我想先就胡志偉議員和張超雄議員就致謝議案提出有關重啟政改的修訂作出回應。
I want to first respond to the amendments proposed by Mr WU Chi - wai and Dr Fernando CHEUNG to the Motion of Thanks about reactivating constitutional reform
剛才也有數位議員就重啟政改發言。
Just now a number of Members have also spoken on reactivating constitutional reform
由"一人一票"普選行政長官和立法會全部議員，是《基本法》定下的最終目標。
The selection of the Chief Executive and the election of all Legislative Council Members by one person one vote is the ultimate goal laid down in the Basic Law
正如行政長官在施政報告中提到，政府絕對明白市民，特別是青年人，對"一人一票"普選行政長官的訴求。
As mentioned by the Chief Executive in the Policy Address the Government fully understands the aspirations of the community particularly young people for selecting the Chief Executive through one person one vote
根據《基本法》及全國人大常委會的相關解釋和決定，要成功落實行政長官普選，需要立法會全體議員三分之二多數通過、行政長官同意，以及全國人大常委會批准。
In accordance with the Basic Law and the relevant interpretations and decisions of the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress NPCSC the successful implementation of the selection of the Chief Executive by universal suffrage requires the endorsement of a two - thirds majority of all Members of the Legislative Council the consent of the Chief Executive and the approval of NPCSC
特區政府不會低估政改議題的複雜性和難度。
The SAR Government will not underestimate the complexity and difficulty of the constitutional reform issue
林卓廷議員說政府迴避這項議題，質疑當局"為何連一場戲也不做，起碼應該進行諮詢吧？
Mr LAM Cheuk - ting said that the Government has evaded the issue and queried why does the Administration not even bother to put up a show by at least conducting a consultation exercise?
"主席，我必須指出，正如張國鈞議員在發言中提到，上屆政府用了20個月的時間，遺憾地也未能落實"一人一票"普選行政長官。
President I must point out as indicated by Mr CHEUNG Kwok - kwan in his speech despite the fact that the last - term Government had spent 20 months it was regrettably unable to implement the selection of the Chief Executive through one person one vote
過程更發生違法佔中事件，激發起社會矛盾，嚴重影響香港的發展。
Worse still the occurrence of the unlawful Occupy Central during the process had aroused social conflicts and seriously undermined the development of Hong Kong
因此，作為負責任的政府，我們不能罔顧現實，貿然重啟政改，令社會難以聚焦發展。
Therefore as a responsible Government we must not be unrealistic and arbitrarily reactivate constitutional reform such that the community cannot focus on development
政府會盡最大努力營造有利推動政改的社會氛圍，按照《基本法》及全國人大常委會的相關解釋和決定推動政制發展。
The Government will do its utmost to create an atmosphere conducive to the promotion of constitutional reform and then press forward constitutional development in accordance with the Basic Law as well the relevant interpretations and decisions of NPCSC
剛才郭家麒議員在發言時指《基本法》和《中英聯合聲明》訂明香港可在2007-2008年度實行雙普選，這明顯與事實不符。
Just now Dr KWOK Ka - ki pointed out in his speech that both the Basic Law and the Sino - British Joint Declaration stipulated that Hong Kong shall implement dual universal suffrage in 2007 - 2008 which obviously disagrees with the truth
我們明白隨着香港和內地的關係越趨緊密 及粵港澳大灣區的發展，會使"有與香港保持聯繫"的定義不再局限於"通常在香港居住"。
We understand that with the increasingly close relationship between Hong Kong and the Mainland and the development of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area the definition of maintaining connections with Hong Kong is no longer limited to ordinarily resides in Hong Kong
我們會研究有關問題，但我亦要指出，我們會小心考慮，因為任何改變選民登記資格的建議都涉及複雜的問題。
We will look into the relevant issues but I would also like to point out that careful consideration will be given because any proposal to change the eligibility criteria of voter registration involves complex issues
有關大灣區的發展，包括稅務的問題，我感謝李慧琼議員和民建聯積極提出建議，我們會向有關方面反映他們的關注和建議。
With regard to the development of the Greater Bay Area including taxation I thank Ms Starry LEE and the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong for proactively making recommendations . We will relay their concerns and suggestions to the parties concerned
