我相信稍後再引申出的一個終局，便是很可能在就這項司法覆核作出判決或終審法院作出判決前，全國人民代表大會常務委員會會再介入進行釋法，這樣我們又再打開一道門，邀請中央釋法。
I believe that later on the endgame that will likely arise is that before the ruling on the judicial review or the ruling by the Court of Final Appeal is made the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress NPCSC will intervene again by interpreting the Basic Law . In this way we will again open a door and invite the Central Authorities to interpret the Basic Law
其實，我們最不明白的是，政府在過去其實有近10年時間可以好好地就如何處理這項憲政問題提出不同的方案。
In fact what we have the greatest trouble in understanding is that in the past the Government had actually almost a decade to put forward various proposals on how to deal with this constitutional issue properly
即使是香港大律師公會的提議或石永泰的提議也指出，要解開這個死結其實只有兩種做法：第一，考慮透過《基本法》附件三作出修訂，把有關的重要條文寫進去。
Even the proposal put forward by HKBA―or Mr Paul SHIEHs proposal―also pointed out that there are only two ways to untie this fast knot The first is to consider incorporating the relevant important provisions into Annex III of the Basic Law by making amendments to it
我們並非一定要反對高鐵，但我們一定要反對一些會衝擊及破壞"一國兩制"、削弱香港司法管轄權的法例，反對在香港特別行政區引入大陸法例。
We are not bent on opposing XRL but we must oppose legislation that impacts on and undermines one country two systems or compromises Hong Kongs jurisdiction and we oppose the introduction of Mainland laws into the SAR
這些全部也會令我們的"一國兩制"系統面對我們可能無法想象的衝擊。
All these would make inroads that we can hardly imagine into our one country two systems framework
所以，為慎重起見，我們民主黨希望政府撤回《條例草案》，然後從長計議，看看在憲法層面上，我們有甚麼出路可處理有關廣深港高鐵的安排。
Therefore for the sake of prudence we in the Democratic Party hope that the Government will withdraw the Bill and hold further in - depth and detailed discussions to see what ways there are to deal with the arrangements related to the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link at the constitutional level
我謹此陳辭，反對二讀。
With these remarks I oppose the Second Reading
雖然我知道《條例草案》很可能會獲得通過，但我作為議員，必須以比較宏觀的角度向一些有權力的人說出我心中的看法。第一，我認為《條例草案》和有關安排違反《基本法》及"一國兩制"的理念和初心。
I know that the Bill will probably be passed but as a Member of the Legislative Council I must express my genuine views from a relatively macroscopic perspective to some powerful
我認為《條例草案》一旦通過，會影響"一帶一路"的實踐，而"一帶一路"是香港未來經濟發展的寄望，關乎香港的利益。
Once the Bill is passed I think it will affect the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative . The Belt and Road Initiative is our hope for promoting the future development of Hong Kongs economy which concerns the interests of Hong Kong
主席，我留意到你剛才說在中止待續議案辯論時大家已經發言，但你要弄清楚，在中止待續議案辯論時發言的議員，包括我在內，也被你叫停數次，要求我們的發言只能圍繞中止待續議案。
President I noticed that you said earlier that Members had already spoken during the debate on the adjournment motion but you have to get this right because Members who spoke during the debate on the adjournment motion including myself had been stopped by you several times as you told us to only revolve around the adjournment motion in our speeches
其實，你可以看看，現時輪候發言的議員有11位，當中有很多並不在席或不打算發言，只要你讓其他想發言的議員發言，所牽涉的時間可能只是一兩小時，對於整項法案的進度未必有太大的影響。
Actually as you can see 11 Members are now waiting for their turn to speak but many of them are not in the Chamber or do not intend to speak . So long as you allow other Members who wish to speak to speak the time it takes may only be an hour or two and this may not have too great an impact on the progress of the entire Bill
我懇請主席再次考慮我們的要求，容許每一位在二讀辯論階段時已按下"要求發言"按鈕，但仍未有機會發言的議員發言。
I implore you President to reconsider our request and allow every Member who pressed the Request to Speak button at the Second Reading debate stage and has not yet had a chance to claim the floor
其實，他們的發言時間可能只需一兩小時，希望主席你重新考慮，謝謝。
In fact their speaking time may take only an hour or two . I hope that you President can reconsider it . Thank you
各位議員有甚麼規程問題？
Members what are your points of order?
