我也不知道高鐵是否會順利運作，因為我們在法案委員會提出了很多問題， 包括緊急情況下的安排。
I wonder if XRL will be able to operate smoothly given the many questions raised in the Bills Committee including emergency arrangements
例如，如果高鐵在隧道內停駛或遇到緊急情況，高鐵乘客必須離開車廂，法律上應如何處理呢？
For instance in the event of a suspension of service inside a tunnel or evacuation of passengers from train compartments how will such a situation be dealt with according to law?
局長和一眾官員曾經對我說，這種情況不會發生，因為車廂是密封的，他們會安排車輛令高鐵駛往其他可以停泊的地方。
I have been told by the Secretary and many government officials that such circumstances would not arise since the train compartments are enclosed and vehicles would be arranged to divert XRL to other parking spaces
另一個很多議員提出的問題，便是國際法在內地口岸區營運中的高鐵列車車廂內的適用問題。
Another question raised by many Members concerns the application of international laws inside a compartment of an XRL train in operation in the Mainland Port Area MPA
根據局長和政府的答覆，營運中的列車和內地口岸區所佔的總面積並不很大，只有100多萬平方公尺，因此發生涉及國際法的糾紛的機會率很低。
According to the replies given by the Secretary and the Government the total area occupied by a train in operation and MPA is a mere 1 million or so square metres which is not very large . As such the probability of disputes that involve international laws arising is very low
我們現在審議《條例草案》，除了發現《基本法》有問題外，香港可能已經違反了與其他國家或地區簽訂的國際協議。
During our scrutiny of the Bill we found that the Basic Law is problematic . Furthermore Hong Kong might have violated the international agreements signed with other countries or regions
當然，很多同事也提出《基本法》的問題。
Of course many Honourable colleagues have raised questions about the Basic Law too
當然，美國、英國、澳洲、新西蘭和香港特區都是實行普通法，但這兩套法律並非真的南轅北轍。
Certainly the United States the United Kingdom Australia New Zealand and the Hong Kong SAR practise common law but these two sets of laws are not really poles apart
其實，大家解讀條例都應有規有矩。
Actually we should follow rules in interpreting laws
大陸法和普通法最主要的差異，在於大陸法大多數法例都沿自成文法，但由於這兩套法律體系不斷互動，很多實行大陸法的國家或地方的法院近期都有就一些法例的詮釋作出指示，包括現時最高人民法院不時會就內地的成文法作出解釋或指示。
The most significant difference between civil law and common law is that the former predominantly originated from statute law . However due to the constant interaction between these two legal systems the Courts in many countries or places practising civil law have recently given directions regarding interpretations of certain laws . Among others the Supreme Peoples Court will make interpretations of or give directions in respect of the statue law in the Mainland from time to time
無論是人大常委會或政府就解釋為何《基本法》第十八條適用於香港而給我們的回覆，都像是侮辱我們的智慧似的。
It appears that the reply given to us by NPCSC or the Government explaining why Article 18 of the Basic Law is applicable to Hong Kong is an insult to our intelligence
另一個普通法和成文法的不同之處，在於根據成文法進行審判時，法官可以擔當調查角色，這也是基本差異，但在解釋法例方面，卻不能無限擴闊，尤其對《基本法》第十八條的解釋。
Another difference between common law and statue law is that the Judge can play an investigative role during a trial and this is also another fundamental difference . Insofar as the interpretation of legislation is concerned however infinite extension is out of the question especially when it comes to interpretation of Article 18 of the Basic Law
