我希望日後獲得撥款的機構會好好利用撥款，為香港做出成績，特別是在金融科技的範疇上，我們需要鞏固國際金融及商業中心地位，金融科技的發展實在不容有失。
I hope the recipient bodies will make good use of the funding and accomplish achievements for Hong Kong in particular in the area of finance technology which is essential if we are to entrench Hong Kongs status as an international financial and commercial centre
要提高社會整體競爭力，教育是首要工作。
To increase the overall competitiveness of society education is the primary task
今年用於教育的開支達1,137億元，較上年度增幅高達28%，增幅之大屬近年少見。
The expenditure on education this year increases by 28 % to 113.7 billion . Such a substantial increase is rarely seen in recent years
當中，撥款20億元經常性開支、用25億元為大學提供配對補助、用25億元成立學生活動支援基金、向持續進修基金注資85億元等。
Out of the estimate 2 billion is recurrent expenditure; 2.5 billion is allocated for providing a Matching Grant Scheme to universities; 2.5 billion is allocated for the establishment of the Student Activities Support Fund; and 8.5 billion is allocated for the Continuing Education Fund
香港的教育制度確實存在不少問題，現時政府向教育撥出大量資源，如果仍然做得不好，便是教育局的過失了。
There are indeed many problems in Hong Kongs education system . Now that the Government has allocated abundant resources to education it will be the fault of the Education Bureau if it still cannot do a proper job of this
另一項重大挑戰是人口老化對醫療及福利體系的衝擊，但社會的準備工作嚴重不足，特別是醫療體系的改革實在刻不容緩。
Another major challenge is the impact of the ageing population on the health care and welfare systems . Society is ill - prepared for this particularly in terms of health care system reform which is imperative
今次預算案積極回應社會訴求，要求醫院管理局提早3年籌備第二個十年的醫院發展計劃，提早從長遠角度解決問題。
This years Budget has actively responded to public demand by requesting the Hospital Authority to start planning the second 10 - year Hospital Development Plan three years ahead of schedule addressing the problems in the long term in advance
計劃十分龐大，需要預留3,000億元撥款，如果沒有巨額盈餘作後盾，根本不能付諸實行。
The implementation of such a massive plan involving a funding of 300 billion will not be possible without the backing of a huge surplus
此外，預算案增加了60億元撥款予醫院管理局，以9億4,000萬元把大腸癌篩查先導計劃恆常化、以5億元促進中醫藥發展等。
Moreover an additional 6 billion is allocated to the Hospital Authority; 940 million is allocated for the regularization of the Colorectal Cancer Screening Pilot Programme; and 500 million is allocated for the development of Chinese medicine
以上措施反映出政府想認真解決市民最痛的醫療問題。
These measures show that the Government is intent on solving health care issues of the utmost concern to the people
可是，很多事情並非用錢可以解決，特別是醫護人手短缺的問題，即使現時加緊培訓，亦未必可以滿足社會需求。
However some problems cannot be tackled with money in particular the shortage of health care manpower . Even if the training of personnel is now sped up it may not be sufficient to meet the demand of society
我相信現在是時候深入研究如何解決醫護人手不足的問題，包括適當引入外地港人或獲國際認可的醫護人才在港行醫。
I believe it is time to study in - depth ways to tackle the shortage of health care manpower including the possibility of importing Hongkongers from overseas or internationally recognized health care professionals to practise medicine in Hong Kong
至於福利問題，預算案對此亦有很大投入。
The Budget has also invested abundant resources in social welfare
非經常性開支方面，以10億元成立樂齡及康復創科應用基金、以超過4億元延長短期食物援助服務計劃等；在經常性開支方面，以3億元增加福利界前線人員的薪酬、額外以1億6,000萬元加強院舍服務質素，加強照顧認知障礙症長者及為安老院舍提供醫生到診服務等。
