我們全年度一共通過了40項條例，審批了超過3,200億元撥款。
We passed a total of 40 ordinances and approved funds totalling over 320 billion for the whole year
我們雖然人少，只有42人，但體現了高質素、高效率，並且能夠發揮監察政府的職能。
Despite a smaller number of Members with only 42 of them we have demonstrated high quality high efficiency and the ability to exercise our function of monitoring the Government
新一屆立法會將會增加至90個議席，由於反中亂港分子無法再透過立法會平台"攬炒"香港，而《議事規則》和《內務守則》亦已作出全面檢討和修訂，我有信心立法會將會迎來新景象，務實政治將重新成為社會的主流價值。
The number of seats in the new Legislative Council will be increased to 90 . Since anti - China elements which have disrupted Hong Kong can no longer tamper with Hong Kong through the Legislative Council platform and the Rules of Procedure and the House Rules have been comprehensively reviewed and amended I am confident that the Legislative Council will see a brand new picture and pragmatic politics will become the mainstream value of society again
社會各界對新一屆立法會的表現有很高的期望。
Various sectors of society have high expectations for the performance of the new Legislative Council
我特別想借助這次機會指出，建制派過去在參政和議政期間，因為觀點和角度不同，曾經出現互相攻擊，甚至無理的標籤和謾罵。
In particular I would like to take this opportunity to point out that in the past Members from the pro - establishment camp had attacked labelled and even vituperated each other unreasonably because of different points of view and perspectives during political participation and deliberation
經歷了接近兩年的疫情，怎樣恢復經濟動力、改善住屋等複雜的民生問題，才是我們目前最關鍵的課題。
After almost two years of the pandemic how to restore the economic momentum and address the complicated livelihood issues like housing is the most crucial assignment for us now
我認為，即使昔日有任何恩恩怨怨， 建制派亦應團結一致，以大局為重。
In my opinion even if there were any grudges and grievances in the past Members from the pro - establishment camp should be united and take the overall situation into consideration
縱使時代變、社會變，但我相信我們服務社會的初衷不會改變。
Even though the times have changed and society has changed I believe that our original intention to serve the community will not change
所以，我們應該上下一心，支持特區政府依法施政，共同解決香港的深層次矛盾問題。
Therefore we should be united and support the SAR Government to govern according to the law and resolve the deep - seated conflicts in Hong Kong together
如果大家可以坦誠溝通，做到和而不同，才是香港最大的福氣。
If we can communicate with each other honestly and achieve harmony in diversity it will be the greatest blessing to Hong Kong
主席，香港抗疫之路已經走了接近兩年，新一屆立法會任重道遠。
President Hong Kong has been fighting the pandemic for almost two years and the new Legislative Council has to shoulder heavy responsibilities on its long journey
在座的議員，很多都是身經百戰，而且才高八斗，今天過後，我相信大家一定會繼續以不同方式為香港服務。
Many Members here are well experienced and highly talented . After this meeting today I am sure we will continue to serve Hong Kong in different ways
我最記得當年有議員擲蕉，一位極資深的民主派議員對我說，立法會是一個莊嚴立法的地方，如果立法會也沒有規矩，年青人一定有樣學樣。
I remember vividly that when Members threw a banana back then a very senior Member of the pro - democracy camp expressed to me that the Legislative Council was a solemn venue for the enactment of legislation and young people would definitely follow suit when rules were not observed here in this Council
教壞年青人容易，將他們重新教好則非常困難。
It would be easy to cause a bad influence on young people but leading them back to the right track is an extremely difficult task
事實上，在第六屆立法會期間，各種衝擊、搗亂、拖慢議會的手法層出不窮，不斷惡化。
As a matter of fact during the Sixth Legislative Council numerous tricks have come up incessantly to cause disruption to create disturbances in and delay operation of this Council and the situation has kept deteriorating
同時，在有計劃的煽動之下，社會對暴力的接受程度亦不斷上升，甚至有人鼓吹暴力可以解決問題，又有計劃地摧毀香港人守法、包容的核心價值，聲稱暴力是政府迫出來的，把暴力合理化。
Meanwhile with a plan to deliberately incite the public more and more people in the community have considered the use of violence acceptable and some have even advocated that violence could be used to solve problems . There have also been plans to systematically destroy the core values of Hong Kong people in being law - abiding and inclusive claiming that people have been forced by the Government to use violence thus rationalizing the use of violence
這種把香港人心智劣質化的謬論，確實影響了香港一兩代人的思維，令他們變得很偏激。
Such fallacies which have lowered the quality of minds of some Hong Kong people have indeed affected the mentality of one or two generations of Hong Kong people and they have therefore developed an overly radical mindset
現時很多人在作出判斷時不是看事實，也不考慮理據，只按政治立場判斷對方是朋友還是敵人。