根據一封於2月22日發出的信件內容，內地法律的適用範圍只限於高鐵站一小部分地方，涉及的面積不大，而且只適用於高鐵乘客。
According to the content of a letter issued on 22 February the scope of application of the laws of the Mainland is merely confined to a small area in the station and the area in question is not large . Moreover the laws are applicable to XRL passengers only
如果乘客不選擇乘搭高鐵，那麼《條例草案》或內地法律便不適用於這些乘客。
In other words the Bill or the laws of the Mainland will not be applicable to passengers who opt not to take XRL
首先，立法會通過一項決議案，然後由特區政府和美國有關當局簽訂合作協議，由於合作協議屬於外交事務，人大常委會可以作出決定。
First of all the Legislative Council has to pass a resolution and then a cooperation agreement shall be signed between the SAR Government and the relevant authorities in the United States . Given that the cooperation agreement is considered to fall into the scope of foreign affairs a decision can be made by NPCSC
主席，《基本法》有部分條文具凌駕性，例如，按照《基本法》第一條，香港特別行政區是中華人民共和國不可分離的部分；第二條規定，人大授權香港特別行政區依本法的規定實行"高度自治"，享有行政管理權、立法權、獨立的司法權和終審權。
President some articles of the Basic Law are overriding . For instance Article 1 of the Basic Law provides that The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is an inalienable part of the Peoples Republic of China; Article 2 provides that The National Peoples Congress authorizes the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to exercise a high degree of autonomy and enjoy executive legislative and independent judicial power including that of final adjudication in accordance with the provisions of this Law
這些都是具凌駕性的條文，所以我剛才說的清關安排其實不可以實行，因為有第一條和第二條的規定。
Given that Articles 1 and 2 are overriding provisions the clearance arrangements mentioned by me just now can actually not be implemented
根據同一個道理，即第十八條與跟特區政府有關的第一百零四條或第一百零五條比較，因商業理由作出安排等，這些都不是理由。
By the same token compared to Articles 104 and 105 which are related to the SAR Government Article 18 or arrangements made for commercial purposes are actually not justifications
有常識的人都知道，《基本法》第一章總則具絕對凌駕性；第二章中央和香港特別行政區的關係也具凌駕性，所以《條例草案》根本有政治取態。
People with common sense will know that Chapter I of the Basic Law is absolutely overriding; Chapter II is also overriding and so the Bill actually has a political stance
但是，《基本法》立法原意根本沒有"一地兩檢"的構思，如果要看立法原意，便不能在這裏愚弄市民。
However the legislative intent of the Basic Law simply does not embody the idea of co - location . If we examine the legislative intent there is no way that wool can be pulled over the eyes of the public here
即使普通人看《基本法》，也大概看得出來。
Even if an ordinary man examines the Basic Law he will probably see the point too
當然，人大常委會是最高權力架構，大家都知道，法律為政治服務，當中央政治局常委，當前總書記胡錦濤或現任總書記表示高鐵要在9月通車的時候，各級權力機構必須遵從這項政治決定。
Certainly NPCSC is the highest power organ . As we all know all laws are enacted to serve politics . When HU Jintao a former member of the Politburo Standing Committee and General Secretary or the incumbent General Secretary indicated that the commissioning of XRL was scheduled for September organs of power at various levels had to follow this political decision
我反對《條例草案》恢復二讀的理由是，......
The reason for me to oppose the resumed Second Reading of the Bill is my refusal to let laws serve politics
你的精神健康好嗎？
Are you mentally healthy?
