廉潔的政府和廉潔的商業道德，也是香港在"一國兩制"下賴以成功的重要元素。
A clean government and corruption - free business ethics are also the key elements underpinning Hong Kongs success under one country two systems
近年，本港的廉潔指數不斷下降，這當然是由於很多高層官員因涉及貪腐行為而被判刑，亦有很多快將離職的官員因涉嫌貪腐，正被廉政公署調查。
The index of probity has been declining in recent years . Certainly this is due to many senior government officials being sentenced to imprisonment for their involvement in acts of corruption . There are also many departing government official currently being investigated by the Independent Commission Against Corruption for their suspected involvement in corruption
我們不單要關注政府內部的廉潔，亦要關注在香港做生意的商業機構和企業的廉潔。
We should not only show concern about probity in government but also probity in commercial organizations and enterprises doing business in Hong Kong
廉潔不獨是香港的關注，因為大家都知道，歐盟、英國及美國都訂有跨境的反貪腐法例，所有在香港營業的外國企業都必須遵守該等法例。
Probity is not merely a matter of concern in Hong Kong because as we all know the European Union United Kingdom and United States have formulated cross - boundary anti - corruption laws to be complied with by all foreign enterprises doing business in Hong Kong
此外，《基本法》多項條文均保有若干機制，讓中央在一些特別情況下行使。
Moreover there are a number of provisions in the Basic Law which empower the Central Authorities to exercise certain powers under special circumstances
我認為大家唯一要做的，是重建互信。
In my view all we have to do is to rebuild mutual trust
信任是《基本法》、"港人治港"、"高度自治"的基礎。
Trust is the basis for the Basic Law Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy
中央希望重新評估香港人是否真正支持"一國兩制"，但"一國兩制"必須建基於全面落實"港人治港"和"高度自治"，而不應由內地官員指指點點，說不如設立一個常設的釋法機制等。
The Central Authorities want to assess anew whether Hong Kong people genuinely support one country two systems . However one country two systems must be premised on the full implementation of Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy instead of being directed by Mainland officials making comments such as establishing a standing mechanism for interpreting the Basic Law
中央必須讓我們有"高度自治"及信任我們，使我們可以好好管理香港這片細小的土地。
The Central Authorities must let us have a high degree of autonomy and trust us so that we can well manage this tiny piece of land
正如很多建制派議員所說，香港是中國境內最自由的城市，但我們為何不可以把香港......
As many pro - establishment Members put it Hong Kong is the freest city in China; but how come we cannot make Hong Kong the freest city in Asia?
就是在2003年。
It was in 2003
所以，對於今天議案的主旨，即"正視七一遊行市民的訴求"，我們並不認同只有七一遊行的訴求才應予以正視。
That is why as far as the theme of todays motion is concerned that is Facing up to the aspirations of the people participating in the 1 July march we do not agree that we should only face up to the aspirations raised during the 1 July marches
為何2001年、2002年或1998年沒有？
Why did it not happen before in 2001 2002 or 1998?