在6月當中，不計今次的會議，我們還有3次會議，我們有足夠時間讓現正輪候的11位議員發言，而我們最遲也可以在6月第三次會議完成審議工作。
In June excluding this meeting we will have three more meetings . There is sufficient time for the 11 Members currently waiting in the queue to speak and we can complete the examination at the third meeting in June the latest
主席，第一，我請你收回你剛才說陳淑莊議員根據《議事規則》第544條提出的中止待續議案辯論是浪費時間這句說話。
President first I urge you to withdraw your earlier remark that it is a waste of time for Ms Tanya CHAN to propose a motion on adjournment of debate under Rule 544 sic of the Rules of Procedure
這項議案是根據《議事規則》提出，是否浪費時間、有沒有價值由議員決定，主席應該中立，不應該將中止待續議案定性為浪費時間。
This motion is proposed in accordance with the Rules of Procedure . The decision on whether it is a waste of time or whether it has any value should rest with Members . The President should be neutral and should not brand the motion on adjournment as a waste of time
第二，我真的懇請主席讓議員就《條例草案》的二讀發言，因為這情況過去從來未曾出現過，也就是在法案二讀時，有議員連一次發言機會也沒有，否則你可能會引起司法覆核。
Second I really call on the President to allow Members to speak on the Second Reading of the Bill because never has it happened before that Members do not have a chance to speak even once during the Second Reading of a Bill . Otherwise a judicial review may be filed against you
這是我對你的忠告。
This is my advice to you
陳志全議員，如果你有留心聆聽，我剛才是說，議員在辯論期間亦浪費了接近三分之一時間，要求點算法定人數。
Mr CHAN Chi - chuen had you been listening to me attentively you would have known that what I said was that Members had wasted one third of the time requesting headcounts during the debate
如果根據你所說，我們有同事在做一些浪費時間的事，例如提出中止待續議案，但我並沒有參與。
If some colleagues are doing something which is as you put it a waste of time such as proposing a motion on adjournment of debate I did not take part in it . I had been sitting quietly here waiting for my turn to speak
主席，請你聽我把話說完，這也是規程問題。
President please listen to me until I am finished . This is also a point of order
根據傳媒報道，你說二讀辯論的時間有8小時，如果數算一下，我們今天辯論了多少個小時？
According to media reports you said that the Second Reading debate has taken eight hours . If we do some counting how many hours have we spent on the debate today?
