汉密尔顿老年关爱中心主任Gail在晚晴中秋联欢会上的致词


Good morning everyone

各位,早上好!

Thank you for inviting me to join you today to celebrate the Moon Festival. I am delighted to be part of it.

谢谢你们邀请我参加你们今天庆祝中秋节的活动,我很高兴成为其中的一员。

I look around the room and recognise so many faces because the members of the Chinese Golden Age group have been coming to the centre and joining the activities for many years now.

我环顾大厅,看到有这么多熟识的面孔,是因为华人晚晴活动中心会员来老年活动中心参加活动已很多年了。

I am genuinely impressed by your enthusiasm to get involved even though I know that language for many of you is still a barrier.

我真佩服你们的热情参与,我知道你们中的许多人仍然还有着语言障碍。

Your group has joined the older New Zealand people at Age Concern for the warm-up, walk and wade event which we held for many years, hydro on the go, visit to the heritage village at Mystery Creek, the Masked Ball and of course Zumba Gold.

晚晴在这里参加我们组织的新西兰老年人活动,如:我们举办多年的热身走步活动、去水上世界,参观历史文化遗存、面具舞会、ZUMBA舞活动。

In fact any activity which could be enjoyed with a laugh and a smile……you were there.

事实上,任何一项活动,都可以感受欢乐,我们都会看到你们,都有你们的身影!

This year it is good to see some Kiwi older people joining your celebrations and so creating a multi-cultural event.

今年很高兴看到一些在当地土生土长的老年人参加你们的庆祝活动,从而把你们的节庆活动变成了一个多元文化的盛会。

It is important for people who are living away from their homeland to maintain their cultural heritage and I look forward to enjoying your performances this morning.

那些远离家乡的人们--晚晴的会员,仍然维护着自己的文化来传承中华文化,这很重要。今天上午,我期待欣赏你们的表演!

The staff from Age Concern will now sing a Maori welcome song.

现在,我们老年关爱中心的员工给大家唱一首毛利欢迎客人的歌。
