| 批準同性婚姻將大大提升中國的國際形象（附：具體修改方案有兩種：一是設立同性婚姻法案；二是在現行婚姻法中略做改動：將婚姻法中的“夫妻”二字改為“配偶”，在第一次出現“配偶”字樣的地方加“（性別不限）”四字。） |
It would improve China's image in the world if same-sex marriage was legalized. (Note: There are two specific proposals under consideration: one is to establish a separate law covering same-sex marriages; the other is to revise the current law by replacing the term "husband and wife" with the term "spouses", and adding the note "regardless of sex".) |

| 全民所有的央企去年利潤超萬億，卻只向中央財政上繳600億，國資委負責人解釋說未上繳部分是全國人民儲蓄。請問：你們央企是銀行嗎？哪個儲戶表示愿意在你們那里存錢？按照你們的邏輯，今后所有的貪官也可以說是將國家的錢存在自己家！強烈要求今年全國兩會就央企利潤上繳制定合理制度！ |
China's centrally administered state-owned enterprises (SOEs) posted profits of over 1 trillion yuan last year, of which only 60 billion yuan were delivered to the central government. An official from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission said the gap represents the Chinese people's savings. I have to ask: Are the central SOEs banks? Who would be willing to put their money in accounts with them? If what you say is true, corrupt officials could say they are just looking after the government's money at home. I strongly urge this year's NPC and CPPCC sessions to establish a rational system for the distribution of these profits. |

| 有網民建議為被拐兒童設立數據庫和解救獎勵制度，我表示反對。理由之一是建立數據庫可能會成為商業騙錢的手段，高額獎金刺激等于刺激犯罪增加，導致犯罪產業鏈形成！我認為現在兒童被拐賣的原因不是缺少物質獎勵，而在于懲罰力度不夠，因此，有必要對刑法相關條款進行修改，加大制裁力度。 |
Some netizens have suggested establishing a database of abducted children as well as a reward system for finding them, but I object. The system might turn into a means to cheat people of money. Also, big reward might stimulate more crimes and even lead to a new criminal industry. I think the reason why children are abducted is not the lack of sufficient ransoms, but that punishment for offenders is not heavy enough. Hence, it's necessary to amend the relevant clauses in Criminal Law to impose greater penalties. |

| 【房價調控仍是玄機重重】高房價已經扼住了中國經濟的喉嚨，但房價調控仍然玄機重重。國資委又特批五家央企留在房地產市場，使做房地產的央企從原來的16家擴大到21家。2月的京滬房價上漲幅度超過15%，央企的房地產規模擴容，新的地王再現只不過是時間問題。不動真格的，房價調控就仍然是花拳繡腿。 |
【Regulations on housing prices are still filled with mysteries.】High housing prices have been an obstacle to China's economic development, but regulations are still filled with mysteries. Another five centrally administered state-owned enterprises (SOEs) received special approval from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to do business in the property market, bringing the total amount of such SOEs to 21. In February, housing prices rose by more than 15 percent in Beijing and Shanghai. As SOEs exert more and more influence in the real estate sector, "land kings" will continue to put upward pressure on the market. It's only a matter of time before another record-high land sale will be posted. Without further corrective action, current regulation on housing prices will not work. |
