該些傲慢和自以為是的想法，不幸對部分年輕人造成影響，導致他們在集會、遊行或示威行動時隨意作出破壞公共秩序及公眾安寧的行為。
It is unfortunate that such arrogant and conceited ways of thinking have influenced some young people and have caused them to engage as they please in activities that are damaging the public order and disruptive of the peace at assemblies processions or demonstrations
" 主席，上訴法庭副庭長的批評，正好反映戴先生不斷重複宣揚一些看法或概念時，其實便是鼓吹，甚至會演變成行動。
The comments made by the Vice - President of the Court of Appeal of the High Court aptly show that Mr TAIs repeated propagation of certain ideas or concepts is indeed an advocacy that may even turn into action
作為一位學者，而且是教授法律的教師，他對於年青人有着一定影響，會否有一天有更多年青人誤聽戴先生的言論，作出違法激進的行為，從而影響了他們的一生呢？
As an academic and a law teacher he has a certain degree of influence on young people . Will more young people be misled by Mr TAIs remarks and resort to illegal radical actions that will affect their lives?
主席，言論自由並非沒有限制的。
President the freedom of speech is not limitless
如果經常借言論自由為名，提出香港可以考慮獨立，戴先生的做法又是否單純涉及言論自由呢？
Mr TAI frequently proposes that Hong Kong can consider independence under the pretext of freedom of speech . Is his action simply a matter of freedom of speech?
主席，我對於戴耀廷先生假借言論自由為名，鼓吹"港獨"為實表示遺憾。
President I must express regrets over Mr TAIs advocacy of Hong Kong independence using the freedom of speech as a pretext
首先，基於立法機關的原則，立法會的職權在於監察公權力的運用，監察政府的施政、公共財政的運用及法律制訂的過程。
First of all according to the principles of the legislature the terms of reference of the Legislative Council include monitoring the use of public power administration by the Government the use of public finance and the process of enactment of laws
但是，倘若我們把對政府公權力的監察應用在個別市民身上，則絕對有違立法機關的最大原則，即我們與政府或行政機關同流合污。
However imposing our monitoring of the Governments public power on individual citizens absolutely violates the most fundamental principle of the legislature meaning we associate ourselves with the Government or the executive authorities to engage in unscrupulous collusion
因此，就此議案，我覺得我們的立場沒有任何爭議，亦不需要討論戴耀廷的言論是否宣揚"港獨"及有違《基本法》，因為根據立法會的職權和功能，我們根本不應該在會議廳就此事進行辯論。
Therefore as regards this motion I think there is no controversy surrounding our standpoint . Nor is there a need for a discussion on whether Benny TAIs remark propagates Hong Kong independence and violates the Basic Law because in keeping with the terms of reference and functions of the Legislative Council we should absolutely not hold a discussion on this matter in the Chamber
當事者沒有任何機會站在會議廳與我們對話，亦沒有任何機會利用大氣電波及公眾輿論來回應我們的各項指控。
The person in question is not given any chance to have a dialogue with us in the Chamber nor is he given any chance to respond through the airwaves and public opinions to various accusations made by us
即是說，即使今天的辯論時間只有1小時30分鐘，卻完全是 類近文革式的政治批鬥，而我們就利用了莊嚴的會議廳、香港的英式議會傳統或普通法遺留下來的文明作出批鬥。
It means that even the debate today will only last for one hour and 30 minutes it completely resembles a political struggle session conducted in the Cultural Revolution style . And we use this solemn Chamber the legacy of the British parliament in Hong Kong or the civilization left behind by the common law system to engage in political struggles
故此，我想強調的第二點是，對於即使由泛民議員提出此類針對政府僭越權力，或批評個別市民有違言論自由的議案，我也會表示反對。
Therefore the second point I would like to stress is that I would oppose even motions of such kind proposed by pan - democrats on the Government misusing its power or criticizing individual citizens for impinging on the freedom of speech
至於第三點，正如我剛才所言，既然議員的責任是要監察政府，我們理應監察政府施政期間或作出的言論有否違反人權及言論自由。
For the third point I have just mentioned that as it is a responsibility of Members to monitor the Government it is incumbent upon us to monitor whether human rights and freedom of speech are violated in the administration by the Government or in comments it makes
即是說，我們並不會站在政府的一方，與它一鼻孔出氣，批評個別市民因一些普世價值，甚至基於《基本法》對人權及言論自由的保障而作出的言論。
It means that we will not ally with the Government and sing the same tune to criticize individual citizens for their remarks on some universal values or even those based on the protection of human rights and freedom of speech afforded by the Basic Law
我認為政府或政制及內地事務局的代表出席此項政治審判是非常不合適的安排。
I consider it grossly inappropriate that representatives of the Government or the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau attend such a political trial
當中的權力是如何恰當地運用呢？
How was the power involved exercised appropriately?
