目前整體交易或結算安排都是穩健和暢順的。
Overall speaking the transaction or clearing arrangements are sound and smooth
我問的是在全球疫情及中美角力如此緊張的情況下，局長會否加速優化我們的市調機制，令我們能更靈活及適應地處理有關危機？
I asked the Secretary whether he will in view of the very tense situation of the pandemic and the wrestling between China and the United States speed up the enhancement of VCM so that we can deal with the crises more flexibly and appropriately
其實，我剛才在回答主體質詢時已提到，就市場波動調節機制來說，每個市場也有其獨特性，亦須因應不同市場的發展進行。
Actually as I said in my reply to the main question earlier insofar as volatility control mechanism is concerned each market is unique and adjustments have to be made in the light of the development of respective markets
港交所會繼續與市場人士商討，因應市場發展，檢視下一步有甚麼需要作出調整。
HKEx will continue to hold discussion with market practitioners and review what adjustments will be required as the next step in the light of the development of the market
局長在主體答覆中說得很樂觀，他說在歐美的內地公司可能會來港上市，內地的創新公司亦可能會來港上市，這當然是由於它們以後可能無法再前往外國上市；但我們卻看到一些投行已經在香港減慢進行新投資的步伐或甚至縮減規模。
The Secretary has sounded very optimistic in the main reply in saying that Mainland enterprises in Europe and the United States may come to Hong Kong for listing and that innovative companies in the Mainland may also come to Hong Kong for listing . Obviously this is because they probably cannot list in overseas countries anymore in future . However we have seen that some investment banks have slowed down the pace of their new investment or even reduced their scale of operation in Hong Kong
上述所說的產品及流動性的交匯，正正是香港金融中心其中一個特點。
Our role as a meeting point in respect of products and liquidity as I have explained above is precisely a characteristic of the financial centre in Hong Kong
在這基礎上，我們下一步有何新的計劃及新的發展方向呢？
Under this premise what new plan and new direction for development do we have as the next step?
那便是要進一步造大、造強、以及做好我們這個產品平台，例如ETF等不同產品。
It will be to further expand reinforce and improve our platform for products such as ETF and various other products
此外，在流動性方面，我們要與內地及國際有更多及更好的連通，吸引新的資金或不同的資金進入本地市場。
Moreover in respect of liquidity we have to forge connectivity with the Mainland and the international market in more areas and in a better way in order to attract new or diversified capital to the local markets
代理主席，我發言支持民主派議員對《國歌條例草案》提出的修正案。
Deputy Chairman I speak in support of the amendments proposed by the pro - democracy Members to the National Anthem Bill the Bill
代理主席，原則上民主黨無法支持《條例草案》。
Deputy Chairman the Democratic Party cannot support the Bill in principle
但問題是，我們是否有需要就國歌立法，以規管市民的行為呢？
But the question is whether it is necessary to enact legislation on the national anthem to govern the behaviours of the people
所以，我們仍然要尊重香港市民，他們是否愛國，用甚麼方式愛國，如何愛國或不愛國，我們是 否應該給予市民自由意志來決定呢？
As to whether they love the country in what way they love the country and how patriotic or unpatriotic they are should we not allow the people to have free will to make their own decisions?
香港人一直對甚麼是愛國和如何愛國，其實在不同年代都有很多掙扎。
As to what it means to be patriotic and how to be patriotic Hong Kong people actually have a lot of struggles at different times
現在香港已經回歸中國，但有人覺得人心並未回歸，問題是現在是否可以透過訂立《條例草案》而令人心回歸呢？
Now Hong Kong is reunited with China but there is the view that the peoples hearts have yet to be reunited . The question is Can the peoples hearts be reunited through the enactment of the Bill?
市民是否在聽到奏唱國歌時便會肅然起敬，因而變得愛國呢？
Is it that the playing and singing of the national anthem will command great respect from the people hence making them patriotic?