主席，我發言也是想說，我既然已經在席，我既然是已經按下按鈕的議員，你沒有理由剝奪我發言的權利。
President I also wish to say that since I am in the Chamber and since I am a Member who has pressed the button you have no reason to deprive me of my right to speak
我有需要在歷史上留下這紀錄，述明在法案二讀時，我是在原則上反對這項《條例草案》通過，因為這項《條例草案》違法、違憲。
I have to put down this record in history to state clearly that during the Second Reading of the Bill I oppose the Bill in principle because the Bill is unlawful and unconstitutional
陳淑莊議員表示很關心"一地兩檢"在法律上的問題。
Ms Tanya CHAN has expressed grave concern about the legal issues of the co - location arrangement saying that while some lawyers declared the co - location arrangement unconstitutional some deemed it constitutional
主席，我不知道泛民是否希望盡量在此"表演"，是否認為響鐘點算法定人數很厲害，但大家都知道，即使響鐘碰巧在某一刻沒有足夠法定人數，因而流會，但主席在半小時或一小時後又可再召開會議。
President I wonder if the pan - democratic camp intended to put on a show in this Chamber by all means and do they consider that making quorum calls is something . However as we all know even if it so happens that a quorum is not formed at a particular moment such that the meeting has to be aborted the President may convene another meeting in 30 minutes or one hour later
他們對"一地兩檢"和高鐵有那麼多意見，但民主黨、公民黨、新民主同盟、工黨、民協、街工，卻經常組織高鐵團前往內地。
While making numerous complaints about the co - location arrangement and the Express Rail Link XRL the Democratic Party Civic Party Neo Democrats Labour Party Hong Kong Association for Democracy and Peoples Livelihood and Neighbourhood and Workers Service Centre have often organized high - speed rail tours to the Mainland
因為他們知道市民想要，知道市民喜歡。
Because they are know this is what members of the public desire and like
這正正顯示我們知道市民想要甚麼：市民很希望高鐵能早日落成，《條例草案》能早日完成審議，大家能開開心心在香港上車往內地環遊全國。
This precisely shows that we are well aware of the aspiration of members of the public . They are eager to see the commissioning of XRL and the early completion of the deliberation of the Bill so that they can joyfully ride on XRL in Hong Kong and tour around the country
我希望反對派三思，積極支持《條例草案》。
I hope that the opposition party will think twice and proactively support the Bill
如何解釋這份高鐵合作協議，才能符合《基本法》的規定？
How should the XRL Operating Co - operation Agreement be interpreted to enable it to meet the requirements of the Basic Law?
《基本法》第十八條和第二十二條清楚訂明，"全國性法律除列於本法附件三者外，不在香港特別行政區實施。
Article 18 of the Basic Law clearly stipulates that National laws shall not be applied in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region except for those listed in Annex III to this Law
例如，我的言論可能引起種族仇恨。
For instance my remarks may induce racial hatred
例如，根據《基本法》第一條，香港是國家不可分割的一部分，因此不可能出現某程度違反或限制違反《基本法》第一條的情況。
Nor can there be violation of proportionality . For instance under Article 1 of the Basic Law the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is an inalienable part of the Peoples Republic of China . As such violation or limited violation of Article 1 of the Basic Law is out of the question
《基本法》第十八條、第十九條和第二十二條全都是"一國兩制"的重要原則，不能容許適度違反， 因此proportionality test也不適用於這些條文。
Articles 18 19 and 22 which are important principles of one country two systems allow no moderate violation . As such the proportionality test is inapplicable to these provisions
否則，這些條文全都會出現灰色地帶。
Otherwise a grey area will appear in all these provisions
這就是多位同事擔心《條例草案》對《基本法》和"一國兩制"造成影響的原因。
This explains why a number of Honourable colleagues are concerned about the impact of the Bill on the Basic Law and one country two systems
他們的擔心絕對客觀，並非為反對而反對、為爭拗而爭拗。
Their concern is absolutely objective . They are not voicing opposition for the sake of opposition and arguing for the sake of it
很多法律界人士，包括持不同政治立場的人其實都心中有數。
Many members of the legal profession including those holding different political stances actually have a pretty good idea of what is happening
如果可以的話，最乾脆的做法就是修改《基本法》，令到整件事情符合合憲的要求，而不是"側側膊"嘗試扭曲條文以通過一項違憲的《條例草案》。
If possible the Basic Law should simply be amended to make the whole thing meet the constitutional requirement rather than acting evasively in an attempt to distort certain provisions in order to pass an unconstitutional Bill
那麼，口岸區是否仍屬於香港和香港司法管轄區的一部分呢？
In that case is MPA still considered to be part of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong jurisdiction?