從歷史來看，香港自1997年回歸之後，當年特區政府在處理很多事情上不但不能獲得市民認同，反而引發很多怨氣。
From the historic point of view after Hong Kongs reunification in 1997 the then SAR Government not only failed to win the publics support when handling a number of matters it also at times created much grievances in society . But of course we must also understand that a lot of things happened at that time including the Asian financial crisis in 1998 avian influenza SARS and so on
當然，我們亦要明白，當時發生了很多事情，例如1998年的亞洲金融風暴、禽流感、SARS等，這些事情我們從來沒有遇過，所以當時的特區政府亦沒有經驗處理，以致出現各種狀況，引起社會不滿，例如在2003年發生SARS疫情，香港便損失了差不多300條人命。
We had never encountered all these incidents before . As the then SAR Government did not have any experience in dealing with these matters all sorts of conditions had arisen causing much dissatisfaction in society . For instance nearly 300 persons died in Hong Kong during the SARS pandemic in 2003
就是在"一國兩制"之下"港人治港"，對於"港人治港"這部分，我們是否有適當人才"治港"？
The lesson is that when it comes to Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong under one country two systems we must ask ourselves whether we have the right talent to administer Hong Kong
第一位特首董建華先生是商人，所以是商人治港；第二位特首曾蔭權先生是公務員，所以是公務員治港；到了第三位特首梁振英先 生，便是專業人士治港。
The first Chief Executive Mr TUNG Chee - hwa was a businessman so it is a case of businessman administering Hong Kong . The second Chief Executive Mr Donald TSANG was a civil servant so it is a case of civil servant administering Hong Kong . When it comes to the third Chief Executive Mr LEUNG Chun - ying it is a case of professional administering Hong Kong
中央政府可能仍在摸索不同模式，究竟應用哪種模式或哪種人才治理香港才最適合。
Perhaps the Central Government is still exploring with different models in order to decide which model or which kind of talent is most suitable for administration Hong Kong
在過往一段時間，香港發生了很多事。
Many things have happened in Hong Kong over a period of time in the past
後來，曾蔭權停止賣地，停建公屋，令房屋供應萎縮。
When Donald TSANG halted land sales and the construction of public housing later housing supply was substantially reduced
到梁振英接手，增加房屋供應，但他卻出錯招數，"雙辣招"等措施對樓市造成很大影響。
When LEUNG Chun - ying took over he started to increase housing supply . But he used the wrong tactics and measures such as the double curbs measures have created a huge impact on the property market
由此可見，現時是政策上出了問題，原來特區的管治團隊根本沒有好方法管治香港，所以往往要中央協助。
It is thus clear that our predicament is a result of policy blunders . As the governing teams of the SAR could not come up with good ideas to administer Hong Kong assistance from the Central Government was invariably required
很多時候，是香港本身要求中央給予協助。
Very often it is Hong Kong itself who asked the Central Government for assistance
有些人會問，為何以前港英時代沒有這問題？
Some people may wonder why this issue was unheard of during the Hong Kong - British era
正如在過去數年，香港的撕裂令港人不滿，大家都不高興，但這情況是否百分百與中央政府有關？
A case in point is the social dissensions over the past few years which have caused great dissatisfaction among Hong Kong people . But should the blame fall solely on the Central Government?
我期望新一屆政府真的可以有效地管理香港，多聆聽各方意見。
I hope the new Government can administer Hong Kong effectively and listen to more views from all walks of life
郭榮鏗議員剛才指他不滿意政改的情況，但我也希望郭議員知道，政改步伐的快慢、改革是否完全按照西方政制等問題在上次政改諮詢期間，我們已作出不少討論。
Mr Dennis KWOK pointed out earlier that he was dissatisfied with the development of constitutional reform but I hope he can understand that during the consultation on the constitutional reform proposal last time we had many discussions on the pace of constitutional reform and whether our constitutional reform should entirely follow the Western constitutional system
當議案提交議會，我們亦作了不少討論。
After the motion on the constitutional reform proposal was submitted to the Legislative Council we also had a lot of discussions
我曾苦口婆心對大家說，我們之間可能有一些分歧，他們希望一步到位，而我們則認為政治改革絕不能掉以輕心，因為這牽涉到一個社會的全民福祉。
Back then I earnestly said that there might be differences between us . While opposition Members hoped that reforms could be made in one stride we considered that we should not handle constitutional reform lightly because it would affect the well - being of everyone in society
現在西方社會的政治均面對困境，我們是否要重蹈覆轍呢？
At present the Western societies are facing political difficulties; do we have to repeat the mistakes they made?
還是香港人要有自己的一套政治制度呢？
Or should Hong Kong people develop a constitutional system of their own?
究竟香港的政治制度應如何？
What kind of constitutional system should Hong Kong develop?
