所以，我不認為議會的討論只是一種為支持而支持、為反對而反對的討論，更不是為取得政治籌碼而不斷"掛聖誕樹"。
So I do not think the legislatures discussion is one where Members show support just for the sake of so doing or the other way round still less do I think that Members put forth various proposals with the intention of getting political chips
只要大家拋開成見，我們總有機會尋求最大共識。
As long as we can set aside our prejudices we will be able to reach the greatest agreement somehow
這次議案辯論可謂近期少有般熱鬧，因為包括我在內共有14項修正案。
It is rare to see any motion debate as keen as this one these days because there are altogether 14 amendments including mine
如果前方議員的修正案獲得通過，及至我發言時，便可以讓我扮演"集大成"的角色，因為我對前方大部分的修正案基本上均持支持的態度，而我亦十分希望提出3項建議，包括構建粵港澳大灣區"一小時生活圈"、修訂《稅務條例》第39E及16EC條，以及在香港設立大灣區國際仲裁中心。
If the preceding amendments are all passed I can play the role of consolidating all the views when it is my turn to speak . I say so because I basically support most of the preceding amendments and I am also very eager to put forth three recommendations namely building an one - hour living circle in the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area amending sections 39E and 16EC of the Inland Revenue Ordinance and setting up an international arbitration centre in Hong Kong for the Bay Area
我特別在我的修正案引言部分增加了今年3月國務院發表的政府工 作報告中再度提出的說法："出台實施粵港澳大灣區發展規劃綱要，全面推進內地同香港、澳門互利合作。
In the preamble of my amendment I have added a particular remark which was reiterated in the Report on the Work of the Government issued by the State Council in March this year and it reads We will unveil and implement the development plan for the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area and promote in all areas mutually beneficial cooperation between the Mainland Hong Kong and Macao
"這正正點出大灣區將由概念性、理念性的部署，落實成為具體實施規劃，實在值得期待。
This has precisely pointed out that the Bay Area as a conceptual and abstract plan will be materialized and implemented under specific planning . We honestly look forward to it
中央最近表明支持香港建設為國際創科中心，並藉"資金過河"政策，在很大程度上解決了香港科學家參與國家科技研究的障礙。
Recently the Central Authorities expressed clear support for developing Hong Kong into an international innovation and technology centre and the policy on allowing the cross - boundary flow of capital will be able to resolve the barriers faced by Hong Kong scientists in participating in the countrys technological research to a great extent
當然，據報道，整件事的觸發點是，去年6月24名在港的中國兩院院士致函主席習近平，表達報效祖國的迫切願望和發展創新科技的巨大熱情。
Certainly as reported the whole thing was triggered by 24 Hong Kong academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering who issued a letter to President XI Jinping in June last year to express their desire of contributing to the motherland and also their strong passion for innovation and technology development
無論如何，我相信特區政府已就此付出很大心力，接下來的關鍵在於如何把國家的支持化為實際行動。
Anyway I believe the SAR Government has devoted enormous energies to this matter . The key to the next stage lies in the question of how to translate the countrys support into concrete actions
尤其是大灣區發展規劃即將公布，就香港在區內的創新科技發展，我們要思考將來可擔當甚麼角色。
In particular as the development planning of the Bay Area will soon be announced we must consider the future role of Hong Kong in the development of innovation and technology in the region
