現在泛民同樣面臨歷史抉擇的關鍵時刻，有理由相信他們還會重演去年那種半推半就的戲碼。
Now the pan - democrats are also facing a critical moment in making this historical decision and I have reasons to believe that they will repeat what they did last year by accepting the arrangement while pretending to be reluctant
中央官員已強調，"愛國者治港"不是要香港的社會政治搞"清一色"，反中亂港分子和反對派是不能簡單地劃上等號。
Officials of the Central Authorities have stressed that patriots administering Hong Kong does not mean to impose uniformity in politics in Hong Kong society for anti - China disruptors should not be glibly equated with the opposition
對此，張曉明副主任說得非常清楚，反對派特別是泛民中也有愛國者，他們將來仍然可以依法參選、依法當選，亦可以說，在新制度下，合乎資格的泛民人士的參選渠道肯定是暢通的。
In this connection Deputy Director ZHANG Xiaoming has made it crystal clear that there are also patriots among the opposition particularly among the pan - democrats and they can still stand for election and be elected in accordance with the law . In other words under the new system the channels for eligible pan - democrats to stand for election is definitely open
中央全面落實"一國兩制"，當然會尊重香港的資本主義制度，包容香港社會的多元構成，自然也為泛民提供合法的政治空間。
The Central Authorities in fully implementing one country two systems will certainly respect Hong Kongs capitalist system and accommodate the pluralistic composition of Hong Kong society and will naturally provide the pan - democrats with lawful political space
或許有些人會問，選舉委員會的調整是今次完善選舉制度的核心要素，既被賦權選舉產生40名立法會議員，亦掌握立法會議員候選人的提名權，這是否代表中央操控立法會的組成？
Some people may ask given that the adjustment of the Election Committee EC is the core element of the improvement of the electoral system this time around and EC will return 40 Members to the Legislative Council and nominate candidates for the Legislative Council election whether it means that the composition of the Legislative Council is manipulated by the Central Authorities
正如全國人大常委會副委員長王晨在《決定》的說明中指出，完善選舉制度的總體思路，是通過重新構建選委會和賦予新職能，擴大香港社會均衡有序的政治參與和令政治體制有更廣泛代表性，同時建立資格審查機制可以確保候選人符合愛國者要求，進而形成一套符合香港實際情況，有香港特色的新民主選舉制度。
As WANG Chen Vice Chairman of NPCSC has pointed out in the Explanations on the Draft Decision the general idea of improving the electoral system is to reconstitute EC and entrust EC with new functions expand balanced and orderly political participation in Hong Kong society make the political system more broadly representative and to establish a eligibility review mechanism to ensure that candidates fulfil the requirements of being patriots thereby forming a new democratic electoral system suited to Hong Kongs realities and with Hong Kong characteristics
這次完善選舉制度，實現選委會總人數擴大至1,500人，同時增加一個界別，從而改變香港社會長期以來的固有利益結構，其中的意義十分深遠：一，由選委會界別經選舉產生的議員，在立法會所佔的議席會多於功能界別議員和分區直選議員的議席，可以克服功能界別和地區代表的利益碎片化和局部化，保障立法會的整體利益取向。
The improvement of the electoral system this time around realizes the expansion of EC to 1 500 members and the addition of one more sector thus changing the long - standing inherent structure of interest in Hong Kong society which carries far - reaching implications . First with the number of Members in the Legislative Council returned by the EC constituency through election exceeding the number of Members returned by the functional constituencies FCs and the geographical constituencies GCs through direct elections the fragmentation and localization of the interests of representatives of FCs and GCs is addressed to ensure that the Legislative Council is directed towards the overall interests of society
二，立法會議席由70席增至90席，為有志從政的人提供更多機會，未來更多德才兼備、視野廣闊的愛國優秀人才得以進入立法會，助力實現香港特區的良政善治。
