難道我們真的要"望天打卦"，祈求上天賜雨水給我們飲用？
Do we really have to pray for the mercy of God to bestow rainwater to us to quench our thirst?
我們一定要知道，在議會的發言一定要中肯。
We must know that our speeches in the legislature must be well balanced
何謂理財哲學？
What is a fiscal philosophy?
為何會出現這種現象呢？
Why has this happened?
我不知道司長有否認真思考這個問題？
I wonder if the Financial Secretary has ever seriously consider this question
我當然明白，預算案不可能像水晶球般預示未來的情況，因為預算案只是根據過去的數據，推算未來一年可能有的收入。
I certainly understand that the Budget cannot accurately predict the future like a crystal ball since the Budget is a prediction of the potential incomes in the coming year based on past data
但是，有些經濟形勢變化其實是不容易判斷的。
But it is not that easy to detect economic changes
只不過當財政出現額外盈餘，好像今年的財政盈餘由原先估計的100多億元，到宣讀預算案時的1,350億元，最後到現在截數時更可能高達1,700億元，我們不禁要問，這筆財政盈餘應該如何運用呢？
Just that when there are unexpected fiscal surpluses like this year for instance the predicted fiscal surplus increases from some 10 billion to 135 billion by the time of Budget delivery and finally to the present 170 billion by the cut - off time we cannot help but ask how we should use the surplus
這數天的預算案辯論，我們聽到很多同事說，政府有大筆盈餘不用，這就是問題所在。
We have heard many Members mention in the Budget debate over the past few days the enormous surplus of the Government . This is where the problem is
在開始草擬預算案時，民主黨曾對司長說，他應該將盈餘用於社會上長期存在的問題。
When the Financial Secretary began to draft the Budget the Democratic Party told him that he should use the surplus on solving problems long existed in society
例如，我與司長對話時也提及安老院舍的問題，羅致光局長所說的458間安老院舍，何時會兌現呢？如何兌現和錢從何來呢？
For example I mentioned the subject of residential care homes for the elderly when I talked to him
這包括教育局，在人力資源上作培訓和配套；也包括發展局，在土地資源上支撐相關的項目。
These departments include the Education Bureau to provide manpower training and support; and also the Development Bureau to supply land for related projects
人口老化問題是政策局局長羅致光提出的，但他居然沒有就這方面作出任何具體回應。
The ageing population is an issue brought up by Secretary LAW Chi - kwong but to our surprise the Financial Secretary does not make any specific response to the problem
我們亦看到社會的基層醫療服務，事實上，政府多年來口說重視基層醫療，由1990年代第一本彩虹報告書，到每隔10年便說要加強基層醫療，但它有否投放資源？
Regarding primary health care services the Government has been saying for years that it attaches great importance to primary health care . Since the Rainbow Report it published in the 1990s the Government has been saying every 10 years that it needs to strengthen primary health care services . But has it injected any resources into this subject?
政府不投放資源，主管的衞生署在這個工作上，又能夠發揮多大作用呢？
If the Government does not inject resources how could the Department of Health which takes charge of this work serve its function?
甚至基層醫療的一個主要部分，即門診服務都已全部分割給醫院管理局。
Furthermore outpatient services which is a major constituent of primary health care have been fully taken up by the Hospital Authority HA
但是，我看不到司長有從這個角度或有這股魄力去做，我不知道是因為他的問題，還是醫管局的問題，或是食物及衞生局局長的問題，但預算案確實反映出這種現象。
But I do not see the Financial Secretary has considered from this perspective or has the drive to do this work . I do not know whether this is his problem or that of HA or the Secretary for Food and Health . But the Budget does reflect such a phenomenon
既然政府"天降橫財"，他是否應該更大幅度資助市民大眾使用《藥物名冊》中特別昂貴的藥物，令大家可以無後顧之憂？
Given that the Government is now bestowed with such a large sum of unexpected fortune should it not allocate more extensively subsidize people to use the expensive medicine on the Drug Formulary and to relieve their concern?
