李嘉誠新聞稿



李嘉誠新聞稿全文如下:
中文版
政制發展,是鞏固香港法治關鍵的一步,此時此刻,我們表述不同訴求、不同擔憂,也是文明社會正常的現象,即使普選方法,未必盡如各方理想,但爭取民主的努力,每一步,也不會是徒勞無功的任務;儘管我們一團矛盾,大家一定要往前走。我深信,在中華民族的民主進程中,必定有我們香港人智慧的風采。

英文版
The progress towards democracy is the foundation to fortify the rule of law in HK. A spirit of tolerance attuning our differences showcases the strength and capacity of our shared civil society. Should we fail to nail the perfect synthesis between ideals and practicalities, we must still move forward together as‘a bundle of antinomies’. Every effort for democracy will not be a vain struggle, as progress will arc towards broadening participation, and with each and every conscientious vote, Hong Kong Citizens will be participants in building it so.”


Fortify - to build towers, walls etc in order to defend it 鞏固 (振奮/加強)
Nail - to say clearly and publicly which you support 明確表態 
Antinomies - 【哲】二律相悖 (矛盾)
Vain - in vain -without success in spite of your efforts (徒勞)
Conscientious - showing a lot of care and attention 認真的; 細心負責的