Second as the Legislative Council is expanded from 70 to 90 seats it will provide more opportunities for individuals with political aspirations . In the future more patriotic and talented people with integrity and broad vision will be able to join the Legislative Council thus facilitating the realization of good governance in SAR
三，在新的選委會中，港區全國人大代表、港區全國政協委員和全國性團體香港成員作為第五界別，這個界別的人士對國家事務有比較多的了解，有較強的國家意識，更了解國家所需、香港所長，是國家和香港的橋樑。
Third in the new EC Hong Kong deputies to NPC Hong Kong members of the National Committee of CPPCC and representatives of Hong Kong members of relevant national organizations are added as the Fifth Sector . Individuals in this sector have a better understanding of national affairs a stronger sense of nationalism and a better grasp of the need of the country and the advantages of Hong Kong so they are the bridge between the country and Hong Kong
總而言之，由具有廣泛代表性的選委會選舉產生行政長官和部分立法會議員，使行政長官和立法會在選民基礎上有共同點，有利於行政和立法機關溝通及落實《基本法》規定的行政主導體制。
In gist the election of the Chief Executive and some Members of the Legislative Council by the broadly representative EC has provided a common ground for the Chief Executive and the Legislative Council in terms of their electorate basis which will be conducive to the communication between the executive and the legislature and the implementation of the executive - led structure stipulated in the Basic Law
最後，我想說的是，即使今次的《條例草案》順利獲得通過，也不能簡單地認為本地社會立即"一天光晒"，難道積壓已久的深層次矛盾馬上可以迎刃而解嗎？
Finally I want to say that even if the Bill is passed smoothly we cannot simply think that all the problems in our society will be gone right away for the deep - seated conflicts accumulated over the years will not be resolved at once will it?
畢竟，任何制度的落實也需要人的參與和推動，希望所有有志之士精誠合作，為國家、為香港貢獻自己的一分力量。
After all the implementation of any system requires the participation and promotion of people . I hope that all aspiring individuals will collaborate sincerely to contribute their part to the country and Hong Kong
主席，我謹此陳辭，支持通過《條例草案》。
President with these remarks I support the passage of the Bill
首先在去年6月30日訂立《香港國安法》，然後在去年11月11日為香港澄清了公職人員宣誓的要求，接着3月全國人大常委會修改了《基本法》附件一和附件二，完善了香港的選舉制度。
First the enactment of the Hong Kong National Security Law on 30 June last year to be followed by the clarification for Hong Kong on the requirement for public officers to take an oath on 11 November last year and the amendments to Annexes I and II to the Basic Law to improve the electoral system in Hong Kong by the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress in March
我亦感謝特區政府官員，無論是律政司或政制及內地事務局全體人員，這600多頁的《條例草案》非常精細，我知道一定做了大量工作。
I am also grateful to the officials of the SAR Government be it the staff of the Department of Justice or the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau . The Bill comprising 600 - odd pages is meticulous in its details and I know it must have involved a lot of work
正如法案委員會主席廖長江議員指出，雖然我們用的時間不太多，3月尾開始研究政策，然後逐項審議，17次會議、50多小時的馬拉松工作，我們每一位也很認真的審議每項條款，提出了很多意見，多謝局長亦接納了。
As pointed out by the Chairman of the Bills Committee Mr Martin LIAO we did not spend too much time on it . However we started the policy study in late March and after that the clause - by - clause examination . Seventeen meetings were held or more than 50 hours of work in marathon style
我相信如果後人將來撰寫"特區誌"的時候，會視通過《條例草案》的時刻為一個充滿歷史意義的時刻，確保了香港的政治安全，確保了"一國兩制"可以根據初心的軌道發展，可以一直行穩致遠，到2047年甚至更長遠，亦解決香港人積壓已久的多個經濟、政治、民生問題。
