事實上，這樣做讓公眾有所質疑，其實這個情況對司法機構本身亦不太好，令市民存有法官會否在這方面受到優待的印象。
In fact this practice will arouse public query and it will also do no good to the Judiciary as the public may have an impression that the judge in question has received favourable treatment
因此，檢討投訴法官操守及行為的機制，相信有助挽回公眾對司法機構的信任，並鞏固司法機構維護法治的形象。
For that reason I believe that a review on the existing mechanism for handling complaints against judges is conducive to restoring public confidence in the Judiciary and consolidating the image of the Judiciary in upholding the rule of law
不過，代理主席，我對首席法官或特區政府最近在不同的場合上，表示拒絕研究設立量刑委員會，我總感到有點失望。
Nevertheless Deputy President I am disappointed by the recent remarks made by the Chief Justice or officials of the SAR Government on various occasions that they would not consider setting up a sentencing commission or council
其實我們過去的時間，切切實實看到很多"黑暴"的刑事檢控案件中，一些裁決或量刑往往出現令人百思不得其解的情況，例如沒有阻嚇性或令人覺得法官是否在縱容這些暴力行為發生等。
Actually we have been baffled by the judgments and sentencing decisions in some criminal prosecution cases related to black - clad riots in the past as some of them lacked deterrent effect or made the public wonder if the relevant judge was conniving at those violent behaviours
我想在此呼籲司法機構，其實所謂要求研究設立量刑委員會，並非我們自己發明的事，大家也知道很多西方國家，不論是普通法系統的國家或者其他法律系統的國家，其實過去也有設立量刑委員會的經驗，我認為可以參考一下。
I wish to urge the Judiciary that the request for setting up a sentencing commission or council is actually not something invented by us . Members should know that in many Western countries no matter whether they adopt common law system or otherwise many of them actually have the experience of setting up their own sentencing commissions or councils thus I consider we should make reference to their experience
這些國 家和地區非常重視司法獨立，因為他們相信設立量刑委員會並不會削弱任何司法獨立。
These countries and regions attach great importance to judicial independence and they believe the setting up of a sentencing commission or council will not compromise judicial independence
我們看到英國、美國或愛爾蘭也有設立量刑委員會，其實也是為了量刑處理可以更確切、明確和一致，讓公眾更信服量刑的道理、更信服司法機構的公證性。
We can see that the United Kingdom the United States or Ireland have all set up their own sentencing commissions or councils . In fact in so doing the sentencing can be made more definitive unequivocal and consistent and members of the public will be more convinced of the rationale behind the sentencing and the impartiality of the Judiciary
所以，我希望在此表達這方面的意見。
For that reason these are my views I wish to express on this issue
代理主席，我只想就量刑委員會補充多一點。
Deputy President I wish to add one more point about the setting up of a sentencing commission or council
現時司法機構當然有透過上級法庭頒布量刑指引，不過我想指出的是，每次等到一些案件出現，往往交到上級法庭處理上訴，其實已是經年累月，最低限度也要花上數年時間，老實說，並非能夠適時應對這些情況。
At present of course the Judiciary will promulgate sentencing guidelines through a higher court but I wish to point out that after an appeal is taken to a higher court it will take years to complete at least it will take several years . Frankly speaking this arrangement cannot address the problem on a timely basis
所以，如果參考量刑委員會的做法，或許可以解決到這個問題。
Therefore if we make reference to the setting up of a sentencing commission or council perhaps the problem can be resolved
我注意到社會上其實一直有非常強烈的聲音，特別是公職人員我指的是區議會議員更應盡快進行宣誓，因為區議員作為公職人員，我看不到他們有何理由不需要宣誓、不需要擁護《基本法》、不需要效忠中華人民共和國香港特別行政區，我認為不用他們宣誓，根本說不過去。
I have noted a consistently strong voice in society that public officers in particular―I mean District Council members―should take the oath as soon as practicable because I fail to see why District Council members in their capacity as public officers should not be required to take oath to uphold the Basic Law and pledge allegiance to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China . I consider there is no justification for not requiring them to take the oath . We just want the Government to expeditiously clarify matters and get to the bottom of things
我希望政府能夠盡快正本清源，如果這些胡作非為的區議員拒絕宣誓，或者宣誓後發現他們其實根本是"發誓當食生菜"、有違誓情況的話，那便請他們盡快離開這個崗位。
If these unruly District Council members refuse to take the oath or they do not take their oath seriously or they are found breaching their oath they should be asked to leave their offices
