今天是第十一个全民国家安全教育日，香港国安法颁布实施也迈向六周年。香港特区国安委举办“全民国家安全教育日”开幕典礼暨主题讲座，中央港澳工作办公室主任、国务院港澳事务办公室主任夏宝龙将以视频方式出席，并发表主旨致辞。中东战火延烧、世界动荡加剧背景下的这个国安日，让港人更深刻理解今届主题“主动对接‘十五五’规划，坚持统筹发展和安全”的深刻内涵，更懂得安全稳定局面来之不易，更加坚定以高水平安全护航高质量发展。

昨日《大公报》刊出特派记者在霍尔木兹海峡前线采访的独家见闻，报道甫一出街，就在网络和社交媒体得到广泛转发、热议。网友评论留言最集中的，是给记者点赞，赞扬他们的勇敢和职业精神，希望他们“一定要注意安全”。这说明技术越发达、资讯越丰富，人们对真相也越渴求，记者深入一线的实地采访也就越有价值。前线记者带来的第一手信息，也让人们感受到战争不再是遥远的新闻，当地居民一句“很羨慕你们住在安宁和平的国家”，更让人懂得安全稳定环境的可贵。

对于中国人来说，虽已远离战火纷飞、国土沦亡的威胁，但是维护国家安全的斗争，一刻也没有停止。尤其是在当今霸权主义肆虐的世界，贸易、金融、科技等都被武器化，非传统安全领域的威胁骤增，必须贯彻“总体国家安全观”，将维护国安的意识深入到社会日常生活。对此，处于维护国安斗争第一线的香港，更有切肤之痛。2019年的黑暴和港版颜色革命，留下无法抹平的伤痛；美国对中央和特区官员实施所谓制裁、对零关税的香港加征145%的关税，霸道霸凌无所不用其极，说明外部势力扰乱香港、并借此遏制中国的图谋不会改变，干涉从未停止。

正因为如此，香港对加强国安教育的需求更加迫切，亦建立了完整的制度体系。国安法第10条明确要求“香港特别行政区应当通过学校、社会团体、媒体、网络等开展国家安全教育”，为加强国安教育确立了法理基础。国务院新闻办今年2月发布《“一国两制”下香港维护国家安全的实践》白皮书，全面总结了香港维护国家安全的实践历程和经验启示，阐明了香港特区行政、立法、司法以及社会各界维护国家安全的责任，并对全社会合力做好国安教育作出清晰指引。

今年国安日前后，特区政府问责官员结合自身工作领域，表达维护国安坚定立场，八支纪律部队分别举行开放日活动、国安教育地区导师深入基层社区宣介、香港中小学参访团赴北京、南京参访等，一系列活动提升社会对国家安全的认知和重视。国安委举办“全民国家安全教育日”开幕典礼暨主题讲座，统筹系列学校和社区活动，生动说明每位香港市民都是国家安全的受益者和守护者，国家安全绝非遥远的抽象概念，就体现在我们的安乐茶饭、寻常生活中。

Strengthening National Security Education to Consolidate the Foundations of Hong Kong's Development

Today marks the 11th National Security Education Day, while the Hong Kong National Security Law is approaching its sixth anniversary since implementation. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Committee for Safeguarding National Security is hosting the opening ceremony and a thematic seminar for the occasion. Xia Baolong, Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Work Office of the Central Committee and of the State Council's Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, will attend via video link and deliver a keynote speech. Against the backdrop of escalating conflicts in the Middle East and growing global instability, this year's National Security Education Day enables Hong Kong residents to gain a deeper understanding of the theme: "Proactively aligning with the 15th Five-Year Plan while maintaining a coordinated approach to development and security." It also reinforces the recognition that a stable and secure environment is hard-earned, and strengthens the resolve to safeguard high-quality development through high-level security.

Yesterday, Ta Kung Pao published an exclusive frontline report by its special correspondent from the Strait of Hormuz. The article quickly went viral across online platforms and social media, sparking widespread discussion. The most common response from readers was praise for the journalists' courage and professionalism, coupled with wishes for their safety. This reflects a broader reality: as technology advances and information becomes more abundant, the public's desire for truth only intensifies, making on-the-ground reporting all the more valuable. First-hand accounts from the frontline bring the reality of war closer to home. A remark from a local resident — "We envy those who live in peaceful and stable countries" — serves as a powerful reminder of the preciousness of peace and stability.

For the Chinese people, although the threats of war and territorial loss have long receded, the struggle to safeguard national security has never ceased. In today's world, where hegemonism is on the rise, areas such as trade, finance and technology are increasingly weaponised, and threats in non-traditional security domains are rapidly growing. It is therefore essential to uphold a holistic approach to national security, embedding awareness of national security into everyday social life. Hong Kong, positioned at the forefront of this struggle, has experienced these challenges firsthand. The unrest and "colour revolution" in 2019 left deep and lasting scars. Meanwhile, so-called sanctions imposed by the United States on central and HKSAR officials, along with the imposition of a 145% tariff on Hong Kong despite its zero-tariff status, exemplify acts of coercion and bullying. These developments make clear that external forces will not cease their attempts to destabilise Hong Kong as a means of containing China.

