在家庭方面，我們看到有一段兩代人在酒樓的短片，本來星期日一家人飲茶是很開心的，但年青人堅持要遊行，跟家人發生爭拗，並對家長說了一些十分不敬的說話，雖然家長也說一人少一句，但年青人仿如聽不入耳般。
In respect of families we have seen a video about a family with two generations of its members having tea in a restaurant . At first they were happily having dim sum in a restaurant on a Sunday but the younger member insisted on joining the march . He argued with his family and said something disrespectful to his parents
我不想責怪年青人，但這些年青人的確受到一些不懷好意的人所影響。
Even though his parents suggested that the quarrel should stop the youngster seemed to have turned a deaf ear to his parents . I do not mean to blame the youngsters but they have indeed been influenced by people with malicious intent
在同學、同事之間，有些人希望抱持比較包容、理性、平衡的觀點，亦可能被抹黑為"港豬"等十分難聽的名號，我也不想再引述。
In the circles of classmates and colleagues people who wish to take a more tolerant rational and balanced view may be bad - mouthed and called derogatory names such as Hong Kong pigs and I do not wish to cite any more of such names here
他們甚至被杯葛，在網絡上被unfriend，有人用白色恐怖來形容這一種政治壓力，令人不能夠為公義、為理性發聲。
They may even be boycotted and unfriended on the Internet . Some people have described this kind of political pressure as white terror which inhibits people from speaking up for justice and reason
在警民關係方面，我們除了看到示威者包圍警總之外，也有部分激進網民發動各種手段仇視警察，用以偏概全方式製造撕裂，不僅杯葛警察，更要杯葛他們的家人，甚至在學校杯葛他們的孩子。
In respect of the relations between the Police and the people we have seen protesters besieging the Police Headquarters and this aside some radical netizens have incited animosity against police officers by various means and created rifts using lopsided biased approaches . Not only the Police but also their family members are boycotted and even their children are boycotted in schools
這些都是我無法形容的可耻手段，不斷地製造撕裂。
I would say that these acts are unspeakably shameful and they have been aggravating the social rifts continuously
正如我們建制派不會因為一小部分的暴力和暴徒而說整個抗議行動也是暴力的，但反對派卻最喜歡憑着一兩個鏡頭來抹黑我們的警察。
While we in the pro - establishment camp do not consider all the demonstrations violent because of a small measure of violence and rioters the opposition camp most likes to sling mud at our policemen based on one or two camera shots
如果香港警察的士氣變得十分低落，甚至很多人不願與警察合作，警察如何維持治安、如何打擊罪案呢？
If the Police in Hong Kong have a very low morale or many people are unwilling to cooperate with the Police how could the Police maintain law and order? . And how could they fight crime?
包圍政總的行動，更蔓延至入境事務處、稅務大樓，總之他們便是要癱瘓整個社會，繼續燒，燒至"七一"、燒至選舉，這便是他們的目的。
The approach of besieging had even spread from the Central Government Offices to the Immigration and Revenue Towers and their purpose was precisely to paralyse society as a whole and keep the flames burning until 1 July and the elections . This is their purpose . In fact this is a battlefield without gun smoke
其實，這是個沒有硝煙的戰場，上集反對《逃犯條例》修訂只是藥引，下集向國家施壓才是他們和背後主子的主菜，這是美國對一些它看不過眼的國家的極限施壓，非常常見的組合拳，先利用當地小矛盾挑起 事端，製造國際和美國國內輿論，總之就是要製造制裁。
In Part One the opposition to the amendment of FOO serves only as the fuse and in Part Two pressurizing the State is the main course to them and the mastermind behind it all . This is a very common package of measures used by the United States to exert the utmost pressure on countries not to its liking . First it takes advantage of some minor conflicts in that place to stir up troubles in a bid to arouse opinions internationally and in the United States purely with the objective of imposing sanctions
我一定不會說所有參與表達意見的人也是想配合美國的策略，我相信不是這樣的，大多數香港人也是理智的。
I definitely will not say that all the people who took part in the expression of views intended to provide support for the strategies of the United States . No I do not believe it and I think most Hong Kong people are rational
但是，總有一小撮人會配合美國人和一些不懷好意的外國勢力的劇本，例如藉着G20峰會這次機會向外國施壓，甘心當現代吳三桂。
