在該等事件中，有學生闖入並佔據院校辦公室或會議室、粗言辱罵和推撞教職員、阻止他們離開，甚至阻撓救護人員把傷者送院治療。
In those incidents some students broke into and occupied offices or conference rooms of the institutions concerned swearing at and jostling teaching staff barring them from leaving and even obstructing ambulance personnel from sending the injured to the hospital for treatment
有評論指出，校方未有及時報警，致使衝突惡化、增加教職員受辱及受傷的機會，以及令日後的滋事者有恃無恐。
There are comments that the failure of the institutions concerned to report such incidents to the Police in a timely manner caused the confrontations to escalate thereby increasing the odds of teaching staff being subject to insults and injuries as well as emboldening trouble - makers in future to make bolder moves
主席，局長在主體答覆中表示，會在有需要時為院校提供支援及意見。
President the Secretary stated in the main reply that support and advice would be offered to institutions as and when necessary
我作為香港理工大學的舊生，對於該大學最近發生的民主牆風波尤感痛心。
Being an alumnus of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University PolyU I am particularly sad to see the recent controversy over the democracy wall of PolyU
言論自由很重要，但學生亦應該守法，不應做出鼓吹違法違憲和不利香港的事情。
While freedom of speech is vital students should abide by the law and should not advocate anything unlawful and unconstitutional as well as hurting the interests of Hong Kong
學生爭取的是更自由開放的院校......
The students were fighting for a more open and liberal campus
局長，當有議員指示威學生有恃無恐，你可否公開告訴社會，你會竭盡全力保障大專院校學生的言論自由及學術自由，令學校和學生可以更自由地表達意見？
Secretary when student protesters are alleged by a Member as being emboldened to make bolder moves can you please tell the public openly that you will make an all - out effort to protect freedom of speech and academic freedom of tertiary students so that both the institutions and their students can have more freedom in expressing their views?
局長剛才答覆時表示，言論自由要受到限制......
The Secretary stated in his earlier reply that freedom of speech should be subject to restrictions
許智峯議員，請你坐下。
Mr HUI Chi - fung please sit down
主席，有關今次謝偉銓議員提出的質詢，局長已提供答覆。
President on the question raised by Mr Tony TSE the Secretary has made a reply
主席，局長，我自小跟其他香港市民一樣，認為尊師重道是做人的基本要求。
President Secretary just like other people in Hong Kong I always believe that showing respect to teachers is a basic moral principle
可是，近年我們看到大專院校多次發生學生辱罵老師、管理層及校長等事件，學生的行為極不恰當。
Nevertheless in the past few years there were repeated incidents in which teachers management staff and Vice Chancellors were insulted by students . The behavior of those students was grossly inappropriate
很多市民也會問，我們的教育制度是否出現了甚麼問題，以致有此情況？
Many people question whether there are problems with our education system resulting in such a situation
學生"出手"佔領固然問題嚴重，大家都會予以譴責；但部分學生其實會"出口"，例如以粗話及粗話手勢辱罵異見者和侮辱管理者，我們自己也遇過這類行為，亦知道曾經發生這種情況。
While it is seriously wrong and condemnatory for students to employ physical violence in occupy actions some students resorted to verbal violence such as smearing at people with opposing views and insulting management staff with abusive language and rude gestures . We ourselves had such experience and are aware that such incidents have really happened
我想問，教育局局長有否想過，出現這類現象是否因為我們的教育制度出了問題？
I would like to ask the Secretary for Education whether he has ever thought that such phenomena are caused by the problems with our education system
在這一連串事件發生後，局方做了甚麼工作處理這些現象？
After a spate of incidents of this kind what has the Bureau done to deal with these phenomena?
當衝突發生，絕不能只聽一面之詞。
In case of confrontation we must listen to both sides
我作為大學教師，發現大學變得越來越"懲教化"，有大學甚至要重新定義何謂違紀行為，更連使大學聲譽受損及傷害大學與社區關係都被列作辱校行為。
Being a university teacher I find that the correctional element has become more and more prominent in universities . Some universities have gone so far as to redefine disciplinary offences . Acts that harm university reputation and undermine the relationship between the university and the community are regarded as insulting acts
我想問教育局局長，大學不斷以高壓手段管理校政，教育局是支持還是否定呢？
I would like to ask the Secretary for Education whether the Education Bureau supports or opposes the high - handed management approach of universities
教育局會否清楚表明立場？
Will the Education Bureau state its stance loud and clear?
