大家都看到，這數個月若不是政府從善如流，推出一輪又一輪的措施，我相信很多企業已經撐不下去，很多市民亦會失去工作，生計 不保。
As we can see had the Government not been receptive to advice and rolled out rounds of measures in these few months I believe many enterprises would have failed to survive and many people would have been out of job and lost their means of living
面對眼前的危機，無論我們從事哪個行業，是僱主或僱員，都同樣受到很大打擊。
In face of the present crisis employers and employees alike regardless of the industry they are in have been seriously affected
所以，社會各界應該放下成見，支持預算案和其他紓緩措施，令市民和企業能渡過難關。
Therefore all sectors of society should set aside their prejudices to support the Budget and other relief measures so that people and enterprises can get through this difficult time
有政府作擔保，銀行便無須承擔很高的風險，自然願意向中小企借貸，使它們再撐幾個月。
With the Government as the guarantor banks are free from high risks and therefore are willing to grant loans to SMEs enabling them to sustain a few months further
我們當然希望經濟盡快復蘇，而即使經濟未能完全復蘇，我們仍要向前走。
We certainly hope that the economy will recover soon . Even if it is unable to recover completely we still have to progress forward
現在，我們看到香港百業蕭條，很多中小企已經奄奄一息，政府為企業提供百分百擔保，至少令它們未來數月能借款繳付租金和支薪。
Now we can see that all Hong Kong businesses are experiencing downturns with many SMEs already on the verge of closure . The provision of 100 % guarantee by the Government can at least enable them to secure loans for their rents and wage payments in the next few months
這項措施總算給中小企送上一根"救命稻草"，令它們有資金渡過這個難關。
This measure can be regarded as a life - saving straw for SMEs bankrolling them to ride out this difficult time
主席，這段時間我跟很多中小企和政府官員保持緊密溝通，希望集思廣益，向政府建議切實可行的措施，真正做到"撐企業、保就業"的目標。
Chairman during this period of time I have maintained close communication with many SMEs and government officials in the hope of drawing on collective wisdom to suggest to the Government practicable measures for achieving the objective of support enterprises and safeguard jobs
農曆新年後，疫情在全球蔓延，我們看到大量中小企的訂單被取消，有些已製成的貨品相關的薪金及原材料費用都已支出被迫延期交貨，要放置在貨倉。
After the Lunar New Year the epidemic has been spreading globally and we have seen many SMEs having their orders cancelled and being forced to postpone the delivery of some finished products―the relevant wages and the costs of raw materials have been paid for―and store them in warehouses
中小企收入大幅減少甚或沒有收入之餘，還要支付租金、薪金及清還銀行貸款，因此，它們的周轉出現前所未見的困難。
Apart from a drastic decrease in their revenues―or even no revenue at all―SMEs also have to pay for rents and wages and to repay bank loans thus resulting in unprecedented cash flow problems for them
結果，政府願意從善如流，推出不少支援經濟的措施。
Eventually the Government was willing to take our advice and introduce a number of measures to support the economy
其實大家都知道，香港是一個外向型經 濟，如果沒有企業，很多人便會失去僱員這身份，變成失業大軍成員。
In fact we all know that Hong Kong is an externally - oriented economy . If there is no enterprise many people will no longer be employees and will join the unemployed population
政府提供這項上限為9,000元的工資補貼，目的是要保住員工的"飯碗"，讓他們繼續有工開這總比失業好不過，"保就業"計劃的執行細節仍有很多不清晰的地方，企業可能因而誤墮法網，所以，政府真的要考慮清楚如何處理那些問題。
In order to keep employees in their jobs―this is preferable to leaving them unemployed―the Government provides this wage subsidy which is capped at 9,000 . However with many implementation details of ESS remaining unclear enterprises may break the law inadvertently and it is thus necessary for the Government to carefully consider how to address these problems
至於"派錢"措施方面，今次的情況真的很特殊。
Regarding cash handout measures the circumstances are really exceptional this time
主席，我們看到整個經濟在最近數月基本上是停頓的，很多中小企一張出口訂單都接不到，很多人無工開，所以，經民聯這次建議政府向全民"派錢"。
Chairman as we can see the entire economy has basically been at a standstill in recent months . Many SMEs have received not even one export order and many people have been out of job