But there are always a handful of people who provide support to the Americans and to the screenplay of the ill - intentioned foreign forces by for instance seizing the opportunity of the G20 Osaka Summit to put pressure on foreign countries and these people are more than willing to act as the modern - day WU Sangui
昨天有遊行人士打着"解放香港"的口號。
Yesterday some participants of the march held aloft the slogan of Liberate Hong Kong
陳浩天曾明言，解放香港的意思是要美國軍事介入，想當美軍的"帶路黨"，想香港成為敘利亞、伊拉克的翻版。
Andy CHAN once stated clearly that liberating Hong Kong means inviting military intervention from the United States . His intention is to act as an usher for the American army and turn Hong Kong into a duplicate of Syria and Iraq
美國政府、國會和政客高調介入，把香港作為磨心，這些反對派將香港的人頭自動送上，騎劫香港人的民意，將之作為中美博弈中送給美國的籌碼，出賣國家和香港的根本利益。
There has been high - profile intervention from the United States Government Senate and politicians and Hong Kong has been caught between a rock and a hard place . These people in the opposition camp have taken the initiative to hand in the heads of Hongkongers . They have hijacked the opinions of Hongkongers and offered them as stakes to the United States in the game between China and the United States selling out the fundamental interest of the country and Hong Kong
這說法不是我冤枉美國人的，是特朗普自己承認的，他在評論香港的遊行時說："他們顯然有很大的影響力，我認為他們在與中國打交道方面很有效。
This is no wrong accusation made by me against the Americans for it was admitted by Donald TRUMP . In commenting the rallies in Hong Kong he said Theyre obviously having a big impact And I think that theyve been very effective in their dealings with China
"，即是說這件事對於與中國打交道來說十分有效，這說明甚麼呢？
It means that the whole saga is very effective for the dealings with China . What does it show?
外國勢力關注香港些甚麼呢？
What do the foreign forces care about Hong Kong?
我相信越來越多香港市民看得到絕對不是甚麼人權和自由，一切也是這國家的自私、America first的利益，即美國的全球霸權，包括金融霸權和軍事霸權，而背後的政治能量和國家能量是非常巨大的，如果將香港放在鬥爭的最前線，後果真的不堪設想。
I believe more and more Hong Kong citizens can see that they care absolutely not about human rights and freedoms as everything boils down to this countrys selfish America first interest or in other words it all boils down to the global hegemony of the United States including financial hegemony and military hegemony and as the political energy and national powers behind all this are huge if Hong Kong is placed in the forefront of the struggle the consequences would really be too ghastly to contemplate
大家也知道"一國兩制"有一個底線中的底線，便是外交和軍事由中央直接管轄。
We all know that one country two systems has a most important bottom line and that is diplomatic and military affairs are under the direct control of the Central Authorities
區諾軒議員和楊岳橋議員均提到愛國，這些人說愛國，主席，我真的不能接受，我覺得有點兒較粗口更難聽。
When these people talked about loving the country President I really find it unacceptable and I think it is even more unpleasant to the ear than swear words
他們一次又一次挑動香港與國家的矛盾，將本來在1994年中英外交協議的一部分，而且是有防務需要的安排說成"割地送中"，凡事將香港與國家對立起來，火 上加油。
They have over and over again incited conflicts between Hong Kong and the State and an arrangement made for defence needs as provided for under a Sino - British agreement signed in 1994 is described by them as cessation of land to China
他們知道在法理上沒有可能"港獨"，但他們嘗試在市民之間製造精神上、意識上的"港獨"，將國家視為他者，與香港完全分割，完全沒有合作的空間，這正正是破壞"一國兩制"的根基，將香港推向非常危險的境地，將香港綁上美國的戰車來對抗國家。
They seek to put Hong Kong and the State in diametrically opposing positions adding fuel to the flames . Knowing that Hong Kong independence is impossible by all principles of law they tried to create among the public a spirit or an awareness of Hong Kong independence cultivating a sense of alienation from the country and promoting complete severance of Hong Kong from the country leaving no room at all for cooperation . This has precisely damaged the foundation of one country two systems pushing Hong Kong into a most perilous situation and tying Hong Kong onto the chariot of the United States in fighting against the country
對此，香港人真的要看清楚。
Hong Kong people must really see the picture clearly
香港混亂，誰最開心呢？
Who is the happiest when Hong Kong is in chaos?
