他們所謂的真相，必須符合其政治利益，最明顯的例子莫過於"八一一"中一名女子在尖沙咀"爆眼"的事件，我們亦十分關心該名傷者的情況。
To them what is to be called the truth must conform to their political interests . The most obvious example is the case of a woman who got shot in the eye in Tsim Sha Tsui in the 11 August incident . We are also very concerned about the situation of the injured person
然而，反對派和該名傷者一直拒絕配合警方調查，究竟是誰令她的眼睛受傷？
However the opposition camp and the injured person have all along refused to assist in police investigation . Who has actually caused her eye injury?
反對派一口咬定是警方造成，但亦有可能是被其他示威者弄傷，或者純屬意外。
The opposition camp has asserted that it was caused by the Police but she might also get hurt by other protesters or simply by accident
然而，暴徒並沒有放過學校，繼續毀壞校內所有設施。
However the rioters have not spared the school as they continued to vandalize all facilities on campus
他們根本未審先判，預設答案，旨在鼓動反政府的民粹。
They have reached the verdict and predetermined the answer even before the trial begins with a view to instigating anti - government populism
在過去兩天的辯論中，反對派議員只問立場，不問事實，根本不可能找到所謂的真相，只是提供一個平台讓這班立場先行的政客繼續無耻地抹黑警隊。
During the debate in the past two days opposition Members were only concerned about political stance but not the facts . It was thus impossible for them to identify what they claimed to be the truth . The debate has simply provided a platform for those Members who have been led by political stance to shamelessly smear the Police Force
在這種情況下，他們非要"鬥垮"、"鬥臭"警察及"鬥臭"政府不可。
Under such circumstance they will never stop until they successfully disband and discredit the Police and discredit the Government
我們不知道反對派議員乘坐甚麼機位，用甚麼人的錢前往華盛頓，與美國的副總統或國務卿等官員討論香港的《條例草案》，還邀請別人制裁香港。
We wonder which airline opposition Members took and whose money they used when they flew to Washington DC to discuss the Bill of Hong Kong with officials such as the Vice President and the Secretary of State of the United States and even invited others to impose sanctions on Hong Kong
林林總總的事情在"六一二"事件之前已經發生，為何反對派議員只抽取"六一二"事件、"七二一"事件或"八三一"事件出來調查，好像只發生了那數件事，但對於全貌卻置諸不理？
All sorts of things happened long before the 12 June incident but why do opposition Members only choose to inquire into the 12 June incident the 21 July incident or the 31 August incident as if only such incidents took place while being indifferent to the whole picture?
我認同當事件稍為塵埃落定時，必須查找事件的來龍去脈。
I agree that when things have somehow settled we must inquire into the causes and consequences of all incidents
他們說風花雪月的見面沒有意思，但卻願意乘坐飛機去美國東岸、西岸以至歐洲。
They said that it was meaningless to hold meeting that engaged in inconsequential chats; yet they were willing to fly to the East Coast and West Coast of the United States and Europe
主席，調查一定要做，但我已在議會告訴大家，這是一場"顏色革命"，而反《逃犯條例》修訂，以及其後煽情的"反送中"只是一個藉口。
President an inquiry must be conducted but as I have already told Members in the Council this is a colour revolution and opposition to amending the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance and the consequent inflammatory anti - extradition to China are only a pretext
反對派議員在眾多暴力事件中，就好像"黃媒"一樣，鏡頭只對着奉公守法、嚴正執法的警員，說他們這樣做不對。
Regarding the numerous violent incidents opposition Members have acted like yellow media organizations focusing only on law - abiding police officers who have taken stern law enforcement actions and accusing them of acting wrongly
我會讚揚他們在文宣方面確是一流，但卻用錯方向，針對的人亦錯了。
I appreciate their first - class publicity effort but they have directed their effort to the wrong direction and have targeted at the wrong person
道理越辯越明。
Truth can be ascertained through debate
在政治層面，最煽情的就是批評別人不對。
In terms of politics it is most sensational to criticize others
我現時也批評反對派議員，但我同時撥亂反正，在議會裏破格而求變。
I am also now criticizing opposition Members but at the same time I am righting the wrongs and seeking changes through unconventional means in the Council
毛孟靜議員在記者招待會上拍桌表示，絕對不會與這些暴徒割席，不"篤灰"，不譴責。
At a press conference Ms Claudia MO pounded the table and said that she would not sever ties with rioters would not snitch on rioters and would not condemn them
她作為議員，應知道暴力便是暴力，那怕是警察......