3個字：快、快、快，以及要簡單。經民聯亦再次促請政府切勿重蹈覆轍，要避免出現收費高、手續多的行政問題。
Also BPA has again urged the Government not to repeat the same mistake and to avoid the administrative problems of high cost and cumbersome procedures
政府應該用簡單直接的方法"派錢"，盡量降低行政成本。
The Government should hand out cash in a simple and direct way to reduce as much administrative cost as possible
我希望市民可以盡早收到這筆"救命錢"。
I hope that people can receive the life - saving money very soon
主席，在支援中產的措施方面，預算案公布之後，不少中產人士向我表示，他們對利得稅、薪俸稅等退稅金額只維持在2萬元，感到失望。
Chairman concerning measures for supporting the middle class after the Budget announcement I have been told by many middle - class people that they were disappointed about the tax reduction amount in respect of profits tax salaries tax etc . being maintained at 20,000
現時市道低迷，很多中產家庭的收入受到很大影響，政府應該向中產派大一點、甜一點的"糖"。
Given the present economic slump which has seriously affected the income of many middle - class families the Government should dole out larger and sweeter candies to the middle class
我們希望政府日後可以考慮調高退稅上限至4萬元。
We hope that the Government can consider raising the tax reduction ceiling to 40,000 in the future
差餉寬減方面，我們也覺得有空間加碼。
Also we think there is room for further enhancing the rates concession
我希望政府再考慮我們的意見。
I hope that the Government will consider our views again
數十個百分比對企業、商界人士的影響很大，特別是將來當經濟復蘇時，獲保住的企業便需要資金來購買材料、發展和推廣業務。
A couple of percentage points matters a lot to enterprises and members of the business sector especially during economy recovery in the future when surviving enterprises will need funds for the purchase of raw materials and business development and promotion
我覺得政府應該慎重考慮這項可以幫助企業的建議。
In my view the Government should give a careful thought to this proposal which can help enterprises
現時全球經濟不明朗，如果企業收到訂單主席，你也是營運工廠的究竟要不要開始生產呢？
Now that there are uncertainties in the global economy should an enterprise start production―Chairman you are also a factory operator―if it receives an order?
主席，我在此誠心祝福香港，祝福每位香港人身心健康，早日戰勝病毒，並見到經濟民生得以改善。
Chairman I would like to take this opportunity to express my best wishes to Hong Kong . I hope all Hong Kong people can enjoy good health win the battle against the virus and see improvement in the economy and their livelihood
我們熱愛香港這個家，我們應該追求幸福的生活，而不是充滿鬥爭和恐懼的生活。
We love Hong Kong a place which we call home . We should pursue a happy life rather than a conflict - filled and fearful life
主席，我發言支持將第1及2條納入《2020年撥款條例草案》，並會在稍後《條例草案》三讀時投下贊成票。
Chairman I rise to speak in support of clauses 1 and 2 standing part of the Appropriation Bill 2020 the Bill and will vote for it in its Third Reading of the Bill
主席，這是我第三年參與財政預算案的審議，我整體支持預算案的原因，已在《條例草案》二讀時提及。
Chairman this is the third year in which I have participated in scrutinizing the Budget . I have given my reason for supporting the Budget during the Second Reading debate
畢竟現時的經濟環境已是差無可差，預算案這1,200億元的撥款是絕對有用的，當中包括派發1萬元很多市民最近亦向我們查詢最快何時可以取得款項多項減稅措施、福利金發放"雙糧"、代繳1個月公屋租金等。
After all the current financial environment has hit the rock bottom the 120 billion appropriation is absolutely helpful and will be used on the 10,000 cash payout―members of the public have asked us recently about the earliest date they can receive the payout―various tax rebate measures an additional one months welfare payment the payment of one months rent for tenants living in public rental units and so on
這些措施均有實際需要，可以即時支援市民。
These measures are needed for practical reasons so as to provide immediate support for the public
此外，一些因應社會事件和新冠肺炎提出的"撐企業、保就業"措施亦是合時的。
Besides the measures to support enterprises and safeguard jobs are also timely introduced in response to social incidents and the novel coronavirus outbreak
我們希望"財爺"之後繼續審時度勢，考慮這些安排，從而支援有不同需要的市民。
We hope that the Financial Secretary will consider these arrangements and keep in view the current situation so as to provide support for members of the public with various needs
