更大的問題是，政府即使看到100萬人示威，仍然不聽民意，再加上當局對警方的維護，大家亦感到大有問題，繼而進一步激起200萬人上街示威。
A bigger problem is that the Government despite seeing 1 million people take part in the demonstration continued to turn a deaf ear to the people . Coupled with the authorities shielding the Police people all felt that the problem was alarming thus prompting 2 million people to take to the streets
政府在處理這個問題上犯了一連串的錯誤，這是當局要認真反省的，如果當局僅表示在過程中有所不足，我認為未能反映當局有認真和深刻的反省。
The Government has made a series of mistakes in handling this issue and the authorities should seriously conduct some soul - searching . If the authorities only admitted inadequacies on their part in the process I think this cannot show that the authorities have made serious in - depth introspection
此外，在是否撤回修例這問題上，當局亦說得不清不楚。
Moreover on the question of whether or not to withdraw the Bill the authorities explanation was unclear
第二個矛盾是警方與市民之間的矛盾，這是在事件發生後衍生的問題，但至今已成為一個重大問題。
The second conflict is the conflict between the Police and the public . This is a problem arising from the aftermath of the incident but has become a major problem now
警方在過程中使用過度武力，這是大家有目共睹的。
The Police have used excessive force in the process and this is evident
另一方面，警方亦埋怨在某些情況下，有個別警員遭受不禮貌對待或阻礙等，甚至影響他們的服務。
On the other hand the Police also complained that in some cases individual policemen were treated impolitely or obstructed even to the extent of their service delivery being affected
我們要明白在當前情況下，警方夾在政府與市民之間，警方為要執行政府的一些命令，因而處於一個很困難的局面。
We should understand that under the current circumstances the Police are caught in the middle between the Government and the public and in order to execute the orders of the Government the Police are put in a very difficult position
第二個問題是，警方在處理過程中不需要使用過度武力，過度的武力是不應出現的。
Another problem is that it was unnecessary for the Police to use excessive force in the process . The use of excessive force should not have happened
我認同一些建制派議員的說法，即不應"一竹篙打一船人"，因為我們看到很多警務人員其實也是守規矩的。
I agree to the view of some pro - establishment Members that we should not tar all the policemen with the same brush or hit everyone on a boat with a punt pole as a Cantonese proverb goes because we have seen that many policemen are actually law - abiding
如果要分辨的話，便應正面處理，而調查便是最好的方法。
In order to make a distinction a positive approach should be adopted and an investigation is the best way
有關調查不會單單調查警方，可以調查整件事的起因，以及過程中各方面的處理方法。
The investigation will not purely target the Police . It can also look into the causes of the entire incident and the handling approaches adopted by various sides
警方在維持公眾安寧上，必須得到市民的支持才能把工作做好。
To maintain public peace the Police can perform their duties only with the support of the public
當市民不信任警方時，他們很難做好維持香港治安的工作。
Without public trust it would be very difficult for the Police to effectively carry out work of maintaining public order in Hong Kong
事實上，這是香港過去在19世紀時從英國學習的傳統，這是一個很重要很重要的原則。
In fact this is a tradition that Hong Kong learnt from the United Kingdom in the 19 century and this is a very very important principle
就着我們當前面對的問題，究竟應如何解決這個深層矛盾呢？
Regarding the problem before us now how should this deep - rooted problem be resolved?