當然是唯恐天下不亂的人。
Of course it is those people who are always ready to stir up troubles
除此之外，沒有人會感到開心，又或唯外國勢力馬首是瞻的人，甘心成為棋子，甘心做"買辦"。
No one else will be happy about it . Or those people who follow the lead of foreign forces and who are willing to become their pawns and act as compradors
他們不習慣我們的國家終於強大起來、不習慣中國人終於有尊嚴，在國際舞台上佔一席位。
They are not used to seeing our country finally becoming strong and powerful and they are not used to seeing Chinese people finally having dignity and occupying a niche on the international stage
最開心的莫過於壹傳媒的黎智英，在事件最熱烘烘的1個月，壹傳媒這間近年完全沒有盈餘或盈利的公司的股價可以急升1倍。
The happiest is certainly Jimmy LAI of Next Digital . In the month when this issue was debated most heatedly the stock price of Next Digital which has recorded neither a surplus nor a profit in recent years could surge by 100 %
根據我們的調查，大部分的交易是經過一間美資的大行成交，背後是甚麼原因，明眼人不難理解，所以我不再解釋。
Our investigation shows that most of the transactions were made through a major American firm . What is the reason behind it? . To people with discerning eyes it is not at all difficult to understand why and so I will not further explain it
有人說這麼多社會矛盾是因為香港沒有普選，這也是反對派的"萬能key"，亦有人說因為香港沒有就《基本法》第二十三條立法，所以那些牛鬼蛇神可以有恃無恐，全部走出來，這些也是歷史的遺憾。
Some people said that there are so many conflicts in society because Hong Kong does not have universal suffrage and this is also a universal template of the opposition camp . Some people said that it is because Hong Kong has not enacted legislation on Article 23 of the Basic Law and therefore those demons and monsters are emboldened and have all come out . These are regrets in history
我們沒有普選是因為2015年反對派否決我們的政改方案。
We do not have universal suffrage because the opposition camp voted down the constitutional reform package in 2015
我經常強調，沒有普選最大的受害人是"打工仔"和基層市民，這些都是"一國兩制"繞不過的課題。
As I have always stressed the wage earners and the grass roots are made to suffer the most in the absence of universal suffrage
在這狀態下、在這麼大的爭拗下，香港的社會、立法會能夠有共識討論事情嗎？
These are issues that one country two systems cannot get around . Under the current circumstances and given such extensive controversies is it possible for the community of Hong Kong and the Legislative Council to reach a consensus on holding discussions on these issues?
我們能夠通過需要有三分之二立法會議員支持的方案嗎？
Is it possible for us to pass a proposal requiring the support of two thirds of Members of the Legislative Council?
不過，幸好香港尚算有根基，有萬億元的儲備，經濟基調也不錯，但是否可以好好利用呢？
But fortunately Hong Kong still has a good foundation . We have a reserve amounting to 1,000 billion and sound economic fundamentals . But can these be put to good use?