最近甚至有民間團體發起訂定關於區議員的監誓委員會，已經開始有不少市民響應考慮設立所謂的區議員監誓委員會，其實正正反映了市民對監察區議員撥亂反正的明確要求。
Recently some members of the public have already advocated the setting up of a committee to monitor how some District Council members will act according to their oath . The fact that many people have favourably responded to the setting up of such a committee shows their unequivocal demand for monitoring the performance of some District Council members with a view to bringing order out of chaos
代理主席，在施政報告發表後，其實大家都希望香港的經濟能夠就施政報告的發表而可以得到改善。
Deputy President following the release of the Policy Address actually everyone hopes that the economy of Hong Kong can be improved with the initiatives announced in the Policy Address
不過，疫情反而越來越嚴重，令整個社會陷入一個非常嚴重的狀態，大家要想辦法如何戰勝這場疫戰。
However the pandemic is getting more serious and the whole community has come to a very critical situation . We have to find ways to win this pandemic battle
疫情的影響亦都令我們要就各方面加強思考，現時失業率已高達6.6%，而財政司司長經常說，財政儲備只餘下8,000億元，即儲備有限，要通過財政手段以支援一些受疫情影響的人，是困難重重的。
Under the impact of the pandemic we have to give more consideration to various aspects . At present the unemployment rate has already climbed to 6.6 % and the Financial Secretary always says that there is only 800 billion left in our fiscal reserves meaning that our reserves are limited . If we are to support those people affected by the pandemic through fiscal means it will be full of difficulties
在這種情況下，我們究竟如何走下去呢？
Under the circumstances how do we move forward?
我們相信，要戰勝疫情才能夠令整個社會有出路。
We believe that the whole community can have its way out only after winning the pandemic fight
最近，大家都說要注射疫苗，認為通過注射疫苗，可以逐步改善甚至戰勝這場疫戰。
Everyone has been talking about vaccination lately and we think that through vaccination we can gradually improve the situation and can even win this pandemic battle
許多專家表示，如果能夠有七成市民注射疫苗，便會對紓緩疫情的影響有幫助。
Many experts say that 70 % of the population have to be vaccinated in order to alleviate the impact of the pandemic
但是，我們未看到政府在這方面有何具體措施，以及如何鼓勵市民注射疫苗。
Nevertheless we have yet to see any specific measures from the Government in this aspect for encouraging vaccination among the public
最 近，我看到一項調查的數字顯示，如果強制注射疫苗，大約有九成人支持。
I notice from the findings of a recent survey that roughly 90 % of the respondents were in support of mandatory vaccination
如果真的是這樣，政府不妨推行強制注射疫苗。
If this is really so the Government may just as well launch a mandatory vaccination programme
疫情過後究竟會怎樣？
What will the post - pandemic situation be?
如果我們還是考慮如何恢復旅遊業，如何加強金融或航運業，這樣對香港的經濟又會有多大幫助？
If we are still considering how to revive the tourism industry and how to enhance the financial industry or the maritime industry how helpful will this be to the Hong Kong economy?
我可以這樣說，如果我們加強或恢復原來的產業，我們只是恢復舊香港的經濟，並不能夠對香港的新動力及經濟動力有更大的幫助。
I can say that if we have strengthened or revived the original industries we will only be restoring the old economy of Hong Kong but cannot help much in injecting new impetus or power into our economy
最近，我們都知道國家對香港的發展已經有一個定位，提出了一項名為創新科技的發展計劃，特別是加強香港與深圳、與大灣區之間的合作，這都是國家就大灣區發展中提出的一個非常重要的概念。
As we are cognizant the country has lately confirmed Hong Kongs positioning in the development . It has proposed an innovation and technology development plan under which the cooperation between Hong Kong and Shenzhen as well as between Hong Kong and the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area GBA will be enhanced . This is a very significant concept proposed by the country for the development of GBA
但是，香港如何在疫後改善及提振我們的經濟呢？這方面似乎還是流於一個程序。
However how is Hong Kong going to improve and revive our economy after the pandemic? . In this respect it seems that our efforts are reduced to a mere procedure
例如我們現時有一名粵港澳大灣區發展專員，但這名專員只是做一些聯繫工作，如果我們有困難可以找他，他亦會將資料交給我們。
For instance we now have a Commissioner for the Development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area but this Commissioner is dedicated to only some liaison work . Whenever we encounter any difficulties we can ask him for help and he will provide us with some relevant information
究竟我們與大灣區的關係是甚麼？
What really is our relationship with GBA?