我認為陳帆局長的為人有時難以觸摸，當立法會《廣深港高鐵條例草案》委員會視察廣深港高鐵西九龍站時，陳帆局長在4月30日明明拒絕議員巡視內地口岸區界線，並說："你有你的要求，我們也有我們的看法。
I think Secretary Frank CHAN is unpredictable . When the Bills Committee on Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link Co - location Bill of the Legislative Council inspected the West Kowloon Station Secretary Frank CHAN clearly refused to let Members inspect the boundary of the Mainland Port Area on 30 April and said to this effect You may state your requests yet we may also have our views
局長亦表示，政府絕對尊重立法會審議法案的權力及程序，他會以最大的耐心及誠意聆聽議員的意見及回應。
The Secretary also said that the Government definitely respected the power and procedures of the Legislative Council in the scrutiny of Bills and he would exercise the greatest patience and sincerity in listening to the views and responses of Members . After hearing this comment of the Secretary I felt assured
我聽到這句說話便感安心，有人說他是"走數局長"，但我說他是"佛系局長"。
Some people dub him as the defaulting Secretary yet I will say that he is the Buddha - like Secretary
我以為這位"佛系局長"真的有所頓悟，明白為官之道在於聆聽，在於耐心，在於誠意。
I once thought that the Buddha - like Secretary had a moment of enlightenment and realized that the key to being a good government official is to listen be patient and sincere
豈料當全體民主派議員就中止待續議案發表對"一地兩檢"的意見後這些意見對他來說或許是不合情、不合理陳帆局長竟然一句也沒有回應，便交由陳淑莊議員直接總結發言。
Yet after all Members from the pro - democratic camp had expressed their views on the co - location arrangement under the motion of adjournment―the Secretary might consider these views unjustified and unreasonable―the Secretary did not say a word in reply; he simply skipped his turn and let Ms Tanya CHAN give her concluding speech
陳帆局長態度反反覆覆，我真的擔心他的精神健康。
Secretary Frank CHAN is fickle . I am really worried about his mental health
他是否患上傳說中的"無定向喪心病狂間歇性全身機能失調症"，這病是否真的在香港出現呢？
Is he suffering from the legendary disease called the disoriented frenzied intermittent overall physical dysfunction? . Is it true that the disease has appeared in Hong Kong?
還是正因陳帆局長有此能耐，他才被挑選為最合適推銷"一地兩檢"的人呢？
Or is it because of these attributes of Secretary Frank CHAN that he is identified as the suitable person to promote the co - location arrangement?
為何我們常說"一地兩檢"是違憲違法呢？
Why do we always say that the co - location arrangement is unconstitutional and illegal?
這是因為"一地兩檢"破壞了"一國兩制"的決定。
It is because the co - location arrangement damages the decision to implement one country two systems
政府從沒有公開交代多項資料及細 節，我們對"三步走"是何時簽署、與誰簽署也不知道。
The Government has never made public the information and details on various issues . We have no idea when the agreement concerning the Three - step Process was signed and with which parties the agreement was signed
"一地兩檢"若然通過，就是"賣香港人豬仔"。
If the co - location arrangement is passed it is selling out the people of Hong Kong
我嘗試總結13點對於"一地兩檢"的意見： 第一，香港特別行政區政府自2010年後，花了7年時間與內地相關部門研究及討論廣深港高鐵的海關、出入境及檢疫安排。
I try to summarize the views concerning the co - location arrangement in 13 points First the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region SAR Government has spent seven years since 2010 to examine and discuss with the relevant Mainland departments the customs immigration and quarantine arrangements for the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL
有關當局經過7年的研究後，仍未能為現行安排的法律基礎提供令人滿意的解釋。
After the seven - year examination the authorities can yet give a satisfactory explanation for the legal basis for the existing arrangement
至於人大常委會就"一地兩檢"安排的法律基礎所作的解釋，更是毫無說服力，令人非常不滿，這是我無法支持的原因。
As for the explanation of the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress NPCSC for the legal basis for the co - location arrangement it is simply unconvincing and extremely unsatisfactory . For this reason I cannot support the arrangement
第二，2017年7月25日，政府提出"一地兩檢"的安排：即內地法律及司法管轄權將適用於香港兩個地區，包括西九龍總站的部分範圍及高鐵車廂。在這些範圍內，大部分的香港法律將會被內地法律所取代，我無法接受。第三，舉例而言，任何人在內地干犯尋釁滋事罪，最高可判處5年監禁、刑事拘留或管制。
