試想一想，這些一線和最受歡迎的歌手均要爭奪紅館的演唱會檔期，而且動輒需要輪候4年甚至7年也不果，最終要"執死雞"才能如願，香港的大型表演場地是否嚴重不足？
Come to think about it All these leading and most popular singers have to compete for time slots in the Hong Kong Coliseum for holding their concerts and they are often required to wait four years and even seven years to no avail . Finally they can only hold their concerts by taking up time slots vacated by other singers so there is really a serious shortage of large performing venues in Hong Kong right?
究竟香港政府是否支持興建本地文化藝術表演場地呢？
Does the Government of Hong Kong support the building of performing venues for local culture and arts?
事實上，這個場地業經民間討論多年，業界殷切希望能在九龍西市中心興建大型表演場地，可說是期待已久，但最終卻要讓位予香港故宮文化博物館，可見政府是如何漠視本地演藝界、藝術單位的需求。
But what is the truth? . As a matter of fact the plan has been under discussion in civil society for many years and trade members have expressed their keen hope for a large performing venue in the city centre of West Kowloon . Its development is much awaited but in the end the plan had to give way to the development of the Hong Kong Palace Museum and from this we can see how the Government has neglected the aspirations of the local entertainment industry and arts groups
最近業界指出，香港每年白白浪費了舉行最少200場大型表演的機會，當中牽涉10億元收入。
Some trade members pointed out recently that Hong Kong had wasted the opportunities of staging at least 200 large - scale performances every year and a revenue of 1 billion was involved
主席，最近世界盃吸引了數以萬計的旅客到俄羅斯觀看球賽，世界各地的球迷亦透過電視欣賞大型賽事，大大提升了俄羅斯的國際形象，並對當地的經濟帶來莫大的幫助。
President with ten thousands of visitors being recently attracted by the FIFA World Cup to watch soccer matches in Russia and soccer fans all over the world watching matches of this mega event through television the international image of Russia was enormously enhanced and its economy was also greatly boosted
香港作為國際城市，亦應該舉辦更多不同的盛事，為香港的經濟帶來更多新動力。
As a cosmopolitan city Hong Kong should organize more mega events of different nature so as to bring more new impetus to the Hong Kong economy
不過，香港現正面對土地問題。
However Hong Kong is now facing land problem
香港其實不是沒有土地，但土地運用受到很多不同的限制，有些人要求土地只用作興建公屋。
In fact Hong Kong is not without land but the usage of land is subject to many different restrictions and some people even request that our land should only be used for construction of public housing
如果按照這些思維及香港現時的發展速度，香港的文化藝術及體育發展將會面對很大困難。
Given this mindset and the existing pace of development in Hong Kong the cultural arts and sports development in Hong Kong will face great difficulties
以前有人批評香港是文化沙漠，我們亦經常討論沒有足夠場地做運動的問題。
In the past some people criticized that Hong Kong was a cultural desert and we often discussed the shortage of sports venues
的而且確，我們希望香港成為一個宜居城市，當然需要發展經濟，令市民可以安居樂業，亦要在不同方面提升市民的生活質素。
It is true that if we want Hong Kong to become a liveable city we surely will need to develop our economy so that our people can live in peace and work in contentment and need to enhance peoples living quality in various aspects
我們需要地方居住、需要地方工作、需要地方作休閒娛樂：想看戲、看演唱會或約朋友一起打球。
We need places to live places to work and places for entertainment such as places to watch a movie attend a concert or play sports with friends
主席，說易行難，但亦有人反對這樣做，將問題政治化。
President it is always easier said than done . There are some people who oppose these suggestions and politicize the issue
若這裏不許動，那裏要興建公屋，這樣的話香港還怎可以是一個生活多元化的社會呢？
If these sites cannot be developed while those sites have to be reserved for construction of public housing how can Hong Kong become a diversified society?
