主席，以我代表的界別即體育、演藝、文化及出版界為例，我與不少業界朋友對於政府當局一直未有妥善處理香港印刷業商會成為出版界選民一事，表示非常失望。
President take Sports Performing Arts Culture and Publication FC which I represent as an example . Many people in the industry and I are very disappointed that the Government has not properly handled the inclusion of the Hong Kong Printers Association HKPA as an elector of the Publication subsector
事實上，我與印刷業商會多年來一直有向局方反映，多番要求加入體育、演藝、文化及出版界功能界別，卻未能成功。
In fact HKPA and I have requested the Policy Bureau to include HKPA in the Sports Performing Arts Culture and Publication FC for many years but to no avail
由於印刷業商會在1983年根據《保險業條例》第61c條獲認可為承保人組織，主要是為其會員承保僱員補償保險。
In 1983 HKPA was approved as an association of underwriters under section 61c of the Insurance Ordinance Cap . 41 mainly for underwriting employees compensation insurance business for its members
印刷業商會一直向政府反映，商會並不屬於保險界，而印刷業與保險界可以說是風馬牛不相及，大家關注的事項和權益亦相距甚遠，保險界在立法會的功能界別代表根本不可能兼顧及反映印刷業界的意見，而他們所擁有的一票根本遠遠不能代表數百名印刷業界會員的權益，導致印刷業界在議會一直缺乏表達意見的機會。
The publication sector is totally unrelated to the insurance sector and their concerns and interests are very different . The Insurance FC of the Legislative Council cannot incorporate and reflect the views of the printing industry at all and the single vote of HKPA can in no way represent the views of hundreds of practitioners of the printing industry . Thus the industry has been deprived of opportunities to express their views in the Legislative Council
過去數屆立法會選舉，業界均提出同樣的訴求，其間，局長的位置已換了三四人，我曾再三向局方反映，但局方一直拒絕在過去的選舉法例修訂中撥亂反正。
The publication sector has put forward the same request in a number of Legislative Council elections in the past; and during this period the position of the Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs has been taken up by three or four different persons one after the other . Although I have repeated this request to the Policy Bureau it has all along refused to rectify the problem through amendments to the electoral legislation
事實上，印刷業商會創立於1939年，有過百年的歷史，是香港歷史最悠久及最具代表性的印刷業組織，不單見證香港印刷業的發展，也與業界同步成長，出版印刷是上百年的共生行業，密不可分。
In fact HKPA established in 1939 has a history of over a hundred years . It is the oldest and most representative association of the printing industry . HKPA has not only witnessed the development of the printing industry but also developed with it
印刷業商會透過與各地政府部門及協會的聯繫、出版刊物、建立網站、舉辦大型研討會及考察活動、成立培訓研究中心、提供優惠服務等，加強同業凝聚力，為業界謀求福祉，提升競爭優勢。
The printing industry and the publication industry are interdependent on and closely connected with each other . HKPA has liaised with overseas government departments and associations published publications established a website hosted large - scale seminars and overseas visits set up a training and research centre provided concessionary services etc . to strengthen the bond within the industry promote its interests and increase its competitiveness
商會在過去一段時間，隨着國家改革開放，透過投資，與內地建立了密切關係，推動香港與內地印刷業的發展，無論是在經濟發展及文化交流互動方面，均作出了巨大貢獻。
With the reform and opening up of our country HKPA has established close ties with the Mainland and promoted the development of the printing industry of Hong Kong and the Mainland through investment . HKPA has made great contributions in terms of economic development and cultural exchange and interaction
在今年法案委員會會議上，我再次向局長提出有關問題，並且安排商會跟政制及內地事務局的官員會面，多次向政府解釋，商會在多年前已經不是一個獲保險業監督認可的承保人組織。
At meetings of the Bills Committee this year I have raised the same issue with the Secretary . I also arranged to meet with public officers of the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau and repeatedly explained to them that HKPA ceased to be an association of underwriters approved by the Insurance Authority many years ago and thus lost the only vote it had
故此，他們連僅有的一票已經失去。基於印刷業商會和出版界有密切的關係，將其納入體育、演藝、文化及出版界功能界別，實際上只涉及對相關法例作出一項技術性修訂，完全切合今次《條例草案》的修訂原意。
Since HKPA is closely connected with the publication sector including it in the Sports Performing Arts Culture and Publication FC will in practice only involve a technical amendment to the relevant legislation which will be completely consistent with the original intent of the amendment exercise
但是，非常遺憾的是，局方回應表示，如果將商會成員撥入出版小組的選民 界別，涉及對體育、演藝、文化及出版界功能界別的選民基礎作出重大改變。
However very unfortunately the Policy Bureau responded that if HKPA was included as an elector of the Publication subsector it would create a significant change to the electoral bases of the Sports Performing Arts Culture and Publication FC