As a Member she should know that violence is violence and even if in the case of police officers Mr SHIU Ka - fai is right in saying that one should not use violence simply because he is a martyr
他當時的立場究竟是執業律師、法庭的朋友，還是接近馬克思或毛澤東，要搞革命呢？
Was this the stance of a practising lawyer a friend of the court or was he like Karl MARX or MAO Zedong intent on staging a revolution?
但是，他所說的話傷害、誤導了市民，包括香港未來的主人翁。
That said his words have hurt and misled members of the public including the future masters of Hong Kong
年輕無敵，想到便做。
Young people are invincible as they are quick to put new ideas into practice
香港少一條人命，我們都要惋惜。
We feel sorry for the loss of any life in Hong Kong
香港回歸已22年，他們在李柱銘年代便振振有詞，今天他們垂垂老矣，手震口震，卻繼續沿用那套說法誤導香港人。
Hong Kong has returned to the Motherland for 22 years . They preached so eloquently in the Martin LEE years and even if they are now old and feeble suffering from shaky hands and stammering they still make the same remarks that mislead Hong Kong people
我們看慣了，請他們甦醒過來，或不要再催眠香港的年輕一族。
We have got used to all this . I would like to urge them to awaken or stop hypnotizing the younger generation of Hong Kong
他們有甚麼權力提出這樣的要求，更不要說決定。
They have no power to make such a demand let alone make a decision
在舉行所謂100萬人大遊行後，在6月16日再舉行200萬加1人的遊行。
After holding the so - called 1 million - strong march they further held a march joined by 2 million plus one people on 16 June
我約兄弟姊妹明天喝茶，他們也未必一定有空，在少於24小時內便可以突然召喚200萬人明天上街遊行嗎？
If I ask my brothers and sisters for a tea gathering the next day they may possibly not be available . How could 2 million people be instantly mobilized to take to the streets in less than 24 hours?
所以，主席，我絕對認同要作全面調查，根本這些人全部都是代理人，我們一定要查清這群人的根底。
As such President I absolutely agree that a comprehensive inquiry must be conducted . Those people are basically all proxies and we must ascertain their detailed background
我謹此陳辭，多謝。
I so submit . Thank you
最後，餘下兩分鐘時間，我希望回到剛才的話題。
Lastly in the remaining two minutes I wish to return to the subject just now
根據新聞報道，6月9日有8人昨天被正式檢控非法集結；6月12日發生亂象是因為政府高層誤判，他們沒有能力管治香港，議會也沒有能力審議法案，而事實上……主席，不要誤會，我說的並不是你個人的問題，我說的是制度上的缺陷，制度本身沒有認受性，以致建派議員他們思考決策時，只想到是否可以進行選舉，就像周浩鼎議員一樣。
According to the news reports eight persons were formally prosecuted yesterday for unlawful assembly on 9 June . Chaos erupted on 12 June owing to the misjudgment by senior government officials . They lack the ability to govern Hong Kong and this Council lacks the ability to scrutinize bills and in fact President do not be mistaken I am not talking about problems related to you personally but about the deficiencies of the system
管治香港不僅是這些人的事，這些人也未必有能力思考、做決策。
As the system lacks recognition when pro - establishment Members like Mr Holden CHOW have to make decisions they only consider whether elections can be held . Governing Hong Kong is not only the business of these people as they may not have the capability to think and make decisions
最後只餘數十秒，我想說，如果大家認定香港已進入一個無法控制的戰爭狀態，請各位支持各類型的支援項目，包括國民支援計劃。
I only have dozens of seconds left and I would like to say that if colleagues believe that Hong Kong has entered an uncontrollable state of war please lend a hand to all kinds of support projects including the Bless Hong Kong Scheme
"老毛"說要認清敵人，正確處理人民內部矛盾。
MAO said it was important to recognize the enemy and handle contradictions among the people correctly
人民內部矛盾竟用警暴解決，連老祖宗也要彈起來罵他們。
The use of police brutality to resolve contradictions among the people would make their forefathers rise from their graves and scold them
原來不止是"黑警"不讀書，保皇黨及反民主派也一樣不讀書。
I found that not only the dirty cops have not studied hard but also Members from the royalist camp and the anti - democracy camp
是誰勾結外國勢力？
Who had colluded with foreign powers?