事實上，香港是一個遊行之都，每年大大小小的遊行達七八千宗，如果尹議員只要求重視七一遊行的市民，其他時間遊行的市民又怎樣？
In fact Hong Kong is a city of protests . About 7 000 to 8 000 protests of different scales are held in Hong Kong every year . If Mr Andrew WAN asks the Government to attach importance only to the aspirations of the people participating in the 1 July march what about the aspirations of participants in protests held at other times?
所以，今天也有議員指出他這個方向不正確，政府應正視每一次遊行。
Thus some Members have pointed out that his direction is incorrect and that the Government should attach importance to each and every protest
事實上，我們發現每一次遊行都有很多不同持份者表達不同訴求，而我們亦相信政府有聆聽，亦希望能盡量在能力範圍內滿足市民的要求。
Actually we have noticed that different requests are put forward by various stakeholders in every protest . We believe that the Government has listened to them and tried to meet peoples demands where feasible
例如，近期某些勞工政策，我們看到政府推行得很努力，但最終卻兩邊不討好。
For example we notice that the Government has tried very hard to introduce some labour policies but in the end both the supporters and the opponents of the policies are dissatisfied
我只想指出，尹兆堅議員提出的這項議案的中心思想便是香港沒有"高度自治"，更直接地說，他想要求比"高度自治"更高的自治，對嗎？
I would only like to point out that Mr Andrew WANs motion is mainly based on the argument that Hong Kong lacks a high degree of autonomy or let me put it more directly that Hong Kong lacks the higher level of self - government right?
換言之，他甚至可能想自決或"港獨"，但他知道假如說出這些話會違反《基本法》，違反"一國兩制"，違反作為一個議員的誓言。
In other words perhaps he even wants self - determination or Hong Kong independence but he understands that if he makes such remarks he will breach the Basic Law contravene the principle of one country two systems and break the promises which he has made as a Member of the Legislative Council
因此，他不會說出來，這是聰明的做法，但"司馬昭之心，路人皆見"。
Thus he will not make such remarks which is clever of him but his intentions are apparent to everyone
尹議員的議案指"'一國兩制'在香港的實踐已經嚴重動搖、走樣和變形"。
Mr WAN says in his motion that the implementation of one country two systems in Hong Kong has been severely shaken distorted and deformed
所以，昨天我很細心聆聽尹議員的發言，今早我又再多聽一次，究竟尹議員的指控是甚麼？
I have very carefully listened to his speech yesterday and I have listened to it again this morning . What really are Mr WANs accusations?
究竟過去20年來，"一國兩制"如何走樣和變形？
Over the past 20 years how has the implementation of one country two systems been distorted and deformed?
很可惜，我聽不到他提出任何具體實例。
Unfortunately I have not heard any specific examples from Mr WAN
尹議員之所以說走樣和變形，可能是因為中央過去對香港的一些關心表現。
Perhaps Mr WAN said that the implementation has been distorted and deformed because the Central Authorities have expressed their concern about Hong Kong in the past
以尹議員的黨友許智峯議員為例，他早前看到有中央駐港官員參觀一個街市項目，這是關心的表現，他卻認為是干預香港施政，這種智慧真的很嚇人，亦貽笑大方。
Take Mr HUI Chi - fung Mr WANs fellow party member as an example . Mr HUI saw earlier some Central Peoples Governments officials stationed in Hong Kong visit a market where there was a development project . That was an expression of concern of the officials but Mr HUI thought that they were interfering in the administration of Hong Kong
我只能說，從政治及經濟而言，其實香港比回歸前更好。
All I can say is that the current situation of Hong Kong is better than what it was before the reunification whether politically or economically
我今天聽到譚文豪議員說情況並非如此，現在有些數據顯示情況差了。
