這會否令大家在考慮這個package或所謂套餐時，變成沒有選擇，甚至對於自己認為是"過了火位"的選項，也不能有不同的取態？
Will it leave Members with no choice in considering this package of amendments and even make it impossible for Members to take a different position towards proposals that they consider overdone?
當然，我知道要說服大家並不容易，但我想指出，就這次對《議事規則》的修訂，已有兩位前立法會主席分別表示，《議事規則》如要作出這麼重大的改變，非常有可能涉及違憲的問題。
Of course I understand that it is not easy for Members to be convinced . But I wish to point out that with regard to these amendments to RoP two former Presidents of the Legislative Council have said separately that such major changes to RoP are very likely to involve the question of unconstitutionality
即使主席你所聘用的獨立法律人員的意見，也指出這是一個很可能違憲的高危動作。
Even the independent legal opinion obtained by you President also pointed out that these amendments may run high risks of being unconstitutional
當然，廖長江議員亦另聘其他大律師提供意見，而他們亦提供了平衡的看法，故最終主席決定將議案提交到大會，讓大家討論。
Of course Mr Martin LIAO has sought opinions from other counsel who provided a balancing view and so the President eventually decided that the motion be tabled to this Council for discussion by Members
然而，很清楚的是，作為立法會議員，我們是否應該或是否需要冒這個險，也就是為了做一件事而面對違憲的風險？
But clearly enough the question is whether we being Members of the Legislative Council should or need to run this risk or face the risk of unconstitutionality in doing this thing
可能最大的改變是在全體委員會的階段，必須要有35位同事在席，因而令大家辛苦一點，只是這樣而已。
The biggest change probably has to do with the Committee stage which requires the presence of 35 Members in the Chamber and so this may be a bit hard to Members but that is all
如果是這樣，有關的改動似乎不 是根本性的問題，而是35人或20人在席的問題。
Such being case it seems that this amendment is not a question of fundamental principle but one about the presence of 35 Members or 20 Members
如果是這樣，我們是否應該認真思考，如果35人在席不用違反《基本法》，而20人在席會違反或有可能違反《基本法》，令我們要面對這種憲制風險的話，我們是否應該慎思而行呢？
If so should we seriously think about this If the presence of 35 Members can be spared the risk of contravening the Basic Law whereas the presence of 20 Members will or may contravene the Basic Law and hence cause us to face the risk of unconstitutionality should we not think about it carefully before taking such a step?
事實上，作為議會，立法會最重要的職能是議事論事。
In fact the most important duty of the Legislative Council as a parliamentary assembly is to discuss and deliberate on issues
當然，今天大家感到很辛苦，因為你們一直面對的挑戰，似乎均是我們民主派向保皇黨的挑戰，是我們令你們要在會議廳內"坐定定"；但難保有一天，可能自由黨也要面對同樣的情況，需要運用這種手段和工具，就着其業界的利益提出意見，希望能夠向政府施加壓力。
Of course Members are stressed out by attendance at meetings because of the challenges that they have been facing which seem to be entirely challenges from us in the pro - democracy camp to the pro - Government camp and they think that it is all because of us that they have to remain seated all the time in this Chamber . However we never know if the Liberal Party may face the same situation one day where they need this means or tool to put forward views in the interest of their sectors hoping to exert pressure on the Government
我最記得自由黨的同事對於印花稅非常反感，在各種不同的會議和場合均指出印花稅這"辣招"扭曲了整個房地產市場，甚至是令今天樓價飆升的其中一個元兇。
I recall most clearly that colleagues of the Liberal Party took great aversion to the stamp duty and they pointed out at various meetings and on various occasions that the curb measures concerning the stamp duty had distorted the entire real estate market and that they were even a chief culprit causing property prices to soar nowadays . Try to think about this
試想一下，如果他們堅持到底，要真正面對自己業界的利益或向選民負責的話，我相信他們也會千方百計地想方法，希望能夠令政府接納他們提出的建議或改動。所以，《議事規則》總是家家有求的情況，而在作出修訂後，只會令整個議會......