再者，我們還記得啟德體育園申請撥款的過程多麼艱難。
Besides we still remember the many obstacles in the funding application procedures for building the Multi - purpose Sports Complex at Kai Tak
很多年前，香港申辦亞運也被阻止。
Many years ago there was also opposition to Hong Kongs bidding to host the Asian Games
今天的議案名為"開拓場地，創造空間"。
Today the motion is titled Developing venues and creating room
當我們有辦法增加土地，可以創造空間來興建場地、舉辦表演、展覽和體育設施時，卻又遇上巨大的推行阻力，令我們要諮詢再諮詢，土地白白在閒置"曬太陽"，何年何月才可以提供場地給香港團體使用？
When we meet strong resistance after we have identified some ways to create more land for development or create room for the construction of venues for performances exhibitions and sports facilities so that we have to conduct consultations again while the land sites will be left idle under the sun exactly when can we provide venues for use by the organizations in Hong Kong?
而且，不單大型團體和活動需要場地，小型團體創作、訓練亦需要地方，才可以讓相關發展落地生根。
Besides not only big organizations and large scale activities need venues but small groups also need venues for creative work and training so that the development can take root in our society
主席，香港人要生計，亦要生活；想要豐富香港的文化氣息，幫助香港人建立運動習慣，我們需要場地。
President Hong Kong people need to consider for their livelihood as well as for their lifestyle . In order to enrich Hong Kongs cultural ambience and help Hong Kong people develop a habit of regular exercise we need venues
只有積極增加土地，加快落 實推行，有政策限制便盡快修改，需要土地便盡快平整，這樣我們才真正做到發展文藝康樂。
Only if we actively create more land sites and expeditiously implement the policy modify the policy constraints and conduct site levelling work can we really develop culture arts recreation and sports
主席，本人謹此陳辭。
President I so submit . positive
第三，是關於陳淑莊議員的修正案建議，檢討康樂設施的預訂程序。
Third it is about Ms Tanya CHANs amendment which proposes to review the booking procedure for recreation and sports facilities
應該立即更換才對，這便是政府現時處事的官僚作風，設施明顯落後，還要香港市民等，如果知道有問題，其實無需等到系統預算使用的年期才更換，應該立即更換。
The facility is obviously outdated . But the Government keeps Hong Kong people waiting . In fact if the Government is well aware of the problem it should not wait for the expiry of the useful life of the system but replace it immediately
最後，我想談陳淑莊議員在修正案中建議的"休憩習慣與康樂喜愛研究"。
Lastly I wish to talk about the Study of Leisure Habits and Recreation Preferences mentioned in Ms Tanya CHANs amendment . The Study was conducted in 1995
原來該研究是在1995年進行，不知道大家是否記得我已記不起那時大家使用甚麼手機或電腦型號，香港人現在的習慣已完全改變，如果政府現在仍然依賴這麼陳舊的分析資料制訂政策，確實令人慘不忍睹，政府跟我們談甚麼開放數據或搞大數據分析，原來它自己卻不做，試問又怎可以令香港人信服政府真的能做到呢？
The habits of Hong Kong people have completely changed . It is indeed appalling if the Government is still using this age - old analysis to formulate policies . The Government has been preaching open data and big data to us but it does not practise them itself then how could it convince Hong Kong people that it can achieve them?