We all scrutinized each and every clause very seriously and put forward many views . I believe that if anyone compiles a chronicle of Hong Kong in the future he will regard the passage of the Bill as a moment of historical significance which has ensured the political security of Hong Kong and the long - term and steady development of one country two systems in accordance with the original aspiration until 2047 or even beyond . It will also solve the many economic political and livelihood problems that have been plaguing the people of Hong Kong for a long time
所以，我非常歡迎《條例草案》。
Therefore I very much welcome the Bill
我亦趁此機會發表一些個人觀點。
I would also like to take this opportunity to express some of my personal views
很多外國政府無理指責，說北京修改附件一、附件二是破壞"一國兩制"，違反《中英聯合聲明》。
Many foreign governments have unreasonably accused Beijing of undermining one country two systems and violating the Sino - British Joint Declaration by amending Annexes I and II
主席，我手上的是我的私人珍藏，真的是1984年《中英聯合聲明》的草擬版本，1984年12月正式簽署的也是這個版本。
President what I have in my hand is a copy of the Draft Agreement of the Sino - British Joint Declaration of 1984 from my personal collection which was also the version officially signed in December 1984
《中英聯合聲明》的確是兩國之間的聲明，當中包含3個聲明。
The Sino - British Joint Declaration is indeed a declaration of the two countries and it contains three declarations
第一個聲明，中國政府說會在1997年7月1日恢復行使主權；第二個聲明是英國政府說在1997年7月1日把香港交回中國；第三個聲明是北京政府列明對香港12項基本政策，其中沒有一個政策說會在香港推行民主或普選，亦完全沒有提到立法會的組成。
First the Chinese Government said that it would resume the exercise of sovereignty on 1 July 1997; second the British Government said that Hong Kong would be restored to China on 1 July 1997; third the Beijing Government set out 12 basic policies regarding Hong Kong none of which stated that democracy or universal suffrage would be implemented in Hong Kong and there was no mention of the composition of the Legislative Council at all
所以，立法會怎樣組成，原來是國家的自治範圍。
The composition of the Legislative Council is in fact a matter of national autonomy
說中央政府破壞"一國兩制"、破壞香港的自治，這些完全是毫無理據，值得譴責。
To say that the Central Government has undermined one country two systems and Hong Kongs autonomy is totally unjustified and deserves condemnation
至於普選，是《基本法》第四十五條和第六十八條賦予香港的，但香港走普選的歷史相當短。
As for universal suffrage it is conferred on Hong Kong by Article 45 and Article 68 of the Basic Law but Hong Kong has a rather short history of going for universal suffrage
我相信局長也知道，港英政府在1979年麥理浩總督訪京之後知道要交回香港，才急急推行地方行政。
I believe the Secretary is also aware that the British Hong Kong Government hastily implemented district administration in 1979 after Governor MACLEHOSE learnt during his visit to Beijing that Hong Kong had to be returned
當年亦帶挈我得到第一個署理首長級政務官的職位，在新界民政處協助鍾逸傑司長推行地區選舉。
That year I was given an opportunity to act up a directorate Administrative Officer post for the first time to assist Secretary Sir David AKERS - JONES in the New Territories District Office to implement district elections
所以，香港推行普選的日子很短，1982年才有普選的區議會選舉，1985年立法會開始有功能界別選舉，1991年有立法會直選，只有20多年歷史。
The history of the promotion of universal suffrage in Hong Kong is very short . The District Councils became fully elected only in 1982 the functional constituency elections were first introduced to the Legislative Council in 1985 and the first - ever direct elections of the Legislative Council took place in 1991 which is only some 20 years ago . I think the experts who drafted the Basic Law were very prescient
我覺得草擬《基本法》的專家很有先見，因為普選制度不曾在香港實施，不知是禍是福，意思即是會引致社會動亂、撕裂，抑或真的可以協助立法會幫特區政府解決經濟民生問題呢？
Universal suffrage has never been implemented in Hong Kong . We do not know whether it is a curse or a blessing . Will it lead to social unrest and riots or can it really help the Legislative Council assist the SAR Government in solving economic and livelihood problems?