因此，我認為今天的辯論主題應該為：批評政府當局利用公權力在立法會會議廳就一名市民的言論大肆上綱，無限批鬥。
For this reason I think the theme of the debate today should be criticizing the Government for using its public power to wantonly blow a citizens remark out of proportions and incessantly level criticisms at him in the Chamber of the Legislative Council
我謹此陳辭，絕對反對陳克勤議員提出的議案。
I so submit and absolutely oppose the motion proposed by Mr CHAN Hak - kan
主席，香港大學法律學院戴耀廷副教授於今年3月24日在台北出席論壇時，發表他認為"有堅實的學術思考在背後的'港獨'"主張，並稱該主張是"學者身體力行去實踐自己學術研究的成果"。
President when attending a forum held in Taipei on 24 March this year Benny TAI Associate Professor of the Faculty of Law of the University of Hong Kong HKU stated that there was solid academic thinking behind his advocacy of Hong Kong independence and this was what a scholar did to put the outcome of his academic researches into personal practice
特區政府於3月30日發出聲明，對身為大學教員的戴耀廷先生發表有關"香港可以考慮成立獨立國家"的言論表示震驚，並予以強烈讉責。
In a statement issued on 30 March the Special Administrative Region SAR Government expressed shock at the remark made by Mr Benny TAI as a university teaching staff member that Hong Kong could consider becoming an independent state and strongly condemned it
這宗事件發生後，由香港6間大學教職員工會組成的大學及專上院校工會聯盟發表聲明，指特區政府作出的譴責為針對戴先生的政治迫害，打壓學者言論及學術自由。
Following this incident The Confederation of Tertiary Institutes Staff Unions comprising six university teaching staff unions issued a statement describing the condemnation of Mr TAI by the SAR Government as political persecution and suppression of his freedom of speech as well as academic freedom
因此，我相信有必要先釐清"學術自由"這命題，才可以有合理的公論。
Such being the case I believe it is necessary to clarify the proposition of academic freedom before a reasonable judgment can be made
《基本法》第六章第一百三十七條列明："各類院校均可保留其自主性並享有學術自由"。
Article 137 of Chapter VI of the Basic Law provides that Educational institutions of all kinds may retain their autonomy and enjoy academic freedom
根據我的理解，《基本法》保障的學術自由以各院校為主體，而政府在5月16日回覆何君堯議員就相關議題提出的口頭質詢中清楚表明，"政府依法保障和尊重學術自由和院校 自主，大學及其教職員從事甚麼學科及項目的研究，完全由大學自行決定"。
To my understanding the academic freedom protected by the Basic Law refers mainly to various educational institutions . In its reply dated 16 May to an oral question asked by Dr Junius HO in relation to a relevant issue the Government made it clear that we safeguard and respect academic freedom and institutional autonomy according to the law . The universities have the authority to decide on their research disciplines and projects and those of their academic staff
據了解，香港各大學現時透過大學教育資助委員會或研究資助局申請研究撥款時，須先將研究計劃交由一個研究委員會檢視，而審批該類研究計劃一般須經過三步曲： 第一步為計劃書階段。
To my understanding when making applications for research funding through the University Grants Committee or the Research Grants Council RGC various universities in Hong Kong have to submit their research proposals to a research committee for examination and the vetting and approval of such research proposals usually have to go through a three - step process The first step is the stage of submitting a proposal