我們有責任指出這些問題，向政府提出問題，以及要求政府向我們作出交代。
We are obliged to point out these issues put questions to the Government and demand an explanations from the Government
即使建制派議員支持《條例草案》，也應接受民主派或法律界提出的一些尤其是違憲的理據是確實存在，並非憑空想象。
Even if Members of the pro - establishment camp support the Bill they should still accept the fact that some justifications especially the one concerning constitutionality advanced by the pro - democracy camp or the legal profession really exist
按照政府的立場，這些修正案脫離合作協議的框架，因此不能如此修訂《條例草案》。
According to the Governments position these amendments are beyond the framework of the Co - operation Agreement and so the Bill cannot be amended in this manner
這做法實在大錯特錯，如果人大常委會與香港政府達成合作協議，或人大常委會頒布命令或指令香港立法會通過某些法例，難道立法會就必須原文通過這些法例，不能作出刪減或修改嗎？
It is terribly wrong . Should a cooperation agreement be reached between NPCSC and the Hong Kong Government or an order or instruction be issued by NPCSC for the Legislative Council of Hong Kong to pass certain legislation does it mean that the Legislative Council must pass the legislation in its entirety without any deletion or amendment?
立法會又如何根據《基本法》行使權力呢？
How can the Legislative Council exercise its powers pursuant to the Basic Law?
政府的做法將會造成非常深遠的影響。
The Governments approach will cause extremely far - reaching consequences
如果政府今天說人大有權直接指令立法會通過一項法例，而且一字不能修改，這正是為何很多香港人雖然明白興建高鐵本身的價值，卻質疑高鐵導致《基本法》與"一國兩制"出現漏洞的原因。
Imagine the Government said today that NPC had the power to instruct the Legislative Council to pass a piece of legislation without amending a word . That explains why many Hong Kong people understand the intrinsic value of XRL but doubt it might cause loopholes to appear in the Basic Law and one country two systems
高鐵對立法會的權力造成這麼深遠的影響，這是否符合社會的期望呢？
Given such far - reaching consequences on the powers of the Legislative Council does XRL meet the expectations of the community?
但作為從政者，我們應該站得更高、看得更遠、站得更穩。
As politicians we should stand higher up look farther away and stand firmer
如果一件事明顯違反《基本法》，卻因為現時可能有超過五成民意支持，我們就置諸不理，那麼我們並沒有履行立法會議員應有的職能。
If we turn a blind eye to something that obviously violates the Basic Law but is probably supported by more than half of public opinion then we will fail to discharge the due functions of Legislative Council Members
我們曾經宣誓要捍衞《基本法》和"一國兩制"，並且作出了承諾，如果在審議一項明顯違憲的法例的時候，卻因為顧及民意而不說出應該說的話、不指出應該指出的問題，我們便是沒有盡責。
We have sworn to uphold the Basic Law and the principle of one country two systems and made an undertaking . We would have failed to discharge our responsibility had we not said what we should say and pointed out the problems in examining a piece of legislation that was obviously unconstitutional on the ground that we had to take public opinion into account
大陸法和普通法的法治精神都是一樣，那就是按照法律條文的字眼解釋法例，這種法治精神是全世界所有法律制度最核心和適用的要點。
Continental law and common law should share the same rule of law spirit that is to interpret laws as per the wording of the provisions . The rule of law spirit is the core and the most applicable point of all of the legal systems around the world
我們今天要通過的《條例草案》，根本扭曲了《基本法》亦即是憲法最重要的數項條文。
The Bill to be passed by Members today basically represents a distortion of the Basic Law which carries the several most important provisions of the Constitution
主席，我國高鐵網絡應是當今世上最大規模的，全長超過兩萬公里，預計到2020年更會擴展至3萬公里，覆蓋全國八成以上的大城市。
President our national high - speed rail network is nowadays the worlds largest in scale spanning a total distance of over 20 000 km―30 000 km after a further extension expected by 2020―and covering over 80 % of the major cities in the country
高鐵除了可利便市民和旅客，加強人與人、城市與城市之間的聯繫外，更會帶來龐大的經濟效益。