Some people nowadays seldom take facts and justifications into consideration when making judgments and they tend to only use a persons political stance determine whether the person is a friend or an enemy
這種非友即敵的思維方式，相信將會長期影響香港人，要有相當長時間的治療和糾正，才有希望復原。
It is believed that some Hong Kong people will be under the influence of such an mentality of treating others either as a friend or as a foe for a considerable period of time and only with prolonged treatment and rectification will there be hope for their recovery
在今次"黑暴"中，我感到最可惜和最痛心的依然是年青人。
With regard to the black - clad violence incidents the participation of young people is after all the most regrettable and heart - rending part for me
年青人通常比較熱血、激情，但欠缺實際社會經驗，特別是較年輕的中學生，很容易被一些經過美化和浪漫化的口號吸引，被人利用作一些違法的行為。
Young people are often enthusiastic and passionate but they lack practical social experience especially secondary students of younger age . They will be very easily attracted by beautified and romanticized slogans and then be used for committing illegal acts
今次暴亂中，"黑暴"的幕後主腦正是利用年青人這個特點，煽動他們參加暴亂。
During the riots in question the masterminds behind the black - clad violence have exactly made use of such characteristics of young people to instigate them to participate in the riots
年青人可能只是聽了三數似是而非的口號便信以為真，走出街頭做出違法的事情。
Some young people on hearing perhaps just some specious slogans might have regarded them as gospel truth and taken to the street to commit illegal acts
為了達到"黑暴"主腦的政治私利，年青人成為犧牲品，實在令人痛心。
It is indeed heart - rending to see that some young people have been sacrificed by the masterminds behind the black - clad violence for their own political interests
須知道被捕的年青人除了要面對刑責，亦會前途盡毀，影響終身。
It should be noted that apart from the need to bear criminal liability the future of those young people arrested would also be doomed and they would be made to suffer for life
但是，即使僥幸未有被捕，他們在經歷今次如此大的衝擊後，難免會對心理造成負面影響，部分人可能留下不可磨滅的心靈創傷，有些甚至會發展為反社會人格，同樣都可能影響終身。
Even if some of them were fortunate enough not to be arrested they would inevitably be affected by adverse psychological effects after such traumatic experience and they would possibly be made to suffer for life too as some of them might suffer psychic trauma that could never be healed while some might develop an anti - social personality
另外，一個年青人出了事，全家人都會受到影響，都可能會活在陰霾中。
Moreover when a young person has been arrested hisher whole family will be affected and all of them may then have to live under the gloom of worry
我認為社會應該體諒這些年青人，政府亦應協助或引導他們走出陰霾，重回人生正軌。
I think other members of the community should adopt an understanding attitude towards these young people and the Government should also assist them or lead them out of the gloom so that they would get back on the right track in life
大家身邊可能也有朋友或親戚移民，他們到了一個新地方，需要重新適應，以往在香港累積的人脈也全都失去。
Some friends or relatives around us may have chosen to emigrate to places which are completely new to them and they have to adapt to a new environment and may lose their networks of personal connections they have established in Hong Kong
部分人可能因為誤解了《香港國安法》，擔心生活受到影響而離開香港，這其實都是謬誤，大家只要奉公守法，平常生活便沒有問題。
It is possible that some of them have misunderstandings about the Hong Kong National Security Law and thus decide to leave Hong Kong so that their life will not be affected but this is actually a fallacy . There will be no problem as long as we keep on leading a law - abiding and normal life
事實上，《香港國安法》令香港社會谷底反彈，再次讓我們得享安穩的日子。
In fact the Hong Kong National Security Law has enabled our society to rebound after hitting rock bottom so that we may enjoy a stable life once again
我希望大家多些了解國情，開拓自己的視野。
I hope people can better understand the national situation and broaden their horizons
留在香港的年青人，希望他們能夠把握機遇，憑藉國家作為香港的後盾，除了在香港甚至也可到大灣區一展拳腳，改善生活。
As for young people who stay in Hong Kong I hope they will seize the opportunity leverage the advantage of having the backing from the country and endeavour to pursue career development in not only Hong Kong but also the Greater Bay Area so as to improve their livelihood
作為財務委員會的主席，財委會是我最重要的工作，我想藉此機會衷心多謝各位議員，包括在席議員及很多身處樓上辦公室的議員，他們在財委會最艱難，需要長時間不斷開會的時期，仍給予全力的支持，我沒有聽過任何一句怨言。