是未知之數。
No one can tell
所以，《基本法》第四十五條和第六十八條都加入一些條款，就是要循序漸進，以及要看實際情況。
Therefore both Article 45 and Article 68 of the Basic Law contain provisions on gradual and orderly progress and stipulate that the actual situation should be taken into account
過去數年，很可惜，香港的民主發展走錯路，變得越來越激進，越來越非理性的民粹，並且令社會越來越撕裂。
Over the past few years regrettably the development of democracy in Hong Kong has taken a wrong turn becoming more and more radical and getting more and more irrational and populist . The social split has even gone wider
我們單看2012年第四屆行政長官上任後，這個行政長官選舉方法成為社會一大爭議。
After the fourth term Chief Executive took office in 2012 the method of electing the Chief Executive became a major controversy in society
2013年年初，有一位瘋狂學者叫戴耀廷，在《信報》撰寫一篇文章，要爭取《基本法》以外、不符合《基本法》的選舉制度。
In early 2013 a crazy scholar named Benny TAI wrote an Article in the Hong Kong Economic Journal advocating an electoral system outside the Basic Law and not in line with the Basic Law . He said he would occupy Central with love and peace
他說用愛與和平佔中環，當然沒有愛與和平，結果變成非法堵路、暴力衝擊，佔領了中環、銅鑼灣和旺角多個商業區79天。
Of course there was no love and peace . It ended up in illegal road blockage and violent attacks . Many commercial districts in Central Causeway Bay and Mong Kok had been occupied for 79 days
我想邵家輝議員也有慘痛回憶，零售界、飲食界、旅遊界受到很大摧殘，已經種下了動亂的種子。
I think that Mr SHIU Ka - fai also has bitter memories as the retail catering and tourism sectors were devastated . The seeds of unrest have been sown
我有一個建議，我建議有這麼多人爭取議席，希望特區政府和中央政府可以提出一些客觀標準。
I have a suggestion . Given that so many people will compete for seats I suggest that the SAR Government and the Central Government should set out some objective criteria . We are not talking about individuals and the human factor should be excluded
我們不說人，撇除人的因素，但要提出一些客觀要求，例如第一，要拿出時間來，正所謂能夠履行職務；第二，要有精力和足夠知識，以及如果我們要不斷提高立法會水平，我們希望下一屆立法會多一些有理性分析能力的議員，不是只靠一些金句，或者責罵官員、出一下鏡，而是真正可以協助特區政府解決問題，提出一些有益有建設性的措施，亦提高整個立法會知識水平。
Rather we should lay down some objective requirements . For example first they should have the time to perform their duties; second they should have the energy and sufficient knowledge . If we want to continuously raise the standard of the Legislative Council we hope that in the next term of the Legislative Council there will be more Members who have the ability to make rational analyses instead of playing soundbites or chiding officials or making appearances on the media
我希望局長向中央政府建議，讓我們下屆有一個水平更高，更能夠監察政府，並且好好地審議政府的立法和開支建議的議會，謹此發言。
I hope that the Secretary will make proposals to the Central Government so that we can have a legislature of a higher standard in the next term to better monitor the Government and scrutinize its legislative and financial proposals . I so submit
主席，過去幾年香港大亂，我們看到反國教、違法佔中、旺角暴動、"黑暴""攬炒"、議會暴力一波又一波打擊香港。
President over the past few years Hong Kong has been in great turmoil . We have seen that Hong Kong has been hit by the anti - national education movement the illegal Occupy Central Mong Kok riots mutual destruction initiated by black - clad rioters and wave after wave of legislative violence
我們看到在立法會裏，"攬炒派"議員逢中必反，為反而反，"拉布"、搗亂，無日無之。
We have seen that in the Legislative Council Members of the mutual destruction camp have opposed China on every front and opposed it for the sake of opposing staging filibusters and stirring up trouble ceaselessly
我們看到在2019年區議會選舉後，區議會被無限政治化，今天已經是一個完全失效的區議會。
We can see that since the 2019 District Council Election District Councils have been politicized infinitely and become completely dysfunctional