Apart from bringing convenience to the public and travellers as well as strengthening the links between people and those between cities the high - speed rail also brings about huge economic benefits
其實，早於2000年，香港便開始討論和規劃高鐵，至今已超過足足18年。
In fact it has been more than 18 years since Hong Kong first started its discussion and planning on the construction of a high - speed rail back in 2000
十八年的時間，嬰兒也長大成人了。內地高鐵網絡發展至今已四通八達，更把相關建造和營運技術輸出海外。
In the course of these 18 years which is time enough for a baby to grow to adulthood the high - speed rail network in the Mainland has grown into an extensive system and is now exporting construction and operation know - how overseas
部分人士反對這項《廣深港高鐵條例草案》，質疑在高鐵西九站實施"一地兩檢"的安排；質疑相關法律基礎和實際運作上的種種問題；擔心會影響人權、自由、法治，以至在執法和營運上可能出現的問題。
Some people who oppose this Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link Co - location Bill the Bill question the wisdom of implementing the co - location arrangement at the West Kowloon Station WKS of the Hong Kong Section of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL raising all sorts of doubts regarding the legal basis and actual operation and fretting over the impacts on human rights freedom and the rule of law as well as the complications of law enforcement and operation that may arise
亦有人關注高鐵票價、購票安排或試車時出現的技術和安全問題。
Others are concerned about the fare levels and ticketing arrangements of XRL or the technical and safety issues arising from the trial run
香港經濟要持續發展，就要掌握內地發展和規劃帶來的機遇，這是非常重要的。
It is most important for Hong Kong to seize the opportunities presented by the development and planning of the Mainland in order to maintain its economic development on a sustained basis
我們必須在交通基建上與內地接軌，廣深港高鐵香港段及另一個重要跨境基建港珠澳大橋也必須盡快開通，從而加速兩地的人流、物流等往來互通。
Since it is imperative for us to link up with the Mainland in terms of transport infrastructure XRL and the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge another important undertaking of cross - boundary infrastructure must be commissioned as soon as possible thereby facilitating the mutual flow and access of people goods etc
在高鐵西九龍站實施"一地兩檢"的通關安排，目的正是讓香港市民可以更快捷方便地往來內地，到內地旅遊、經商、就業、就學甚至定居，這是香港主動向內地提出的要求。
It is precisely for the convenience of the people of Hong Kong to travel speedily to and from the Mainland―for leisure business work study or even settlement on the Mainland―that we implement the co - location clearance arrangement at WKS of XRL . This is a request we made to the Mainland of our own accord
如果內地高鐵網到達深港邊境便停頓了，香港就很容易被其他內地城市孤立和邊緣化，無法搭上國家高速發展的列車。
If the national high - speed rail network stops short at the border between Hong Kong and Shenzhen Hong Kong finding itself an easy target of isolation and marginalization by other Mainland cities will fail to get on board the train of rapid national development
既然高鐵對香港和市民有利，並獲大多數市民支持，如果當中出現法律、營運或票務問題，作為立法會議員，我們應當以積極務實的態度尋求解決辦法，而非一旦感到任何擔心、疑惑或憂慮，便甚麼也不做，只管抗議或拖延，甚至為反對而反對、為爭拗而爭拗。
Since the high - speed rail project is beneficial to both Hong Kong and its people with the majority of the public behind it we as Members of the Legislative Council should adopt a proactive and pragmatic approach in finding solutions to the legal operational or ticketing problems that may arise instead of being paralysed by concerns doubts or worries and doing nothing but protesting or stalling or worse opposing for the sake of opposition and arguing for the sake of argument
有關"一地兩檢"的法律問題，兩地政府已透過"三步走"程序解決，人大常委會已於去年年底作出議決，確認高鐵"一地兩檢"合作安排合法、合憲。
The legal issues of co - location have already been solved by both governments through the Three - step Process . In a decision made late last year the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress NPCSC affirmed the legality and constitutionality of the cooperation arrangement pertaining to the implementation of the co - location arrangement at XRL