事實上，我所代表的4個界別，選民基礎本身已經存在很大的不平衡，例如文化界有1,500名選民，出版界有500多名選民，體育界有600多名選民，演藝界只有大約200名選民，本身極不平衡。
In fact the electoral bases of the four subsectors that I represent are already very uneven . For example there are 1 500 electors in the Culture subsector 500 - plus electors in the Publication subsector 600 - plus electors in the Sports subsector and only about 200 electors in the Performing Arts subsector
所以，政府有關可能影響目前選民基礎的說法，我認為並不合理。
Thus I think the explanation of the Government that the proposal may affect the current electoral bases is unjustified
如果今次將商會納入出版界，反而能夠作出更好的平衡，其實是一個向前走的方向。
If HKPA was included in the Publication subsector it would result in a better balance which would actually be a change for the better
所以，政府今次不願意接納這項修訂所提出的理據，我認為是完全不能接受的。
Thus I think the explanation given by the Government for not accepting the proposal is totally unacceptable
事實上，除了我所代表的界別，資訊科技界、漁農界、旅遊界，以至批發及零售界的議員代表，也曾向政府提出，有個別團體無法成為屬於該功能界別選民的問題，又或是向政府提出擴大其功能界別選民基礎的要求。
In fact apart from the subsectors which I represent Members representing the FCs of Information Technology Agriculture and Fisheries Tourism and Wholesale and Retail have similarly expressed to the Government the problem that some groups have not been included in certain FCs or have made requests for broadening their electoral bases
遺憾的是，政府未有給予令人滿意的答案，亦未有將上述功能界別代表及持份者的訴求納入《條例草案》。
Regrettably the Government has neither provided any satisfactory answer nor incorporated the requests of the representatives and stakeholders of the above mentioned FCs in the Bill
主席，將個別團體撥入真正代表他們的功能界別，讓他們的聲音得以在議會內傳達，政府是責無旁貸的。
President the Government has the due responsibility to include certain groups into the FC which really represent them so that their voices can be heard in the Legislative Council
如果涉及一些疏忽，或政策上未完善的地方，政府也應該盡早更正，這樣做實際上也不涉及擴大功能界別代表性的問題。
If there is any negligence on the part of the Government or inadequacy in its policies the Government should rectify the mistakes as soon as possible . The proposal will not create any problem of increasing the representativeness of FCs in practice
回應這些聲音，可以進一步改善功能界別的代議功能，也給予未能在所屬界別投票的團體一個合適的交代，政府為何一直不肯接納呢？
By responding to the voices of the groups the Government can further enhance the function of representation of FCs and give a suitable account to the groups which have previously failed to cast their votes in the relevant FCs . Why has the Government not accepted the proposal?
此外，我明白《條例草案》只是針對技術性修訂，不過我亦希望藉着今次機會，表達我對政府今次處理《條例草案》的一些看法。
I understand that the Bill only focuses on technical amendments but I would like to take this opportunity to express my views on the approach of the Government in handling the Bill
多年來，政府欠功能界別一個交代。
For many years the Government has owed FCs an explanation
一方面，政府強調功能界別有其獨特性，可以令議會議決更有廣泛代表性，這一點我是完全認同和支持的。同時，功能界別可吸引界別內的專業人士參政，提高議事的質素。
On the one hand the Government emphasizes that FCs are unique in that they can increase the representativeness of deliberations of the Legislative Council and attract professionals of various sectors to engage in politics which will raise the standard of deliberations
可是，另一方面，政府不肯為進一步改善功能界別的代議功能，推動任何實質性的改善措施或建議。
On the other hand the Government is unwilling to further enhance the function of representation of FCs or take forward any concrete improvement measures or proposals
這樣做其實會流出空白點，讓一些別有用心的人根據我們存在的瑕疵，質疑功能界別的存在價值和代議功能。
This failure will create room for people with ulterior motives to use the imperfections to question the value of existence and the function of representation of FCs
政府多次推搪改善功能界別的選民基礎，認為這樣可以避免引起更多爭議，亦怕牽一髮動全身，等同另類政改。
The Government has made excuses on many occasions for not broadening the electoral bases of FCs thinking that it will avoid creating more controversies . Besides the Government is also worried that a small change will produce significant implications similar to those of a constitutional reform
但是，我希望政府可以思考，如果大規模政改因為種種原因無法推行，這是否代表一直要將功能界別選民基礎的問題置若罔聞、視若無睹呢？
Nevertheless I hope the Government can review the matter . Even though a large - scale constitutional reform cannot be introduced due to various reasons does it mean that the Government has to turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to the problem of electoral bases of FCs?