第二，在警隊問題上，有需要好好進行一次調查。
Second in respect of the Police there is a need to conduct an investigation properly
實際上，這已是沒有意義，當局應該把責任歸於每個人的參與上。
This is actually meaningless . The authorities should apportion responsibility based on individual participation
因此，我認為在回應市民的要求時，當局可以做得更加積極。
In this connection I think the authorities can be more proactive in responding to the aspirations of the people
在這個過程中，我們看到要長遠解決問題，便必須先考慮目前這個制度，因為這制度不能夠持久。
In this process we can see that in order to resolve the problem in the long term it is necessary to review the existing system as a first step because this system is not sustainable
由於現時的選舉制度並不公義，權力也不公義，所以遇上嚴峻的情況時，政府無法透過制度有效得知政府的問題所在，以致連矯正問題的能力也沒有。
Given injustice in the current electoral system and injustice in respect of powers when a critical situation arises it is impossible for the Government to effectively find out its problems and as a result the Government does not even have the ability to rectify them
不論是警方也好、市民也好，我也希望大家可以克制，每個人也要和平處理事情。
Be it the Police or members of the public I hope that everyone can exercise restraint and everyone can go about things in a peaceful manner
警方由於濫用武力，所以失去了道德高地，如果市民濫用武力，同樣也會失去道德高地，這是大家易於理解的道理。
The Police have lost their moral high ground because they have abused their powers . The public will likewise lose their moral high ground in using excessive violence and this is easily comprehensible
我希望現時的民憤和矛盾可以得到真正平息，現時的問題需要多方努力，我希望政府會聽到這個聲音，而政府應該擔當首先走出來擺平問題的角色。
I hope the existing public rage and conflicts can be truly mollified . The efforts of various parties are required to solve the existing problems . I hope that the Government will listen to these voices and the Government should take the lead to come forth to settle the problems
代理主席，我想葉建源議員澄清。
Deputy President I would like to seek an elucidation from Mr IP Kin - yuen
他剛才說一定要調查，我想問他有關調查範圍。
He said just now that an investigation must be conducted and I would like to ask him about the scope of such an investigation
我根據《議事規則》第39b條，希望他澄清有關調查範圍，是否包括呼籲罷課、強迫學生出去遊行的教師。
Under Rule 39b of the Rules of Procedure I hope that he can clarify whether the scope of the investigation will cover teachers who called for class boycott and who forced students to take to the streets
葉建源議員，你是否願意澄清？
Mr IP Kin - yuen do you wish to make a clarification?
代理主席，第一，這並非事實，並沒有教師強迫學生出來遊行。
Deputy President first this is not true . No teacher has forced students to take to the streets
我亦認為在議會內，如果大家這樣進行辯論，便會改變我們整個辯論方式。
I also think that in this Council if Members should speak in a debate in this manner our entire approach of debate will be changed
我收到很多家長投訴，是有名單的。
I have received complaints from many parents and I have the lists
代理主席，我發言支持張華峰議員提出的休會待續議案。
Deputy President I speak in support of Mr Christopher CHEUNGs motion on adjournment of the Council
代理主席，《逃犯條例》的修訂的確引起社會重大爭議，特首亦已就此事道歉，並承諾暫緩處理《逃犯條例》的修訂，亦明確表示沒有任何重推時間表。
Deputy President the amendment of the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance FOO has indeed caused a great controversy in society and the Chief Executive has also apologized for this undertaking to suspend the amendment exercise of FOO and stating clearly that there is no timetable for reintroducing it
事實上，事件已終止並告一段落，社會不應繼續在這個風波上糾纏，特區政府在今次事件中解說工作不足，亦須作出深切檢討。
In fact this matter has come to a close so society should no longer be entangled in this turmoil . In this incident the SAR Government has not given adequate explanations so it also has to do some thorough soul - searching
我承認市民受這次風波影響。
I admit that the public has been affected by this turmoil
我明白有些市民可能至今仍然怒氣未消，市民如有意見，我明白，大家亦須尊重。
I understand why the anger of some members of the public has still not subsided . If the public have opinions about the issue I understand them and we also have to respect them
不過，我想說的是，如果我們繼續在這個所謂《逃犯條例》的風波上糾纏，大家的怒氣便更難清除，社會亦更難復原。
