代理主席，面對貿易保護主義抬頭，中美貿易糾紛升溫，加息周期又重新來臨，全球經貿發展均面臨極大下行壓力。
Deputy President faced with the emergence of trade protectionism and intensifying trade disputes between China and the United States coupled with a fresh round of interest rate hike the global economic and trade developments are under tremendous downside pressure
香港作為外向型的經濟體，難免隨時受到不同程度的衝擊。
Hong Kong as an externally oriented economy will inevitably suffer impact of various degrees
國際政經環境的不確定性及貿易戰的複雜性，有可能形成猶如超級颱風"山竹"般的破壞力。
The uncertainties in the international political and economic situations and complexities of the trade war may wreak havoc comparable to the destructions caused by super typhoon Mangkhut
因此，特區政府應居安思危，為社會做好各項防風措施，預先評估各種外來因素對本港各行各業可能造成的衝擊，擬訂全盤應對策略，務求在融資、開拓市場及減少貿易風險等方面，為工商及專業界適時提供各種支援，應對不斷變化的外圍經濟環境，尤其要加強中小微企抵禦外來衝擊的能力，以維護本港經濟及就業市場的穩定。
In view of this the SAR Government should remain vigilant before a crisis arises and adopt various precautionary measures for society . Prior assessments should be made on the possible impacts brought about by various external factors on different trades and industries in Hong Kong and comprehensive strategies should be drawn up accordingly to provide various kinds of support in for instance financing opening up markets and reducing trade risks for industries and businesses as well as the professional sectors helping them make preparations for the ever changing external economic environment and in particular it is necessary to enhance the resilience of small medium and micro enterprises against attacks from outside Hong Kong thereby maintaining the stability of the economy and the employment market locally
不過，施政報告在這方面確實有着墨不足之處。
However the coverage on this respect in the Policy Address is indeed inadequate
代理主席，應付打風落雨的措施，充其量只是權宜之計。
Deputy President typhoon precautions are at most just stopgap measures
中長期而言，香港更需要拓展新的發展機遇。
In the medium - to - long term it is all the more necessary for Hong Kong to open up new opportunities of development
本港很多工商專業界別人士均非常關心國家的"一帶一路"倡議，以及粵港澳大灣區的建設會為香港帶來甚麼新機遇。
Many members of the industrial business and professional sectors have kept a close interest in the States Belt and Road Initiative and the new opportunities that the development of the Greater Bay Area will bring to Hong Kong
今年的施政報告亦指出特區政府已採取一些具體措施。
It is pointed out in the Policy Address this year that the SAR Government has adopted some concrete measures
去年年底，特區政府與國家發展和改革委員會簽署《關於支持香港全面參與和助力"一帶一路"建設的安排》，奠定以香港所長貢獻國 家所需的關鍵定位，涵蓋香港擁有獨特優勢的六大重點領域，分別是金融與投資、基礎建設與航運服務、經貿交流與合作、民心相通、推動粵港澳大灣區建設，以及加強對接合作與爭議解決服務。
At the end of last year the SAR Government and the National Development and Reform Commission signed the Arrangement for Advancing Hong Kongs Full Participation in and Contribution to the Belt and Road Initiative establishing Hong Kongs pivotal position in the promotion of the Belt and Road Initiative by leveraging our strengths to meet the countrys needs . The Arrangement covers six key areas in which Hong Kong have distinctive strengths namely finance and investment infrastructure and maritime services economic and trade facilitation and cooperation people - to - people bond taking forward the development of the Greater Bay Area and enhancing collaboration in project interfacing and dispute resolution services
今年6月，"一帶一路"聯席會議首次於北京舉行，為香港與內地相關部委建立專有及直接的高層次溝通機制；同時，商務及經濟發展局會在政府推動"一帶一路"工作上擔當牽頭及協調統籌的角色，並且正在招聘"一帶一路"專員。
In June this year the first Belt and Road Joint Conference was held in Beijing establishing Hong Kongs unique and direct high - level communication mechanism with relevant Mainland Authorities . In the meantime the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau plays a leading and coordinating role in promoting the Belt and Road Initiative in the Government and is in the process of recruiting the Commissioner for Belt and Road
今年8月15日，國務院副總理韓正主持了粵港澳大灣區建設領導小組首次全體會議，行政長官亦是該領導小組的成員；而在特區政府內，亦會成立一個高層次的粵港澳大灣區建設督導委員會，並由特首出任主席。
On 15 August this year the first plenary meeting of the leading group for the development of the Greater Bay Area was convened by the Vice Premier of the State Council HAN Zheng . The Chief Executive is a member of the leading group . On the part of the SAR Government a high - level Steering Committee for the Development of the Greater Bay Area with the Chief Executive being the chairperson will be established