主席，作為體育、演藝、文化及出版界的議會代表，我既支持擴大功能界別的代表性，亦了解擴大界別代表性，無可避免要處理一些難題。
President as the Member representing the Sports Performing Arts Culture and Publication FC I support increasing the representativeness of FCs and I understand that this initiative will necessarily involve addressing some difficult issues
但是，政府不應該以避重就輕的心態迴避問題，相反應該迎難而上，盡量作出一些合理的修正，強化功能界別的代表性和認受性。
However the Government should not choose the easier way out and avoid solving the difficult problems . Instead it should squarely face the difficulties and strengthen the representativeness and legitimacy of FCs by introducing reasonable legislative amendments
今次修訂並不能符合我所有的期望，也不符合我代表界別的持份者的期望，不過，正如我之前所說，《條例草案》雖然只是作出一些小修小補，但始終是一些必需的更正和改善。
The amendments proposed this time do not meet all of my expectations and those of the stakeholders of the FC which I represent . However as I said earlier although the Bill has only made patchy fixes the rectifications and improvements proposed are necessary
故此，我仍然支持通過《條例草案》，並會繼續要求政府及早對功能界別選舉制度作出必要的改善。
Thus I will still support the passage of the Bill and will continue to ask the Government to make necessary improvements to the electoral system of FCs
我謹此陳辭，支持通過《條例草案》，多謝主席。
I so submit and support the passage of the Bill . Thank you President
主席，我根據《議事規則》第162條動議休會待續的議案，議案的措辭如下：本會現即休會待續，以就下述事項進行辯論：本周一開始香港各區出現嚴重暴力示威活動，直至現時亂局仍未平息，香港的治安極不穩定，人心惶惶，政府對平息亂局、維持治安及保護市民的即時應對措施。
President I move a motion that the Council do now adjourn under Rule 162 of the Rules of Procedure . The wording of the motion is as follows That this Council do now adjourn for the purpose of debating the following issue in view of the serious violent protests and activities that have arisen in various districts in Hong Kong since this Monday and the fact that the chaotic situation has not subsided so far which have led to extremely unstable public security and widespread panic in Hong Kong the immediate countermeasures to be adopted by the Government to quell the chaos restore law and order and protect members of the public
主席，如你容許，我想花一兩分鐘解釋這項議案。
President with your permission I would like to spend a couple minutes of explaining this motion
主席，大家也看到自星期一起，香港廣泛地區出現嚴重的暴力示威活動，示威者堵塞多條主要幹道，破壞道路設施，鐵路運輸系統亦受到嚴重破壞，香港整個陸路運輸交通基本上近乎癱瘓。
President as we can see violent protests and activities have emerged in extensive areas in Hong Kong since Monday . Protesters blocked major trunk roads damaged road facilities and severely vandalized the railway transport system nearly paralysing the entire land transport network
這個亂局至今尚未見平息跡象，社會秩序依然未回復，治安極不穩定，市民的生活受到嚴重阻礙，生命亦受到威脅，人心極度虛怯。
The chaotic situation has not shown signs of subsiding so far . Public order has yet to be restored and public security is extremely unstable . Peoples living is severely disrupted and their lives are threatened putting them in extreme panic
香港正面臨即時危機，如果本會不能在此時作出討論，今天和明天也不會有合適場合讓政府作出回應。
Hong Kong is facing an immediate crisis . If this Council does not hold a discussion now there will be no suitable occasion for the Government to give responses today and tomorrow
主席，我根據《議事規則》第162條動議休會待續議案，議案措辭已透過秘書送交各位同事，我亦感謝主席按《議事規則》批准動議這項議案。
President I move an adjournment motion under Rule 162 of the Rules of Procedure and the wording of which has already been circulated to Members through the Clerk . I would also like to thank the President for permitting me to move this motion under the Rules of Procedure
事實上，根據第162條緊急提出休會待續議案，今次並非首次，議會之前也曾多次如此處理，不過，我認為今次的情況確實是非常緊急，因為"止暴制亂"這4個字，由夏天提出一直談到現在行將入冬，不單仍未做到，情況更越來越差、越演越烈。
In fact this is not the first time that an adjournment motion of an urgent character is moved under Rule 162 of the Rules of Procedure and we have handled many similar cases in this legislature before . However I consider the situation in the current case really urgent because we have been talking about stopping violence and curbing disorder since the summer months and as we are entering the winter season now not only have we failed to achieve the goal but the situation has also deteriorated with an intensification of the problem