不過，主席，我留意到在《條例草案》二讀時，反對派已一致投下反對票，這是毫無懸念的，我相信在《條例草案》三讀時，他們一樣會反對。
However Chairman I notice that during the Second Reading of the Bill the opposition cast a negative vote unanimously and undoubtedly . I believe that they will cast another negative vote during the Third Reading of the Bill
現時很多家庭已沒有收入，或是收入已減少，大家也不知要捱多長時間，而政府的補貼始終有限，很多市民也向我們表示現時重新找工作真的很難。
Nobody knows how much longer they will have to put up with this . Government subsidy is inadequate indeed . Many members of the public have told us that it is very difficult to find another job
在這個前提下，反對派仍然面不改容，說明會反對預算案。
In spite of this the opposition is insistence in its stance and had made it clear that it will vote against the Bill
兩年前，我剛加入立法會時，看見部分反對派會投棄權票，但他們現已全部變成"勇武"、"攬炒派"，即使是他們之前爭取的1萬元，現在也懶得理。
When I first joined the Legislative Council two years ago some members from the opposition abstained from voting but now they have all become the valiant and the mutual destruction camp who do not even care about the 10,000 payout which they have strived for before
主席，為何要支持《條例草案》呢？
Chairman why should we support the Bill?
面對今天的局面，我有更深一層的體會，因為我們也很擔心"黑暴"再臨，這真是可悲和可惡。
I have gained a deeper insight from the current situation . This is because we are also worried about the return of black violence . It is sad and detestable
又是"和你sing"，又是唱歌，又是搞這些群眾聚集。
Sing with You rallies singing gathering of crowds and the like
他們很明顯是在挑釁。
They were obviously being provocative
不僅如此，有人並不是唱歌，有人在燒垃圾箱和雜物，重新再做一次，是翻版，所以很多店鋪當天也做不到生意，要落閘。
What is more some of them were not singing they were burning trash bins and other stuffs . It was a repetition of what has been done before that is why many shops could not do any business and had to close early on that day
不僅如此，在學校亦找到製造汽油彈的材料、電油和打火機。
Furthermore ingredients for production of petrol bombs petroleum and lighters were found in schools
那些有心搞事、搞社會衝突的人我稱之為"暴徒"他們不會放過任何機會和事端，目的只有一個，便是讓"黑暴"重臨，散播仇警的氛圍，這種毒真的在毒害香港。
Those who intend to create turmoil and social conflicts―whom I called rioters―will leave no stone unturned to achieve their sole purpose of bringing back black violence and incite hatred against the Police which is indeed a kind of poison that is detrimental to Hong Kong
我們看到現時賓館全部都是零收入，連家庭也是沒有收入。
We see that guesthouses are not making any money nor do families
我真的希望"財爺"回去想想，究竟這份預算案在通過後，那些所謂提振經濟的措施，經過上述各項影響，在七除八扣後，究竟能幫助市民多少呢？
I really hope that the Financial Secretary after the passage of the Budget will ponder upon to what extent the initiatives to revive the economy can help members of the public taking into account the impacts of the aforesaid events
司長，面對疫後需要重振經濟，我真的希望當局可以一併估算這1,200億元可以多捱半年、一年或多長的時間？
Secretary I really hope the authorities will assess whether this 120 billion can sustain another six months a year or for any period of time
主席，"黑暴"不單影響經濟、削弱預算案提振經濟的效力，過去半年多，很多假信息、散播仇恨的言論仍然充斥着社會。
Chairman black violence does not only affect the economy and undermine the effectiveness of the Budget in reviving the economy . During the past half year or so there have been a lot of fake news and hate speeches circulated in society
民主建港協進聯盟昨天發布"市民對'犯罪年輕化'意見調查"，就有關反修例活動的調查顯示，有七成市民認為假信息及政客鼓吹犯法的言論激發了年輕人破壞社會秩序和犯法的行為。
Yesterday the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong announced the result of an opinion survey on the Rising Trend of Youth Crime which is related to the movement on the opposition to the proposed legislative amendments . According to the survey 70 % of the public held that those young people who disrupt social order and break the law are instigated by fake news and remarks of politicians which advocate defiance of the law
主席，為何這與預算案有關呢？
Chairman why is this related to the Budget?