政府亦會致力和中央有關部委和廣東省政府推動政策突破和創新，善用大灣區發展所帶來的機遇。
The Government will also strive to promote policy breakthroughs and innovations with the relevant ministries of the Central Authorities and the Guangdong Provincial Government and make the best use of the opportunities arising from the development of the Greater Bay Area
有議員提到"一國兩制"的實踐、有關認識國家《憲法》及《基本法》，以及推廣教育的工作。
Some Members mentioned the implementation of one country two systems the understanding of the countrys Constitution and the Basic Law as well as promotion and education
我想引用國家主席習近平在"十九大"報告中提到"保持香港長期繁榮穩定，必須全面準確貫徹'一國兩制'、'港人治港'、高度自治的方針，嚴格依照《憲法》和《基本法》辦事，完善與《基本法》實施相關的制度和機制"、"必須把維護中央對香港特別行政區全面管治權和保障特別行政區高度自治權有機結合起來，確保'一國兩制'方針不會變、不動搖，確保'一國兩制'實踐不變形、不走樣"。
I would like to quote from President XI Jinpings report to the 19 National Congress of the Communist Party of China which states that [t]o maintain long - term prosperity and stability in Hong Kong it is imperative to fully and faithfully implement the policies of one country two systems Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong a high degree of autonomy to act in strict compliance with the Constitution and the Basic Law and to improve the systems and mechanisms for enforcing the Basic Law must organically combine the upholding of the Central Authorities overall jurisdiction over the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region with the safeguarding of a high degree of autonomy of these special administrative regions so as to ensure that the principle of one country two systems remains unchanged and unshaken and that the practice of the one country two systems policy remains intact and undistorted
政府非常重視《憲法》及《基本法》的推廣及教育工作，一直積極透過不同渠道推廣《憲法》及《基本法》，讓市民對《憲法》、《基本法》及"一國兩制"有更全面和深入的認識。
The Government attaches great importance to the promotion and education of the Constitution and the Basic Law and has been actively promoting the Constitution and the Basic Law through various channels so that members of the public can have a more comprehensive and in - depth understanding of the Constitution the Basic Law and the principle of one country two systems
剛才李慧琼議員亦提到國家觀念。
Just now Ms Starry LEE also mentioned the concept of nation
政府致力培養青年人多了解國家，建立國家觀念，包括透過教育、社區推廣和青年到內地交流和實習計劃等。
The Government is committed to raising awareness among young people about the nation and cultivating in them a sense of national identity through education community promotion as well as Mainland exchange and internship programmes for youths
有議員提到《國歌法》的本地立法工作。
Some Members mentioned the local legislation to implement the National Anthem Law
全國人大常委會在2017年11月4日通過決定，將《國歌法》列入《基本法》附件三。
On 4 November 2017 NPCSC adopted the decision to add the National Anthem Law to Annex III of the Basic Law
根據《基本法》第十八條第二款，凡列於《基本法》附件三之全國性法律，由香港特別行政區在當地公布或立法實施。
In accordance with Article 182 of the Basic Law the national laws listed in Annex III to the Basic Law shall be applied locally by way of promulgation or legislation by HKSAR
因此，政府有責任在本地立法實施《國歌法》，而透過本地立法實施《國歌法》符合"一國兩制"原則。
Therefore the Government is obliged to enact local legislation to implement the National Anthem Law and the implementation of the National Anthem Law by local legislation is consistent with the principle of one country two systems
關於本地的立法工作，我們已於今年3月就立法的建議內容諮詢立法會政制事務委員會，以及在4月及5月出席兩場接近16小時的立法會公聽會，充分聆聽市民的意見。
With regard to the work of local legislation we consulted the Legislative Council Panel on Constitutional Affairs on the legislative proposals in March this year and attended two public hearings of the Legislative Council lasting nearly 16 hours in April and May . The voices of the people were fully heard
我們正在草擬《國歌條例草案》，完成後將盡快提交立法會審議。
We are in the process of drafting the National Anthem Bill the Bill which will be introduced into the Legislative Council for scrutiny as soon as it is completed
我們的立法原則 是必須維持《國歌法》的立法目的和原意，充分體現《國歌法》的精神，明確維護國歌的尊嚴，使市民尊重國歌；同時兼顧香港的普通法法律制度，以及香港的實際情況。
