主席，你運氣不好，到你接手......
Chairman you are out of luck . When you took over
你的污點是甚麼呢？
What is your blemish?
上星期三，有11位議員已經按下"要求發言"按鈕，準備就二讀發言，而他們是從未發言......
Last Wednesday 11 Members already pressed the Request to speak button ready to speak on the Second Reading and they had never spoken
你經常說主席的裁決不容挑戰，這沒有錯，但這裏也有規矩。
You often say that the rulings of the President are not subject to challenge . That is right but there are rules in place here
主席，我的發言完全沒有離題，因為我正在總結整個審議過程究竟是否一項具說服力及公義的程序。
Chairman I have not digressed from the subject at all because I am concluding whether the whole process of scrutiny is convincing with procedural justice upheld
主席，容許委員違規發言，本身便是未有執行《議事規則》。
Chairman allowing Members to speak in violation of the rules is in itself a failure to enforce RoP
你在歷史上的污點就是你無法說服議員，認為你所作的決定是公正和公平的。
The blemish you have left in the history is your failure to convince Members that your decisions are impartial and fair
你在議會內硬來，使用強權鎮壓。
You have forced things through with a high - handed approach in the Council
主席，我的發言稿原本寫了很多說話，一開始要批評你閣下主持會議是如何專橫，如何剝奪了議員的發言權利，不過，意義是否很大呢？
President I have written a lot in my original speech to criticize in the first place how imperious you are when presiding over the meetings and how you have deprived Members of their right to speak . But is it very meaningful to criticize you now?
主席，我在議會20多年，我可以告訴大家，我這次發言心情很沉重，我希望我的天父能夠保守我把觀點清楚說出。
President I have been a legislator for over 20 years and I can tell you that at this moment I am speaking with a very heavy heart . I hope that God can guard my mind so that I can spell out my viewpoints
因為以往的其他議題，例如政改拉倒了或就《基本法》第二十三條立法等，對比我們現時討論的《廣深港高鐵條例草案》的通過，對"一國兩制"、香港或國家的傷害，是無法比擬的。
Because the damage to one country two systems Hong Kong or the country caused by other cases in the past such as the falling through of the constitutional reform or the legislation on Article 23 of the Basic Law cannot be compared with the damage caused by the passage of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link Co - location Bill the Bill now under our discussion
主席，我只是希望我能夠說清楚以下的論據，或者懷着赤子之心，期望全能的上帝能夠改變歷史，或者將來讓最高的領導人經過深思熟慮下，作出撥亂反正的決定和修補。
President I only hope that I can spell out the following arguments or with pure sentiments I remain hopeful that the Almighty God can change history or the highest leaders can after careful consideration rectify the situation with their decisions and remedial measures in the future
我認識到全國人大制定《基本法》，而這次人大常委會作出決定，根據特區政府所說，這不是釋法。
I learn that the Basic Law was drawn up by NPC and this decision made by NPCSC according to the Government of the Special Administrative Region SAR is not an interpretation of the law
全國人大可以釋法，因為根據內地的法律，全國人大可以解釋其制定的法律，包括《基本法》。
NPC can interpret a law because according to the Mainland laws NPC can interpret the laws made by it including the Basic Law
但是，我相信政府一定問過內地的專家或內地最權威的指示，才作出宣示，即人大常委會這次有關"一地兩檢"的協議、安排等決定，並非釋法；而人大常委會只能釋法，不能修改法律。
But I believe the Government must have consulted the Mainland experts or the highest authorities in the Mainland before making an announcement that the decision made by NPCSC on the co - location agreement and arrangement is not an interpretation of the law and that NPCSC can only interpret but not amend the law
全國人大制定的《基本法》，訂明香港不能實施內地法律。
It is stipulated in the Basic Law formulated by NPC that Mainland laws are not applicable to Hong Kong
究竟人大常委會同意的協議、安排的這項決定，會否違反全國人大制定的《基本法》當中訂明不能在香港實施內地法律的條文呢？
Will the decision on the co - location agreement and arrangement agreed by NPCSC contravene the provisions that Mainland laws are not applicable to Hong Kong under the Basic Law formulated by NPC?