大家思考一下，香港弄至如斯地步，在經濟方面GDP減少了2%，多達數百億元，樓價下跌、店鋪倒閉、食肆員工失業及反民主派在所有選舉中一敗塗地。
Let us examine why Hong Kong has developed to such a state . On the economic front GDP has dropped by 2 % amounting to tens of billions of dollars . Property prices fell shops closed down restaurant staff lost their jobs and the anti - democracy camp suffered a landslide defeat in various elections
按照"老毛"的角度分析，敵人正是三大罪魁禍首，即林鄭月娥，副局長的上司李家超及"僭建驊"。
Analysing from MAOs perspective there are three major culprits namely Carrie LAM the Under Secretarys supervisor John LEE and Teresa UBWs
在"六一二"事件中，有數以十萬計的市民來到立法會，以他們的血肉之軀抵擋子彈。
In the 12 June incident hundreds of thousands of people came to the Legislative Council and used their bodies to ward off bullets
整個警隊如同一盤散沙，毫無紀律，與民為敵。
The entire Police Force is like a tray of loose sand having no discipline and being hostile to the people
現時最年輕的上街抗爭者只有10多歲，連10多歲的小孩也知道政府不仁不義，使用暴力的警察是"黑警"，怎麼他們還不甦醒過來？
At present the youngest street protester is only 10 years old or so . Even a kid of only 10 years old or so knows that the Government is malevolent and uncaring and police officers using violence are dirty cops . How come those people still have not wakened up?
金鐘的牆壁已清楚寫上：這個世界只有暴政，沒有暴徒。
It is clearly written on the walls of Admiralty There is no rioters only tyranny
大家回想在數月前，今年年初的香港不會找到暴徒，找不到他們口中的暴徒，也找不到戴着口罩出來衝擊的人，因為大部分人，尤其是年輕人， 都在很辛苦的環境下掙扎。
A few months ago ie . before June this year there were no rioters in Hong Kong the so - called rioters were non - existent and there were no masked people storming everywhere . This is because the majority of the people especially young people have been struggling in a very difficult environment
樓價高，政府不理會他們，讀書很困難，學位又不夠。
Property prices are exorbitant but the Government does nothing to help them and they have difficulties in their studies due to limited school places
其實，沒有一件事情可以令他們開心，香港的快樂指數幾乎是全亞洲排名最低的。
There is actually nothing that makes them happy . The ranking of Hong Kong in the Happiness Index is among the lowest in Asia
作為最富裕的城市，政府卻搞到如斯田地，它應該撫心自問如何解決當前問題。
Hong Kong is the most effluent city but the Government has nonetheless reduced it to this state . It should therefore ask itself candidly how the current problem can be resolved
要認清楚，不要騎牆，如果支持民主及反對警暴便要堅定，這樣才有骨氣，可以站得住。
We should recognize the enemy and should not sit on the fence . By providing unwavering support to democracy and oppose police brutality you can show your integrity and hold your head up
田北辰議員，還有時間，建制派也不是全部都"無得救"。
Mr Michael TIEN there is still time and not the entire pro - establishment camp is hopeless
老實說，"六一二"事件是最大的轉捩點。
To be honest the 12 June incident was the greatest turning point
大家都知道，尹兆堅議員及我們的議案應該早在7月3日的立法會會議便進行討論，因為6月已經提出。
As we all know the motions proposed by Mr Andrew WAN and other Members including me should be discussed at the Legislative Council meeting held as early as 3 July given that such motions were put forward in June
不過，大家也明白，在"六一二"及"七一"後，社會撕裂及政府完全不回應，所以我們無法在7月討論。
However we understand that after the 12 June and 1 July incidents the community has been torn apart and the Government has become unresponsive thus no discussion could be held in July
然而，至今已發生了很多事情，政府及反民主派仍然繼續堅持"撐"整件事，這便是與民為敵，與大多數香港人為敵。
