荒謬得過民主黨用猶如"屍殺列車"的短片，宣傳公安日後會在列車中拘捕玩Facebook的人？
Is it more ridiculous than the Democratic Partys publicity of depicting XRL trains as Train to Busan in which public security officers arrest Facebook players on the train?
代理主席，我反對這項議案。
Deputy President I oppose this motion
如果沒有議員想發言，是否有官員想發言？
If no Members wish to speak does any official wish to speak?
民怨一發不可收拾，這是千真萬確的。
It is absolutely true that once public grievances are aroused they can hardly be allayed
請大家注意，民望最低的數位官員，反而穩如泰山。
However please note that the several public officers with the lowest popularity rating have remained steadfast in their positions
現在北京表示在香港有全面管治權。
Beijing has now indicated that it exercises overall jurisdiction over Hong Kong
請問這份預算案有沒有得到中聯辦的欽點、認可和批准？
Has the Budget been blessed endorsed and approved by LOCPG?
這邊廂"陰乾"一個部門，那邊廂養肥另一個部門，完全由老闆決定，保皇"擦鞋仔"只懂按掣。
The decision to sap one department and fatten up another is entirely made by the boss; all the royalist bootlickers have to do is to press the button
稱他們為"橡皮圖章"，只是客氣的說法，他們只懂按下"贊成"按鈕，贊成、贊成、贊成，因為投"反對"或"棄權"的話，他們擔心會被算帳，很害怕，大老闆不可以得罪。
Calling these people rubber stamps is just being polite; for all they know is to press the Yes button all the time . They dare not press the No button or the Abstain button for they are worried that they will be punished . They are very afraid of upsetting the big boss
那個被稱為"經濟文盲"的負責官員也知道可能有問題，於是想出一些方法來對沖。
The responsible officer alleged to be an economic illiterate knew that there might be a problem and so he thought of a way to hedge his bet
然後，他說香港人現在不應"攬炒"，"黃色經濟圈"不可取，扭曲市場，這完全是廢話。
This is certainly an approach to burn together . He then said that Hong Kong people should not burn together and the yellow economic circle was undesirable as it would distort the market . These comments are nothing but bullshit
負責經濟及商務的官員完 全不理解真正的自由經濟是由消費者自行作決定，如此基本的事情也不懂，卻反過來說我們妨礙市場運作、要反抗、要"攬炒"。
The public officer responsible for economic and business affairs totally fails to understand that in a genuine free economy consumers make their own decisions . He fails to understand this basic principle and conversely accuses us of interfering with the operation of the market putting up a fight and burning together
他最擅長是把黑說成白，鹿指為馬。
He is so good at reversing black and white and calling a stag a horse
陳振英議員說香港的信貸評級及經濟地位排名下跌，糟糕了，但他沒有提到的是，我們很大的優勢是國際投資者對香港有信心，其中一大理由便是香港資訊自由流通，我們籠統稱之為新聞自由。
Mr CHAN Chun - ying said that the credit rating and economic ranking of Hong Kong had fallen; that was bad . However he has not mentioned that one of our edges which gain international investors confidence in Hong Kong is the free flow of information in Hong Kong commonly known as press freedom
的確，香港是中國的一部分，但為何那麼多項排名仍然把香港劃分出來，額外評分呢？
Hong Kong is in fact part of China but why is it still separately graded in a number of rankings?
正是因為"一國兩制"，香港有一個特殊的地位，但現在不是了。
That is because under the one country two systems principle Hong Kong has a special status but that is no longer the case
這樣如何對得起香港人？談到民生議題，民主派，尤其是專注福利事務的議員，一直較保皇"擦鞋仔"更真心地關心市民。
How can they live up to the expectations of Hong Kong people? . The democrats particularly Members focusing on welfare issues have all along shown more sincere concern about matters affecting peoples livelihood than the royalist bootlickers
林鄭月娥昨日說，假如立法會讓民主派主導，香港會變成怎樣？
Yesterday Carrie LAM asked what Hong Kong would become if the Legislative Council was dominated by the democrats?