其實，對於甚麼是愛國，始終不同的香港人也有不同的標準。
In fact what does it mean to be patriotic? . After all Hong Kong people have varying standards
我們談到愛國的時候，究竟是指地理上的中國、文化上的中國、歷史上的中國，還是現時執政的中共政權呢？
When we talk about loving our country do we mean loving China geographically or culturally or historically or do we mean loving the CPC regime currently in power?
我注意到有議員，包括陳志全議員及梁繼昌議員，均提出一些"減辣"的修正案。
I noticed that some Members including Mr CHAN Chi - chuen and Mr Kenneth LEUNG have proposed amendments to reduce the penalty
早前我在審議時亦曾提出有關意見，我也希望提出這些"減辣"的修正案，但最後我知道許智峯議員建議直接刪去第7條，所以我收回我的修正案。
During the deliberation on the Bill I also put forward this view and hoped to put forward an amendment to reduce the penalty . But I finally withdrew my amendment on learning that Mr HUI Chi - fung would propose the deletion of clause 7 direct
不過，很可惜，最後主席不批准許智峯議員提出刪去第7條的修正案。
However it is most regrettable that the President ultimately did not allow Mr HUI Chi - fung to propose his amendment on the deletion of clause 7
代理主席，現在看到陳志全議員及梁繼昌議員提出具"減辣"效果的修正案，無論是減低刑罰，即由監禁3年減至1個月，或將第5級罰款減輕，對於"減辣"的原則，民主黨是支持的。
Deputy Chairman Mr CHAN Chi - chuen and Mr Kenneth LEUNG have now proposed amendments with the effect of reducing the penalty . Be it reducing the prison sentence from three years to one month or lowering the level 5 fine the Democratic Party supports the principle of reducing the penalty
在審議過程中，我們曾詢問政府有否研究其他國家有否為國歌法立法？
In the course of the deliberation we asked the Government whether studies had been conducted to find out if legislation was enacted on the national anthem in other countries and if so what the penalty was; and among countries where laws were enacted on the national anthem in how many countries the people would be arrested and sentenced to imprisonment for as long as three years
至於新加坡，香港人都以為它比香港更嚴厲，但在新加坡觸犯有關法例，也不會被判監禁。當地的法例只是訂明任何人如沒有合理辯解，違反國歌法第12條，可被判罰款不超過1,000新加坡元。
As for Singapore while Hong Kong people expect its penalty to be harsher than that in Hong Kong the fact is that in Singapore a person who commits this offence will not be sentenced to jail because the law only states that any person who without reasonable excuse contravenes rule 12 of the national anthem act shall be liable to a fine not exceeding S1,000
我們真的看不到為何香港現時訂立的《條例草案》，要嚴刑峻法到屬全世界最"辣"，要判處最高3年的監禁，並要判處第5級罰款，這肯定是嚴刑峻法。
We really cannot see why this Bill to be enacted in Hong Kong has to stipulate such heavy penalty of a standard which is the harshest worldwide in providing for a prison term for up to three years and a fine of level 5 . This is definitely stringent and harsh
雖然有建制派議員說這只是最高罰則，不一定被罰到最高程度。但是，我們真的要問所為何事？
Although some pro - establishment Members said that this is only the maximum penalty and that an offender may not necessarily receive the highest punishment we really must ask what objective the Government wishes to achieve
所以，是否更加高壓，罰則更重，監禁更長， 人民便會更加愛國呢？
So is it that the people will become more patriotic when a more high - handed approach is adopted with heavier penalty and a longer jail term?
代理主席，我完全覺得結果是相反的，亦無法達到訂立《條例草案》的原意，亦即維護國歌的尊嚴，使人民尊重國歌。
Deputy Chairman I really think that the result is just the opposite and it would be impossible to achieve the original intent of enacting the Bill and that is to preserve the dignity of the national anthem and inspire public respect for the national anthem
代理主席，該條文甚至連國際學校和特殊學校全部也包括在內。
This is stipulated in clause 9 of the Bill and Deputy Chairman even international schools and special schools are covered under this provision
如果老師教導學生時，學生不聽話，故意走音，那會否出事呢？
Even if the teachers have done their part in teaching but the students do not listen to the teachers and deliberately sing out of tune will there be any trouble?