我們看到外國勢力無所不用其極，利用香港打擊我們國家的發展，更有人明目張膽地勾結外國勢力，要求外國制裁中國和香港。
We have seen foreign forces going to absurd lengths and using Hong Kong as a means to undermine the development of our country . Some people have even blatantly colluded with foreign forces to demand foreign countries to sanction China and Hong Kong
"攬炒派"企圖透過"35+"，搶奪香港管治權，說要與香港玉石俱焚。
The mutual destruction camp attempted to usurp the power to rule Hong Kong through the 35 saying that they want to burn with Hong Kong
我們看着原本開放、文明、安全的香港國際都會，變成無法無天、暴力先行，有人打着所謂民主公義的旗號，便可以為所欲為的城市。
We have seen Hong Kong being turned from an open civilized and safe cosmopolitan city into a lawless and violent city where people can do whatever they want under the banner of so - called democracy and justice
我們亦看到假新聞、假消息滿天飛，不斷製造仇恨，分化社會。
We have also seen fake news and false information flying around creating hatred and dividing society
香港漸漸變成一個仇 恨淹沒理智的地方，香港多年來的發展停滯不前。
Hong Kong has gradually become a place where hatred overwhelms reason and its development has been stagnant for years
我們看到幾代人努力建設的香港幾乎化為烏有，甚至危害國家安全。
We have seen Hong Kong which generations of people have worked so hard to build being almost reduced to nothing and even endangering national security
中央政府終於忍無可忍，出手徹底處理這些問題，從根本堵塞漏洞，撥亂反正，讓香港可以重回正軌，重新出發。
The Central Government has finally come to the end of its patience and taken action to deal with these problems thoroughly addressing the root causes by plugging the loopholes and setting things right so that Hong Kong can get back on the right track and start afresh
我們先有《香港國安法》，像金剛棒般立竿見影，止暴制亂，接着再有完善公職人員宣誓效忠的安排，就像一面照妖鏡，也是反中亂港者的金剛圈。
First we had the Hong Kong National Security Law which was like a golden cudgel to stop violence and curb disorder and then we had the improved arrangement for public officers to take the oath of allegiance which was like a Foe - Glass and a golden fillet for those who oppose China and disrupt Hong Kong
今天，我們希望盡快完善選舉制度安排，就像定海神針，確保"愛國者治港"。
Today we hope that the electoral system will be improved as soon as possible so that it can play the role of stabilizer to ensure patriots administering Hong Kong
有了這些法例，反中亂港分子、漢奸和"港獨"支持者便不能夠再染指香港的管治架構，香港將可以真正由亂入治，邁向長治久安。
With such legislation elements that oppose China and disrupt Hong Kong traitors and supporters of Hong Kong independence will no longer be able to infiltrate the governance structure of Hong Kong and Hong Kong will be able to halt chaos and restore order and move towards long - term peace and stability
主席，今次條例修訂具有重大歷史意義，是"一國兩制"實踐的重要里程碑，有利香港提升管治效能，達致良政善治，亦將優化和改進香港的民主進程和制度，為"愛國者治港"和香港長治久安提供了最堅實的保障。
President this legislative amendment exercise is of profound historical significance and an important milestone in the implementation of one country two systems . It is conducive to enhancing governance efficiency and achieving good governance in Hong Kong . It will also optimize and improve the democratic process and institutions in Hong Kong providing the most solid protection for patriots administering Hong Kong and the long - term peace and stability of Hong Kong
一直以來，香港的政治體制設計都是行政主導，行政長官由選舉委員會產生，說明選委會在香港政治體制舉足輕重。
The political system in Hong Kong has long been designed to be executive - led with the Chief Executive being selected by the Election Committee EC indicating that EC plays a pivotal role in the political system of Hong Kong
我們看到"35+"的陰謀也是希望搶奪選委會議席。
We can see that the conspiracy of 35 likewise aimed to seize the EC seats
所以，在選委會方面，今次修訂的主要改動包括新增第五界別，恢復以團體選民為主，選出功能界別的代表，以及區議會界別不再納入選委會中。