我會告訴她："我們不論在民生或民主方面，也一定會令香港更美好。
This is what I will tell her Hong Kong will definitely become a better place whether in terms of peoples livelihood or democratic development
因疫情的拖累，很多公司和業界的開工率、出勤率或營業時間均大幅減少或有所改變。
Owing to the epidemic the employment rate attendance rate or business operation hours of many companies and industries have been greatly reduced or changed
我關注到第二輪的防疫抗疫基金的"保就業"計劃，是以1月至3月任何一個月的員工工資來計算僱員薪金補貼額，這做法會否令補助力度明顯不足？
My concern is that under ESS in the second round of the Anti - epidemic Fund wage subsidies will be calculated on the basis of the wage of an employee in any one of the months from January to March . Will this approach be apparently insufficient in providing subsidies?
此外，有很多受僱人士是以底薪加佣金的制度來計算收入，疫情發生以來，他們的佣金收入大跌，因此，如果以此來計算，同樣會發生幫助力度不足的問題。
As the income of many employees is calculated on the basis of basic salary plus commission given that their commission has reduced drastically since the onset of the epidemic if the above method is adopted in calculating the wage subsidy the assistance provided will similarly be insufficient
當局動用700億元向全港700萬名年屆18歲的市民派發1萬元，連同其他各項紓困措施，合共涉及約2,900多億元，相當於本地生產總值的10%。
The authorities will use 70 billion to disburse 10,000 to each of the 7 million Hong Kong people aged 18 or above . This initiative together with other relief measures will cost 290 - odd billion amounting to 10 % of our Gross Domestic Product
司長預計，推出巨額的利民紓困措施，加上經濟不利因素影響政府的收入，預計本年度的財政赤字會破天荒高達3,000億元。
The Financial Secretary estimated that with the introduction of the costly relief measures and the reduction in government revenue due to unfavourable economic factors the budget deficit this year will reach an unprecedented record high of 300 billion
政府的財政儲備由現時約11,000億元下跌至約8,000億元至9,000億元，相當於政府14或15個月的開支。
The fiscal reserves of the Government will reduce from the current level of about 1,100 billion to around 800 billion to 900 billion which is equivalent to 14 or 15 months of government expenditure
毫無疑問，特區政府坐擁巨額盈餘，而現時當香港各界陷入水深火熱，動用巨額款項協助市民和工商界渡過難關，是絕對值得肯定和支持的。
Undoubtedly given the huge reserves of the SAR Government and the fact that all sectors of Hong Kong are now in dire straits the deployment of a large amount of money to help members of the public and the industrial and business sector to ride out the hard times is definitely commendable and worth supporting
然而，我們要求政府盡快落實各項援助措施的同時，亦要求當局思考一個極令人關注的問題，便是在疫情過後，如何令香港經濟盡快復蘇，避免特區政府陷入長期、持續且巨額的財赤危機。
However besides urging the Government to implement various support measures as soon as possible we also ask it to consider an issue of grave concern ie . how to boost economic recovery of Hong Kong after the subsidence of the epidemic so that the SAR Government will not suffer from long - term persistent and huge budget deficits
然而，新冠肺炎疫情結束後，香港的經濟有沒有迅速反彈的條件？
Nevertheless even after the novel coronavirus epidemic is over does Hong Kong have the conditions for a rapid economic rebound?
在去年的下半年，由於反修例的風波，引發一連串打、擲、搶、燒行為，暴力衝擊無日無之，暴徒一連串罄竹難書的暴行，令香港社會動盪不安，把香港作為安全自由、法治大都會的國際聲譽摧殘得蕩然無存，使不少中外旅客對香港卻步。
In the second half of last year disturbances arising from the opposition to the proposed legislative amendments have led to a series of incidents in which people attack others hurl things commit robbery and arson . Violent charges occur every day and countless brutal actions committed by rioters have caused social instability in Hong Kong . These incidents have completely destroyed Hong Kongs international reputation as a safe and free metropolitan city upholding the rule of law
一個連人身安全也不能獲得保證的城市，怎可能吸引旅客到來消費？
Consequently many Chinese and overseas visitors have stopped visiting Hong Kong . How can a city which fails to guarantee personal safety attract visitors to come and spend money?