Second on 25 July 2017 the Government proposed the co - location arrangement which is the application of the laws and exercise of jurisdiction of the Mainland in two areas in Hong Kong including part of the area in the West Kowloon Station and train compartments
然而，大家也知道在議會現有結構下，我們提出的中止待續議案必定不會獲得通過，所以我們現在才進入另一環節，就是恢復《條例草案》的二讀辯論。
For these reasons I supported the adjournment of the debate . However Members know that under the existing composition of the legislature motions of adjournment proposed by us will definitely be negatived . As a result we are now in the first session the debate on the resumed Second Reading of the Bill
基於我對中止待續議案的立場，我對《條例草案》同樣表示反對。
In view of my position on the motion of adjournment I also oppose the Bill
與此同時，政府有責任向社會大眾詳細交代法例涉及憲制方面的事宜。
At the same time the Government is obliged to explain clearly to the community as a whole the constitutional issues involved
第一，很多官員以至是支持《條例草案》的人，不斷指出《條例草案》可為香港帶來正面經濟效益，特別是"一地兩檢"的模式，更可帶來非常方便的效果，所以在這前提下，大家不應反對"一地兩檢"的安排。
First many government officials as well as supporters of the Bill have pointed out repeatedly that the Bill will bring economic benefits to Hong Kong and the co - location arrangement in particular will bring great convenience so on this premise we should not oppose the co - location arrangement
主席，大家也知道"一地兩檢"的模式無疑是方便、快捷，而其他國家也因此而採用"一地兩檢"的模式。
President we all know that the co - location arrangement is undoubtedly convenient and efficient and it is for these reasons that other countries have adopted the co - location model
這做法完全違反及破壞1997年回歸時所討論的"一國兩制"、"高度自治"的大前提。
Such practice has definitely violated and damaged the premise of one country two systems and a high degree of autonomy discussed at the time of reunification in 1997
在這一點上，我們怎可以接受及支持有關安排呢？
On this account how can we accept and support the relevant arrangement?
政府採取的方法很簡單，便是視而不見、聽而不聞，完全不理不睬。
The Government resorts to a simple approach in addressing the issues . It simply turns a blind eye and a deaf ear to all the issues and gives no responses
當我們舉行事務委員會會議時，當局特別是局長採取的態度，要不是支吾以對，便是當"人肉錄音機"，不斷重播同一番說話。
At meetings of the Panel the authorities the Secretary in particular would give ambivalent answers or keep repeating the same remarks like a human recorder
請問為何現時電視屏幕上輪候發言的議員人數是11名，但所顯示的名字卻只是指張華峰議員不在席，並沒有顯示第二、第三名輪候發言的議員的名字呢？
As shown on the display screen there are 11 Members waiting to speak . May I ask why only the name of Mr Christopher CHEUNG is shown with the remark that he is not in the Chamber? . Why are the names of Members in the second and third places to speak not displayed on the screen?
而且，議員發言時已不斷論述《條例草案》的整體優劣及原則以至修正案內容，這些實際上已是二讀辯論甚至全體委員會審議的議題。
Moreover Members have repeatedly discussed the general merits and principles of the Bill as well as the content of the amendments which are actually questions to be discussed in the Second Reading debate and even in the committee of the whole Council
儘管如此，我仍然容許議員進行二讀辯論接近8小時。
Despite that I have still allowed Members to engage in the debate on Second Reading for close to eight hours
我也留意到有議員聽到我的呼籲，盡量精簡發言，以便讓更多議員可以表達意見。
I notice that some Members have responded to my appeal to make their speeches concise so that more Members may express their views
換言之，議員就有關議題已辯論了超過17小時。
In other words Members have been debating the relevant question for over 17 hours
我認為議員已有合理及充分時間辯論二讀議案。
I think Members have had a reasonable amount of and ample time to debate the motion on Second Reading
況且，議員仍可在全 體委員會審議期間深入討論《條例草案》的修正案，亦可在三讀辯論中，就是否支持《條例草案》的內容表達意見。
Besides Members may still have an in - depth discussion on the amendments to the Bill during the examination by the committee of the whole Council and express their views on whether or not they support the content of the Bill during the Third Reading debate
基於上述原因，我認為我的決定恰當，而且沒有必要延長二讀議案的辯論。
For these reasons I consider my decision appropriate and an extension of the debate on Second Reading unnecessary
請你不要混為一談，從而作出一個不合理的決定，便是終止議員的發言......