我在上次發言時提過，反對派想以否決預算案來脅迫特首辭職，引發憲制危機，這並非新鮮事，他們自己也說過了。
As I have mentioned in my previous speech the opposition is trying to force the Chief Executive to resign and trigger a constitutional crisis by voting against the Budget . This is nothing new and they have mentioned about it
反對派清楚指出，要善用否決預算案的機會，製造"攬炒"。
The opposition has made it clear that it will make good use of this opportunity to negative the Budget so as to achieve mutual destruction
這是甚麼道理，"老兄"，真的"離晒譜"。
What kind of reasoning is this? . Buddy this is utterly outrageous
這明顯是他們的政治目的，這跟預算案有甚麼關係呢？
Obviously this is their political object and what has it to do with the Budget?
預算案是要幫助市民解決生活上的種種困難，但他們卻利用預算案達到他們的政治目的，叫西方國家制裁香港，這就是他們的路線圖和行動。
The purpose of the Budget is to help members of public ride over their difficulties and yet they were trying to take advantage of the Budget to achieve their political ends by asking the western countries to impose sanction on Hong Kong . This is their road map and action
主席，如果真的由"攬炒派"主導，上述憲制危機便會天天上演，每天的結局只會是政府停擺、社會停擺，福利、教育及所有恆常開支也無法取得。
Chairman if the mutual destruction camp becomes the mainstay the aforesaid constitutional crisis will take place on a daily basis resulting in a standstill of the Government and society . All the recurrent expenditures including those on welfare and education will become unobtainable
主席，面對現時新冠肺炎疫情，今次香港市民真的很了不起，防範或防衞意識非常高，外出經常佩戴口罩。
Chairman in face of the novel coronavirus epidemic the people of Hong Kong are really marvellous in displaying a high degree of vigilance and always wear a mask while going out
很多住在屋邨的街坊對我們說，他們真的一兩個月盡量不外出，聽從政府指示，保護自己及身邊的人。
Many residents of housing estates told us that they have refrained from going out for one to two months . They have complied with the instructions of the Government to protect themselves and people around them
在這情況下，我們應該如何走下去呢？
Under such circumstances what is the way forward?
這令我們非常擔心。
This worries us a lot
很多時候，防疫抗疫基金及預算案的資助都是以現金或資源作補助，但有些情況真的要考慮如何拆牆鬆綁。
Very often assistance under AEF and the Budget are provided in cash or in kind . Nevertheless in some cases it is really important to work out how to cut red tape
這些情況還有很多例子，包括明天或下星期討論的海洋公園個案，政府提供數十億元的資助後，是否可以解決所有問題呢？
There are many more similar examples including the Ocean Park proposal which will be discussed tomorrow or next week . Can all the problems be solved after funding of several billion dollars has been obtained?
事實上，未來一段時間也不會有遊客的，政府是否應該設法為海洋公園拆牆鬆綁，而不是單單靠預算案的支援呢？
In fact as there will not be any visitors for a period of time in the future should the Government endeavour to remove the barriers for the Ocean Park rather than relying solely on the support under the Budget?