一個連私有產業和產權也未能受到保障的城市，又怎可能有資本願意到來投資和營商？
How can a city which cannot protect private property and property rights attract investment and business?
因此，令香港能夠在疫情結束後，推動經濟復蘇的先決條件是必須徹底止暴制亂，讓香港的治安重回正軌。
Thus a precondition for promoting economic recovery in Hong Kong after the subsidence of the epidemic is to completely stop violence and curb disorder so that Hong Kong can restore law and order
對於全面止暴制亂，特區政府必須為警隊和司法機構提供充足的資源，制止和制裁暴徒的暴行。
To stop violence and curb disorder completely the SAR Government must provide the Police Force and the Judiciary with sufficient resources to stop rioters from committing violent acts and sanction the wrongdoers
與此同時，特區政府需要盡快完成憲制的責任，為《基本法》第二十三條立法，堵塞國家安全的法例漏洞。
Meanwhile the SAR Government has to expeditiously fulfil its constitutional responsibility of legislating for the implementation of Article 23 of the Basic Law to plug the legal loopholes of national security
此外，我認為要注意世界大舞台的情況。
Furthermore I think we have to pay attention to what is happening in the international arena
歐美有些國家開始發動輿論攻勢，污衊中國，指是次病毒疫情的首發地區是中國武漢，又如何將是次病毒傳播全球，質疑中國隱瞞實情，同時向世界衞生組織"開刀"，指世衞偏袒中國，企圖令世界各國蔑視中國。
Some European countries and the United States have started to attack and smear China through their media alleging that the epidemic originated in Wuhan China and describing how the virus spread to countries all over the world . These countries question whether China has withheld the facts and criticize the World Health Organization for siding with China . The purpose is to generate contempt of China in the international world
事實上，這種圍堵中國的惡行，自新中國成立以來，已經長年累月散播，影響全世界，亦影響到香港一部分不滿國家的人。
In fact since the establishment of the new China such malicious moves to isolate China have been employed for a long time affecting the whole world and some people in Hong Kong who are dissatisfied with China
目前，在主要西方的公開言論中，可以清楚看到，一旦疫情退卻，西方國家會再次在政治、經濟、社會、文化等各方面，全面開展追擊中國的行動。
At present it is clear from the remarks made publicly by some major Western countries that once the epidemic has subsided they will again launch comprehensive attacks on China on political economic social and cultural fronts
因此，可以預計，貿易糾紛不會消停。
Thus it can be expected that trade disputes will not cease
各種科技、金融、經濟封鎖，陸續會來，而香港作為內地最國際化的城市，英美對付中國，香港便是一個最好的棋子，情況將會非常嚴峻。
Technological financial and economic blockades will be imposed one after another . Since Hong Kong is the most international city on the Mainland it will be the best pawn to be used by Britain and the United States against China . Thus the situation will be very challenging
去年經歷了半年的社會暴亂，已經無可避免影響了海外投資者對香港投資的信心及意欲。
Last year riots in society which lasted for six months have inevitably affected the confidence and willingness of international investors to invest in Hong Kong
因此，如果"黑暴"稍後再出動，香港縱使戰勝新冠肺炎的疫情，亦會被"黑暴"分子挑斷"手筋腳筋"，自廢武功，試問未來變得完全沒有競爭力的香港，在如此惡劣的環境下，還有多少"金山"、"銀山"可以作為敗家的本錢？
Thus if black violence reappears even if Hong Kong wins the battle against the novel coronavirus epidemic Hong Kong will still be rendered powerless by the rioters . When Hong Kong has lost all its competitiveness may I ask how much more reserves do we have for squandering under such a poor environment?