政制及內地事務局亦將設立粵港澳大灣區發展辦公室，並委任粵港澳大灣區發展專員。
The Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau will also set up a Greater Bay Area Development Office and appoint a Commissioner for the Development of the Greater Bay Area
我期望政府盡快申請撥款及開設相關職位，積極推動相關工作。
I hope that the Government will expeditiously seek funding and create the relevant posts to actively take forward the relevant work
當然，正如特首林鄭月娥強調，我們應致力確立香港作為"一帶一路"建設中的首選平台和重要接點，加強政策聯通，利用香港專業服務中心的地位，推動與內地和"一帶一路"相關國家及地區建立夥伴合作。
Certainly as emphasized by Chief Executive Carrie LAM we should be committed to establishing Hong Kong as the prime platform and a key link for the Belt and Road Initiative . Efforts should be made to enhance policy coordination while making use of Hong Kongs position as the professional services hub to promote partnership and collaboration with the Mainland and Belt and Road related countries and regions
我認為香港應爭取繼續發揮在國際交通樞紐、科研實力、市場經驗、法律仲裁、基建工程及檢測認證等專業領域的特有優勢，從多方面着手。
I think Hong Kong should strive to continuously leverage our unique advantages in professional aspects such as its role as an international transport hub strengths in scientific research market experiences law and arbitration infrastructure testing and certification and so on to take forward initiatives on various fronts
特區政府必須加大力度推動香港發展成為國際創新科技中心。
The SAR Government must step up its efforts in promoting Hong Kongs development into an international innovation and technology hub
國家主席習近平今年5月明確表示，支持香港發展成為國際科技創新中心，其後內地亦宣布允許國家科研資金"過河"的措施。
In May this year President XI Jinping explicitly rendered his support to Hong Kong developing into an international innovation and technology hub . This was followed by an announcement made in the Mainland on measures allowing cross - boundary remittance of national science and technology funding
特首在施政報告宣布，政府會在去年財政預算案預留500億元的基礎上，再投放280億元用於大學研究、再工業化、公共服務應用科技，以及加強創科氛圍等，科技業界對此無疑是歡迎的。
In her Policy Address the Chief Executive announced that further to the 50 billion earmarked in last years Budget an additional 28 billion will be allocated for university research re - industrialization application of technology in public services and fostering of an enabling environment for innovation and technology etc which is undoubtedly welcomed by the technology industry
政府應該從善如流，簡化各項資助計劃的申請程序，避免繁複手續降低申請資助的意欲。
The Government should readily heed constructive advice and streamline the application procedures of various funding schemes to avoid cumbersome formalities which would otherwise dampen the desire of submitting applications for these funds
今年7月5日的立法會會議討論了由我動議的"加快推動智慧城市發展"議案，最終原議案連同5項修正案均獲得通過，顯示不同黨派議員均肯定這項議題的重要性。
At the meeting of the Legislative Council on 5 July this year Members discussed the motion on Expediting the promotion of smart city development sponsored by me . The original motion and the five amendments to it were passed showing that Members from different political parties and groupings all recognized the importance of this topic
我樂於看到特首撥款5億元推動智慧城市發展，同時希望政府加快開放政府資源和數據，落實在不同的新發展區推行智慧城市，因應《香港智慧城市藍圖》提出的各個項目，訂立關鍵績效指標，並加快落實Wi-Fi連通城市計劃等。
I am glad to see that the Chief Executive will allocate 500 million to promoting smart city development . Meanwhile I hope that the Government will speed up work in opening up government resources and data implement smart city measures in various new development areas set Key Performance Indicators KPIs for the various projects proposed in the Smart City Blueprint for Hong Kong and expedite the implementation of the Wi - Fi Connected City Programme
同時，我們應加快落馬洲河套區創新及科技園的建設，加強深港創科合作。
In the meantime we should expedite the development of an innovation and technology park in the Lok Ma Chau Loop to enhance cooperation between Shenzhen and Hong Kong in innovation and technology
為此，粵港澳政府應該設立大灣區科技創新委員會，匯聚區內相關"官產學研"的代表，統籌科技的交流與合作。
To this end the Guangdong Hong Kong and Macao Governments should set up a committee on technology and innovation for the Greater Bay Area to pool representatives from the Governments industry academia and research sector in the region and coordinate their exchange and cooperation in technology
代理主席，我們亦要爭取香港發展成為"一帶一路"國際仲裁中心。
Deputy President we also have to strive to develop Hong Kong into an international arbitration centre for the Belt and Road
"一帶一路"建設聚焦於推動沿線國家和地區的基建設施互聯互通和產業合作，預計將出現大量商貿及工程合同，必須處理好可能會發生的爭議。
