就此，我們無法支持林健鋒議員的修正案，因為現階段貿然擴大自由行的政策，未必可令旅遊業朝正確的方向發展，至於......
For this reason we cannot support the amendment proposed by Mr Jeffrey LAM because an arbitrary expansion of the IVS policy at this moment may not guarantee that the tourism industry will develop towards the right direction
我們會支持，我謹此陳辭。
we will support them . I so submit

I now call upon the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury to speak and move the motion
"充分發揮本地旅遊資源的優勢"的議案辯論。
The motion debate on Giving full play to the edges of local tourism resources
主席，我動議若稍後就"充分發揮本地旅遊資源的優勢"所提出的議案或修正案再進行點名表決，表決須在鐘聲響起1分鐘後進行。
President I move that in the event of further divisions being claimed in respect of the motion on Giving full play to the edges of local tourism resources or any amendments thereto this Council do proceed to each of such divisions immediately after the division bell has been rung for one minute
我命令若稍後就"充分發揮本地旅遊資源的優勢"所提出的議案或修正案再進行點名表決，表決須在鐘聲響起1分鐘後進行。
I order that in the event of further divisions being claimed in respect of the motion on Giving full play to the edges of local tourism resources or any amendments thereto this Council do proceed to each of such divisions immediately after the division bell has been rung for one minute
主席，我要多謝姚思榮議員提出這議案。
President I have to thank Mr YIU Si - wing for moving this motion
海是我們極佳的天然旅遊資源。
The sea is our excellent natural tourism resource
美國有龐大漁業，當中有七成屬於休閒漁業。
The United States has a big fishing industry with 70 % being leisure fishery
香港擁有1,000多公里的海岸線，卻沒有充分發揮這方面的優勢。
Despite having a coastline of over 1 000 km long Hong Kong has not taken good advantage of this edge
如今漁業的作業區域被填海填得越來越小，這裏有海岸公園，那裏又有新機場，業界有很大怨氣。
As the operation areas of the fishing industry have kept shrinking due to reclamation establishment of marine parks and extension of airport runways the fishing sector has great grievances
政府在損害海洋資源的同時，並沒有制訂措施幫助行業轉型，與旅遊業配合，我對此相當失望。
In damaging the marine resources the Government has not formulated any measure to help the transformation of the industry to tie in with the tourism industry . I am very disappointed about that
我希望能為來港旅客提供新體驗，希望政府落實這方面的政策。
I wish to provide new experiences for our visitors and hope that the Government will implement policies in this regard
除了海之外，我們也很想推廣生態旅遊或休閒農業。
Apart from taking advantage of the sea we also like to promote eco - tourism or leisure agricultural industry
代理主席，首先感謝姚思榮議員提出原議案。
Deputy President first of all I would like to thank Mr YIU Si - wing for moving the original motion
旅遊業是香港其中一項支柱產業，佔本地生產總值約5%，就業人口約為27萬；旅遊業同時亦帶動零售、酒店、餐飲和運輸等行業的發展，對香港經濟有很大貢獻。
As one of the pillar industries in Hong Kong the tourism industry contributes about 5 % to our GDP and employs about 270 000 people . Moreover tourism has been driving the development of many Hong Kong industries such as retail hotel food and beverages and transport
因此，對於如何促進本港旅遊業持續發展，我和香港經濟民生聯盟的同事均十分重視。
Great contribution has been made by the tourism industry to the economy of Hong Kong . Hence Honourable colleagues from the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong and I are gravely concerned about the measures to be taken to promote the sustainable development of Hong Kongs tourism industry
林健鋒議員今天提出的修正案，表達了我們的一些關注點和具體建議。
The amendment proposed by Mr Jeffrey LAM today underlines some of our major concerns and specific proposals
儘管香港目前仍然是世界上接待最多旅客的城市之一，但本地多個旅遊景點已經營運多年，部分配套設施亦落後於發展所需，對遊客的吸引力正逐漸減弱。