所以，參與"黑暴"的青年要好好思考清楚。
These are the questions which young people who have participated in the black violence should seriously consider
我希望用"歌神"許冠傑的名曲"浪子心聲"中數句歌詞，勸勉一眾受到無耻政客唆擺及參與各種暴行的青少年，以及令一些市民可以悟醒："無知井裏蛙，徒望添聲價，空得意目光如麻，誰料金屋變敗瓦"。
I would like to quote a few lines from the famous Drifters Song of God of Songs Sam HUI to advise young people not to be incited by the shameless politicians to commit all sorts of violence and to awaken some members of the public . The lines go An ignorant frog in a well . Hoping to find fame and fortune
他們參與過這些暴行，除了賠上自己的前程，令香港動盪不安外，他們得到甚麼呢？
Conceited and short - sighted . Never expect the deluxe home to fall into ruin . Those who participate in violent acts have sacrificed their own future and wreaked havoc in Hong Kong; what can they get in return?
主席，在經濟方面，新冠肺炎疫情對於環球經濟及香港經濟的衝擊，較2008年金融海嘯更嚴重，國際貨幣基金組織預計今年全球陷入經濟衰退。
President as far as the economy is concerned the blow dealt by the novel coronavirus epidemic to the global and Hong Kong economy is more serious than that of the financial tsunami in 2008 . The International Monetary Fund has estimated that the whole world will experience economic recession this year
目前，我們廣泛的經濟活動，已經受到嚴重干擾，經濟氣氛低迷，現時失業率上升至4.2%，處於最近9年的高位。
At present a wide range of economic activities in Hong Kong have been seriously disrupted and the economic environment is bleak . Currently the unemployment rate has risen to 4.2 % which is the highest in the past nine years
疫情何時才能徹底結束？
When will the epidemic be completely over?
現時仍然是一個未知數。
It is still an uncertainty
正如政府所說，對於目前嚴峻的挑戰，特區政府必須避免大量失業，否則進一步削弱需求，引發經濟就業螺旋式下滑。
As pointed out by the Government in the face of the serious challenges at present the SAR Government should prevent widespread unemployment; otherwise the further weakening of demand will lead to a downward spiral of the economy and the employment situation
在各項的經濟範疇中，我期望貿易發展局能夠發揮更好的促進角色，針對香港的會議及展覽業，無論是本地或國際，都應該較以往加強相關的推廣宣傳及聯繫工作。
I expect the Hong Kong Trade Development Council to perform a better role in promoting the development of various economic sectors particularly the convention and exhibition industry . The Council should step up its efforts in promotion publicity and liaison to develop the industry in the local and international markets
會展業對香港經濟而言，能帶動旅遊、零售、餐飲各行業，從而帶來相當大的裨益。
The convention and exhibition industry will stimulate other industries such as tourism retail and catering and bring huge benefits to the Hong Kong economy
環球方面，亦可以帶動本港的 進出口業、貿易及物流業。
From a global perspective the convention and exhibition industry will also promote the development of local industries such as import and export trading and logistics
因為疫情現時全球大流行，令部分主要出口市場的需求下挫。
Since the epidemic is currently affecting the whole world the demands in some of our major export markets have reduced
外圍貿易環境變得很惡劣，今年首兩個月，香港商品的出口，以貨價計算，跌幅達12%。
The external trading environment has become very poor . In the first two months of this year export business of Hong Kong commodities have dropped by 12 % in terms of the price of goods
相信商品出口表現在短期內，都會維持在低迷狀態。
I believe the performance in the commodities export industry will remain in the doldrums in the short term
事實上，由於環球經濟可說已進入冰河期，導致目前很多海外國家取消訂單、凍結訂單，或船期延誤交貨，被海外買家要求補償等。
In fact as the global economy has entered an ice age many overseas countries have cancelled or suspended their orders shipment of goods has been delayed and overseas buyers have demanded compensation
我強調，香港作為第三產業發達的地區，必須盡量利用香港本身的會展業的優勢，提振香港經濟，這是一種很有效的手段。
I must stress that Hong Kong with its well - developed tertiary industries should utilize its edge in the convention and exhibition industry to revive our economy . This will be a very effective means
為了達成這個目標，香港無論大、中、小、微企業的生存發展，都要依靠資金鏈。
To achieve this objective all enterprises be they large medium small or micro in scale need capital chains for survival and development
