等於有些學校的老師也不肯做檢測這是身為學校的一個社會責任，不管那是私校、國際學校還是官立學校。
In the case of teachers who refuse to undergo testing it is a social responsibility of the school whether it be a private school international school or government school to require them to do so
起初，我認為好像處罰"垃圾蟲"般便可，我們小時候宣傳要清潔香港，丟一顆瓜子殼在地上都是"垃圾蟲"。
At first I thought we could easily deal with them in a similar way as we punish litterbugs . In campaigns to clean Hong Kong when we were kids one would be called a litterbug for simply throwing a melon seed shell on the ground
對於這些學校，我不管有何政治原因，它們便是"垃圾蟲"，同樣沒有公德心。
Political reasons aside these schools are exactly litterbugs without a sense of social responsibility
大家在投票日看看那些公公婆婆，日曬雨淋，拿着拐杖，我曾經到我的選區看過幾個票站，他們真的為了投我們一票而走到很遠，所以真的很殘忍，這樣也不願意借出場地旁邊便有一間學校了。
I went to a few polling stations in my constituency and some elderly people really walked a long way with their walking sticks in either a sunny or rainy polling day to vote for us . It is thus really cruel that a school is unwilling to make available its premises when it is right in the vicinity
即使政府那麼寬鬆，並沒有訂為刑事責任，即使是刑事責任都不是嚴重的，只好像"垃圾蟲"、亂過馬路、非法泊車那種，這根本是沒有公德心，大家正正要一起譴責這些學校和機構。
The Government is so lenient and does not make it a criminal offence . Even if a criminal offence is to be introduced it will not be that serious just like the offences of littering jaywalking and illegal parking . This is simply a lack of a sense of social responsibility and these schools and organizations are exactly the ones that should be condemned
它們應該顧及社會大眾，鼓勵更多人容易投票，這是家家有求，不可再因政治而剝奪市民的方便投票權。
They should have regard to the public and encourage more people to vote by making it easier . This will meet the needs of everyone . We should no longer deprive people of their right to vote conveniently because of politics
主席，我發言支持把經修正或無經修正的條文納入《2021年完善選舉制度條例草案》。
Chairman I speak to support that the provisions with or without amendments stand part of the Improving Electoral System Bill 2021 the Bill
《條例草案》就15個範疇建議修訂8項主體法例及24項附屬法例，涉及464條修正條文，可說是一個大手術，但在手術完成後，一系列優化選舉的安排便得以落實，讓"一國兩制"在"愛國者治港"的大原則下實踐並行穩致遠，以確保香港的長遠繁榮穩定。
The Bill proposes amending eight principal Ordinances and 24 items of subsidiary legislation in 15 areas involving 464 amendment clauses which can be described as a major operation . Upon completion of the operation however a series of arrangements for electoral enhancement will be put in place to facilitate the successful and steadfast implementation of one country two systems under the primary principle of patriots administering Hong Kong thereby ensuring the long - term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong
自由黨支持政府因應新構建的選舉制度，延後選民登記的期限至7月5日。
The Liberal Party supports the Government in postponing the deadline for voter registration to 5 July in the light of the newly - reconstituted electoral system
不過，40個選舉委員會界別分組的合資格選民需要在1個月內重新登記，時間確實有點緊迫。
However as eligible voters of the 40 subsectors of the Election Committee EC have to register anew within one month the time frame is really tight
特別是政府在今次《條例草案》中明確規定，團體委任投票人為獲授權代表須由相關團體的管理單位委任，團體例如法團、公司或組織及商會等，或須召開特別會議，就決定獲授權代表作討論並通過，程序需時。
This is particularly so given that the Government has explicitly provided in the present Bill that the appointment of an authorized representative of a corporate voter must be made by the governing authority of the relevant organizations . For organizations such as owners corporations companies or chambers of commerce they may have to convene a special meeting to discuss and pass the decision on appointing the authorized representative and the procedure takes time