然而，最大的問題是，香港現時缺乏土地，大灣區很多企業要來香港發展，究竟是否有足夠土地可提供給他們？
Nonetheless the biggest problem now is the shortage of land in Hong Kong . A lot of enterprises in GBA want to come to Hong Kong for development but is there enough land for them?
現時說發展"明日大嶼"，但要到2030年後才有土地供應，河套區也要到2026年才正式可以逐步供社會使用。
We now talk about the development project of Lantau Tomorrow Vision but the land to be reclaimed will not be available until after 2030 . And the land from the Lok Ma Chau Loop can only be formally and gradually available for use by our society from 2026 onwards
這樣足以證明，香港其實要發展新經濟並不容易，亦未做好足夠準備。
This can sufficiently prove that while it actually is not easy for Hong Kong to develop new economy Hong Kong is also not readily prepared
所以，我覺得最重要的是要有一個新開拓。
Hence I think what is most important is to have a new mode of development
這除了是拖延實施60歲銀齡一族的2元乘車優惠措施外，政府亦開始退縮，可能是怕長者優惠措施令財政負擔急升而導致要定期檢討。
Apart from procrastinating the implementation of the 2 Scheme to the silver - age group between 60 and 64 years old the Government getting cold feet also calls for a regular review on it possibly for fear that this elderly concessionary measure will render the fiscal burden much heavier
日前，羅局長更表示可能會把2元乘車優惠加至3元，這等於是削減優惠，亦是削減長者福利。
Recently Secretary Dr LAW Chi - kwong even said that the concessionary fare of 2 per trip might be increased to 3 per trip . This is tantamount to cutting the concession as well as slashing the welfare for the elderly
政府要解決財政負擔的問題，便應該盡快解決新冠肺炎疫情問題，待社會回復正常後能夠提供更多長者福利，而不是要現在削減長者福利。
In order to address the fiscal burden issue the Government should quickly resolve the COVID - 19 problem and provide more elderly welfare when the community is back to normal instead of slashing elderly welfare at this moment
此外，政府亦表示要在有效打擊及防止濫用的大前提下，逐步落實有關措施。
Besides the Government also says that on the premise of being able to combat and prevent abuse effectively the measure concerned will be implemented progressively
既然政府畏首畏尾，沒有誠意推行，為甚麼政府和行政長官去年卻大鑼大鼓地提出？
Given that the Government is overcautious and in lack of sincerity in this measure why did the Government and the Chief Executive introduce it with great fanfare last year?
這反而令人覺得政府是在未有詳細研究政策的可行性前，就隨便向公眾開出期票，這種拖拖拉拉的做法，市民實在難以接受。
People would think that the Government was making an undertaking arbitrarily before a detailed study on the feasibility of the policy had been conducted . This kind of procrastinating approach is really unacceptable to the public
政府的做法實在令人匪夷所思。
The Governments approach is outrageous
但很可惜，政府做事龜速，又要找顧問，又要與八達通卡有限公司商討，蹉跎歲月，到今時今日才公布最快要13個月後才能實施此項措施。
However it is very unfortunate that the Government is slow to act . After spending a lot of time looking for a consultant and discussing with the Octopus Cards Limited it is not until now that the Government announces that the soonest possible time for implementing this measure is 13 months later
請問政府部門是否不懂得自己計算，完全沒有任何頭緒，一定要找顧問公司才會處理事情呢？
May I ask whether the government departments concerned have no capability to do the calculations themselves and have no ideas whatsoever but must deal with the matters through a consultancy firm?
這只不過是擴展一項已推行的公共政策，為甚麼由公布至落實要花兩年多至三年時間？
This is a mere expansion of an established public policy . How come the period from the announcement to the implementation of the policy will be as long as two to three years?
