在“纪念澳门特别行政区基本法实施十周年座谈会”上,原澳门基本法起草委员会委员、中国人民大学教授许崇德在发言中讲述了澳门基本法起草过程中的一些趣事。据其披露,当年起草委员会成员为澳门博彩业是否写进基本法展开了激烈辩论,最后写成“赌博”还是“博彩”也颇费了番思量。 At the “Symposium on Commemorating the 10th Anniversary of the Implementation of the Basic Law of the Macao Special Administrative Region,” Xu Chongde, a former member of Drafting Committee of the Basic Law of Macao and a professor of Renmin University of China, made a speech in which he introduced some anecdotes in the drafting process of the Basic Law of Macao. According to its disclosure, members of the Drafting Committee drafted a heated debate on whether the gaming industry in Macao should be included in the Basic Law and finally wrote it as “gambling” or “betting.”