香港很好，我們有1萬億元財政儲備，每年單是分帳或分紅也可能有數百億元，如果能夠善用這些概念，然後針對社會上有共識的事情來處理，我相信大家會較容易理解他整個理財哲學。
Hong Kong is a good place . We have 1,000 billion in our fiscal reserve and there may be a few million dollars every year for distribution . If the Government can make good use of these concepts and focus on matters that have a social consensus I believe it will be easier for us to understand his fiscal philosophy as a whole
這點我認為是非常重要的，但可惜政府沒有做好這部分的工作。
I think this is a very important point but regrettably the Government has not properly taken forward this part of the job
但是，無論如何，儘管我們對這份預算案有很多不同的批評，亦認為它有很多不足之處，但我覺得司長做了一件很重要的工作。
But despite the many criticisms we have against the Budget or the many insufficiencies we think it has the Financial Secretary has done an important job
但總的來說，司長令所有得不到任何財政優惠的朋友獲得4,000元的補助。
All in all the Financial Secretary has made it possible for people who are not entitled to any fiscal benefit to have 4,000 as a subsidy
當然，這類"派糖"措施牽涉行政開支，這個世界沒有免費午餐，但司長在這個過程中願意聆聽市民的意見，將預算案中被遺漏並且是數目龐大的一群，差不多佔香港人口50%的人納入其中，我覺得這是要予以肯定的。
Certainly this sort of cash handouts involves administrative costs . There is no free lunch in this world . I think the Financial Secretary is commendable for his willingness to listen to public views in the process and include a large group of people who have been left out accounting for almost 50 % of the population into the Budget
但是，整體而言，民主黨覺得司長仍然欠社會一個嚴肅的交代，便是他的整套理財理念是怎麼一回事。
But on the whole the Democratic Party thinks that the Financial Secretary owes the public a solemn explanation on his overall fiscal philosophy
但是，如果司長真的要進行盈餘再分配，我覺得用簡單的方法是最好的，即是透過算式運算，如果出現某水平的財政盈餘，可能撥出當中的兩三成，讓大家分享經濟成果，我覺得不宜想得太複雜，簡簡單單，每個人也分享一部分，讓大家雨露均霑，人人受惠，簡單處理便可。
But if the Financial Secretary truly thinks that it is necessary to redistribute the wealth in surplus I think adopting a simple method is the best . In other words when the fiscal surplus reaches a certain level the Government can set aside 20 % to 30 % by means of a formula for the public as a way to share the economic return . I do not think we should make it too complicated
但是，身為司長，他有責任想清楚用甚麼機制，能夠令這些非經常性收入轉化成經常性用途來應對社會的需要，否則，大家會很有意見。
But as the Financial Secretary he has the responsibility to carefully find a mechanism that can use non - recurrent revenues on projects that involve recurrent expenditures so as to meet the needs of society . If not people will criticize him
最簡單，我們討論強積金對沖時，其實政府撥出一大筆款項，已經能夠成立基金池來解決問題，這不是一舉兩得，大家也認為很好的做法嗎？
Actually in our discussion on the MPF offsetting arrangement if the Government can allocate a large sum of money to set up a fund pool it can solve the problem . Is this not a dual - way approach that everyone finds desirable?