If they persevered till the end to truly uphold the interest of their sectors or be accountable to their constituents I believe they would rack their brains to come up with a way that can make the Government accept the proposals or the changes suggested by them
主席已經大權在握，正如《議事規則》第44條已訂明主席的裁決是最終的裁決，不容挑戰；但今次對《議事規則》的修訂更是將更多的權力送到主席的手上，包括議員是否可以無經預告提出議案，也必須得到主席同意才能提出。
Therefore RoP will suit the respective ends of all parties and the amendments would only cause the entire Council The President already has great powers as RoP 44 provides that the Presidents decision shall be final meaning that it shall not be subject to challenge . But these amendments to RoP will further place even more powers into the hands of the President . For instance the consent of the President is required for a Member to move a motion without notice
如果連這些權力也不要，那麼立法會便只能淪為橡皮圖章，一個只能做橡皮圖章的立法會是否大家的目標？
If we give up even these powers then the Legislative Council could only degenerate into a rubber stamp . If a Legislative Council can do nothing except to act as a rubber stamp could that be the objective of Members?
況且，在議會內長時間辯論或詳細的質詢，亦是我們作為議員必須履行的職責，我們是否連這些工作也不需要做？
Moreover it is a duty required of us as Members to conduct long debates or ask questions in detail in this Council . Is it that we do not even need to discharge these duties?
是否我們提供不同思考角度也等於"阻頭阻勢"？
Are we taken as posing obstacles when we are just providing a different angle for consideration?
如果效率可以凌駕工人的利益，為何今天工聯會的同事仍然要聲嘶力竭地爭取集體談判權呢？
If efficiency can override labour interest why do colleagues in FTU still have to shout themselves hoarse to fight for the right to collective bargaining now?
因為天地初開時他們根本沒有盡責任，今天又憑甚麼告訴人他們有理由為集體談判權奮鬥和努力呢？
Because right from the outset they did not duly fulfil their responsibility and so on what ground they are telling us today that they have reasons to strive for the right to collective bargaining and exert themselves for this cause?
如果今天重頭再來，政府"霸王硬上弓"，告訴大家一定不讓工人有集體談判權，我相信工聯會會與我們民主派同心合力阻擋政府這種態度和惡法，是否這樣呢？
If the same should happen again today and the Government is going to bulldoze its proposal through this Council telling us that there is definitely no way for workers to have the right to collective bargaining I believe FTU would join us in the pro - democracy camp and work with us to resist this attitude and this draconian law of the Government would they not?
因為工聯會作為工人代表，這樣才能維護工人，才能代表他們的民意聲音。
Because FTU is the representative of workers and only in this way can it protect workers and only in this way can it echo the voices of the people
就第二十三條的立法能否真正做到不損害自由？
Can the legislation on Article 23 of the Basic Law really assure integrity of our freedoms?
立法後是否不會引發市民不滿、不會引發大規模示威，以及不會影響言論自由呢？
Is it that no public discontent would be aroused no large - scale demonstration would be triggered and the freedom of speech would remain unaffected after the enactment of the legislation?
一項法案不能經過詳細辯論，讓社會發酵和接納，豈不是回到專權的社會，而且令《基本法》所訂明的多項有關立法會職能的條文蕩然無存？
If a bill cannot be debated in detail to allow a process of fermentation before its acceptance in society does it not mean a return to autocracy? . And regarding the many Basic Law provisions setting out the duties and functions of the Legislative Council would they not be rendered useless and virtually non - existent?