For this very reason, the need to strengthen national security education in Hong Kong has become increasingly urgent, and a comprehensive institutional framework has been established. Article 10 of the National Security Law explicitly stipulates that "the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall promote national security education through schools, social organisations, the media and the internet," thereby providing a firm legal foundation for such efforts. In February this year, the State Council Information Office released a white paper titled "Hong Kong: Safeguarding China's National Security Under the Framework of One Country, Two Systems."  The document offers a comprehensive review of Hong Kong's experience in safeguarding national security, outlines the responsibilities of the executive, legislative and judicial branches as well as various sectors of society, and provides clear guidance for a collective societal effort in advancing national security education.

Around this year's National Security Education Day, accountable officials of the HKSAR government have expressed their firm stance on safeguarding national security within their respective policy areas. The eight disciplined services have organised open days, community-based national security education ambassadors have conducted outreach at the grassroots level, and study tours for primary and secondary school students have been arranged to Beijing and Nanjing. These initiatives have significantly enhanced public awareness and understanding of national security. The National Security Committee's opening ceremony and thematic seminar, together with a wide range of school and community activities, vividly illustrate that every Hong Kong citizen is both a beneficiary and a guardian of national security. Far from being an abstract or distant concept, national security is embedded in the everyday well-being and ordinary lives of the people.

常用词汇

•Backdrop（背景、大环境 n.）

例：Against the backdrop of rapid digital transformation, traditional industries are being forced to rethink their long-term strategies.

（在数码转型加速的背景下，传统产业被迫重新思考其长远策略。）

解说：

比起"nowadays"，"backdrop" 不只关注“这个问题本身”，而是进一步说明“这个问题是在一个怎样的大环境下出现的”，层次更高。

可参考的句型

Against the backdrop of ___, the issue of ___ has become increasingly prominent.（开头句）

Set against the backdrop of ___, ___ has attracted growing attention.（开头句变化）

The problem should be understood against a broader backdrop of ___.（分析段）

This development cannot be separated from the backdrop of ___.（深层分析）

•Reinforce（加强、巩固 v.）

例：Ultimately, these efforts help reinforce the foundations of a more resilient and inclusive society.

（最终，这些努力有助于巩固一个更具韧性与包容性的社会基础。）

解说：

在写作中，"reinforce" 可以理解成“把原本已经存在的东西再加固一层”。例如我们写"reinforce public confidence"，不是单纯让大家更有信心，而是让这种信心变得更牢固、不容易动摇。所以它很适合用在讲制度、价值、社会稳定这类题目，特别是放在分析或结尾的位置。

•Embed（融入、扎根于 v.）

例：Technology has become so deeply embedded in our lives that it is almost impossible to imagine functioning without it.

（科技已深深融入我们的生活，以至于几乎难以想像没有它的情况。）

解说：

相比起常见的"affect" 或 "influence"，"embed" 这个词语不只是说“有影响”，而是表达一件事已经深入存在于某个系统或生活之中，甚至难以分开。

在写作上，embed很适合用在结尾或总结位置，用来把一个看似抽象的议题（例如教育、环境、责任）拉回到日常生活，让文章更有深度和说服力。

写作思维

这篇社评的核心在于：当外在环境越不稳定，社会就越需要“稳定与安全”作为支撑。在DSE写作中，“安全／稳定”不是一个固定题目，而是一个可以套用在很多议题的分析角度。只要题目涉及变化、风险或未来，都可以用以下的思路去写。

1.如何切入？

很多学生看到题目牵涉到社会、政策或公共议题，都会直接写好处或坏处、优点或缺点，但这样的写法往往比较平面。

我们可以换一个角度，先从“环境正在变，而且变得不太可预测”开始，例如写"Against the backdrop of rapid change, the future has become increasingly uncertain"，先把整个时代感铺出来。

接着再带到影响，例如"such uncertainty makes it difficult for individuals to plan ahead"，或者"people may feel less secure when they are unable to predict what lies ahead"，让文章不只是描述现象，而是写“人如何被影响”。

写到这里，可以顺着语气自然转一转，从“问题”走到“为什么这件事值得关注”，例如这样写："This, in turn, highlights the importance of maintaining a stable and reliable environment."。

这种写法可以帮助你的文章从“描述”走向“分析”，进一步写出这些变化如何影响人们的选择或心理，如让人难以规划未来等。

2.如何写“影响”？

学生在写“影响”段时，不要急着列很多影响，而是抓住一条线，把它慢慢写清楚。以科技发展的题目为例，可以先由一个具体变化入手。

若题目要求写人工智能的影响，与其笼统地说其带来各种各样的影响，不如直接写成"With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, the future of work has become increasingly uncertain."，先点出“不确定性”在哪里。接着可以顺势带出具体影响，例如"Such uncertainty makes it difficult for individuals to plan their career paths."。

3.如何写“建议”？

继续以“人工智能带来的不确定性”这个题目为例，学生在写建议段时，应该先自然承接前面提到的问题。

例如已经写到“AI令就业前景变得难以预测、人们感到不安”，这时候开头可以这样带一句："In response to these challenges, it is important to take proactive steps to better prepare for an uncertain future."，如此便能把整段和前文连起来，而不是突然开始讲建议。

接着讲具体做法时，可以选一两个方向写清楚。例如在制度层面，可以写："Governments can invest in education and training programmes to help workers adapt to technological changes. Such measures can provide individuals with the skills needed to remain competitive in the job market."。

另可从个人层面出发："At the same time, individuals should remain adaptable and be willing to continuously upgrade their skills."，这就形成“政府＋个人”两层次，内容又不会显得分散。