因為現在這個政權的焦點，是要所有市民維護國歌的尊嚴，但問題是，這個政權並無全力維護所有香港市民的人權及尊嚴，甚至沒有維護香港立法會議員的尊嚴。
Because this political regime now focuses on making it incumbent on all the people to preserve the dignity of the national anthem but the problem is that this very regime has not made the utmost effort to preserve the human rights and dignity of all Hong Kong people even less so in preserving the dignity of Members of the Legislative Council in Hong Kong
我們的立法權無緣無故地因為北京指定要訂立港區國安法而遭到褫奪。
We are deprived of our legislative power for no reason because Beijing intended to enact a national security law for Hong Kong
即使大家政治立場不同，我相信梁君彥你也應該肯定我們團隊草擬修正案時的認真態度。
Despite our differences in political stance I believe you Andrew LEUNG should give recognition to the earnest attitude of our team in drafting the amendments
我們草擬的修正案獲准提出，便應該給予時間讓我向公眾解釋。
As the amendments we drafted have been ruled admissible I should be given time to explain them to the public
雖然我估計，就我的修正案，無論我說得多有道理，無論我的同事草擬修正案時如何嘔心瀝血，最後建制派也是閉上眼睛投下反對票，全數否決。
Though I anticipate that as far as my amendments are concerned no matter how reasonable my arguments are and how much painstaking efforts my colleagues have made in drafting them in the end the pro - establishment camp would vote against them with their eyes closed and negative them all
我真的想問今時今日的立法會的價值是甚麼？
I truly wish to ask what is the value of the Legislative Council nowadays?
為何過去的"和理非"至今也變成"勇武"？
Why those peaceful rational and non - violent protesters in the past have now become valiant ones?
我今天提出3組修正案，希望在餘下我能爭取到的發言時間裏解釋。
I propose three groups of amendments today and wish to explain them in the remaining speaking time I can hopefully strive for
第二組修正案是訂明不出席須奏唱國歌的場合不構成侮辱國歌的行為。
The second group of amendments is to provide that calling for not attending or taking part in the occasions on which the national anthem must be played and sung is not regarded as insulting the national anthem
第三組修正案關於加入作詞人和作曲人的生平和死因。
The third group of amendments is pertinent to inclusion of the biography and cause of death of the lyricist and the composer of the national anthem
在這次發言，我先談談宗教儀式的問題。
In this speech I will first discuss the issue of religious services
首先我要感謝我的團隊，他們草擬這項修正案時，沒有將宗教儀式訂為無須奏唱國歌的場合，只是不得列入附表3，因為這樣的寫法便不會抵觸《條例草案》，亦不會超出《條例草案》的範圍。
First of all I have to thank my team for when drafting this amendment not setting religious services as the occasions on which the national anthem needs not be played but only not to be set out in Schedule 3 . The reason is that such drafting will neither be in conflict with the Bill nor outside its scope
根據第5條，現時政府可以隨意增減附表3的內容，以增減須奏唱國歌的場合。
Pursuant to clause 5 the Government at present can make additions or deletions to the contents of Schedule 3 at will in respect of the occasions on which the national anthem must be played and sung
第一種情況是中國政府修改《國歌法》，增減須奏唱國歌的場合，這樣特區政府便必須按照內地《國歌法》的修訂而增減附表3載列須奏唱國歌的場合。
The first situation is that the Chinese Government amends the National Anthem Law to increase or reduce the occasions on which the national anthem must be played or sung . Accordingly the Special Administrative Region SAR Government must increase or reduce the occasions on which the national anthem must be played or sung as set out in Schedule 3 following the amendments to the National Anthem Law made by the Mainland
另一種情況就是特首按照香港的情況，自行修訂附表3。
As regards another situation the Chief Executive may take the initiative to amend Schedule 3 in the light of the circumstances in Hong Kong
在這種情況下，特首大可能只是增加附表3的內容。