無論如何，我真心希望預算案能在今天盡快通過，讓市民能夠盡快受惠。
In any case I sincerely hope that the Budget will be passed expeditiously today so that the public can benefit
他們這樣煽動仇恨，不批准預算案，而我們支持預算案，既要說出我們的理據，亦要指出他們的歪理。
They incite hatred in such a way as to veto the Budget . We support the Bill . We will give our justifications and point out their fallacious reasoning as well
因此，我要繼續說下去。
Therefore I have to continue
郭家麒議員一直說官員"倒米"。
Dr KWOK Ka - ki always says that the officials mess things up
我很想對泛民議員說，你們現時口口聲聲要全面否決預算案，但政府已經作出部分回應，包括全民派發1萬元，當然這也是建制派議員、不同政黨一起爭取的。
I really want to tell the pan - democrats that you keep saying the whole Budget should be negatived but the Government has already responded to some of your demands including a universal handout of 10,000 . Of course this is the fruit of the efforts made by the pro - establishment camp and different political parties
政府知道香港艱難，答應今年向每人派發1萬元，但你們同樣會否決預算案，因為你們一定事事也反對。
The Government knows that Hong Kong is facing a difficult time and promises to distribute 10,000 to everyone this year . However you still try to negative the Bill because you must say no to everything
依循《基本法》，我們沒有理由癱瘓內務委員會，以拉倒《國歌條例草案》和《基本法》附件三。
Pursuant to the Basic Law we have no reason to paralyse the House Committee in order to block the National Anthem Bill and Annex III to the Basic Law What is meant by one country two systems
陳肇始局長在抗疫一開始時慢十拍，我們一早告訴她口罩不足夠。
Prof Sophia CHAN Secretary for Food and Health was too slow in action at the start of the fight against the epidemic . We have told her right from the beginning that we did not have enough face masks
去年，我們多次投訴，在選舉期間，選區內沒有清除連儂牆，牆上有很多抹黑和攻擊的海報，違反《選舉條例》，但政府沒有執法，不作為。
Last year despite our repeated complaints the Government did not clear the Lennon Walls in the election districts during the District Council Election . There were many posters on the walls to smear and attack candidates which had already violated the Elections Ordinance . However the Government did not enforce the law or take any actions
不過，我也看到在抗疫期間，他們雖然能力不足，但也有努力。
However although they are not very capable in this fight against the epidemic I see that they have tried hard
我們要公平、合理評價他們的表現。
We must evaluate their performance fairly and reasonably
不可能，市民需要這些公共服務。
It is impossible because people need these public services
對於老師，我們同樣有很多不滿，於是我們便要求教育局調查，但是否要削減全部教育經費呢？
We also have a lot of grievances against the teachers so we asked the Education Bureau to investigate . However shall we slash all the spending for the education sector?
我們希望與你們一起保護"一國兩制"，而不是看着你們被"攬炒派"攬着，與香港同歸於盡，令"一國兩制"玩完。
We want to work with you to uphold one country two systems instead of seeing you being held by the mutual destruction camp and perish together with Hong Kong and one country two systems
財政預算案最根本的問題牽涉到整個理財哲學，而就預算案中的理財哲學來說，大家也看到特區政府"派錢"也派得比人差，即使是"派錢"，也不能夠在過程中理順有關的安排，沒有採用便民的方法，包括直接利用本港的綜合社會保障援助及社會福利系統，使長者和殘疾人士無須另行申請。
The Budget essentially hinges on the Governments fiscal philosophy . However as far as the fiscal philosophy in the Budget is concerned we see how the Government fails even in giving cash handout . In the process the Government fails to straighten out the relevant arrangements and does not adopt some convenient methods including the direct use of the existing social welfare system and the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance CSSA system to disburse the payout so that the elderly and the disabled do not need to apply separately
政府理財哲學所反映的第二點是，我們看到在防疫抗疫基金下這可能是由財政司司長管理"派錢"時卻"大細超"，不是每位市民也有。
The second point reflected in the Governments fiscal philosophy is that under the Anti - epidemic Fund―this may be managed by the Financial Secretary―there is favoritism in the cash payout as it is not available to every resident
為何特區政府整套理財哲學是如此奇特的呢？
Why is the SAR Governments fiscal philosophy so peculiar?