As the Belt and Road Initiative focuses on the promotion of connectivity of infrastructure facilities among Belt and Road countries and regions as well as cooperation among the industries it is expected that a large number of business trade and engineering contracts will arise and the proper settlement of disputes that may arise will thus become a necessity
香港的工程和法律等專業服務與外國接軌，專業人才儲備豐富，而且在全球仲裁服務中聲譽良好。
The professional services in Hong Kong such as engineering and legal services are on a par with the international community . We have an abundant reserve of professionals and talents and a good reputation in arbitration services worldwide
香港已經簽署《承認及執行外國仲裁裁決公約》，作出的仲裁裁決可以在超過150個國家和地區得到承認與執行。
Hong Kong is a signatory to the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards . The awards made in Hong Kong are recognized and enforceable in 150 countries and regions
因此，今年3月，我作為全國政協委員的第一個提案，便是集中探討如何促使香港與內地合作，建立國際爭議解決機制，發展香港成為"一帶一路"國際仲裁中心，亦有利於大灣區相關業界參與"一帶一路"的建設。
In this connection in March this year the first proposal that I made in my capacity as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference was mainly to explore ways to facilitate cooperation between Hong Kong and the Mainland in setting up an international dispute resolution mechanism and developing Hong Kong into a Belt and Road international arbitration centre which is also helpful to the relevant industries in the Greater Bay Area in participating in the Belt and Road Initiative
我樂見特首表示特區政府已成立工作小組，探討於香港成立具公信力和中立的"一帶一路"爭端解決機構，為世界各地提供一站式的爭議解決服務，朝着這個方向邁出了第一步。
I am glad to hear the Chief Executive say that the SAR Government has set up a task force to explore the establishment of a credible and neutral Belt and Road dispute resolution organization in Hong Kong to provide parties from all over the world with one - stop dispute resolution services signifying the first step made in this direction
此外，我們要推動香港工程專業服務在大灣區先行先試。
Moreover we have to promote early and pilot programmes in the Greater Bay Area for the professional engineering services of Hong Kong
我與謝偉銓議員曾經在4月聯名致函國家住房和城鄉建設部，建議進一步放寬港資建築及工程企業參與內地工程建設的限制。
In April Mr Tony TSE and I jointly wrote to the State Ministry of Housing and Urban - Rural Development proposing that the restrictions on Hong Kong - funded construction and engineering enterprises participating in construction and development projects in the Mainland be further relaxed
住建部回覆表示將積極考慮取消部分限制，具體實施的工作將在CEPA框架下，按規定程序統籌進行。
The Ministry replied that they will actively consider lifting some of the restrictions and that the specific arrangements will be coordinated and implemented in accordance with the prescribed procedures under the framework of CEPA
我認為特區政府部門應該協助業界積極跟進落實，首先爭取在大灣區內部擴大港資建築及工程企業承包工程的範圍，相關的CEPA框架條款亦應該盡快協商修訂。
I think the SAR Government should assist the industries in actively following up the implementation by firstly striving to expand the scope of works undertaken by Hong Kong - funded construction and engineering enterprises in the Greater Bay Area and negotiation should be conducted expeditiously on amendment of the relevant provisions under the CEPA framework accordingly
同時，政府亦應該鼓勵香港與內地企業聯合競投國家級和跨國大型項目。
Meanwhile the Government should also encourage collaboration between Hong Kong and Mainland enterprises in bidding for large - scale national and multinational projects
代理主席，政府還可以利用香港的另一項專業服務優勢，發展成為區域檢測認證中心。
Deputy President the Government can also leverage Hong Kongs advantage in another professional service for development into a regional testing and certification centre
我申報我是現任香港品質保證局主席，亦因此充分了解檢測認證有助大灣區各項發展，例如發展國際創科中心、世界先進製造業基地、國際供應鏈管理中心，以至金融及專業服務等，均需要更多的合格評定服務。
I have to make a declaration that I am the Chairman of the Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency and this is also why I fully understand that testing and certification are conducive to the development of the Greater Bay Area in various aspects such as the development into an international innovation and technology hub an advanced global manufacturing base and an international supply chain management centre and even the development of financial and professional services which all require more conformity assessment services
香港在這方面有着與國際接軌的獨特優勢，可以引入更多國際新標準，例如關於網絡安全和防貪管理體系等，並開發更多嶄新的專業服務，例如有關生態友善和物料回收等方面的評審服務。