我認為，對香港自身擁有的各項固有優勢，我們更應當仁不讓，爭取當"領頭羊"的角色，這未嘗不是好事。
I think that given Hong Kongs various long - standing advantages we should strive to take up the role as the pioneer without hesitation . This can be something good
我以下會就我所提出的修正案的主要內容提出意見和建議。
In the following part of my speech I will put forth my views on the main contents of my amendments and the proposals therein
首先，我認為要構建大灣區"一小時生活圈"。
First I think it is necessary to build the Bay Area one - hour living circle
無可否認，跨境交通基建十分重要，香港將在未來1年開通3項重大跨境基建，這將有助大灣區形成"一小時生活圈"，我相信可吸引越來越多香港人或香港的外籍人士選擇到大灣區創業、就業、上學、旅行、養老，甚至定居。
Undoubtedly cross - boundary transport infrastructure is very important . In the upcoming year Hong Kong will see the commissioning of three major cross - boundary infrastructure facilities and they will be useful to the formation of a one - hour living circle in the Bay Area . I think they can induce more and more Hong Kong people or foreigners in Hong Kong to start up business work study travel spend their twilight years and even live in the Bay Area
不過，另一方面，政府應牽頭做好民生福利，因為政府掌握了大部分福利資源，只有提供有利可圖、有志可伸的切實誘因，才能鼓勵港人參與大灣區發展。
But on the other hand the Government should take the lead to provide satisfactory livelihood and welfare benefits because the Government possesses most of the welfare resources . We can encourage Hong Kong people to participate in the development of the Bay Area only by offering pragmatic incentives that can enable them to make profits and realize their ambitions
商界過去一直面對俗稱"錢不過界"的問題，即多項政府資助項目只限於本港業務，一旦跨出香港便無法享用。
One problem faced by the business sector all along is that money cannot cross the border . This means that many government subsidies are confined to local business only and any business outside Hong Kong is not entitled to such subsidies
相比之下，社會福利署由本年4月起把本來適用於長者到廣東養老的"廣東計劃"再推廣至福建，說明特區政府在福利領域上已逐步打開"錢不過界"的缺口，實現跨境運作。
In contrast in April this year the Social Welfare Department further expanded the coverage of the Guangdong Scheme initially enabling elderly people to spend their twilight years in Guangdong to Fujian . This indicates that the SAR Government has progressively opened a crack in the restriction that money cannot cross the border in the welfare domain and materialized cross - boundary operation
至於醫療方面，本港的醫療券計劃早在2015年率先在香港大學深圳醫院作為試點，便利在深圳居住的港人和長者直接在當地就醫。
As for health care the designation of the University of Hong Kong - Shenzhen Hospital as the first trial place for Hong Kongs Health Care Voucher Scheme as early as 2015 has made it more convenient for Hong Kong people and elderly persons living in Shenzhen to seek direct medical treatment there
凡此種種，均是"福利過界"的好例子，政府更已帶頭嘗試進行。
All these are good examples of cross - boundary entitlement to welfare benefits . The Government has even taken the lead to try out such initiatives
政府的下一步是擴大跨境福利的適用範疇，例如可否在大灣區內興建公屋呢？
The next step that the Government will take is to expand the application scope of cross - boundary welfare benefits . For instance is it possible to construct public housing in the Bay Area?
可否向乘搭廣深港高速鐵路往返兩地的僱員提供跨境 交通津貼呢？
Is it possible to offer cross - boundary transport subsidies to employees commuting between both places on the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link?