政府是有需要向市民交代原因的。
It is necessary for the Government to explain the reasons to the public
主席，這匪夷所思的情況，不單發生在2元乘車優惠計劃。
President this ridiculous situation does not only happen to the 2 Scheme
行政長官去年年初亦提出了10項民生政策，當中有關支援失業及就業不足的兩項政策早已爛尾。
Early last year the Chief Executive proposed 10 livelihood policies but among them two policies for supporting the unemployed and the underemployed fell through long ago
我們期望當局能盡快兌現承諾，不要再開期票。
We wish that the authorities can deliver on their promises very soon and will not pay lip service anymore
主席，政府在施政上除了要有長遠規劃外，亦要對社會緊急情況下的服務有所規劃。
President apart from having long - term planning in administration the Government also needs planning on the services to cope with emergencies in the community
今年在新冠肺炎疫情影響下，不少福利服務院舍未能提供服務，迫使照顧的責任全部轉至家人身上。
This year under the impact of COVID - 19 many welfare service institutions are unable to provide services and thus the responsibility of taking care of those in need has to be shifted to family members
去年，不時有倫常慘劇發生，大多涉及照顧殘障子女的家庭，其實這些家庭的壓力非常大。
Last year family tragedies happened from time to time and most of them involved families that need to take care of children with disabilities . In fact these families are under tremendous pressure
有些家庭居住環境擠迫，家人缺乏照顧技巧，所以需要院舍服務，在照顧壓力爆煲的情況下，很容易會發生不開心的事件。
Some families need institutional services because they live in cramped conditions or their family members are in lack of caring skills . If they are excessively stressed out unpleasant incidents will easily happen
我希望勞工及福利局可以與業界商討，做好特殊情況下的服務規劃。
I hope that the Labour and Welfare Bureau can discuss with the sector and has a good planning on the provision of services for special circumstances
主席，政府一直強調安老服務應該以居家安老及持續照顧為基本原則，即是盡量協助長者留在社區安享晚年，一些較為體弱而需要別人照顧的長者，在別無選擇下才需要入住院舍。
President the Government has been emphasizing ageing in the community and continuum of care as the basic principles of elderly services . This means elderly persons should be assisted as much as possible in enjoying their twilight years in the community whereas those who are physically weaker and need care from other people having no other alternatives will have to stay in residential care homes
據我所知，很多長者都希望可以居家安老，如非必要也不願意入住院舍。
As far as I know many elderly persons prefer ageing in the community to staying in residential care homes unless it is really necessary
因此，我十分認同政府的原則和方向，但政府推行這些政策已經一段時間，在執行上卻有很多"甩漏"，令人有些沮喪。
Hence I very much agree with the principles and direction of the Government . Nevertheless these policies were already introduced by the Government some time ago and many flaws have been detected during implementation . This is somewhat frustrating
首先，既然政府鼓勵長者居家安老，那麼在社會提供的照顧支援服務就必然要做得全面。
First of all since the Government encourages the elderly to age in the community the community care and support services should be comprehensively provided
令人遺憾的是，現時各項社區照顧服務都是恆常由護理員上門照顧，無論服務質素及質量亦不及格。
It is regrettable that the various community care services which are constantly provided by carers at the residence of the elderly persons are not up to standard in both quality and quantity
根據社會福 利署的資料顯示，截至去年年底，輪候資助長者社區照顧服務的長者有8,082人，平均輪候時間為12個月。
According to the information of the Social Welfare Department SWD as at the end of last year 8 082 elderly persons were waiting for subsidized community care services for the elderly and the average waiting time was 12 months
他們可能只是需要一些簡單的照顧服務，例如幫忙洗澡或送飯等，但竟然也要等待1年，長者根本沒可能等那麼久。
They may only need some simple caring services such as some help with showers or meal delivery but they need to wait for one year . Basically the elderly cannot wait that long
大家也知道，長者的身體狀況轉變得相當快，稍一不慎身體便有可能在短時間內嚴重惡化。
We are all cognizant of the fast changing physical conditions of the elderly . With any inadvertent negligence their health conditions may deteriorate very rapidly
長者可能本身只需要一項簡單的支援服務，但由於無法在短時間內得到，於是便發生了意外，令到他的健康加速惡化。
In some cases an elderly person might only need a simple item of supporting service but he could not receive the service within a short period of time during which an accident happened and his health condition thus deteriorated more rapidly
舉例來說，長者本來可能只需要有人幫忙提供洗澡服務，但由於自己不小心在浴室滑倒撞斷腳骨，結果便需要入住院舍，由別人全天候照顧。
For instance an elderly person might only need a carers service of helping him to take a shower but when this service could not be provided and he had to do it himself he carelessly slipped on the floor in the bathroom and broke his leg . As a result he needed to be admitted to a residential care home and be under the round - the - clock care of carers
以上個案說明了，長者本身是想避免太早入住院舍，但由於社區服務的斷層，長者提早發生跌傷意外，令照顧資源更加昂貴，增加了長期護理服務的成本。
The above case tells that the elderly try to avoid being admitted to residential care homes too early but due to the gaps in the provision of community services accidents such as tripping over which have happened earlier to them resulting in more expensive caring resources and higher costs in long - term care services
主席，願意居家安老的長者輪候很久也等不到社區服務，主要原因便是服務單位不足。
President it is mainly due to insufficient service units that many elderly persons though willing to age in the community are unable to receive community services after waiting for a very long time
截至去年年底，全港只有60支綜合家居照顧服務隊。
As at the end of last year there are only 60 Integrated Home Care Services Teams throughout the territory
在服務名額方面，雖然當局計劃在今年內增加體弱個案的名額，但總家居照顧服務名額合共只有13,000多個，而現時全港80歲以上長者大約有35萬人，粗略計算，服務供應率只有3.7%，請問政府對於這比率又是否滿意呢？
In terms of service places even though the authorities have a plan to increase the number of places for frail cases within this year the total number of home care service places is just over 13 000 when there are approximately 350 000 elderly persons aged 80 or above in the whole territory . The service provision rate roughly calculated is only 3.7 % . May I ask the Government whether it is satisfied with this rate?