However what I wish to say is that if we continue to be entangled in this turmoil related to FOO it will be even more difficult to pacify the anger among the public and also more difficult for society to recover
代理主席，其實在外間，很多市民也向我表示因為這次風波，造成他們家庭內兩個世代之間的撕裂。
Deputy President in the community actually many members of the public have also said to me that because of this turmoil rifts have emerged between generations in their family
如果事件繼續升級，可能會嚴重影響這些家庭的關係。
If this incident continues to escalate family relationships may be seriously affected
我亦想指出，爭議只是一時，但關係是一輩子的，我希望香港市民可以想一想，如果我們繼續就這個風波糾纏，繼續令衝突和矛盾升級，這樣不單會影響社會，更會嚴重影響個人、家庭及朋友層面的關係。
I also wish to point out that the controversy is only transient but relationships are lifelong . I hope members of the Hong Kong public can think about this If we continue to be entangled in this turmoil and continue to allow the clashes and conflicts to escalate not only will this affect society it will also seriously affect our relationships with other individuals family and friends
這就是我剛才說爭議只是一時，但關係是一輩子的原因，希望大家可以好好思考當中這方面的問題。
This is why I said just now that the controversy is transient but relationships are lifelong . I hope Members can think about the issues in this regard properly
代理主席，香港一直以來是個國際金融中心，全世界有大量外資把許多資金存放在香港。
Deputy President Hong Kong has all along been an international financial centre and a large number of foreign enterprises throughout the world have placed a lot of funds in Hong Kong
如果外國機構或外國政府接收到的是另一種信息，即香港進入了一種很混亂的狀態，社會完全不穩定，長遠來說，也會影響外國投資者或企業在香港駐扎的信心。
If the message that foreign organizations or foreign governments get is that Hong Kong has run into a most chaotic situation and society is totally unstable in the long run this will also affect the confidence of foreign investors or corporations in stationing in Hong Kong
事實上，我們明白示威者當然可以向外國機構表達意見我亦須清楚表明，我們絕對不認同任何外國政府介入香港或國家的內部事務不過，我們要小心在這個行動或整個發展的過程中，可能難免傳遞了某些信息，最後予人的感覺可能是香港進入了一個不太穩定的狀態。
In fact we understand that protesters are certainly entitled to expressing their views to foreign organizations―I also have to make it clear that we absolutely do not agree with any foreign government meddling in the internal affairs of Hong Kong or our country―but we have to be cautious against this course of action or the whole process inevitably conveying certain messages and in the end the impression may be one of Hong Kong having developing into a rather unstable condition
我們現在可以見到，近日的確在短期內出現了兩次包圍警察總部、入境事務大樓、稅務大樓的情況，甚至今天有人發起包圍律政司辦公室等。
We can see that in recent days two instances of besieging the Police Headquarters in addition to the surrounding of the Immigration Tower and the Revenue Tower have occurred within a short period of time and today some people even organized a siege of the offices of the Department of Justice
其實，如果將這一連串行為加起來，很容易會被演譯為另一種信息。
In fact this series of actions taken together can easily be interpreted as another message
香港作為一個國際金融中心，其中一個重要性，當然是有很多外國投資者把資金放在香港。
As an international financial centre one reason for Hong Kongs importance lies in the fact that many foreign investors have put their funds in Hong Kong
老實說，如果我們做出某些行為，而別人接收到的信息是香港進入很不穩定的狀態，這樣很可能會影響香港整體的經濟表現。
Frankly speaking if we take certain actions and the message received by other people is that Hong Kong has run into a very unstable condition this will likely affect Hong Kongs overall economic performance
所以，我希望香港社會公眾可小心注意這一方面。
For this reason I hope Hong Kong society and the public can pay greater heed to this aspect
事實上，如果一些外資機構在香港投放大量資金，並有很多外派員工在港，他們也希望香港可以有一個相對穩定的社會環境，這也是重要的。
In fact if foreign corporations have made major investments in Hong Kong and posted many expatriate employees to Hong Kong they also hope that the social environment in Hong Kong can be relatively stable . This is also important