局長未來會否計劃要求這些大學更正這種做法？
Will the Secretary consider asking these universities to correct their management approach in the future?
主席，我支持毛孟靜議員根據《基本法》第七十三條第五項及第十項動議的議案，傳召保安局局長及入境事務處處長到立法會就馬凱事件出示所有相關的文據、簿冊、紀錄或文件，以及作證和提供證據。
President I support the motion moved by Ms Claudia MO under Article 735 and 10 of the Basic Law to summon the Secretary for Security and the Director of Immigration to attend before the Council to produce all relevant papers books records or documents and to testify or give evidence in relation to the Victor MALLET incident
在這次辯論中，多位議員都指出這次事件對香港的損害可以非常大，主要原因是它令人質疑"一國兩制"能否繼續獲得世人的信任。
In this debate many Members have pointed out that this incident can be grossly detrimental to Hong Kong the main reason being that it has called into question whether one country two systems can continue to command the worlds confidence
如果"一國兩制"受到破壞，特別是新聞自由一旦被懷疑是否還在香港存在的話，香港的整體價值便可能會被抹煞，這一點我相信大家都非常明白。
If one country two systems is damaged and in particular if it is open to doubt whether freedom of the press still exists in Hong Kong the value of Hong Kong as a whole may be written off . I believe Members know this full well
在這次事件中，究竟香港是從中得到好處，還是受到損害呢？
Was Hong Kong benefited or harmed in this incident?
我相信細心想想便很清楚。
I believe the answer is clear to anyone who has given a careful consideration to that question
主席，我在2014年1月就"捍衞編輯採訪獨立自主"議案發言時表示，"根據無國界記者公布的新聞自由排名，香港已由2002年的第十八位下跌至2012年的第五十四位，簡直是慘不忍睹。
President in January 2014 when I delivered my speech on the motion on Safeguarding editorial independence and autonomy I said The World Press Freedom Index released by Reporters without Borders reveals that Hong Kongs ranking has dropped from the 18 in 2002 to the 54 in 2012 . This is horrible
經過了今年，我相信排名會跌得更低"。
I believe our ranking after this year will fall even harder
我發言的當時，正值劉進圖被調離《明報》總編輯一職，而一個半月後，他更被人當街斬傷，但至今仍無法得知行兇者的意圖。
When the speech was given LAU Chun - to had just been transferred from the post of Chief Editor of Ming Pao; a month and a half later he was even slashed and wounded in the street but the intention of the attackers is still unknown today
結果，當年香港的新聞自由指數排名首次跌至第七十位。更不幸的是，2017年香港的新聞自由指數排名再創新低，排第七十三位。
Consequently Hong Kongs ranking in the World Press Freedom Index that year dropped to 70 for the first time
法案委員會與政府舉行了3次會議，並邀請相關團體及公眾人士提交意見書。
The Bills Committee has held three meetings with the Administration and invited written views from the related organizations and the public
委員普遍支持《2018年稅務條例草案》的目的，以在薪俸稅及個人入息課稅新設一項特惠扣除，訂定若一份自願醫保計劃保單的保費，是由某納稅人或其同住配偶以保單持有人身份繳付，而有關保單的受保人為納稅人本人或其指明親屬，則可容許納稅人扣除已繳付的保費。
Members generally support the purpose of the Inland Revenue Amendment No . 4 Bill 2018 the Bill to introduce a new concessionary deduction concerning salaries tax and tax under personal assessment . The Bill provides that if premiums for a Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme VHIS policy were paid by the taxpayer or the taxpayers spouse as the holder of the policy and the policy holder is the taxpayer himself or herself or a specified relative of the taxpayer then a deduction of the premiums paid is allowable to the taxpayer
法案委員會曾就"指明親屬"所涵蓋的各類家庭關係進行討論，委員特別關注到，有關待遇上的差別是否有理可據，不會構成歧視及侵害平等權利。
The Bills Committee has discussed various familial relationships covered under the term specified relative . Members have particularly expressed concern on whether the difference in treatment in question is justified and will not constitute discrimination and infringe the right to equality