Although Hong Kong is still one of the most visited cities in the world a number of local tourist attractions have been operated for years and some complementary facilities have become outdated . Hence Hong Kongs appeal as a travel destination has been waning
與此同時，世界旅遊業的競爭日趨激烈，各地或爭相開發新景點，或簡化旅遊簽證手續，加上多種外幣兌港元的匯價下跌，這些因素均削弱了旅客的訪港意欲。
Meanwhile the global tourism industry has become more competitive with different places either opening up new attractions or streamlining tourist visa application procedures . All these factors together with a strong Hong Kong Dollar against many foreign currencies have undermined the desire of visitors to travel to Hong Kong
至於香港正在規劃和建設的一些新景點，例如飛躍啟德、西九文化區和香港迪士尼樂園擴建等，均要好一段時間才能落成，顯然是遠水難救近火。
While some new tourist attractions such as Kai Tak Fantasy the West Kowloon Cultural District and the expansion of the Hong Kong Disneyland are under planning and construction some time is needed for their commissioning . Clearly it is a case that the steed starves while the grass grows
為了對症下藥，我認為特區政府應該適時調整旅遊業發展的策略，分別採取短、中、長期的應對措施。
I consider that in order to suit the remedy to the case the SAR Government should timely adjust its development strategy for the tourism industry by taking short - medium - and long - term countermeasures respectively
其一，政府應善用本港作為東西方文化交流樞紐的優勢，發掘現有各項旅遊資源的潛力，包括地質公園和郊野公園等自然景觀；博物館、歷史建築和非物質文化遺產項目等人文景觀；香港國際七人欖球賽及香港藝術節等大型盛事，以便全方位推動多元化和高增值的旅遊項目。
Firstly the Government should capitalize on Hong Kongs advantage as a meeting point between Eastern and Western cultures and explore the potentials of existing tourism resources including the natural landscape of geoparks country parks and so on; the cultural landscape of museums historic buildings intangible cultural heritage items and so on; as well as various major events such as Hong Kong Rugby Sevens and the Hong Kong Arts Festival so as to promote diversified and high value - added tourism projects in a holistic manner
其次，政府必須妥善地規劃和投放資源，以增加新景點，並完善相關配套設施，例如特區政府表示，將於今年內為在啟德郵輪碼頭旁邊的"啟德旅遊中樞"招標，打造世界級的旅遊亮點。
Secondly the Government should properly plan and allocate resources for the development of new attractions as well as the improvement of the relevant complementary facilities . For instance according to the SAR Government a tender will be invited this year for the Kai Tak Tourism Node in the vicinity of the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal to develop a world - class tourist attraction
我認為當局應同時加快規劃興建啟德體育園區，以舉辦更多國際體育比賽和大型活動。
I hold that the authorities should also expedite the planning and construction of the Kai Tak Sports Park so that more international sports competitions and large - scale events can be organized
隨着港珠澳大橋及屯門至赤鱲角連接路全段將先後落成，當局應該推動加快興建機場第三條跑道，並完善相關的交通接駁和基建配套設施，使赤鱲角機場及其周邊地區形成一個匯聚航空、鐵路、公路和渡輪的大型綜合交通樞紐，並且參考其他地方，例如荷蘭阿姆斯特丹史基浦機場發展航天城的經驗，優化香港機場管理局的"SKYCITY航天城"項目，藉以規劃發展一個集旅遊、會展、商務、零售、餐飲和娛樂等功能於一身的專區。
Upon the successive completion of the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge and the entire Tuen Mun - Chek Lap Kok Link the authorities should strive to expedite the construction of the third runway at the airport and improve the relevant transport connections and complementary infrastructure so that the airport at Chek Lap Kok and its surrounding areas will form a large - scale integrated hub where flight routes railways highways and ferry routes converge . The authorities should also fine - tune the Airport Authoritys SKYCITY project by actively making reference to the experience of the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in the Netherlands in developing its airport city so that a dedicated area incorporating such functions as tourism convention and exhibition business retail dining and entertainment can be planned and developed