Therefore in terms of EC the major changes in this amendment exercise include the creation of a new Fifth Sector the restoration of corporate voters as the main voters in electing representatives from functional constituencies and the removal of the District Council subsectors from EC
改動後的選委會可以讓更多愛國愛港人士參與，有助強化國家意識，促進香港融入國家的發展大局，亦能更體現《基本法》的均衡參與原則。
The reformed EC will allow the participation of more people who love our country and Hong Kong help strengthen national consciousness facilitate Hong Kongs integration into the overall development of our country and better reflect the principle of balanced participation under the Basic Law
至於取消區議會界別，就可以讓區議會去政治化，回歸到為市民提供服務和作為地區行政諮詢架構的初心。
As for the abolition of the District Council subsectors it will allow District Councils to be depoliticized and return to their original mission of providing services to the public and serving as advisory bodies for district administration
同時，立法會的議席按照4：3：2的比例分配，亦可以令立法會的代表更全面和均衡，在履行《基本法》的職責時更加顧及社會的整體利益。
At the same time the 4col32 ratio for the distribution of seats in the Legislative Council will enable a more comprehensive and balanced representation in the Legislative Council and enable the Council to better consider the overall interests of the community in discharging its responsibilities under the Basic Law
主席，對任何地方而言，安全和穩定也是一切的前提。
President security and stability are the prerequisites for everything in any place
沒有國家安全和社會穩定，人民的安全和發展就沒有保障，其他政治自由和權利也只會是空談。
Without national security and social stability there will be no protection for the safety of people and development and other political freedoms and rights will only be empty talk
所以，我們2019年經歷了一年的"黑暴""攬炒"，便會看到香港市民的自由、生命、財產，全部都受到嚴重威脅。
Having experienced a year of mutual destruction initiated by black - clad rioters in 2019 we can see that the freedoms life and property of Hong Kong people are all under serious threat
這個慘痛的教訓告訴我們，當暴力可以肆虐的時候，香港人就沒有人身及言論自由。
This painful lesson tells us that when violence is allowed to run rampant Hong Kong people will have no freedom of the person and of speech
當有人要"攬炒"香港，說要玉石俱焚的時候，香港就無法改善經濟和民生。
Hong Kong will not be able to improve its economy and peoples livelihood when there are those who want to burn with Hong Kong saying that they want the destruction of all
新的選舉制度可以讓香港更能實踐"一國兩制"，亦更能保障香港的整體利益。
The new electoral system will enable Hong Kong to better implement one country two systems and better protect the overall interests of Hong Kong
回歸以來，我們有很多問題一直都未解決，土地、房屋、就業、醫療等民生問題積累已久，累積了很多深層次的問題及矛盾。
Since the return of Hong Kong to China many problems have remained unresolved including such perennial livelihood problems as land housing employment and healthcare and many deep - rooted problems and conflicts have been added on
但是，"攬炒派"的人在這些問題上一直以政治掛帥，在立法會內瘋狂"拉 布"，令政府的施政效率降低，甚至癱瘓立法會。
However people from the mutual destruction camp have long been politically orientated towards these issues and frantically staged filibusters in the Legislative Council thus reducing the efficiency of the Government in policy implementation and even paralysing the Legislative Council
這些人不斷在議會內阻礙政府施政，但卻責罵政府不做事。
These people have been hindering policy implementation of the Government in this Council but they are criticizing the Government for not doing anything
通過完善選舉制度後，才可以結束長期以來的這些政治爭拗，亦令我們真正可以發展經濟、改善民生。
Only by improving the electoral system can we put an end to these long - standing political disputes and truly develop the economy and improve peoples livelihood
香港將會由"大亂"重回"大治"，當然需要選賢任能。