研究計劃書須提交個別大學的研究辦事處，若研究內容涉及研究對象及安全事宜，須先獲首席研究員及學系系主任批准，並須交回指定表格。
The proposal has to be submitted to the research office of the university concerned . Should the contents of the research involve a target and safety matters approval must first be sought from the principal researcher and the Head of Department and the specified form must be returned
研究計劃書連同表格交由相關委員會審閱，委員會審閱後會向申請人給予意見回饋。
The research proposal together with the form will then be submitted to the relevant committee for perusal after which the committee will provide feedback to the applicant
首席研究員會將修訂的計劃書向資助人提交。
The principal researcher will submit the revised proposal to the grantor
第二步為開展階段。
The second step is the commencement stage
研究計劃正式開展前，系主任須確認計劃書已應委員會的意見作出修訂，否則有機會被視為行政失誤。
Before the formal commencement of the research proposal the Head of Department must confirm the revisions made to the proposal according to the views expressed by the committee or else he stands a chance of being held accountable for maladministration
第三步為研究階段。
The third step is the research stage
研究中途若偏離原先提交的計劃書內容，必須先取得批准。
Approval must first be sought should the research deviate midway from the contents of its originally submitted proposal
申請人如未能符合以上程序，亦會被視為違反學術誠信。
Failing to comply with the aforesaid procedure the applicant will be regarded as violating academic integrity
剛才提到的三步曲，是研究項目的必經步驟；這個程序也是國際間大學的一般做法。
The three - step process mentioned just now represents the steps a research project must go through . The procedure is also the usual practice of universities in the international community
我很想知道戴先生有關"港獨"的研究項目，有否按照上述三步曲進行。
I am eager to know if the research project undertaken by Mr TAI on Hong Kong independence was conducted in accordance with the aforesaid three - step process
此外，戴先生台灣一行的膳食、住宿和交通費用，是否從港大研究經費中支取呢？
Furthermore were the food accommodation and transport expenses borne by the research funding of HKU?
政府於5月16日回覆何君堯議員提出的口頭質詢時，並無向議員提及特區政府發出譴責聲明後，作為戴先生僱主的港大有否投訴政府侵犯該校的學術自由。
In its reply dated 16 May to an oral question asked by Dr Junius HO the SAR Government did not mention to the Member whether after the issuance of its condemnation statement HKU as the employer of Mr TAI had complained of the Government infringing on its academic freedom
政府早前亦向研究資助局查詢有否資助戴耀廷教授進行任何鼓吹"港獨"的學術研究項目，該局在回覆中確認沒有這樣做。
Earlier on the Government made enquiries with RGC whether it had subsidized Prof Benny TAI in undertaking any academic research project on advocating Hong Kong independence . In its reply RGC confirmed that it had not done so
因此，我有理由相信，戴先生所謂的"港獨"學術研究與其僱主港大無關，亦不涉港大的學術自由。
As such I have reasons to believe that Mr TAIs so - called academic research on Hong Kong independence has nothing to do with his employer HKU . Nor is the academic freedom of HKU involved
主席，戴耀廷在台灣出席一個俗稱"五獨"的論壇時，發表分裂國家和鼓吹"港獨"的言論。