因此，政府必須就選民登記作適當的宣傳，避免合資格的選民錯過登記日期。
Hence the Government must conduct appropriate promotion on voter registration to ensure that eligible voters will not miss the registration deadline
與此同時，由於選舉制度是重新建構的，各界別分組的團體選民未必清楚了解新安排，其間必定會有很多疑問，選舉事務處必須安排足夠人手解答選民的查詢。
At the same time due to the reconstitution of the electoral system corporate voters of various subsectors may not understand the new arrangement clearly and they will surely have a lot of queries during the period . As such the Registration and Electoral Office must deploy adequate manpower to answer voters enquiries
就投票的安排，過往政府為鼓勵市民盡公民責任投票，會盡量徵用一些地理位置較方便的社福機構或政府補助學校作為投票站及點票站。
Regarding the voting arrangement in the past in order to encourage the public to fulfil their civic responsibility via voting the Government would procure certain welfare organizations or government - subsidized schools in convenient locations for use as polling stations and counting stations
可是，近年有些學校及社福機構不時以影響學生上課或活動為由而拒絕借用，令政府在尋找場地作為投票站時遇到一定困難。
Nonetheless in recent years certain schools and welfare organizations have from time to time refused to make available their premises on the grounds of affecting the lessons or activities of students . Thus the Government has encountered considerable difficulties in finding venues for use as polling stations
雖然政府建議對拒絕借出場所的學校施加罰則，但只是區區1萬元，毫無阻嚇力。
Though the Government has proposed imposing penalty on schools refusing to make available their premises the penalty of merely 10,000 has no deterrent effect
自由黨歡迎政府接納建議，提升罰則，但對於5萬元是否足以具阻嚇作用仍然有所保留，不過，自由黨仍然會予以支持。
The Liberal Party appreciates that the Government has accepted the proposal to raise the penalty yet we have reservation about whether the penalty of 50,000 will be a sufficient deterrent . Nonetheless the Liberal Party will still support the amendment
至於"關愛隊"，過往曾有建議要求政府安排讓長者或有需要的人士優先投票，但選舉管理委員會則基於所謂公平及平等的原則，堅持每位選民均須無差別排隊進入投票站投票，因此出現了"代排隊"的情況。
As for caring queues in the past there were suggestions urging the Government to grant priority to the elderly or persons in need in voting . However the Electoral Affairs Commission insisted that based on the so - called principles of fairness and equality every voter must queue indiscriminately to enter the polling stations to cast their votes which has given rise to the situation of queuing up for another person
雖然投票站主任或可安排有需要人士坐下，但仍需按其排隊次序輪候，且做法並不劃一，最終只會減低有關群組的投票意欲。
Though Presiding Officers may arrange persons in need to be seated the voters concerned have to follow the queue and wait for their turn to cast the vote and the practice has not been standardized . This will eventually undermine the desire of the relevant groups to vote
為顧及長者及有需要人士，自由黨歡迎政府開設"優先隊伍"，讓指定人士優先投票。
To take care of the elderly and persons in need the Liberal Party welcomes the Governments proposal to set up caring queues for specified persons to vote
至於政府把使用"優先隊伍"的長者年齡設定在70歲，而不是一般被界定為長者的65歲，這是可以理解的，若"優先隊伍"所涵蓋的人 數過多，排隊的時間就越長，失去"優先隊伍"的意義。
As for the Governments proposal to set the eligible age of elderly persons for using caring queues at 70 instead of 65 which is generally defined as the elderly it is understandable . If too many people are eligible to use caring queues the waiting time will be extended and it will defeat the purpose for setting up caring queues
何況若70歲以下的長者有需要，只要向投票站主任提出，同樣可獲安排在"優先隊伍"輪候，因此自由黨並沒有異議。