張建宗司長也在席，我要批評一下，過去政府在發展經濟方面真的忽略了基層勞工的訴求。
Chief Secretary Matthew CHEUNG is in the Chamber and I have to make some criticisms . The Government has really ignored the aspirations of grass - roots workers in the development of the economy
"打工仔"、勞工界的訴求多年來也是"龜速"推進。
Over the years work has been taken forward at turtle speed to meet the aspirations of wage earners and the labour sector
對於這些社會問題，政府過去有不少缺失，亦未有決心解決。
With regard to these social problems the Government has made quite a lot of mistakes before and it does not have the resolve to find solutions to the problems
我們亦希望在席的所有議員理解，我們在推動"打工仔"的訴求時，並非純粹站在"打工仔"的角度，同時亦站在整體社會的角度。
We hope that all Members in this Chamber will appreciate that we champion for the aspirations of wage earners not purely from the perspective of wage earners but also from the perspective of society as a whole
我認為其實 我們現在應停一停，正如張華峰議員的議案目的，希望社會能夠恢復穩定，恢復營商環境。
I think actually we should pause for a while now . We hope that stability and the business environment can be restored in society which is also the objective of Mr Christopher CHEUNGs motion
我希望政府能夠有迎難而上的決心。
I hope the Government can have the determination to rise to challenges
事實上，大家也知道，如果這項休會待續議案獲得通過，意味着本來會討論的議項，包括大家非常關注的解放軍軍事碼頭，以至傳召鄭若驊及不信任政府的議案將不獲討論。
In fact we all know that if the motion for adjournment of the Council is passed it implies that the items of business scheduled for discussion including the military dock of the Peoples Liberation Army which is of great concern to Honourable colleagues the motion to summon Theresa CHENG and the motion of no confidence in the Government will not be discussed
各位，我形容這是"斬腳趾避沙蟲"。
Honourable colleagues I describe this as trimming the toes to fit the shoes
相比"林鄭"，我至少覺得司長願意聆聽究竟發生甚麼事，究竟怎樣才能夠解決眼前的困局？
Compared to Carrie LAM I reckon at least that the Chief Secretary is willing to lend an ear to exactly what has happened and exactly what can be done to resolve the current deadlock
司長可能會問，現時的亂局是怎樣造成的？
The Chief Secretary may ask How did the present chaos come about
這是大家都知道的，我們不可以當甚麼事都沒有發生。
This is obvious to all and we cannot pretend that nothing has ever happened
我們或許可以用這10多分鐘發言時間，嘗試好好整理一下。
Recounting the events since the formation of the Bills Committee to the attempt to bypass the Bills Committee and table the Bill direct to the meeting of the Legislative Council perhaps we can try to properly organize these events in the 10 minutes and more of speaking time
在過去一兩星期，無論大家持甚麼立場，讓我們想想在這過程中政府有多少不足，政府做得有多差，然後才造成今天的局面。
Regarding the events that occurred over the past one or two weeks let us put aside our stances and identify how the inadequacies and poor performance of the Government in the course have led to the situation today
由100萬人遊行開始，大家已經不會質疑遊行人士的數字，因為大家真的看到，願意參與的朋友都有一個信念，就是香港要有獨立的司法制度。
Since the procession with a million participants people have stopped doubting the turnout . It is evident that those willing to participate all hold the belief that an independent judicial system is essential to Hong Kong
我們有一條界線名為"一國兩制"，我們擔心打開缺口之後，香港人日後會否被送返內地受審？
There is a boundary called one country two systems . We are worried that once a gap is opened Hongkongers may be surrendered to the Mainland to stand trials
我們不信任內地的司法系統，我們感到擔心，所以出來參加遊行。
We distrust the judicial system of the Mainland and we feel anxious so we participated in the procession
在當天晚上遊行完結後不足1小時，我們看到新聞稿，說如期在6月12日直接提交立法會大會，恢復《條例草案》的二讀。
In less than an hour after the end of the procession that night we learnt from the press release that the Bill would be submitted to the meeting of the Legislative Council direct as scheduled on 12 June for resumption of its Second Reading
在6月11日凌晨時分，我一直在附近，相信司長也知道，因為我相信司長即使未必在現場，也一定十分留意新聞，這是他的習慣，所以他至少會知道6月11日晚上是撕裂的開始。
I believe the Chief Secretary also knows that . He might not be there yet he must have paid close attention to the news for this is his habit . Hence he at least would know that the dissension began in the evening of 11 June
因為當晚在金鐘站，一些市民向我們求助，表示他們被警員要求一字排開，被當作罪犯般審問。
In that evening at the Admiralty Station of MTR some citizens sought assistance from us saying that they were requested by police officers to stand in a line and be interrogated as if they were criminals
在當日的集會上，連建制派的同事也會承認很多都是和平示威請願的市民。
As regards the assembly that day even Honourable colleagues from the pro - establishment camp admitted that many of them were citizens holding a peaceful demonstration and petition
於是，我們便會問一個問題，誰決定開槍？
Accordingly we would ask the question Who made the decision to open fire?