至於整個大嶼山"北發展 南保育"的發展方向，已於2016年年初進行公眾參與活動；當局預計今年上半年可以公布發展藍圖。
After the authorities completed the public engagement exercise for the development of Lantau along the overall direction of development for the north conservation for the south in early 2016 it is expected that the blueprint for Lantaus development will be published in the first half of this year
同樣不容忽視的是，特區政府應該盡快就旅遊業制訂長遠及全面的政策和進行整體規劃，並且完善推動旅遊業發展的相關制度和架構。
Notwithstanding the above it is equally important for the SAR Government to expeditiously formulate long - term and comprehensive policies as well as make overall planning for our tourism industry . Besides work should be done to improve the relevant system and framework so as to further promote tourism development in Hong Kong
今天剛好在立法會進行首讀的《旅遊業條例草案》，旨在成立法定機構旅遊業監管局，為旅行代理商、導遊及領隊的發牌制度及規管訂立法律框架。
Incidentally the Travel Industry Bill which seeks to provide for the establishment of a statutory body the Travel Industry Authority and the legislative framework for the licensing and regulation of travel agents tour guides and tour escorts received its First Reading in Council today
我認為由於旅遊業涉及多個政策範疇，當局應該研究成立跨部門組織，以便統籌和協調旅遊業及相關行業的發展，例如在資源投放方面。
As the tourism industry is related to a number of policy areas I think the authorities should consider the establishment of an inter - departmental body to oversee and coordinate the development of tourism industry and other related industries such as in respect of resource allocation
除了擴建香港會議展覽中心和亞洲國際博覽館外，當局亦應該在土地規劃上增加會展場地的供應，以興建大型的會議展覽中心，吸引更多國際會議和展覽在香港舉行，從而提升會展旅客的數目。
Apart from expanding the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre and the Asia World - Expo the Administration should also increase venue supply from the perspective of land use planning so that large convention and exhibition centres can be constructed to attract the holding of more international conventions and exhibitions in Hong Kong thereby increasing the number of convention and exhibition visitors
代理主席，在旅遊業發展藍圖和規劃的實施方面，當局既要與不同持份者溝通，又要完善跨部門協調，更要尋求與其他相關地區合作，而旅遊業界亦應該改善從業員的待遇和培訓，致力提升服務質素和接待遊客的能力，共同維護香港作為好客之都的形象。
Deputy President as far as the implementation of the tourism development blueprint and planning is concerned the authorities must ensure communication with different stakeholders while improving inter - departmental coordination and seeking the cooperation of the relevant districts . On the part of the tourism industry it should improve the remunerations and training of practitioners in order to enhance the service quality as well as receiving capacity . All parties must work concertedly to uphold Hong Kongs image as a hospitable travel destination
如果沒有，我現在請財經事務及庫務局局長發言答辯。
If not I now call upon the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury to reply
畢竟，香港的政府部門都是各自為政的，還好像很理所當然，只是至今仍然沒有解決方法。
After all various departments of the SAR Government only mind their own business and take this for granted . So far no solution has been identified
試問政府可以替我們做些甚麼呢？
What can the Government do for us?