Although a lot of things have happened so far the Government and the anti - democracy camp still render their unwavering support . This is tantamount to antagonizing the people and being hostile to the majority of Hong Kong people
如果當初不是他們要強行在法案委員會或立法會大會通過有關的法案，讓政府有恃無恐，以為可以強行通過，又怎會弄至今時今日的田地？
If they had not sought to force the relevant bill through the Bills Committee or the Legislative Council in the first place and made the Government feel so secured that the bill could be forcibly passed the current situation would not have come to this pass
他們應該要扣頭謝罪，或最低限度在這裏投票支持成立專責委員會，甚至走出街說要展開獨立調查。
They should apologize or at least vote in support of the establishment of a select committee or even go to the streets to call for an independent inquiry
有人問香港現時的情況何時會完結？
Some people asked when the current situation in Hong Kong will end
可是，保皇黨及建制派完全聽不到，所以他們必須負上最大責任，是他們令政府行這步棋，令香港弄至這個田地。
Yet the royalist party and the pro - establishment camp have turned a deaf ear to this . Hence they should bear the greatest responsibility as they had prompted the Government to make that move and reduced Hong Kong to this state
可是，他們最終要負上責任，因為造成香港今日的局面，"林鄭"、李家超、建制派及保皇黨皆難辭其咎。
And yet they should be held responsible at the end of the day . Carrie LAM John LEE the pro - establishment camp and the royalist party are culpable for reducing Hong Kong to the present state
其實，特區政府過去一直都是這樣做，無論是"六一二"事件，又或是2014年的雨傘運動，政府都把所有問題掃入地氈底。
In fact the SAR Government has all along swept all problems under the carpet be it the 12 June incident or the Umbrella Movement in 2014
如果沒有"六一二"事件，我相信今天香港社會對警察的觀感會非常不一樣，因為當天發生的種種事情，是大家都無法想象會在香港出現的。
If the 12 June incident had not happened Hong Kong society today would have a very different view on the Police as we simply could not imagine that things that happened on that day could have ever happened in Hong Kong
究竟"六一二"發生了甚麼事呢？
What exactly happened on 12 June?
特別是立法會內發生了甚麼事呢？
Specifically what happened inside the Legislative Council Complex ?
始作俑者會否不是警察，而是主席呢？
Could the President not the Police be the culprit behind the trouble?
建制派是否因為要保皇、要支持林鄭月娥政府、要"送中"，所以要警察開路，強攻入立法會？
Did the pro - establishment camp ask the Police to clear the traffic so that they could force their way into the Complex to defend the Government to support the Carrie LAM Administration and the China extradition bill?
陸議員是時序出了問題，還是腦袋有了問題呢？
Is there something wrong with Mr LUKs sequence of events or is there something wrong with his brain?
添美道當時被封鎖了，警察正不停發射催淚彈，人們不入中信大廈可以去哪裏呢？
Tim Mei Avenue was blockaded and the Police were firing tear gas canisters incessantly . Where else could the people go if they did not go into CITIC Tower?
他對基本事實及當時的情況完全不清楚便發言。
He spoke without having a clear idea of the basic facts and the situation at that time
我們的議會裏有人不懂得檢討，還膽敢說他們的票數加起來比自由黨多。
Some people in this Council did not know how to conduct a review and even dared say that the total number of votes they got was more than that received by the Liberal Party
她怎麼好意思說這句話呢？
How could she have the nerve to say that?
他們說那些國際專家不熟悉香港事務。
They said the foreign experts were not familiar with affairs in Hong Kong
為何之前有，今天沒有呢？
How come there was space in the past but not now?