In this case the Chief Executive will probably merely make additions to the contents of Schedule 3
根據《條例草案》，如果要增減附表3的內容，其實政府只需要通過"先訂立後審議"的程序，不需要諮詢公眾，便可以任意將一些場 合列入附表3。
In accordance with the Bill the Government can make additions or deletions to the contents of Schedule 3 by negative vetting . It may add other occasions to Schedule 3 arbitrarily without any public consultation
而在這些須奏唱國歌的場合中，所有人必須在奏唱國歌時肅立，如果有人作出任何被中國政府、特區政府或未來駐港國安人員視為不尊重國歌的行為，很可能會因違反《國歌法》，甚至是違反港區國安法而需要承擔刑事責任或入獄。
And on such occasions on which the national anthem must be played and sung everyone must stand solemnly while the national anthem is being played and sung . Any person whose behaviour is deemed by the Chinese Government the SAR Government or the future national security personnel stationed in Hong Kong disrespectful to the national anthem may be criminally liable or be subject to imprisonment for breaching the National Anthem Law or the national security law for the Hong Kong SAR
因為我預計在不久將來，中國政府很大機會將宗教儀式列為內地《國歌法》中須奏唱國歌的場合，從而迫使香港同樣把宗教儀式列入附表3。
Because I foresee that in the near future the Chinese Government will very likely provide in the Mainland National Anthem Law that religious services are the occasions on which the national anthem must be played and sung thereby compelling Hong Kong to likewise set out religious services in Schedule 3
現時中國政府沒有訂明宗教儀式開始時必須奏唱國歌，但不少三自教會大家是否知道甚麼是三自教會？
At present the Chinese Government does not stipulate that the national anthem must be played and sung before the commencement of religious services but many three - self churches―do Honourable colleagues know what three - self churches are?
那些三自教會要向黨效忠，所以在宗教儀式上奏唱國歌的例子是有的。
Such three - self churches have to pledge allegiance to the party and so there are examples of the national anthem being played and sung at religious services
我擔心在未來日子，中國政府可能會增加《國歌法》中須奏唱國歌的場合，將宗教儀式列為須奏唱國歌的場合，令所有教會不論是基督教或回教，甚至是佛教進行儀式或崇拜時，均要奏唱國歌以宏揚愛國精神。
I fear that in the days to come the Chinese Government may increase the occasions on which the national anthem must be played and sung as stated in the National Anthem Law and list religious services among the occasions on which the national anthem must be played and sung in order that the national anthem must be played and sung during rituals or worships of all religious organizations be it Christian or Islamic or even Buddhist with a view to promoting patriotism
如果在他們的宗教儀式之前要加插一件事在《條例草案》下，便是奏唱國歌對於他們是一個很大的打擊，也可以說是侮辱。
If one thing has to be added before their religious services―it is the playing and singing of the national anthem under the Bill―it would be a great shock to them and can also be regarded as an insult
整項《條例草案》的精神便是要市民尊重國歌，愛國那些不要說了，那是內在的東西，最少形式上、外表看起來尊重國歌。
The spirit of the entire Bill is to make people respect the national anthem not to mention patriotism which is something intrinsic at least formally and appear to respect the national anthem
但是，若要使用一些條例或方法，強行要求市民在一個活動之前，例如宗教儀式，奏唱國歌，便會惹來反感或產生反向作用。
However if some ordinances or approaches have to be resorted to forcibly require people to play and sing the national anthem before an event such as religious services aversion or reaction will result
他們會抗議、喝倒采，甚至是以唱聖詩的聲音蓋過國歌，或集體離場，或在社交媒體表達不滿。
They would protest boo or even drown out the national anthem with singing of hymns or stage a collective walk - out or express discontent on social media
這些行為未來會否構成侮辱國歌的指控？
Will such behaviour constitute an alleged insult to the national anthem in the future?