凡此種種均須政府拆牆鬆綁，做好跨境福利的速成者和推進者的角色。
The Government must remove the restrictions in all such aspects and properly perform the role of facilitating and promoting cross - boundary welfare benefits
其次，我想討論推動港商參與大灣區建設的問題。
Second I wish to discuss ways to foster Hong Kong businessmens participation in the development of the Bay Area
事實上，工業界多年來建議政府修訂《稅務條例》第39E及16EC條，令廠商可就其境外生產工序中使用的機械設備及知識產權申請免稅額。
Actually over all these years the industrial sector has proposed that the Government should amend sections 39E and 16EC of the Ordinance as a means of enabling Hong Kong manufacturers to claim tax allowances in respect of the machinery equipment and intellectual property rights used in their production procedures outside Hong Kong
然而，政府一直加以拒絕，理由是這項建議可能會被視為鼓勵港商透過轉讓定價安排來轉移公司利潤。
Nevertheless the Government has refused to do so all along on the ground that this proposal may be perceived as a way to encourage their transfer of company profits via transfer pricing
不過，我認為政府堅持不修改做法，正正反映出其思維僵化。
But in my view the Governments adamant refusal to amend the relevant arrangements precisely reflects its rigid mindset
香港納稅人擁有機械人、機器或無形資產的產權，供境外第三方使用，沒有理由因而喪失稅務折扣優惠。
It is unreasonable to rip Hong Kong taxpayers of any tax deductions or concessions just because they provide their robots machinery and intellectual property rights of intangible assets for third - party use outside Hong Kong
現今的生產模式確實不能由自己一方獨力製成，以項目研發為例，往往不易獨力完成，需要跨境合作，一如目前的生產價值鏈般，必須分工。
Under the existing production mode one is honestly unable to produce a product all by oneself . In the case of product research and development for example it is very often not an easy task to complete this all by oneself and cross - boundary cooperation is required . This is the same case with production value chains in present days
從商業實務角度而言，企業會否為了取得香港部分的稅務寬免，放棄整體的業務開拓，把所有研發創新的環節悉數搬回香港呢？
They also require division of labour . From the angle of actual business operation will an enterprise forgo its overall business development and relocate all the research development and innovation segments back to Hong Kong in return for Hong Kongs tax concessions?
這種把分工的優勢效果完全放棄的做法實在不智，我希望政府可重新思考反避稅的原則，看看可否加入彈性元素。
It is simply unwise to forgo the advantages and benefits of division of labour . I hope the Government can reconsider its principle of countering tax avoidance and see if it is possible to add the flexibility element
政府預計本港在2022年的科研開支可望達到本地生產總值的1.5%，持續加強對創新科技資源的投入，是正確的發展方向。
The Government projects that Hong Kongs technological research expenditure can reach 1.5 % of the Gross Domestic Product by 2022 . Increasing resource commitment for innovation and technology is a correct development direction
總括而言，如果政府能在稅務上作出支援，加入彈性政策，我相信有助改善創科輸入及輸出成果不匹配的發展漏洞。
To sum up I believe the Governments provision of taxation support and addition of flexible policies will help to rectify the development loophole marked by a shortfall between the inputs and outcomes of innovation and technology
再者，我認為香港要利用香港在國際仲裁服務的優勢，爭取香港成為大灣區解決法律糾紛及商業合同爭議的仲裁基地，並把這種區域合作的仲裁模式向國際推廣。
Besides I think Hong Kong should capitalize on its advantages in its international arbitration services strive to turn Hong Kong into an arbitration base for resolving legal conflicts and commercial contract disputes in the Bay Area and promote this arbitration mode based on regional cooperation in the international community
倫敦大學瑪麗皇后學院在2015年公布的調查結果顯示，香港國際仲裁中心在全球仲裁機構中排名第三，僅次於倫敦和巴黎這兩個傳統老牌國際仲裁中心。
According to the survey outcomes released by Queen Mary University of London in 2015 the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre HKIAC ranked third in all arbitration institutions worldwide and was only next to the two conventional and well - established arbitration centres of London and Paris