因此，今年財政司司長在預算案回應了我們的訴求，政府推出了100%擔保的"中小企融資擔保計劃"，我期望特區政府在必要時，進一步加強對企業的支援。
Thus the Financial Secretary has responded to our request in the Budget this year . The Government will introduce the Special 100 % Loan Guarantee under the SME Financing Guarantee Scheme . I expect that the SAR Government will further strengthen its support for enterprises as and when the need arises
除了政府提出相關的政策外，亦需要銀行或金融服務業配合。
The Government should implement corresponding policies and banks and the financial services industry should also work together in this regard
此外，香港在疫情過後，經濟活動恢復，人的交流會增加，包括洽談生意、運送材料、物流的運輸、旅遊、留學、國際會議等。
Furthermore after the epidemic has subsided economic activities will resume and there will be more interactions between people including business negotiations delivery of materials movement of goods tourism overseas studies international conferences etc
如果有些國家醫療系統不完善或比較落後，未能夠徹底做好檢測工作，很容易再將病毒輸入，我們必須防範疫情再度爆發。
In countries where the health care systems are not well developed or relatively backward proper viral testing may not be conducted and the virus may easily be imported into Hong Kong again . Thus we must guard against the recurrence of the epidemic
主席，香港接連面對社會"黑暴"及環球經濟衰退，我認為政府應該大力抗暴，拒絕"攬炒"，我們將基礎打穩，盡量做好本分，定能突破，戰勝黑暗。
President Hong Kong has suffered blows dealt by the black violence and the global economic recession one after the other . I think the Government should make vigorous efforts to fight violence and refuse to burn together . If we lay a solid foundation for development and strive to perform our own duties we will surely make a breakthrough in overcoming darkness
主席，我以下會從宏觀及公共理財的角度分析今年的財政預算案。
President I will analyse this years Budget from a macro and public finance perspective
眾所周知，政府在4月初公布了第二輪防疫抗疫基金的措施，涉及金額高達1,375億元，再加上第一輪防疫抗疫基金的300億元，以及現時預算案中合共約1,200億元的紓緩措施，紓緩措施的金額總數合共2,875億元。
As we all know the Government announced the second round of the Anti - epidemic Fund AEF in early April which involves a total of 137.5 billion . Coupled with the first round of AEF involving 30 billion and the relief measures in the Budget costing a total of about 120 billion the various relief measures add up to a total of 287.5 billion
如果這3筆重大支援措施的開支悉數在2020-2021年度支付，而我相信絕大部分金額都會在這年度內支付，以作應急之用，今年預算案的赤字將會由司長原本所說的1,391億元，大大提升至2,766億元，即是由佔本地生產總值4.8%增加至9.5%，這亦令財政儲備下降至相等於大概14個月至15個月的政府開支。
If these three sums of substantial expenditures on support measures are spent in 2020 - 2021 and I also believe a very large portion of the amount will be disbursed within this year to meet contingency needs the deficit of this years Budget will increase significantly from 139.1 billion as previously claimed by the Financial Secretary to 276.6 billion . In other words the percentage in Gross Domestic Product GDP will increase from 4.8 % to 9.5 % thereby bringing the fiscal reserves down to about 14 to 15 months of public expenditure
當然，這已是較樂觀的估計，因為我們不知道司長的預算案有否高估估算收入，包括賣地、利得稅、薪俸稅及印花稅的收入。
This is of course a relatively optimistic estimate because we do not know if the Financial Secretary has overestimated revenue projection which includes revenue from land premium profits tax salaries tax and stamp duty in his Budget
如果這些收入被高估，總體赤字應該不止上述的數目。
If these revenues have been overestimated the overall deficit should be even higher
剛公布的1月至3月經季節性調整的失業率是4.2%，就業不足率則由1.5%上升至2.1%。
The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate just released was 4.2 % between January and March whereas underemployment rate has risen from 1.5 % to 2.1 %
我認為財政司司長應該在此向我們公開說明，他的長遠公共理財原則是甚麼。
I think the Financial Secretary should publicly explain to us what his long - term public finance principle is
第一項因素是，我們對於財政儲備有否任何底線或要求？
The first factor is have we set any minimum level or requirement for fiscal reserves?