事實上，議會除了負責立法的工作外，其實簡單來說，便是要處理不同的政治立場和不同的民生立場，透過對話尋找社會能夠接受的共識和方案，希望能夠迫使政府改變，特別是今天的議會，因為我們要面對的是分組點票。如果政府不肯改變，在分組點票下，大家也看到一些經常出現的荒謬結果，便是議會內大多數同事贊同的議案最終也被否決。
In fact apart from lawmaking the role of this Council is simply put to deal with different political positions and different positions on the peoples livelihood and through dialogues seek consensuses and identify proposals that are acceptable to society with a view to forcing the Government to change . This is especially important in this Council nowadays because we are faced with the system of separate voting and in the event that the Government refused to change under separate voting we often see results that are sheer absurdities in that motions supported by a majority of colleagues in this Council are eventually negatived
這個議會失衡的問題，是否能夠透過修訂《議事規則》便能解決呢？
Regarding the imbalance in this Council can it be addressed through these amendments to RoP?
如果議會完全失效，淪落至好像臨時立法會或全國人民代表大會般，當議會不再作為解決社會衝突矛盾的平台時，不同的政治及民生主張只會在社會上透過各種社會行動來彰顯，如果是這樣，社會的矛盾和問題亦只能夠透過社會行動來表達和宣泄，試問這怎能為香港社會帶來良好管治呢？
If this Council has become completely ineffective and degenerated to the extent that it is likened to the Provisional Legislative Council or the National Peoples Congress and when this Council no longer serves as a platform for resolution of social conflicts and confrontations the different positions on political issues and the peoples livelihood would only be reflected through various kinds of social movements and in that eventuality social conflicts and problems could likewise be expressed and vented only through social movements . So how could this bring forth good governance to Hong Kong society?
所以，我在此很認真而嚴肅地呼籲同事認真思考，修改《議事規則》會否為我們的政府和社會帶來更好的管治呢？
Therefore I seriously and solemnly appeal to Honourable colleagues here to carefully think about whether the amendment of RoP would bring forth better governance for our Government and society
今早，我們只不過用了5分鐘便提出要求就兩項事宜成立專責委員會。
This morning we spent only five minutes on requesting the setting up of a select committee on two issues respectively
有人可能認為這樣做是"阻頭阻勢"，但客觀上，這才是賦予議會內少數派權力，只要20人提出，便可把某些社會關心的事情交由專責委員會審議，否則，當這些事情只能留給屬大多數的政黨和大多數的板塊處理時，這絕非公道的議會行為。
Some people may think that we are posing obstacles but if we look at it objectively this is meant to empower the minority in this Council to refer certain issues of public concern to a select committee with only 20 Members sponsoring the request . Otherwise if these issues can be dealt with only by the majority parties or the sector that is in the majority this is absolutely not fair parliamentary conduct
主席，我發言支持楊岳橋議員提出的中止待續議案。
President I rise to speak in support of the adjournment motion proposed by Mr Alvin YEUNG
有多迫切要在星期一之前通過呢？
Is it so urgent that it must be passed by Monday?
楊岳橋議員也提出修訂建議，其中一項修訂第92條，訂明就《議事規則》未有規定的程序，立法會主席可諮詢議事規則委員會。
Mr Alvin YEUNG has also proposed several amendments one of which amends RoP 92 to stipulate that the President of the Legislative Council may consult the Committee on Rules of Procedure on procedures not provided for in RoP
陳淑莊議員就其修訂建議發言之後，我同樣不覺得......
Similarly after Ms Tanya CHAN had spoken on her proposed amendments I did not find I will not read out their contents less the President will rebuke me
既然不明白，為何要花時間討論這些東西，而其他所有事項都要讓步呢？
Given this lack of understanding why should we spend time on discussing these things while all other items have to give way?
難道我們或特區政府覺得應該在此刻削弱議員的權力，讓政府可以無所不為嗎？
Can we or the Special Administrative Region Government possibly hold that Members power should be undermined right now so that the Government can just do anything?
做了這許多工夫之後，我看不到真的可以令立法會把自己的功能和角色發揮得更好，反而不自覺地引用涂謹申議員的說法從政治角度考量，令整件事變成以往"689"年代的政治鬥爭，這是否必要呢？
After making all these efforts I cannot see how the amendment exercise can genuinely enable the Legislative Council to give better play to its functions and roles . On the contrary we have unwittingly―in Mr James TOs words―making consideration from the political angle turned the whole matter into a political struggle like the past during the times of 689 . Is this necessary?