事實上，我們再三重申，我們不認同外國政府嘗試干預香港特區政府的內部事務或干預國家的內部事務，但香港在經濟層面的溝通方面，的確與國際有很多聯繫，在經濟方面有很多經貿往來。
In fact we reiterate that we do not approve of any attempt by foreign governments to meddle with the internal affairs of the SAR Government or the country but on exchanges at the economic level Hong Kong has indeed many ties with the international community and there are a lot of economic and business exchanges in the economic realm
我希望特區政府聽到我對這方面的意見。
I hope the SAR Government can hear my views in this regard
代理主席，關於這次風波，我不得不提很多建制派議員今天亦已指出警察在這事件中是很大的受害者。
Deputy President about this turmoil I have to say―many Members of the pro - establishment camp have also pointed this out today―that the Police are seriously victimized in this incident
由於最近發生了一連串的衝擊和包圍事件，警方的士氣可能低落。
Since a series of storming and sieges have occurred recently the morale of the Police may be low
原因有很多，我們看到很多人不單對警方作出言語上的挑釁，在網上也看到有個別人士甚至向一些小朋友灌輸有關警察的負面信息，刻意把警察說成是壞人，更 甚的是公開警員及其家人的資料，然後呼籲其他人作出騷擾。
There are many reasons for this . We can see that not only did many people verbally provoke the Police on the Internet some individuals went so far as to convey negative impressions of the Police to children deliberately portraying the Police as bad guys and worse still publishing information on police officers and their families and then calling on other people to harass them
這已經完全超越了香港人的道德底線。
This has crossed the moral bottom line of Hong Kong people completely
這種欺凌實在對警方絕對不公道，也是不負責任的行為。
This kind of bullying is indeed absolutely unfair to the Police and also irresponsible
代理主席，我留意到最近兩次包圍警察總部的事件，以及有議員同事剛才特別提及在昨晚警察總部遭包圍期間，曾經發生警員在上班途中被示威者追打的情況。
Deputy President I noticed the two recent incidents involving the siege of the Police Headquarters and just now some Honourable colleagues also mentioned specifically instances of protesters chasing a police officer on his way to work to beat him up during the siege of the Police Headquarters last night
我相信一般市民看到這種場景，即看到示威者追打警察或發動大規模行動，包圍警察總部，向警方施壓，甚至威脅作出各種攻擊，在很多人眼中，這些行為都是嚴重衝擊香港法治。
I believe that when ordinary members of the public see such scenes that is protesters chasing police officers to beat them up or mounting the large - scale action of besieging the Police Headquarters to put pressure on the Police or even threatening to launch various types of attacks many of them will consider that such actions have impacted on the rule of law in Hong Kong seriously
我亦想提醒大家，其實香港警察負責的工作不單是處理示威和抗爭，香港警察還有很多其他工作要處理。
I also wish to remind Members that the duties of the Hong Kong Police actually do not consist of dealing with protests and struggles only . There are many other tasks that the Hong Kong Police have to handle
危急的情況、救援的工作、維持社會秩序和治安，這些全部都是他們的責任。
Handling emergencies carrying out rescues and maintaining law and order in society are their responsibilities
如果某些人嘗試將矛頭指向警方，然後作出各種欺凌行為，打擊警隊和警隊士氣，最終受害的是整個香港社會。
If some people try to target the Police then carry out all sorts of bullying to deal blows to the Police and undermine their morale ultimately Hong Kong society as a whole will suffer
所以，我真的希望香港市民能夠明白，現時有部分人嘗試挑動這種矛盾或對警員作出衝擊，長遠而言絕對會對香港造成嚴重傷害。
Therefore I really hope the Hong Kong public will understand that some people are currently trying to provoke this sort of conflict with or assaults on the Police . In the long run this will do serious harm to Hong Kong
代理主席，我還想提出，昨天有同事用上一些令人難以接受的言詞，包括"奴隸"，甚至說一些抹黑建制派同事的說話，例如"人格卑劣"等的人身攻擊。
Deputy President I also wish to point out that yesterday some Honourable colleagues made some utterly unacceptable remarks including slaves or remarks that tarnish Members of the pro - establishment camp for example personal affronts like base character
代理主席，其實在這種氣氛之下，要我們在會議席上商討所謂民生事項，能否得出甚麼好結果？
Deputy President under this kind of atmosphere will our discussions on the so - called livelihood issues at various meetings yield any positive results?