Hong Kong will return from great chaos to great order and thus it is certainly necessary to elect the best and the brightest
今次選委會由1,200人增至1,500人，立法會由70席增至90席，都是可以讓更多德才兼備、視野廣闊的優秀人才有機會進入管治架構，帶領香港走出當前的困局。
The increase in the number of EC members from 1 200 to 1 500 and the increase in the number of Legislative Council seats from 70 to 90 will allow more virtuous and talented people with broad vision to enter the governance structure and lead Hong Kong out of the current predicament
我希望在新的施政下，沒有了"攬炒派"的阻撓，官員可以改變一些官僚及守舊的思維，以不避難、勇於突破的精神去施政。
I hope that under the new administration without the hindrance of the mutual destruction camp officials can change their bureaucratic and old - fashioned mindset and adopt a spirit of not avoiding difficulties and daring to make breakthroughs in policy implementation
政府亦沒有任何藉口，必須有效地解決經濟民生的難題，令市民可以意識到及真的看到管治效能的提升。
There is no excuse for the Government not to effectively solve the problems with the economy and peoples livelihood so that the public can be aware of and can really see the improvement in governance efficiency
這段時間，我們經常聽到一些反對派的人質疑今次的修訂是民主倒退。
During this period of time we have often heard opposition figures querying whether this amendment exercise is a retrograde step for democracy
其實，主席，民主並無國際標準，美國總統和英國首相都不是"一人一票"直選產生，而所謂的西方民主制度的神話隨着西方社會越來越民粹，看到問題越來越多的時候，其實我覺得已經走到盡頭。
In fact President there is no international standard for democracy . Neither the President of the United States nor the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is directly elected by one person one vote and the myth of the so - called Western democratic institutions has I believe come to an end as Western societies become more and more populist and see more and more problems
大家可以想象，如果今次中央政府不出手，我們來屆立法會便可能是完全被"攬炒派"，甚至外國勢力操控，成為反中亂港甚至"港獨"的平台。
We can imagine that had the Central Government not intervened this time around our next Legislative Council would be completely controlled by the mutual destruction camp or even foreign forces and become a platform for opposing China disrupting Hong Kong or even advocating Hong Kong independence
我們可以想象，這個議會怎有可能正常運作，香港怎可能再向前走？
We can imagine how this Council can possibly function normally and how Hong Kong can move forward again
如果我們今次不作出修訂，其實真是不堪設想。
If we had not undertaken this amendment exercise the consequences would really be unthinkable
其實，民主形式是多元的，不能夠只說直選才是正確。
In fact there are diverse forms of democracy and we cannot say that only direct election is the right one
況且我們都知道，即使所謂普選產生或"一人一票"選出的特首或議員，都不能夠解決香港所有的問題。
Moreover we all know that even if the Chief Executive or Members are elected by universal suffrage or by one person one vote they cannot solve all the problems in Hong Kong
所以，我們一定要接受有利於香港現實的一些制度。
Therefore we must accept institutions that are conducive to the reality of Hong Kong
今次的《條例草案》提出的修訂，其實每一項都是經過深思熟慮，每一項都是有利於香港良政善治的制度，我覺得我們都應該採用。
The amendments proposed under this Bill are all well thought out and each of them is conducive to good governance in Hong Kong so I think we should adopt them
在新選舉制度下，我相信守法的反對派仍然有參與政治的空間。
Under the new electoral system I believe there is still room for the law - abiding opposition to participate in politics
但是，未來在議會內，全部都應該是愛國愛港，不會是要"攬炒"香港的人。
However in the future all the members of the legislature should be people who love our country and Hong Kong rather than those who want to burn with Hong Kong
在這種情形下，我相信香港可以重回正軌，重新出發。
Under such circumstances I believe Hong Kong can get back on the right track and start afresh