同時，香港被評為歐洲以外的首選仲裁地，並且是過去5年發展第二快的仲裁地方。
At the same time Hong Kong was also rated as the first choice for arbitration outside Europe and the second - fastest growing arbitration venue in the previous five years
香港國際仲裁中心其實早在1985年成立，以處理跨國商業糾紛。
HKIAC was actually set up as early as 1985 to handle cross - national commercial disputes
香港不單是亞太區歷史悠久的仲裁機構之一，而近年所處理的仲裁數目更是亞洲第二位。
Not only is HKIAC an arbitration institution with a very long history in the Asia - Pacific region but the number of arbitration cases it has handled in recent years also ranks second in Asia
香港在2015年在中國自由貿易試驗區開設代表處，成為第一家在中國內地開設代表處的境外仲裁機構。
In 2015 HKIAC set up an office in the China Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone and it was the first overseas arbitration institution that had set up an office in Mainland China
目前的問題在於香港如何利用既有優勢，吸引更多內地和境外企業在涉及大灣區或"一帶一路"的商業交易中，利用香港作為解決爭議 的地方。
The question at stake is how Hong Kong should capitalize on its long - standing advantages to induce more Mainland and overseas enterprises to use Hong Kong as a venue for resolving commercial transaction disputes involving the Bay Area or the One Belt One Road
凡此種種，均應成為特區政府、香港法律界及仲裁業界未來一段時間努力進取的着力點。
This should be the major area requiring ambitious efforts from the SAR Government Hong Kongs legal profession and the arbitration industry for quite some time in the future
就此，我有下列兩項建議。
In this connection I have two proposals as follows
第一，充分利用香港在國際仲裁服務的優勢，積極應對國際貿易衝突的加劇勢頭，特別是在知識產權領域運用仲裁解決爭端。
First optimizing Hong Kongs advantages in international arbitration services to proactively cope with the trend of intensifying international trade disputes . In particular we should resort to arbitration as a means of resolving disputes in the intellectual property right domain
美國最近主動挑起與中國的貿易衝突，並已蔓延至科技領域，引起大家對知識產權的關注，例如專利、商標、版權和工業知識等。
The trade dispute recently started by the United States against China has spread to the technology domain . This has aroused peoples concern about intellectual property rights such as patents trademarks copyrights and industry knowledge
我認為，在香港進行仲裁的爭議不單可涵蓋在香港註冊或存在的知識產權，亦應可涵蓋在其他司法管轄區註冊或已存在的知識產權。
In my view dispute arbitration in Hong Kong may cover intellectual property rights which are registered or exist in not only Hong Kong but also other jurisdictions
第二，特區政府可牽頭與內地相關部門聯繫，落實與內地相關仲裁機構的合作，例如以香港作為基地，構建新的大灣區和"一帶一路"仲裁中心，藉以理順兩地的仲裁制度，取長補短，發揮更大的協同效應。
Second the SAR Government can take the lead to liaise with the Mainland departments concerned on materializing cooperation with the relevant Mainland arbitration institutions such as developing a new arbitration centre based in Hong Kong for the Bay Area and the One Belt One Road as a means of rationalizing the arbitration systems of both places learning from each other and achieving greater synergies
主席，我動議我經修改的修正案，進一步修正經盧偉國議員、容海恩議員、姚思榮議員、廖長江議員、何啟明議員及蔣麗芸議員修正的林健鋒議員議案。
President I move that Mr Jeffrey LAMs motion as amended by Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok Ms YUNG Hoi - yan Mr YIU Si - wing Mr Martin LIAO Mr HO Kai - ming and Dr CHIANG Lai - wan be further amended by my revised amendment
主席，立法會議員早前到大灣區考察。
President Members of the Legislative Council earlier paid a fact - finding visit to the Bay Area
事實上，大家早已聽聞內地的發展一日千里，現在親眼目睹，的確有很深刻的感受。
We have long since heard of the rapid development in the Mainland but the things we saw with our own eyes this time around really impress us very deeply . We saw many achievements in this visit
今次考察所見所聞，如果說到尖端科技，有東莞的"散裂中子源"項目，說到金融科技有深圳的微眾銀行，說到民生科技有深圳市交警智能交通指揮中心。