1年前有存款，1年後已經花光嗎？
Is it comparable to money deposited in bank that money deposited one year ago was all gone one year later?
還是那張編號是貼紙呢？每次洗衣服的時候便會洗爛嗎？
Was the identification number printed on stickers that get destroyed in the wash every time?
現在，警察還怕大家聽不到這些歪理，每天下午4時也要再說一次謊言，扭曲整個制度、扭曲市民的認知，這是在侮辱市民。
Fearing that we have not heard enough of their false reasoning the Police are repeating their lies at 4col00 pm every day . They have twisted the entire system and distorted peoples understanding . This is an insult to the people
主席，剛才聽了建制派保皇黨議員的發言，尤其是周浩鼎議員的發言，我覺得必須在這裏作一些回應。
President having heard the speeches of the pro - establishment royalist Members especially Mr Holden CHOW I think I must make a response
主席，6月12日當天我也在立法會大樓，亦有去過添華道，所以很清楚當天發生的事件。
President on the day of 12 June I was in the Complex and I also went to Tim Wa Avenue . Hence I am well aware of what happened that day
我剛才聽到建制派議員的發言，他們好像時空錯亂般，將過去6個多月發生的事情全部算入"六一二"事件的範圍。
After hearing the speeches of the pro - establishment Members I found that they seemed to get the time and space wrong as they accounted all incidents that happened over the past more than six months to the 12 June incident
在6月9日有103萬市民上街，反對將該條例草案直接提交上立法會大會準備通過。
On 9 June 1.03 million people took to the streets to protest against the bill being directly submitted to the Legislative Council for passage
大家都清楚記得為甚麼這條例草案會繞過法案委員會直上大會，這是主席你都有份作的決定。
We all remember why the bill could bypass the Bills Committee and be submitted to the Legislative Council directly . President you were involved in making the decision
市民看到這個形勢，在6月9日有103萬人上街。
Members of the public were aware that 1.03 million people took to the streets on 9 June
其實全世界無論哪個城市，如果有100萬人上街，當地政府都要立即下台，重組政府。
In any cities in the world if 1 million people take to the streets in protest the local government would step down immediately to form a new government
建制派議員和特區政府看到103萬人和平上街表達反對這條例草案的意見，為何仍堅持在6月12日立法會大會上繼續就這條例草案進行審議及表決？
Given that 1.03 million people took to the streets peacefully in opposition to the bill how could the pro - establishment camp and SAR Government insist on scrutinizing and voting on the bill on 12 June at the Legislative Council meeting?
為甚麼政府和保皇黨會漠視民意到這個地步？視103萬人的和平示威如無物。
How could the Government and the royalists disregard public views to such an extent completely ignoring the peaceful protest of 1.03 million people?
當天有沒有出現周浩鼎議員剛才所說，有人擲磚、火燒人、擲磚殺人或擲汽油彈呢？
Did incidents described by Mr Holden CHOW such as hurling bricks setting fire on others killing others by hurling bricks or hurling petrol bombs happened that day?
一個汽油彈都沒有，有的是無數的催淚彈。
No petrol bombs had been hurled yet countless tear gas canisters were fired
但在"煲底"外面，全部都是和平示威的群眾，他們有甚麼武器？
But outside that Drum area people were protesting peacefully . What weapon did they have?
