可是，去年這個業主法團又再提出這種圍標的建議，結果該法團被1,600名小業主透過選舉撤換。
However the OC put forth another bid - rigging proposal last year . Finally the OC was removed by 1 600 owners through an election
然而，該法團被撤換後，竟然拒絕交出帳目，更在今年4月凍結了銀行戶口，令屋苑只可拖欠數以百萬元計的保安及清潔費用。
Yet after the removal the OC refused to hand over the account books to the new OC . In April this year it even froze the bank account causing the estate to default on payment for security and cleaning service charges of a few million dollars
其實，新法團的運作已近乎癱瘓，部分承辦商甚至減少提供服務，包括清潔服務。
Actually the operation of the new OC was almost paralysed and certain contractors had reduced the scale of service provision including cleaning services
原有法團竟可這麼惡，即使新的業主法團向政府部門求助，但每次也遇到挫敗。
How can the previous OC be so unreasonable? . The new OC has sought assistance from government departments yet they suffered a setback every time
對於原有法團公然違法，民政事務處只可提供調解，新業主法團的主席慨嘆小業主的利益完全沒有保障。
Regarding the blatant violation of laws by the previous OC the District Office DO would only act as a mediator . The chairman of the new OC could only express regret that the interests of small property owners were not protected at all
其中一位姓黃的業主，直指民政事務處根本無法對付原有法團，數次開會也只是派一些初級官員出席，完全幫不上忙。
One of the owners Mr WONG pointed out directly that DO has utterly no ways to deal with the previous OC for in the several meetings held DO had only appointed junior officials to attend the meetings and they failed to offer any assistance
新的法團為取回帳目，解除被凍結的戶口，最終只有籌款，與原有法團在審裁處對簿公堂，最後獲得勝訴，才能迫使原有法團在兩星期內交出這些財物。
To recover the account books and reactivate the frozen bank account the new OC had no way but to raise funds to bring the previous OC to court . It was only after they had won the case that they could press the previous OC to return these properties to the new OC in two weeks
除了在刑責上要加重罰則，以及釐清有關政府部門的權責外，當局亦應容許制訂一些其他安排，例如設立冷靜期，當一些大型維修工程的費用超過100萬元或超過法團的預算三成以上時，應該容許設立冷靜期如兩星期。
Apart from increasing the penalty in terms of criminal liability and defining the powers and accountability of relevant government departments properly the authorities should allow the formulation of some other arrangements such as the introduction of a cooling - off period . For instance for large - scale maintenance works projects costing over 1 million or exceeding 30 % of the budget of OC a cooling - off period of two weeks or so should be allowed to set up
此外，楊岳橋議員建議提高通過大型工程的法定人數或 投票人數的門檻，這亦是非常重要的。
Moreover Mr Alvin YEUNG proposes that the threshold for passing large - scale works projects should be raised in terms of the quorum required or the number of owners participating in the voting . This is also a very important point
"招標妥"是一項理想安排，我們希望當局盡快落實，並應擴展"招標妥"的規模，讓更多舊樓業主得到一些基本協助。
The Smart Tender scheme is a desirable arrangement . I hope the authorities will implement it as soon as possible . In fact the scale of the Smart Tender scheme should be expanded to enable more owners of old buildings to have access to some primary assistance
對於今天所有議員提出的修正案當然包括原議案， 我們也非常支持。
We strongly support all the amendments proposed by Members today as well as the original motion
我們認為小業主，尤其是一些老業主，到了晚年仍要飽受這些圍標的驚恐，實在是不必要的。
For small property owners particularly the elderly owners who are gripped by the fear of bid - rigging in old age we consider that bid - rigging is completely avoidable
我們明白舊樓需要維修，甚至可能需要局部重建，但我們仍希望以復修為主。
We understand that old buildings require maintenance or even partial redevelopment yet we still hope that rehabilitation can be made the mainstay
我們也希望社區能協助這些舊樓業主翻新樓宇，令他們的居住環境與我們的經濟水平一致。
We also hope that the community will assist these owners of old buildings in renovating their buildings so that their living environment can be brought on par with the economic condition in Hong Kong
圍標真的不能再存在，這會令香港變成一個十分落後的城市，我們不可能助長少數業主聯同黑社會、一些沒有道德及唯利是圖的專業顧問公司，以連鎖組織的方式欺壓業主，欺騙業主寶貴的財富。