政府止暴制亂的工作，可說是越止越亂。
The Governments attempts to stop violence and curb disorder have only brought about more chaos
暴徒由最初的堵路、擲磚、暴力"私了"，到現在燒車、縱火、破壞鐵路，市民已經忍無可忍，亦感到特區政府似乎甚麼也做不到。
At the beginning rioters blocked roads hurled bricks made violent vigilante attacks they now set fire on vehicles commit arsons sabotage railway tracks . Many people have found the situation increasingly intolerable and felt that the SAR Government can do nothing about it
市民深感憂慮，甚至連最基本的安全問題也缺乏保障。
They are deeply worried as there is no basic protection for their personal safety
如果特區政府連最基本的保障市民安全的工作也做得不好，香港市民如何會認同特區政府有能力管治這個地區呢？
If the SAR Government cannot even do its job well in providing members of the public with the most basic protection for their personal safety how can Hong Kong people consider that the SAR Government does have the ability to govern the territory?
這兩天我們從媒 體上看到很多暴力行為，這些行為不單違法，甚至可說和恐怖襲擊全無分別。
As we have learned from media reports over these two days there have been so many violent acts and these acts are not only unlawful but also no different from terrorist attacks
大型商場同樣遭到無差別破壞，很多商鋪被縱火。
Some large shopping malls have been subject to indiscriminate vandalism many shops have been set on fire
部分大學校園亦變成戰場，黑衣人利用校園之便，向附近天橋、馬路、鐵路投擲雜物，這兩天除擲物之外，更一如我剛才所說縱火，港鐵、巴士、貨車等全都遭殃。
The campus of certain universities have also turned into battlefields when black - clad people have taken advantage of their geographical convenience to throw all sorts of objects onto flyovers roads and railway tracks nearby . In addition to throwing objects cases of arson were also reported in the past two days like I said earlier and MTR stations buses and trucks have all become the targets of attack
現時整條東鐵和吐露港公路基本上處於癱瘓狀態，我所屬選區新界東的居民根本難以出行，生活和工作都大受影響。
Basically the entire East Rail Line and Tolo Highway have now been paralysed as a result the daily life and work of those residing in my constituency have been greatly affected as they have difficulties in travelling to other districts
我今早詢問政務司司長，有何辦法可確保市民明天可正常上班和上學，對於這麼卑微的要求，司長回答他也沒有辦法，要視乎何處出現堵路，如沒有堵路行動，市民便可如常上班。
I asked the Chief Secretary for Administration this morning about the measures in place to ensure that members of the public can go to work and school as usual tomorrow . This is just a very humble request but the Chief Secretary for Administration replied that there was nothing he could do and things actually depended on where the blockage of roads happened . According to him we can all go to work as usual if no blockage of roads happens
有一位前線警務人員告訴我，他由星期日開始連續工作了52小時，其間全無中斷，可以想象其身心承受多麼巨大的壓力。
A frontline police officer told me that he had been working continuously without break for 52 hours since Sunday and we can imagine the magnitude of the physical and mental pressure he has to cope with
不知道政府可否告訴我們刑事罪案的數字飆升了多少，在這樣混亂的情況下又有沒有人趁火打劫？
I wonder if the Government can tell us how serious the increase in crime figures has been and whether attempts have been made by somebody in such a chaotic situation to fish in troubled waters
昨天，上水一間金鋪的老闆告訴我，他的店鋪鐵閘被撬，幸好沒受損，否則雖不致被縱火，也會蒙受財物損失，現時的確有人在趁火打劫。
The owner of a goldsmith shop in Sheung Shui told me yesterday that the iron gate of his shop had been broken open and fortunately it was not damaged otherwise he would suffer property loss even if the shop was spared from an arson attack
以前有說法指旺角在午夜12時後是由黑社會分子掌控一切，現時街上則是24小時均由黑衣人掌控一切，儼如無政府狀態。
It was previously suggested that Mong Kok area was under the total control of triad members after 12 midnight but the streets of Hong Kong have been controlled by black - clad people 24 hours a day like a near anarchic state
最令我感到遺憾的是，政府現時似乎只在"出口術"，表現未符市民的期望，甚至有推卸責任之嫌。
What I find most regrettable is that the performance of the Government fails to live up to the expectation of the public and it seems to be paying lip service only or even shirking its responsibility