主席，謹此陳辭。
President I so submit
我現在請易志明議員發言及動議議案。
I now call upon Mr Frankie YICK to speak and move the motion
第二項議案：延展於2017年3月1日提交本會省覽的《版權審裁處規則》的修訂期限。
Second motion To extend the period for amending the Copyright Tribunal Rules which was laid on the Table of this Council on 1 March 2017
我現在請李慧琼議員發言及動議議案。
I now call upon Ms Starry LEE to speak and move the motion
主席，有調查顯示，分別有百分之七十四及百分之九十九的受訪食品公司和連鎖式便利店，把已經或快將過期或賣相欠佳因而未能出售，但仍適宜供人食用的食物丟棄，造成浪費和產生廚餘。
President a survey has revealed that 74 % and 99 % respectively of the food product companies and chain convenience stores surveyed discarded foods that could not be sold because they had expired would soon expire or had unappealing appearance but were still suitable for human consumption causing wastage and giving rise to food waste
該兩類機構的經營者當中分別有百分之二十九及百分之八十二表示，由於擔心捐贈食物可能招致法律風險，所以沒有把該等食物贈予非牟利機構以供有需要人士食用。
Among the operators of these two types of organizations 29 % and 82 % of them respectively indicated that they had not donated such foods to non - profit making organizations for consumption by the needy because they were worried that legal risks might be incurred for donating foods
主席，局長沒有回答我的補充質詢。
President the Secretary has not answered my supplementary question
局長又說經濟誘因，又說公帑，我只是問他，會不會考慮向商界提供退稅優惠，鼓勵他們捐贈食物？
The Secretary has referred to economic incentives and public money but I am merely asking him whether he will consider providing the business sector with tax refund so as to encourage them to donate foods
政府如何評價資助項目的成效，成效是否理想，以及有否與其他國家進行比較？
How does the Government assess the effectiveness of the funded projects is the result satisfactory and has any comparison been made with other countries?
局長可否向本會解釋，為甚麼透過政府撥款，捐贈機構便可以解決食物捐贈的相關法律責任？
Can the Secretary explain to this Council why food donors funded by the Government can address the problem of legal liabilities associated with food donation?
如果我們自行設立機制，民間團體自然無需透過基金撥款，便可在受保護的情況下捐贈食物，既節省納稅人的錢，又可以擴大成效。
If we establish a mechanism under which community groups can without having to rely on funding from ECF donate food under a protected regime we will not only save taxpayers money but also achieve far greater effectiveness
主席，我當然不會認為局長和政策局這幾年沒有做事，事實上政府真正推動了惜食的文化。
President I certainly will not think that the Secretary and the Bureau have done nothing over the past several years . In fact the Government has indeed promoted a culture of cherishing food
如果能夠為食物捐贈者訂立一項免責的法例，便可以多踏前一步，讓更多商戶願意捐贈，所以每一步均同樣重要。
If we can enact legislation to discharge food donors from the associated legal liabilities we will be moving a step forward and enable more business operators to be willing to donate foods . As such every step is equally important
其他國家例如法國更為進取，我想局長也知道，法國甚至已經訂立法例，要求超級市場必須與食物銀行簽訂捐贈協議，禁止棄置或摧毀未過期而賣剩的食物。
Other countries such as France are more aggressive . I reckon that the Secretary knows that France has even enacted legislation to require supermarkets to enter into donation agreements with food banks so as to prohibit the disposal or destruction of surplus foods that have not expired
韓國投放很多資源來銷售電影及推廣食品。
Korea has put in a lot of resources promoting movies and food
很多年前，一套"大長今"劇集，令香港人對韓國食品感到興趣，該國的化妝品及衣服都隨之打入國際市場。
Many years ago owing to the drama Dae Chang Kum Hong Kong people become interested in Korean food . Later Koreas cosmetics and garments have also taken up a place in the international market
旅遊這開心的事情可能需要跨政策局合作，旅遊涉及發展、交通、工商、環境，甚至民政的範疇。
Tourism that brings people happiness requires cooperation among Policy Bureaux because areas such as development transport commerce and industry environment and home affairs are involved
剛才很多議員提到，很多事情已經被忽略，包括一些食品，如雞蛋仔、豆腐花等。
A number of Members have just said that many things have been ignored including some food such as egg puffs and bean curd pudding etc
為何美食車不能售賣臭豆腐，一定要售賣指定食 品？
Why cant food trucks sell fermented bean curd; why must they sell designated food?