Being the Chairman of the Finance Committee FC the work of FC is the most important part of my duties here in this Council . In this connection I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to all fellow Members including those present here and many others who are now in our offices upstairs . During the most difficult times for FC when meetings had to be held continuously for a prolonged period of time fellow Members had given me their unfailing support and not a single word of complain had ever been heard
我要特別多謝黃定光議員，當場內只剩下數人的時候，他必定留在座位，有時臨近表決一刻，我更會提醒他幫忙把議員們找回來。
I wish to extend my special thanks to Mr WONG Ting - kwong who was always there in his seat when there were only a few Members left in the meeting room and sometimes when we were about to vote on an item he was even reminded to help and call other Members back to the meeting room for me
由於時間實在太長，這是完全可以明白的，但我對黃定光議員的堅持實在是衷心感謝。
Given that the meeting time was indeed too lengthy Members absence then was absolutely understandable but the perseverance of Mr WONG Ting - kwong is sincerely appreciated
我亦對法律顧問和秘書處同事專業及中立的服務，表示衷心感謝。
I would also like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Legal Adviser and the Secretariat staff for providing their services in a professional and politically neutral manner
最後，我寄語新一屆立法會，香港在過去20多年來，政府施政一直被反對派拖後腿，即使有國家大力支持，經濟只能原地踏步，社會更是百病叢生。
Finally let me convey a message to Legislative Council Members in the new term as follows In the past 20 years or so the governance of the Hong Kong Government has all along been impeded by the opposition camp and even with the strong support from the country local economy has made no progress while our society is plagued with problems
我們已浪費了很多光陰，是時候拉起衣袖，一起為香港做事，協助政府解決社會的深層次矛盾。
Since much time has already been wasted we should all roll up our sleeves now to work together for Hong Kong and assist the Government in resolving the deep - seated conflicts in society
《香港國安法》和完善選舉制度，確實能確保2019年的黑暗日子不再出現。
With the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law and the measures to improve our electoral system we can really rest assured that the dark days in 2019 will not return
我希望香港已度過最差情况，經歷浴火重生，鳳凰再現，再展生機。
I hope the worst has passed for Hong Kong and just like the rebirth of a phoenix from the ashes it will be revitalized
代理主席，今日來到第六屆立法會最後一次大會，辯論告別議案，相信大家都是百感交雜，百般滋味在心頭，就像剛才柯創盛議員所說。
Deputy President today we come to the last meeting of the Sixth Legislative Council to debate the valedictory motion . I believe that we all have mixed feelings and emotions just like what Mr Wilson OR said earlier
特別是我相信我們同事一起見證了很多事情，有難忘的回憶，高高低低都有。
In particular I believe that our colleagues have witnessed many happenings together ups and downs included and are left with unforgettable memories
當最黑暗的畫面出現時，我們在一起；現在到了黎明時，我們也在一起。
When the darkest scene appeared we stayed together . Now it is dawn and we still stay together
我自己是在2018年3月11日經補選加入立法會的，算是議會裏最新的議員。
I entered the Legislative Council by winning the by - election on 11 March 2018 so I am presumably the newest Member of this Council
當了3年半議員，我特別想借此機會，衷心多謝很多朋友和我的支持者。
Having been a Member for three and a half years I would particularly like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to many friends and supporters of mine
我印象很深的是，宣誓當日，我經過這條長長的走廊時，心內不停在想，我加入議會是要為市民做實事，要多做一些民生的工作。
I still strongly remember that when I was passing through this long corridor on the day of oath - taking I kept thinking to myself that I join this Council to do concrete things for the public and do more to improve peoples livelihood
當時，我自己拿着107,479票的市民支持，在他們的囑咐下進入這議會工作，與大家一起共事也是我人生最光榮的事。
At that time I joined this Council at the behest of members of the public who had supported me with 107 479 votes . It has been the greatest honour in my life to work together with Members
就這項議案，其實有很多事情很想跟大家分享，但我自己選了幾件覺得最值得跟大家說說的。
There are actually many things I would like to share with Members in relation to this motion but I have picked a few that I find most worth telling
第一，當然是議會的政治環境。
The first is of course the political environment of this Council
兩年前的"黑暴"事件，我相信大家都歷歷在目，立法會大樓受到衝擊和破壞，弄致完全破爛，這個議事堂被人完全破壞，亦有很多肢體碰撞，令我們議會尊嚴受到損害。
I believe that Members still vividly remember the black - clad violence incidents of two years ago . The Legislative Council Complex was devastated by storming and vandalism and this Chamber was totally destroyed . There were also many physical scuffles causing harm to the dignity of this Council
但是我很記得，我們一班同事都緊守崗位，有很多個晚上都留在大樓內；不論是柯創盛議員、陳恒鑌議員、何君堯議員，各個議員都在這裏，都不想離開，因為我們知道我們的責任就是要守着我們的議會，守着我們的尊嚴。