但是，我們人微言輕，即使我們做錯亦只影響香港。
But as insignificant as we are even if we have made any mistakes we will only affect Hong Kong
但是，如果國家的體制容許中央透過指示特區制定這項法律，而又容許香港立法會訂立這項法律，便會衍生出更重要的憲制問題，便是中央是否有些人 我不知道甚麼人可以膽敢指示香港政府，變相將人大常委會的決定凌駕於全國人大制定的法律之上呢？
However if the Central Government is allowed under the national regime to instruct SAR to formulate this law and also allows the Hong Kong Legislative Council to legislate on it this will give rise to a more significant constitutional question ie . certain individuals in the Central Government whom I do not know are bold enough to instruct the Hong Kong Government to the effect that NPCSCs decision shall override the law made by NPC . This will also give rise to another issue
這亦會衍生一點，國家最新掌權的領導人指我們要有一個大方向，便是依法治國。
The new leader in power of the country says that we need to have a major direction and that is governing the country according to law
如果有些人不依法治國，做錯決定，以致我們稍後可能會通過《條例草案》，我只希望最高領導人可以想想這是否依法治國。
If some people are not governing the country according to law and have made a wrong decision such that we may endorse the Bill in later I only hope that the highest leader can consider whether this is governing the country according to law
主席，說得宏觀一些，"一國兩制"的實踐，不僅是為了香港，也是為了令全世界相信中國走向文明，令人相信我們有進步、是正在前進的。
President from a macroscopic point of view the implementation of one country two systems is not only for the sake of Hong Kong but also for making the whole world believe that China is marching towards civilization and that we are making progress and are progressing
當然，鄧小平先生當時透過《基本法》"一國兩制"的實踐，是希望讓台灣同胞能夠在放心的情況下，考慮和平統一的問題。
Of course back at that time Mr DENG Xiaoping hoped that through the implementation of one country two systems under the Basic Law Taiwan compatriots could set their minds at ease and consider the issue of peaceful reunification
主席，因此，我認為如果我們今晚這樣子通過《條例草案》，讓香港的某個地方違反《基本法》而實施內地法例，這種《條例草案》的安排有以下十大惡果。
President therefore I think if we pass the Bill in such way tonight to the effect that Mainland laws are applicable to a certain area in Hong Kong in violation to the Basic Law the implementation of the arrangement under the Bill will lead to the following 10 adverse consequences . After I have made the explanation I could lie in my grave without regret . First this is in violation of the Basic Law formulated by NPC as well as the concept and initial idea of one country two systems
如果我這番說話，能夠令中國有權力的人聽得明白，我已經盡了我作為香港議員關心國家發展的一點責任。
If those in power in China understand my arguments I have already fulfilled my obligation as a legislator in Hong Kong who cares about the development of our country
主席，如果今晚我的上帝接我回天家，我也會含笑離開，因為我已經盡了自己的責任，將在"一國兩制"下實施"一地兩檢"安排的那種惡劣影響說清楚。
President if my Lord takes me back to heaven tonight I will leave with a contented smile as I have already fulfilled my responsibility by clearly explaining the adverse impact of implementing the co - location arrangement under one country two systems
實施"一地兩檢"不單將《基本法》打破一個缺口，亦凸顯剛才所說的一環扣一環的食物鏈，是多麼荒誕。
The implementation of the co - location arrangement will not only open the floodgate of the Basic Law but also highlight how ridiculous the just mentioned interlocking food chain is
我必定會反對實施"一地兩檢"，其中一個原因，就是梁君彥議員作為主席的橫蠻無理。
I will definitely oppose the implementation of the co - location arrangement and one of the reasons is the high - handedness and unreasonableness of Mr Andrew LEUNG as the President
我是在批評你，但亦因為你，導致我更堅決反對"一地兩檢"。
I am criticizing you . It is also because of you that I am more determined to oppose the co - location arrangement
我們說"三權分立"，香港為甚麼可以走到今天這一步？
We talk about separation of powers . How can Hong Kong come to this stage today?