In terms of non - recurrent expenditure 1 billion is allocated for setting up the Innovation and Technology Fund for Application in Elderly and Rehabilitation Care; and 400 million is allocated for extending the Short - term Food Assistance Service Projects . In terms of recurrent expenditure 300 million is allocated for increasing the salaries of frontline personnel of the welfare sector; and an additional 160 million is allocated for enhancing the service quality of residential care homes and strengthening the care for elderly persons suffering from dementia as well as providing visiting doctor services for residential care homes
這些措施落實後，一定會紓緩人口老化對社會帶來的壓力。
Upon implementation these measures will definitely alleviate the pressure exerted by the ageing population on society
香港保險業一直為香港經濟作出重大貢獻，但我們的政策較新加坡落後了最少10年。
The insurance industry has been making signification contribution to Hong Kongs economy . However our policy is at least 10 years behind Singapore
很多國際機構都選擇在新加坡落戶，甚至一些原本設於香港的公司也搬遷到新加坡，令香港保險業發展長期停滯不前。
Many international organizations have chosen to settle in Singapore while some companies which were originally located in Hong Kong have relocated to Singapore causing the insurance industry to remain at a sustained standstill
今次預算案，司長邀請了保險業監管局及業界研究如何提升香港作為保險業樞紐的競爭力，包括稅務安排和其他監管要求，我相信研究完成後，定必可以增強保險界的競爭力。
For the purpose of this Budget the Secretary has invited the Insurance Authority and the industry to examine ways such as taxation arrangements and other regulatory requirements to enhance Hong Kongs competitiveness as an insurance hub . I believe the insurance industry will be rendered more competitive after the completion of the study
此外，預算案亦接納了業界意見，以扣稅模式鼓勵市民為自己的未來做好準備，包括給予市場上所有符合規定的延期年金產品供款及強積金供款扣稅優惠。
In addition the Budget has also accepted the industry views on encouraging people to prepare for their future by means of tax deduction . Tax concession is provided to contributions to eligible deferred annuity products in the market and Mandatory Provident Fund
我相信政府善用保險處理社會老年化的問題，一定可以幫助香港市民。
I believe it will be helpful to Hong Kong people if the Government can tackle the ageing population by make good use of insurance
業界希望政府能向中央爭取，容許在香港註冊的公司可以在大灣區擁有國民待遇，降低進入門檻，成立全資保險公司。
The insurance industry also hopes to pursue development in the Area and expects the Government to seek permission from the Central Authorities to allow companies registered in Hong Kong to enjoy national treatment in the Bay Area and lower the entry threshold for setting up wholly owned insurance companies in the Bay Area
此外，香港保險業聯會亦提出"大灣區醫保通"計劃，建議容許香港或區內的保險公司，在大灣區內透過互聯網向區內居民銷售合資格和合規定的醫療及危疾保險。
Besides the Hong Kong Federation of Insurers has proposed a Bay Area medical insurance scheme . Under the proposal insurance companies in Hong Kong or in the Bay Area are permitted to market on the Internet eligible and regulated medical and illness insurance among residents in the Bay Area
這個計劃可由有公信力的機構，例如香港保險業聯會成立電子平台，供區內居民選擇合適產品，而且透過電子平台處理，便可妥善處理資金跨境流動的問題，同時產品亦受到香港法例的保障。
The scheme can be operated through an electronic platform operated by a credible organization such as the Hong Kong Federation of Insurers so that residents of the Bay Area can choose products suitable to them . An electronic platform is also an effective way to handle cross - border capital flow and the products will be protected by the laws of Hong Kong
計劃的好處是，可以加強大灣區內的商業互動，同時區內居民在1.5小時生活圈內工作，無須擔心醫療問題。