我同意美食車真的未能達到市民的期望。
I agree that food trucks really fail to meet the expectations of the public and I hope that this situation can be slowly improved
我希望局長考慮跨局推廣旅遊業。
I also hope that the Secretary will consider making inter - bureau efforts to promote the tourism industry
露宿者和一般市民均可獲得這些緊急支援服務。
These emergency support services are available to both street sleepers and general members of the public
消防處沒有就露宿者聚居地點發生火警的數字作分項統計。
The Fire Services Department does not have the breakdown on the number of fires occurred at places where street sleepers congregated
二 社會福利署資助6間非政府機構營辦市區單身人士宿舍和市區緊急收容中心，並透過調撥資源，於2016-2017年度加設20個資助宿位，共提供222個宿位。
2 The Social Welfare Department SWD subvents six non - governmental organizations NGOs to operate urban hostels for single persons and urban emergency shelters . With the increase of 20 places provided through reallocation of resources in 2016 - 2017 there are a total of 222 subvented places
此外，現時還有其他非政府機構以自負盈虧方式提供408個宿位，合共提供630個資助或自負盈虧宿位。
Taking into account 408 places provided by NGOs on a self - financing basis at present there are a total number of 630 subvented or self - financing places
資助宿位的入住期一般最長為6個月，惟負責社工可因應個別個案的需要考慮延長宿期，以便順利落實長期住宿計劃。
The maximum duration of stay at subvented places is normally six months . However the responsible social workers may consider extending the stay having regard to the needs of individual cases so as to facilitate the implementation of long - term accommodation plans
至於自負盈虧宿位的入住期則由有關機構自行決定。
The duration of stay in self - financing hostels is determined by the operating agencies concerned
在過去3個財政年度，資助宿位的平均入住率約為80%。
In the past three financial years the average utilization rate of subvented places was about 80 %
社署會適時檢視有關服務的入住期，以及密切留意其供求情況。
SWD will duly review the duration of stay in hostels and closely keep in view the supply and demand of the service
除了上述專為露宿者而設的宿舍外，社署或非政府機構亦可以恩恤理由轉介露宿者入住民政事務總署轄下兩個以自負盈虧方式營運的單身人士宿舍，現時該兩個宿舍共可提供580個床位。
In addition to making use of the above mentioned dedicated hostels for accommodating street sleepers SWD and NGOs may also on compassionate grounds refer street sleepers for admission to the two self - financing singleton hostels under HAD which altogether provide a total of 580 places
現時，各項戒毒治療和康復服務大致可應付需求。
At present various drug treatment and rehabilitation services in general are able to meet service demand
社署自2010年10月起在全港各區設立24間精神健康綜合社區中心。
Since October 2010 SWD has set up 24 Integrated Community Centres for Mental Wellness ICCMWs across the territory
這些中心由非政府機構營辦，提供一站式、地區為本的社區精神健康支援服務，包括外展服務，服務對象包括露宿者。
These ICCMWs operated by NGOs provide one - stop district - based community mental health support services including outreaching services . Target service recipients include among others street sleepers
政府在2017-2018年度將額外增撥約3,200萬元經常開支，進一步增加精神健康綜合社區中心的社工及支援人手。
In 2017 - 2018 an additional recurrent funding of around 32 million will be allocated to further increase the number of social workers and supporting staff at ICCMWs
在2017-2018年度，醫管局將獲增撥7,300萬元經常性撥款以加強精神科服務。
In 2017 - 2018 an additional recurrent funding of 73 million will be allocated to HA for enhancing psychiatric services
政府沒有就為露宿者提供戒毒服務及外展精神健康服務的人手，以及露宿者接受該等服務的人次備存分項數據。
The Government does not keep breakdown figures on the manpower for the provision of drug rehabilitation services and outreaching mental health services for street sleepers nor on the number of street sleepers receiving such services
今時今日，即使根據保守估計，坊間的無家者共有1614人這是大學的調查結果90多個宿位顯然不足，而半年的住宿期亦無法令他們改變生活。
At present according to the finding of a university study there are a total of 1 614 homeless people in the community which is already a conservative estimate . Clearly 90 - odd places are insufficient to meet the need . Moreover a maximum stay of six months can hardly give street sleepers enough time to change their lifestyle
即使要施加這種限制，當局最低限度也要增加宿位，但為何一直都沒有增加專為露宿者提供的宿位？
Even if such a restriction is valid the authorities must at least increase the number of hostel places . But why has the number of hostel places dedicated for accommodating street sleepers not been increased all along?