香港能夠成為一個相對安全、繁華，有法治的城市，就是因為我們有獨立的司法制度。
It is attributive to our independent judicial system that Hong Kong can become a relatively safe and prosperous city with the rule of law
立法會有自己的職權，政府要依法施政。
The Legislative Council has its own terms of reference and the Government has to administer Hong Kong according to the law
但是，政府硬推這個概念的時候，卻告訴大家可實現"1小時生活圈"。
When the Government pushed through this concept however it told us that a one hour living sphere could be materialized
但是，我們看一看數據，原來大約只有18%的人會離開廣東省以外，大部分的目的地都是廣東省......
But let us look at the figures . Only about 18 % of travellers will go beyond Guangdong Province and most of the destinations are within Guangdong Province
沒有高鐵，便不會出現"一地兩檢"。
Without XRL there would not be any co - location arrangement
我早前在多次發言中都表示，是有經濟誘因的。
I said in my many speeches delivered earlier that there is an economic incentive
但是，就所謂很多其他誘因，有"一地兩檢"和沒有"一地兩檢"的分別，又是否這麼大呢？
But does the implementation or not of the co - location arrangement make such a great difference in respect of the many other so - called incentives?
我剛才也提到，如果今天這項《條例草案》不獲通過，我們進行"兩地兩檢"安排，或者我們之前說的"一地兩檢"在福田，對於整件事有多大損害呢？
As I just mentioned if this co - location arrangement Bill is not endorsed and we implement the separate - location arrangement or the co - location arrangement in Futian that we proposed earlier how much damage will be done to the whole case?
但是我反對的最終原因就是要維護《基本法》這個大原則。
Anyway my opposition is ultimately based on the major principle of safeguarding the Basic Law
然而，我現在看到的是，無論議會、政府、香港鐵路有限公司均有這種"我說沒有問題就是沒有問題"的態度，任何人提出任何意見也是"阻住地球轉"。
Is it originated from the Council the Government or some other major institutions? . Nonetheless as I have currently observed the Council the Government and the MTR Corporation Limited MTRCL all have the attitude that when I say that it is fine it is fine and that anyone who puts forward any views is standing in the way
正如現時的《條例草案》亦如是，我們提出了很多法律觀點、不同的問題。
As in the present Bill we have voiced many legal points of view and various questions
主席，我必須指出，這不單是議員提出來的，其實是由香港大律師公會提出來的。
President I must point out that all these do not merely come from Members but actually also from the Hong Kong Bar Association
但是，政府沒有這樣做，仍然用一種橫蠻無理的方式硬推"一地兩檢"，而恐怖之處在於部分議員予以配合，令議會失去了監察的作用。
However instead of doing so the Government is still using a barbaric way to bulldoze this co - location arrangement through the legislature . And the terrifying part is certain Members cooperation under which the Council has lost its function of monitoring the Government
本會是否每天都可以完全不依照《議事規則》發言，也不須遵守程序，以後由主席當一言堂呢？
Does it mean that Members of this Council may opt not to speak in accordance with RoP every day and follow the procedure whereas the Chairman has all the say from now on?
我希望主席可以解釋清楚，你究竟行使甚麼權力，而無須跟從《議事規則》呢？
I hope the Chairman can explain clearly the power you have exercised to exempt you from abiding by RoP?
如果你不明白，可以請秘書處向你解釋。
If you do not understand it you may ask the Secretariat to explain it to you
現時大家在議事廳內是為了捱過這36小時，按下按鈕，完成任務便了事，還是仍然有一種精神，便是雖然我不贊同某些人的觀點或角度，又或某些政黨的取態或政府提出的議案，但我也可以透過發言立此存照，亦讓公眾了解為何有人支持或反對。
Presently in this Chamber are Members just waiting for the 36 hours to pass and to press the button to fulfil their obligation? . Will Members still have the spirit that though they may disagree with the opinions or perspectives of certain people as well as the preference of certain political parties or motions proposed by the Government they will rise to speak so that their views will be put on record and the public will understand why the issue is supported or opposed by people?