With our unique advantage of articulation with the international community Hong Kong can introduce more new international standards such as those relating to cyber security and corruption prevention systems and develop more new professional services such as assessment services for eco - friendly practices recovery of materials etc
我期待特區政府與區內城市加強合作，使大灣區各項標準和檢測認證與國際接軌。
I expect the SAR Government to forge greater cooperation with cities in the region in order to align the various standards as well as testing and certification services in the Greater Bay Area with those in the international community
跨境工程建基項目應該是本港與內地的另一個合作重點。
Cross - boundary infrastructure projects should be another key area of collaboration between Hong Kong and the Mainland
日前，我很榮幸見證港珠澳大橋的開通，大橋在設計和建造上達到國際先進水平，開創了三地兩制、協同創新的合作模式。
The other day I had the honour of witnessing the commissioning of the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge . Attaining international state - of - the - art standards in design and construction the Bridge showcases unprecedented cooperation among three places under two systems for a project of collaborative innovation
大橋聯通珠三角的東西兩岸，加上廣深港高速鐵路香港段開通連接全國，粵港澳三地未來應着重優化跨境的基建聯通，促進區內機場、港口、鐵路和大橋等整合利用，並在跨境通關、稅收、人員和資金流通等方面"拆牆鬆綁"，完善各項配套措施，加快推動粵港澳大灣區建設及"一帶一路"的區域合作，更好地融入國家發展大局，達致橋通、路通、財通和人心通。
The Bridge links up the eastern and western parts of the Pearl River Delta . Coupled with the commissioning of the Hong Kong section of the Guangdong - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link that connects with the whole country Guangdong Hong Kong and Macao should in future put emphasis on improving the connectivity of cross - boundary infrastructure facilitating the integrated and optimal utilization of airports ports railways and bridges in the region while removing regulations and restrictions in cross - boundary customs clearance taxation personnel capital flow etc and improving various support measures in order to expedite promotion of the development of the Greater Bay Area and regional cooperation for the Belt and Road . Hence we can further integrate into the development of the country in a better way and achieve connectivity in terms of infrastructure which will in turn bring about reciprocal economic benefits and strengthen people - to - people bond
總而言之，特區政府必須審時度勢，以創新思維為香港開拓更廣闊的發展空間，同時亦應善用財政盈餘，投放足夠的社會資源，促進百業興旺及改善民生，讓社會各階層可以應對各種挑戰，謀求安居樂業，亦為新一代創造更多向上流動的機遇。
All in all the SAR Government must take stock of the prevailing circumstances and adopt an innovative mindset to create for Hong Kong greater room for development . In the meantime it should effectively utilize the fiscal surplus by injecting adequate resources into society and facilitating the growth of various trades and industries and improvement of the peoples livelihood so that the various strata in society can cope with different kinds of challenges and live in peace and work with contentment and this can also create more opportunities of upward movement for the new generation
代理主席，我和經民聯的同事也支持你作為內務委員會主席動議的原議案。
Deputy President my colleagues in BPA and I support the original motion proposed by you in the capacity of Chairman of the House Committee
至於幾位非建制派議員提出的修正案，只是政治立場的表述，特別是有關"明日大嶼願景"的陳述，充斥着不盡不實的措辭，流於情緒化的政治表態，令人難以認同，更加不可能支持，我會在第四個辯論環節詳述意見。
As for the amendments proposed by the several non - establishment Members they are no more than presentations of political positions and in particular what they said about the Lantau Tomorrow Vision are all inconclusive untrue statements that are no more than an emotional show of political stance . It is difficult for us to agree with them still less rendering them our support . I will express my views in detail in the fourth debate session
因此，我建議這項基金必須開放給非從事海運或空運的人士申請，才能吸納一些新人才加入行業。
Therefore I suggest opening the Fund to applicants who are not engaged in the maritime and aviation services industry in order to attract some new talents to join the industry
否則，我認為這種"塘水滾塘魚"的做法對行業不會有很大幫助，特別是將來興建第三跑道後，我們難以覓得需要的人才。
Otherwise it is just a confined market and will not be of great help to the industry in particular with the construction of the third runway in the future it will be more difficult for us to secure the talents we need
我們如何強化我們的空運服務呢？
Nevertheless how are we going to strengthen our aviation services?