我想指出，現時一般的居住期是6個月，因為我們提供這些緊急宿舍，其定位是作為中轉站；若要解決露宿者的長期住宿需要，始終要靠增加房屋供應。
Those are the places not specifically used for the placement of street sleepers . I would like to point out that at present the duration of stay is generally set at six months because these emergency hostels are positioned as interim accommodation . If the long - term accommodation need of street sleepers is to be met we can only rely on an increase in housing supply
主席，在2月6日晚上8時至凌晨1時半，福利事務委員會有9位委員曾探訪露宿者。
President nine members of the Panel on Welfare Services conducted a visit to street sleepers from 8col00 pm on 6 February to 1col30 am the next day
政府這樣做，難道是要表示只有深水埗區有露宿者，而其他區沒有嗎？
Does the Government mean to indicate that street sleepers can be found only in Sham Shui Po and not in other districts?
主席，我的問題是：政府何時才會制訂無家者友善政策？
President my questions are When will the Government formulate a homeless - friendly policy?
何時才會進行露宿者人口統計？
When will a census of street sleepers be conducted?
一方面，我們要支援露宿者，並針對個別露宿者不同需要提供協助；另一方面，我們要照顧整體上的地區管理，包括環境衞生、治安等問題。
On the one hand we must give street sleepers support and provide assistance to them individually according to their different needs . On the other hand we must ensure proper district management as a whole including environmental hygiene law and order
根據我從相關部門取得的資料，他們絕對尊重露宿者。
From the information I obtained from the relevant departments it is evident that they absolutely respect street sleepers
我已聽到邵議員的關注，我相信其他部門的同事亦已聽到這些意見，我會將議員的關注轉介他們跟進。
I have heard Mr SHIUs concerns . I think colleagues from other departments have also heard these views . I will relay the Members concerns to them for follow up
主席，我想你也聽得很清楚，局長沒有回答我的問題：政府何時制訂露宿者政策？
President I think you have also heard very well that the Secretary has not answered my questions that is when will the Government formulate a policy on street sleeping and when will a census of street sleepers be conducted?
這些統計與當局的數字有出入，據我理解是因為"無家者"和"露宿者"在定義上有分別。
The number indicated in such statistics is different from the statistics compiled by the Government because as far as I understand there are differences in the definition of homeless people and street sleepers
我想問局長，可否再增加宿位，以致6個月的住宿期可以延長，讓入住的露宿者有較長時間適應環境，然後尋覓新居所？
I would like to ask the Secretary whether more hostel places can be provided so that the six - month duration of stay can be extended to allow street sleepers a longer period of time to adapt to the environment and then look for a new home?
多謝梁議員的提問。
I thank Mr LEUNG for the question
我們十分樂意檢視實際情況，但究竟住宿期需要多長時間，我想要視乎個別情況而定。
We would be most willing to look into the actual situation . As regards the optimal duration of stay I think it would depend on the circumstances of individual cases
我想問局長，你所說的原則究竟何時才會出現？
I would like to ask the Secretary When will the principle he mentioned be put to work?