但當一個行為變成一個活動，再加上聚眾，很可能就構成顛覆政權。
But when an act becomes an activity combined with the gathering of a crowd it may very likely constitute subversion of state power
因此，有權者不論是執法者或立法者應該盡量收窄自己的權限，要限制自己的權力，有權不要用盡。
Therefore those in power be it law enforcers or legislators should narrow down the scope of their power as far as possible exercise restraint and refrain from exhausting such power
"其實，我從這項條文中看到，"信仰自由"和"參加宗教活動的自由"之前並沒有"依法"這兩個字，即是香港市民有參與宗教活動的自由，只要不觸犯其他法例便可以。
As a matter of fact from this article I see that freedom of conscience and participate in religious activities are not qualified by in accordance with law meaning Hong Kong people have freedom to participate in religious activities so long as they do not break other law
這是否貶損或減損宗教自由？
Is the freedom of religion curtailed and reduced?
是否違反《基本法》第三十二條呢？
Is it a violation of Article 32 of the Basic Law?
故此，基於法理，我今天提出這項修正案，不把宗教儀式列入附表3。
For this reason on legal grounds I propose this amendment today against the inclusion of religious services in Schedule 3
代理主席，我發言支持《國歌條例草案》。
Deputy Chairman I rise to speak in support for the National Anthem Bill the Bill
我反對由反對派提出的21項修正案。
I oppose the 21 amendments proposed by the opposition camp
我支持《條例草案》的理由十分簡單，因為我是中國人，國歌是國家的象徵，尊重自己國家和國歌是每個中國人應有之義。
I support the Bill for the very simple reason that I am Chinese . The national anthem symbolizes the country and it is incumbent upon every Chinese to respect our own country and national anthem
《條例草案》的條文非常簡單和清晰，立法原意是訂立條文，以維護國家和國歌的尊嚴，規範國歌的奏唱、播放和使用，增強公民對國家的觀念，以及宏揚愛國的精神。
The clauses of the Bill are very simple and clear . The legislative intent is to provide for the preservation of the dignity of the country and the national anthem the regulation of the playing singing and use of the national anthem the enhancement of citizen awareness of the country and the promotion of patriotism
對於一項核心精神是尊重國家國歌的《條例草案》，我真的想不到有甚麼理由不同意。
As regards a bill with the core spirit of respecting the country and the national anthem I truly cannot find any reason for objection
接着，我想談談我為何反對21項修正案。
Next I want to discuss why I oppose those 21 amendments
首先，我想談談涉及侮辱罪行的修正案。
First of all I want to talk about the amendments relating to the offence of insulting behaviour
我留意到陳志全議員和梁繼昌議員分別提出修正案，要求降低侮辱國歌罪行的罰則，將一經定罪可處第5級罰款和監禁3年修改為分別可處第1級罰款和監禁1個月，以及可處第5級罰款但無須監禁。
I note that Mr CHAN Chi - chuen and Mr Kenneth LEUNG have proposed amendments to respectively reduce the penalties for the offence of insulting the national anthem from being liable on conviction to a fine at level 5 and imprisonment for three years to a fine at level 1 and imprisonment for one month and a fine at level 5 but no imprisonment
代理主席，我完全無法支持這些修正案。
Deputy Chairman I cannot support such amendments at all
國歌是國家的象徵，侮辱國歌，踐踏國家尊嚴是嚴重罪行，理應給予阻嚇性的罰則。
The national anthem is the symbol of the country . Insulting the national anthem and trampling on national dignity are grave offences for which deterrent penalties should be meted out
對此，我認為我們可以參考外國的罰則，但不可以與外國比較。
In this regard I think we can draw reference from the penalties of foreign countries but not make comparisons with them
畢竟每個國家及地方的法律制度和現實情況均有所不同，而且據我所見，全球大部分的人也不會侮辱自己的國歌，但偏偏香港卻有一小撮人"噓"國歌，侮辱國旗和國徽。
After all every country or place has different legal systems and actual situations . And according to my observations the majority of people in the world will not insult their own national anthems . Yet in Hong Kong a handful of people boo the national anthem and insult the national flag and national emblem