Bid - rigging should be wiped out for it is turning Hong Kong into a backward city . We cannot condone the collusion of a small number of owners triads and certain unscrupulous and mercenary professional consultancies which seek to exploit owners through the chain - organization approaches and cheat owners out of their wealth
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：張超雄議員就經劉國勳議員及楊岳橋議員修正的林卓廷議員議案動議的修正案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the amendment moved by Dr Fernando CHEUNG to Mr LAM Cheuk - tings motion as amended by Mr LAU Kwok - fan and Mr Alvin YEUNG be passed
議員已獲通知，由於張超雄議員的修正案獲得通過，郭偉强議員已撤回他的修正案。
Members have already been informed as Dr Fernando CHEUNGs amendment has been passed Mr KWOK Wai - keung has withdrawn his amendment
代理主席，1989年距今已有20多年，很多人會問，我們舉行悼念還有沒有意思呢？
Deputy President it has been more than two decades since 1989 . Many people may ask Does it still carry any meaning to hold a commemoration?
我們在每年的6月4日繼續說毋忘六四，平反六四，而一些年青人甚至問，我們每年行禮如儀地舉行悼念，為的是甚麼？
On 4 June every year we continue to chant Do not forget the 4 June incident and Vindicate the 4 June incident . Some young people even ask for what purpose we hold a commemoration as a matter of ritual every year
大家無須向任何人負責、無須向任何人交代、無須理會別人在Facebook上怎樣說，大家只須向自己的良心交代便已足夠。
We need not be responsible to anyone; we need not explain it to anyone; and we need not care about what other people say on Facebook . We need only be accountable to our conscience and that should suffice
全中國只有香港這個地方可以在6月4日晚上進行這麼大型的群眾運動，讓世人知道香港人沒有忘記這件事，讓世人知道香港人在乎這件事。
Hong Kong is the one and only place in China where a mass movement of such a large scale can be held on the night of 4 June telling people all over the world that Hongkongers have not forgotten this incident that Hongkongers care about this incident
只要大家在乎這件事，便一定不會忘記六四發生的事。
So long as we care about this incident we definitely will not forget what happened in the 4 June incident
對於很多人來說，六四可能是很遙遠或印象很深刻的事，但對我來說，這是改變我一生的事。
To many people the 4 June incident may be very remote or something that left them a deep impression . But to me it has changed my entire life
在1989年，當時我只是唸中二，由於發生六四事件，家人好像要走難般把我送到外國。
In 1989 I was only in Secondary Two and in the wake of the 4 June incident my family sent me overseas like making an escape from a disaster
他們感到地球好像會爆炸，於是便設法令自己的兒子離開這個會爆炸的地球，把他送上太空船運走。
They felt as if the Earth was going to explode and so they pulled all stops to send their son away from this Earth on the verge of explosion putting him on a spaceship and sending him away
他們將所有希望寄託在我身上，因而改變了我的一生。
They pinned all their hopes on me and it changed my whole life
六四事件是在內地發生而已，我們這裏是香港；但它卻影響了數代人。
They said that the 4 June incident happened in the Mainland whereas we are in Hong Kong . Yet it has affected several generations of people
很多人因為八九六四這事而舉家移民，離開香港；當然，一些人其後回流。
Many people had emigrated with the whole family and left Hong Kong because of the 4 June incident in 1989 and of course some people returned later
很多事件容易遺忘，也容易淡忘，其實我也不想記起，沒有人想記起，沒有人想悼念，沒有人想每年走出來在這裏說這事，因為每次提起這事，每次想起這事，每年接近6月4日時 在Facebook上看到的畫面或電視重播六四時候發生的事情，凡此種種都打進大家的心坎內。
I actually do not wish to remember it either . Nobody wants to remember it; nobody wants to commemorate it; nobody wants to come forth and talk about it here every year . It is because every time this incident is brought up every time when we think of this incident and every year when 4 June draws near the scenes that we see on Facebook or the television re - runs of what happened on 4 June all pound against our heart
那些是活生生的人，可以是你或我。
Those vivid living souls can be you and me
在1989年，譚耀宗在"城市論壇"譴責中共這殘暴政權屠殺人民，今天的譚耀宗在哪裏？
In 1989 in City Forum TAM Yiu - chung condemned the brutal regime of the Communist Party of China for massacring the people . Where is TAM Yiu - chung today?