Today I heard that Mr Jeremy TAM say that is not the case and that according to some figures the situation has actually worsened
我相信這是警惕大家，如果香港再不努力專注經濟發展，搞好香港，香港經濟便會如譚文豪議員所說不斷下滑。
I believe Mr TAM is only trying to warn us that if we do not focus on developing our economy and making Hong Kong a better place the economic situation will worsen
代理主席，我記得2010年曾有一項調查，關於全香港萬個住戶中有多少人飼養貓狗，當時的調查結果顯示有249,000多個住戶飼養貓或狗。
Deputy President I recall that a survey was conducted in 2010 on the number of households keeping dogs or cats among the 2.4 million households in Hong Kong
到2015年或2016年，有關香港獸醫專業發展的顧問研究報告指出，在香港240萬個住戶中，有超過50萬個住戶飼養貓或狗，假如連飼養其他寵物都計算在內，香港有超過100萬個住戶飼養寵物。
It was found that over 249 000 households kept dogs or cats . According to the Study on the Development of the Veterinary Profession in Hong Kong between 2015 and 2016 of the 2.4 million households in Hong Kong over 500 000 households kept dogs or cats and over 1 million households kept pets including animals other than dogs and cats
很可惜，近年來，我們經常看到很多有關殘忍虐待動物的新聞，而最主要是法例的問題。
It is a shame that recently there are often news reports about animal cruelty cases and the main problem lies with the legislation
另一個大家比較關心的是棄養問題。
Another issue of concern is animal abandonment
但過去10年，漁農自然護理署成功檢控的有多少宗個案？
How many cases have been successfully prosecuted by the Agriculture Fishers and Conservation Department AFCD over the past decade?
我前天才到訪漁護署的動物中心探望那裏的流浪貓，那裏的流浪貓若短期內無人領養，很可能要遭人道毀滅。
I visited stray cats in an AFCD animal centre the day before yesterday . If no one adopts the cats there within a short period of time they will be euthanized
在香港法例第139B章訂立後，確實能杜絕部分的非法繁殖活動，但無可否認，當中仍有一些漏洞，例如在網上買賣也是一個問題。
After Cap . 139B of the Laws of Hong Kong is enacted it will definitely combat some of the illegal breeding activities in Hong Kong . But it cannot be denied that there are still loopholes in the legislation such as it is unable to deal with online animal trading
我支持就維護動物權益立法。
I support legislating for safeguarding animal rights
主席，香港特別行政區已經成立20周年，我相信所有客觀的人都會同意，我們取得的成就有目共睹，"一國兩制"的實踐是值得肯定的，"港人治港"、"高度自治"成功落實。
President the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has been established for 20 years I believe all objective persons will agree that our achievements are obvious to all . The manifestation of one country two systems is commendable and the principles of Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy have been implemented successfully
這不單是我個人的看法，事實上，國際社會對香港回歸後的評價和認可一直很高。
These are not my personal views . In fact the international community has always highly appraised and approved Hong Kong since the reunification
剛才有同事和我們重溫了過往20年，我想藉此機會和同事重溫一下國際社會如何評價香港。
As a Member has just now shared with us his review of the past 20 years I would also like to take this opportunity to share with Members how the international community has appraised Hong Kong
依據美國傳統基金會的研究，香港已經 連續23年蟬聯全球最自由經濟體。
According to a study of the Heritage Foundation of the United States Hong Kong has been ranked the worlds freest economy for the 23 consecutive year
在法治方面，依據世界公義工程所制訂的全球法治指數排名，香港去年排名第十六位，位居前列，排名遠較回歸前高。
On the rule of law according to the Rule of Law Index prepared by the World Justice Project Hong Kong took up a leading position being ranked 16 in the world last year a much higher place than that before the reunification
根據世界經濟論壇發表的《2015-2016年全球競爭力報告》，香港在司法獨立的表現亦高居全球第四位。