最近在多個立法會不同委員會上，我們也看到有同事在討論民生事項時仍然不斷借題發揮，繼續把焦點放在《逃犯條例》的風波上。
Recently at various committee meetings of the Legislative Council we could see some Honourable colleagues continually seize opportunities to digress in discussions on issues of peoples livelihood and continue to focus on FOO instead
有同事說"樹欲靜而風不息"，看來真的有點矛盾，依然繼續在當中發酵。
As an Honourable colleague said The tree longs for calmness but the wind will not subside . It seems some conflicts are indeed still being fomented
我相信真的要讓議會停一停、靜一靜，讓香港社會可以重新出發。
I believe the legislature should really be allowed to pause and calm down a little so that Hong Kong society can set off anew
事實上，如果我們不想辦法令社會上這個矛盾降溫，讓大家復原，而是再繼續讓矛盾升級，恐怕在香港社會內人與人之間的關係、政府與市民之間的關係及所有人之間的關係，不單也會受衝擊，關係甚至難以復原和修補。
In fact if we do not find ways to defuse this conflict in society so that all parties can recover but continue to allow the conflict to escalate instead I am afraid not only will this impact on the relationships among people in Hong Kong society and between the Government and the public it will also be very difficult for these relationships to recover and mend
我覺得這對香港而言是最重大的損傷。
I think this will be the greatest damage to Hong Kong
所以，我希望今天大家能夠支持張華峰議員的休會待續議案。
Therefore I hope Members can support the adjournment motion proposed by Mr Christopher CHEUNG today
如果我們繼續讓這個風波和矛盾升級，只會令香港所有人之間的關係難以修補。
If we continue to allow this turmoil and conflict to escalate the mending of the relationships among all people in Hong Kong will be made difficult
所以，我支持張華峰議員今天提出的休會待續議案，這是一個姿態，是要告訴社會，希望社會能夠回復平靜，重新出發。
Therefore I support the adjournment motion proposed by Mr Christopher CHEUNG today . This is a gesture expressing the hope that society can return to calmness and make a new start
主席，多謝張華峰議員提出休會待續議案，希望我們可以就着如何盡快恢復社會秩序，讓市民回歸正常生活，作出辯論。
President I thank Mr Christopher CHEUNG for proposing the adjournment motion in the hope that we can conduct a debate on how to expeditiously restore social order so that peoples life can return normal
特區政府修訂《逃犯條例》的觸發點是台灣陳同佳殺人案，政府希望將疑犯繩之於法，還死者及死者家屬一個公道。
The trigger point of the amendment exercise of the Special Administrative Region SAR Government on the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance FOO was CHAN Tong - kais murder case in Taiwan . The Government wished to bring the suspect to book thereby doing justice to the deceased and her family members
台灣殺人案並非孤例，保安局曾指出，目前至少有11宗案件，因未有長期引渡 協議而不能移交逃犯，當中有3宗外地兇殺案涉及港人。
The Taiwan murder case is not an isolated one . As pointed out by the Security Bureau there are currently at least 11 cases in which the suspects cannot be surrendered owing to the absence of a permanent extradition agreement . Among them there are three foreign homicide cases involving Hongkongers
由於法例存在漏洞，以致回歸22年來，未有一宗成功移交個案。
Given the loopholes in law there has not been any successful surrender over the past 22 years since the reunification
因此，政府提出修訂《條例》，堵塞法律漏洞，讓個案式的移交逃犯工作變得切實可行，我認為其初衷和目的，其實並無不妥。
For this reason the Government proposed amending FOO to plug the loopholes in law so that case - based surrenders could become practicable . In my opinion there is actually nothing wrong with its original intent and purpose
當然，自從政府提出修訂《條例》後，社會和我所屬的業界均對修訂《條例》有不少意見。
Certainly since the Governments introduction of the proposal for amending FOO the community and the sector to which I belong had voiced quite a number of views on the amendments