Our legislative principle is to maintain the purpose and intent of the National Anthem Law to fully reflect its spirit and to preserve the dignity of the national anthem so that Hong Kong citizens would respect the national anthem whilst taking into account the common law system and local circumstances
我們在草擬《條例草案》的過程中，會顧及《基本法》保障人權和自由的規定。
In the course of drafting the Bill we will take into account the provisions of the Basic Law which protect human rights and freedom
就性小眾方面，我們重申在整體政策下，政府一直致力在現行婚姻制度下，促進不同性傾向和跨性別人士享有平等機會，以建立共融、尊重和不歧視的文化和價值觀。
With regard to the sexual minorities we reiterate that under the overall policy the Government is committed to promoting equal opportunities for people of different sexual orientations and transgenders under the existing marriage institution with a view to fostering the culture and values of inclusiveness mutual respect and non - discrimination
我們正跟進一系列策略及措施，包括向僱主推廣《消除性傾向歧視僱傭實務守則》。
We are following up on a range of strategies and measures which include promoting the Code of Practice against Discrimination in Employment on the Ground of Sexual Orientation to employers
今年稍後，我們將推出針對醫護人員的培訓資源，提高他們對性小眾的認識和敏感度。
Training resources targeting medical and health care professionals would be launched later this year to enhance their knowledge of and sensitivity towards sex minorities
我們亦正制訂涵蓋不同範圍的《不歧視約章》，讓服務提供者自願採納。
We are also drawing up a charter on non - discrimination of sexual minorities covering various domains for voluntary adoption by service providers
另外，我們現正進一步研究其他地方推行反歧視立法及行政措施的經驗，期望明年上半年完成。
In addition we are conducting a further study on the experience of other jurisdictions in the use of legislative and administrative measures to eliminate discrimination . The study is expected to be completed in the first half of next year
研究結果會有助社會就應否立法保障不同性傾向及跨性別人士免受歧視這項課題作討論。
The findings will facilitate discussion in the community on whether legislation should be introduced to protect people of different sexual orientations and transgenders against discrimination
代理主席，我謹此陳辭，希望議員支持致謝議案。
Deputy President with these remarks I hope Members will support the Motion of Thanks
主席，特首在這份施政報告提出了200多項新措施，其中不少涉及一些重大的政策變更，包括檢討公私營房屋比例、取消強積金對沖安排及三隧分流等。
President the Chief Executive proposed more than 200 new initiatives in the Policy Address and quite a number of them involve major policy changes including reviewing the public - private housing split abolishing the arrangement for offsetting severance payment and long service payment with MPF benefits and redistributing traffic among the three tunnels
不過，我認為焦點始終是土地問題，或者說得更準確，就是"明日大嶼"。
However I believe that the focus is always on the land problem or more accurately on Lantau Tomorrow
我暫且不說上述措施孰好孰壞，但我覺得這是一份有魄力且願意承擔的施政報告，當中的新措施皆具有爭議性，亦是針對多年來無法 解決的問題。
I will not say whether the above initiatives are good or bad but I think the Policy Address demonstrated the Governments resolution and commitment and the new initiatives are controversial and targeting problems that have not been solved over the years
政府實在有需要拿出一個方案，告訴全港市民，政府願意承擔和解決問題。
The Government really needs to come up with a proposal to tell Hong Kong people that it is willing to take up responsibilities and solve the problems
因此，我認為這份施政報告確有很多值得參考之處，大家固然會有不同的看法，但大可以透過辯論，協助政府完善有關的政策。
Therefore I think many parts of the Policy Address are worth considering; though we all have different views we can help the Government to improve the relevant policies through debate
我是民主建港協進聯盟發展事務方面的發言人，所以今天的發言會較着重發展方面。
As I am the spokesperson of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB on development affairs my speech today will focus more on development
在這兩天的辯論中，大部分議員也有提及"明日大嶼"。
In the debates these two days most Members mentioned Lantau Tomorrow
然而，發展棕地和發展大型新市鎮是否真的會較填海快很多？
However is the development of brownfield sites and large new towns really much faster than reclamation?