In the field of cutting - edge technologies we visited the China Spallation Neutron Source facility in Dongguan . In the area of financial technology we saw the WeBank of Shenzhen . And in the sphere of technological application in peoples daily life we visited the Shenzhen Traffic Police Intelligent Traffic Command Center
我相信大家參觀後均會認為香港真的要急起直追。
I believe that after the visit all of us will agree that Hong Kong must catch up at full throttle
我相信粵港澳大灣區將會成為香港發展的新引擎，成為本港的新出路。
I think the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area is set to become a new locomotive of Hong Kongs development and a new way out for the city
事實上，香港經濟嚴重傾斜於金融及地產業，表面上香港仍然很風光，但本地市場日益狹窄，實際是一直"食老本"，競爭力不進則退。
Actually the Hong Kong economy is heavily tilted towards the financial and real estate industries and this gives Hong Kong a veneer of prosperity . But underneath this the local market has kept shrinking driving our city to live off its savings . At the same time our competitiveness has kept dwindling due to the lack of progress
最近，香港已經失去競爭力榜首的位置，被美國超越，正好為我們敲響警鐘。
Recently Hong Kong has been overtaken by the United States and lost the top competitiveness ranking to it . The alarm has already been sounded
面對被嚴重扭曲的經濟結構，香港社會承擔着不少惡果，特別是年青人沒有上游的機會。
The seriously deformed economy has inflicted many adverse consequences on our society the most notable example being young peoples lack of opportunities for upward mobility
要解決這些問題，我們一定要為香港開拓更廣闊的前路，而大灣區的發展勢必成為香港未來經濟增長的重要動力。
To solve these problems we must open up wider prospects for Hong Kong . The development of the Bay Area will certainly be an important impetus for Hong Kongs economic growth in the future
另一方面，在互聯網的時代，市場已經沒有地域限制，香港的銷售和服務對象已經不再局限於本地，而是可以放大至大灣區的城市，令香港的商機可以幾何級數地上升，發展潛力十分巨大。
And the advent of the Internet age has seen the disappearance of geographic markets meaning that the sales of Hong Kong goods and services are no longer limited to local consumers . Rather the scope of sales can be expanded to Bay Area cities . In this way our business opportunities will increase exponentially unleashing huge development potentials for Hong Kong
同時，港珠澳大橋和高鐵相繼落成，建構成"1.5小時生活圈"，香港無論在市場上或生活上，已經可以放眼大灣區各個城市。
Meanwhile the completion of the Express Rail Link XRL and the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge will see the formation of a 1.5 - hour living circle . This means that Hong Kong people can turn to other Bay Area cities both as markets and as places of living
香港不可以再劃地為牢，必須盡快投入大灣區的發展之中。
Hong Kong must stop isolating itself . It must participate in Bay Area development as soon as possible
如果香港繼續將一切視而不見，繼續只是依靠現有規模、有限的本地市場，香港難免陷入邊緣化的危機。
If Hong Kong keeps ignoring all these and continues to count on its tiny home market at present its marginalization will be unavoidable
香港是國際金融和商業中心，有大量專業人才，可以為大灣區各城市提供金融和商業服務，包括協助區內創科企業融資或進軍海外，令本地金融業能夠進一步造大造強，香港亦可以透過區內創科企業的協助，發展香港的金融科技，以鞏固國際金融中心的地位。
As a financial and commercial centre of the world Hong Kong possesses large numbers of professional talents and can thus provide Bay Area cities with various financial and commercial services . It may for example provide services to the innovation and technology IT enterprises in the Bay Area assisting them in financing or expanding overseas . In this way our financial industry can grow bigger and stronger
此外，香港科技人才缺乏，但廣州大學城有30萬的大專學生，每年有5萬名學生畢業，各類人才齊備，肯定能夠推動本港的創科產業的發展，將科研成果轉化成產品，並為本港年青人製造更多的創科職位。
We know that Hong Kong faces a shortage of technological talents . But over there in Guangzhou University Town there are 300 000 tertiary students and every year 50 000 students will graduate . These are people with expertise in all sorts of professional disciplines and they can definitely boost the development of the IT industry in Hong Kong enabling it to turn scientific research results into commercial products and create more IT job for young people in Hong Kong