回歸之後，歷代財政司司長對財政儲備的說法皆不一致。
After the reunification all former Financial Secretaries have different interpretations about the fiscal reserves
至於現任財政司司長陳茂波，他曾否在其理財新哲學中特別提到財政儲備的狀況？
As regards the incumbent Financial Secretary Paul CHAN has he made any special reference to fiscal reserves in his new fiscal philosophy?
除了財政儲備外，我們還要注意現時的財政赤字，包括赤字的基數及赤字與本地生產總值或其他國家稱為國民生產總值的比較。
Apart from fiscal reserves we should also pay attention to the current fiscal deficit including the base of the deficit and the comparison between deficit and GDP or what is known as Gross National Product in other countries
我們要考慮的另一個重要長遠財政狀況指標，是政府經常性開支的增長率及GDP的增長率。
Another important long - term fiscal indicator that must be taken into consideration is the growth rates of government recurrent expenditure and GDP
大家都知道，如果經常性開支的增長率永遠超越GDP的增長率，這是不能持續的。
As we all know it will not be sustainable if the growth rate of recurrent expenditure always exceeds that of GDP
我不知道，但我希望財政司司長會留意這一點，因為《基本法》第一百零七條訂明，"香港特別行政區的財政預算以量入為出作原則，力求收支平衡"。
I do not know but I hope that the Financial Secretary will pay attention to this point because Article 107 of the Basic Law provides that The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall follow the principle of keeping expenditure within the limits of revenues in drawing up its budget and strive to achieve a fiscal balance
不過，未來4年由74億元至170億元的赤字預算只是十分保守的估計。
However deficits ranging from 7.4 billion to 17 billion for the next four years are indeed very conservative estimates
很不幸地，自從疫症肆虐全球之後，環球經濟受到嚴重衝擊，世界貿易組織也預測，全球貿易的萎縮速度會遠遠超過2008年金融危機的水平，而國際貨幣基金組織亦在今年的經濟預測中，預計全球增長率為-3%。
Unfortunately the global economy has been hard hit as the epidemic swept across the world . The World Trade Organization predicts that global trade will shrink at a much faster rate than during the financial crisis in 2008 whereas the International Monetary Fund also projects the global growth forecast of this year to be - 3 %
因此，如果再計算未來4年，是否會出現另外數千億元赤字，大家都不知道。
Therefore if projections are to be made for the next four years I wonder if the deficit estimates will reach as high as hundreds of billions of dollars
2018年，我聽到另一個理財觀念，司長說要突破公共開支不能超過本地生產總值20%的金科玉律，要在多方面增加投資和追落後。
In 2018 I heard another financial concept . The Financial Secretary said that in order to break the golden rule of capping public expenditure at 20 % of GDP it was important to increase investment and catch up on all fronts
誠然，在收支平衡的情況下加大某些範疇的開支，例如教育或醫療等，相信沒有人會有異議，但政府卻依賴地價、印花稅、利得稅和薪俸稅等作為主要收入來源。
Honestly speaking if fiscal balance is achieved no one would oppose an increase in expenditure in areas such as education and health care . The problem is that the Government has relied too heavily on land premium stamp duty profits tax and salaries tax as its major sources of income
問題是香港的稅基一向狹窄，政府收入亦會因經濟活動的波動而上調或下調，這也是不能否定的事實。
The problem lies in that the tax base of Hong Kong is too narrow and government revenue may go up and down as a result of economic fluctuations which is also an undeniable fact
因此，單純依靠3項稅收加上賣地收入作為特區政府的主要收入來源，還要突破開支20%的金科玉律，究竟政府的錢從何來？
Therefore given the heavy reliance of the SAR Government on three forms of taxation and land premium as its major source of revenue and the need to break the golden rule of capping public expenditure at 20 % of GDP where does the money of the Government come from?