這其實是程序公義，亦是為何要有《議事規則》，或為何先前有人提出修改《議事規則》。
This is procedural justice . This is the reason for the existence of the Rules of Procedure RoP and the reason for some people proposing to amend RoP some time ago
如果權力可以無限大，無須理會《議事規則》賦予每位議員的權利，我相信這是暴政、專制、專權、專政。
If a person has infinite powers to the extent of ignoring the rights vested in every Member by RoP I believe this is tyranny autocracy monocracy and dictatorship
我不知道香港何時變成這樣，亦不明為何議會變成這樣。
I wonder when Hong Kong has become like this and I do not understand why the legislature has become like this
我非常失望，代理主席，我看見剛才的場面甚至是完全漠視《議事規則》賦予議員的發言權利。
I am extremely disappointed . Deputy Chairman regarding the scene I saw just now I consider it a total disregard for Members right to speak as conferred by RoP
我在議會兩年，看見議員連最基本的一場戲也不願意演，這是赤裸裸地展示出來的，令我真的非常傷感，代理主席，我不明白為何會這樣。
I have been in the legislature for two years . When I see that Members are unwilling to play their primary role in this show which is laid bare in front of us now I feel extremely saddened . Deputy Chairman I really do not understand why we have come to this pass
我記得數天前，前財政司司長曾俊華說以前的議會是淑女和君子辯論的地方，不知何時變成這樣。
I recall that a few days ago the former Financial Secretary said that in the past the legislature was a place where ladies and gentlemen engaged in debates and he did not know when the legislature had changed to the present condition
當然，純粹看一兩個畫面，看見有人吵鬧、起哄，可能便會得出這個定論，但背後有何原因呢？
Certainly if we merely look at one or two scenes where people are quarrelling and making a fuss we may come to this conclusion . Yet what is the reason behind all these?
原因便是出現濫權，不是以理服人，經常說甚麼以法治港，其實我們也是以《議事規則》來管治議會。
The reason is that they are abusing their power rather than convincing others with reasons . They always say that Hong Kong should be ruled by law and now we are ruling the legislature by RoP
這法案是一定會通過的，劇本已經寫在牆壁上，36小時後便按下按鈕，雖然是這樣，但是否沒有一道活口呢？
The Bill will definitely be passed . The script is on the wall and they will press the button 36 hours later . Despite that is there any exit?
便是對於這種方法和安排，我想透過修正案訂明只可以在今次適用，但他們反對，反對的原因是甚麼呢？
I am saying that regarding the present approach and arrangement I wish to restrict their application to this time only via my amendment . However they oppose it . Why?
他們反對的原因是不是他們真的覺得這方案很好，正如"林鄭"當天說"一地兩檢"的安排是大好事，因而沒有必要承諾下不為例？
Do they oppose my amendment because they truly think that the proposal is very good just as Carrie LAM said the other day that the co - location arrangement was a great thing so they consider a promise for not doing it again unnecessary?