所以，我十分支持陳議員這項建議。
I thus strongly support Ms CHANs proposal
劉國勳議員，由於葉劉淑儀議員及陳淑莊議員的修正案已獲得通過，請動議你經修改的修正案。
Mr LAU Kwok - fan as the amendments of Mrs Regina IP and Ms Tanya CHAN have been passed you may move your revised amendment
主席，我動議我經修改的修正案，進一步修正經葉劉淑儀議員及陳淑莊議員修正的馬逢國議員議案。
President I move that Mr MA Fung - kwoks motion as amended by Mrs Regina IP and Ms Tanya CHAN be further amended by my revised amendment
代理主席，我代表自由黨支持馬逢國議員的議案。
Deputy President on behalf of the Liberal Party I support Mr MA Fung - kwoks motion
在我發言前，我首先申報我是香港話劇團理事。
Before I deliver my speech I have to declare that I am a Council Member of the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre
代理主席，為使香港的體育界與國際接軌、建立香港文化樞紐地位，自由黨認為政府當局確實有需要開拓更多場地、創造空間，推動體育界進一步發展及拓展文化藝術產業。
Deputy President for the sports sector of Hong Kong to be aligned with the world and for Hong Kong to build up its status as a cultural hub the Liberal Party thinks that the Administration has a real need to develop more venues and create room to promote further development of the sports sector and develop the cultural and arts industries
我記得我在今年年初，代表香港話劇團出席財政司司長舉辦有關藝術發展方面的財政預算案諮詢會，出席的數十個與藝術發展相關的團體基本上有3個訴求：第一，希望政府多撥資源以支持藝術發展的工作；第二，提供更多表演及培訓場地；第三，提供額外資源以支持各種形式的海外文化交流活動，以擴闊本地藝團的視野。
As I recall I represented the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre to attend the Budget consultation session concerning arts development organized by the Financial Secretary early this year and basically three requests were raised by the representatives for the few dozen organizations in relation to arts development attending the session . First it is hoped that more resources can be allocated by the Government to support arts development work . Second it is hoped that more performance and training venues can be provided
今天，我會集中討論第二部分有關表演及培訓場地的需要。
Today I will focus on the second request pertaining to the demand for performance and training venues
首先，當局應善用空置校舍和土地。
First of all the authorities should make proper use of vacant school premises and land sites
香港是彈丸之地，缺少空間，香港藝團對閒置單位需求非常大，中小型劇團或藝團一直希望爭取政府能提供空置校舍，進行多元化的藝術教育活動或作為排練與創作等用途。
While Hong Kong is a small place and in lack of space Hong Kong arts troupes have a huge demand for vacant premises . Small and medium - sized theatre companies or arts troupes have been urging the Government to provide them with vacant school premises for conducting diversified arts education activities or for rehearsal purpose and creative work
截至2017年4月底，全港共有183幅空置校舍用地。
As at the end of April 2017 there were a total of 183 vacant school premises in Hong Kong
不過，部分空置校舍早已殘破不堪。
However some of the vacant school premises are already seriously dilapidated
雖然政府在2018-2019年度財政預算案已 預留10億元作修復工程，但我認為除了基本的校舍修復工作外，政府亦要多撥額外資源為這些場地進行部分改建，以適合各類型藝術的表演或培訓之用。
Even though the Government has already earmarked 1 billion in the 2018 - 2019 Budget for the rehabilitation work I think apart from basic rehabilitation work for school premises the Government also has to allocate additional resources so that these premises can be partially converted into places suitable for various kinds of arts performance or training usage
部分校舍位置偏遠，甚至無路可通而不能使用，所以當局在開放閒置校舍及土地時，也要在地理位置、交通和人流等方面多作研究，務求達到活化空置校舍、為其所在地區增值，釋放空間以紓緩場地不足的問題。
Given the remoteness and poor accessibility of some idle school premises before opening up the vacant school premises and land sites the authorities should conduct more studies concerning their geographical locations transportation and people flow so as to revitalize the vacant school premises add value to their respective districts and release space to alleviate the problem of venue shortage
同時，當局可研究政府與民間合作，共同投資興建新劇場或改建舊戲院等。