主席，我說出此話或引用這個例子，並不是要針對楊潤雄局長，但他如能在早兩天作出今天這個停課的決定，相信市民也不會心生怨氣，認為政府推卸責任或欠缺清晰指示。
President I have made these remarks and cited the above example not for the purpose of criticizing Secretary Kevin YEUNG but if the decision today on class suspension could be made two days earlier I believe there would not have been so many grievances in society and the Government would not have been accused of shirking its responsibility or failing to give clear instructions
事實上，即使是司長或特首對社會現況的一些說法，也令人有模棱兩可之感。
As a matter of fact certain remarks made by the Chief Secretary for Administration or the Chief Executive on the current social situation are considered ambiguous
例如特首說現時在大學出現的混亂情況，要交由大學校長處理，但大學校長如能處理，便不會出現今天的現象，段校長的家門遭到塗鴉，整間大學也被破壞。
For example according to the Chief Executive the chaotic situations of some universities at present should be left to university heads to handle but if they had the ability to tackle the problems things would not have developed to the present state where graffiti can be found on the door of Vice Chancellor TUANs residence and signs of damage are seen in the entire university
所以，政府要在此時拿出勇氣和魄力，作出承擔。
The Government should therefore pluck up its courage by showing its commitment
如政府支持警方強硬執法，便應支持到底，把所有暴力犯罪分子繩之於法，不能讓本港某些地方、學校淪為窩藏罪犯的天堂。
If the Government supports strong law enforcement actions by the Police its support must be unwavering so that all violent offenders will be brought to justice and not a single area and school in Hong Kong will be made a hiding place for criminals
如果特首不想社會停擺，光說是沒有用的，要有實質的止暴制亂措施，令香港市民的生活可恢復正常。
It would be useless for the Chief Executive to merely pay lip service if she really does not wish to see the community come to a standstill and concrete measures should be taken to stop violence and curb disorder so that the daily life of Hong Kong people can resume normal
如果甚麼措施也欠奉，光對着傳媒說會繼續努力，並呼籲大家不要搗亂和堵路，這未免與香港市民期望她有所作為的要求出現極大落差。
If nothing is done and a statement is only issued to the media claiming that she would continue to do her best and urging for an end to all actions to create disorder and block roads I can only say that this approach has fallen far short of public expectation because Hong Kong people are looking forward to some tangible actions
所以，政府的首要任務是保障市民生命財產的安全。
Hence the first and foremost priority of the Government is to safeguard the life and property of Hong Kong citizens
我在議事堂曾多次指出，要讓市民有3個"免於"，亦即免於恐懼、商店免於被破壞、言論免於受威脅。
As I have pointed out repeatedly in this Chamber efforts should be made to achieve the three objectives of ensuring that everyone will be free from fear shops will be protected from being vandalized and the freedom of speech will be protected from any threat
如果現時走在街上也不安全，說一句話也可能會被毆打，又或店鋪會無故被縱火，這還是一個安全的社會嗎？
Would it still be a safe society if it will not be safe for people to walk in the street people may be beaten up for what they have said or a shop may be set on fire for no reason at all?
我無法回答，相信特區政府的官員亦未必可以作答。
This is a question which I cannot answer and I think not even officials of the SAR Government can answer this question
不過，我們現在要問的不是特區政府在過去5個月做了些甚麼，而是在未來1小時會做些甚麼，讓市民的生活恢復正常，重拾對香港的信心。
However we are not trying to find out now what the SAR Government has done over the past five months but are asking what it will do in the coming hour to enable peoples life to resume normal thereby restoring their confidence in Hong Kong
在座不少議員同事也希望協助政府，承擔責任，但我們只是議員，立法會是一個議會，行政機關的工作始終須交由政府官員執行。
Many fellow Members present here would very much like to help the Government by taking on responsibility but we are after all Members of this legislature ie . the Legislative Council of Hong Kong and the work of the executive authorities should be carried out by government officials
我看到街上很多參與社會運動的人說要為未來而戰，但如果連今天也沒有，又哪有未來呢？
I notice that many people who took to the street and participated in the social movement have claimed that they were fighting for the future . But the future is meaningless if we are unable to enjoy the present?