沒有人手持武器。
They had no weapon except umbrellas the so - called weapon as defined by pro - establishment Members
當警察噴胡椒水、射催淚彈時，用來保護自己的工具。
At most it could only be a tool to protect oneself from pepper spray and tear gas rounds fired by the Police
我們看到有很多市民，我們去到他們認為需要我們幫手調解處理的地方，在添華道。
We saw many people outside and we went to Tim Wa Avenue the place where some clashes broke out and mediation was needed
到達時我們看到示威者和警方較早前發生過一些衝突，但不見示威者有任何武器，他們只是用雨傘作遮擋。
When we arrived we learned that the protesters had some clashes with the Police earlier but we did not find the protesters holding any weapons . All they had were umbrellas to shield themselves
當我和尹兆堅議員及林卓廷議員抵達現場時，我們本身甚麼裝備都沒有。
When Mr Andrew WAN Mr LAM Cheuk - ting and I arrived at the scene we did not have any protective gear
我在5月中曾做過眼部手術，到6月12日，還未足1個月。
I had an eye surgery in mid - May what was not even a month before 12 June
我們希望有一個和平示威的場面，不希望出現警民衝突，更不希望有任何人受傷。
We hoped that the protest could be held peacefully we did not wish to see any clashes between the people and the Police or anyone getting hurt
我們說我們是立法會議員黃碧雲、尹兆堅及林卓廷，手上並無武器。
When we said we were Legislative Council Members Helena WONG Andrew WAN and LAM Cheuk - ting we were unarmed
如果我們衝擊、辱罵警察或以雨傘襲擊警察，我們可能抵打、抵噴，但我們沒有。
If we charged police officers hurled abuses at them or attacked them with umbrellas we might deserve to be beaten or sprayed at but we did nothing of that sort
所以，建制派議員不要胡亂冤枉人，那天更沒有任何一名示威者投擲汽油彈。
Hence the pro - establishment Members should stop making false accusations . No protesters hurled petrol bombs that day
究竟我們議員做錯了甚麼？
What had we Members done wrong?
究竟大樓門匙是在警察手上，還是行管會或秘書處員工手上？
Were the keys of the Complex kept in the hands of the Police LCC or staff of the Secretariat?
為何議員要求進入時不開門？
How come Members were denied entry to the Complex?
6月12日在添美道及添華道發生的事件需要深入調查。
We must inquire into what exactly happened at Tim Mei Avenue and Tim Wa Avenue on 12 June
警方當日的策略，究竟是否想驅散群眾，還是包圍群眾，然後抓捕他們？
What was the Polices strategy to disperse the crowds or to round them up and arrest them?
和平示威是《基本法》賦予我們的公民和政治權利，是人權，為何這類和平示威活動會得到警方如此不合理的對待？
Under the Basic Law we are endowed with the right to participate in peaceful protests . This is our civil and political right and also our human right . Why were such peaceful protests being unreasonably handled by the Police?
這些我們都需要追究和調查，究竟當日是誰發出這些指令。
We must find out who gave those orders that day and hold them accountable
當日民主黨主席胡志偉議員亦在添美道現場，他見到警方這樣亂投催淚彈，覺得很不合理，要求與指揮官見面，指揮官雖然在場，但拒絕見他，因為他們認為警方的做法正確，故此拒絕溝通對話，無論我們走到添華道挑戰他們噴射胡椒水或走到添美道挑戰他們投擲催淚彈，我們得到的結果都是拒絕回應。
Seeing the indiscriminate firing of tear gas canisters by the Police he demanded to meet the Police commander on scene . The commander on scene refused to meet Mr WU because he thought that the Police had acted appropriately and thus refused to have any communication or dialogue . Whether we challenged the Police for pepper spraying people at Tim Wa Avenue or for firing tear gas canisters at Tim Mei Avenue the Police refused to respond
主席，建制派及保皇黨議員的質疑完全不合理，是混淆時空，而最大的問題是，他們把整件事歸咎於民主派縱容暴力，拒絕跟暴力切割，但他們沒有反省整件事背後，是他們支持這項"送中條例"及縱容警暴所致。
President the queries raised by the pro - establishment or royalist Members are totally unreasonable . They confused the time and space . The biggest problem was that they laid the blame of the whole incident on the democratic Members connivance of violence and refusal to sever ties with violence
當我們要求成立獨立調查委員會，調查清楚責任誰負或發生了甚麼事，保皇黨卻仍然支持政府和警察，拒絕成立獨立調查委員會，只肯搞個甚麼檢討委員會，根本不對焦。
Yet they have never reflected on the fact that the whole incident was attributed to their support for the China extradition bill and their connivance of police brutality . When we demand the establishment of an independent commission of inquiry to find out who should be held responsible or what had happened the royalists insist on supporting the Government and the Police and refuse to set up an independent commission of inquiry . They only consent to setting up a so - called review committee which is totally off focus