However I remember very well that our fellow colleagues stuck to their posts and stayed in the Complex for many nights . Various Members such as Mr Wilson OR Mr CHAN Han - pan and Dr Junius HO were here and did not want to leave because we knew that our duty was to guard our legislature and protect our dignity
對此，我相信大家都很難忘。
I believe this is very unforgettable for all of us
第二，就是議會的工作。
The second one is Council business
我自己很高興可以擔任不少工作崗位，當過教育事務委員會副主席，率團到芬蘭考察；亦當過人力事務委員會主席，處理過14周產假、滋擾母乳餵哺等；亦當過環境事務委員會主席，處理過垃圾徵費、清新空氣藍圖等。
I am very glad for being able to hold quite a number of positions . As Deputy Chairman of the Panel on Education I led a delegation to visit Finland . As Chairman of the Panel on Manpower I dealt with the 14 - week maternity leave breastfeeding harassment etc
這些不同崗位都讓我涉獵不同的政策範疇，而相信我自己最感恩的，就是我最後出任《2021年業主與租客條例草案》委員會的主席，即所謂的"劏房"租管，見證着這"劏房"租務管制的審議和通過。
As Chairman of the Panel on Environmental Affairs I dealt with waste charging the Clean Air Plan and so on . These different posts allowed me to dabble in different policy areas and what I am most grateful for is that I have lastly taken on the post of Chairman of the Bills Committee on Landlord and Tenant Amendment Bill 2021 to deal with tenancy control on the so - called subdivided units witnessing the scrutiny and passage of this Bill for tenancy control on subdivided units
在此，我特別想借機會多謝各不同黨派給這個機會，讓經驗尚淺的我出任法案委員會主席，而"劏房"的問題亦相信是我自己最關心的，因為在九龍西實在有很多人所處環境很惡劣，其實他們一直都很想表達，但不知道怎樣發聲，我很感恩能在這個平台代他們發聲。
Here I would particularly like to take this opportunity to thank various political parties and groupings for giving me the opportunity to be Chairman of the Bills Committee . The issue of subdivided units is my greatest concern because many people in Kowloon West are really living in appalling conditions and actually have always wanted to voice their minds but do not know how . I feel very grateful for being able to speak out on their behalf on this platform
到達當地時，亦透過我們的駐日大使館，以及在很多朋友的支援下，最後可以安排包機返回香港，順利讓他們平安回來。
On arrival through the Embassy of our country in Japan and with the support of many friends we eventually managed to arrange a chartered flight to safely send them back to Hong Kong without a hiccup
這件事我相信對於我來說是特別刻骨銘心的，亦讓我更加覺得我們人在海外時，中國人的身份多重要；到了外地時，我們的國家有多照顧我們，我們有多大的後盾在後面幫助我們。
This incident is particularly memorable to me and it makes me realize how important our identity as Chinese is when we are overseas how much our country takes care of us when we are abroad and how much backing there is to help us out
代理主席，在這3年半的時間，我真的經歷了不平凡的人生。
Deputy President in these three and a half years I have really experienced an extraordinary life
上述幾件事，對我來說都是記憶猶新，亦令我很熱愛這份工作，因為可以幫市民做實事。
The few incidents just mentioned are still fresh in my memory and have made me love this job because I can do concrete things for the public
在進入良政善治的新時代，我相信新一屆立法會亦可以為市民做更多事情，繼續很努力發展經濟、改善民生，更好地服務市民。
On the cusp of a new era of good governance I believe that the new - term Legislative Council can do more for the public and continue working hard to develop the economy improve peoples livelihood and better serve the public
當然，我希望接下來盡快處理好疫情，盡快通關。
Certainly I hope that the epidemic will be put under control and quarantine - free travel will be resumed in the soonest future
不過，順帶一提，亦多謝司長當時派發1萬元，消費券其實當時真的幫助到市民走出一大步。
On a side note however I would also like to thank the Financial Secretary for handing out the 10,000 consumption vouchers at that time which really helped the public take a big step forward back then and still today . Deputy President fast forward to this moment the Legislative Council has come back as a venue for rational political deliberation
代理主席，來到這一刻，立法會已回復理性議政的場地，我在此特別想借機會多謝多位同事大家合作無間，亦要多謝我自己議員辦事處的同事很多時候到很晚仍在努力為我們工作，亦多謝秘書處一直緊守崗位；希望未來在不同的領域和崗位上，有更多合作空間。
Here I would particularly like to take this opportunity to thank a number of colleagues for their close collaboration . I would also like to thank the colleagues in my own office for working hard for us till late at night as well as the Secretariat staff for sticking to their posts . I hope that there will be more room for collaboration in different areas and positions in the future
代理主席，我們小時候聽過很多童話故事，各式各樣的童話故事，我想大家都聽過；但是，無論甚麼故事，我們最經常聽到的結局是甚麼呢？
Deputy President we heard a lot of fairy tales when we were young and I think we have heard all kinds of fairy tales . However no matter what the story is what is the ending that we hear most often?