Meanwhile the authorities can study collaboration between the Government and the community . They can invest together in the construction of new theatres or rebuilding of old cinemas
例如考慮把北角馬寶道的陳慶社區會堂拆卸，再加上利用旁邊的籃球場，興建一座表演藝術中心，創造更多藝術空間。
For instance they can consider demolishing Chan Hing Community Hall at Marble Road North Point and joining this site with the adjacent basketball court for the construction of a performing arts centre with a view to creating more room for arts
政府亦可撥出土地給有興趣發展文化產業的民間團體斥資興建新劇場，以發展演藝市場。
The Government can also allocate some land to those community groups interested in developing cultural industries to construct new theatres on their own expenses in order to develop the performing arts market
環顧海外，不少有志發展藝術的私人基金會，均成功地把原非藝術場所的大型廢置建築活化為創意藝術基地。
Around the world not a few private foundations aspired to develop arts have successfully revitalized some large vacant buildings which were not originally used for arts venues into creative arts bases . Let us take Shanghai as an example
以上海為例，成立於2012年10月的上海當代藝術博物館，便是由原南市發電廠改造而來，這是中國大陸第一家公立當代藝術博物館，也是上海雙年展主場館，而莫斯科亦有活化廢置發電廠為美術館的例子。
The Power Station of Art established in October 2012 was renovated from the former Nanshi Power Plant . It is Chinas first state run contemporary art museum and the Shanghai Biennale is also hosted there . There are also examples of revitalizing dilapidated power plants into arts museums in Moscow
此外，政府正推行共享體育設施，例如開放學校設施予外間團體舉辦體育活動，我認為方向正確。
Besides the Government is also promoting co - sharing of sports facilities such as opening up school facilities to outside bodies to organize sports activities
但是，長遠而言，當局應鼓勵學校開放禮堂、多用途活動室或有蓋操場等地方，租借予文化藝術團體使用，進一步開放空間。
In my view this direction is right but in the long run the authorities should encourage the schools to open up their halls multi - purpose rooms or covered playgrounds to be rented by cultural and arts troupes with a view to further opening up the room
我認為，要進一步推動文藝產業及體育發展，政府必須檢視活化工廈政策。
In my opinion in order to further promote cultural and arts industries and sports development the Government must review the policy of revitalizing industrial buildings
近年，政府針對工廈違反地契而採取執管行動，不少進駐工廈的藝團因其活動與城市規劃委員會頒布的"工廈用途"的定義不符，相繼收到警告信，更有團體須遷出單位，甚至結業。
In recent years enforcement action has been taken by the Government on breaches of land leases of industrial buildings . Not a few arts troupes renting places in the industrial buildings received warning letters because their activities were not in line with the definition of use of industrial buildings announced by the Town Planning Board . As a result some arts troupes have to move out of the units and even close their businesses
其實，一般中小型藝團表演或工作室，都迫切需要安全、穩定及價廉的地方進行創作和排練，這類藝團大多數不會對公眾、樓宇及消防構成危險。
In fact general small and medium - sized arts troupes and workshops earnestly need some safe stable and inexpensive places for their creative work and rehearsals and most of these arts troupes will not pose hazards to the public the buildings and fire safety
政府曾建議考慮將低層部分容許藝團使用，自由黨希望當局能加快研究，以放寬工廈低層單位作非工業用途，以免浪費資源。
The Government has once proposed that it would consider allowing arts troupes to use the lower floors of industrial buildings . The Liberal Party hopes that the authorities can expedite the study to relax the regulation so that the lower floors of industrial buildings can be used for non - industrial purposes to avoid wasting resources
此外，當局亦可研究向工廈租用部分樓層，再以低於市價的價值租予藝團或體育界，或者在商業大廈內及市區重建項目中，規定部分樓層讓表演團體使用。
In addition the authorities can also study hiring certain floors of industrial buildings and then re - letting them out at a rate below market price to arts troupes or the sports sector or designating certain floors of commercial buildings and urban renewal projects for use by performing groups