代理主席，財政預算案由2月底公布至今約兩個半月，香港市民對此有強烈意見及情緒反應。
Deputy Chairman people have reacted to the Budget with strong views and emotional responses over the last two and a half months since its announcement in late - February
我接觸到的市民，包括建制派的支持者，對它均是罵多於讚。
The people that I have met including supporters of the pro - establishment camp are more critical than appreciative of it
不過，無論這份預算案有多差勁，如無意外，也會在今天通過。
Yet no matter how poorly written this Budget is it will be passed today barring any unforeseen hiccups
因為建制派的支持，也因為主席精心安排的這項辯論的時間框架，預算案會無風無浪，無驚無險，或即使是有驚無險，也總會被通過。
Because of the support rendered by the pro - establishment camp and because of the debate time frame neatly devised by the Chairman the Budget will be endorsed even if controversies and hiccups do arise
正因如此，政府根本沒有壓力要負責任做好預算案，也無須一年比一年做得好。
Precisely because of this the Government is not under any pressure to prepare a good budget responsibly or is it obliged to do a better job than that of the previous year
司長，其實今年是我首次與財政司司長會面表達對預算案的意見。
Secretary this in fact is the first year I meet with a financial secretary to express my views on the Budget
人民力量一向以來爭取的其中一個目標不是終極目標是希望政府可以全民直接"回水"，還富於民。
One of the objectives of People Power though not the ultimate objective is to make the Government deliver a direct cash handout to all the people returning wealth to them
當然，我一定不會說我們曾經成功爭取到任何東西，但我們一直在宣揚這套理念。
Of course I will definitely not say we have successfully strived for anything only that we have been promoting this philosophy all along
為何我們認為直接"回水"，派發現金人人有份，是在眾多方法中最公平和最公道的方法呢？
Why do we believe that a cash handout which gives everybody money is the most fair and just approach?
到印刷這份預算案時，盈餘預算是1,380億元，在4月底公布整個財政年度的盈餘預算，則為1,489億元；如果與164億元相比，預算是少估了1,325億元。
But when this years Budget went to the printer the estimation was revised to 138 billion . Then the surplus of the entire financial year was further estimated at 148.9 billion in late - April . Comparing this latest figure with 16.4 billion the surplus has been underestimated for 132.5 billion
這名市民對我說，如果把這筆款項除以700多萬名香港市民，政府便欠每名香港人平均18,000元以上。
This member of the public told me that if the difference was shared by all the 7 million or so people in Hong Kong the Government owed each Hong Kong person 18,000 or even more
這也是香港人的錢，每一分錢也是有代價的，香港人是要付出代價的。
This is Hong Kong peoples money a sum in which every cent is earned at a price by the Hong Kong people
可是，第一，這些錢沒有直接回到市民手上；第二，這些錢令樓價高、租金高，接着就百物騰貴，連買麪包或吃飯的價錢也昂貴。
However first the money is not paid back to the people directly . Second this sum of money gives rise to high property prices high rents and a high cost of living in general under which even bread or rice is costly . These are the costs that we pay and hence the surplus is not a godsend fortune
這些便是代價，這些錢並非橫財，也即是說，我寧願平買、平賣、平樓、平租、平住、平食，沒有印花稅、沒有高地價，也沒有"派錢"。
That is to say I would rather enjoy a low cost of living with low property prices rents housing prices and food prices and forego the sizable stamp duty payment high land prices and the cash rebates from the Government
如果政府採用"全民直接回水"的方法處理，問題便會少得多。
The problem will be minimized if the Government instead adopts the universal direct cash handout approach
提到人人有份時，有人喜歡用"雨露均霑"來形容。
Some people liken the scenario where everyone is entitled to a share to rain falling on the just and the unjust
我卻不喜歡用這4個字，因為雨露均霑就像旱災求雨，求上天打救，一旦下雨便最公平了，因為人人也可以沾濕，也有水分，得到滋潤，就好像上蒼賜福一樣。
This is not my preferred way to describe it as the expression reminds me of asking rain from heaven in times of drought . When it does rain it is fair to everyone as every one of us gets wet and moisturized in a way similar to receiving a fortune bestowed by heaven
當年曾俊華就派發6,000元提出修正案，民主派也不敢支持，全部人投棄權票。