都是那一句：王子和公主以後每天都幸福快樂地生活下去。
It is the same old cliché The prince and the princess live happily ever after
我想大家都耳熟能詳，這是童話故事的結局。
I reckon we all know this ending of a fairy tale very well
然而，人生不會如此理想，王子和公主總會遇到問題，可能其他人表面上察覺不到；一對夫婦在回家後可能會為子女的教育問題爭吵，最後甚至弄致離婚，如此正常不過。
However life is not always so ideal . The prince and the princess will also encounter problems which may not be apparent to others . A couple may come home and argue over the education of their children and this may eventually even end in divorce which is not unusual at all
我們每天都會面對很多新的問題，最重要的是甚麼呢？
We face many new problems every day but what is the most important thing?
沉得住氣，想方設法克服困難，解決問題。
We have to remain calm then find ways to overcome difficulties and to resolve problems
公共政策也如是。
The same is true for public policies
便是我們要看清楚真正的社會問題是甚麼，然後找出一個好的辦法解決；但往往新方法解決了老問題，也會衍生一些新的問題。
In terms of public policies we need to see clearly what the real social problems are and then find a good solution; but it happens that once the old problems are tackled by new solutions some new problems will be created
這便等於有重病時，醫生開藥方治好，藥物也會有副作用，但是，只要副作用是可控和可接受便可以，公共政策的運作基本上也是這樣。
This is the same as when a doctor prescribes a cure for a serious illness the drug will have side effects but as long as the side effects are manageable and acceptable it is still fine . Basically this is also how public policies work
過去數年，立法會最大的問題的而且確便是有一股反對"一國兩制"的力量，不是利用議員的公權力以改善施政，而是企圖拖垮特區政府的施政、癱瘓立法會的運作，特別是抵制任何涉及國家和"一國兩制"元素的政策和議案；過去數年，很明顯的例子是有關高鐵"一地兩檢"和《國歌條例》。
In the past few years the gravest problem in the Legislative Council was indeed the force of opposition to one country two systems . Instead of making use of the public mandate of Members to improve governance they are trying to cripple the administration of the SAR Government and paralyse the operation of the Legislative Council especially by resisting the passage of any policies and motions that involve the elements of the country and one country two systems . In the past few years some obvious examples are the co - location arrangement for the Hong Kong Section of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link and the National Anthem Ordinance
我也曾是某法案委員會的副主席，深知一旦涉及國家和"一國兩制"的元素，審議法案的會議廳便會變成戰場，槍林彈雨。
I was also the Deputy Chairman of a bills committee and I know very well that once the elements of the country and one country two systems were involved the venue for deliberation of the bill would be turned into a battlefield while the discussion would have to be conducted under a storm of shots and shells
過去一段時間，立法會好像"撞邪"般，俗語說是"被鬼壓"，動彈不得，而議事廳變成大笪地，有議員公然搶官員的電話、搶文件，有議員則在你後面爬上去，好像猴子般爬樹，有議員則在主席台前好像拳王般跳來跳去，還有議員好像江湖術士走到桌上唸咒語、撒溪錢；簡直是荒誕、胡鬧。
For a period of time in the past the Legislative Council seemed to be possessed or suffering from sleep paralysis unable to move and the Chamber was turned into a bazaar with some Members openly grabbing a officials phone and papers some climbing up behind you just like monkeys climbing trees some jumping around in front of the Presidents podium like champion boxers and some like a charlatans standing on the table reciting incantations and sprinkling note offerings . It was simply absurd and nonsense
議會根本在過去不能議政論政，在這個情況下，特區政府不能暢順施政是情有可原，而當然最惡劣的情況，就是出現在反修例事件期間。
During that period in the past the Council basically could not discuss policies . Under the circumstances it is understandable that the SAR Government could not govern smoothly and of course the worst situation occurred during the events arising from the opposition to the proposed legislative amendments