根據民政事務總署給我的資料，當時沒有露宿者表示有即時住宿需要。
According to the information I obtained from HAD no street sleeper indicated a need for immediate accommodation
如果議員想進一步就具體情況取得資料，據我所知，福利事務委員會及食物安全及環境衞生事務委員會將在下星期一舉行聯席會議，屆時深水埗民政事務專員將會出席，議員可在該場合要求提供進一步資料。
If the Member needs further information on the specific details I am aware that the District Officer Sham Shui Po will attend a joint meeting to be held by the Panel on Welfare Services and the Panel on Food Safety and Environmental Hygiene next Monday . The Member can seek further information on that occasion
主席，香港每年有5,000多萬人次旅客，比日本多超過一倍。
President there are 50 million - odd visitor arrivals to Hong Kong each year which is more than double that of Japan
由此可見，香港旅遊業欠缺的從來不是人數，而是一個清晰的定位。
Hence the number of visitors is never a problem to the tourism industry of Hong Kong what is missing is a clear positioning
舉例而言，自由行的不過夜旅客來港只是購買日用品，又或進行"走水貨"活動。
For instance non - overnight visitors under the Individual Visit Scheme only come to Hong Kong to purchase daily necessities or carry out parallel trading activities
他們的消費根本及不上過夜或高增值旅客，而且因為其人數龐大，更為我們的交通、日用品價格、生活質素等帶來不少麻煩，令社會積聚了很多不必要的怨氣。
Their spending level is not comparable to that of overnight visitors or high value - added visitors . Besides the influx of non - overnight visitors has brought problems to our transport services pushed up commodity prices and affected the publics quality of living . Undue public grievances have thus accumulated
我們應反思如何擺脫這種純粹粗放式的發展。
We should reflect on how to stay away from this kind of purely extensive development of the tourism industry
回歸基本，旅行的本意不但是為了滿足吃喝玩樂、購物娛樂等慾望或需求，也是為了增廣見聞、體驗另一種生活，以及享受當地的風土人情。
Let us get back to the basics . People travel not just for feasting pleasure - seeking shopping and entertainment; they also want to enhance their knowledge experience another way of lifestyle as well as learn about the foreign culture and meet local people
旅行是一種人生經驗。
Travelling are experiences in life
香港曾經是英國殖民地，很久之前亦曾有宋朝皇帝流亡到此。
Hong Kong was once a British colony . Many years ago an emperor of the Song Dynasty fled the country and took refuge in Hong Kong
香港經歷過第二次世界大戰，當時有加拿大兵、印裔士兵、英軍等為香港奮戰。
Hong Kong experienced World War II when some Canadian Indian and British soldiers bravely fought for Hong Kong
香港的歷史就如維港的燈光一樣，富有獨特而豐富的色彩。
The history of Hong Kong is as unique and colourful as the lights of the Victoria Harbour
可惜，香港在發展過程中，有意無意地推倒了種種歷史足印。
Unfortunately as Hong Kong develops various historical traces have been erased intentionally and unintentionally
土瓜灣站宋元兩代的古井受盡破壞，難以保留。
The two ancient wells dated back to the Song and Yuan Dynasties at To Kwa Wan Station have been so badly damaged that they cannot be preserved
孫中山的紅樓過去不受保育，若非有看不過眼的市民不斷投訴，我想今天已被完全拆毀。
Hung Lau commemorating Dr SUN Yat - sen has not been conserved in the past and it would have been completely demolished were it not for the incessant complaints lodged by some disapproving members of the public
舊郵筒上的皇冠標誌被香港郵政偷偷遮蓋，前香港郵政署署長丁葉燕薇曾在議會上被議員問到啞口無言，相信大家都歷歷在目。
The crown markings on posting boxes have been secretly covered by Hongkong Post . Members will clearly remember that former Postmaster General Jessie TING was as dumb as a fish when Members put questions to her on this matter at the Legislative Council
以德國柏林為例，參觀集中營遺址時，會有熟悉歷史的人沿途講解。
Take Berlin as an example . When people visit the concentration camp sites they will be guided by those well versed in history
透過正視歷史，引以為鑒，柏林的國際城市形象得以一點一點地累積起來。
By facing history squarely and drawing lessons from history Berlin gradually builds up its image as an international city