如此，既可善用寬敞的空置單位，亦可減低團體的租金壓力、釋放創意空間，更可吸引藝團或體育周邊相關的配件銷售同時在工廈內運作，構成更完整的生態圈。
In this way the spacious vacant units can be made good use of the rental pressure of performing groups can also be reduced more creative room can be released and the selling activities of arts or sports related products can even be attracted to conduct inside industrial buildings thus rendering the ecological environment more desirable
最後，創造表演藝術空間需要具有文化創意思維的主事者與機制，我建議政府成立一個跨部門協作的工作小組，制訂及推行有效政策，改善政府與演藝團體之間的溝通，帶領本港創意產業的發展，同時推出支援策略，支持各式的海外文化交流活動。
Finally the creation of room for performing arts would need some leading people with cultural and creative thinking and a mechanism . I would suggest the Government to set up an inter - departmental working group to formulate and launch effective policies improve communication between the Government and the performing groups lead the development of local creative industries and introduce supportive strategies to support all sorts of overseas cultural exchange activities
市民對於文化、康體設施的需求日趨殷切， 但現時有不少設施的使用量已接近飽和狀態，場地空間的供求失衡，逐漸成為本港文化藝術及康體發展的一大障礙。
While the public demand for cultural recreational and sports facilities is on the rise the utilization rate of many facilities is approaching capacity at present . The unbalanced demand and supply of venues have gradually created a major barrier to the development of the local culture arts recreation and sports
主席，香港經濟民生聯盟認為要妥善解決這方面的問題，方法離不開短、中、長期的政策措施。
President the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong BPA deems that problems in this regard cannot be properly solved without short - term medium - term and long - term policies and measures
例如特區政府預留了大嶼山竹篙灣一幅約60公頃的土地，供香港迪士尼樂園第二期發展之用。
For example the SAR Government has reserved a site measuring some 60 hectares at Pennys Bay on Lantau Island for the development of Hong Kong Disneyland HKDL Phase 2
該幅土地已閒置多年，社會上早有意見認為，在樂園未有具體發展計劃前，政府應考慮各類的短期用途，包括用作休憩、體育及文化設施。
As that piece of land has remained idle for many years there have long been views in the community that the Government should consider using the land for different short - term uses such as facilities for leisure sports and culture before HKDL has any specific development plan
近日傳媒報道，有籌辦商計劃向政府提交申請，以短期租約形式，興建一個全新的歐洲風格鮮花主題公園，引入花園旅遊的新概念，提升本港整體的旅遊吸引力。
As recently reported in the media an organizer plans to apply to the Government for a short - term tenancy to build a European design flower - themed garden which is new to Hong Kong . With the introduction of this new concept of garden tourism Hong Kongs overall attractiveness to tourists will be enhanced
我認為這個計劃很值得支持，有關各方應積極促成此項目。
So I think this project is worthy of support and relevant parties should make every effort to take this project forward
同時，政府應該及時優化現有各項文化及康體設施的場地租賃政策，包括杜絕炒賣場地使用權的情況。
Meanwhile the Government should make timely improvement to the existing leasing policy of cultural recreational and sports facilities including adopting measures to curb touting activities
在中期措施方面，當局應該加快落實已啟動的文化及康體設施大型項目。
As for medium - term measures the authorities should expedite major projects of cultural recreational and sports facilities which have already commenced
主席，我及經民聯的議員多年來積極促使政府推動香港體育事業發展，亦支持興建啟德體育園等項目的撥款。
President over the years I myself and Members of BPA have been playing an active part in urging the Government to promote sports development in Hong Kong and we have also supported the funding for various construction works such as Kai Tak Sports Park
我們樂見耗資250億港元的啟德體育園在2016年動工，估計在2021年的第三季投入服務，屆時可舉辦更多國際級比賽及盛事，帶動香港體育和旅遊業的發展。