政府當局並承諾，將在日後有機會時，盡早檢討《條例》現有條文中"兄弟姊妹或配偶的兄弟姊妹"的定義。
The Administration also undertook to review the definition of brother or sister or brother or sister of the spouse in the existing provisions of the Ordinance at the earliest opportunity
此外，有委員關注到，有關納稅人若在香港以外的任何地方，按照當地的法律被同性伴侶領養，則就此所衍生的各類家庭關係，是否合資格成為納稅人的"指明親屬"。
Furthermore Members have expressed concern on whether in relation to a taxpayer who was adopted by a same - sex couple in any place outside Hong Kong according to the law of that place the familial relations arising from the adoption would qualify as the taxpayers specified relative
政府當局表示，就一對伴侶在香港以外任何地方領養兒童的情況而言，《領養條例》第17條或第20F條適用。
The Administration has advised that in case of adoption of children by a couple in any place outside Hong Kong sections 17 or 20F of the Adoption Ordinance Cap . 290 would apply
政府當局承諾，將密切留意相關案例的發展，並會研究一名納稅人被一對同性伴侶在香港以外的任何地方，按照當地法律領養的情況下的稅務相關事宜。
The Administration undertook to keep in view the development of any relevant case law and to look into the taxation - related issue in relation to a taxpayer who was adopted by a same - sex couple in any place outside Hong Kong according to the law of that place
代理主席，根據《條例草案》，每名納稅人在某課稅年度，為每名受保人繳付的合資格保費可容許作出的最高扣除額為8,000元。
Deputy President according to the Bill the maximum deduction allowable to a taxpayer in respect of qualifying premiums paid for each insured person in the year of assessment would be 8,000
委員察悉，根據該建議，約九成標準計劃保單持有人可就其合資格保費全數申索稅務扣除。
Members noted that about 90 % of the policy holders of Standard Plan could have their qualifying premiums fully deductible under the current proposal
此外，每名納稅人可申索稅務扣除的指明親屬數目不設上限。
This apart there would be no cap on the number of specified relatives for whom tax deductions may be claimed by a taxpayer
然而，大部分委員質疑，有關扣除額是否足以鼓勵市民購買自願醫保計劃保單，從而減輕公營醫療體系的壓力。
Nevertheless the majority of members cast doubt as to whether the deduction could provide adequate incentive to encourage people to take up VHIS policies so as to alleviate the pressure on the public health care system
有委員認為，雖然精算顧問的研究結果顯示，在自願醫保計劃實施首3年，預 計約有150萬人會購買或轉移至自願醫保計劃保單，但由於自願醫保計劃現時不設必定承保和保單"自由行"這兩項要求，較高風險人士仍然無法更容易獲得個人償款住院保險的保障。
A member has expressed the view that although according to an actuarial study it is estimated that about 1.5 million people would purchase or migrate to VHIS policies in the first three years of implementation of VHIS a VHIS without the two features of guaranteed acceptance and portable insurance policy could not improve higher - risk groups access to individual indemnity hospital insurance policies
政府當局向委員保證，當局會在自願醫保計劃推行後不時檢討其成效，並會在較後階段再研究有關設立高風險池的建議。
The Administration has assured members that it will review the effectiveness of VHIS from time to time after its implementation and re - examine the proposal of setting up a High Risk Pool HRP at a later stage
當局會在適當時候，就此等事宜向衞生事務委員會匯報。
The authorities will revert to the Panel on Health Services in this regard as and when appropriate
部分委員關注到，在自願醫保計劃下，政府當局將不會規管認可產品的非索償比率或當中的行政費水平。
Some Members have expressed concern that there will be no regulation of the level of expense loading of the Certified Plans under VHIS
應委員的要求，政府當局承諾，日後會考慮透過自願醫保計劃的專屬網站，公布不同自願醫保計劃服務提供者的認可產品的非索償比率資料，以便消費者可以在購買自願醫保計劃保單時，能掌握充分資料以作選擇。