你會說這是因為現場的情況。
You may say it was due to the situation at the scene
我想指出，警隊士氣低落，無非是因為高層與前線指揮官割席。
I wish to point out that the low morale of the Police Force should all be attributed to the top management severing its tie with frontline commanders
特首說與她無關、局長說與他無關、局長說處長負責、處長說這是現場指揮官負責，與他無關。
The Chief Executive said she was not involved; the Secretary said he was not involved and that the Commissioner was responsible for it; the Commissioner said the commanders on scene were in charge of it and that he was not involved
她一次又一次錯過挽救的黃金機會，連道歉都要"擠牙膏"。
She had missed the golden opportunity for remedy over and again and even her apology was made like squeezing toothpaste out of a tube
在6月12日當天至200萬人遊行之前的短短數天，我們在此期間經歷了甚麼呢？
In the several days between 12 June and the procession of 2 million participants what did we experience?
那種精神的拉緊、那種白色恐怖，我相信司長本人也不想看到，但最低限度政府能否讓大家有一份安心，脫離這種陰霾呢？
I believe even the Chief Secretary himself does not wish to see such taut nerves and white terror . But should the Government not at least make people feel at ease and spared such gloom?
看來還要花很多工夫。
It seems a great deal of work has to be done
如果用司長的說法就是溝通，但大家要記得，一系列的事件現時像雪球般在滾大，由同學肺部感到疼痛但不敢到公立醫院求診，然後是懷疑有警員曾經到香港大學搜尋學生宿舍而令人大驚，以至這星期連續發生的一系列不同的事件，以及一件我不想再提的事情。
Quoting the Chief Secretary such work is communication . However Honourable colleagues ought to remember that a series of events is now snowballing First students suffering from lung pain dared not seek treatment at public hospitals; then police officers were suspected of conducting searches in the student hostel of the University of Hong Kong triggering great shocks; an array of different incidents occurred successively this week; and also a matter that I do not wish to mention again happened
代理主席，事實上，在200萬人遊行之前，政府有足足一星期的時間，她沒有理由不明白，我亦相信有人曾苦口婆心勸這個如此強勢又"好打得"的林鄭月娥。
Deputy President as a matter of fact before the procession of 2 million participants the Government had a full week . There was no reason that she did not understand it and I also believe some people must have tendered some kind words of permission to Carrie LAM who is so dominating and such a good fighter
我希望那位同事這樣說只是一時之氣，因為那位同事是個真性情的人，經常都是想到甚麼便說甚麼。
I hope that Honourable colleague said so just in a fit of temper for that Honourable colleague is a straightforward person and often just speaks whatever comes to her mind
我不想看到所謂暫緩一兩個月後，又再提交上來，因為現時的撕裂正在發生，政府是否能夠給群眾及現時不滿的香港市民一個更清晰及看得見的交代？
I do not wish to see that after the so - called suspension for a month or two the Bill is submitted again . The dissension is developing now . Can the Government not give a clearer and more noticeable explanation to the public and the discontented Hong Kong citizens?