President Benny TAI made remarks advocating secession and Hong Kong independence at a so - called five - independence forum in Taiwan
這個論壇是由所謂"台獨"、"疆獨"、"藏獨"等"五獨"分子合辦，協助宣揚分裂國家和"港獨"的信息。
The forum co - organized by five groups of separatists including Taiwan independence Xinjiang independence and Tibet independence supporters propagated secession and Hong Kong independence messages
反對派包庇戴耀廷，以言論自由和學術自由作擋箭牌，濫用無底線的自由，實屬不負責任。
It is irresponsible of the opposition camp to harbour Benny TAI using the freedom of speech and academic freedom as a shield and abuse freedom without a bottom line
宣揚分裂國家和"港獨"等意識，其實隨時是在玩火，因為我們看到世界各地過去很多所謂爭取獨立的運動，隨時牽涉流血革命。
The propagation of secession and Hong Kong independence is actually playing with fire because many so - called independence movements around the world ended in bloodshed
西方國家和地區亦然，我們看到北愛爾蘭過去曾經歷連綿不絕的流血衝突。
It was also the case in countries and regions in the West . We could see constant bloody conflicts in Northern Ireland in the past
戴耀廷和現在包庇他的反對派可能想看到香港血流成河才會安樂，因為他們可以完全對這些"血的教訓"視而不見。
Benny TAI and the opposition camp that harbours him might be satisfied only when they saw bloodshed in Hong Kong as they are turning a blind eye to these bloody lessons
挑動民族仇恨往往對一個社會傷害至深，但他們可以視而不見。
They are turning a blind eye to the fact that inciting national hatred can deeply hurt a society
如果大家認為佔中、旺角暴動已令人神憎鬼厭，對不起，因為現在戴耀廷和包庇他的反對派要將香港推向更多如旺角暴動般的衝突。
If everyone thinks the Occupy Central movement and the Mong Kok riots were extremely annoying sorry I must say that Benny TAI and the opposition camp harbouring him will push Hong Kong towards more conflicts like the Mong Kok riots
因此，如果我們今天不在立法會發聲，便是合理化他分裂國家的劣行。
Therefore remaining silent in the Legislative Council today is equivalent to rationalizing their despicable acts of secession
主席，我也想藉此機會提醒大家，就《基本法》第二十三條立法是香港的憲制責任。
President I would also like to take this opportunity to remind Members that legislation for Article 23 of the Basic Law is a constitutional responsibility of Hong Kong
如果任何人想藉目前未就國家安全立法的漏洞大肆宣揚分裂國家和"港獨"意識的行為，破壞"一國兩制"，其實這種罄竹難書的劣行正正會將香港推向深淵。
Anyone who tries to exploit the loophole of the absence of a national security law to widely propagate secession and Hong Kong independence and undermine one country two systems is indeed committing innumerable evil deeds that will push Hong Kong into an abyss
戴耀廷是甚麼人呢？
Who is Benny TAI?
他是佔中發起人，現時仍繼續在大學誤人子弟，隨時灌輸分裂國家等教育，而過去亦曾參與"雷動計劃"或叫人集體棄選等。
He is an initiator of the Occupy Central movement . He is still leading students astray in the university by instilling secession ideas presently . He has participated in the ThunderGo campaign and proposed collective withdrawal from the election
他其實從來不是一名普通市民，既有這種身份，亦有如此往績，我們是否可以坐視不理呢？
He has never been an ordinary citizen . Given his background and track record how can we just sit back and do nothing about it?
他會如何回應陳克勤議員的議案？
How would he respond to Mr CHAN Hak - kans motion?