In response to a Members request the Administration has undertaken to consider making public information on expense loading of the Certified Plans offered by different VHIS providers through a dedicated VHIS website so as to facilitate consumers in making informed choices when purchasing VHIS policies
此外，有委員關注到，標準計劃保單有關非手術癌症治療及精神科治療的保障限額，遠不足以應付須接受該等服務的受保人的需要。
In addition members have also expressed concern that the benefit limits for non - surgical cancer treatments and psychiatric treatments are far from adequate to meet the needs of those insured persons requiring such services
他們建議，政府當局應設立機制，定期檢視保障表所載列項目的保障限額。
They suggested that the Administration should put in place a mechanism to regularly review the benefit limits of the items listed in the benefit schedule
郭家麒議員曾表示，有意提出兩項修正案，以修訂"自願醫保計劃保單"的定義，指明自願醫保計劃保單的保障範圍，包括每年不多於5次專科門診服務，以及規定自願醫保計劃的合資格保費用作直接支付醫療開支的比率不低於80%。
Dr KWOK Ka - ki indicated his intention to propose two amendments to the definition of VHIS policy to specify that the coverage of the VHIS policy is to include not more than five specialist outpatient visits per year; and require that no less than 80 % of the qualifying premiums of VHIS policies should be used for direct funding of health care cost
郭家麒議員的兩項擬議修正案，由於被主席裁定會具有改變《條例草案》主題的效力，而並非只是修訂其細節，因此不可提出。
The two proposed amendments of Dr KWOK Ka - ki were ruled inadmissible by the President on the ground that they would have the effect of altering the subject matter of the Bill and not merely amending its details
代理主席，政府當局除了會對《條例草案》下"兄弟姊妹"的定義動議一項修正案外，亦會因應立法會在上一個立法年度已通過的《2018年稅務條例草案》及《2017年稅務條例草案》，而就《條例草案》提出相應的修正案。
Deputy President apart from moving an amendment to the definition of sibling under the Bill the Administration will also move consequential amendments to the Bill in view of the passage of the Inland Revenue Amendment Bill 2018 and the Inland Revenue Amendment No . 6 Bill 2017 in the last legislative session
法案委員會對政府當局稍後提出的修正案，並無異議。
The Bills Committee raises no objection to these amendments to be moved by the Administration
顧名思義，《條例草案》的目的很簡單，就是修訂《條例》並增加一個扣除項目。
As the name of the Bill suggests the purpose of the Bill is very simply to amend the Ordinance and introduce a deduction item
此外，如果一份保單的保費由不同納稅 人承擔，亦可以把扣減額分配給不同納稅人。
Furthermore if the premiums of a policy are paid by a number of taxpayers the deduction can be distributed among them
當然，有保單未必等於公營醫院床位的壓力會得以紓緩。
Certainly the purchase of health policies does not imply that pressure on public hospital beds will be alleviated
從數年前或最近的施政報告的建議可見，政府花在醫療改革的費用其實不少，例如在2008-2009年度有一項500億元的撥款用於醫療改革，以及用於10年公營醫院發展計劃的撥款達2,000億元。
As reflected from the policy addresses in the past few years and the most recent one the Government has spent a lot of money on health care reform . For example in 2008 - 2009 50 billion was allocated to an item for health care reform; and the funding allocated for the 10 - year Hospital Development Plan was 200 billion
當然，我們知道，除了增加設施及器材等硬件外，醫療人手等軟件也非常重要，無論是醫生、牙醫、護士或專職醫療人員，亦缺一不 可。
Certainly we know that apart from increasing the supply of health care hardware such as facilities and equipment it is essential to expand its software such as health care manpower
基本上，這樣便可處理陳志全議員提出的問題，同時又不會損害或影響我們現行的家庭價值或"婚姻"的定義。
Basically this will solve the problem raised by Mr CHAN Chi - chuen on the one hand and not undermine or affect our existing family values or the definition of marriage on the other