究竟最大的困難是否有錢不懂得用，還是整群主事官員的民智未開、腦袋未開，又或是整個考量也只是志在坐地分肥，這才是最大的問題，因為特區政府並非屬於個別人士，而是屬於香港人。
Does the biggest difficulty lie in the fact that they do not know how to spend the money or is it because both the intellect and the brain of the whole bunch of officials in charge have not been developed or is their only consideration just about sharing out gains with folded arms? . This is the biggest problem because the SAR Government belongs not to any individuals but to everyone in Hong Kong
政府有的資源及財政儲備，是香港市民多年來胼手胝足得來的，不是官員的私人金庫，不是官員可任意決定這人有那人沒有。
The resources and fiscal reserves that the SAR Government are actually the fruit of labour of all Hong Kong people who have worked their fingers to the bone for years . This is not the private vault of the officials and not for those officials to arbitrarily decide who should have a share and who should not
所以，我們反對將第1及2條納入《條例草案》的最基本原因，是預算案所反映的特區政府理財哲學，是"派錢"也派得比人差。
Therefore the basic reason that I speak against clauses 1 and 2 standing part of the Bill is the fiscal philosophy of the SAR Government reflected in the Budget which is its poor performance even in giving cash handout
當全世界其他國家面對儲備不足的時候，我們有如此豐厚的儲備來應付經濟困難，但卻沒有善用，這已足夠令我們反對今次的預算案。
While other countries in the world are facing the problem of insufficient reserves we are sitting on such a huge reserve with which we should be able to tide over the economic difficulties yet we have failed to make good use of the resources we have . Just base on this point we can justify our objection to this Budget
第二，在預算案的辯論過程中，保皇黨的議員經常說，如果民主派能夠成功取得"35+"，即立法會過半數議席，預算案便會遭否決，又或很多所謂的重要開支，例如行政長官辦公室或警務處的開支，便會被刪除，令政府無法運作。
Secondly during the debate on the Budget Members of the pro - Government camp often said that if the democrats could successfully secure 35 seats that is more than half of the seats in the Legislative Council the Bill could be vetoed and the many so - called important expenditures such as those for the Chief Executives Office and the Hong Kong Police Force could be deleted . Then the operation of the Government would come to a standstill
首先，如果政府真的能夠好好地照顧香港市民的利益，政府得到的民意，便不會是過半數香港市民給它零分。
First of all if the Government can truly look after the interests of the people of Hong Kong it would not have got zero mark from more than half of the people of Hong Kong in terms of popularity rating in a public opinion poll
政府不順應民意、不改善施政、"派錢"派得比人差，政府便須面對來自整個社會的政治壓力，因為特區政府已經沒有"以人為本"，沒有以香港人的利益作為最基礎的考慮，為香港市民服務。
The Government does not listen to the people does not improve governance and fails to hand out relief money efficiently . The SAR Government has to face political pressure from the entire society because it does not put people first . Nor does it regard the interests of Hong Kong people as its primary consideration when serving the community
"林鄭"最近接受《大公報》訪問時說，如果立法會被今天這群導致內務委員會停擺的議員掌控，日後會是甚麼局面？
In a recent interview with Ta Kung Pao Carrie LAM wondered what would happen if the Legislative Council came under the control of the Members who had caused the House Committee impasse today
其實，她在今時今日還說出這些話，只能證明她是一個死不悔改、不理民意的人。
In fact what she says nowadays only proves that she is such a stubborn person who just turns a deaf ear to public opinion
因此，我在修正案提出削減整個行政長官辦公室的開支是非常正確的， 因為當你看到一個死不悔改，做錯但不承認，還要諉過於人的特區政府首長，香港人怎會同意把錢給她？
Therefore it is a right move for me to propose in the amendment to cut the expenditure of the entire Chief Executives Office . If you see somebody like her who remains unrepentant to the end and refuses to admit her mistakes but just passes the buck onto others as the head of the SAR Government why should the people of Hong Kong agree to give her the money?