破壞當然容易，只需要把所有東西打破，但要修復和建設卻非常困難。
Destruction is always easy because it can simply be done by destroying everything but it will be very hard to restore and construct
香港人今天享有的一切，是過去數代人奮鬥的成果，今天不顧一切將之全數破壞，是一種非常自私和惡毒的做法。
All things that Hong Kong people enjoy nowadays are hard - earned achievements made through the struggle of several generations of people in the past and it is very selfish and vicious to destroy them all at all costs today
要建設香港，靠的不是黑衣暴徒，而是勤奮工作、理性務實的香港人。
The development of Hong Kong does not depend on black - clad rioters but those Hong Kong people who are hardworking rational and pragmatic
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：陳克勤議員動議的休會待續議案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the adjournment motion moved by Mr CHAN Hak - kan be passed
主席，特區政府左一句暴徒，右一句譴責，額頭永遠刻上"止暴制亂"幾個字，其實官員是否知道在5個月前，即這種運動之前，年青人或中老年人都無懼子彈、催淚彈站出來抗爭之前，其實有很大部分香港年青人不介意返回內地，不介意周末到深圳玩樂，不介意喝喜茶，不介意看內地劇集，他們對於社會或內地文化完全沒有抗拒。
President the SAR Government mentioned rioters and condemnation constantly and has stopping violence and curbing disorder etched on its forehead . However do public officers know that five months ago before this movement before young middle - and old - aged people came out to struggle without fear of bullets and tear gas most Hong Kong young people actually did not mind going to the Mainland going to Shenzhen for fun on weekends drinking HEYTEA or watching Mainland television drama series? . They did not resist Mainland society or culture whatsoever
只不過經歷了5個月，現在發生甚麼事，大家完全知道了。
After five months everyone knows what has happened now
現時大家的恐懼比對"六四"的恐懼更甚，因為這是發生在面前的生活當中，即使不上前線，在家中也可能受催淚彈波及。
Peoples fear now is even stronger than that for the 4 June incident because this is happening in their lives . Even if they do not go to the front line they may be affected by tear gas at home
特區政府有沒有意識到現時即使不是全部有部分前線警員根本不受控制，特區政府呼籲香港人與其他人割席之前，是否願意先與前線失控的警員割席呢？
Is the SAR Government aware that some frontline police officers even not all are out of control presently? . Before calling on Hongkongers to sever ties with others is the SAR Government prepared to sever ties with frontline police officers who have gone out of control?
主席，我是問面對現時即使不是全部，我說的是局部小部分失控的警員，當局是否完全沒有任何整治的打算？
President my question is about police officers―I am not referring to all police officers but only some of them―the small number of police officers who have gone out of control now do the authorities not have any plan to fix this?
主席，司長昨天提到政府沒有進行民意調查，故不知道現在最大的民憤是甚麼。
President the Chief Secretary said yesterday that he did not know the greatest cause for public resentment as the Government had not conducted any public opinion survey
主席，其實很簡單，市民知道沒有可能用鎮壓解決民憤。
President it is very simple actually . People know that repression cannot possibly address public resentment
有暴政便有人抗暴，這是讀中國數千年歷史便知道的事。
We have learnt from thousands of years of Chinese history that whenever there is a tyranny there are uprisings against it
現在北京夾住你們，想用暴力把問題越搞越亂，所謂"大亂有大治"，不知道你們是否有這種心態，反而現在美國華盛頓有了切入點，我剛剛收到消息，參議院......
Now you are held hostage by Beijing that wants to use violence to render the situation even more chaotic as they believe great order always comes after great chaos . I wonder if you also think this way . On the contrary Washington has been given a handle now
正是因為北京不願面對這個政治問題，反而要美國出手。
Because Beijing refuses to face this political issue so the United States have to take it on
我的急切質詢是，司長、香港政府和北京政府何時才肯面對現實，用政治方法答應香港人的政治訴求，而不是用暴力鎮壓來解決人民？
My urgent question is Chief Secretary when will the Hong Kong and Beijing Governments face the reality and answer the political demands of Hong Kong people by political means instead of exerting violent repression of the people?
很簡單而已，我的急切質詢是連美國參議院也出手，這是一個政治切入點，北京何時才會醒覺，用政治切入點答應香港人的政治訴求？
It is very simple . My urgent question is that even the United States Senate got involved at this political starting point when will Beijing awaken and answer Hong Kong peoples political demands at a political starting point?
如果你指控司長"講大話"，我請你收回這句話。
If you accuse Chief Secretary of lying I require you to withdraw this remark
范國威議員，請停止發言。
Mr Gary FAN please stop speaking
