For example, in 1974, when most Chinese in Hong Kong could not function in English, the government finally passed "legal language provisions" which for the first time formally recognized Chinese as being, along with English, a language for official use.
例如一九七三年港府為大多數不通英文的中國人，制訂「法定語文條例」，正式承認中英文同為合法的官方語言。