Besides elderly persons below 70 who are in need may raise their need to the Presiding Officers and they can also be placed in caring queues . For this reason the Liberal Party has no objection
主席，科技發展一日千里，我們應該善用科技，以提升整個選舉的效率。
Chairman in view of the rapid development in technology we should make the best of technology in enhancing the efficiency of election as a whole
事實上，香港作為國際都會，今天還停留在用人手核對選民資料、派發選票甚或點票，是非常落後的，不單減低效率，而且容易被人玩弄選票，對選舉不公。
In fact in a cosmopolitan city like Hong Kong it is extremely outdated that we are still verifying electors information distributing ballot papers and even counting votes manually . The practice is not merely inefficient but is also prone to vote manipulation and unfair election
因此，自由黨支持在各個選舉中使用電子選民登記冊。
As such the Liberal Party supports the use of electronic register of electors in all elections
主席，自由黨支持《2021年完善選舉制度條例草案》三讀並通過，謹此陳辭。
Chairman with these remarks the Liberal Party supports the Third Reading and the passage of the Improving Electoral System Bill 2021
落實"一國兩制"，是國家的大業，國家一定要香港成功。
Implementing one country two systems is a major undertaking of the country and the country wants Hong Kong to succeed no matter what
過去10年，香港的繁榮穩定似乎也受到挑戰，所以在這個時候，一定要透過堵塞漏洞，完善我們的選舉制度，令"一國兩制"繼續向前走，而且走得更好。
It seems that Hong Kongs prosperity and stability have been challenged over the past decade . Hence we must plug the loopholes at this juncture to improve our electoral system so that one country two systems can go on and lead us to a better future
我們今天通過《條例草案》之後，便進入一個新的里程碑。
A new milestone will be reached with the passage of the Bill today
我記得在今年年初，當中央提到即將有機會修改《基本法》附件一和附件二，並提到時間表是要在1年內完成3場選舉的時候，我內心也認為應該不可能。
I remember that when the Central Authorities mentioned early this year the imminent possibility of amending Annex I and Annex II to Basic Law as well as a time frame of one year to complete three elections I just thought that it was not quite possible to do so
根據我們僅有的認識，如果要這樣進行條例修訂，會是一項非常困難的工作。
Given that little knowledge we had amending the legislation in this way would mean a Herculean task
然而，有志者事竟成。
However where there is a will there is a way
我有份參與有關法案委員會的工作，看到負責的政府官員十分努力，法案委員會亦十分努力提出我們的意見，大家終於走到這一步。
Having engaged in the Bills Committees work I could see the hard work of the government officials in charge as well as the efforts of the Bills Committee in voicing our views . Well we have made it at long last
我認為國家下了很大決心，要我們改變，是朝向好的方向、朝向善治的方向改變，所以香港也要爭氣。
I think the country has taken the bull by the horns to make us change in a direction which will be good for us that is a change towards better governance . And so Hong Kong itself must also strive for excellence
在通過《條例草案》之後，我希望在"愛國者治港"原則已經落實的情況下，行政、立法和司法能夠互相分工，相互制衡，互相尊重，互相鞭策，從而為市民作出最好的施政。
I hope that upon passage of the Bill and by the time the principle of patriots administering Hong Kong is already in place the Governments executive legislative and judicial arms will be able to divide the work among themselves exercise checks and balances among one another and have due respect for and motivate one another in order to achieve best governance
委員已獲得通知，全體委員會會合併辯論各項條文及修正案。
Members have been informed that the committee
第1至464條。
Clauses 1 to 464
代理主席，引入候選人資格審查機制是今次完善選舉制度的其中一個重要部分。
Deputy Chairman the introduction of a candidate eligibility review mechanism is an important component of the improvement of the electoral system this time around
根據全國人民代表大會今年3月11日公布的《決定》，香港特區應當健全和完善有關資格審查制度機制，確保候選人資格符合《基本法》、《香港國安法》、全國人民代表大會常務委員會關於《基本法》第一百零四條的解釋和關於香港特別行政區立法會議員資格問題的決定，以及香港特區本地有關法律的規定。