假如戴耀廷教授在這裏，我想他會這樣說： 今天立法會竟會就着本人在境外的言論進行休會辯論，我覺得實在是一件非常荒謬的事。
If Prof Benny TAI were here I think he would say this Today the Legislative Council has unduly taken the step of debating a motion of adjournment related to the comments made by me outside the territory and in my opinion this is most ridiculous
在各位尊貴的立法會議員和一眾公事繁忙的高官面前，我只是一名沒有任何公職，且正面臨審訊，更有可能入獄和失去工作的小市民。
In contrast to various esteemed Legislative Council Members and the many high - ranking officials occupied with their official duties I am just an insignificant member of the public who does not hold any public office facing the prospect of standing trial and what is more of going to prison and losing my job
現在竟然要勞師動眾，用立法會寶貴的議事時間來討論我在台灣一些可以說是老掉牙，也早在香港發表、曲高和寡、少人問津，只是關乎中國和香港未來的言論，實在令我百思不得其解。
Now a great deal of trouble has been taken and the precious time of the Legislative Council for dealing with its business unduly expended to discuss the comments made by me in Taiwan pertaining to the future of China and Hong Kong which can be described as hackneyed having been publicized in Hong Kong long ago and too detached from reality for anyones liking thus attracting hardly any interest . This really makes me completely perplexed
我只能想到兩個理由。
I can only think of two reasons
一個是自大一點的想法，就是有人害怕我的影響力太大，擔心我在台灣的言論會引發港人，尤其是年青人，跳出傳統及官方的歷史觀，敢於質疑大一統的思維。
One of them is rather self - flattering that is some people are afraid of my excessive influence and worried that the comments made by me in Taiwan will inspire Hong Kong people in particular young people to transcend the traditional and official historical perspective and to become brave enough to query the thinking of great unification
但是，我相信真正導致新一代港人思考"港獨"的，必定不是我這個根本不支持"港獨"，頂多只是一個堅持港人有權在沒有前設下討論"港獨"的人。
However I believe those people who will really make the new generation of Hong Kong people consider Hong Kong independence are definitely not people like me who do not support Hong Kong independence at all and who only insist at the most on Hong Kong peoples right to discuss Hong Kong independence without any presupposition
真正導致港人"思獨"的，是竟然3次不認廣東話為母語的行政長官，還有那個竟然說"香港位於中國南方"也有問題的教育局官員。
The people who would really make Hong Kong people consider Hong Kong independence are none other than the Chief Executive who went so far as to not admit that Cantonese is our mother tongue for three times and also the official in the Education Bureau who said it was not all right even to state that Hong Kong is situated to the south of China
但是，我估計真正的原因，是有人要找一隻代罪羔羊或堆砌一個稻草人，以達到某種政治目的。
However I guess the true reason is that someone wants to find a scapegoat or fashion a scarecrow to achieve certain political aims
向我發動如此大規模、類近文革式的批判，可能是要為加辣版的《基本法》第二十三條立法鋪路；可能是要在學術界及香港社會重劃言論的政治紅線，以收寒蟬之效；也可能是要分化民主派；或者是上述所有原因加在一起。
To launch such a large - scale Cultural Revolution - style purge against me may be the harbinger to an enhanced version of the legislation for Article 23 of the Basic Law; it may also be an attempt to draw a political redline in the academic sector and Hong Kong society to create a chilling effect; it may be an attempt to divide the pro - democracy camp or it may be the sum of all the aforesaid reasons
面對這種荒謬的情況，我是極之無奈的。
In the face of such a ridiculous state of affairs I feel extremely helpless
這項辯論直接涉及本人的重大利益，但立法會在未讓本人有充分機會作出陳述前就進行辯論，完全是罔顧程序公義。
This debate is directly relevant to my major personal interests but the Legislative Council conducted a debate without giving me sufficient opportunities to state my case so this is total disregard of procedural justice
現在只能靠邵家臻議員為本人讀出觀點， 但這又怎能替代本人親身的陳辭？因為這仍不足以保障本人享有的程序權利。
Now I can only rely on Mr SHIU Ka - chun to read out my viewpoints but how can this take the place of having me make my own representations in person since the procedural rights to which I am entitled are not adequately protected?
我的言論竟然受到如此程度的攻擊，我更憂心的是港人在以後的言論空間還能有多大？
My comments have been subjected to an undue level of attack but I am even more concerned about how much room for speech Hong Kong people will have in the future
有一位研究國際關係的學者對我說，在國際關係學術的討論中，有一套理論叫"世界國家"，提出人類社會最終會由現在眾多主權國這個狀態演變成為只有一個國家。
One academic engaged in the study of international relations told me that in the academic discussions on international relations there is a set of theories called world state which suggests that human society will eventually evolve from the present state of having many sovereign states to having just one state
若真的會發生，那麼由中共統治的專制中國也必會消失，現在我們在香港是否就不可以討論"世界國家"這個理論呢？
If this really happens the totalitarian China ruled by the Communist Party of China CPC will also surely disappear so does it mean the discussion on this theory of world state is not allowed in Hong Kong at present?