歷史不是用來扭曲的，不是說你今天當權，便可以改變一件已發生的事。
History brooks no distortion . It is not the case that when you are in power today you can change something that has happened
很多同事也說，歷史是由當權者所寫的，我們當然知道，但有一樣東西是當權者也不能改變的，便是大家的良心、大家的良知。
Many colleagues said that history is written by those in power and this we certainly know . But there is one thing that not even the powers that be can change and that is our conscience our scruple
如果要強行埋沒良心，明明有人死了，也可以說沒有人死；明明有鎮壓，也可以說沒有鎮壓；明明坦克車輾過一個活生生的人，也可以說根本沒有這回事，這是甚麼良心？
If conscience is buried arbitrarily and if people were clearly killed but it could be said that no one died and if there was clearly suppression but it could be said that there was no suppression and if a tank had clearly run over a living man and it could be said that no such thing had happened what conscience is this?
但是，很可惜，香港偏偏出現這些埋沒良心的人，將這件事說成沒有發生過，把這件事說成好像是以電腦技術在20多年前已經製造出來的，是造假。
But much to our regret in Hong Kong there are exactly these people who have buried their conscience by describing this incident as if it has never happened . They have described this incident as if it was invented some two decades ago with the use of computer technology and a sheer fabrication
我相信答案很明顯。
I believe the answer is obvious
我希望大家支持這項議案：毋忘六四，平反六四。
I hope Members will support this motion Do not forget the 4 June incident . Vindicate the 4 June incident
主席，圍標問題令不少業主和住戶承受巨大的財政及心理壓力，更無奈的是，業主既要承擔高昂維修費用，更要忍受低劣的工程質素。
President bid - rigging has subjected many property owners and residents to immense financial and psychological pressure . Owners feel even more helpless about having to meet high maintenance fees while suffering the low quality of works
2013年的沙田翠湖花園圍標事件，便是一個最經典的例子。
The bid - rigging incident of Garden Vista in Sha Tin in 2013 is a classic example
面對樓宇老化問題，業主需要維修本身的住宅樓宇，以免重演有如馬頭圍道唐樓倒塌的慘劇，確實是無可厚非的。
Given the ageing of buildings there is indeed no cause for complaint if owners are required to carry out maintenance of their residential buildings so as not to repeat tragedies such as the collapse of a tenement building collapse in Ma Tau Wai Road
問題是，政府把大廈維修的責任推卸予業主立案法團，要業主自行尋覓工程公 司。
The problem is the Government has shirked its responsibility of building maintenance and passed it to the owners corporations OCs so owners have to find works companies on their own
可惜，不少業主由於缺乏相關知識或對問題敏感度不足，只一味授權法團委員投票，令不法分子有機可乘，更以圍標方式騙取翻新樓宇的維修合約。
Unfortunately many owners lack relevant knowledge of or sensitivity in the issue but only keep authorizing OC members as proxy creating opportunities for unruly elements to cheat to win building maintenance contracts by bid - rigging
這些圍標集團因應不同維修工程而組成，利用表面上毫無關連的公司名義進行投標，並由樓宇翻新工程顧問公司和承建商合謀包辦一條龍的行騙手段。
Formed specifically for different maintenance works these bid - rigging syndicates submit bids in the names of completely unrelated companies and let building renovation consultants and contractors collude to take full charge of the through - train fraud operation
面對這些問題，自由黨認為當局應該堵塞《建築物管理條例》的漏洞。
In the light of these problems the Liberal Party considers that the authorities should plug the loopholes of the Building Management Ordinance BMO
雖然，當局早前曾就《條例》作出修訂建議，但自由黨認為有關修訂的可行性成疑，更遑論有效杜絕圍標。
Though the authorities have earlier made amendment proposals for BMO the Liberal Party remains doubtful about the feasibility of the proposals let alone their effectiveness of eradicating bid - rigging
本意是希望藉着更多業主的參與，杜絕不法分子有機可乘。
The original intent is to increase participation of owners so as to prevent unruly elements from exploiting opportunities
但有關建議在執行上其實有相當困難，最終不是令法團會議流會，就是令決議案議而不決，使法團的運作更舉步維艱。