Pursuant to the decision adopted by the National Peoples Congress NPC on 11 March this year the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR shall improve the system and mechanisms related to qualification review to ensure that the qualifications of candidates are in conformity with the Basic Law the Hong Kong National Security Law the NPC Standing Committees interpretation of Article 104 of the Basic Law the NPC Standing Committees decision on the qualification of HKSAR Legislative Council Members and provisions of relevant local laws of the HKSAR
全國人大常委會在3月30日公布新修訂的《基本法》附件一及附件二，當中清楚列明候選人資格審查委員會負責審查並確認行政長官、選舉委員會及立法會議員候選人的資格。
On 30 March the Standing Committee of NPC announced the amended Annex I and Annex II to the Basic Law which clearly provide that the Candidate Eligibility Review Committee CERC shall be responsible for reviewing and confirming the eligibility of candidates for the office of Chief Executive for Election Committee EC members and for Members of the Legislative Council
香港特別行政區維護國家安全委員會是根據警務處維 護國家安全部門的審查情況，就行政長官候選人、選委會委員候選人及立法會議員候選人是否符合擁護《基本法》、效忠香港特別行政區的法定要求和條件作出判斷，並就不符合上述法定要求和條件的人，向資審會發出審查意見書。
The Committee for Safeguarding National Security of HKSAR CSNS shall on the basis of the review by the department for safeguarding national security of the Police Force make findings as to whether a candidate for the office of Chief Executive for EC member or for Member of the Legislative Council meets the legal requirements and conditions of upholding the Basic Law and swearing allegiance to HKSAR and issue an opinion to CERC in respect of a candidate who fails to meet such legal requirements and conditions
對資審會根據香港國安委的審查意見書作出的選委會委員候選人及行政長官候選人資格確認的決定，不得提起訴訟。
No legal proceedings may be instituted in respect of a decision made by CERC on the eligibility of a candidate for EC member or for the office of Chief Executive pursuant to the opinion of CSNS
政府原本只建議，就基於指明理由提出呈請以質疑行政長官選舉或立法會選舉而言，選舉必須在《基本法》附件一和附件二的規限下予以解釋，但這明顯與附件一和附件二的新訂內容有所不同。
The Government originally proposed that in respect of election petition made on specified grounds to question the Chief Executive election or Legislative Council elections the elections are to be construed subject to Annex I and Annex II to the Basic Law . However this is obviously different from the new content of Annex I and Annex II
這亦是根據《基本法》辦事，而政府亦確認訴訟包括選舉呈請、司法覆核或任何形式的法律挑戰。
Acting in accordance with the Basic Law the Government has also confirmed that legal proceedings include election petitions judicial reviews or any forms of legal challenge
所以，我認為這做法是合情、合理、合法，而候選人是否符合國家安全標準，最權威的審查機構就是香港國安委，這也是在修訂中引入香港國安委審查意見書制度的原因，有關做法亦充分表現了法律的正當性不容挑戰。
I think this is justifiable reasonable and legal and the most authoritative body to examine whether a candidate meets the national security standards is CSNS . This explains why a mechanism for CSNS to issue an opinion is introduced in the amendments and fully demonstrates that the legitimacy of the law shall not be challenged
另外，鑒於資審會的憲制地位及其在候選人資格審查機制中承擔的重要職能，法案委員會委員建議特區政府把資審會的組成報中央人民政府備案。
In addition in view of the constitutional status of CERC and its important function under the candidate eligibility review mechanism members of the Bills Committee have suggested that the SAR Government should report the composition of CERC to the Central Peoples Government for the record
我贊成法案委員會的建議，但同時亦有些疑問，例如有委員在法案委員會上問政府，向中央備案是否等同獲得中央批准？