有意見認為，現時長者相關專科的醫生人手已捉襟見肘，而長者人口未來將倍增會令情況更加嚴峻。
There are views that the existing manpower of medical practitioners in the elderly - related specialties has already been stretched to the limit and the elderly population doubling in future will aggravate the situation
主席，就楊岳橋議員質詢的各部分，我答覆如下： 一 醫院管理局以跨專業團隊的方式，由醫生、護士、專職醫療人員和支援醫護人員提供紓緩治療及長者醫療服務。
President my reply to the various parts of Mr Alvin YEUNGs question is as follows 1 The Hospital Authority HA provides palliative care and elderly health care services through multi - disciplinary teams comprising doctors nurses allied health professionals and supporting grade staff
為策劃和進一步提升醫管局紓緩治療服務的質素，維持紓緩治療服務的持續發展，以及應付不斷增加的需求，醫管局在今年制訂了《紓緩治療服務策略》，規劃紓緩治療服務在未來5至10年的發展方向，並就如何改善成人和兒童的紓緩治療服務釐定了策略方針。
In order to plan and further enhance the quality and sustainability of its palliative care service as well as to cope with the increasing demand HA developed the Strategic Service Framework for Palliative Care this year so as to guide the development of palliative care service for the coming five to 10 years . Strategies and directions for improving adult and paediatric palliative care were also formulated
老人科為內科下的一個分科，長者病人是內科服務的主要使用者。
Geriatrics is a subspecialty under the specialty of medicine of which elderly patients are the major service users
截至2016年年底，醫管局一共有1,292名醫生從事內科專科。
As at the end of 2016 there were 1 292 doctors working in the specialty of medicine under HA
就此，局長在主體答覆中只提及現時約有1300名內科專科醫生，她其實答非所問。
In this regard the Secretary only mentioned in the main reply that there are now about 1 300 doctors working in the specialty of medicine but her reply actually did not address the issue
我最想知道的是，究竟本屆政府有何具體策略培訓相關的專科醫生，以應付未來的"人口海嘯"呢？
What I want to know most of all is what specific strategies the present - term Government has to train the said specialists so as to cope with the future population tsunami?
當局剛制訂《策略》，規劃紓緩治療服務在未來5至10年的發展方向，並就如何改善成人和兒童的紓緩治療服務釐定了策略方針。
The Framework was developed to guide the direction of development of palliative care service for the coming 5 to 10 years . Strategies and directions for improving adult and paediatric palliative care were also formulated
我們的大前提，是由紓緩治療團隊處理情況較複雜而需要紓緩治療服務的病人，而我們的建議是所有醫護人員皆需要對紓緩治療有基本認識，讓他們在日常工作中可以在這方面發揮得更好。
Our overriding principle is for the palliative care team to take care of patients with complex palliative care needs and according to our proposal all health care colleagues have to acquire a basic understanding of the concepts and principles of palliative care so as to perform even better in this area in their daily work
主席，香港去年有46000多人死亡，在醫管局轄下醫院中死亡的人數佔此數超過九成，但醫管局只有360張紓緩治療病床。
President over 46 000 people died in Hong Kong last year and those who died in hospitals under HA accounted for over 90 % of them . However only 360 palliative care beds are provided by HA
長期護理小組委員會剛就這項議題進行討論，而我亦感謝醫管局在討論前安排委員探訪明愛醫院的紓緩治療病房。
The Joint Subcommittee on Long - term Care Policy recently discussed this subject and I am also grateful to HA for arranging for a visit to the palliative care ward of the Caritas Medical Centre for its members prior to the discussion
我們發現，病房應該可以容納40張病床，但在探訪時卻看到病房只放置了26張紓緩治療病床。
We found that the ward could accommodate 40 beds but during our visit there were only 26 palliative care beds in the ward
由此證明，我們現在所缺乏的未必是地方，人手和資源有更迫切需要。
It shows that what we lack now may not be space rather there is an even more urgent need for manpower and resources
局長就楊岳橋議員的質詢所作的主體答覆沒有說明未來如何培訓更多醫療和社福人才，以提供適切的醫療及社福方面的紓緩治療服務。
The main reply given by the Secretary to Mr Alvin YEUNGs question did not tell us how more workers in health care and social welfare will be trained in the future to provide appropriate palliative care service in health care and social welfare settings
請問局長，鑒於現時的情況如此惡劣，而雖然醫管局轄下醫院有地方，但卻沒有擺放病床，究竟當局有何具體計劃盡快提供更多培訓、資源和人手，以解決對紓緩治療服務的需求？
In view of such terrible conditions at present and although spaces are available in hospitals under HA where no beds are placed what are the specific plans to provide more training resources and manpower as quickly as possible so as to meet the need for palliative care service?