如果一項填海計劃能夠提供1,000多公頃土地，有助將來發展，為甚麼我們今天不去做呢？
If a reclamation project can provide more than 1 000 hectares of land for future development why should we not proceed today?
雖然需時可能較長，但始終要啟 動第一步，否則香港的土地問題只會越來越嚴重。
Although it may take a longer period we must make the first step; otherwise the land problem in Hong Kong will only become more and more serious
在反對派眼中，永遠只會看到其他地方的好處。
The opposition camp only sees the merits of other places
我還想強調，所謂的丁權絕對不是特權，而是一種政策補償。
I also want to emphasize that small house concessionary right is definitely not a privilege but a kind of compensation under certain policies
當年政府為了發展新市鎮，便要收地和設立規限。
Years ago in order to develop new towns the Government resumed land and set limitations
原本全部原居民都可以在自己擁有的土地上建屋，不受限制，但由於政府當年實施丁屋政策，所以才對丁屋施加規限。
Originally all indigenous inhabitants could build houses on the land they owned without limitation . However since the Government implemented the small house policy limitations are set on small houses
這可能是他們樂於見到的結果，便是在香港製造矛盾，而他們就在矛盾中生存。
May be they are happy to see conflicts created in Hong Kong and they survive amidst such conflicts
哪怕有人對"明日大嶼"計劃有質疑或不認同，但不要緊，可以提出來討論，然後對當中的措施或內容加以修改或調整，盡量克服困難，我認為這才是實事求是及務實的做法。
It does not matter if some people have doubts or disagreements about the Lantau Tomorrow project; the project can be discussed and the relevant measures or contents can be amended or adjusted to minimize difficulties . I think this approach is down - to - earth and pragmatic
即使有保留意見，主要的斟酌點也只是土地開發的先後次序。
Even though some people have reservations their main concern is the priority of land development
如果最終也 是選擇填海，為何我們不早些付諸實行？
If reclamation is the final choice why should we not implement it earlier?
與其"塘水滾塘魚"，只是改變現有土地用途，我們何不另闢土地，使用沒有其他用途及全部屬於政府的土地來發展？
Instead of only changing the existing land use of sites in the same pool why do we not consider the development of sites that belong to the Government but have not been designated for other uses?