I agree with the suggestion of the Bills Committee but I also have some questions . For example a member asked the Government at the Bills Committee whether reporting to the Central Government for the record was tantamount to obtaining its approval
律政司當時回覆指備案純粹是一個紀錄，沒有批准的意思。
At that time the Department of Justice replied that the reporting was purely for the record rather than an approval
如果行政長官沒有向中央備案，將可視為沒有遵守法定要求，市民可以透過法庭追討。
If the Chief Executive failed to report to the Central Government for the record it would be considered a failure to comply with the statutory requirements and the public could pursue the matter by taking it to court
我認為特首向中央備案的安排是恰當的，而且可以避免日後可能出現的法律爭議，但我們也希望可以清楚了解有關細節。
I find it appropriate for the Chief Executive to report to the Central Government for the record so as to avoid possible legal disputes in the future but we also hope to clearly understand the details
所以，我會支持政府建議修正《條例草案》第383條，在《行政長官選舉條例》第9A6條明確訂定這個要求。
For this reason I support the proposal of the Government to amend clause 383 of the Bill to clearly set out such a requirement in the proposed section 9A6 of the Chief Executive Election Ordinance Cap . 569
代理主席，我謹此陳辭，支持《條例草案》的各項修正案。
With these remarks Deputy Chairman I support the various amendments to the Bill
主席，在全體委員會審議階段發言時，我要多謝政制及內地事務局和律政司法律草擬科，還有一眾官員花了很多心機和時間，在極短的時段內替我們完成這項法例。
Chairman as I am speaking at the Committee stage I would like to express my gratitude to the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau and the Law Drafting Division of the Department of Justice as well as the many government officials for having spent a lot of efforts and time to complete this piece of legislation within an extremely tight time frame
七百多頁，3本如此厚的書，其實要做起上來確實不簡單。
The Bill contains some 700 pages in three thick volumes . It is indeed not an easy task
當然，議會的同事，特別是法案委員會的同事也花了很多心機和時間很認真地審議。
Certainly colleagues in this Council particularly those in the Bills Committee have spent much effort and time to examine the Bill carefully
在這700多頁的法案中，如果要找一兩樣不足，其實非常容易，這也是人之常情。
In the 700 - page Bill it is extremely easy to spot one or two inadequacies . This is human nature
可是，我們的同事絕對沒有輕易放過，我們亦很認真審議。
However our colleagues definitely did not let these inadequacies slip easily and scrutinized the Bill very seriously
整項法案的精神和原則，便是要完善選舉制度，堵塞任何漏洞；議員亦非常盡責地審議這項法例，集思廣益，當中亦發現不少問題。
The spirit and principles of the Bill as a whole are to improve the electoral system and plug the loopholes . Members have examined the Bill in an extremely responsible manner drawn on collective wisdom and identified many problems
很高興政府可以從善如流，對於很多議員提出的意見，他們都願意跟我們一起修訂和堵塞。
We are glad that the Government has listened to our views and acted accordingly . Regarding the many views put forth by Members the authorities have been willing to work with us to make amendments and plug the loopholes
在這裏，我亦要特別說說終止選舉的問題。
Here I would like to talk about the termination of election in particular
雖然剛才也有同事提到，但這確實會令整個選舉制度即使在完善後，仍然會出現一些漏洞。
Though some colleagues have talked about this earlier the arrangement will actually create certain loopholes in the entire electoral system despite the improvement made
這安排本來是希望讓選民有更多選擇，免得突然停止選舉，只剩一兩個候選人而無法選。
The original intent of this arrangement was to give voters more choices so that the election would not end suddenly or leave voters with no choice when there were only one or two candidates to choose from
不過，在現時香港的政治環境下，或之前出現過的歷史原因，我們不能不用小人之心或謹慎的態度去想這件事。
However under the current political environment in Hong Kong or for the historical reasons in the past we cannot but consider the issue with a suspicious and cautious attitude