在2016年1月8日，律政司、運輸及房屋局和路政署呈交立法會的文件指出，由於高鐵香港段西九龍總站位處九龍半島，當然是位於香港行政區的地理範圍內。
In the paper submitted by the Department of Justice the Transport and Housing Bureau and the Highways Department to the Legislative Council on 8 January 2016 it is pointed out that since the West Kowloon Terminus of the Hong Kong Section of XRL is situated in the Kowloon Peninsula it is certainly within the geographical area of SAR
但是，根據《合作安排》，在中方的眼中，那個地方已被視為處於內地，而《廣深港高鐵條例草案》也訂明，內地口岸區的範圍視為處於香港以外，並處於內地以內。
However according to the Co - operation Arrangement in the eyes of the Mainland authorities that area has already been regarded as an area situated in the Mainland . Moreover it is stipulated under the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link Co - location Bill the Bill that MPA is to be regarded as an area outside Hong Kong but lying within the Mainland
再者，過去大家花了不少時間在議事廳內討論前律政司司長的建議，他指出應該透過《基本法》第二十條，由中央人民政府授予權力，令這個地方可交付予中方實行"一地兩檢"。
Moreover Members had spent quite some in this Chamber to discuss the proposal of the former Secretary for Justice in the past . He pointed out that the arrangement should be made according to Article 20 of the Basic Law to obtain authorization from the Central Peoples Government so that the area concerned may be handed over to the Mainland authorities for implementation of the co - location arrangement . When this discussion was conducted in this Chamber back then Secretary Frank CHAN was here too
代理主席，高速鐵路很先進嗎？
Deputy Chairman is high - speed railway a very advanced technology?
因為不屬於香港特區自治範圍的全國性法律，是可以透過《基本法》第十三條納入附件三，不能斷言違反《基本法》，破壞"一國兩制"。
For national laws outside the limits of autonomy of SAR can be included in Annex III according to Article 13 of the Basic Law and the authorities should not overtly contravene the Basic Law and undermine one country two systems
人大常委會的處理方法是在憲制基礎之上，以更高層次、更穩妥的方式來處理問題。
The approach adopted by NPCSC is built on a constitutional foundation and it is addressing the issue from a higher level and with a more secure approach
這令人很擔心，因為只要人大常委會舉行一次會議，便可以更高層次、更穩妥地作出處理，但卻無視《基本法》的規定。
This is worrying for NPCSC needs only convene a meeting to address the issue from a higher level and with a more secure approach simply ignoring the provisions of the Basic Law
是透過立法會制定的，那麼，我們可否說由於法例是由立法會制定，故不需要經過修改法例，只需立法會舉行一次會議，提出來討論，然後便可以判決一個人有罪或無罪呢？
They are enacted by the Legislative Council . Can we then say that since the laws are enacted by the Legislative Council there is no need to amend the laws for the Legislative Council may simply conduct a meeting to discuss the case and rule if a person is guilty or innocent?
因為當中的邏輯是，反正法例也是由立法會審議，立法會便更加有權力可以bypass 法庭，可以直接判案。
The logic is that since the laws are enacted by the Legislative Council it definitely has the power to bypass the Court to rule the case direct
我希望"一地兩檢"終於此，亦希望大家會想想，究竟我們今天在這裏是議事或是捱時間？
I hope that the co - location arrangement will end here . I urge Members to ponder whether we are debating or just trying to pass time
正如香港的立法會所制定的法例，立法會議員是否也須遵守？
Just as in the case of the laws enacted by the Legislative Council should Members not abide by such laws?
難道當立法會作出的決定明顯違反法例時，我們也可以"大晒"般去執行呢？
Is it possible that we can still proceed to execute the Councils decision like that we have supreme authority over everything even when the decision evidently contravenes the laws?