The scheme has the advantage of strengthening business interactions in the Bay Area . Meanwhile residents working in the 1.5 - hour living circle do not need to worry about health care
代理主席，今次的財政預算案其中一個最爭議的項目當然是"派錢"4,000元，預計支出113億元。
Deputy Chairman one of the most controversial items in the Budget is of course the 4,000 cash handout
當中涉及"派錢"110億元、行政費3億1,000萬元，衍生706名非公務員合約職位，行政費佔總額2.8%。
The estimated expenditure of the proposal is 11.3 billion of which 11 billion will be the cash handout and 310 million will be the administrative costs . And it will create 706 non - civil service contract positions . The administrative costs account for 2.8 % of the total amount
其實社會對今次的預算案的聲音很明顯、很清晰。
In fact the voice of society on the Budget is very clear
最近數月的虐兒案令人心痛，我們希望政府投放資源，令虐兒、家庭暴力等情況可以得到改善。
The child abuse cases in recent months are heart - breaking . We hope the Government will put in more resources to alleviate child abuse and domestic violence
最重要是要有資源。
To achieve that resource is most crucial
一間幼稚園的學生中位數大約是151人，即一位社工對4間幼稚園。
The median number of students in a kindergarten is approximately 151 meaning one social worker has to serve four kindergartens
雖然這只是個試驗計劃，但未至於要這樣吧？
It should not be this bad even though this is merely a pilot scheme
計劃是由獎券基金撥款5億400萬元，資助幼兒中心、幼兒園、幼稚園暨幼兒中心社工服務3年的試驗計劃，為15萬名學童及其家庭提供社工服務。
A funding of 504 million from the Lotteries Fund will be allocated to launch a three - year pilot scheme to provide social work services for about 150 000 children and their families in all aided child care centres kindergartens and kindergarten - cum - child care centres
我們希望這項計劃不會"到喉唔到肺"。
We hope this scheme will not be scratching the surface only
如果我們認同虐兒的情況令人心痛，是否應該要再考慮這方面的資源是否真的足夠？還是有名無實？
If we acknowledge that the child abuse cases were heart - breaking should we not reconsider whether relevant resources are adequate?
由2015年的874宗增至2017年的947宗，上升逾8%。
The number has increased by 8 % from 874 in 2015 to 947 in 2017
去年接獲0至2歲的虐兒個案有222宗，佔整體數目逾兩成。
There were 222 child abuse cases involving children aged 0 to 2 years old reported last year accounting for over 20 % of the total number
0至2歲虐兒案的受害者未必懂得求助，這點令人十分擔心。
Child abuse victims aged 0 to 2 may not know how to seek help which is very worrying
政府現時開始在防止虐兒通報機制下工夫，但說到底，我們認為要防患於未然，措施和資源很重要。
The Government is now making efforts on the child abuse notification mechanism but at the end of the day we believe measures and resources are crucial to the prevention of child abuse
另外就是已多次提及的院舍不足問題。
Another problem is the shortage of residential care homes
且不說我們不斷提出的全民退休保障，在有龐大盈餘的情況下，長者申請高額長者生活津貼仍要審查，令很多長者不能受惠。
Leaving universal retirement protection that we have been striving for aside even with the substantial surplus many elderly people still cannot benefit from the Higher Old Age Living Allowance due to the means test
同時，我們還要面對長者人數將上升20%至 130萬人，預料輪候安老院舍的人數亦會繼續上升。
Moreover the number of elderly people will increase by 20 % to 1.3 million and it is expected that the number of people on the waiting list for residential care homes will also increase
坐擁千億元盈餘的政府，是否應該多展現點誠意，撥出更多資源，在安老院舍供應上大刀闊斧，定出更多大規模的建院計劃呢？
With a surplus of hundreds of billions of dollars in hand should the Government not demonstrate some sincerity by allocating more resources to draw up large - scale construction plans of residential care homes for the elderly?