我認為這觀點值得在今天的會議上重提。
I think it is worth repeating this view at todays meeting
不論如何，我們透過法案委員會或今天的會議向局方提出想法，希望局方可以考慮這個觀點。
Anyway we have put forward the proposal in the Bills Committee and at todays meeting hoping that the Government will consider it in due course
公道點說，規管這種保險產品並不是食物及衞生局的責任，這點我是理解的。
To be fair it is not the responsibility of the Food and Health Bureau to regulate insurance products and I understand that
我希望局方能夠督促相關部門我所指的是保險業監管局，因為保監局應該負責規管保險產品作出跟進。
I hope that the Government can urge the relevant authority to follow up the matter
我希望未來自願醫保產品推出後，能有足夠透明度，供公眾進行比較。
I hope that after the introduction of VHIS products there will be sufficient transparency for the public to make comparisons
我希望局方聽到我們這項意見，在推行計劃時能夠有所行動。
I hope that the Food and Health Bureau has heard our views and will take suitable actions in implementing VHIS
主席，毛孟靜議員根據《中華人民共和國香港特別行政區基本法》第七十三條第五項及第十項動議議案，旨在傳召保安局局長及入境事務處處長。
President Ms Claudia MO has moved a motion under Article 735 and 10 of the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China to summon the Secretary for Security and the Director of Immigration
眾所周知，在中美貿易摩擦持續的情況下，中國和美國向對方的貨物徵收關稅。
As we all know due to the persistent trade disputes between China and the United States both countries have imposed tariffs on the goods of each other
香港作為經濟高度外向的城市，無論如何也會被波及。
As an externally - oriented economy Hong Kong will be affected anyway
綜觀目前的狀態，這場貿易戰並不是一場簡單的貿易戰。
Judging from the present state of affairs the current trade war is not a simple trade war
香港作為開放型經濟城市，面對這場貿易戰所得到的最大啟示是，除多位議會剛才說我們要融合外，香港其實在國家與國際的定位並非一個普通的中國城市。
As Hong Kong is an externally - oriented economy the biggest insight brought by the trade war is that apart from the need for us to integrate with China as suggested by a number of Members just now Hong Kong should not position itself as an ordinary Chinese city domestically and internationally
我重申，香港並非一個普通的中國城市，而是一個有獨特角色和功能的實際經濟體，這是最重要的一點。
I reiterate that Hong Kong is not an ordinary Chinese city but an economic entity with a unique role and function . This is the most important point
在兩個大國進行政治角力之際，無論是外交和貿易上的衝突，香港根本無法做任何事，亦沒有空間可以介入。
Amid the political wrangling between the two major powers Hong Kong can practically do nothing about the diplomatic and trade conflicts and there is no room for Hong Kong to intervene either
這個信息十分重要，是香港鞏固和維持國際城市和金融中心地位的最重要因素。
This vitally important message is the most important factor for Hong Kong to consolidate and maintain its status as an international city and a financial centre
我認為這種做法絕對不合情、不合理、不合法。
I consider this move absolutely insensible unreasonable and unlawful
當局的確欠這位編輯馬凱先生一個解釋。
The authorities have indeed owed editor Mr MALLET an explanation
他一直以來負責報道亞洲新聞，甚少報道本港政治新聞。
He has all along been responsible for covering Asia news; rarely has he covered political news in Hong Kong
他的視野以亞洲新聞為主，工作範圍亦非以香港為重點。
His attention has been focused on Asia news while Hong Kong has not been the priority of his coverage
然而，為何《金融時報》甚至馬凱要以香港作為工作基地？
However why did the Financial Times and even MALLET choose Hong Kong as the base of their operations?
如沒有準確的資訊及新聞發布，便不會有任何交易，我們的股票市場會變成一潭死水。
Without accurate information and news release there will not be any transactions and our stock market will be similar to a pool of stagnant water
如果沒有資訊，又如何能進行交易？
Without any information how can transactions be conducted?