不過，大家也知道，自從《香港國安法》實施和完善選舉安排後，反對派退場，立法機關亦終於清醒，發揮作用，一個又一個解決社會問題的議案可以在立法會順利通過；例如最近有關"劏房"的租務管 制、垃圾徵費、海外醫生註冊、禁止電子煙和加熱煙的議案，這些議案獲得通過的情景，都是過去數年不能想象的。
However as we all know since the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law and the improvement of the electoral arrangements the opposition camp has withdrawn from the scene and the legislature has finally come to its senses and played its role by passing one motion after another smoothly to resolve social problems . Some recent examples are the motions on rent control of subdivided units garbage levy registration of overseas medical practitioners as well as the ban on electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco products . The passage of these motions could hardly be imagined in the past few years
當然，我們很希望政府官員能夠積極有為、不避難、有擔當，提出法案解決社會上現時仍在積累的老、大、難問題。
Of course we very much hope that government officials can be proactive will not side - step difficulties but will take responsibility to put forward proposals to resolve the outstanding major and difficult problems that are still accumulating in our society
正如我剛才所說，解決了一個問題，就可能衍生其他問題。
As I said earlier after one problem is resolved other problems may arise
當議會回復理性之後，官員再不能以"立法會阻頭阻勢"這個原因，作為擋箭牌而不作為。
After the legislature has returned to rationality officials should no longer use the reason the legislature is blocking the way as a shield for inaction
官員更應小心避免這樣做，千萬不要輕視議會這個立法機關民意代表的角色，千萬不要以為數夠票便不會見議員，不解說政策。
Officials should be careful not to do so and should not underestimate the role of the legislature which is the representative of public opinions or think that if they have enough votes it will be unnecessary for them to meet with legislators or explain their policies
因為大家知道，過去在議會內很多議員，特別是我們民建聯，都有就着選舉安排，例如投票時間、境外投票等提出意見；但無奈地，在剛剛星期一公布的選舉活動指引之前或之後，政府都沒有跟我們談及此事，而我們是完全依靠新聞報道，才知道原來公布了指引，我們都是靠記者致電詢問我們的看法和回應，我們才知道原來已公布了選舉活動指引的細節，而當中我們所提出的任何建議，政府都充耳不聞，沒有出現在這份指引內。
Because as you know many Members in this Council especially Members from our Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong have been expressing their views on the electoral arrangements such as the polling hours and external voting arrangement . But unfortunately the Government did not talk to us about this issue before or after the announcement of the Guidelines on Election - related Activities on Monday and we only found out that the Guidelines had been announced through news reports . It was only after we were called by reporters asking for our views and feedback that we learned that the details of the Guidelines on Election - related Activities had been published and that the suggestions put forward by us had fallen on deaf ears and were not incorporated into the Guidelines
我衷心希望官員要以此為鑒，多點跟議員溝通，做不到的也要向我們解說，告訴我們為甚麼做不到。
I sincerely hope that the officials will learn from this and communicate more with the legislators . In case there is something that they are unable to do they should give explanations to us
今屆議會，我有幸跟議會中各位同事並肩作戰，渡過香港社會和議會最艱難的時刻。
In this term of the Legislative Council I am honoured to work alongside my colleagues in this Council during the most difficult time for Hong Kong society and the Council
在此，我衷心祝願大家從心所欲，但更希望各位同事在百忙中都要愛護家人，陪伴家人，為甚麼這樣說呢？
I hereby would like to sincerely wish you all the best and I also hope that you will love your family members take time with them out of your hectic schedule to be with them
因為在過去數年最艱苦的歲月中，我們的家人面對的壓力絕對不會比議員少。
Because during the most difficult time in the past few years our family members had been under no less pressure than us as legislators