However the proposal presents considerable difficulty in execution eventually leading to either the adjournment of OC meetings due to a lack of quorum or undecided resolutions . Hence the operation of OCs even becomes more difficult
事實上，當局在監管法團的事宜上一向執法不力，雖然在2011年至2015年期間，就涉及樓宇管理及維修的貪污投訴有高達3,800宗，但成功檢控人數只有121人，其中106宗被定罪，可見檢控率相當低。
In fact the authorities have been undertaking perfunctory enforcement of law regarding the regulation of OCs . From 2011 to 2015 there were 3 800 complaints about corruption in building management and maintenance but only 121 people were successively prosecuted in which only 106 cases were convicted indicating a pretty low prosecution rate
這也是導致今天圍標問題日益猖獗的原因之一。
It is one of the causes for the increasingly rampant bid - rigging problem today
因此，自由黨認為政府有必要加大現行執法的力度，以保障業主權益。
Therefore the Liberal Party considers that the Government must dial up the vigour of law enforcement currently so as to protect the rights and interests of owners
自由黨建議應該對涉嫌違例的法團予以刑事制裁，以起阻嚇作用，杜絕不法圍標集團的產生。
The Liberal Party proposes imposing criminal sanctions on OCs which are suspected of violating BMO to create a deterrent effect thus eradicating the formation of illegal bid - rigging syndicates
由於大廈維修涉及多項工程及巨額金錢，因此，自由黨贊成給予業主冷靜期，讓業主可以在合理限期內審閱有關公司的合約條款，並且可以無條件地取消合約而獲退款，以保障業主的利益。
As building maintenance involves multiple works items and huge sums of money the Liberal Party agrees to introducing a cooling - off period for owners so that they can examine the contract terms of the related companies within a reasonable period of time and unconditionally cancel the contracts with refunds so as to protect the rights and interests of owners
現時18區的民政事務處均成立了地區大廈管理聯絡小組，為區內居民提供全面的大廈管理服務。
At present District Building Management Liaison Teams have been set up in the 18 District Offices to provide comprehensive service on building management for district residents
但聯絡主任工作繁重，既負責推廣大廈管理方法，又要為法團管理委員會舉辦相關的大廈管理課程，甚至要為法團和業主提供意見，並需要經常安排義務專業調解服務。
But the Liaison Officers deal with a heavy workload . They promote good practices of building management organize courses on building management for members of OC management committees and even give advice to OCs and owners . They also need to arrange for the provision of voluntary professional mediation service
政府於2015年年初推出為期兩年的大廈管理義務專業調解服務試驗計劃，並於今年2月完結。
In the beginning of 2015 the Government launched the two - year Free Mediation Service Pilot Scheme for Building Management which ended in February this year
計劃原意雖好，但真正實行時卻令人失望。
Though well - intentioned the Scheme was disappointing in actual implementation
調解員出席業主大會時只能以"齋坐"來形容，完全無助調解業主大會 出現的糾紛。
Mediators could best be described as spectators when attending owners meetings completely failing to assist in the mediation of disputes arising therein
自由黨希望當局除了增加負責大廈管理問題的人手外，還應該加強聯絡主任有關調解糾紛的培訓，以應付不斷增多的大廈管理問題。
The Liberal Party hopes the authorities apart from increasing the manpower for handling building management problems will strengthen training for Liaison Officers on mediation of disputes with a view to tackling the rising number of building management problems
為減少私人樓宇進行維修工程時遭圍標集團干擾，市區重建局在2016年5月推出"招標妥"樓宇復修促進服務，向有意維修大廈的業主組織提供支援，讓業主掌握樓宇維修的資訊。
To minimize the intervention of bid - rigging syndicates in maintenance works of private buildings the Urban Renewal Authority introduced the Smart Tender Building Rehabilitation Facilitating Services in May 2016 to provide assistance to owners organizations intending to carry out building maintenance so that owners can obtain information of building maintenance
為進一步推廣"招標妥"的服務，今年財政預算案更預留了3億元，讓私人樓宇業主可以極優惠的費用使用"招標妥"服務，這一點是值得支持的。