《基本法》第二十七條訂明，香港居民享有言論、新聞、出版的自由，結社、集會、遊行、示威的自由，組織和參加工會等權利。
Under Article 27 of the Basic Law Hong Kong residents shall have freedom of speech of the press and of publication; freedom of association of assembly of procession and of demonstration; and the right and freedom to form and join trade unions and to strike
就馬凱先生不獲續發簽證一事，當局在未有提供任何理由的情況下拒絕這名記者到港。
Regarding Mr MALLETs visa rejection the authorities have denied the journalists entry to Hong Kong without giving any reason
如他不准俄羅斯總理普京來港，又會否提供理由呢？
If he refuses Russian President PUTINs entry into Hong Kong will he give any reason?
主席，將這件事件提升至國際外交層面，實屬非常愚蠢及不智，這亦是一個非常危險的先例。
President it is indeed very foolish and unwise to elevate the incident to the international and diplomatic level . This has also set a very dangerous precedent
任何壓制新聞自由的舉措，一次也嫌多。
When it comes to any initiative to suppress press freedom one is too many
如果可以，我希望政府可就此事件向《金融時報》作出解釋。
If possible I hope that the Government can offer an explanation to the Financial Times over this incident
如其決定合法、合情、合理，為何不能向當事人披露？
If the decision is lawful sensible and reasonable the Government should inform the parties concerned of the reason shouldnt it?
我到目前為止仍假設保安局的決定合法、合情、合理。
So far I still assume that the Security Bureau has made a lawful sensible and reasonable decision
在一個合法、合情、合理的情況下，局長向有關當事人披露他們的原因，亦屬合法、合情、合理。
Under a lawful sensible and reasonable situation it is indeed lawful sensible and reasonable for the Secretary to disclose their rationale to the parties concerned
主席，我發言反對毛孟靜議員提出的議案。
President I speak against the motion moved by Ms Claudia MO
首先，入境事務處及保安局今次的做法是依法辦事，在法律上絕對站得住腳；亦正如今天很多議員已經在發言中指出，在其他國家都有出現這種情況。
First of all the Immigration Department ImmD and the Security Bureau have acted in accordance with the law in this incident . As many Members have said today similar cases have happened in many other countries
入境處依法辦事，絕對有權拒絕任何人的入境申請，亦無責任一定要交代理由。
ImmD acting in accordance with the law absolutely has the right to refuse the entry of any person and is not obliged to give a reason
這種做法在其他國家亦有先例。
There are precedents of this practice in other countries
主席，我今天聽到很多反對派議員說，不准馬凱入境等於破壞香港的"一國兩制"。
President today I have heard many Members of the opposition camp say that the rejection of Victor MALLETs entry has damaged the implementation of one country two systems in Hong Kong
我想指出，"一國兩制"的"兩制"是建基於"一國"的大前提，香港絕對不能成為一個分裂國家的平台。
I would like to point out that two systems in one country two systems must be premised on one country and Hong Kong absolutely cannot become a platform for secession
如果"一國兩制"中沒有"一國"的大前提，又何來"兩制"呢？
Without the premise of one country underlying one country two systems how can two systems exist?