We are pleased to see that Kai Tak Sports Park which costs HK25 billion commenced works in 2016 and is expected to be put into service in the third quarter of 2021 . By then we will be able to hold more international competitions and mega events thereby fostering the development of sports and tourism in Hong Kong
至於文化設施，隨着立法會財務委員會在2008年7月批准一筆過撥款216億元，西九文化區將分階段發展成為集藝術、教育及公共空間於一身的文化區。
As for cultural facilities with the approval of an upfront endowment of HK21.6 billion by the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council in July 2008 the West Kowloon Cultural District WKCD will be developed in phases to turn the area into a cultural quarter combining art education and public space
我謹此申報，我現為西九文化區管理局的董事局成員，但並無金錢利益。
I hereby declare that I am a Board member of the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority WKCDA but I have no pecuniary interest
西九文化區第一期的工程包括M+展亭、戲曲中心等，部分已經落成，部分將在未來一兩年逐步啟用，而第二期的部分工程亦已展開。
The construction works in phase one of the WKCD include M Pavilion Xiqu Centre etc . Some of these facilities have been completed and some will be open to the public gradually in one to two years . As for construction works of phase two some have already commenced also
當然，我希望特區政府審時度勢，加快興建西九文化區餘下的第三批文化設施，然而，僅有美輪美奐的硬件設施是不足夠的，還需要其他配套。
Certainly I hope that the SAR Government will size up the situation and expeditiously construct the remaining Batch 3 cultural facilities of the WKCD . Nevertheless it is not enough to have marvellous hardware facilities only . There need to be something else to match up with them
在5月29日，西九文化區的香港故宮文化博物館舉行了動土儀式，預料在2022年的上半年落成。
On 29 May the ground - breaking ceremony of the Hong Kong Palace Museum at WKCD was held . It is expected that the museum will be completed in the first half of 2022
該項目得到中央政府的大力支持，博物館將展出各類國寶級文物藏品。
A project with strong backing from the Central Government the museum will exhibit various types of national heritage collections
去年，國家主席習近平來港視察期間，親自見證西九文化區管理局及故宮博物院簽署合作協議，而香港賽馬會亦捐贈350億元以承擔建館費用。
During his visit to Hong Kong last year President XI Jinping witnessed WKCDA and the Palace Museum signing a collaboration agreement . Also the Hong Kong Jockey Club has donated HK35 billion to pay for the costs of constructing the museum
但是，正如特首林鄭月娥十分感慨地指出，自項目公布後，因本 港泛政治化的環境而出現一些波折，甚至面對司法覆核等挑戰的困擾，可謂好事多磨。
However just as Chief Executive Carrie LAM lamented after the announcement of the project the project suffered some setbacks and was even plagued by challenges like judicial review because of the politicized environment in Hong Kong . It can be said that the project is preceded by trials and tribulations
幸好，最終雨過天青，能落實建設西九文化區的初衷，即打造一個代表香港的大型綜合文化藝術中心。
Yet it is fortunate that everything turns out fine and we can achieve the original vision for the development of WKCD that is building a large - scale integrated cultural and art centre which can represent Hong Kong
主席，長遠而言，特區政府應該盡快完成《香港2030+：跨越2030年的規劃遠景與策劃》的更新研究，為未來規劃更多文化及康體設施。
President in the long run the SAR Government should expeditiously complete the update study of Hong Kong 2030 Towards a Planning Vision and Strategy Transcending 2030 so as to make plans for the construction of more cultural and recreational facilities in the future . But as we all know Hong Kong is plagued by an acute shortage of land which affects housing supply and development of industrial and commercial land . That said we should not be short - sighted and more importantly avoid acting haphazardly
眾所周知，香港土地短缺問題嚴峻，影響房屋供應及工商百業用地的拓展，但我們不能目光短淺，更忌病急亂投醫，土地供應專責小組正開展第二輪的公眾參與活動，引發極大爭議的其中一個選項，相信便是粉嶺高爾夫球場應否收回建屋。
