香港人恐懼“蝗蟲” Hong Konger is Upset About “Locust”

We still can remember how happy we werewhen Hong Kong finally reunited with the motherland, and we all believe thatHong Kong’s return has had a good beginning and Hong Kong’s future will be evenbrighter. However, things are not going like what we image about. The fightbetween Hong Kong people and mainland people is more and more fierce. The mainpoint is that Hong Kong people are not happy to see the mainland people usetheir resource without paying any tax.

我們依然記得香港終於迴歸祖國懷抱時的喜悅，我們都相信香港的迴歸是個好開端，香港的未來會更加明亮。但是，實行並不像我們想象的那樣。香港人和大陸人的爭論越發激烈。主要就是香港人看到大陸人不用交稅就使用他們的資源就不高興了。

Hong Kong people called the people who goto Hong Kong and enjoy a high social welfare “locust”, we can see that literary,Hong Kong people worry about that mainland people will “eat” too much theirwelfare, just like a locust, and left less or nothing for them. What’s worse,for instance, if a mainland pregnant woman having baby in Hong Kong, then herbaby are going to enjoy the high Hong Kong social welfare, like they can go toHong Kong’s school, receive a better education, and the medical insurance,which are all better than mainland’s level. What makes the Hong Konger upsetabout is that they enjoy this welfare without paying any tax, that’s reallybothering them.

香港人叫這些來香港享受高社會福利的人作“蝗蟲”，我們能夠直觀地看字面理解，香港人擔心大陸人會吃光他們的福利，就像蝗蟲，給他們留下極少或者什麼都不留的福利。更糟糕的是，例如一個大陸孕婦在香港生孩子的話，她的孩子就會享受香港的社會福利，例如他們能夠上香港的學校，接受更好的教育，還有醫療保險，這些都比大陸的水準高。讓香港人不安的是他們不用交稅就能享受福利，這實在是讓他們惴惴不安。

To addition, as the Hong Kong Permit is easierthan before, more and more people are attending to go to Hong Kong to settledown or travel. And some mainland people’s behavior has start a controversy,their uncivilized behavior makes them more obnoxious to Hong Kong people. Forexample, mainland people eat in subway, litter everywhere. We cannot blame HongKong people by that; after all we lower their city quality.

還有，現在香港通行比以前簡單，越來越多人都打算去香港定居或者旅遊。有些大陸人的行爲就引發了爭議，他們的不文明行爲讓香港人更加討厭他們。例如，大陸人在地鐵裏吃東西，隨處丟垃圾。我們不能因此責怪香港人，畢竟是我們拉低了他們的城市素質。

To sum up, Chinese government could introducerelevant policy to balance the welfare between Hong Kong and mainland people,and mainland people who go to Hong Kong should pay attention to their Kong reunited with motherland is not easy; we should not break ourrelationship for that.

總而言之，中國政府應該出臺相關的政策，去平衡香港和大陸的福利，還有去香港的大陸人應該注意他們的行爲。香港好不容易迴歸祖國，我們不能因爲這些事破壞我們的關係。
