速食文化(快餐文化)。中國飲食文化注重在就餐過程中人與人的交流。例如與家
人的團年飯﹔與朋輩的聯誼聚會﹔與客戶的商業談判 Fast food culture. Chinese
food culture focuses on interpersonal interactions during the meal, e.g. festive
dinner with family; gathering with peers; commercial meetings with clients
在美國麥當勞﹐客人平均就餐時間為 11 分鐘。在中國麥當勞﹐客人平均就餐時

國會制﹕人民選舉國會議員﹐國會議員推舉內閣首相 (多數黨黨魁)
Parliamentary system: Members of Parliament are elected by the people. The
Prime Minister of the cabinet is selected by the members of Parliament. (the party
leader of the majority party)
聯合政府﹕由多於一個政黨建立的內閣。國會制度下﹐行政與立法關係和諧
Coalition government: A cabinet formed by more than one political party. The
relationship between the executive and legislative is harmonious under the
Parliamentary system
行政主導﹕行政部門擁有起草及動議建立任何法案的權力﹐立法會負責討論及通
過法案。由於行政部門擁有主動權﹐因此稱為行政主導。議員可提出私人條例草
案﹐但不能涉及公共財政及政治制度﹐因此受到極大局限 Executive-led: The
executive has the power to draft and propose the establishment of any bill while
the legislative is responsible for discussing and passing the bill. It is called
executive-led as the executive has the power to take the initiative. Members may
submit a private bill, but there are great limitations because public finances and
the political system shall not be involved

反對剪布的論點 Viewpoints for against anti-filibuster﹕
(1) 立法部門服從行政部門﹐破壞三權分立。反駁﹕三權分立不代表三權敵視。
剪布不等於政府議案自動獲得通過﹐仍須議員進行投票。行政立法仍互相制
衡 The legislative institutions would be led by the executive institutions, and
destroy the Separation of Powers. Counter-argument: The Separation of Powers
doesn’t mean there is hostility between the three powers. Anti-filibustering
doesn’t equal to automated passage of the government proposal. Voting among
the councilors is still necessary. Checks and balances still exist between the
legislation and execution
(2) 削弱立法會議政素質。反駁﹕政策在剪布前已獲充份討論﹐直至立法會開始
討論瑣碎事務才進行剪布。已經能保障政策素質 Reduce the quality of
discussing government affairs in the Legco. Counter-argument: the policies have
already received enough discussion before anti-filibustering. Anti-filibuster
didn't start until the Legislative Council starts to discuss on unimportant
matters. Therefore, the quality of the policies is still guaranteed
(3) 減少反對派/少數派表達意見的機會。反駁﹕少數派已經在拉布過程充份表達
意見﹔有其他有效方法表達意見﹐例如遊行示威﹔為保障少數人利益而犧牲
大多數人利益﹐屬不合理 Reduce the chances for the opposition faction or
minority camps to express their opinions. Counter-argument: The minority
camps have already fully expressed their opinions during the process of
filibustering. There are also other effective ways to express opinions, e.g.
through demonstrations and protests. It’s unreasonable to sacrifice the
interests of the majority for the interests of the minority

中國黑心食品出現原因 Reasons of having toxic food in China﹕
(1) 經濟誘因﹕商人利益最大化﹐黑心食品低成本﹐高利潤。例如地溝油每頓成
本 1000 元﹐售價 3000 元 Economic incentive: Businessmen can maximize their
profits. The production costs of toxic food are low while the profits are high, e.g.
the production cost of gutter oil per ton is $1,000 and the selling price is $3,000
(2) 政府監察不足﹕官員法治意識薄弱﹐包庇不法商人﹐知法犯法參與營運工廠
Lack of government monitory: The government officials have weak legal
awareness and cover up the illegal businessmen. They also participated in
operating the factory
(3) 社會監察不足﹕中國缺乏新聞自由﹐媒體監察不足﹐黑心工廠被揭發風險低
Lack of social monitory: Freedom of press is lacking in China and there is
insufficient media monitory. Toxic food factory can hardly be exposed
(4) 社會道德淪喪﹕政府與國民盲目追求經濟發展﹐忽略社會責任 Lack of social
morality: The government and the people pursue blindly of economic
development but ignored social responsibility
(5) 宗教因素﹕共產黨主張無神論﹐共產黨員及國民普遍無宗教信仰﹐缺乏宗教
教條約束行為。伊斯蘭教徒禁止食用豬肉﹐禁止飲酒及賭博。印度教徒禁止
食用牛肉 Religious factors: The Communist Party advocates atheism. Most
Communists and Chinese people do not have religious belief and are not abide
by religious dogmas. Islam is prohibited from eating pork, drinking and
gambling. Hindus is prohibited from eating beef
(6) 政府部門權責不清﹕黑心食品涉及眾多不同部門﹐例如農業﹐衛生及工商部
門﹐不同部門之間缺乏有效協調﹐互相推卸責任。(香港不少市民在公眾地方
曬衣服﹐食物環境衛生署﹐路政署﹐運輸署﹐警務署互相推卸責任)
Responsibilities of government departments are unclear: Toxic food issues are
related to different sectors, e.g. agriculture, hygiene and business. They do not
coordinate well and shirk responsibility. (In HK, many people hang out the
clothes in public places. Food and Environmental Hygiene Department,
Highways Department, Transport Department and Hong Kong Police Force shirk
responsibilities.)
