友創業和尋求發展呢？
Nonetheless given the current land shortage how can we find more land for various trades and industries to expand their business and operation and for young people to start their own businesses and seek development?
根據政府的構想，單是交椅洲的1,000公頃人工島已經可以建成超過4,000萬平方呎的商業樓面，差不多等同另一個中環。
According to the Governments vision the 1 000 - hectare artificial island on Kau Yi Chau alone can already provide over 40 million sq ft of commercial floor space almost equal to another Central
這個核心 新商業區更可以透過新建道路及鐵路等交通網絡，與傳統的中區核心商業區連接，並同時與集高增值物流及展覽商貿服務於一身的大嶼山"機場城市"協同發展，這種優勢是不言而喻的。
Such a new CBD via transport networks such as newly built roads and railways can connect with the conventional CBD in Central while synergizing with Lantau Island the airport city that embodies high value - added logistics and exhibition and trading services . It is a self - evident advantage
與此同時，"明日大嶼願景"還可以實現政府多年來的規劃構想，釋放大嶼山的發展潛力，讓其成為生態康樂及休閒娛樂熱點。
Meanwhile the Lantau Tomorrow Vision can also materialize the long - standing planning and vision of the Government to unleash the development potential of Lantau Island so that it can become a hotspot for ecotourism recreation leisure and entertainment
據政府的初步估計，"明日大嶼願景"共可提供34萬個職位，單是第三個核心商業區所在的交椅洲人工島便可以提供20萬個高增值職位。
As per the initial estimation by the Government the Lantau Tomorrow Vision can create 340 000 jobs in total . The project of the artificial island on Kau Yi Chau where the third CBD will be located alone can provide 200 000 high value - added jobs
多年來，社會敦促政府實現香港經濟多元化，創造更多中上層職位，加強社會向上流的動力，而"明日大嶼願景"便是實現有關目標的其中一個路線圖，可以為工商各界和年青人帶來前景和希望，毋庸置疑是值得支持的。
Over the years society has been urging the Government to achieve economic diversification and create more middle - to - top tier jobs in Hong Kong so as to enhance upward social mobility . The Lantau Tomorrow Vision is exactly one of the roadmaps to realize such goals offering prospects and hopes to various industrial and commercial sectors and young people and thus undoubtedly worthy of our support
同樣重要的是，"明日大嶼願景"將會提供大量土地解決房屋荒，不論是基層、中產或年輕專業人士均可以受惠。
It is equally important that the Lantau Tomorrow Vision will supply large expanses of land to solve the housing shortage benefiting the grass roots the middle class and young professionals alike
按當局的構想，"明日大嶼願景"會由2032年起分階段增加供應26萬至40萬個住宅單位，供70萬至100萬人居住。
The authorities envisage that from 2032 onwards the Lantau Tomorrow Vision will supply in phases 260 000 to 400 000 residential units housing a population of 700 000 to 1 000 000
當中政府承諾提供可負擔的公營房屋，本港八至九成家庭均合資格申請。
Among them the Government has undertaken to provide affordable public housing for which 80 % to 90 % of local households are eligible to apply
按照公私營房屋7：3的比例，餘下的房屋用地亦可提供優質居住環境，增加中產人士"上車"或換樓的選擇，並加強吸引外地精英來港發展的誘因。
Given the publicprivate split of public housing of 7col3 the remaining land for housing can also be used to provide a quality living environment to increase the home ownership or property replacement options for the middle class and enhance the incentives that attract overseas elites to Hong Kong
紓解房屋荒後的正面影響亦可望逐漸延伸至全港，讓樓市慢慢回復較健康的發展，市民改變居住環境的能力因而隨之加強。
After the housing shortage is alleviated the positive effects will hopefully spread across Hong Kong so that healthier development of the property market will resume thereby empowering people to change their living environment
當基層房屋供應充足，惡劣的"劏房"居所亦會隨之被淘汰。
Given the ample supply of housing for the grass roots subdivided units of poor conditions will then be eliminated
當"買得起、供得起"的樓宇供應充足，市民的"上樓夢"、"宜居夢"便有望實現。
When there is an abundant supply of affordable properties people can realize their dreams of home ownership and better living
此外，"明日大嶼願景"提供了理順本港交通基建、改善城市暢通接達及紓緩現時新界西結構性交通擠塞的契機。
In addition the Lantau Tomorrow Vision presents the opportunity for Hong Kong to rationalize its transport infrastructure improve urban accessibility and relieve the existing structural traffic congestion in New Territories West
交椅洲人工島距離中環核心商業區只有10公里，當高速公路和鐵路接駁完成後，往來車程只需10分鐘。
The artificial island on Kau Yi Chau is only 10 km from the CBD in Central and after the completion of expressway and railway connections a journey between the two districts will only take 10 minutes
大家可以想象，屆時由港島至大嶼山新核心商業區，然後接連到港珠澳大橋、珠海、澳門、南沙等珠江西岸的地點以至整個大灣區，均是一氣呵成的幹道。