When John TSANG moved an amendment to give away 6,000 to the people Members from the pan - democratic camp dared not show their support and they all abstained from voting
今天我看到大部分民主派投贊成票，只得我投棄權票而已。
Today I see that the majority of the pan - democrats will support the Secretary with the exception of me who is going to abstain
當然，也有鄭松泰議員及田北辰議員本質上反對這項修正案。
Of course Members like Dr CHENG Chung - tai and Mr Michael TIEN oppose the Secretarys amendments in principle
當然，也有一些議員堅持自己的立場。
Of course there are still some Members who stand by their own position
其實在面見司長的時候，我們陣營內也不是每一位都同意我的主張，我只是將自己的主張清楚地表達給司長知道。
In fact when we met with the Secretary not everyone from our camp agreed with me and I only conveyed my own ideas thoroughly to the Secretary
未來兩年，我希望預算案不要習非成是。甚麼是習非成是？
In the forthcoming two years I hope we will not see the Budget follow a fallacious convention
不同的政黨，建制派、民主派等也有份爭取，如果建制派盲目保皇，閉上眼睛投贊成票，即使我宣戰、"拉布"也不能強迫政府拿出"派錢"方案。
If the pro - establishment camp protects the Government blindly and votes for the Budget with its eyes closed then I cannot compel the Government to hand out cash even if I declare war on it and start filibustering
剩下少許時間，我想說：政府既然坐擁巨額盈餘，便應該作出更大的承擔。
In the few minutes that remain I want to say that as the Government is sitting on a huge amount of surplus it should commit itself to bigger undertakings
我當時用《紅樓夢》來諷刺曾俊華，好像劉姥姥進入大觀園，王熙鳳作為當家，見窮親戚到來便認定是為了借錢，便先說：你不要看我們家裏金碧輝煌、日子好像過得很好。
At that time I cited the Dreams of the Red Chamber to mock John TSANG sarcastically . I said it was like when Granny LIU entered the Grand View Gardens WANG Xifeng the controller in the family was certain that the poor cousin must be coming to ask a loan from them . WANG therefore pre - empted LIU asking her not to be fooled by the luxurious surroundings which were fallible as signs of a good life
最後，我不支持這份預算案，即使政府真的"回水"1萬元，我也會投反對票；除非有一日，政府願意作出全民退休保障的承擔，我才會考慮是否支持。
Lastly I do not support this Budget . I am going to vote against it even if the Government does actually hand out a 10,000 cash rebate . Only when the Government willingly commits itself to providing universal retirement protection will I consider giving it support
代理主席，《2018年撥款條例草案》全體委員會審議階段轉眼便到了就修正案進行表決前的最後一輪發言。
Deputy Chairman in the blink of an eye we are now in the last round of debate in the Committee stage to consider the Appropriation Bill 2018 before proceeding to vote on the amendments
由於我動議的修正案排在首位，按照慣例，我是最後一位發言，等待我發言完畢，便會就每項修正案逐項表決，因此我呼籲想參與表決的議員返回會議廳。
As I am the mover of the first amendment according to usual practice I am the last one to speak after which the committee will proceed to vote on the amendments seriatim . Hence I call on Members who wish to take part in the voting to return to the Chamber
報道又形容這份預算案為"近年最快"，其實就是近5年來最快完成投票三讀的預算案，整個全委會階段的辯論過程只耗費少於40小時。
They expect the Budget to be passed today in what they describe as the most efficient manner in recent years . Actually with the committee taking less than 40 hours to complete the entire debate process this Budget will be voted and third read in the shortest period of time in five years
代理主席，其實今年的修正案數量亦是近年最少，財政司司長加上14位議員合共提出了67項修正案，其中兩項由財政司司長提出。
Deputy Chairman indeed we also have the fewest Budget amendments in recent years with only 67 amendments proposed by 14 Members and the Financial Secretary . Two of the amendments are proposed by the Financial Secretary himself
儘管如此，在主席眼中仍然算多。
Yet the Chairman still considers such numbers excessive
我很想代理主席替我問問主席：這些年來，由五六百項修正案減至今年的五六十項，他仍認為算多的話，則何謂少或適中呢？
May Deputy Chairman help ask the Chairman on my behalf what will be an appropriate or small number of amendments if some 60 amendments proposed for this year slashing from 500 to 600 previously can still be regarded as excessive?