基督教有末世的教義，到了末世，世界上的政權都會歸於無有，終會有新天新地。
In Christianity there is the doctrine of Armageddon . At Armageddon all regimes on earth will come to nought and eventually there will be a new heaven and a new earth
按着這教義，由中共統治的專制中國也必然會消失，那麼，是否以後《聖經》中有關這教義的經文都要刪掉，只能出版政治正確版的《聖經》呢？
According to this doctrine the totalitarian China ruled by CPC will also disappear so is it necessary to delete all scriptures related to this doctrine in the Bible and only a politically correct Bible can be published?
可能在座有些建制派議員與我一樣，也感到有點無奈，但在香港的市委書記吹起集結號下，也要參與這場相當無聊的批鬥。
Perhaps just like me some Members of the pro - establishment camp also feel rather helpless . However with the party secretary of Hong Kong blowing the bugle they also have to take part in this rather pointless purge
因此，我也能體諒各位的難處，大家的發言，我會"阿Q"地反過來聽的。
Therefore I also appreciate their difficulties so I will listen to your speeches in the spirit of Ah Q and take them to mean the contrary
最後，我要在這裏多謝各位民主派議員、民主派政黨及公民社會的朋友，以及所有堅信民主自由的香港市民，一直無畏無懼地守護着香港的言論自由。
Lastly here I wish to thank Members of the pro - democracy camp pro - democracy political parties friends of civil society and all members of the Hong Kong public who have all along believed steadfastly in democracy and freedom for defending the freedom of speech in Hong Kong fearlessly
無論中共怎樣劃完一條又一條的政治紅線，但是，在自由人的心中，是容不下任何紅線的。
No matter how CPC draws one political redline after another in the hearts of free people no redline is tolerated
主席，假如戴耀廷教授今天在議會內有機會自辯，我相信他會用這份演辭作為他的辯解，因為這份演辭正正是戴耀廷先生的親筆文章，交由我在今天代他陳述。
President if Prof Benny TAI had the chance to speak in his own defence in the legislature today I believe he would use this speech to defend himself because this article is penned by none other than Mr Benny TAI himself and given to me to state his case for him today
今年3月，香港大學法律學院副教授戴耀廷到台灣出席論壇時說到，香港可考慮成立獨立國家。
In March this year Benny TAI Associate Professor of the Faculty of Law University of Hong Kong mentioned in a forum in Taiwan that Hong Kong could consider becoming an independent state
港澳辦、中聯辦及特區政府隨即發表聲明，譴責他違反國家憲法，這種態度令人感到簡直是一丘之貉，這種齊心實在令人感到心寒。
The Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council the Liaison Office of the Central Peoples Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region LOCPG and the Special Administrative Region SAR Government immediately released statements to condemn him for violating the national Constitution . Such an attitude gives us the impression that the three authorities are jackals of the same tribe
首先，對於這項議案，我完全不認為在議會上有辯論的空間和需要。
It is frightening that they acted in such a unison . First of all as regards this motion I absolutely do not consider that there is room and need for such a debate in the Council
其實，是非黑白是清清楚楚的，所謂"港獨"的言論，只是有人抽取當時戴教授整段發言中的一字半句，故意斷章取義地理解。
Indeed right and wrong and black and white are clear to all . The so - called Hong Kong independence remark was just a few words taken out of Prof TAIs entire speech and then deliberately interpreted out of context
當事人亦已就自己的政治立場多次公開作出澄清，表明自己不是"港獨"的支持者。
The person in question has already openly made numerous clarifications of his political stance making it clear that he is not a supporter of Hong Kong independence
當然，即使事實擺在眼前，有人偏偏喜歡無風起浪、亂扣帽子、顛倒黑白，企圖以謊言來誤導和煽動社會大眾，目的是令北京有藉口插手香港事務，粉碎所謂50年不變的"一國兩制"和"高度自治"的承諾。