You should not confuse the two and make an unreasonable decision of curtailing the speaking time for Members
主席剛才的裁決，也令我們非常反感和失望。
The decision of the President just now is extremely offensive and disappointing
一直以來，二讀辯論除了是讓議員發表意見外，也是對政府提出的議案表達意見，但很可惜，現時主席卻限制了可以發言的議員的數目，導致有議員的權利遭剝奪，這不僅是不公道，根本是剝奪民主權利。
All along in the Second Reading debate Members are allowed to express their views on the question and to express their views on motions proposed by the Government but regrettably the President has now limited the number of Members allowed to speak depriving certain Members of their right . It is not only unfair but also a deprivation of democratic rights
我曾經說過，議員是由市民選出的，而市民賦予我們的責任，除了表達意見外，還要監察政府，並且向政府提出意見。
I have said before that Members are elected by the people . Members are entrusted by the public the responsibility to express their views monitor the Government and convey their views to the Government
如果你剝奪我們的權利，即剝奪了民主權利，剝奪了市民的付託。
If you deprive our rights you are depriving our rights to democracy and our responsibilities entrusted by the public
主席，我只是希望你能夠更改你的決定。
President I just hope that you can change your decision
除了提出你更改決定的要求外，我還想說說"一地兩檢"的問題。
Apart from urging you to change your decision I would like to talk about the co - location arrangement
在實際運作方面，有很多市民也一直擔驚受怕，特別是元朗的居民很擔心。
Regarding the actual operation many members of the public particularly residents of Yuen Long have been worried and anxious about this
現在高鐵在運作上已出現很多問題，例如噪音、震動等，導致一些大廈的建築物出現裂縫。
Currently many problems relating to the operation of XRL have been revealed such as noise and vibration causing cracks in certain buildings
就這些問題，究竟政府採取了甚麼態度來處理？
What attitude has the Government adopted in addressing these problems?
政府如何看待這些問題？
What do the Government think about these problems?
政府至今似乎仍然是像我剛才所說般，視而不見、聽而不聞，好像不知道有這些事情一樣，但新聞傳媒已經很清楚地報道了。
So far it seems that the Government is still turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to the problems as I mentioned earlier as if it knows nothing about the problems . Yet the press and the media have made loud and clear reports on these problems
除了這個問題外，很多其他運作上的問題也提出了，但政府也是完全不理會。
Apart from these problems many other problems concerning operation have been voiced yet the Government simply ignores them
政府是否有責任把《條例草案》收回？
Does the Government have the responsibility to withdraw the Bill?
收回《條例草案》重新檢視，而不是強行推出來，進行二讀、三讀。
It should withdraw the Bill for re - examination instead of pushing it through for Second Reading and Third Reading
不是政府，而是消費者、市民大眾。
It will not be the Government . Consumers and the general public will bear the consequence
所以，我認為《條例草案》基本上是倉卒地提交立法會的，而整個高鐵的工程、運作等亦十分倉卒，"急上馬"，有很多地方不理想。
Hence I consider the submission of the Bill to the Legislative Council a hasty act . As for the construction works and operation of XRL they are also hasty and in a rush unsatisfactory in many ways
主席，很多人說我們妨礙香港經濟發展，不能為香港的民生盡一點力，但事實上，這個議會、體制正是這樣，政府在我們認為重要的事情上加設障礙，把它要通過的事項交到立法會，不想通過的便不理會。
President many people say that we are impeding the economic development of Hong Kong and making no effort for the peoples livelihood . Yet in reality this is how this legislature and the system are operating . Regarding issues we consider important the Government sets hurdles
因此，如果將責任只放在我們身上，我認為絕不公道。
Hence I consider it absolutely unfair of the Government to place the responsibilities on us
我認為政府必須重新檢視"一地兩檢"，看看用甚麼態度來回應社會現時關注的問題，以及在剛才所說的幾方面，特別是在憲政上、安全上、運作上等，也給予確實的回應。