大家必須明白，《基本法》和"一國兩制"的憲政安排均沿於中國憲法，全國人民代表大會和人大常委會則是解釋憲法和《基本法》的最終及最權威機構。
We must understand that the constitutional arrangements of the Basic Law and one country two systems are both established by the Constitution of China . And the National Peoples Congress and NPCSC are the ultimate and highest authorities in the interpretation of the Constitution and the Basic Law
如果仍然有人對此不表認同，可通過司法途徑在法院處理，而非繼續在立法會兜兜轉轉，議而不決，浪費光陰。
Those who still disagree with this should resort to the legal avenue and have the matter handled in court instead of wrangling on and on in the Legislative Council engaging in fruitless discussions and wasting time
主席，事實上，在美國、加拿大和歐洲等國家亦有類似的一站式通關安排，香港深圳灣口岸亦已實施"一地兩檢"多年，至今沒聽到出現甚麼大問題。
As a matter of fact President similar one - stop clearance arrangements are enforced in countries like the United States Canada and in Europe . And the Shenzhen Bay Port has implemented a co - location arrangement for years with no major issues heard to this day
對於票價和票務問題，我很高興近日亦有反對"一地兩檢"的同事對此表達關注，要求政府和香港鐵路有限公司盡快與內地當局商討，盡量減低票價和簡化售票手續，最好能讓香港人可以直接在西九龍站購買車票，直達全國高鐵車站。
In respect of fare levels and ticketing I am glad that some Honourable colleagues who oppose the co - location arrangement too have expressed their concern over those issues recently calling on the Government and the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL to expeditiously negotiate to the best of their ability with the Mainland authorities with a view to reducing fares and simplifying ticketing procedures . Preferably Hong Kong people should be allowed to directly buy tickets at WKS for trains heading direct to the various high - speed rail stops throughout the country
他們似乎亦感受到，很多香港人熱切期待高鐵香港段通車。
They too seem to have sensed the fervent anticipation of many Hong Kong people for the commissioning of XRL
最後，我想指出，在立法會三讀通過《條例草案》，以及當高鐵香港段所有工程順利峻工後，政府及港鐵公司必須做好相關籌備、測試和應急應變工作，避免香港高鐵和西九龍站在通車初期，像當年香港國際機場開幕般出現混亂和錯漏情況。
Lastly I wish to highlight that following the Third Reading of the Bill and the smooth completion of all related works of XRL the Government and MTRCL should do a proper job of making the relevant preparations running tests and drawing up plans for emergency response to prevent the kind of chaos and lapses at the commissioning of the Hong Kong International Airport years ago from happening again during the initial stage of operation of XRL and WKS
主席，我和很多市民一樣，很期待廣深港高速鐵路香港段能如期於今年第三季通車，並希望西九龍站最終能實施"一地兩檢"，因為對香港而言，只有在西九龍站實施"一地兩檢"，才能讓高鐵香港段發揮最大效益。
President like many people in Hong Kong I am looking forward to the commissioning of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL as scheduled in the third quarter this year and hoping that the co - location arrangement can finally be implemented at the West Kowloon Station WKS . For the benefits of XRL can be unleashed in full only with the implementation of co - location at WKS
落實"一地兩檢"安排須經過"三步走"的程序，由2017年11月中啟動至今，現已到了最終的第三步。
Launched in mid - November 2017 the Three - step Process necessary for the implementation of co - location arrangement has now reached its third and final step
這一步不單是高鐵香港段如期在今年9月通車的關鍵，對香港整體而言更有着巨大、深遠的影響，是非常重要的里程碑。
Not only is this step crucial to the commissioning of XRL as scheduled in September this year it also marks a very important milestone with colossal and profound implications to Hong Kong as a whole
所以，我會支持《廣深港高鐵條例草案》盡快通過，達致高鐵香港段如期在今年第三季通車。
Hence I will support the speedy passage of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link Co - location Bill the Bill to enable the commissioning of XRL in the third quarter this year as scheduled