The Task Force on Land Supply is currently launching the second round of public engagement exercise . One of the most contentious options I believe is whether the Government should recover Fanling Golf Course for housing development . In Hong Kong many members of the public are golf - lovers and many young people are learning to play golf
我認為要發展體育文化，地方當然很重要，如果沒有地方，便難以進行訓練或練習。
In my opinion venues are definitely crucial to the development of sports culture . Without venues it will be difficult for any training or practice to take place
而第二個很重要的元素，我便認為是社會氣氛，即社會對體育和文化發展的看法。
As for the second important factor I think it is social atmosphere that is the attitude of the society towards the development of sports and culture
很多人認為年輕人打球和游泳等，進行各方面的體育運動，對健康很重要，而社會現在亦很鼓勵大家多做運動，保持身體健康，但是，在世界其他地方，體育運動除了是為身體健康而進行的活動，也是一門事業，更可變成一項產業。
Many people think that for young people doing various sports say playing ball games and swimming is important for their health . And nowadays we are also strongly encouraged to do more sports in order to keep ourselves strong and healthy . However in other parts of the world sports can be a career option and can even become an industry apart from being activities done for the sake of good health
但是，在香港則無法做到這一點，尤其是社會氣氛方面，家長認為年輕人進行體育運動，玩玩就好，將來還是要藉讀書成為專業人士，那樣才可養妻活兒，成家立室。
Notwithstanding this is not going to happen in Hong Kong especially when we consider the social atmosphere . Parents think that young people should only do sports for fun and leisure as ultimately they will have to study to be professionals so that they can set up home and raise a family
現時許多很成功的香港運動員，例如早年的滑浪風帆好手李麗珊、單車好手黃金寶，近年就有踏單車的李慧詩、打桌球的吳安儀及打高爾夫球的陳芷澄，他們都是靠自己的努力和付出時間，令自己成 為世界知名的運動員。
At present many Hong Kong athletes who have a successful career gain their international fame by devoting their effort and time in their sports
我相信他們大部分人都沒有得到甚麼政府資助或培訓......
I believe most of them do not receive any government subsidy or training Sarah LEE does but I believe the other two probably do not get much support
這就證明香港有這類人才，而且他們有決心和韌力去發展運動事業。
Evidently this kind of talents can be found in Hong Kong and they are determined and persistent to develop their careers in sports
所以，我覺得今天只討論場地並不足夠，還需要全面檢討整體的體育及文化政策。
Therefore I think it is not enough for us to discuss only about venues today . We need to have a complete review on the overall sports and cultural policy as well
政府應考慮如何推動創意文化和體育運動，令它們變成一種終身事業，使年青人不用在短暫的運動或創作生涯後，擔心工作和收入如何。
The Government should consider how it should promote creative and cultural industries as well as sports . When these are turned into lifelong careers young people will be free from worries about finding a job and getting an income after a brief sporting career or creative life
例如年青人成為世界級的運動員後，能否有第二步、第三步的發展呢？
For instance having become world - class athletes will young people be able to advance further and further in their careers?
就此，我希望特區政府今天除了考慮發展場地外，還要檢討創意文化和體育文化的整體政策，令年青人有多一個選擇，未來有多些他們喜歡的終身事業可以選擇。
In this connection I hope that the SAR Government will not only consider developing venues but also review the overall policy concerning creative culture and sports culture with a view to afford to young people more options . In this way there will be more options for them to pick as their desired lifelong careers in future
另外，在開拓場地和創造空間方面，我認為有一個很好的例子。
In addition as regards developing venues and creating room I think there is a very good example
商務及經濟發展局邱騰華局長在1月時公布，市區重建局在深水埗落實成立一個設計及時裝基地。
In January the Secretary for the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau Mr Edward YAU announced that the Urban Renewal Authority URA will launch a design and fashion project in Sham Shui Po
這市建局項目預留了數萬平方呎地方，為設計及時裝產業提供發展的地方。
This URA project has reserved an area of tens of thousand square metres as the venue for developing the design and fashion industry