這個留給政府深思，民間的聲音亦很清晰。
This is left to the Government to ponder yet the popular voice on this is very clear
這是"明知不可為而為之"，因為修正案當然無法通過，但我們不能夠再任由漁農自然護理署只以人道毀滅來處理動物問題。
The amendment is seeking the impossible as it certainly cannot be passed . However we can no longer allow the Agriculture Fisheries and Conservation Department AFCD to handle animal problems with euthanasia only
較早前立法會曾討論動物權益，這或許不是非常惹人關注的議題，但我們對香港人有信心，香港人亦開始對政府的財政運用非常有觸覺。
The issue of animal rights was discussed in the Legislative Council earlier . It might not be a topic of popular concern but we have confidence in the people of Hong Kong who have begun to be very sensitive to the use of public finances
我們看到原來漁護署去年人道毀滅了1,478隻狗和381隻貓，漁護署覺得用這種最簡單的方法處理貓狗沒有問題。
We can see that last year 1 478 dogs and 381 cats were euthanized by AFCD which considers using this simplistic method to handle cats and dogs just fine
我們削減開支，是希望香港最終朝向真正尊重動物生命的方向，用更好、更有人性的方法處理所謂的動物問題。
We proposed to reduce the expenditure in the hope that Hong Kong will eventually respect the lives of animals and better handle the so - called animal problem more humanely
" 字面上似乎問題不大，但再看看當中的細節，政府預留了30億元予科技園公司興建科研基建和設施，當中原來包括了動物實驗室。
It seems fine at a glance but if we look at the breakdown of the 3 billion allocated to HKSTPC for the construction of scientific research - related infrastructure and facilities the facilities to be constructed include an animal laboratory which is less heard of
於是，我們嘗試尋找資料。
So we have tried to look up relevant information
據政府的資料顯示，2013年至2016年約有1,700隻狗和1,300隻貓被用作動物實驗，數字非常驚人，但我們以往好像很少接觸到這個資訊。
According to the Governments information about 1 700 dogs and 1 300 cats were used in experiments on animals from 2013 to 2016 much to our horror . We were seldom privy to this type of information in the past
在2018-2019年度的預算案裏，政府預留的30億元就包括了動物實驗室。我們實在希望政府可以披露更多資料，這究竟是甚麼一回事？
As the 3 billion earmarked in the 2018 - 2019 Budget covers an animal laboratory indeed we hope the Government can disclose more information on the matter
政府有否聽到市民的聲音呢？
Has the Government listened to peoples voices?
我現在扼要回應如下： 與2017-2018年度修訂預算的658億元比較，政府在2018-2019年度投放於社會福利及婦女事務的經常開支預算為798億元，增加達140億元，即增加21.3%。
I will give a concise response as follows . Compared with the 65.8 billion of revised estimate in 2017 - 2018 the estimated recurrent expenditure allocated by the Government to social welfare and woman matters rose to 79.8 billion representing an increase of 14 billion or 21.3 %
單是增加社工人手，來年新增職位便有1,200個。
There will be 1 200 additional posts over the next year to boost the manpower of social workers alone
即使財政司司長可以為福利服務再增撥資源，勞工及福利局和社會福利署亦不能變魔術，在未來一年內變多幾間安老院或數以百計額外專業人手。
Even if the Financial Secretary can allocate more resources to welfare the Labour and Welfare Bureau and the Social Welfare Department will not be able to do any magic trick conjuring up a couple of residential care homes for the elderly or hundreds of additional professional workers within the next year
立法會最近發表研究，指出安老服務佔整體社會福利開支並沒有明顯增加，結論是我們的安老服務發展緩慢，我對於採用這個數字作出分析有點疑惑。
A research report recently published by the Legislative Council highlighted the lack of a significant increase in expenditure on elderly services as a percentage of the overall welfare expenditure and thus concluded that the development of our welfare services had been slow . I am a bit skeptical about using that figure as the basis for such an analysis
有議員提出把免經濟審查的高齡津貼的年齡下限由70歲放寬至65歲。
Some Members suggested that the minimum age limit for receiving the non - means - tested Old Age Allowance should be relaxed being lowered from 70 to 65
根據政府統計處的推算，70歲或以上長者人口將由2016年的約77萬，上升至2036年的約186萬；至2066年，人數更達218萬，即為2016年的3倍左右。
According to projection by the Census and Statistics Department the number of elderly persons aged 70 or above is set to increase from 770 000 in 2016 to about 1.86 million in 2036 and to 2.18 million in 2066 which is about three times the figure of 2016
大家可以想象，1978年當香港政府將高齡津貼的年齡定在70歲或以上時，當年的人均壽命約為74歲；2017年的人均壽命則約為84歲。
Imagine the situation in 1978 when the age requirement for receiving OAA was set at 70 or above by the Government of Hong Kong . The average life expectancy back then was about 74 years whereas in 2017 that figure was about 84 years
我們今天如要考慮調整高齡津貼的年齡要求，究竟應該是把門檻降低5歲，還是上調10歲呢？
If we were to consider an adjustment of the age requirement for receiving OAA today should we lower the age threshold by five years or raise it by 10 years?