目前中央即將公布粵港澳大灣區發展規劃，我們正期待中央推出措施，為本港企業及專業人士拆牆鬆綁，協助他們進入大灣區發展，同時為香港的市民提供更好的措施，協助港人到大灣區生活、升學、就業及創業。
At this very time when the Central Authorities are about to announce the development plan for the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area we hope that the Central Authorities can introduce barrier - removing measures that can assist Hong Kong enterprises and professionals in developing their business and career in the Bay Area . We also hope that the Central Authorities can roll out measures to better assist those Hong Kong people who wish to live study work or set up new businesses in the Bay Area
我相信特區政府已妥善準備，亦有很多企業磨拳擦掌，準備大展拳腳。
I am sure the SAR Government must be all ready by now and many enterprises are likewise all set to expand their businesses in the Mainland . But I think we must note one point here
不過，我認為有一點值得大家留意，便是大灣區會發展，會增加區內市民交流機會，然而本港有不少市民，特別是年青人由於過去較少到國內，可能不習慣國內的生活文化或有些誤解，甚至被人誤導，可能會有抗拒的心態。
Yes the Bay Area is about to witness massive development and this will bring forth many more opportunities for interactions among people in the area . But we should note that many Hong Kong people young people especially have rarely visited the Mainland so the lifestyle and culture over there may be a bit strange to them . They may thus form some wrong ideas or may even be misled by others
政府實在需要多下工夫，多作出解釋和進行宣傳的工作，我相信當他們有機會到大灣區，了解當地發展情況，便會知道大灣區的機遇處處，真是海闊天空，自然消除很多不必要的誤解。
The Government must therefore make more publicity efforts to clarify the matter . I believe that once people have chances to visit the Bay Area and get to know the development over there they will realize that the Bay Area is simply a vast land of opportunities . That way unnecessary misunderstanding can be dispelled in many cases
我也想談談保險業界對大灣區的期望。
I also wish to talk about what the insurance sector expects of the Bay Area
保險業界希望能夠進入區內發展，業界希望政府能夠向中央爭取，容許在香港註冊的公司可以在大灣區擁有國民待遇，降低進入門檻，成立全資的保險公司，可以在大灣區內開業。
The insurance sector wants to enter the Bay Area market . It hopes that the Government can ask the Central Authorities to accord national treatment to Hong Kong - registered companies in the Bay Area . It hopes that the entry threshold can be lowered and wholly - owned insurance companies can be allowed to operate in the Bay Area
如果建議得到落實，本港的保險業將會有巨大的發展空間。
If the proposal is implemented the Hong Kong insurance sector will have vast room for development
此外，香港保險業聯會亦提議推出"大灣區醫保通"計劃，建議容許香港或區內的保險公司，在大灣區內透過互聯網向區內居民銷售合規格的醫療及危疾保險，這項計劃可以由香港保險業聯會成立電子平台，供區內市民選擇合適的保險計劃。
Furthermore the Hong Kong Federation of Insurers also proposes a scheme called Bay Area Medical Insurance under which insurance companies in Hong Kong or the Bay Area are permitted to use the Internet as a channel of selling approved medical and critical illness insurance products to resident in the area . The Hong Kong Federation of Insurers can set up a platform for the scheme so that residents in the area can choose insurance products suitable for them
保險公司更可以與區內的優質醫院結成聯盟，為投保者提供一站式的醫療服務。
Insurance companies can also ally with well - established hospitals in the Bay Area to provide one - stop medical services for the insured
計劃建議先以香港市場單向試行，當平台運作成熟後，再擴大至雙向運作，屆時可以將醫保通推展至大灣區以外的地區，特別是比較偏遠的地方，令更多居民受惠。
It is proposed that a one - way purchase scheme be first tried out in the Hong Kong and that two - way purchase be allowed when the operation of the platform become mature . At that time the scheme can be extended beyond the Bay Area especially to places which are relatively remote so as to benefit more residents
這項計劃的最大好處是，交易是透過電子平台處理，能夠妥善處理資金跨境流動的問題，無須擔心有人利用保險來走資，產品亦受到香港法例的保障。