我不知道他們考慮的是甚麼，但如果社會民意取向是如此清楚，對於政府的施政、警暴的行為有這麼多不滿，他們怎可能會找到一個替特區政府、"黑警"暴力開脫的理由？
I do not know what is on their mind . However if public sentiment is so clear and people are so dissatisfied with the Governments governance and police violence how can they find an excuse for the SAR Government and the dirty cops?
他們不追究問題的根源，只懂在桌面上擺放政治選舉的口號，把整個泛民陣營和社會對政府的不滿視為甚麼勾結外國勢力、"攬炒"等，其實他們所做的根本是在"攬炒"香港，這便是保皇黨及特區政府聯手做的好事，他們正是好事多為。
Instead of going into the root of the problem they only know to put their election slogans on their desk interpreting the dissatisfaction of the pan - democratic camp and the society as collusion with foreign power and being mutually destructive . In fact what they are doing is actually having Hong Kong burn together with them . These are the deeds of the pro - Government camp committed in collusion with the SAR Government
因此，我想說的是，對於9月的立法會選舉，我們有一個很清晰的目的，就是要令議會還原至能夠真正面向群眾，而不是在這種扭曲的議會狀態中，藉着根本無須面對群眾的功能界別，連同建制派、保皇黨壟斷議會制度，令制度暴力比任何事情對香港社會造成更大的傷害。
Well they have done so many good deeds . Therefore what I want to say is that in the Legislative Council Election in September there will be a very clear mission for us . We have to restore the Council so that it really faces the people rather than remaining in a distorted state under which Members returned by functional constituencies who do not need to face the people collude with the pro - establishment camp and the pro - Government camp in dominating the legislature thus allowing institutional violence to cause more harm to Hong Kong society than anything else
如果民主派能夠勝出選舉，一方面可以成功"搶灘"......
If the democrats could win the election on the one hand we could gain a foothold
我想指出，民主派增加了議席將代表市民的公投結果，亦代表特區政府必須面對及處理問題。
I would like to point out that if the democrats could have more seats it would represent peoples choices and would also mean that the SAR Government must face and deal with the issues
"林鄭"經常問，如果民主派取得"35+"會是甚麼局面？
Carrie LAM often asks what will happen if the democrats secure 35 seats?
如果"林鄭"屆時仍然自恃有共產黨撐腰，有3萬警員為虎作倀，以為這樣便可以繼續肆虐，可以推行二十三條立法，繼續用軍管的形式管治香港，我們必然會反對及抗爭，而且她還要面對香港市民在公投中發出的反抗聲音。
When the time comes if Carrie LAM still relies on the Communist Party and her 30 000 - strong police force thinking that she can continue to do things in her way proceed with the legislation exercise of Article 23 and continue to govern Hong Kong in the form of military administration we definitely would put up resistance and fight back . Besides she will also be facing the opposing voice of the Hong Kong people as reflected in the election results
這是寫在第五十二條的機制。
The mechanism is provided in Article 52 of the Basic Law
除了共產黨可以隨意解釋寫在《基本法》的條文外，香港人是否連字面上清楚寫明的內容也要面對釋法？
Except for the Communist Party who can freely interpret the provisions of the Basic Law do Hong Kong people have to face another interpretation even if the words are clearly written?
不可能的，而且這是《基本法》。
No way and this is the Basic Law
如果大家就《基本法》中對議會與政府之間的約束有疑問，我相信要對疑問作最合理的解釋，便要找小平同志了，他是偉大的"一國兩制"的設計師，他已說得很清楚，亦定出了方向。
If we have any questions about the checks and balances between the legislature and the Government in the Basic Law I believe we should ask Comrade Xiaoping for the most reasonable explanation . He is the great designer and engineer of one country two systems . He had said very clearly and had also set the direction