Come to imagine that by then there will be an uninterrupted trunk road from Hong Kong Island to the new CBD on Lantau Island connecting to HZMB and then areas in Pearl River West such as Zhuhai Macao and Nansha and even the Greater Bay Area as a whole
"明日大嶼願景"還包括興建道路及鐵路基建，連接欣澳及屯門南，並接通整個西鐵系統，能夠扭轉在元朗乘坐西鐵線的人流方向，令新界西連接市區的交通擠塞得以紓緩。
The Lantau Tomorrow Vision also encompasses construction of road and railway infrastructure which will connect with Sunny Bay and South Tuen Mun and link to the entire West Rail Line system . It can thus reverse the pedestrian flow of the West Rail Line at Yuen Long Station relieving the congestion of traffic between New Territories West and urban areas
當局亦表明，沒有交椅洲填海計劃，就不會計劃這些路線，因為基建是按需要才上馬的。
The authorities have stated that without the reclamation project on Kau Yi Chau such roads will not be planned because infrastructure is planned and constructed on a need basis
凡此種種都有助提升本港經濟效益，值得支持。
All of these are conducive to enhancing the economic benefits of Hong Kong and so merit our support
再者，"明日大嶼願景"提供了促進低碳經濟和社會可持續發展的契機。
Furthermore the Lantau Tomorrow Vision creates the opportunity conducive to the development of low - carbon economy and a sustainable society
代理主席，雖然政府銳意發展環保智慧城市，但步伐一直非常緩慢，其中一個原因是既有的城市設計、基建和制度未能配合。
Deputy President despite the Governments determination to develop an environmentally - friendly and smart city the progress has been extremely slow one of the reasons for which being the incompatibility of established urban design infrastructure and systems
按照政府的設計，由全新的人工島開始整全的城市規劃，廣泛採用再生能 源、高能源效益科技及環保交通運輸模式，達致"碳中和"及"碳零排放"。
According to the Governments design starting from holistic urban planning the brand new artificial island will adopt general use of renewable energy highly energy efficient technologies and an eco - friendly mode of transport with a view to achieving carbon neutrality and zero carbon footprint
這樣一個大規模試點，對於香港而言是非常前衞，亦值得支持，而將來成功實踐後亦可把有關經驗適切地推廣到其他地區。
Such a large - scale testing ground is very progressive in the context of Hong Kong and also worthy of our support . With success achieved in the future the relevant experience can be applied to other areas appropriately
代理主席，既然"明日大嶼願景"有這麼重大的意義，現在大家應該關注的是對這個構想進行周詳的研究，確保政府這些願景真正可行，並惠及市民。
Deputy President in view of the profound and significance of the Lantau Tomorrow Vision now we ought to concern ourselves with the detailed study of this idea to ensure such a vision of the Government is truly feasible and beneficial to the people
同時，政府須仔細規劃各項細節，包括：融資方式；新核心商業區的布置如何更有利中小企掌握大灣區的新機遇；人工島的公私營房屋分布詳情；當中公營房屋的種類和單位數目；以及在工程中採用甚麼先進科技及規劃以適切保護周遭的生態環境。
At the same time the Government must meticulously plan all details including the financing arrangements how the layout of the new CBD can better facilitate SMEs in capitalizing on the new opportunities brought by the Greater Bay Area development the detailed distribution of public and private housing on the artificial island the types and number of public housing units and what advanced technology and planning will be adopted in the construction works to afford appropriate protection to the ecological environment in the vicinity
此外，在耗時二三十年、跨越多屆政府的漫長工程期內，在任政府亦應完善落實已制訂的執行路線圖，做好風險管理，並實行所需的配套政策或設施，以達致願景的各項目標。
Besides in the protracted construction period spanning 20 to 30 years and across several terms of Government the incumbent Government should properly take forward the implementation roadmap as formulated carry out proper risk management and implement the necessary ancillary policies or measures so as to achieve various goals of the Vision
然而，正如我剛才所指，個別人士及團體似乎並不特別關心前述"明日大嶼願景"的好處，只是集中提出很多不同的關注。
However as I have just pointed out some individuals and organizations seem to have not particularly paid attention to the aforementioned merits of the Lantau Tomorrow Vision but only focused on voicing different concerns
就此，政府當局及一些學者專家先後作出了針對性的回應和解說，我在此不詳細重複。
In this connection the Government and some scholars and experts have one after another made targeted responses and explanations which I will not repeat in detail here
不過，我想提醒市民，他們應要保持清醒的頭腦，多作獨立思考，分辨清楚當中哪些是真正值得認真看待的關注，哪些只是發言者自說自話。
Nevertheless I wish to remind people that they ought to keep a clear mind and engage in more independent thinking to distinguish concerns that truly worth their serious consideration from those that are just some monologues uttered by the speakers