The greatest merit of this scheme is that transactions are handled via an electronic platform which can properly handle the issue of cross - boundary capital flows . There is no need to worry about people using insurance products as a means of capital flight and the products are protected by the laws of Hong Kong
而且醫保通是採用電子平台，大部分的手續程序，包括投保、申報、索償、理賠和交保費均可以在網上辦理，有助推動本港保險業的科技發展。
Also operating on an electronic platform the scheme allows most of the formalities including enrolment declaration claims submission claims settlement and premium payment to be completed online . This can help encourage technological development in the Hong Kong insurance sector
我們相信這項計劃能夠配合國家的發展策略，亦能惠及區內的居民，更有助推動業界的發展，是多贏的方案。
We believe that this is a win - win scheme which can tie in with the development strategy of the country benefit residents in the area and help promote the development of the sector
不過，鄭議員竟然描述為"請君入甕"、"複製香港"、"吞併香港"，實在太離譜。
But Dr CHENG nonetheless dismissed it as a trap a replica of Hong Kong and an annexation of Hong Kong . This is honestly very ridiculous
鄭議員指香港沒有地利，又說道香港的發展不是因為地利而是自由。
Dr CHENG asserted that Hong Kong did not enjoy any geographical advantages while also saying that Hong Kongs development was founded on its freedoms rather than any geographical advantage
如果地利可以讓一個地方發展起來，那麼冰島一定發展得最好。
If geographical advantages could enable a place to develop then Icelands development would have been the most successful
此外，我希望鄭議員重新閱讀香港的發展歷史。
Besides I hope Dr CHENG can read Hong Kongs development history again
他們均指出希望與香港合作。
They invariably pointed out that they wished to cooperate with Hong Kong
他們的重點是加強溝通、互相合作、包容及發揮互相促進的作用，想法十分正面，沒有人表示打算吞併香港。
Their focus was on enhanced communication mutual cooperation inclusion and achieving mutual facilitation . Their mindset was very positive and nobody expressed any intention to annex Hong Kong
香港是可以有更多作為的，大家不應以狹隘、井底之蛙、自吹自擂的態度看待此事。
Hong Kong can achieve more and Members should not look at this matter with a narrow - minded and self - boasting attitude like the frog in the well which knows nothing about the great ocean
如果他以"轉危為機"的視野，又怎麼會看到大灣區會帶來合作機會呢？
If his mindset is to turn risks into opportunities how can he possibly see that the Bay Area will bring forth opportunities for cooperation?
多位泛民議員這次皆意識到大灣區的發展，我相信親身接觸和感受是非常重要的。
This time around many pan - democratic Members have realized the significance of the Bay Areas development . I believe first - hand experience and impression are very important
當然，這些工作都屬重要，我們完全明白它們的重要性。
These efforts are certainly important and we can fully appreciate their significance
"千里之行，始於足下"。
The completion of a one - thousand mile journey must begin with the first small step as the saying goes
我想重提政府於1993年發表的"促進健康"諮詢文件。
Here I would like to talk about an old consultation document entitled Towards Better Health and published by the Government in 1993
舉例而言，我們的目標，是向45歲至64歲這個年齡層的婦女，提供全面的健康檢查服務。
One objective set down in this document for instance is to provide comprehensive check - up services for women aged between 45 and 64
即使我們已設立長者健康中心，但只能照顧長者人口的4%。
We have set up elderly health centres but they can look after only 4 % of the elderly population
這數字反映我們現在距離目標仍極為遙遠。
The figure reveals that we still have a very long way to go before we can achieve the objective
另一方面，即使是一些我們認為已做得很好的篩查制度，例如大腸癌篩查，參與率也是非常低。
There is one more thing . We may think that certain screening programmes are doing well but even in such cases the participation rates are actually very low
至於基層健康方面，其實，最重要的是及早識別問題所在。
Actually the most important thing about primary health care must be the early identification of health problems