I think the Government must re - examine the co - location arrangement to decide how it should respond to the current concerns of the community . The Government should also respond specifically to the several areas mentioned just now particularly the constitutional safety and operation aspects
我現在請運輸及房屋局局長答辯，之後辯論即告結束。
I will now call upon the Secretary for Transport and Housing to reply . Then the debate will come to a close
主席，我發言支持陳淑莊議員提出的二讀辯論中止待續議案。
President I speak to support the motion moved by Ms Tanya CHAN for the adjournment of the Second Reading debate
此外，審議過程的討論並不成熟，但我們依然發現了很多法律風險。
Although the discussion we had during the scrutiny was immature we still managed to identify a lot of legal risks
《條例草案》在立法會的處理程序，以至主席的裁決，都充滿爭議。
The handling of the Bill as well as the ruling of the President is highly controversial
自從立法會於2010年通過撥款興建廣深港高鐵香港段，政府便一直拖延交代"一地兩檢"的詳情，多任政府均沒有充分交代資料，有人甚至懷疑政府刻意拖延，官員每次前來立法會都只說方案未有進展，又或不肯交代。
Since the Legislative Council approved the funding application for the construction of the Hong Kong Section of XRL in 2010 the Government had delayed giving details of the co - location arrangement . The governments of various terms had not given a full account of the arrangement . There were doubts that the delay was deliberate because whenever government officials came to the Legislative Council they always said that no progress had been made with regard to the co - location proposal or they were unwilling to give an account
有關安排明顯違反《基本法》，但政府當然有其說法。
This arrangement is obviously in contravention of the Basic Law but the Government certainly has its explanation
為何我們的政府反而沒有疑問，聽不到這些質疑的聲音？
How come our Government on the contrary has no doubt at all and does not hear any of these doubts?
以《基本法》第十八條為例，其措辭相當直接，訂明"全國性法律除列於本法附件三者外，不在香港特別行政區實施"，以及"任何列入附件三的法律，限於有關國防、外交和其他按本法規定不屬於香港特別行政區自治範圍的法律"。
Take Article 18 of the Basic Law as an example its wording is very straightforward stating that [n]ational laws shall not be applied in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region except for those listed in Annex III to this Law and [l]aws listed in Annex III to this Law shall be confined to those relating to defence and foreign affairs as well as other matters outside the limits of the autonomy of the Region as specified by this Law . The provisions are so simple and clear
大家可能都知道《基本法》第二十二條的內容："中央人民政府所屬各部門、各省、自治區、直轄市均不得干預香港特別行政區根據本法自行管理的事務。
We may all know Article 22 of the Basic Law No department of the Central Peoples Government and no province autonomous region or municipality directly under the Central Government may interfere in the affairs which the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region administers on its own in accordance with this Law
試想想，如果這種說法說得通，《基本法》等於已被燒毀。
If this explanation as tenable it is tantamount to burning the Basic Law
我記得我曾在法案委員會會議及早前某些相關會議上表示，中央政府最討厭別人燒毀《基本法》，但我們的政府以至許多建制派同事其實正在概念上燒毀《基本法》。
As far as I recall at meetings of the Bills Committee and at some other meetings held earlier I remarked that while the Central Government loathed seeing people burn the Basic Law our Government and many pro - establishment Members were actually burning the Basic Law conceptually
中央政府亦可因應今次的先例......
The Central Government may also make use of this precedent does any Member present dare to say that no similar arrangement will be made in the future?