Of course even the facts are before their nose some people have to stir up troubles when none exists label others at will and confound right and wrong in an attempt to mislead and incite the general public with lies for the purpose of making up an excuse for Beijing to intervene in the affairs of Hong Kong and break the so - called promises of one country two systems and a high degree of autonomy that should remain unchanged for 50 years
早前，當被問及在校園談論有關"港獨"議題的空間時，教育局局長楊潤雄一方面表示尊重院校自主，但另一方面又按捺不住向北京拍馬屁，說"港獨"不應在校園出現，促請教育界要提防"港獨"分子滲透校園。
Not long ago when asked about the room for discussion on topics related to Hong Kong independence on school campuses Secretary for Education Kevin YEUNG on one hand said he respects the autonomy of schools but on the other he could not contain his desire to kowtow to Beijing by saying that Hong Kong independence should not emerge on school campuses and urging the education sector to be on guard against the infiltration by activists of Hong Kong independence into school campuses
這種做法形同施壓，損害院校自主。
It is tantamount to exerting pressure and jeopardizing the autonomy of schools
我想問特區政府和批鬥戴教授的人，究竟現時香港有何法例，明文禁止在校園內進行涉及中國憲政和香港民主未來的討論和研究？
I would like to ask the SAR Government and the people purging Prof TAI exactly which existing law in Hong Kong expressly bans the discussion and study on the constitutional system of China and the future of democracy in Hong Kong on school campuses?
有何法例禁止香港普通市民以至是大學教學人員就這些議題發表觀點呢？
Which law bans the general public and teaching staff of universities from expressing views on such topics?
如果有的話，請政府提出來與大家對質。
If there is any will the Government please come forth and confront the public
大家可以對題討論，不要一直找一些僂儸出來無的放矢、歪曲事實。
We can engage in a focused discussion . Please do not keep sending out some lackeys to aimlessly attack and distort the facts
如果沒有的話，請問中聯辦、特區政府和保皇黨憑甚麼譴責戴耀廷呢？
If there is none I wish to ask LOCPG the SAR Government and the pro - Government Members on what grounds do they condemn Benny TAI?
他作為關心中國憲政和香港民主未來的學者，分享自己對這些議題的看法，有何問題呢？
As a scholar who is concerned about the constitutional system of China and the future of democracy in Hong Kong he shared his own views on such topics . What is wrong with that?
為了給中共政權塗脂抹粉，打壓異己，不惜套用中共在當年文革對付知識分子的手段，對一位知識分子亂扣"港獨"帽子，踐踏和侮辱香港的學術和言論自由，這種做法簡直令人髮指。
To whitewash the Chinese communist regime and suppress dissidents they did not hesitate to apply the way the Communist Party of China dealt with the intelligentsia in the Cultural Revolution back then to randomly pin the Hong Kong independence label on an intellectual and trample on and insult the academic freedom and freedom of speech in Hong Kong . Such acts are infuriating
言論自由和學術自由受《基本法》保護，亦是人生而擁有的基本權利，是民主社會的基石，是我們必須堅守的底線。
The freedom of speech and academic freedom are protected by the Basic Law and they are also the basic rights people are born with as well as the cornerstone of democracy and the bottom line we must defend steadfastly
我希望所有香港市民要以自己的智慧擦亮自己的眼睛，看清楚究竟是哪些人在無風起浪，攪亂香港，踐踏人權！
I hope every person in Hong Kong would use their own wisdom and keep their eyes open to discern who are stirring up troubles when there are none to screw up Hong Kong and trample on human rights!
主席，首先我支持並感謝陳克勤議員提出休會待續議案，讓我們有機會辯論非法佔中發起人戴耀廷到台灣發表"香港可以考慮成立獨立國家"事件。
President first of all I support Mr CHAN Hak - kan in proposing the adjournment motion and thank him for doing so so that we have the opportunity to debate the incident in which initiator of the illegal Occupy Central movement Benny TAI made a remark of Hong Kong can consider becoming an independent state in Taiwan