主席，多謝張超雄議員提出的補充質詢。
President I thank Dr Fernando CHEUNG for his supplementary question
醫管局致力加強紓緩治療服務。
HA strives to strengthen palliative care service
正如我剛才提及，我們剛制訂整體的《策略》，而醫管局近年亦已增撥資源，以改善服務模式及加強跨專業服務，從而減輕病人身心所承受的痛苦，令他們臨終前的生活質素得以改善。
As I said just now we developed the comprehensive Framework and in recent years HA has also allocated additional resources to improving the service model and strengthening multi - disciplinary service so as to ease patients physical and mental suffering and improve their quality of life before death
舉例而言，在2018-2019年度，醫管局會加強紓緩治療服務，包括家居護理、會診，以及向居於安老院舍的末期病人提供護理和支援。
For example in 2018 - 2019 HA will strengthen palliative care service including home care joint consultations and the provision of care and support to terminal patients staying at homes for the elderly
醫管局也會加強針對兒童的紓緩治療服務，以及優化專業人手的培訓。
HA will also strengthen paediatric palliative care service and improve training for professionals
所以，在人手方面，我們會着墨更多，尤其是加強人員培訓。
Therefore we will pay greater attention to manpower in particular strengthening the training of staff
上述工作將涉及額外44名護士和2名醫生。
The aforementioned measures will entail an additional 44 nurses and two doctors
他們可能並非希望可以痊癒，而是希望在人生的最後一程能夠沒有痛苦、安樂而有尊嚴地離開。
What they hope for is probably not getting a cure but leaving the world without suffering in peace and with dignity in the final leg of their journey of life
不過，醫管局或政府的資源過去主要投放在治療方面，忽略了病人在人生最後一程的需要。
However in the past the resources of HA or the Government were allocated mainly to curative care to the neglect of patients needs at the final stage of their life
當身處公立醫院的長者病人離世時，他們的家人連送別及站立的地方也沒有，因為身旁已放滿病床，而且醫院不設特別房間，讓他們完成人生的最後一程。
When elderly patients in public hospitals are dying there is not even any space for their family members to bid farewell or stand because there are beds all around them . Moreover no special rooms are provided in hospitals for these patients in the final leg of their journey of life
此外，紓緩治療服務亦涉及日間護理，就診人次達9,560。
In addition palliative care service also involves day care and the attendance stood at 9 560
由此可見，病床和病房是其中一個方面，主要關乎較複雜的個案。
It can thus be seen that beds and wards are one of the aspects and they mainly involve more complex cases
所以，我們未來的策略是在不同範疇加強這方面的服務。
Therefore our strategy in the future is to strengthen the services in this regard in various settings
按照政府提供的人手資料，現時只有40名醫生、300名護士及60名專職醫療人員，我認為人手並不足夠。
According to the information on manpower provided by the Government at present there are only 40 doctors 300 nurses and 60 allied health professionals so I consider the manpower insufficient
醫管局會根據整體服務規劃機制，按服務需求、人手流動、醫療技術發展、人口增長和人口結構轉變等因素評估及開展服務，並會檢討不同服務及職系的人手編制。
HA will follow the overall service planning mechanism in assessing and launching services according to such factors as population growth and changes advancement of medical technology and health care manpower and will review the staff establishment for various services and grades
我們明白人手的重要性，所以我們會在這方面作出適當調整。
We appreciate the importance of manpower and will make appropriate adjustments in this regard
主席，局長沒有答覆我的補充質詢。
President the Secretary did not answer my supplementary question
你有甚麼規程問題？
What is your point of order?
