Two Hong Kong property tycoons have gone on trial for allegedly bribing a top government official, in the biggest corruption case in the Chinese territory.
兩位香港房地產大亨因被控行賄政府高官而受審，這是香港最大的一起腐敗案件。Brothers Thomas Kwok and Raymond Kwok, co-chairmen of Sun Hung Kai Properties, one of the world’s largest real estate groups, are accused of providing cash, loans and the free use of two apartments to Rafael Hui, the former chief secretary in the Hong Kong government.
新鴻基地產(Sun Hung Kai Properties)聯席主席郭炳江(Thomas Kwok，見上圖)及郭炳聯(Raymond Kwok)被控向香港前政務司司長許仕仁(Rafael Hui)提供現金、貸款和兩個公寓單位的免費使用權。新鴻基是世界最大的房地產集團之一。The Kwok brothers, Mr Hui and two other co-defendants arrived in court yesterday for the first day of a trial that is expected to last more than two months. Mr Hui, who is accused of accepting HK$34m ($4.4m) in financial inducements, faces eight charges including “misconduct in public office” and providing false information. The Kwok brothers both pleaded not guilty as did Mr Hui and the other two men.
郭氏兄弟、許仕仁和另兩位被告昨日抵達法庭參加首日庭審，庭審預計將持續超過兩個月。許仕仁被控接受3400萬港元（合440萬美元）的賄賂，面臨8項指控，包括“公職人員行爲不當”和提供虛假信息。郭氏兄弟、許仕仁和其他兩人均不認罪。
Several charges accuse Mr Hui of being “favourably disposed” towards Sun Hung Kai Properties and/or its affiliated companies in return for payments from the Kwok brothers and companies in the property group. Mr Hui is the highest level official to be arrested by Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption.
幾項指控稱許仕仁“照顧”新鴻基地產和/或其附屬公司，換得郭氏兄弟和新鴻基旗下公司支付的賄賂。許仕仁是香港廉政公署(Independent Commission Against Corruption)逮捕的最高級別官員。According to Bloomberg Billionaires index, the Kwoks are the world’s 153rd and 154th richest people, each worth about $8.3bn.
彭博(Bloomberg)億萬富豪指數顯示，郭氏兄弟是全球第153和第154富有的人，個人身家均在83億美元左右。