當然，政府現時沒有任何計劃調整高齡津貼的年齡要求。
The Government of course has no plans to adjust the age requirement for OAA at the moment
在殘疾人士服務方面，和各位議員一樣，我們十分重視對殘疾人士的支援。
As regards services for persons with disabilities we attach great importance to support provided for them just like all Members here
在2018-2019年度相關財政預算的經常開支增加約15%，即增撥約4億5,000萬元，增加2,469個資助康復服務名額。
The relevant estimated recurrent expenditure budgeted for 2018 - 2019 saw an increase of around 15 % or some 450 million in additional provision with 2 469 more places for subverted rehabilitation services on offer
在保護兒童方面，政府會透過獎券基金撥款約5億400萬元，在2018-2019學年推出為期3年的先導計劃，分階段為所有資助幼兒中 心、幼稚園及幼稚園暨幼兒中心的學童及其家庭提供社工服務。
Insofar as child protection is concerned the Government will allocate some 504 million from the Lotteries Fund to launch for the 2018 - 2019 school year a three - year pilot scheme to provide social work services in phases for children and their families in all aided child care centres kindergartens and kindergarten - cum - child care centres
政府會向業界諮詢推行社工服務的可行方案，詳情有待落實。
Implementation details are yet to be finalized pending consultation with the sector on feasible options for the roll - out of social work services
不少議員提出，鑒於個別行業長期人手不足，面對招聘困難，政府應放寬輸入勞工的限制。
Quite a few Members pointed out that in view of the recruitment difficulties faced by individual sectors suffering from a chronic shortage of manpower the Government should relax restrictions on labour importation
我明白這個課題極具爭議，政府相關政策局及部門會繼續密切留意不同行業的人手供求情況，並加強培訓及吸引新人入行。
I understand that this is an issue of great contention . The relevant Policy Bureaux and departments of the Government will continue to closely monitor the manpower demand and supply for different sectors strengthen training initiatives and attract new entrants to the sectors
在確保本地工人優先就業的大前提下，政府會與持份者探討適度和有規限地增加輸入勞工，例如在安老院舍服務照顧員方面，以紓緩相關人手短缺的情況。
On the premise of according priority in employment to local workers the Government will explore with stakeholders the possibility of increasing imported labour such as carers for elderly care homes on an appropriate and limited scale to relieve the manpower shortage of individual sectors
就改善勞工權益方面，政府已建議將法定侍產假的日數由現時3天增至5天。
In respect of improving labour rights the Government has proposed to increase the duration of paternity leave from three days to five days
我們亦正檢討法定產假，在兼顧企業負擔能力下，就檢討結果諮詢勞工顧問委員會。
The statutory maternity leave is now under review and the result having regard to the affordability of enterprises will be submitted to the Labour Advisory Board for consultation
就取消遣散費及長期服務金與僱主的強制性公積金供款的"對沖"問題，相信大家都知道，政府已提出初步構思。
On the issue of abolishing the arrangement for offsetting severance payment and long service payment with Mandatory Provident Fund MPF contributions of employers the Government has already set out a preliminary proposal as Members may well know
我想強調，今屆政府既有能力也有決心，解決取消強積金"對沖"的問題，早日敲定取消"對沖"安排的方案，盡快進行所需的立法工作，結束這個已困擾多年的問題。
I wish to stress that the current - term Government has both the ability and resolve to address the problem of abolishing the MPF offsetting mechanism finalize early a proposal for abolishing the offsetting arrangement and expeditiously conduct the necessary legislative exercise for a resolution to this perennial problem that has been plaguing us
最後，我想感謝議員對鼓勵婦女和少數族裔投入勞工市場及對持續進修基金改善措施的關注。