朱議員，這並非規程問題。
Mr CHU Hoi - dick this is not a point of order
作為一個前言，我想指出，今天下午曾有數位同事提出休會待續的建議，而主席，我是很認真地提出休會待續的建議。
As a foreword I would like to point out that proposals for the adjournment of debate were put forth by a few Honourable colleagues this afternoon . President I am serious in proposing the adjournment of the debate
對於萬一本會因通過這項修訂而可能面對的法律挑戰，我們能否共同承擔呢？
In the event that this Council faces a legal challenge due to the passage of this amendment can we bear it together?
主席，言歸正傳，我看到建制派同事的邏輯有"三步曲"。
I note that the logic of colleagues from the pro - establishment camp includes the three - step process
首先，第一步是由於立法會出現"拉布"的情況，而且越來越嚴重，所以，第二步便提出要集合社會的力量來反"拉布"，而第三步便是採取最有效的具體方法，亦即修改《議事規則》。
The first step is to state that the problem of filibusters in the Legislative Council is becoming serious . Hence they propose the second step that is to muster the power in the community to oppose filibusters . The third step is to adopt a specific approach with the maximum effect that is to amend RoP
我認為這3步也有各自不正確之處，而這些不正確的地方加起來，令我認為應該支持楊岳橋議員根據第401條提出將辯論中止待續的議案，即有關討論應予中止，不應進入下一階段的主體辯論。
In my view some of the arguments in each of these three steps are wrong . And with all these incorrect arguments combined I consider it necessary to support the motion of adjournment of debate proposed by Mr Alvin YEUNG under RoP 401 which means the discussion should be stopped and we should not enter the main debate of the next stage
我回看美國參議院的例子，基本上參議員是可以無限次發言的，主席不能停止一名議員的發言。
As seen in the case of the Senate of the United States senators are fundamentally allowed to speak for unlimited times and the President of the Senate cannot prevent senators from asking questions
他們並設有一個機制，只要五分之三的參議員認為時間過長，便可以中止，但決定的並不是主席。
A mechanism is in place where a debate may be stopped if three fifths of the Senate consider it too long yet this is not decided by the President
我認為本會真正有意義的辯論，或說得上是透過"拉布"製造張力，令政府以至建制派願意共同坐下來談判的，其實便是全體委員會階段。
In my view it is at the Committee stage that meaningful debates of this Council are carried out and that filibusters may create tension prompting the Government and the pro - establishment camp to come to the table to negotiate
全體委員會階段是本會唯一可以進行有意義的辯論，讓大家可以互相爭論和不斷進行辯論，以及可以無限次發言的場合。
The Committee stage is the only venue where meaningful debates are conducted in the Council for Members may present their arguments and refute others arguments in the course of the continued debate during which Members are allowed to speak for unlimited times
可是，自前主席曾鈺成數年前在財政預算案辯論中作出"剪布"的決定，以至其後終審法院作出的裁決，其實香港的立法會已經無法"拉布"。
However former President Jasper TSANG made the decision of cutting short such debate on the Budget a few years ago and the Court of Final Appeal subsequently made its ruling on the issue . Since then filibusters have been rendered utterly impossible in the Legislative Council of Hong Kong
如果立法會被視為有"拉布"的存在，把很多問題"拖死"了，倒過來要怎樣說呢？
If it is considered that there are filibusters in the Legislative Council many issues will be dragged to death . How can I explain it the other way round?