According to the Global Competitiveness Report 2015 - 2016 released by the World Economic Forum Hong Kong was ranked fourth in the world for its judicial independence
民主方面，雖然香港仍未實行普選，但依據《經濟學人》所制訂的全球民主指數，香港仍然在全球167個國家及地區中，排名第七十位，位處中游。
As regards democracy Hong Kong has yet to implement universal suffrage but according to the 2016 Democracy Index prepared by the Economist Hong Kong took up a middling position being ranked 70 among 167 countries and regions in the world
至於人權方面，加拿大菲沙研究所去年發表的最新人類自由指數報告顯示，香港已經連續6年蟬聯冠軍。
As regards human rights the Human Freedom Index released last year by the Fraser Institute of Canada indicated that Hong Kong enjoyed the top position for the sixth consecutive year
廉潔方面，依據國際反貪組織"透明國際"所作的調查，香港的廉潔程度排名第十五位。
When it comes to probity according to a survey conducted by Transparency International an international anti - corruption organization Hong Kong was ranked the 15 least corrupt place
競爭力方面，依據瑞士洛桑國際管理發展學院發表的《2016年世界競爭力年報》，香港排名全球第一；依據世界經濟論壇公布的《2016-2017年全球競爭力報告》，香港亦排名全球第九位。
As regards competitiveness Hong Kong was ranked the worlds most competitive economy according to the World Competitiveness Yearbook 2016 released by the International Institute for Management Development in Lausanne Switzerland; Hong Kong was ranked ninth in the world according to the Global Competitiveness Report 2016 - 2017 released by the World Economic Forum
兩星期前，國際權威的QS世界大學排名最新名單出爐，小小的香港竟然有4所大學躋身全球前50名內，相信是全球一流大學密度最高的地方。
According to the latest internationally authoritative QS World University Rankings released two weeks ago such a tiny place as Hong Kong saw four of its universities placed in the top 50 universities in the world . The city is believed to be the place with the densest concentration of first - class universities in the world
主席，現時香港是國際三大金融中心之一，也是亞洲最主要的貿易中心、航運中心、旅遊中心，地位更越來越鞏固，在國際上聲譽日隆。
President as one of the three international financial centres and a major trade centre shipping centre and tourism centre in Asia Hong Kong enjoys an increasingly strengthened status and greater international reputation
在2015年，香港人均GDP達42,000多美元，較回歸前增長了一半，是世界上最富裕和發達的地方之一。
The GDP per capita of Hong Kong in 2015 reached some US 42,000 an increase of some 50 % over that before the reunification making Hong Kong one of the most prosperous and advanced places in the world
失業率方面，香港已經連續6年低於4%，相當於全民就業，失業綜援個案現時正處於20年來的最低水平。
An unemployment rate of below 4 % for the sixth consecutive year enables Hong Kong to be close to full employment and the number of cases involving Comprehensive Social Security Assistance for the unemployed has dropped to the lowest level in 20 years
香港已經在1997年回歸祖國，成為國家的特別行政區，實行"一國兩制"。
Hong Kong returned to the Motherland in 1997 and has since become a special administrative region of the country and implemented one country two systems
為何香港要實行"一國兩制"，繼續維持原來的資本主義制度？
Why does Hong Kong need to implement one country two systems and maintain its original capitalist system?
為何香港在回歸後仍然可以擁有"高度自治"和單獨的稅制，法律基本不變，享有行政管理權、立法權、獨立的司法權和終審權？
How come Hong Kong can after the reunification still have a high degree of autonomy and an independent taxation system how come its legal system can remain basically unchanged and how come it can enjoy executive legislative and independent judicial power including that of final adjudication?