我們看到的是，無論你的政見或光譜的位置如何，甚至你是支持政府也好，你都會擔心學生，這個情況我們是看到的。
We see that regardless of political views or positions on the political spectrum even if you support the Government you would worry about the students . This is the situation we see now
現時這個結放在眼前，要把它解開，而解開這個結有很多方法，老實說，這並不應該在這項休會待續議案提出來討論，因為正如我在發言開首時所說，這項議案一旦通過，接下來有很多情況都不能夠跟進。
And in the face of such an impasse we have to resolve it . And there are many ways to do so . Frankly speaking it should not be discussed in the debate of the adjournment motion as I said at the beginning of my speech because once this motion is passed many subsequent items cannot be followed up
這並非一個好的場景，但最少我想在這個時空能夠與司長直接對話。
This is not a desirable occasion but at least I wish to have a direct dialogue with the Chief Secretary in this forum now
現時其實有很多事情可以做，包括成立獨立調查委員會，以還原事件的真相，了解當時警方哪位高層下決定，令前線要面對這壓力？或許也可看看整件事的走向是怎樣的？
Right now indeed there are many things that can be done including setting up an independent commission of inquiry to uncover the truth of the incident so as to identify who from the top management of the Police had made the decision that put the front line under such pressure and possibly examine the direction and development of the entire incident as well
除了透過"擠牙膏"方式回應是不妥當外，而政府亦已就此道歉，但為何公眾不接受呢？
It is inadvisable to give responses in a manner of squeezing toothpaste out from a tube and the Government has also apologized for it but why did the public not accept it?
是否應該以史為鑒，再想想如何走下去？
Should we draw lessons from history and ponder our way forward?
最重要的是，為何在雞蛋與高牆之間，雞蛋在如此脆弱的情況下仍然要堅持己見？
Most importantly between the eggs and the high wall why do the eggs still adhere to their opinions given their frailty?
高牆有的是你們的權力、你們的制度及裝備。
The high wall has your powers your systems and equipment
但是，雞蛋仍繼續發聲，而雞蛋的要求或訴求是很卑微的，也就是你們撤回這條惡法；你們不要把"六一二"定義為暴動；你們協助追究當時警方有否濫用暴力，令一些市民能夠脫離白色恐怖。
Nevertheless the eggs remain vocal and their requests or aspirations are most humble you withdraw such a draconian law; you do not categorize the 612 incident as a riot; you assist in pursuing whether or not the Police had employed excessive force at the scene so as to free some people from white terror
司長或許也知道，我經常形容在場的市民或到不同地方遇到的市民為"手足"，手足的意思是甚麼？
The Secretary may also notice that I often refer to citizens at the scene or citizens I meet in different places as buddies . What does buddies mean?
手腳流血，我們會痛，我們真的很擔心。
If our buddies bleed we will feel the pain and we will truly be worried
我們一眾民主派議員，雖然很多都曾去過前線，但是從來沒有見過這種情況。
Though many of us Members from the pro - democracy camp have been to the front line we have never seen such a situation . Dr Fernando CHEUNG even came under tremendous pressure . He went to the forefront and persisted in peaceful resistance
村上春樹有一句說話是這樣的："高牆與雞蛋，我們永遠站在雞蛋那邊"；但對於這次的運動，我會多加一句：我們站在雞蛋前邊，保護雞蛋不要破，保護我們的學生，保護我們的年青人。
Haruki MURAKAMI once made a statement to the effect that between the high wall and the eggs we will forever stand on the side of the eggs . But as regards this movement I would add one statement We will stand in front of the eggs to protect the eggs from breaking to protect our students and protect our young people
事情發展到這一刻，其實已經令人很心酸。
It indeed grieves us to see how the incident has developed so far
正如我在發言開始時所說，解鈴還須繫鈴人。
As I said at the beginning of my speech let him who tied the bell on the tiger take it off
現時"林鄭"不敢出來回應，或許以她的性格，無法接受一個這麼大的挫敗，但"有錯要認，打要企定"。
Now Carrie LAM dares not come out to make a response . Perhaps considering her personalities she could not accept such a major setback . But one should own up to his mistakes and take the punishment direct and straight
連日來，建制派同事都幫她擋了不少，為何她不可以走出來，正正式式一口氣、一次過把事情做好？
Over the past several days Honourable colleagues from the pro - establishment camp have shielded her from a lot of attacks . Why can she not come out and formally get things done altogether in one go?