To further promote the Smart Tender scheme 300 million has been earmarked in the Budget this year for enabling owners of private buildings to use the Smart Tender scheme at a great discount . It is worth our support
主席，雖然自由黨認為成立"樓宇維修工程監管局"有架床疊屋之嫌，但鑒於現時圍標情況日益嚴重，成立監管局可以統一監管業界的操守和維修質素，制訂實務標準及行業指引，甚至訂立發牌制度，自由黨不反對成立監管局。
President though the Liberal Party considers the establishment of a building maintenance works authority duplication of structure given the increasingly rampant problem of bid - rigging the establishment of an authority can standardize the codes of practice and maintenance quality in the industry formulate practical standards and industry guidelines and even set up a licensing regime . The Liberal Party does not oppose the establishment of such an authority
希望政府多管齊下，解決圍標問題。
We hope that the Government will adopt a multi - pronged approach to solve the problem of bid - rigging
主席，我通過動議......該說我動議通過，我也希望會通過。
President I pass the motion I should say I move that the motion I really hope that the motion would be passed
這只是佛洛伊德式說漏咀，我真的希望議案可以獲得通過。
This is only a Freudian slip; I really hope that the motion could be passed
我們要譴責周浩鼎議員行為不檢及違反誓言，但有人說，違反誓言沒有需要被譴責；他真的違反了誓言，我稍後會為大家細說從頭。
We have to censure Mr Holden CHOW for misbehaviour and breach of oath but some said that breach of oath needs not be censured . He has breached the oath and I will elaborate later
我們除了譴責他外，最終是要取消他的議員資格。
In addition to censuring him we eventually want to disqualify him from office
民建聯主席李慧琼議員很坦白地說：周浩鼎議員是議會新丁，經驗不足，所以沒有向梁振英"say no"她這樣說不對周浩鼎議員沒有指出 44項修訂出自梁振英的手筆。
Ms Starry LEE Chairman of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB has been very frank in saying that Mr Holden CHOW is a newbie in this Council who lacks experience; therefore he did not say no to LEUNG Chun - ying . What she said was not right; Mr Holden CHOW had not pointed out that the 44 amendments were made by LEUNG Chun - ying
這些正是我們要成立調查委員會去調查的事。
These are matters to be investigated by an investigation committee
指責他沒有分析力、沒有常識、零承擔及沒有公信力等說話只是批評。
The saying that he lacks analytical power common sense commitment and credibility is a mere criticism
我們唯一想到的是， 這是"接近權力的亢奮"；第二，可能向梁振英"say yes"會有好處和着數；第三，周浩鼎議員這個人識見有限我不是說"見識"，而是說"識見"所以他很樂意出賣誠信。
The reasons we can think of are first the excitement of getting close to people in power; second saying yes to LEUNG Chun - ying may get some advantages and benefits; third Mr Holden CHOW has limited knowledge and experience so he is happy to sell his credibility
當然，以上都是揣測，我們不知道這個常人常理的推測多少是真、多少是假，所以，應該成立調查委員會，讓大家討論清楚。
Of course these are speculations; we do not know to what extent these common sense speculations are true or false; thus an investigation committee should be set up for further discussion
醜聞爆發至今，周浩鼎議員有的是時間，他可以走出來說清楚。
Since the outbreak of the scandal Mr Holden CHOW has plenty of time to clarify the ins and outs of the incident
當時他在一個公開場合出現，李怡看到一眾人士"接近權力的亢奮"。
At that time when XU Jiatun appeared on a public occasion LEE Yee saw how exited people were to get close to people in power
這是可以爭論的事，問題是，他作為平機會委員，卻曾經拉大隊、呼朋喚友到平機會總部反對同志婚姻。
This is subject to debate . Yet the problem is that Mr Holden CHOW being an EOC member once organized a large group of people to protest against same - sex marriage at the head office of EOC
有人說，這事不涉及利益，只是他的個人表達。
Some said that the protest did not involve interests and he was just expressing his personal opinions
但他呼朋喚友拉大隊，當中多少人是他的選民，又有否涉及政治利益？
However among the people who participated in the protest; how many of them are his electorates and is political interest involved?