其中必須留意的是，大約兩三年後，國際對空運業會實施一項新要求，就是所有貨物均要100%經過X光保安檢測，而現行的做法是抽樣檢查。
It must be noted that about two or three years later a new requirement will be implemented in the international airfreight industry that is all air cargoes must be X - ray examinated for security reasons whilst the current practice is random checking
機管局亦獲邀就港珠澳大橋香港口岸的發展給予意見，看看如何將其發展成具商業元素的所謂機場城市。
AA was also invited to give advice on the development of the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge Hong Kong Port to see how it could be developed into a so - called airport city with commercial elements
我感到有少許混淆，究竟這是機場管理局還是"商場管理局"呢？
I feel a little bit confused . Is it an airport authority or a Commercial Authority?
返回這辯論環節的主題：多元經濟。施政報告強調政府要扮演促進者的角色，發揮"政府對政府"的功能，協助香港把握國家"一帶一路"倡議及大灣區建設帶來的機遇，原則上我極之認同。
Coming back to the theme of this session which is about diversified economy the Policy Address emphasizes that the Administration should play the role of a facilitator and that it should exercise the function of government - to - government liaison to assist Hong Kong in seizing the opportunities brought about by the Belt and Road Initiative and the construction of the Greater Bay Area by the State
對於仍然堅持香港應採取港英殖民年代積極不干預政策的市民，我希望他們看看嘴裏說最支持自由民主的美國政府正在做甚麼。
I strongly support all of these in principle . For those who still insist that Hong Kong should continue the positive non - intervention policy adopted by the former British - Hong Kong colonial government I hope that they will look at the United States Government who claims itself to be most supportive of freedom and democracy
在世界各地挑起貿易戰、大幅增加關稅、實施制裁，以至運用外交和軍事手段，迫使其他國家開放市場、購買美國貨及優待美國企業。
He is starting trade wars all over the world mandating hefty tariffs on imports imposing sanctions and also using diplomatic and military means to force other countries to open up their markets buy American goods and give American businesses preferential treatment
當然，我並非要求特區政府仿效美國，但政府在行事時可否更積極、更有為和更有效率呢？
Certainly I am not asking the SAR Government to follow the example of the United States Government . But then can we be more proactive? . Can we do more?
以政府的採購政策為例，正如剛才葉劉淑儀議員提到，工務工程合約可否不再以價低者得的方式進行招標？
Can we be more efficient? . Taking the Governments procurement policy as an example as mentioned by Mrs Regina IP with regard to tendering for public works projects can we cease to award the contract to the lowest bidder?
可否在不違反《世界貿易組織政府採購協定》下，做到某程度上的"本地優先"？
Can we give higher priority to local enterprises without violating the Agreement on Government Procurement of the World Trade Organization?