現時，政府推展長者社區照顧服務券試驗計劃，是採用"錢跟人走"的資助模式，合資格長者可以因應個人需要，使用社區照顧服務券選擇合適的服務。
At present under the Pilot Scheme on Community Care Service Voucher for the Elderly introduced by the Government eligible elderly persons may use community care service vouchers to choose the services that suit their individual needs under the money - following - the - user mode
此項措施推出了7年有多，認可的服務單位多達227個，社區券持有人亦有6,700名，但服務其實一直也備受爭議。
This measure has been launched for seven - odd years with as many as 227 recognized service units and 6 700 CCS voucher holders . However the services concerned have actually been controversial
有團體指出，不少社區券持有人根本未能得到想要的服務，亦有人指共同付款的模式會令部分長者卻步，再加上計劃的質素監管亦都差強人意。
Some organizations point out that not a few CCS voucher holders basically cannot receive the services that they ask for . Some people also say that the co - payment model will deter the elderly from using the vouchers and the quality supervision of the Scheme is also far from satisfactory
香港老齡人口眾多，社區照顧模式應該百花齊放，以照顧不同人士的需要。
Given that Hong Kong has a swelling elderly population there should be diversified modes of community care to cope with the needs of different people
政府提供多項照顧模式的原意是好的，但政府的政策執行卻模糊不清。
Although the intention of the Government in providing various modes of care is good there is ambiguity in the execution of its policies
首先，社區券的設立是基於共同付款原則，所以使用社區券的長者或稍有經濟能力，他們會期望服務有較好質素，以及有另一些種類的資助服務。
First of all the introduction of CCS vouchers is based on the co - payment principle . Therefore the elderly persons who use CCS vouchers may have better financial capacity and will thus expect to have better service quality and other categories of subsidized services
換句話說，不論服務對象或提供服務的單位，也應該是全新及有別於現行機制的類別。
In other words no matter in terms of service targets or service providing units they should be brand new and different from the categories of the existing mechanism
所以，社區券的發展不應該被視為資助服務的替代品。
Hence CCS vouchers should not be developed into a substitute to subvented services
現實的情況是，長者要經過統一評估機制後，便可以輪候一般資助社區照顧服務；同時，如果被機構評定為合資格的人士並獲得機構邀請，長者就可以同時選擇使用社區券。
In reality the elderly persons have to go through a standardized assessment mechanism before they can wait for the general subsidized community care services . At the same time if the elderly persons are assessed to be eligible and invited by the institution they can also choose to use CCS vouchers
至於服務提供者，他們可以同時提供由社署資助的家居 服務及社區券的服務。
As regards service providers they can provide the home care services subsidized by SWD as well as the services related to CCS vouchers
據悉，有不少單位由於人手不足，服務隊伍經常要兩面兼顧。
It is learnt that owing to manpower shortage in the service providing units the service teams always have to take care of both sides of the services
簡單而言，不論是使用者或服務提供者，都涉及兩方面的服務，社會公眾又怎能夠清楚地掌握政策背後的原意和理念，試問政策又怎會有良好發展呢？
In brief no matter service users or service providers they are also involved in both sides of the services . In that case how can the community clearly grasp the original intention and concept behind the policy and how can the policy develop nicely?