在政府及保皇黨的眼中，即使只得1項修正案也嫌多。
In the eyes of the Government and the royalists proposing even one amendment to the Budget is too many
處理如此小量的修正案，只須花史上最短的時間審議。
With only a small number of amendments we can finish the deliberation in the shortest period of time in history
我們確是提出了多項修正案，期望能爭取時間向政府、議員及市民解釋我們提出各項修正案的原因。
We have indeed moved quite a number of amendments and we have to race against time to explain to the Government Members and the public why we have to do so
有人問，是否因為修改了《議事規則》，致使今次預算案全委會審議階段大大縮短了呢？
Someone has asked if the substantially shorter debate time in the Committee stage this year is caused by the RoP amendments . I think this is not the main reason
我選擇就有關"總目144―政府總部：政制及內地事務局"的修正案發言。
After a careful selection I finally pick the amendment on Head 144―Government Secretariat Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau
消除歧視性小眾諮詢小組早在2015年年底已完成了工作，但在今天的預算案特別會議上，政府仍只說會跟進這小組的建議這小組所提出的建議均十分簡單及基本，政府定能做到，但每年均只說會跟進建議，至於就為性傾向歧視立法進行公眾諮詢這項最重要的工作，卻仍然遙遙無期。
The Advisory Group on Eliminating Discrimination Against Sexual Minorities already completed its work at the end of 2015 but the Government only says in this special Budget meeting that it will continue to follow up with the Advisory Groups recommendations . The proposals put forward by the Advisory Group are some very simple and basis measures which the Government should surely be able to implement . Yet the Government only says it will follow up with the recommendations and repeat this every year
平等機會委員會完成了兩份報告並提交政府，卻好像石沉大海般。
Two reports prepared by the Equal Opportunities Commission EOC and submitted to the Government seem to be disappeared without a trace
全體委員會現在開始表決各項修正案。
The committee will now put to vote the amendments
修正案的表決次序、內容及目的，已詳列於講稿附錄的附件。
The order of voting on the amendments their contents and objectives are set out in the Annex to the Appendix to the Script
委員已獲提供一份修正案列表，當中已詳載各項修正案的內容、目的及表決次序。
As Members have been provided with a table of amendments which has set out the contents objectives and the order of voting of the amendments will movers please note that when they move amendments they are only required to read out the wordings set out in the Script and the Amendment No
主席，很高興看到財政司司長、創新及科技局局長和教育局局長皆在席，希望他們會繼續留在席上，多聆聽議員的意見。
Chairman I am so glad to see that the Financial Secretary the Secretary for Innovation and Technology and the Secretary for Education are all present at the meeting . I hope that they will stay in the Chamber and listen more to Members views
主席，關於今年的財政預算案，大部分市民可能比較關注的是會否"派錢"或"補漏拾遺"的方案，但其實其中一個很重要的焦點，是政府表示支持創新及科技。
Chairman with regard to this years Budget while most members of the public may probably be more concerned about the Governments proposal to hand out money or plug the gaps a very important focus of this Budget is actually the Governments indication of support for innovation and technology IT
第一，楊局長在兩天前宣布推出科技人才入境計劃，我在修正案中也有提及，所以在此不會再重複。
Firstly it is the Technology Talent Admission Scheme announced by Secretary Nicolas YANG two days ago which is also mentioned in my amendment and so I am not going to repeat
當這方面的環境有所改善時，我相信大家對於吸引海外人才來港的態度一定會越來越開放。
I believe when the environment has improved peoples attitude towards attracting overseas talent to Hong Kong will become more and more open
當時不是沒有香港公司入標，但結果卻敗給一家內地公司。
There were also Hong Kong companies bidding for the contract but they all lost to a Mainland company
由此可見，價低者得的政策對香港的遺害深遠。