Lastly I wish to thank Members for their concerns over the issue of encouraging the participation of women and ethnic minorities in the labour force and over measures for improving the Continuing Education Fund
我在此不重複來年的相關措施。
I will not repeat the relevant measures in store for the next year
主席，我謹此陳辭，懇請各位議員支持《2018年撥款條例草案》。
With these remarks President I implore Members to support the Appropriation Bill 2018
主席，今年的財政預算案有不少篇幅提到加大對文化體育的投資。
President a considerable part of this years Budget speech is devoted to increasing the investment in culture and sports
在文化藝術方面，我們的願景是發展香港成為一個國際文化都會，並為香港藝術界開創更多內地及海外的文化交流機會。
On the arts and culture front our vision is to develop Hong Kong into an international cultural metropolis and create more cultural exchange opportunities in the Mainland and overseas for the local art community
為達成此願景，政府將會大力加強對香港藝團的財政支援，向9個主要藝團增加約一成的經常性資助及香港藝術發展局約三成撥款。
To accomplish this vision the Government will strengthen the financial support to Hong Kongs arts groups . The recurrent provision to nine major arts groups will be increased by about 10 % and the funding allocated to the Hong Kong Arts Development Council will be increased by about 30 %
政府非常支持香港藝團到內地及海外作文化交流，成為香港的文化大使。
The Government fully supports Hong Kongs arts groups to conduct cultural exchanges in the Mainland and overseas and act as cultural ambassadors of Hong Kong
事實上，政府將會逐步增加經常撥款至每年5,000萬元，協助香港藝團對外文化交流，這筆撥款可以用於內地及海外進行交流。
In fact the Government will progressively increase the recurrent provision to 50 million to support Hong Kongs arts groups in conducting outbound cultural exchanges . The provision can be used for exchanges in the Mainland and overseas
另外，財政預算案亦提供1億4,000萬元，支援本地藝團和藝術家在大灣區進行文化交流，是未來5年的撥款總額。
Besides the Budget has also allocated 140 million to support local arts groups and artists to conduct cultural exchanges in the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Bay Area . The amount is to be used in the next five years
粵港澳大灣區和香港人文相通，是香港藝團向外發展自然不過的理想市場。近年區內更多符合國際標準的新表演場地陸續建成，如珠海大劇院和廣州大劇院，很自然對香港的藝團會有一定的吸引力。
Performance venues meeting international standards to be gradually completed in the area in recent years such as the Zhuhai Opera House and the Guangzhou Opera House may attract Hong Kongs arts groups to a certain degree
事實上，本地藝團正開展這方面的發展，政府可起促進者的作用。
As a matter of fact local arts groups are venturing into the area and the Government can play the role of a facilitator in this regard
香港的文化設施，除了西九文化區的場地陸續落成外，九龍東的文化中心正在興建，新界東的文化中心亦正在策劃，位於新界西的文物修復資源中心亦在立法會有待議員的審批。
Insofar as local cultural facilities are concerned the venues in the West Kowloon Culture District will be completed one after another whereas the East Kowloon Cultural Centre is under construction and the New Territories East Cultural Centre is under planning
原來有數十年歷史的香港大會堂和香港文化中心等亦需要提升和優化。
Meanwhile the Heritage Conservation and Resource Centre in New Territories West is pending Members approval in the Legislative Council while the Hong Kong City Hall and the Hong Kong Cultural Centre with decades of history require upgrades and enhancements
我注意到議員和公眾對於預留200億元在未來10年改善及增建文化設施表示十分支持。
I have noticed that Members and the public are very supportive of the Governments proposal to earmark 20 billion for the enhancement and development of cultural facilities in the next 10 years
在體育發展方面，政府會繼續推動香港的體育發展，落實普及化、精英化和盛事化三大政策目標。