代理主席，正因如此，我認為我們不宜草率地在巨大爭議聲中通過"一地兩檢"方案。
Deputy President it is precisely due to all these reasons that I do not think we should pass the co - location proposal hastily amid huge controversy
有些同事顯然很不喜歡聽到"割地兩檢"一詞。
Some colleagues obviously detest the term cession - based co - location arrangement
我理解你是在提醒我把握時間。
I assume that you are reminding me to make the best use of my time
我們不斷提問，結果揭露出很多漏洞。
In the process of raising questions more loopholes were revealed
這些漏洞全都影響香港市民日後使用有關地方的權利或安全，我們因而希望能有充足時間多作討論，但葉太怎樣處理？
As all these loopholes may impact the rights or safety of Hong Kong people in their future use of the relevant area we hence asked for sufficient time for discussion . Yet how did Mrs IP respond to our request?
她真是"功在黨國"，顯出何謂粗暴"剪布"。
She did make great contribution to the party - state and demonstrated how to cut off a filibuster forcibly
反正已經到了這個階段，請讓市民知悉箇中原因，好嗎？
As the case now stands please let the public learn about the whys and wherefores . Is that okay?
代理主席，另一點是跨境廢物處理的問題。
Deputy President the second point is about cross - boundary waste disposal
是甚麼標準程序？
What is the standard procedure?
我列舉兩個例子。
I am going to give two examples concerning the Presidents refusal to approve my proposed allow Committee stage amendments CSAs . That is the third reason for me to support the adjournment
我的論點主要是圍繞《條例草案》屬違法、違憲，亦違反"一國兩制"的原則，但政府卻迫使立法會通過這項不該通過，而即使通過了也是違法的法案。
My arguments mainly revolve around the point that the Bill is unlawful and unconstitutional and that it has violated the principle of one country two systems . However the Government has forced the Legislative Council to pass this Bill which should not be passed or even if the Bill is passed it will still be unlawful
許智峯議員，你正在評論我的裁決，請你不要評論主席的裁決。
Mr HUI Chi - fung you are commenting on my ruling . Please do not comment on the Presidents ruling
你亦在揣測我的意圖。
You are also speculating my intentions
首先，我會談違法、違憲的問題，這是非常清晰的。
First of all I will discuss the issue concerning the Bill being unlawful and unconstitutional which is crystal clear
《基本法》第十八條規定，全國性法律除列於附件三者外，不得在香港特別行政區實施。
Article 18 of the Basic Law stipulates that national laws shall not be applied in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR except for those listed in Annex III to the Basic Law
因此，按照《基本法》第十八條的規定，如果我們這次硬要通過《條例草案》，把香港的西九龍站割出去，就是在香港的土地實施內地法律及剔走司法管轄權。
Therefore in accordance with Article 18 of the Basic Law if we insist on passing the Bill and ceding the West Kowloon Station we will be implementing Mainland laws in the territory of Hong Kong and giving up our jurisdiction over the area
因此，在制定法律的過程中，立法會有憲制責任確保我們審議的法案不會抵觸《基本法》，立法會無權亦不可以制定和通過抵觸《基本法》的法例。
Therefore in enacting laws the Legislative Council has the constitutional responsibility to ensure that the bills we are scrutinizing will not contravene the Basic Law . The Legislative Council has no right to and cannot enact and pass legislation that contravenes the Basic Law
大律師公會及香港律師會分別就《條例草案》提交意見，前者堅決認為《條例草案》沒有憲制基礎，立法會亦因此不能在不違反《基本法》的情況下制定及通過《條例草案》。
The Bar Association and The Law Society of Hong Kong have submitted their opinions on the Bill . The former firmly believed that the Bill had no constitutional basis so the Legislative Council could not enact and pass the Bill without contravening the Basic Law
建制派的同事不是很擁護《基本法》嗎？
Isnt it true that pro - establishment colleagues firmly uphold the Basic Law?
我想強調，政府向法案委員會解釋《基本法》第十八條時表示，這項條文的立法原意是要限制全國性法律在特區範圍內對所有人的一般性適用。
Let me reiterate when the Government explained Article 18 of the Basic Law to the Bills Committee it said that the legislative intent of this provision was to restrict the general application of national laws to all members of the public in HKSAR