我們早在10年前便已指出"一地兩檢"無法在香港實施，因為有違《基本法》。
We pointed out as early as 10 years ago that implementing the co - location arrangement in Hong Kong would be impossible as it contravened the Basic Law
我們之所以反對"一地兩檢"安排，是為要維護"一國兩制"；我們反對"一地兩檢"，是因為我們認為現時的做法，等同"割地兩檢"。
We oppose the co - location arrangement for the sake of defending one country two systems; we oppose the co - location arrangement because we opine that the implementation of the co - location arrangement would amount to co - location arrangement by ceding the territory of Hong Kong to the Mainland
因為根據國際經驗，即使是"一地兩檢"的模式，任何一方也不會放棄其司法管轄權或刑事管轄權。
It is because according to international experience even when a co - location arrangement model is adopted neither of the places concerned will forego its jurisdiction or criminal jurisdiction over the port area
雖然原則上我們反對《條例草案》，但明知在保皇黨佔大多數議席的情況下，《條例草案》必定會通過，故我提出兩部分的修正案，希望盡量將傷害減低。
Although we oppose the Bill in principle knowing that the Bill will definitely be passed with pro - Government Members dominating the Council I have proposed the two parts of amendments in the hope of minimizing the harm
我們基本的法律基礎將會被《條例草案》破壞，因為它明顯違反《基本法》。
Our legal basis will be undermined by the Bill because it clearly contravenes the Basic Law
《基本法》的精神便是"一國兩制"，保證香港會繼續"港人治港"、"高度自治"，生活方式、法制、金融、社會及各方面的範疇，也會維持原本的方式。
The spirit of the Basic Law is one country two systems which ensures Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy and that our way of life legal system finance society and other aspects will remain unchanged
所以，《基本法》第一條訂明，香港特別行政區是中華人民共和國不可分離的部分；第二條訂明，全國人民代表大會授權香港特別行政區實行"高度自治"，享有行政管理權、立法權、獨立的司法權和終審權；而第十八條亦清楚訂明，全國性法律不能在香港執行。
Therefore Article 1 of the Basic Law stipulates that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is an inalienable part of the Peoples Republic of China; Article 2 stipulates 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; and Article 18 clearly stipulates that national laws shall not be applied in Hong Kong
《基本法》中有很多條文也訂明如何限制中央政府或內地政府在香港的權力，例如香港的行政機關和立法機關由香港永久性居民組成，即"港人治港"，這是奠定香港之所以成為香港的基礎，我們有法律保障繼續享有這種生活方式。
There are many provisions in the Basic Law that limit the powers of the Central Government or Mainland Government in Hong Kong . For instance the executive authorities and legislature of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall be composed of permanent residents of Hong Kong that is Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong . This is the foundation of Hong Kong as it is
原來政府的最高權力機關作出的決定違反法例是沒有問題的，因為它是最高權力機關。
It transpires that it is fine for the decision made by the highest power organ of the Government to contravene the law just because it is the highest power organ
換言之，最高權力機關既然有立法權，便無須根據法例行事。
In other words since the highest power organ has legislative power it does not have to act in accordance with the law
雖然有法例，但不解釋、不修訂而作出明顯違反法例的決定，這即是人治，而非法治。
Making a decision that clearly contravenes the law instead of giving an interpretation or making amendments to it is not giving play to the rule of law but the rule of man
這便是人治和法治的分別。
This is the difference between the rule of man and the rule of law
其後果是以後作出任何決定，可以完全不遵守《基本法》，只要中央政府認為某件事應該做，特區政府當然完全配合，再找保皇黨附和，與內地某個省、市簽訂合作協議，即使合作協議違反《基本法》也沒有問題，最重要是人大說行便行，那豈不是無法無天？
As long as the Central Government finds it necessary the SAR Government will certainly cooperate fully and the pro - Government camp will go along with it . Then a cooperation arrangement will be signed with a certain Mainland province or municipality . There is no problem even if the cooperation arrangement contravenes the Basic Law as long as NPC gives the green light
即《基本法》限制政府行為的效果完全消失，香港人從此立於危牆之下，我們無法估計這個政權何時會作出完全無須守法的決定。
Is it not lawless? . That means the effect of the Basic Law on restricting the Governments actions will vanish . Hong Kong people will be exposed to great risks as we cannot foresee when this regime will make a decision in defiance of the law
今天立法會正是在附和這件事，保皇黨正在附和這件事，支持這件事，大家認為這樣做正確嗎？
The Legislative Council is now going along with this the pro - Government camp is going along with this supporting it . Do everyone think this is right?
不准偷竊指可以偷香口膠，偷指定物品就不算犯法？
No theft but stealing of chewing gums or specified items is not an offence?
政府說要2015年完成興建高鐵，今年是何年？
The Government said the construction of XRL would be completed in 2015 . What year is it now?