請幫幫香港人吧。
Please help Hong Kong people
施政報告提出會協助專業服務界別把握"一帶一路"建設帶來的機遇，但我卻看不到有任何新措施。
The Policy Address proposes to assist the professional service sector to seize the opportunities brought about by the Belt and Road Initiative but I cannot see any new measures
在大灣區方面，施政報告提出會成立一個高層次的督導委員會，成員包括特首和所有局長。
With regard to the Greater Bay Area the Chief Executive announced in her Policy Address the establishment of a high - level Steering Committee for the Development of the Greater Bay Area with her as the chairperson and its membership comprising all Secretaries of Department and Directors of Bureau
我希望在政策上可以作出配合和推動，並盡早委任大灣區發展專員。
I hope that in terms of policy it can help in coordinating and promoting the initiatives and that the Commissioner for the Development of the Greater Bay Area can be appointed as soon as possible
對於在港府內設立粵港澳大灣區發展辦公室，其實我認為亦應該在大灣區轄下9個廣東省城市設立經貿辦事處及增加人手，更直接地協助有意前往，以及已經在大灣區就業、創業、居住或就學的香港人。
In respect of the Greater Bay Area Development Office to be established within the Government I believe that in the nine Guangdong cities within the Greater Bay Area Economic and Trade Offices should also be set up and endowed with more manpower so that we can more directly help those Hong Kong people who intend to go there or who are already working having started up businesses living or studying there
有專業學會向我反映，政府每次前往內地與內地當局開會商討開放市場、專業互認等問題前，均會"打鑼打鼓"，邀請各學會提供資料和意見，但其後政府究竟與內地的部委討論了甚麼？
Some professional bodies have conveyed to me that every time the Government goes to the Mainland to discuss with the Mainland authorities issues such as opening up markets and mutual recognition of professions they will invite in a high - profile manner professional institutes to give information and opinions before they go . But then what has the Government really discussed with the ministries and commissions in the Mainland?
有否接納香港業界的建議？
Does the other side accept the suggestions of Hong Kong professions?
政府往往全無下文，業界要自行打聽和查詢，專業學會甚至要直接向內地當局問個清楚。
The Government does not come back to us on these . The professional sectors would have to make their own enquiries and the professional institutes even have to ask the Mainland authorities direct about the results of the negotiations
當然，我認同很多涉及政策和法規的問題應該以"政府對政府"的方式處理，但是否可以讓相關專業學會的代表一同出席部分會議？
Of course I agree that many issues which involve policies and regulations should be handled between governments . However can representatives from relevant professional bodies be allowed to attend certain meetings together with you?
特首在選舉時提出，要與香港市民同行。
The Chief Executive set out in her election manifesto her desire to connect with Hong Kong people
相關的政府官員是否也應該做到與香港的專業界別和專業人士同行？
Should the relevant government officials also not be able to connect with the professional sectors and professionals of Hong Kong?
另外，我想提出，政府應鼓勵香港人，特別是年青專業人士加深對內地的認識，參與國家發展的工作。
I would also like to suggest the Government to encourage Hong Kong people especially the young professionals to deepen their understanding of the Mainland and to take part in the development of the country
雖然港府近年已推出不少計劃，協助香港青年人到內地升學及實習交流，但可否推出更多措施幫助他們？
In recent years the Administration has launched many programmes to help Hong Kong young people to study and participate in internship or exchange programmes in the Mainland but can more measures be introduced to help them?
以剛剛在上海開幕的中國國際進口博覽會為例，政府可否提供便利和資助，甚至組團讓香港的年青人到場觀摩呢？
Taking the China International Import Expo which has just been inaugurated in Shanghai as an example can the Government provide facilitation and assistance and even organize deputations of Hong Kong young people to go there to gain an experience?
主席，特首在施政報告提到，"大灣區建設為香港帶來經濟新增長點，並可拓闊香港居民生活空間的機遇。
President the Chief Executive mentioned in the Policy Address that the development of the Greater Bay Area will bring Hong Kong new areas of economic growth and the opportunity to enlarge the living environment of Hong Kong residents
隨着廣深港高鐵香港段、港珠澳大橋和蓮塘/香園圍新陸路口岸相繼開通，粵港澳'一小時生活圈'的布局已基本完備。
With the commissioning of the Hong Kong Section of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link the HZMB and the new land boundary control point at LiantangHeung Yuen Wai a one - hour living circle encompassing Guangdong Hong Kong and Macao is basically formed
" 無可否認，高鐵和港珠澳大橋的開通，大大縮短了往返香港與內地所需的交通時間。
It is undeniable that with the commissioning of the Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong Express Rail Link XRL and the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge HZMB the time required to travel between Hong Kong and the Mainland has been shortened significantly
對於很多需要前往內地工作的專業人士，或者到內地經商的工商界人士來說，這兩項基建的確為他們節省不少時間。
For many professionals who need to work in the Mainland or for businessmen who are doing business in the Mainland these two infrastructure items really save them a lot of time
不過，我希望政府亦能考慮香港市民的需要。
However I hope that the Government will also consider the needs of Hong Kong people