我們不想再看到多一位手足出事、不想再看到多一位手足流血、亦不想再看到多一位手足受傷。
We do not wish to see anything happen to another buddy; we do not wish to see another buddy bleed nor another buddy get injured
連日來，我相信我們的議員同事都很疲倦，大家已經習慣這種生活。
Over these few days I believe Honourable colleagues must have all been very fatigued . We have all got used to such a routine
很多時候，我們都嘗試努力化干戈為玉帛，但我真的很擔心，這場運動日後會否有一場大干戈呢？
Most of the times we have all tried to put an end to the conflicts and make peace . But I am really very worried if a major battle will await the end of this movement . And we will not be able to make peace
我們不能將之化成玉帛，所以，我們希望司長想想方法，雖然這並非一個最好的場合，但我相信他是用心聆聽的，好嗎？
Therefore we hope that the Chief Secretary can figure out some ways . Though it is not the most desirable occasion I believe he is listening wholeheartedly isnt he? . Think about it and come up with some solutions
想一想，"度一度橋"，不要讓它自然地發生，不要以為不回應，等待群眾自己出錯，運動瓦解便算數。
Do not just let it chart its own course . Do not think that things will be settled by giving no responses waiting for the public to make mistakes themselves and then the movement will fall apart
這是一代人的裂痕，一代人的撕裂，是需要繫鈴人林鄭月娥去處理的。
It is the rift of a generation the dissension of a generation which needs to be handled by Carrie LAM the person who created it in the first place
主席，對於張華峰議員提出的這項議案，我基本上表示支持。
President regarding this motion proposed by Mr Christopher CHEUNG I am basically in support of it
當然反對派的同事指，這項議案是浪費時間，轉移視線，但我不贊同這說法。
My colleagues from the opposition camp will certainly say that this motion is a waste of time and a red herring but I disagree
議案基本圍繞"六一二"事件，以及6月發生的多次群眾集會，包括近來每天發起的行動，例如圍堵稅務大樓、律政中心等，而6月12日則是立法會綜合大樓和政府總部被圍堵。
The motion is basically centred on the 12 June incident and the various public assemblies that took place in June including campaigns initiated on a daily basis such as besieging the Revenue Tower and the Justice Place . On 12 June the Legislative Council Complex and the Central Government Offices were besieged
就此，有人認為"解鈴還須繫鈴人"。
In this connection some hold that it is up to the doer to undo the knot
就特首推動修訂《逃犯條例》的工作，我由始至終認為她做得恰當，原因有3個。
Regarding the work of the Chief Executive in amending the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance FOO I have all along considered that she has done her job properly . There are three reasons
對於沒有與香港簽署恆常協定的地方，便會按照個案形式處理，亦會考慮《引渡示範條約》所包含的人權、公民權利和政治權利等。
For jurisdictions that had not entered into permanent agreements with Hong Kong a case - by - case approach would be adopted and considerations would also be given to human rights civil and political rights etc . covered by the Model Treaty on Extradition
台灣是中華人民共和國神聖領土的一部分。
Taiwan is part of the sacred territory of the Peoples Republic of China
這是另一回事，因為昨日有昨日的潘曉穎，難保明天有另一個類似潘曉穎的個案出現，亦難保後天不是由蔡英文擔任總統時，台灣的新領導人真正有良心，願意接收疑犯，難道我們那時才修例嗎？
This was a different matter . Given that we had the POON Hiu - wing case no one could ensure that another similar case would not occur tomorrow nor could one ensure that when TSAI Ing - wen no longer served as the President a new leader in Taiwan with conscience would not be willing to accept the transfer of the suspect . In that case should we initiate the legislative amendment exercise only until then?