From this we can see that the policy of awarding tenders to the lowest bidder has profound negative impact on Hong Kong
"但是，很不幸，這項建議至今仍未落實，所以剛批出的項目依然出現這問題。
But unfortunately this proposal has yet to be implemented and thus the same problem can still be found in the newly awarded projects
我收到的意見是，政府必須審視批出的項目，而從另一個角度來看，就是必須研究撥款金額是否合理。
According to the feedback that I received the Government should carefully examine the projects to be awarded or from another angle it should assess the appropriateness of the amount of funding
這正好反映現時很多人對政府仍然沒有信心，所以政府必須改變這種情況，而唯一的做法便是增加透明度。
This certainly reflects peoples lack of confidence in the Government . Therefore it is necessary for the Government to reverse the situation and the only way is to enhance transparency
因此，我希望當局會在6月展開有關計劃前，把握時間和機會聽取更多市民、持份者和前線工作人員的意見。
I therefore hope that before launching the Scheme in June the authorities would grasp the time and listen more to the views of the public stakeholders and frontline workers
但是，我們眼見其他方面，例如社會福利、長者需要、全民退休保障，甚至教育等都有不足。
And yet we are aware that other areas including social welfare elderly care universal retirement protection and even education have not received sufficient funding
不過，我相信我們仍有需要就預算案提出的工作再向前看，在考慮將來如何可以做得更好之餘，也要回看以往的施政報告中尚未做到的項目，特別是創科方面。
Notwithstanding that I believe we still need to look ahead with regard to the proposals contained in the Budget and consider how we can do better in the future on the one hand and on the other hand look back and identify the outstanding proposals in the previous policy addresses especially in respect of IT
大家都知道，而我想局長也很清楚，連特首亦提到要在八大方面加強創科發展。
As we all know and I think the Secretary is also well aware that the Chief Executive has highlighted the need to enhance the development of IT in eight major areas
我留意到當中提到增加研發資源、提供創投資金及提供科研基建，例如河套地區的建設，政府很快便已展開這3方面的工作。
I notice that for proposals such as increasing resources for RD providing investment funding and technological research infrastructure such as infrastructure of the Loop the Government has already embarked on measures of these three areas right away
然而，政府在其他方面的工作卻仍嫌不足，例如匯聚科技人才。
However government effort in other areas is still inadequate for example pooling together technology talent
局長前兩天提出的計劃固然是其中一部分，但我剛才也說過，政府也要保留本地人才，幫助他們轉型，我希望政府千萬不要忘記。
The Scheme announced by the Secretary two days ago is certainly part of its work but as I said just now the Government also needs to retain local talent and help them change their profession and I beg the Government not to forget
主席，這次財政預算案的辯論差不多到尾聲。
Chairman this debate on the Budget has almost reached the end
今屆預算案的辯論時間大約為38.5小時，我認為是合理的安排。
In this term about 38.5 hours have been allocated for the debate; I think that is a reasonable
我們也應該承認，這可能亦是修改《議事規則》後，流會沒有作用的客觀結果。
We should also admit that the improvement is the objective result of the amendments to the Rules of Procedure because it serves no purpose to cause the abortion of a meeting due to a lack of quorum
其實社會上有不同意見很正常，也應該如此。
Actually it is normal to have different views in society which should be the case
我覺得不可以。
I think it should not
當然，一提到全民退休保障，很多人真的會有戒心，甚至大家也不敢下注。
Certainly once we talk about universal retirement protection many people will really have reservations and they dare not bet on it
邵家臻議員剛才說得容易，但將來究竟負擔多少，會給年輕人帶來多少負擔？
Mr SHIU Ka - chun makes things sound easy but what exactly is the future commitment and how much burden will be imposed on young people?
我覺得我們也要對下一代負責，然而，我認為現時我們面對兩大困局，而這兩大困局......