我認為"明日大嶼"是很好的願景，值得支持，所以希望政府能夠在日後的財務委員會或相關事務委員會的會議上多作解說，讓全港市民凝聚填海的共識，一起推動"明日大嶼"。
I think the vision of Lantau Tomorrow is desirable and worthy of support . Hence I hope the Government can give further explanation at the future meetings of the Finance Committee or of the relevant panels so as to foster public consensus on reclamation and promote Lantau Tomorrow jointly
除了"明日大嶼"外，我們亦曾討論先導計劃，而這亦是施政報告的重要建議。如果能夠落實，對於填補短中期土地供應亦會有一定的重要性。
Apart from Lantau Tomorrow we have also discussed the Pilot Scheme which is also an important proposal in the Policy Address the implementation of which will fill the gap in respect of land supply in the short to medium term
香港向來尊重私有產權，而這亦是我們的核心價值。
Hong Kong has always respected private property rights which is our core value
收地的其中一個條件是必須符合公眾用途，例如興建道路和公屋。
One of the conditions for land resumption is that the site must be used for public purpose such as construction of roads and public housing
他們絕對會有得益，因為新增的六成至七成公營房屋土地，可以建成為租住公屋或出售居屋。
They will definitely be benefited because the additional 60 % to 70 % of sites can be used for building public rental housing or HOS flats for sale
不過，無論是"明日大嶼"或先導計劃，都有些前提是政府必須重視的：第一，"明日大嶼"、先導計劃或棕地等大多數涉及坐落於新界的土地，但現時新界的交通情況卻很差。
First the sites under Lantau Tomorrow and the Pilot Scheme as well as the brownfield sites are mostly located in the New Territories but traffic conditions in the New Territories are very poor at present
我希望政府可以帶頭把政府單位或設施遷到新界，在新界打造一個核心，以便提供更多就業機會。
I hope the Government can take the lead in moving government units or facilities to the New Territories and creating a Central Business District in the New Territories to provide more job opportunities
以新界東北為例，問題已經拖延很多年，時至今天才可以火速推行。
Take North East New Territories as an example the problems have been dragging on for many years and they should be resolved quickly now
局長近日落區向寮屋居民講解新界東北計劃時，也知道大家都很支持。
The Secretary has recently visited the districts to explain the North East New Territories Development Plan to the squatter residents and I know that the residents are very supportive
這證明區議員越來越專業，也越來越成熟，是市民與政府之間不可或缺的橋樑。
This proves that DC members are becoming more and more professional and mature and they serve as indispensable bridges between members of the public and the Government
因此，我很希望政府實事求是。
Hence I very much hope that the Government will be practical and realistic
有些議員有時候反映地區工程的進展緩慢，或是所提出的建議難以在地區推動，動輒要討論數年，原因是在基本工程儲備基金制度下，涉及3,000萬元以上的工程都必須由立法會財務委員會審批。
As some Members have reflected from time to time the progress of some district projects has been slow or the proposals raised will very often be discussed for years and can hardly be implemented in the districts . The reason is that under the Capital Works Reserve Fund system projects involving more than 30 million must be approved by the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council
我其實還有很多議題想討論，包括文化方面，在西九文化區設立饒宗頤館或金庸館等，但發言時間有限。
In fact I still want to discuss many topics including the cultural aspects such as setting up Jao Tsung - I Gallery or Jin Yong Gallery in the West Kowloon Cultural District but my speaking time is limited
我希望大家可以一起努力解決香港的矛盾，建立更好的香港。
I hope that we can work together to resolve the conflicts in Hong Kong and build a better Hong Kong
提高司法機關人員的退休年齡，確實有助司法機關保留所需的人才，讓司法機構能有足夠的人手和資源繼續運作，並讓具豐富經驗的法官可以繼續工作至70歲或75歲，這是非常重要的，亦是對司法機關很重要的改變。
Extending the retirement age of Judicial Officers will indeed help to retain the necessary talent in the Judiciary so that it will have sufficient manpower and resources for its continual operation; and experienced judges can continue to work until 70 or 75 . This is a very important measure and will have significant changes in the Judiciary
除了提高法官的退休年齡外，我們仍然需要積極聘請法官，因為高等法院原訟法庭仍然有8個空缺，我知道當中有數個空缺可於明年填補，但仍然有4個至5個空缺，並已經存在很久。
Apart from extending the retirement age of judges the Government must also actively recruit judges because there are still eight vacancies of Judges of the Court of First Instance of the High Court . I understand that several vacancies will be filled next year but there are still four to five vacancies which have existed for a long time
所以，我懇請司法機關司法機關的代表今天不在席必須積極聘請法官。
Thus I implore the Judiciary―representatives from the Judiciary are absent today―to vigorously recruit judges
事實上，關於每年的施政報告或財政預算案，我也會詢問司法機關有甚麼需要或改善的地方，或需要甚麼資源和配套。
In fact in relation to the policy address or the budget of each year I will ask members of the Judiciary if it has any need; if there are areas where improvements can be made or if any resources or support facilities are required
因此本地國歌法的條文必須非常清晰，不能有任何灰色地帶，令市民誤墮法網。
Thus the local national anthem law should be clearly drafted with no grey area to avoid people breaching the law inadvertently
我相信審議本地國歌法需要很長時間，很多議員對此也表示關注。
I believe it will take a long time to scrutinize the local national anthem law as many Members have expressed their concerns
我希望局長盡早向立法會量提交一條內容清晰及沒有灰色地帶的本地國歌法，相信屆時會有很多議員提出多項意見。
I hope that the Secretary will expeditiously present a bill to the Legislative Council which is clearly drafted with no grey area . I believe many Members will raise various views
當中發生了甚麼事？
What had happened?