因此，我認為《條例草案》對侮辱國歌罪行訂立的罰則是恰當的，亦符合香港的現實。
Therefore I consider the penalties for the offence of insulting the national anthem provided for in the Bill appropriate and consistent with the realities of Hong Kong
我亦認為真正的法治和公義應該是犯錯便要懲罰，違法便要追究。
I also consider that true rule of law and justice should mean that mistakes are punished for and liability is pursued for violation of the law
如果有人刻意濫用國歌，甚至侮辱國歌，這樣他便應該承擔自己行為造成的後果。
If people deliberately abuse the national anthem or even insult the national anthem they should bear the consequences of their own actions
最後，我也想談談涉及國歌納入中小學校教育的條文和修正案。
Lastly I also wish to discuss the clause relating to the inclusion of the national anthem in primary and secondary education and the amendments thereto
代理主席，我十分贊同《條例草案》第4部第9條訂明將國歌納入中小學校教育。
Deputy Chairman I very much agree with clause 9 in Part 4 of the Bill which provides for the inclusion of the national anthem in primary and secondary education
梁啟超曾經說過"少年智則國智，少年強則國強"。
LIANG Qichao once said If the young are intelligent the country will be intelligent; if the young are strong the country will be strong
青少年是社會的未來，教育青少年從小尊重國家、尊重國歌，這是教育之本。
Young people are the future of society . Educating young people to respect the country and the national anthem from an early age is the bedrock of education
畢竟一個連自己國家也不尊重的人，即使他的學術水準再高，事業成就再好，也不配得到別人的尊重。
After all people who do not even respect their own country however remarkable their academic levels and career achievements are do not deserve others respect
而且，從香港的實際情形來看，將國歌納入中小學校教育是必不可少的。
Moreover judging by the actual situations in Hong Kong the inclusion of the national anthem in primary and secondary education is a must
我暫且勿論近年香港部分青少年越趨偏激，動不動以侮辱國家為樂。
I will put aside the fact that in recent years some young people in Hong Kong have become increasingly radical and found joy in insulting the country
單是在《條例草案》的聽證會上，有不少青年人甚至是中學生的觀點足以令人感到震驚和憂慮。
In the public hearings of the Bill alone many young people or even secondary students held viewpoints that caused alarm and concerns
例如，有些中學生說《條例草案》強迫人愛國，亦有中學生說他們有不愛國的自由和權利。
For example some secondary students said the Bill forces people to be patriotic and some said they have the freedom and right to not be patriotic
年輕學生的這些荒謬言論，一方面反映他們對就國歌立法的曲解，另一方面證明將國歌納入中小學教育是必須的。
Such preposterous remarks of young students not only reflect their misconception of the legislation on the national anthem but also prove that it is necessary to include the national anthem in primary and secondary education
我認為尊重國歌應從教育開始，我更希望《條例草案》將國歌納入中小學教育後，不但能令中小學學生懂得尊重國歌，更能培養學生的愛國情懷。
I consider that cultivation of respect for the national anthem should begin with education . I further hope that after the national anthem is included in primary and secondary education not only will primary and secondary students learn to respect the national anthem but their patriotic sentiments will also be nurtured
對於有修正案要求教育學生國歌作詞人及作曲人的生平及死因，我認為這不但是畫蛇添足、多此一舉，更是借題發揮、作政治"抽水"。
As regards the amendment requiring that students be educated on the biography and cause of death of the lyricist and the composer of the national anthem I consider it not only superfluous and redundant but also a move to make an issue to play a political piggyback
我記得，在法案委員會審議期間，反對派再三要求當局不得干預學校教育國歌的事宜。
I remember that during the scrutiny by the Bills Committee the opposition camp over and again requested the authorities not to interfere with the matters of national anthem education in schools