I think we should be responsible to the next generation . However I think we are currently faced with two deadlocks which arethe Financial Secretary is with us now
我上次已經提到，我探訪社區時，大家都不想聽到"長者"一詞，應該說"老友記"。
As I said last time when I visited local districts people did not want to hear the word elderly and we should call them folks instead
世界政治的大格局根本隨時會有翻天覆地的改變。
They show us that the general situation in world politics may have revolutionary changes at any time
市民對領袖的看法並不在於其年紀，年輕人亦不會只投票給年輕的參選人，他們會看參選人有何政綱，對社會和選民會否帶來好處。
People do not judge a leader by his age . Young people may not necessarily vote for young candidates; they will consider the candidates election platforms and whether they will bring benefits to society and the electors
年輕人亦不一定支持全民退休保障，因為他們要承擔供養父母及其他長者的責任。
Young people do not necessarily support a universal retirement protection system because they have to undertake the responsibility of supporting their parents and other elderly people
所以，我覺得我們要重新思考，究竟我們想香港在未來5年、10年走到哪一步？
Thus I think we have to reconsider what would we like Hong Kong to become in 5 to 10 years time
我支持預算案，但我認為有很多事情政府必須突破現有的格局。
I support the Budget but I think the Government must think out of the box
即使我們沒有全民退休保障，但對於有需要的人，甚至是不願花錢看醫生的退休人士，我們是否也應該幫助他們？
Although we have not introduced a universal retirement protection system should we still help the needy and even retirees who are reluctant to pay for medical treatment?
預算案為公營醫療未來10年的規劃增撥3,000億元，我認為是好的。
The Budget has allocated an additional 300 billion for the 10 - year development plan on public health care services . I think that is a good measure
雖然我們有義務中醫師提供服務，但我認為中醫應納入正式的醫療規劃中。
Although some Chinese medicine practitioners provide free services I think Chinese medicine services should be formally incorporated into our health care planning
此外，上屆立法會議員梁家騮經常對我說，當市民老了，便會把一半的儲蓄用在醫療上，自費接受醫療服務。
Furthermore Dr LEUNG Ka - lau a Member of the last - term Legislative Council often told me that when people grew old they would have to use half of their savings to pay for medical services
年輕人也十分關心現在的老年問題，因為差不多家家也有一老，而年輕人連自己的"四業"問題還未解決。
Young people are very concerned about the problem of ageing because there are elderly persons in almost every family . Yet young people have not solved their problems in four areas
但是，10年以來，樓價不斷飆升，我問年輕的助手，他們也表示，兩兄妹19年不吃不住也無法"上車"。
Nevertheless property prices have been soaring unceasingly in these 10 years . I asked my young assistant about his situation . He told me that even if he and his sister did not spend any money on food and rent for 19 years they still could not buy their own homes
可否再透過首置貸款或銀行的政策協助這些人？
Can it provide assistance to these people by reintroducing a home starter loan scheme or a banking policy?
內地有67,000家初創企業，內地的年輕人十分有理想，人人想當馬雲和雷軍，而且有信心10年後能出人頭地，所以他們都充滿動力。
There are 67 000 start - up enterprises in the Mainland . Young Mainlanders are very ambitious and they all want to become MA Yun and LEI Jun . They are also confident that they will rise to eminence in 10 years time and so they are highly motivated
他們說十分明白香港很多人的生活仍然相當艱苦，但年輕人真的十分喜歡飼養動物，有些甚至不想生孩子。
They understand that many people are leading a difficult life in Hong Kong but they really like keeping pets and some of them do not want to have children
司長，我今天會支持預算案，我十分希望香港可以做得更好，你們要大膽的想，勇敢的做，必須突破格局。
Financial Secretary I will support the Budget today . I very much hope that Hong Kong can do better . I also hope that public officers have the courage to propose new ideas and bravely put them into practice
香港到了今天，我們必須跨世代、打破現有的格局。
They must achieve breakthroughs under the present circumstances . Nowadays Hong Kong must take intergenerational actions to achieve breakthroughs under the present circumstances
代理主席，我感謝各位委員在審議《2018年撥款條例草案》期間就財政預算案提出的寶貴意見，更感謝他們投票支持《條例草案》予以二讀和政府就關愛共享計劃提出的修正案。
Deputy Chairman I would like to thank Members for expressing their valuable views on the Budget during their scrutiny of the Appropriation Bill 2018 the Bill . I am even more grateful to them for voting in favour of the Second Reading of the Bill and the amendments moved by the Government in respect of the Caring and Sharing Scheme