我的業界最關注的，是《條例》的修訂對香港現時的言論自由、出版自由和創作自由可能會帶來影響，特別是現時不少業界人士在內地從事文化藝術創作，與內地合作舉辦的文藝活動也甚常見，電影界更已北上投資和工作多時。
The prime concern of my sector was the possible impact of the amendments to FOO on the present freedom of speech freedom of publication and freedom of creation in Hong Kong particularly since many members of the sector are currently engaged in cultural and artistic creation on the Mainland . Cultural and arts activities jointly organized with the Mainland are common . The film industry has also made investments and worked on the Mainland for a long time
他們擔心中港兩地制度存在差異，會因為對內地體制的不熟悉而誤墮法網，過去的創作亦會被追究，可能會遭引渡到內地審訊；他們更擔憂的是會因此造成寒蟬效應，長遠窒礙香港的文化藝術發展。
They worried that given the difference in the systems between China and Hong Kong they would inadvertently break the law since they do not know the Mainland system well . The works created by them in the past would be raked up and they might be extradited to the Mainland for trial . An even greater concern was that it would consequently cause a chilling effect smothering the cultural and arts development in Hong Kong in the long term
亦有業界人士擔心內地政府會以非政治罪向他們作出政治檢控，人身安全沒有保障。
Some members of the sector also worried that the Mainland Government would institute political prosecution against them with non - political charges . There would be no protection of personal safety
針對業界對言論自由和創作自由的關注，政府在我舉辦的諮詢會、回覆的信函，以及在保安事務委員會也作出了回應。
In respect of the concern of the sector about freedom of speech and freedom of creation the Government made its response in the consultation sessions held by me its reply letter and the Panel on Security
經過律政司和保安局的詳細解釋，部分擔憂或可釋除。
After detailed explanations were given by the Department of Justice and the Security Bureau some of the worries might be dispelled
然而，一些社會人士及業界人士仍然對《條例》的修訂有所保留，當中更多是源自對內地司法制度的懷疑，對中央政府及特區政府缺乏信任。
However some members of the community and the sector still had reservations about the amendments to FOO many of which originating from misgivings about the Mainland judicial system and the lack of confidence in the Central Government and the SAR Government
政府亦未能就修例的急切性充分說服所有人。
The Government also failed to fully convince everyone of the urgency
當政府準備直接把有關《條例草案》提交立法會恢復二讀後，香港先後出現了多次大型遊行示威，在某程度上，這代表了不少市民對香港非常關心。
When the Government was prepared to table the relevant Bill at the Council to resume the Second Reading direct various large - scale rallies and demonstrations took place in Hong Kong one after another . To a certain extent it shows that many members of the public care much about Hong Kong
但很可惜及不幸，在6月9日大型遊行之後的凌晨，暴力行為開始出現，在緊接的立法會會議日期6月12日當天，更有示威者重演佔領行動。
Yet regrettably and unfortunately in the small hours following the large - scale rally on 9 June violent acts started to happen . On 12 June the scheduled date of the following Legislative Council meeting some protesters restaged an occupation action
事實上，我本人和數位同事及多名議員助理當時仍身處立法會大樓內，部分示威者以暴力衝擊警方防線，投擲磚頭、鐵枝、鐵馬，一度嘗試衝入立法會大樓，其後我們接獲立法會保安的緊急通知，表示警方的第一度防線已經失守，大樓有安全風險，希望我們立即撤離，有些同事和助理表現得惶恐不安，我個人的感受是跟處身在暴動之中並無分別，而電視畫面亦充分說明了這一切都是事實。
Later we received an urgent notice from the security office of the Legislative Council that the first cordon line of the Police had been breached . Given the safety risk in the Complex it would like us to evacuate immediately . Some colleagues and assistants looked scared and nervous
我認為警方在當時的環境下使用一定武力驅散示威者，盡快恢復秩序，實屬必要，並無不妥。
