Now is surely the time to pause to reflect upon the controversial proposals.
現在當然是停止並對爭議性的提案做出反應的時候。
I note that Chinese Ambassador to London commented on BBC Newsnight programmel
ast night that the Joint Declaration is, as he put it a 'historic document th
a t has completed its mission'
我有注意到中國駐倫敦大使在BBC節目聲稱中英聯合聲明是一份已完成任務的歷史文件。
Once again, I strongly disagree.The Joint Declaration remains as valid today a
s it did when it was signed over 35 years ago.That Joint Declaration is a leg
a lly binding international treaty, registered with the United Nations.It's ob
je ctives clearly apply to both of its signatories, The Government of People R
epu blic of China and the UK.It remains in force and it remains acutely releva
nt t o the conduct of day-to-day life in Hong Kong.
再一次地，我表達強烈不同意的立場。中英聯合聲明在今天仍然持續有效，如同35年前簽
約當時一樣。中英聯合聲明是一份向聯合國註冊、對簽署國-中國政府及英國雙方都有法
律約束力的國際條約。聯合聲明仍然是現在式，並且跟香港的每日生活有極度地關連。
We expect China to abide by its obligations.
我們期待中方遵守聯合聲明中的應盡義務。
接著是小弟的英文小教室：
1、In force 現行
2、acutely極度地
3、abide by遵守