沒想到言猶在耳，反對派提出的修正案，竟要求《條例草案》訂明學校須教育學生國歌作詞人及作曲人的生平及死因。
While such words are still ringing in our ears the opposition camp has proposed an amendment to the Bill to require that the biography and cause of death of the lyricist and the composer of the national anthem be educated in schools
我無意猜測議員此舉的動機，但我認為這種"今天的我打倒昨天的我"的行為十分可笑。
I have no intention to speculate on the motives behind the Member making such a move but I consider such backtracking behaviour very laughable
提到國歌的作詞人和作曲人，我亦留意到恢復二讀辯論時，不少反對派議員均慷慨激昂地批評中國的文化大革命，聲色並茂地講述國歌作詞人田漢的不幸遭遇。
On the subject of the lyricist and the composer of the national anthem I also notice that during the Second Reading debate many Members of the opposition camp had vehemently criticized the Cultural Revolution in China and given a vivid and sensational account of the ordeal of TIAN Han the lyricist of the national anthem
似乎在華夏5,000年的文化中，他們只懂得文革這件事。
It seems that in the entire culture of China that spans 5 000 years all they know is only the Cultural Revolution
我實在想不明白，文革與國歌有何直接關係？
Does the Cultural Revolution have anything directly to do with the national anthem? . I had no idea at all
難道因為文革、因為田漢的不幸經歷，我們便可以侮辱國歌、踐踏國歌及國家的尊嚴嗎？
Does it mean that because of the Cultural Revolution and the ordeal of TIAN Han we can insult the national anthem and trample on the dignity of the national anthem and the country?
這顯然是毫無道理的。
It is obviously beyond any reason
因此，我堅決反對這項修正案，我更希望反對派能以宏觀及客觀的態度來對待國家的發展，別再着眼於國家某些方面的不足，而全面否定國家，甚至仇視和攻擊自己的國家。
Therefore I steadfastly oppose this amendment . And I all the more hope that the opposition camp can look at the development of the country from a broad and objective perspective and refrain from focussing on the inadequacies of the country in certain respects and categorically denying our country and even harbouring hatred for and attacking our own country
代理主席，在《條例草案》的審議過程中，最令我遺憾的是反對派一直不遺餘力地妖魔化《條例草案》，甚至稱之為惡法。
Deputy Chairman in the course of scrutinizing the Bill what I found the most regretful was that the opposition camp had spared no effort to demonize the Bill and even refer to it as an evil law
我費盡心思亦想不清楚、想不明白，為何在反對派眼中，黑衣暴徒堵路、掟磚、縱火、打砸、暴力"私了"、火燒活人、用磚頭"掟"死人等，通通不算 是惡行，反而我們訂立一項旨在尊重自己國家國歌的條例，卻是一項惡法。
I have tried so hard but still failed to figure out and understand why in the eyes of the opposition camp those black - clad rioters who blockaded roads hurled bricks committed arson carried out assaults and vandalism perpetrated violent vigilante attacks set a living person on fire killed a person by hurling bricks at him etc have not committed any deeds which are considered as evil . However when we seek to enact an ordinance that promotes respect for the national anthem of our own country it would be an evil law
這一點，我想請反對派議員清楚直接向市民解釋。
I wish to ask Members of the opposition camp to clearly and directly explain this notion to the people
我們無法叫醒一個假裝睡着的人，所以我不想多花唇舌批評反對派。
We cannot wake up someone who pretends to be asleep so I do not want to waste my breath to criticize the opposition camp
但我由衷地希望反對派明白，不管政見如何、不管英文說得比中文流利、不管嫁給甚麼外國人，或者將來移民到甚麼國家，他們永遠無法改變自己是中國人的事實，他們的祖國就是中國。
But I sincerely hope that the opposition camp would understand regardless of their political views whether they speak English more fluently than Chinese whoever foreigners they married or to which countries they will emigrate in the future they will never be able to change the fact that they are Chinese and their Motherland is China