政府已經表明"明日大嶼願景"具有彈性，而且會按需要分階段推行，以十多二十年攤分，每年開支為數百億元，根本是政府每年基建開支預算之內，香港有能力應付。
The Government has already made it clear that the Lantau Tomorrow Vision carries flexibility and will be implemented in phases as per need . The cost will be spread over 10 to 20 years and the annual expenditure will be a dozen billion dollars totally within the annual government infrastructure budget which Hong Kong can afford
再者，不少業界領袖和學者均估計"明日大嶼願景"單靠賣地已足以支付工程開支有餘，當中尚未計及人工島衍生的就業機會與其他經濟效益。
Moreover a number of leaders of various industries and scholars have estimated that revenue from land sale alone can more than enough meet the construction costs of the Lantau Tomorrow Vision not taking into account the job opportunities and other economic benefits generated by the artificial island
然而，有反對者仍然不斷宣傳"明日大嶼願景"規模過大、淘空庫房。
However some opponents still continue to advertise that the Lantau Tomorrow Vision with its lavish scale will empty the coffers
過往經驗已經證明，與發展棕地相比，興建人工島更簡單，而且更快能落實。
Past experience already bears testimony to the fact that compared to development of brownfield sites construction of artificial islands is far simpler and quicker to implement
發展棕地實在說易行難，常常惹來很多爭議，由公眾諮詢、改劃土地用途至收地、清拆、賠償、安置等各個程度均極為費時。
Development of brownfield sites is indeed easier said than done often sparking off considerable controversies . Various procedures ranging from public consultation rezoning of land use land resumption clearance compensation to rehousing are rather time - consuming
社會討論了10多年的新界東北發展，幾經艱難終在立法會獲得通過，但至今仍未正式展開收地程序，更談不上展開工程，但有反對者仍然不斷提出應該先開發棕地。
The North East New Territories development which had been under discussion for over 10 years in society was finally approved in the Legislative Council against all odds . Yet to date the land resumption procedure has not yet commenced let alone the construction works but some opponents have persistently proposed that brownfield sites be developed first
代理主席，他們用心何在？
Deputy President what is their intention?
當然，這些反對者不會告訴公眾，除非強行收地，否則要發展棕地，政府本身先要有基本的土地儲備，才有足夠議價能力收回棕地這些私人土地。
Of course such opponents will not tell the public that unless forcible land resumption be performed to develop brownfield sites the Government must first have sufficient land reserve so that it has strong enough bargaining power to recover such privately - owned brownfield sites
若非如此，只會被人牽着鼻子走，失去主導權，屆時發展棕地只會難上加難，絕非單憑"先用棕地"這句簡單口號就可以推行。
If not the Government will only be led by the nose and lose its initiative . Then it will only be more difficult to execute the development of brownfield sites which cannot be achieved solely by chanting the simple slogan brownfield sites first
此外，有反對者不斷宣傳"明日大嶼願景""破壞生態"、"逆天而行"。
Moreover some opponents have continually promoted the message that the Lantau Tomorrow Vision destroys the ecological environment and is an perverse act
他們此舉無視赤鱲角機場1,000公頃人工島等重大基建的成功顯示當局過往已有能力做好此類重大工程。
Their actions disregard the fact that the successes of major infrastructure projects such as the 1 000 - hectare artificial island of the airport in Chek Lap Kok have demonstrated the competence of the authorities in delivering such sizeable projects in the past
當局承諾在氣候變化下，會就"明日大嶼願景"妥善進行風險管理及科學專業評估，並把對生態環境的影響控制在可接受且最低的水平。
In view of climate change the authorities have undertaken that with regard to the Lantau Tomorrow Vision proper risk management and scientific and technical assessments will be carried out and the impact on the ecological environment will be contained at the acceptable and the lowest levels
有關的公眾宣傳亦應簡潔易明，方便市民大眾掌握。
The relevant publicity and promotion should also be simple and easy to understand for the sake of public understanding
爭拗矛盾素來較受公眾關注，傳媒自然亦會多加報道，於是某些論據就容易被放大或偏重。
Disputes and conflicts always attract more public attention and naturally receive more media coverage thus some arguments are prone to being exaggerated or highlighted
但是，代理主席，我認為真理是越辯越明的，最重要的是大家從科學和理性的角度去看這個計劃。
However Deputy President I hold that the more truth is debated the clearer it becomes . The most important thing is we can look at this programme from a scientific and rational perspective
放眼全球，不少地方會基於本身發展的需要而選擇興建人工島，有關的成功經驗均可堪借鑒。