廉署是否真的獨立運作？
Is ICAC really functioning independently?
這些全都是市民心中的問題。
These are the questions in peoples minds
《廉政公署條例》已經實施差不多40年，實在有需要檢討廉署的運作究竟是否仍然透明和獨立。
The Independent Commission Against Corruption Ordinance has been in force for 40 years and there is a need to review whether the operation of ICAC is still transparent and independent
大家都知道，很多中產人士打官司，須承擔的風險非常高。
As we all know many middle - class people have to bear very high risks in instituting legal proceedings
他們很多時候會傾家蕩產，可能連樓宇也要出售，就為了打官司，這情況絕對不健康。
Very often they have to spend their entire fortune or even sell their property to pay for the lawsuit . This situation is certainly not healthy
我們經常說香港是法治社會，這一點很重要，但當大部分人沒錢打官司，其實對本港的法治是很大的諷刺，對法治基礎亦有很深遠的影響。
We often say that Hong Kong upholds the rule of law which is very important but when the majority of people cannot afford to institute legal proceedings it is a great irony of the rule of law and has a profound impact on the foundation of the rule of law
我樂見行政長官在施政報告提到擴大法律援助服務，令更多人受惠。但問題是，實質的工作是甚麼？
I am pleased that the Chief Executive mentions extending legal aid services in the Policy Address but the questions are What actually is the work involved?
究竟要改善甚麼？
What kind of improvements will be made?
香港大律師公會多年來在建議書中指出，這是絕對可行的，而法律援助署現時財政亦非常充裕，能夠支援處理更多不同類型的案件。
The Hong Kong Bar Association has for many years pointed out in their submissions that this proposal is definitely feasible . Besides the Legal Aid Department has a very strong financial position which can support the handling of more types of cases
所以，普選的問題必須要提出，亦不可以當作不存在。
Thus we must raise the issue of universal suffrage and should not regard it as non - existent
這方面的工作確實要繼續做，我們不可以停步。
We must continue with our work in this respect and should not stop
在過去一段日子，我留意到律政司司長為了發展香港的仲裁服務及香港的法律專業服務，確實走訪了很多地方，亦很努力。
I notice that the Secretary for Justice has over the past period of time really visited many places and made great efforts in promoting the arbitration services and legal professional services of Hong Kong
我建議律政司司長在第三方資助仲裁的法例生效後，可以檢討下一步如何推動香港作為仲裁中心的發展，有甚麼其他工作可以做？
I suggest the Secretary for Justice to review after the commencement of the legislation on third party funding for arbitration the next course of action to be taken to promote Hong Kong as an arbitration centre . What other areas of work can be taken?
