Below this photo is the start of term speech.
We are holding this dinner tonight in order to welcome new staff members to our school, and also to demonstrate our gratitude for the ongoing contributions of our continuing staff members. I really hope that you will enjoy yourselves here with us this evening: I hope you enjoy the food, the drink, and the time that you will spend with your colleagues; both those you know, and those you have yet to meet.
今晚我们欢聚一堂,即是欢迎新的同事,同时也是要借此机会对老员工为学校所作出的持续的贡献表达感激之情。希望大家尽情享受美食和美酒,不管是已经熟悉的同事,还是尚未谋面的同事,让我们尽情的享受所有爱华人欢聚一堂的美好时光。
I feel very proud today. I feel proud to remember the many wonderful people who are no longer with us at Aihua, but who helped this school to become what it is. I feel proud of the people who are still here with us, and who are working hard to make Aihua better and better. I feel proud to look on the bright new faces that have joined our ranks, and who will help to create our future.
今天,我感到非常的骄傲自豪。我非常骄傲自豪的记起那些优秀的但已经离开爱华的员工,因为今天的爱华依然沉淀着你们的付出;同时,我更为依然与爱华在一起的出色的爱华人感到骄傲自豪,是你们的辛勤付出使爱华越来越强大;我同样感到非常骄傲激动的看到一些新的、闪亮的面孔加入到我们的团队,这些新生力量的加入将帮助爱华创造更美好的明天。
I feel proud today, but I also feel humbled. I feel humbled to think of the loyalty and the dedication of the Aihua soldiers with whom I stand shoulder to shoulder. Aihua is my family, and I love very deeply the people I have struggled beside. I won’t list names, or acts of valor, but if you get to know us, you will know who has sacrificed what to protect our school. Aihua is held together by a constant application of willpower, and it has not been easy for us to get where we are today. We are here though, because of quiet sacrifices made by brave people here among us.
今天我骄傲自豪的同时,我也亦感到自己的渺小,特别是和与我并肩奋斗的爱华战友们的忠诚和奉献相比。爱华是我的家,我非常热爱和我一起奋斗的爱华人,我不一一点名,也不一一列举他们的功德。如果你了解我们的话,你就会知道为了呵护爱华,谁都做了什么、谁都付出了什么、谁又都牺牲了什么。爱华拥有永恒的毅力,成长到今天,爱华走过了一条不平凡的路,爱华的今天,正是因为我们有太多的勇敢的爱华人在默默的做着贡献。