當時我提到，如果有一群人參與選舉，而他又僥幸地在第一階段通過提名委員的審查，然後在選舉過程中，他突然"自爆"是"港獨"，繼而被取消資格，按照原有法例的規定，選舉便要暫停，於是整個選舉過程便會受到牽連。
At that time I said that if a group of people participated in the election and someone who was lucky enough to pass the eligibility review at the first stage suddenly revealed in the course of election that he supported Hong Kong independence and was disqualified the election had to be terminated and the election procedure as a whole would be affected
所以，這群人只要用很低的成本，又或掩飾得相對比較好的戲子技巧，便可以影響到整個選舉，這很明顯是一個漏洞。
As such this group can affect the entire election at a very low cost or with some relatively well - disguised theatrical skills . This is obviously a loophole
當我們指出這個漏洞時，政府認真聆聽，議會內全體建制派議員也聯署一項建議給政府，要求當局就此漏洞進行一些修正。
When we pointed out this loophole the Government listened attentively . All Members from the pro - establishment camp in this Council also submitted a jointly - signed proposal to the Government urging the authorities to make amendments to plug the loophole
現在我們看到，政府接納議會的意見，在新的修正案中訂明在選舉開始後，在投票結束之前，即使有人因"自爆"被取消資格"自爆"是"港獨"都不會令選舉停下來，這正正堵塞了我剛才指出的漏洞。
Now we see that the Government has accepted the views of this Council . In the new amendment it is stipulated that after the election is started but before the close of polling for the election in case of disqualification of a candidate due to his self - revelation―revealing that he supports Hong Kong independence―the election will not be terminated . This has rightly plugged the loophole I pointed out just now
或許有些人會認為我們想多了或太過小心，但正如我剛才在開始的時候說，我們要完善選舉制度，堵塞漏洞，當我們看到如此大的漏洞，可以被人借題發揮和鑽空子，如果我們都不處理，這便有違我們當初訂立這項法案的原意。
Perhaps some people may consider that we are over - worried or too cautious . Yet as I said in the beginning we seek to improve the electoral system to plug the loopholes . So when we see this major loophole which may be exploited and taken advantage of but do nothing about it it will defeat the original purpose of enacting the Bill
所以，非常多謝政府願意在這方面作出修正，令這個漏洞得以堵塞，亦令一些搞事分子不會再有機會借我剛才說的做法，破壞我們的選舉。
Therefore we are glad that the Government is willing to make amendment in this respect to plug the loophole eliminating the chance for troublemakers to do what I have said to ruin our election
我稍後也會就其他的修正案再提出我的意見和發言。
I will express my views and speak on other amendments later
多謝主席，我謹此陳辭。
Thank you Chairman . I so submit
代理主席，我剛才說過政府堵塞了一個破壞選舉的漏洞，我在此也想談談，其實在制度上，我們可以多做一些工作，令選舉更加暢順，並提高投票率。
Deputy Chairman I have said just now that the Government has plugged a loophole that undermines the election . I would also like to say that in terms of institutional arrangements we can do more to make the election smoother and raised the voter turnout rate
如果根據這項法例，當局也沒奈何，團體也只須支付1萬元，1萬元只是很少錢，左右籌措便已可夠數。
Under the Bill the authorities could do nothing about it and the organization only had to pay 10,000 which was miniscule and could be easily raised
當然，局長非常好，聽取了議員的意見，最後將罰款額提高至5萬元，但5萬元是否一個合適的數目呢？
Certainly the Secretary was so nice and heeding the advice of Members ultimately raised the amount of fine to 50,000 . But is 50,000 an appropriate amount?
由我們立法會議員看來，選舉是如此重大的事情，而且機構或學校不斷接受社會或政府的資助，有甚麼理由不履行公民責任，借出地方呢？
From the perspective of us Legislative Council Members as the election is such an important event and organizations or schools are constantly receiving grants from the community or the Government do they have any reason not to fulfil their civic duty and make available their premises?