《基本法》說明政府須向立法會負責，可能他看錯了，以為是立法會須向政府負責。
While the Basic Law specifies that the Government shall be accountable to the Legislative Council he may wrongly think that the Legislative Council shall be accountable to the Government
政府須向立法會負責，便等同行政長官須向立法會負責，但他卻倒過來，可能因為他想到《基本法》提到北京在有需要時可以就有關事情指令特首，於是想到梁振英現時指示 他，可能因為北京指示特首再指示他，說不定這是太上皇的指示。
If the Government shall be accountable to the Legislative Council it means that the Chief Executive shall be accountable to the Legislative Council . But he has turned it the other way round . As the Basic Law mentions that Beijing may issue directives to the Chief Executive when necessary he may think that the directives he now received from LEUNG Chun - ying indirectly come from Beijing as Beijing has issued directives to LEUNG Chun - ying and then LEUNG Chun - ying has given directives to him hence those directives may come from the supreme ruler
雖然山高，但皇帝原來不太遠，真是與有榮焉，說不定還會有些延後利益，會否黃袍加身？
Although the mountain is high the emperor is not too far away and he really feels honoured . There may also be some deferred benefits will he be highly honoured?
現在我們要譴責周浩鼎議員，最終要取消他的議員資格，這個理由不適用了吧？
We are going to censure Mr Holden CHOW with the ultimate aim of disqualifying him from office . The above reason concerning a short tenure does not apply anymore right?
沒有時間限制了吧？
There is no time limit right?
除非周浩鼎議員引咎辭職，這樣便大家happy，不用再討論下去。
If Mr Holden CHOW takes the blame and resigns we will all be happy and we do not need to discuss the matter anymore
他的確有錯，做得不夠好，但他沒有道歉，亦沒有說這完全傷害立法會的聲譽。
He has made mistakes by not doing a good job but he has not apologized and admitted that his act would undermine the reputation of the Legislative Council
石禮謙議員很講道理，但他就彈劾梁振英的議案發言時說，這件事是"不堪、難看、荒天下之大謬，但罪不至死"。
Mr Abraham SHEK is very reasonable but when he spoke on the motion to impeach LEUNG Chun - ying he said that the incident was awfully appalling and absurd but not serious enough to have someone beheaded
沒有人想別人死，我們一點都不血腥，但他們說譴責沒有所謂，要取消議員資格的話，是否太誇張，太過分？
We do not wish to see someone beheaded; we do not have a lust for blood . They think it is acceptable to censure Mr Holden CHOW but disqualifying him from office is over the top
李慧琼議員勸周浩鼎議員，做得不好便要承認，而且不要氣餒。
Ms Starry LEE advised Mr Holden CHOW to admit if he has not done his job well and that he should not be discouraged
最奇怪的是，究竟民建聯包括李慧琼議員事前是否知悉這宗醜聞？
Oddly was DAB including Ms Starry LEE aware of the scandal beforehand?