最根本的原因，是中央充分信任香港，而且完全站在香港的利益角度出發，誠心誠意希望香港回歸後可以繼續繁榮穩定，所以才實行"一國兩制"。
The fundamental reason is that the Central Authorities fully trust Hong Kong and having full regard to the interests of Hong Kong sincerely hope that Hong Kong can continue to enjoy prosperity and stability following the reunification . One country two systems has thus been implemented
毫無疑問，國家對香港實行"一國兩制"的初心，從國家和香港的整體利益出發的初衷，不容任何人否定或質疑。
Certainly no one should negate or query the original intent of the Central Authorities in implementing one country two systems in Hong Kong as well as the original intent of having regard to the overall interests of the country and Hong Kong
主席，我想說香港並非一個完美的社會，香港並非完全沒有經濟和民生的問題。
President what I want to say is that Hong Kong is not a perfect society that is not plagued by any economic and livelihood problems
事實上，香港的貧富懸殊、經濟轉型和住屋問題仍然十分嚴峻，需要新一屆政府急切改善。
In fact the problems of wealth gap economic restructuring and housing in Hong Kong are very serious requiring urgent improvement by the new - term Government
不過，試問一下，世界上哪有完美的社會？
That said may I ask whether there is any perfect society in the world?
世界上哪個社會沒有問題？
Is there any society in the world that is free from any problems?
難道因為香港和世界其他地方一樣，存在不完美的地方，便可以否定"一國兩制"的成功嗎？
Should we negate the success of one country two systems simply because Hong Kong like other places in the world has areas of inadequacies?
主席，"一國兩制"的初心就是要保持香港的繁榮穩定，從回歸後的數據來看，"一國兩制"確實取得了成功。
President the original intent of one country two systems is to maintain the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and judging from the statistics following the reunification one country two systems has indeed been successfully implemented
不過，我們也看到過去20年，反對派不斷抹黑和"唱衰""一國兩制"，以偏概全，不斷放大香港的民生和政治問題，藉以抹黑"一國兩制"，否定"一國兩制"，這是否公道？
That said we have noted that over the past 20 years the opposition camp has been smearing and bad - mouthing one country two systems mistaking the partial for the overall magnifying Hong Kongs political and livelihood problems to smear and negate one country two systems
為何反對派好像活在另一個世界中，當全世界都讚頌香港好，認為香港是一個福地時，反對派口中的香港卻總是民不聊生？
Is this fair? . Why does the opposition camp seem to live in another world? . While other places in the world praise Hong Kong for being a blessed land why is it that the opposition camp always depicts Hong Kong as a destitute city?
究竟香港是否真的這麼差，抑或只是有人歪曲事實？
Is Hong Kong really so bad or do people simply distort the truths?
我相信公道自在人心。
I believe that justice lies in the hearts of the people
事實上，香港絕對可以更好，只要反對派不要再瘋狂"拉布"，不要再惡意阻撓政府的經濟建設工程，甚至阻撓政府發放民生福利，香港一定會更好，"一國兩制"將會取得更大的成功。
In fact Hong Kong can surely be better . As long as the opposition camp no longer filibusters frantically no longer wilfully obstructs economic development projects undertaken by the Government and impedes the Governments distribution of welfare benefits Hong Kong can certainly be better and greater successes will be achieved in terms of one country two systems
主席，中國有句成語叫"賊喊捉賊"，我相信大家都聽過。
President I believe that Members must have heard an idiom in China that is thief crying stop thief
反對派一方面破壞"一國兩制"成功實踐，另一方面批評"一國兩制"失敗，難道不是賊喊捉賊嗎？
As the opposition camp sabotages the successful implementation of one country two systems on the one hand and criticizes one country two systems for being a failure on the other are they not playing the trick of thief crying stop thief? . One does not have too many two decades in ones lifetime
人生沒有多少個20年，"一國兩制"已實踐了20年，取得大量客觀的成功，累積了非常寶貴的經驗，我們應該肯定"一國兩制"。
As one country two systems has been implemented for two decades quite a number of empirical successes have been achieved and valuable experience has been accumulated we should affirm one country two systems
因此，主席，我贊成黃定光議員和建制派同事的修正案，今年七一，我們應該慶祝，而不是繼續"唱衰"國家，"唱衰"香港。