In the global context many places out of their own developmental needs have chosen to build artificial islands and their experiences of success can be good reference for us
在香港，填海造地一直以來是重要的土地供應來源，累積共約7,000公頃土地是透過填海取得的，佔已發展的土地面積四分之一，容納了七成商業活動及近三成人口，以及香港國際機場和西九龍文化區。
In Hong Kong land production by reclamation has all along been an important source of land supply . Approximately 7 000 hectares of land in total has been acquired accumulatively through reclamation accounting for one fourth of our developed land area and accommodating 70 % of our commercial activities and close to 30 % of the population the Hong Kong International Airport and the West Kowloon Cultural District
今天，香港特區政府出於人口住屋和經濟發展需要而提出人工島計劃。
Today the HKSAR Government has proposed an artificial island project out of the need for housing and economic development
任何人都可以搞破壞，但無論如何，我也願意聆聽。
Anyone can engage in sabotage but at any rate I am willing to lend them my ear
如果今天有人因為反對"明日大嶼願景"而反對施政報告，請反對者提出足以解決我剛才提及的短中長期土地短缺問題的替代方案，以供考慮。
If today some people oppose the Policy Address because they oppose the Lantau Tomorrow Vision will such opponents please offer an alternative proposal that would adequately solve the land shortage problem I have just mentioned in the short medium and long terms for our consideration
如果反對者想完全扼殺"明日大嶼願景"落實的機會，無論理由為何，實際上是扼殺現時屈居在"劏房"狹小床位的基層市民的希望、扼殺想擁有書桌溫習的基層兒童的希望、扼殺中產人士圓"上樓夢"的希望、扼殺年青人向上流的希望、扼殺香港實現經濟多元化及把握大灣區機遇的希望。
If the opponents wish to completely ruin the chance for the implementation of the Lantau Tomorrow Vision regardless of their reasons they are in effect shattering the hopes of the grass roots who are now merely dwelling in narrow bedspaces in subdivided units the hopes of children who yearn to have a desk for revision the hopes of the middle class who long for home ownership the hopes of young people who desire upward mobility and the hopes of Hong Kong to accomplish economic diversification and capitalize on the opportunities brought by the Greater Bay Area development
代理主席，"明日大嶼願景"帶給香港人真確的好處，雖然不能說是實現港人希望的唯一途徑，卻是一個高效、適切、可行的途徑。
Deputy President the Lantau Tomorrow Vision will bring Hongkongers bona fide advantages . It cannot be regarded as the only means to realize the hopes of Hongkongers but it is a highly effective appropriate and practicable means
代理主席，對於"明日大嶼願景"，我們應該考慮重大公眾利益、考慮我們的下一代、考慮香港的將來。
Deputy President as regards the Lantau Tomorrow Vision we should consider significant public interests our next generations and the future of Hong Kong
最後，我支持內務委員會主席提出的議案。
In conclusion I support the motion proposed by the Chairman of the House Committee
主席，反對派的世界只有困難和危機，沒有機會和希望。
President in the world of the opposition camp there are only difficulties and crises but no opportunities and hopes . Their so - called alternatives which have been implemented for more than 10 years have taken us to nowhere but a dead alley
反對派提出的所謂替代方案推行了10多年，結果全是死路一條，但他們要我們繼續碰壁，碰了10多年也不夠，還要多碰10多年，千萬不要提出新思維、新方法。
However they still ask us to go down such a route to run into trouble . It has not been enough having run into troubles for more than 10 years . They ask us not to be innovative and not to think up anything new
如果我們讓反對派牽着走，結果肯定是原地踏步，一事無成。
If we were to be led by the nose by the opposition camp we would be marking time not making any achievement at all
我現在想討論關於財經的部分。
Let me focus on the part of finance now
今次施政報告以"堅定前行燃點希望"為主題，行政長官解釋現在是時候"議而有決、決而有行"。
The latest Policy Address is entitled Striving Ahead Rekindling Hope . The Chief Executive explained that it is time for the Government to deliberate then determine and then act
如果我們再蹉跎歲月即反對派最喜歡做的事受苦的會是居於擠迫和惡劣環境的家庭及基層勞工。
If we keep on wasting time which is something the opposition camp likes to do those households and grass - roots workers living in the crowded and poor environment will have to suffer further
我認為這種分析一語中的，說中香港目前情況的根源，即"說了當做了"、"困難當答案"，然後便說甚麼也不要做、甚麼也有危機，再指責政府做得不好，但又不許政府推出新措施。
I think this analysis points to the root cause of the current situation in Hong Kong ie . the opposition camp think that something said is something done and difficulties are the answer . Then they will say do not do anything for there will be crises
施政報告亦以不拘一格的大量嶄新思維，尋求解決問題的方法，為市民"燃點希望"。
In the Policy Address many innovative ideas are explored to seek solutions to problems so as to Rekindle Hope for the people