當然，我們很多方面都做得很好，在很多領域上亦超越新加坡。
Certainly we have done very well in many respects and have surpassed Singapore in many areas
當然，人家的競爭力或靈活性亦很高，他們看到我們做甚麼工作，便會跟隨。
Surely Singapore being very competitive and flexible may follow our steps when it sees the work we have done
我認為香港還有很多可以發展仲裁服務的空間，我們還有很多優勢尚未展現出來。
I think there is still much room for Hong Kong to develop arbitration services and we have not given full play to many of our advantages
很多人認為，儘管說香港的法治及"一國兩制"有多好，但別人看到負面新聞不斷發生時，亦會影響香港的國際形象及發展仲裁的能力。
There are views that although Hong Kongs good performance in upholding the rule of law and implementing one country two systems has been mentioned time and again the incessant negative news about Hong Kong will affect Hong Kongs international image and its capability to develop arbitration services
各方面環環緊扣，香港所有的管治問題，香港所出現的各種問題，都會影響我們在國際社會上的地位及別人對我們的看法。
Things are closely related to one another . All governance problems in Hong Kong and various problems which have occurred in Hong Kong will affect our status in the international world and the opinion people have on us
在中美貿易戰的國際政治環境下，我和公民黨的議員將會多走訪不同的外國議會及與外國官員會面，了解他們對香港有何看法，對"一國兩制"現時的成效有何看法，以及向他們表達香港不應被牽涉在中美貿易戰內的意見。
Under the international political climate of the Sino - United States trade war I and Members of the Civic Party will pay more overseas visits to meet with members of parliaments and public officials . We will find out their opinions on Hong Kong and the effectiveness of one country two systems and will express our view that Hong Kong should not be implicated in the Sino - United States trade war
香港在世界貿易組織下從來都是一個不同的體系，我們從來都是一個法治社會，尊重世界貿易組織所訂立的規則，亦從來都跟從這些遊戲規則。
Hong Kong has all along participated in the World Trade Organization WTO as a separate entity; it has all along been a society which upholds the rule of law respects the rules set by WTO and follows the rules of the game
美國對中國提出的多項指控，我們今天不處理，因為對香港而言，這些指控都不成立。
We will not deal with the allegations of the United States against China today because such allegations are invalid as far as Hong Kong is concerned
所以，我們到訪美國國會及一些政府部門時，也對他們說香港不應該被牽涉在中美貿易戰之內。
Thus in our visits to overseas parliaments and government departments we will tell the people concerned that Hong Kong should not be implicated in the Sino - United States trade war
在最後數分鐘，我也想說，香港是否仍然享有"一國兩制"，在"兩制"下的差異是否仍然存在，將會決定美國及其他外國國家如何看待香港。
In the last few minutes I would also like to ask if Hong Kong still enjoys one country two systems . How Hong Kong will be treated by the United States and other countries will depend on whether the differences of two systems still exist
如果"一國兩制"不斷下滑，"兩制"的差異越來越少，只談"一國"不談"兩制"，人家會如何看待香港呢？
If one country two systems continuous to go downward and the differences of two systems become increasingly insignificant with one country overshadowing two systems how will other countries perceive Hong Kong?
就只會視香港為中國的一部分，一個普通的中國城市，失去獨立性。
They will only regard Hong Kong as part of China an ordinary Chinese city which has lost its independence
當我們失去獨立性，而外國要制訂一些對華政策時，便會同樣看待香港。
After we have lost our independence overseas countries anti - China policies will also apply to Hong Kong
所以，我呼籲政府官員要好好看清楚現時的形勢，看清楚現時在中美貿易戰下，香港有甚麼特殊地位可以好好發揮，這樣不但能幫助香港，亦可以幫助國家。
Thus I implore public officers to have a good understanding of the current situation and consider how Hong Kong can effectively perform its special role under the present Sino - United States trade war . That will not only help Hong Kong but also the country
主席，我很留心聆聽梁美芬議員的發言。
President I have listened to the speech of Dr Priscilla LEUNG attentively