所以，今天的亂局，是政府及保皇黨一手促成。
Hence the Government and the royalists are culprits of todays chaos
我們要求全面調查事件。
We demand a thorough investigation into the incident
主席，根據立法會會議最新議程，圍繞反修例風波所衍生的各種事件及問題，本會議員同事先後提出合共17項議案。
President according to the latest Agenda of the meeting of the Legislative Council Members of this Council have proposed a total of 17 motions regarding various incidents and issues resulting from the disturbances arising from the opposition to the proposed legislative amendments
為了善用議會時間及避免議論重複，主席閣下決定按照這些議案的內容分類，劃分為5項合併辯論，做法合情合理。
In order to make effective use of the Councils time and avoid repetition of arguments you have decided to categorize these motions based on their contents to conduct five joint debates . I think such an approach is sensible and reasonable
首項合併辯論是討論尹兆堅議員等提出的3項議員議案，內容都是關乎6月12日立法會外發生的示威事件。
The first joint debate will deal with the three motions proposed by Members including Mr Andrew WAN which relate to the incident regarding the protest outside the Legislative Council Complex on 12 June
就《逃犯條例》修訂爭議引發的社會動亂持續至今，令人非常遺憾及憂心，我相信希望香港社會穩定和諧的市民，無論他們支持或反對《逃犯條例》修訂，都不願意見到這情況。
The social unrest arising from the controversy over the legislative proposal to amend the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance has made people very sad and worried . The unrest is still continuing . I believe that members of the public who aspire to stability and harmony in Hong Kong be they support or oppose the proposed legislative amendments would not like to see such a situation
特區政府自開展修訂《逃犯條例》的工作以來，以至在處理反修例風波的過程中，確實有不少失誤，需要檢討。
Since the SAR Government commenced its work to amend the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance and in the process of handling disturbances arising from the opposition to the proposed legislative amendments it has indeed made a number of mistakes which have to be reviewed
值得關注的是，由於社會的各種複雜原因，特別是各種各樣、鋪天蓋地對修例嚴重歪曲的負面宣傳，引發各方激烈爭議，造成社會撕裂。
It is worth noting that owing to various complex factors in society particularly different kinds of extensively disseminated negative propaganda containing seriously distorted messages heated controversies have been aroused and society has been torn apart
隨着社會事態發展，更導致暴力泛濫，暴力程度亦不斷升級。
The development of the social situation has also caused a spread of violence in escalating degrees
反對派議員一再指責警方在6月份的多番示威活動中，採用過分武力鎮壓和平集會。
Opposition Members have repeatedly accused the Police of using excessive force to suppress peaceful assemblies in many protests in June
香港是法治之都，本人和經民聯都尊重香港市民和平集會，理性表達意見的自由及權利。
Hong Kong is a city which upholds the rule of law the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong and I respect the freedom and right of Hong Kong people to participate in peaceful assembly and express their views rationally
但是，金鐘一帶已經被圍堵，我無法返回大樓，大部分議員亦都無法返回大樓，我唯有指示秘書通知委員，當天的工務小組委員會會議需要取消。
However roads in the vicinity of Admiralty were blocked and I could not go inside the Complex . As the majority of members of PWSC faced the same problem I had no other choice but to instruct the clerk to inform PWSC members that the meeting would be cancelled that day
其後，示威活動出現暴力場面，事件越演越烈，除了令立法會會議被迫取消，亦令金鐘一帶滿目瘡痍。
Later the protest became increasingly violent resulting in the cancellation of the Legislative Council meeting and causing extensive devastation in areas around Admiralty
我們從電視畫面清楚看到，當天有大批蒙面示威者以各種雜物、磚塊、鐵馬等堵塞道路，以暴力衝擊警方防線，衝擊立法會，甚至用磚頭、鐵通等襲擊警務人員，令警方不能不以武力抵禦，以保護立法會。
We clearly saw on television that a large group of masked protesters blocked the roads with miscellaneous objects bricks mills barriers etc and violently charged the police cordon lines and the Complex . They even attacked police officers with bricks and metal rods . Thus the Police had no other choice but to use force in defence to protect the Complex