我在全體委員會審議階段已經清楚指出，很多人未必有選擇，例如在內地口岸區工作的人。
As I have clearly pointed out at the Committee stage many people such as those who work in MPA may not have the choice
今次最大的分別是內地口岸區設在香港境內，我們在香港受到《基本法》的保障，但這個做法明顯違反《基本法》，將整個司法管轄權割出去。
The major difference this time is that MPA is situated within Hong Kong territory . We are protected by the Basic Law in Hong Kong but this arrangement that cedes the jurisdiction clearly contravenes the Basic Law
如果他們的工作要求他們進入內地口岸區從事維修、清潔或保安工作，他們是沒有選擇的，但卻得不到《基本法》的保障，一旦有事發生，他們便要受內地法律的限制，我不知道香港特區政府會如何保護他們。
If their jobs require them to enter MPA for maintenance cleaning or security duties they have no choice but to stay unprotected under the Basic Law and be subject to Mainland laws in case of an incident . I do not know how the Hong Kong Government will protect them
保皇黨叫我們實事求是，放下偏見，叫我們不要阻着地球轉，我認為他們的偏見才是最大的。
The pro - Government camp asked us to be practical put aside our prejudice and stop getting in the way . I think their prejudice is even stronger
《基本法》清楚訂明，而這項法例明顯違反《基本法》，但他們完全視而不見，只着眼經濟效益、社會效益。
There is clear stipulations in the Basic Law and the Bill is obviously in contravention of the Basic Law but they completely ignored it because their eyes are set only on the economic and social benefits
但是，他們現在甚麼也看不到，只懂得按照主子的說話辦事，人大決定大於一切，《合作安排》大於一切，甚至議員要提出修正案，主席也可以不符合《合作安排》為理由不准提出，完全倒行逆施。
However they only know to act as instructed by their masters and turn a blind eye to everything else . The Decision of NPCSC and the Co - operation Arrangement override all . The President ruled amendments proposed by Members inadmissible on the ground of inconsistency with the Co - operation Arrangement
代理主席，我認為泛民議員提出的修正案不僅毫無根據，而且幼稚可笑。
How can it possibly lack a legal basis? . Deputy Chairman I find the amendments proposed by pan - democratic Members not only groundless but also ludicrously naïve
例如，提出把經制定的條例的生效日期改為該條例於憲報刊登當日後的第300日，或把生效日期改為立法會通過《條例草案》當天後的365天。
They propose for instance to change the commencement date of the enacted Ordinance to the 300 day on which the enacted Ordinance is published in the Gazette or to change the commencement date to the 365 day after the day on which the Bill is passed by the Legislative Council
這類修訂無疑旨在隨意押後《條例草案》的生效日期，根本罔顧高鐵啟用運作的實際需要，也罔顧香港市民的整體利益。
This sort of amendments which undoubtedly seeks to arbitrarily delay the commencement date of the Bill is utterly reckless in disregarding not just the actual commencement and operational needs of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL but also the overall interests of the people of Hong Kong
又例如，提出《條例草案》加入"失效日期"的修正案，我認為這種修訂根本是憑空想象出來的，因為現實中並沒有任何實質理由支持相關失效日期。
Another example is those amendments proposing the addition of an expiry date to the Bill . I consider this sort of amendments the product of pure imagination as there is no substantial ground whatsoever in reality to justify such an expiry date
其實，泛民議員可能沒有弄清楚一個問題，就是《條例草案》以人大常委會的決定為依據，不會抵觸《基本法》。
As a matter of fact the pan - democratic Members have probably failed to get one point straight the Bill is based on the Decision made by NPCSC and thus will not contravene the Basic Law
作為立法者，若假設訂立的法例違憲，卻對其提出修正案，根本說不通，也很荒謬。
It is downright implausible and ridiculous for a lawmaker to assume a piece of legislation in formulation to be unconstitutional but propose amendments to it all the same