因此，我認為人大常委會在2017年12月27日作出的決定，已為在西九龍站實施"一地兩檢"安排提供穩妥的法律基礎，很多人對"一地兩檢"安排提出質疑，正是因為他們未能接受這個事實。
I thus hold the Decision made by NPCSC on 27 December 2017 as a legal basis solid enough for the implementation of co - location arrangement at WKS a fact that many of those who question the co - location arrangement fail to accept
此外，《合作安排》 已得到人大常委會批准和確認，說明《合作安排》符合憲法和《基本法》，這點毋庸置疑。
Besides with the approval and endorsement from NPCSC the Co - operation Arrangements conformity with the Constitution and the Basic Law is beyond doubt
主席，過去數個月，我也有參與法案委員會的審議工作，法案委員會就《條例草案》進行了非常全面的討論。
President over the last few months I have taken part in the scrutiny work of the Bills Committee which has conducted most thorough discussions on the Bill
法案委員會曾舉行兩次公聽會，聽取公眾對《條例草案》的意見，共有218名團體代表及個別人士出席，當中大多數表示支持西九龍站實施"一地兩檢"的安排。
In an effort to gauge the public opinion on the Bill the Bills Committee has held two public hearings with attendees comprising 218 deputations and individuals in total and most of them expressed support for implementing the co - location arrangement at WKS
雖然社會上至今仍有部分人堅持"你有你講，我有我講"，繼續盲目質疑，甚至堅信在西九龍站實施"一地兩檢"便會破壞香港的"一國兩制"，剝奪香港人的利益和權益。
Even to this day some people in society still insist on saying whatever they like with total disregard for the opinions of others clinging on to their blind scepticism and holding fast to even the conviction that the implementation of co - location arrangement at WKS means undermining the principle of one country two systems of Hong Kong and stripping Hong Kong people of their interests and rights
亦有很多反對派議員在議會內千方百計，務求拖延《條例草案》的通過，甚至將之拉倒，令"一地兩檢"安排無法如期在西九龍站實施。
There are also Members from the opposition camp who have employed all sort of tricks in an attempt to stall if not scupper the Bills passage so as to forestall the implementation of co - location at WKS as scheduled
反對派可能因此達到他們的政治任務和目的，但同時會影響高鐵無法如期在今年第三季通車；更嚴重的是，此舉會損害香港市民的整體利益。
The opposition camp may accomplish their political mission and reach their goals with these acts but at the cost of XRL failing to begin operation in the third quarter this year as scheduled . Worse still it will prove detrimental to the overall interests of Hong Kong people
因此，為了香港好、香港人好，我希望市民能理性思考這問題，對特區政府和中央政府多些信心，支持《條例草案》早日通過。
Hence for the benefit of Hong Kong and its people I hope the public can consider this problem rationally place more faith in the SAR Government and the Central Government and support the expeditious passage of the Bill
顯然，"沙中線涉嫌造假"事件性質危急，現時亦成為輿論的焦點。
The alleged falsification of SCL reports which has currently become the focus of media attention is apparently urgent in nature
在正常的議會狀況下，我們這兩天的討論不會圍繞"一地兩檢"，而理應討論"沙中線涉嫌造假"事件。
Under normal circumstances the Council would not have been focusing our discussion on the co - location arrangement in these two days . Instead we should have discussed the alleged falsification of SCL reports
討論內地口岸區以租賃方式交予內地相關單位使用的安排，並不符合《基本法》規定，因為基本上香港屬國家所有。
It is against the Basic Law to discuss the arrangement under which MPA is handed over for use by relevant Mainland authorities by way of lease because Hong Kong is basically owned by the State
這種關係令人感到非常尷尬，亦非常可笑。
This relationship is rather embarrassing and ludicrous
這並非單純是香港人或香港社會的耻辱，而是國家的耻辱。
This will not merely be a disgrace to Hong Kong people or the Hong Kong society but also a disgrace to the State
屬這個管理層次政府之間的《合作安排》，須交由中共憲制內較高層次的權力機構確認。
Any Co - operation Arrangement between governments at this administrative level has to be endorsed by authorities at a superior level under the constitutional system of the Communist Party