I personally felt that it was no different from being in a riot . What was shown on the television also fully illustrated that all of these were true . I think under the then circumstances the use of considerable force by the Police to disperse the protesters and expeditiously restore order was indeed necessary and not at all inappropriate
在這過程中有示威者、衝擊者和執勤警員受傷，是非常不幸和令人遺憾的。
During this process it was most unfortunate and regrettable that some protesters people committing charging acts and police officers on duty were injured
事後，警方召開記者招待會，表 示示威者的行為是擾亂秩序，非法集結，警方已採取容忍和克制的態度，但同時警方亦表示當時情況混亂，對於在執法過程中，媒體記者可能受到武力對待，表達歉意。
Afterwards the Police convened a press conference stating what the protesters did was disruption of order and an unlawful assembly . The Police had exercised tolerance and restraint . But at the same time the Police also said that the then situation was chaotic and extended apologies to reporters of media organizations who might be treated with force during the course of law enforcement
然而，事件沒有停止下來，反而越演越烈，導致立法會無法如常運作，金鐘一帶更連續多天出現群眾示威活動。
However the incident did not come to a halt . Rather it became increasingly intense causing the Legislative Council to be unable to operate as normal . Mass demonstrations took place in the Admiralty area in a row for days
為了回應民意訴求，行政長官在6月15日宣布暫緩修例，透過新聞稿承認政府在工作上有所不足，向市民致歉。
To address public opinions and aspirations the Chief Executive announced suspension of the amendment exercise on 15 June admitting the deficiency in the Governments work and apologizing to members of the public through the press release
警務處亦澄清6月12日的整體公眾行動並非暴動，特首、保安局局長及律政司司長亦先後向市民致歉。
The Hong Kong Police Force also clarified that the overall action of members of the public on 12 June was not a riot . The Chief Executive the Secretary for Security and the Secretary for Justice also apologized to the public one after another
事件至此，社會已出現嚴重分裂，我認為特區政府為了顧全大局，已經多次作出讓步及回應市民的訴求。
With the incident having come to this pass society has been seriously torn apart . In my view for the sake of the greater good the SAR Government has repeatedly made concessions and responded to the peoples aspirations
各方亦應努力緩和氣氛，保持冷靜，避免情況向更壞的方向發展。
Each party should make an effort to ease the atmosphere stay calm and prevent the situation from worsening
主席，我要強調，集會和遊行示威是市民表達意見的正常活動，亦是香港政治生活的一部分，舉辦團體透過參加人數表達對政府的訴求，影響政府的決定，是香港人政治參與的一種方式，亦是香港人的自由和權利，這種表達方式受《基本法》和法律所保障，而政府亦要正視市民的訴求，作出適當的回應。
President I wish to emphasize that assemblies rallies and demonstrations are normal activities of members of the public in expressing their views . They are also part of the political life in Hong Kong . The organizers express their aspirations to the Government and affect the Governments decision through the number of participants
可是，在表達意見時，大家必須堅守法治精神，這亦是香港市民引以自豪，並需要共同守護的重要價值。
The Government needs to squarely address the peoples aspirations and make appropriate responses . However when expressing our views we must uphold the rule of law . This is also an important value in which the people of Hong Kong take pride and which we need to safeguard together
主席，令人擔心的是現時有小部分示威者確實作出了一些偏離法治的行為。
President what is worrying is that now a small number of protesters did engage in acts not consistent with the rule of law
在6月10日凌晨，有示威者衝擊立法會，襲擊警員，用鐵枝擲向警員，令警員受傷。
In the small hours of 10 June some protesters stormed the Legislative Council Complex assaulted police officers and hurled metal bars at the latter inflicting injuries on them