所以，"一國"的大前提其實是非常重要的。
This is why one country is indeed a very important premise
反對派同事特別喜歡說，"港獨"不成氣候，用不着這麼害怕，用不着小題大做。
Colleagues of the opposition camp are particularly fond of saying that Hong Kong independence is not getting anywhere; there is nothing to be afraid of and we need not make a great fuss over a trifling matter
主席，"港獨"今天雖不成氣候，但如果我們選擇視而不見，翹起雙手，甚麼也不做，不採取任何措施去處理某些情況，難保"港獨"會繼續不成氣候。
President though Hong Kong independence is not getting anywhere today but if we choose to turn a blind eye and sit with our arms crossed without doing anything or taking any action to deal with the situation there is no guarantee that Hong Kong independence will not be successful
早於7月，保安局其實已經宣布，正在考慮引用《社團條例》禁止香港民族黨運作。
As early as in July the Security Bureau announced that it was considering prohibiting the operation of the Hong Kong National Party HKNP under the Societies Ordinance
然而，馬凱先生作為香港外國記者會的主要負責人之一，在 8月依然堅持邀請陳浩天到FCC就"港獨"作演講。
In August however Mr MALLET one of the main persons - in - charge of the Foreign Correspondents Club Hong Kong FCC insisted on inviting Andy CHAN to speak on Hong Kong independence at FCC
其實馬凱先生已經被多番提醒，亦明知道保安局已宣布會考慮禁止香港民族黨運作，即是說，香港民族黨隨時有機會成為一個非法組織。
Mr MALLET had indeed been reminded repeatedly and he should be aware that the Security Bureau had announced its intention to ban the operation of HKNP meaning that HKNP might become an illegal society anytime
簡單而言，就是不斷蠶食或破壞香港與中央政府之間的互信。
To put it simply the mutual trust between the Hong Kong Government and the Central Government is being eroded or ruined
這對"一國兩制"的發展，絕對沒有好處；對香港的經濟發展，亦不會有任何好處。
Surely this will not be conducive to the development of one country two systems and the development of Hong Kongs economy
我要指出，美國的《香港政策法》也是建基於"一國兩制"。
Let me point out that the Act is also premised on one country two systems
如果沒了"一國"這個大前提，《香港政策法》亦會不復存在，亦會變得毫無意義。
Without the premise of one country the Hong Kong Policy Act would no longer exist and would become meaningless
不要忘記，香港在過去百多年的歷史中，一直扮演着讓西方國家進入中國，與中國進行貿易的"南大門"角色。
Let us not forget that Hong Kong has for over a century been the southern gateway for Western countries to enter and trade with China
如果我們失去了國家的支持，失去祖國的聯繫，香港便會失去價值。
Without the support from and connection to the Motherland Hong Kong would lose its value
反對派議員不斷說可以縱容"港獨"不斷發酵，有些議員甚至說香港民族黨也沒甚麼問題，只是談談"港獨"，不成氣候。
Members of the opposition camp have kept saying that Hong Kong independence can be left to fester; some even said that HKNP is not a problem for the mere talk of Hong Kong independence will not get anywhere
這種行為有包庇"港獨"之嫌，甚至根本上是蔑視國家。
Such acts are condoning Hong Kong independence and even showing disrespect for our country
如果我們縱容"港獨"，不做任何事，如我剛才所說，只會挑動香港與中央政府的矛盾，對香港亦會產生很壞的影響。
As I have just said if we connive at Hong Kong independence and do nothing about it conflicts between the Hong Kong Government and the Central Government will be created causing a terrible impact on Hong Kong
我希望大家明白這個道理。
I hope Members will understand this point
代理主席，我覺得今天提出這項議案的議員很無耻。
Deputy President I think the Member who moved this motion today is shameless
香港外國記者會前副主席馬凱不獲特區政府延續工作簽證，她想藉此大做文章，根本是無事生非。
She made a fuss about the SAR Governments rejection of the work visa application of Victor MALLET former Vice President of the Foreign Correspondents Club Hong Kong FCC
她要求傳召官員解釋拒發簽證的原因，實際上有意恐嚇香港人。
She is simply making trouble out of nothing . She requests to summon officials to explain the reasons for refusing to issue a visa but in fact she intends to intimidate Hong Kong people
她說新聞自由受到威脅，甚至暗地裏配合"港獨"風潮，根本是顛倒是非。
She said that freedom of the press was threatened and she even secretly supported the trend of Hong Kong independence; she is fundamentally confounding right and wrong
我想指出，特區政府一向嚴格按照《基本法》辦事，盡力維護新聞和言論自由，根本沒有理由針對馬凱。
I would like to point out that the SAR Government has always acted in strict accordance with the Basic Law and has tried its best to safeguard freedom of the press and freedom of speech . It has no reason to target Victor MALLET at all
那麼多外國記者在港工作都 沒有事，為何只有馬凱一個人出事？
Given that there are so many foreign journalists working in Hong Kong and nothing has happened to them why is it that only Victor MALLET is met with a mishap?