In terms of sports development the Government will continue to promote sports development in Hong Kong under the policy objectives of promoting sports in the community supporting elite sports and developing Hong Kong into a prime destination for hosting major international sports events
政府將向精英運動員發展基金合共注資60億元，為精英運動員提供更強支援，亦會向藝術及體育發展基金注資10億元，加強資助體育團體訓練運動員和舉辦賽事。
The Government will inject a total of 6 billion into the Elite Athletes Development Fund so as to provide greater support for elite athletes . Another 1 billion will be injected into the sports portion of the Arts and Sport Development Fund to support sports organizations in the training of athletes and hosting competitions
政府將會撥款1億元開展為期5年的地區體育活動資助計劃，鼓勵地區體育團體利用其區內網絡舉辦更多體育活動，亦提供3億元為體育總會推行訓練計劃和推廣活動，並撥款5億元推行體育盛事配對資助計劃，藉此鼓勵更多商界支持和贊助大型體育賽事。
The Government will allocate 100 million for the launch of a five - year District Sports Programmes Funding Scheme in order to encourage the organization of more sports events by district sports associations making use of their community networks and 300 million for training programmes and promotional activities by sports associations . The Government will also allocate 500 million for the Major Sports Events Matching Grant Scheme to encourage the business sector to support and sponsor large - scale sports events
上述在軟件上的支援，配合啟德體育園的興建，以及18區中26項康體項目的建設，與15項康體項目的策劃，再加上利用學校場地課餘時間進行體育推廣的開展，我們希望推動香港的體育事業未來有更大的發展。
With the aforementioned software support combined with the construction of the Kai Tak Sports Park as well as the construction of 26 and planning of 15 sports facilities in 18 districts plus the promotion of sports at school venues after school hours we hope to further promote the development of sports in Hong Kong in the future
我們亦會致力推動香港成為體育盛事之都，並協助我們的精英運動員繼續在國際體壇大放異采，更把體育活動普及至社區，惠及市民。
We are also committed to developing Hong Kong as a prime destination for hosting major international sports events supporting our elite athletes to achieve outstanding results in the international sports arena and popularizing sports in the community for the benefit of the public
另一方面，有關青年發展的工作。政府一直致力推動及優化各項目，使青年人可在不同角度，拓闊視野。
As regards youth development the Government has always been committed to promoting and improving various projects on this front so that young people can broaden their horizons from different perspectives
國家的發展一日千里，在世界的舞台舉足輕重，讓香港年輕一代更多了解國情，認識國家的發展，是正確的方向。
With its rapid development the country is playing a significant role in the world . It is therefore the right direction to let the young generation of Hong Kong know more about the situation and development of the country
在實習方面，來年除了讓更多青年參與內地實習之外，政府亦致力安排更多海外實習機會，名額除內地外更遍及7個海外國家。
Apart from internships in the Mainland the Government will also endeavour to arrange more overseas internship opportunities for young people in the coming year . Internship opportunities will be extended to cover seven foreign countries in addition to the Mainland
我們亦繼續加強國際青年交流工作，並不斷增撥資源推動有關工作，包括在去年預留1億元推行國際青年交流資助計劃。
We will also strengthen international youth exchange by allocating additional resources . Last year 100 million was earmarked for implementing the Funding Scheme for International Youth Exchange
至今年度起，我們會合併國際青年交流資助計劃和"一帶一路"交流資助計劃，以更有效地善用資源，提供更多國際青年交流機會。
Starting from this year the Funding Scheme for International Youth Exchange and the Funding Scheme for Exchange in Belt and Road Countries will be merged to ensure more effective use of resources and more international youth exchange opportunities