For this reason President I support the amendments of Mr WONG Ting - kwong and another pro - establishment Member . On 1 July this year we should celebrate rather than continue to bad - mouth the country and Hong Kong
主席，歷來七一的訴求都相當龐雜，但在如此龐雜的訴求中，也有主線，有主題。
President over the years people participating in the 1 July march have numerous aspirations including major aspirations and major themes
但是，除民生議題外，今年主要的訴求是有關"一國兩制"的問題。
In addition to livelihood issues another major aspiration is related to one country two systems
就"一國兩制"的問題，昨天有 20位議員發表了一封致國家主席習近平的信。
On the issue of one country two systems yesterday 20 Members issued a letter to President Xi Jinping
我們在信中指出，"一國兩制"現正面臨走樣、變形的趨勢，我們感到很擔心，認為這種情況不應繼續發展下去。
We stated in the letter that one country two systems was facing a trend of being distorted and deformed . We were really worried and considered that this situation should not continue to develop
我們亦當然希望能重啟政改，令香港最終能走出管治困局。
Certainly we hope that the statutory process for constitutional reform can be reactivated so that Hong Kong will eventually be able to get out of the governance predicament
在這信中，我們回顧香港的歷史發展。
We also reviewed the historical development of Hong Kong in the letter
當香港回歸時，國家制訂了當時的基本方針政策，有12個字經常被提起，即"一國兩制"、"高度自治"、"港人治港"。
When Hong Kong was returned to China the country formulated the basic policies . Expressions such as one country two systems a high degree of autonomy and Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong have frequently been mentioned
當中的"高度自治"，大家近年可能會感到說少了。
However we may find that the expression a high degree of autonomy has not been mentioned frequently in recent years
"高度"可能會有不同的詮釋，我們以為真的很高，像林卓廷議員般高，豈料實際上原來是另一種"高度"，只達到普通的中位數。
It is possible that there are different interpretations of a high degree . We may think that a high degree should be very high comparable to the height of Mr LAM Cheuk - ting but in reality there may be another height which is median high
究竟香港的"一國兩制"、"高度自治"是怎樣的呢？
What exactly are one country two systems and a high degree of autonomy in Hong Kong?
習近平在兩年前曾說過，"一國兩制"在香港的實踐出現了新情況，但無論出現甚麼新情況，中央對貫徹"一國兩制"的方針仍會堅持兩點，一是堅定不移，不會變、不動搖，二是全面準確，不走樣、不變形。
XI Jinping said two years ago that a new situation had emerged in connection with the implementation of one country two systems in Hong Kong . However despite new situations the Central Government would unswervingly implement the policy of one country two systems and made sure that it was fully applied in Hong Kong without being bent or distorted
我們相信不會變、不動搖、不走樣、不變形這數點方針是非常重要，但問題是不走樣的原本樣子如何，不變形的最初形式如何。
We believe that the principles of not being bent shaken distorted or deformed are very important . But the question is What is the original outlook without being distorted or deformed?
如果在這個問題上，有人可以提出多種不同詮釋，並不斷重新詮釋，把變形也說成不變形，最終"一國兩制"也是變形、走樣。
If people can propose many different interpretations and make incessant re - interpretations what has been distorted may be presented as not being distorted . Eventually one country two systems will be distorted and deformed
我們認為"一國"和"兩制"必須並重，不應偏廢。
We believe that equal importance must be attached to one country and two systems and one should be overemphasized at the expense of others
但是，過去20年來，尤其是近年，中央政府或中聯辦經常強調"一國"的重要性，有時甚至出現貶抑"兩制"傾向。
However over the past 20 years especially in recent years the Central Government or the Liaison Office of the Central Peoples Government in the HKSAR has always stressed the importance of one country and sometimes even has a tendency to belittle two systems
最近的說法令大家很擔心，中央會在多方面干預香港內部的自治事務。
It has recently been said that the Central Authorities will intervene in the autonomy of Hong Kong in various aspects . That is worrying indeed
但是，過去多次的釋法，除一次外，大部分都與《基本法》的規定並不相符。
Yet most instances of the interpretation of the Basic Law in the past with the exception of one failed to comply with the provisions of the Basic Law