社會照顧服務的另一個重要項目，就是長者住宿暫託服務。
Another important item under community care service is the Residential Respite Service for Elderly Persons
這種服務最重要就是要支援與長者同住的家人，使他們有暫時喘息的空間和時間。
It serves the main objective of supporting the family members living together with elderly persons so that the former can have some breathing space and time
但無奈地，現時支援照顧者的配套相當不足，提供暫託服務的長者日間護理中心只有44間，合共192個資助暫託名額，即使再加上買位計劃下的341個院舍暫託宿位，總數也只有533個，這個宿位數目連只服務元朗區也不足夠，更何況是服務全香港呢？
But sadly the current facilities for supporting carers are rather insufficient with only 44 day care centres for the elderly providing respite service and a total of 192 subvented respite service places . Even with the addition of 341 respite service places of residential care homes under the Enhanced Bought Place Scheme the total number of places is merely 533 which is not enough for serving a single Yuen Long district let alone serving the entire Hong Kong
不少照顧者願意犧牲個人時間及工作兼顧照顧老人家的責任，一直都要承受社會資源配套不足，生活艱苦拮据。
Not a few carers are willing to sacrifice their own time and career in order to take up the responsibility of taking care of the elderly persons at home . But owing to insufficient social resources and supporting facilities they find it hard to make ends meet
雖然現時關愛基金設有照顧者津貼，但資助額每月只有2,400元，津貼不足，令這些家庭一直生活在基本水平以下。
Although some carers can receive a living allowance from the Community Care Fund at present the amount of allowance is only 2,400 per month . Due to the low level of allowance these families have been living under the basic living level
民建聯認為，當局應該設立完善的照顧者津貼制度，除了把津貼額提升至與現行最低工資水平掛鈎外，亦應為照顧者提供更全面及更有系統的一站式支援服務，令他們獲得平衡的生活，避免身心過勞而出現意外。
DAB thinks that the authorities should set up a comprehensive living allowance system for carers . Apart from raising the allowance level to meet the existing minimum wage level the authorities should also provide more holistic and systematic one - stop supporting services for carers so that they can enjoy a balanced lifestyle and avoid any accidents when they are burned out
我們在較早前已經提出這項建議，期望政府會真正仔細研究，為照顧者及弱勢社群多走一步。
We have already raised this proposal earlier in the hope that the Government will study it in detail and move a step forward for carers and the disadvantaged social groups
主席，過去一年半，正如特首在施政報告中所說，香港經歷了前所未有的多重打擊，包括修例風波及其他反抗政權行為而發生的社會動亂。
President in the past one and a half years as the Chief Executive said in the Policy Address Hong Kong experienced multiple blows which were unprecedented . These included the social unrest arising from the opposition to the proposed legislative amendments to the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance and other anti - government acts; and the shrinking economy and rising unemployment rate caused by the COVID - 19 pandemic
因為新冠疫情肆虐，引致經濟萎縮及失業率上升，香港正面臨回歸以來前所未有的挑戰。
Hong Kong is now facing an unprecedented challenge since its return to the Motherland
旅遊業是香港經濟的重要支柱，雖然GDP比重佔香港的5%，但旅遊業直接及間接帶動的就業人數接近80萬人。
Tourism is an important pillar of the economy in Hong Kong . It directly and indirectly employs almost 800 000 people though it only accounts for 5 % of the GDP
前年的修例風波早已打擊旅遊業，一場新冠肺炎疫情不單危害公眾生命安全，更令入境、出境及本地遊停擺差不多1年。
The disturbances arising from the opposition to the proposed legislative amendments in the year before last already dealt a blow to the tourism industry . The COVID - 19 pandemic apart from threatening peoples lives and safety has halted inbound and outbound travel as well as local tours for almost one year
旅遊業陷入冰封，與旅遊業相關的旅行社、酒店、賓館、海陸空交通、會展、零售及飲食業，亦受到不同程度的打擊，影響相當廣泛。
The tourism industry has been frozen and the associated sectors such as travel agents hotels guesthouses landseaair transport conventions and exhibitions retails and catering have also been hit to different degrees . The impact has been widespread
環顧世界各地的疫情，即使香港的疫情可以受控，我們估計外圍的疫情在短期內不容樂觀，復蘇時間漫長。
In view of the global pandemic situation even if we manage to put our pandemic under control we estimate that the global will not be optimistic in the short run and it will take a long time to recover
根據國際航空運輸協會預計，航空業的回復會比預期慢，估計2024年才回復至2019年疫情前的客運量。
The International Air Transport Association forecasts that aviation recovery will be slower than expected . It is estimated that the pre - COVID travel volume in 2019 will not be regained until 2024
所以，香港的旅遊業將會是我們所看受到打擊最早、所受影響最深、復蘇最遲的行業。
So the tourism industry in Hong Kong is the earliest to be hit the hardest and the latest to recover