我最近看到民建聯在九龍西的宣傳是"分秒必爭"，我沒有說分秒必爭是錯，但如果用來形容立法會，我認為會跌入滑坡的狀態。
Recently I noted from the publicity material of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB in Kowloon West the slogan stressing every second counts . I am not saying that it is wrong to seize the time . Yet if this is made the portrayal of the Legislative Council I think we will fall into the slippery slope fallacy
因此，對於第二步，由於我不認為我們的立法會有"拉布"的存在，我不同意建制派以"分秒必爭"這口號、好像議員說話也有問題的方法進行政治宣傳，這是一種愚民的宣傳，會導致市民與深思熟慮的公民社會狀態離開得越來越遠。
Hence regarding this second step of the pro - establishment camp I disagree with their slogan of every minute counts for I disagree that there are filibusters in the Legislative Council . The political propaganda seems to suggest that it is wrong for Members to make speeches and this obscurantist approach will lead the public farther away from a civil society guided by careful consideration
至於第三步，主席，建制派對甚麼是"拉布"出現一種我認為是偏見的想法後，接着他們便有反"拉布"的宣傳，然後具體落實的做法便是修改《議事規則》。
As for the third step President I think the pro - establishment camp is obsessed with this prejudice against filibusters in my opinion . For this reason they have come up with the anti - filibuster publicity and finally come to the specific step of amending RoP
主席，如果立法會根本沒有所謂"拉布"而只有積極議事，解決方法其實非常簡單，便是召開更多會議。
President if there are no filibusters but only proactive debates in the Legislative Council the solution will be extremely simple increase the number of meetings
本屆立法會相比曾鈺成主席那一屆，無論是通宵舉行會議的次數或每次會議的時間，其實都有所減少。
Compared with the previous Legislative Council with Jasper TSANG as the President the number of overnight meetings and the duration of each meeting of the current Legislative Council have been reduced
最近我的好朋友姚松炎覺得如果建制派同事堅持要以反"拉布"來進行宣傳，我們應該進行另一種宣傳，那便是反偷懶。
Recently my best friend YIU Chung - yim expressed the view that if colleagues from the pro - establishment camp insisted on using anti - filibuster as their publicity strategy we should launch the alternative publicity on anti - laziness
這種一勞永逸的心態其實非常危險，因為看得負面一點，一勞永逸其實是壽終正寢。
This once - and - for - all attitude is extremely dangerous . To put it in a relatively negative way once and for all would mean death
先不談是否合理，先說究竟提出這項《議事規則》修訂建議來提高有關門檻與反"拉布"有何關係呢？
Putting aside the question of whether it is reasonable . Let us talk about exactly how such a proposed amendment to RoP to raise the threshold is related to anti - filibuster
其實，根本是沒有關係。
Indeed it is not related at all
所以，我們真的要問建制派議員究竟目的何在？
Therefore we really need to ask Members from the pro - establishment camp what is their intention?
其實他們欺騙市民，我也希望大家明白，議會現時正在發生的事情。
They are actually deceiving the people . I also hope that we can all understand what is happening in the Council now
根據《基本法》第六十四條，行政機關要向立法機關負責。
Under Article 64 of the Basic Law the executive must be accountable to the legislature
這間接剝奪了《基本法》賦予立法會議員包括民主派議員，不單建制派議員履行立法會職權的權力。因此，這違反了《基本法》的精神。
The practice will indirectly strip Legislative Council Members both pro - democracy and pro - establishment Members included of their powers conferred by the Basic Law to fulfil their functions which indeed violates the spirit of the Basic Law
故此，議會充斥着保皇黨，"遊戲規則"亦被修改了，民主派議員便無法履行《基本法》交託我們的憲政責任。
The Council is filled with pro - Government Members and the rules of the game have been changed . Pro - democracy Members are unable to filful the constitutional responsibility entrusted to us by the Basic Law
這違反了《基本法》，令香港的政治制度失衡。
This is in breach of the Basic Law and creates an imbalance in Hong Kongs political system