大家再看看一份已經被人遺忘的文件，就是2014年發表的長遠財政計劃工作小組報告。
Let us look at a document that has already been forgotten ie . a report published by the Working Group on Long - Term Fiscal Planning in 2014
這份報告由一個專家小組研究編寫，指出香港人口老化，加上勞動人口會在2018年見頂，即使在2014年至2041-2042年度間，教育、社會福利、衞生只是維持在2014年的水平，政府開支每年的趨勢增長率5.3%仍然高於本地生產總值增長率4.4%。
In this report prepared by a panel of experts it was pointed out that as the population of Hong Kong was ageing and labour force would peak in 2018 even if the expenditures on education social welfare and health remained at the level of 2014 between 2014 and 2041 - 2042 the 5.3 % projected trend growth rate of government expenditure was still higher than the 4.4 % projected trend growth of nominal GDP
因此，舉債度日並不是我們想看到的，而《基本法》第一百零七條亦不會容許我們長期舉債以展開超巨型的工程。
What is more Article 107 of the Basic Law also prohibits us from launching gigantic projects by living on credit for a long period of time
我希望特區政府會深切考慮，長遠而言我們的收入會從何而來。
I hope that the SAR Government will carefully consider where we can obtain income in the long run
坦白說，我們如何投票屬於本會的內部事務，無需亦輪不到任何機構或個人指手劃腳，大放厥詞。
Frankly speaking how we vote is an internal matter of this Council and no institution or individual is in any position to give orders and make irresponsible remarks
我現在談的是希望針對今年預算案的一些開支部分。
Now I am going to focus my speech on certain expenditure items of this years Budget
我首先要談的當然是警隊開支。
The first thing I would like to talk about is surely the expenditure of the Police Force
一隊忠誠勇毅、嚴正執法及優秀的紀律部隊，在未來的財政年度要花香港人多少錢呢？
How much Hong Kong people have to pay to maintain this excellent disciplinary force which serves with honour duty and loyalty and strictly enforces the law in the coming financial year?
是258億元。
25.8 billion
單憑過去一年香港發生的事情，相信香港人心中已有答案。
Based on what has happened in Hong Kong in the past year I believe Hong Kong people should have an answer
不過，昨晚我才發覺原來香港警隊並非只是"大花筒"，"洗腳唔抹腳"，他們也懂得掙錢。
However it was only until last night that I realized that the Hong Kong Police Force was not a reckless spendthrift for it also knows how to make money
昨晚警方在元朗拘捕一些互不相識的市民及年輕人，指他們違反"限聚令"，每人罰款2,000元，即是昨晚已替庫房進帳不少。
Last night the Police arrested a number of unrelated people and youngsters in Yuen Long and accused them of breaching the group gathering ban . Each of them was fined 2,000 . Hence a lot of money was credited to the public coffers last night
警務處明年的人手編制，連同首長級人員在內會增至38,481人。
The establishment of the Police Force including directorate officers will increase to 38 481 posts next year
我們把258億元除以人數，便會得出1年的人 均開支67萬元。
If we divide 25.8 billion by the number of staff it gives a per capita expenditure of 670,000 per year
相信在當權者眼中，要擁有全面管治權便當然要維護國家安全，人均消費67萬元是非常值得，因為在某些地方，要養活一間"五毛"工廠可能也不止此數。
I believe that in the eyes of those in power it is certainly worthwhile to safeguard national security by assuming full governance with a per capita spending of 670,000 . This is because in some places it probably costs far more to maintain a fifty cent factory
不過，這是香港的議會，我們要代香港人問的問題是：為何在無法制衡警權的同時，還要撥款給警隊擴充軍備及招聘人手？
And yet this is the legislature of Hong Kong and the question that we have to ask on behalf of Hong Kong people is Why should we allocate funding for the Police Force to expand armaments and increase manpower when we cannot keep the police powers in check?
這牽涉我接着要談的"撥款令"問題。
This has something to do with the allocation warrants that I am going to talk about