大家想一想，一個票站可以鼓勵多少人出來投票呢？
Members can imagine how many people can be encouraged to come out and vote at one polling station
如果一個票站的位置，正正好像剛才所說的，在一個屋邨的正中央，人人也會前往投票，如果把票站搬至山旯旮那麼遠，投票率肯定低。
If a polling station is as I have said just now located in the centre of a housing estate everyone will come out to vote but if it is relocated to a remote location the voter turnout rate will certainly be low
局長，當局舉行一次選舉，也經常賣廣告，鼓勵市民盡公民責任，一定要投票， 在港鐵燈箱賣很多廣告，雖然電視的API不用付錢，但在其他地方也要賣很多廣告。
Secretary each election is heavily advertised by the authorities to encourage the public to fulfil their civic duty by casting their vote . There is no need to pay for TV Announcements in the Public Interest but advertising is done in many other places such as light boxes in MTR stations
既然花了這麼多錢賣廣告呼籲市民投票，為何不做好一些，要求非牟利機構、取得撥款的學校一定要撥出地方，供市民投票呢？
Since so much money is spent on advertising to encourage people to vote why not do a better job and require non - profit organizations and publicly - funded schools to make available their premises for people to vote?
這方面，雖然政府已聆聽議員的意見，但我認為還可以多做一點。
The Government has heeded the advice of Members in this regard but I think more can be done
代理主席，另一點我想說的，同樣是關於罰款的問題。
Deputy Chairman another point I would like to raise is also about the fines
文件中提到，如果阻撓選舉，最多也只會被處第5級罰款。
As stated in the paper if one interferes with an election he will be imposed a fine not exceeding level 5
有心人要破壞選舉，這小小的罰款，其實無法阻礙事情的發生。
For those who want to interfere with the election such a meager fine cannot stop things from happening
所以，既然今天已經提出法案，我希望我們只是以小人之心度君子之腹，日後如果真的發現這樣的問題，有關刑責必須加重。
As such since the Bill has been introduced today I hope that we are merely measuring other peoples corn by our own bushel . Should such a problem be really detected in the future the criminal penalty concerned must be increased
那就是現在地區直選將設10個選區，特別是新界有5個選區；局長的同事的地理知識非常好，因此把選區名稱改為"新界北"、"新界東南"、"新界東北"、"新界西南"和"新界西北"。
That is for direct elections in geographical constituencies GCs the territories of Hong Kong will now be divided into 10 GCs; in particular the New Territories NT will be divided into 5 GCs . The colleagues of the Secretary have an excellent geographical knowledge and so they named GCs as NT North NT South East NT North East NT South West and NT North West
就這樣聽來，其實不知道那些是甚麼選區。
Just by hearing these we actually have no idea what those GCs are
如果改了這些名稱，對選民而言會非常混亂，我也不知道我的選區包括甚麼範圍。
If they are named this way electors will be very confused and I do not even know what areas my GC will cover
我記得在法案委員會會議上，張國鈞議員其實亦曾向局長提出，這些名稱可否更"選民友善"一點。
I remember that at a meeting of the Bills Committee Mr CHEUNG Kwok - kwan also once suggested to the Secretary that these names should be more elector - friendly
好像九龍那樣不是挺好嗎"九龍東"、"九龍中"、"九龍西"？
Something like those of Kowloon―Kowloon East Kowloon Central and Kowloon West―is quite good is it not?
所以，如果選區用這些名稱，其實會令選民非常混亂，亦不容易記住自己屬於哪個選區。
Therefore if these names are used for GCs electors will indeed be very confused and find it difficult to remember which GC they belong to
因為局方的"紙仔"也寫了，"新界北"下面括着"北區及元朗區西北部"，"新界西北"則括着"屯門區及元朗區東南部"，即是說這些選區名稱是非常不清晰的。
As written in the paper of the Bureau North and north - western part of Yuen Long is bracketed under NT North whereas Tuen Mun and south - eastern part of Yuen Long is bracketed under NT North West; that is to say these GC names are very unclear
所以，如果能夠在這方面再多做一些，其實便能幫助選舉。
Hence if more can be done in this regard it will actually be conducive to elections