我曾在公開場合窮追猛打追問譚耀宗，但他沒有回答。
I had repeatedly asked TAM Yiu - chung this question in public but he had not answered me
他們罵得很兇狠，好像要以血滴子取人首級一樣。
Their criticisms were vicious as if they wanted to cut off others heads
我們譴責周浩鼎議員的議案，我們希望能夠成立調查委員會，調查應該要調查的事。
Regarding the motion to censure Mr Holden CHOW we hope that an investigation committee can be set up to investigate what should be investigated
我相信全部泛民同事都會支持，希望建制派不要為了一個嘍囉而自失身份。
I believe all the pan - democratic colleagues will render support and I hope that pro - establishment Members will not give up their dignity for a lackey
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：毛孟靜議員動議的議案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the motion moved by Ms Claudia MO be passed
按照《議事規則》第49B條，辯論中止待續，議案所述的事宜交付調查委員會處理。
In accordance with Rule 49B2A of the Rules of Procedure the debate is adjourned and the matter stated in the motion is referred to an investigation committee
但是，以我一把年紀，事實的確是這樣。
That said as a person of my years that is the case
當時，我是全職記者，清楚記得這一役，在倉促購買機票飛往北京的4小時內，腦海裏只有一首我早前學會唱的共產黨的歌，叫"我的祖國"，歌詞的首句是，"一條大河波浪寬"，非常有華人傳統。
Being a full - time journalist back then I could vividly recollect what happened in those days . During the four hours when I rushed to buy an air ticket to Beijing my mind was only filled with a Chinese communist song My Motherland that I learnt to sing earlier . The first line of the lyrics is a great river flows its waves wide and calm
我們當年的感覺是基於當時的時代氣氛和思潮，當時是1989年，而主權移交是1997年，仍有一段時間。
The feelings we harboured back then were attributable to the ambience and ideological trend at the time . The year was 1989 and there was still some time before the handover of sovereignty in 1997
現在回顧過去，可以說香港人太天真、太傻，但絕大部分人真的相信民主回歸。
Looking back one may say that Hong Kong people were too naïve and too simple - minded but most of the people back then did believe in democratic reunification
我仍然一直擔任全職記者，歷史已證明，殖民主義不可能是好東西。
I still worked as a full - time journalist then . History has proved that colonialism cannot possibly be a good thing
我父母一代來香港，只是打算暫時寄人籬下。
My parents came to Hong Kong with the intent for a short stay
這一種中國人的感情現在是不是煙消雲散呢？
Has the sentiment of being Chinese vanished nowadays?
不至於百分之百。
Not absolutely
當時不斷提到的4個字是"血濃於水"，而很多人真的認同這說法，將20元、100元、500元的紙幣投入捐款箱。
The words frequently said in those days were blood is thicker than water . Many members of the public did endorse this remark and they put 20 100 and 500 into donation boxes
今年是2017年，我們說的只不過是9年前的事。
It is now 2017 we are talking about incidents that happened some nine years ago
這9年發生了甚麼事，令現在的年輕人對中國人這個身份這麼反感？
What has actually happened over the nine years such that young people nowadays are so repulsed by the Chinese identity?
香港這麼多年來悼念六四，口號是悼念死難同胞，現在的年輕人覺得，有好處時便說大家是同胞，沒有好處時便被批評不愛國，或者在大學校園內，大陸生被視為國際生。
Hong Kong people have been commemorating the 4 June incident for many years . Regarding the slogan remembering the compatriots killed in the incident young people nowadays think that they are called compatriots when benefits are involved and if there are no benefits they will be criticized for not loving the country . In universities Mainland students are considered international students
將大陸生視為國際生，似乎是在大學校園內搞港獨。
To treat Mainland students as international students is like advocating Hong Kong independence in university campuses
國際應該涉及國與國，大陸生為甚麼是國際生，不是同胞嗎？
By international it should involve countries and nations . How come Mainland students are treated as international students? . Are they not compatriots?
另一句六四的口號，大家應該耳熟能詳，即"建設民主中國"。
Another slogan for the 4 June incident is build a democratic China which Members must be very familiar with
但是，亦有年輕人說，喊了28年，難以再接受這口號。
However for some young people this slogan has been chanted for 28 years and they are fed up with it
