美國駐華大使新年致辭

Da Jia Hao! Mona and I would like to take this opportunity to greet our friends here in China and our old friends back home in America. The Chinese lunar new year is a time for people to return to their laojia, reunite with family, and gather around a holiday meal with loved ones and friends.

大家好！李蒙和我想借此機會，問候我們在中國及美國國內的朋友。中國農曆新年是人們回老家，與家人團圓，與索愛的人和朋友聚在一起共享節日大餐的時刻。

Those born in the year of the snake are said to be marked by wisdom and determination. In line with this tradition, 2017 should also be a year of new beginnings for the US and China as new leaders in both countries join together to forge stronger Asia-pacific relations.

據説蛇年出生的人的標誌是智慧和決心。與傳統相應，隨着美中新領導人一起鑄造更強的亞太關係，2017年也應該是新開始的一年。

40 years ago, President Nixon came to China and ushered in a new era of relations between our two great countries. That became the relationship that has existed almost since the very founding of the United States. Indeed, America launched our trading relationship with China only two years after the end of our war of the independence, when the United States first sent a trading ship to one of the world's oldest and most vibrant civilizations.

40年前，尼克松總統來到中國，開啟了我們兩國關係的新時代，這個新時代重新點燃幾乎從美國成立之初就已存在的關係。事實上，美國在我們的獨立戰爭結束後僅兩年就開始了我們與中國的貿易關係。當時美國第一次派出了貿易船到世界上最古老和最有活力的文明之一。

Our connection was cemented by the tireless labor and entrepreneurial spirit of the Chinese immigrants who came to the United States to realize their dreams of prosperity.

Their contribution to the construction of the transcontinental railroad helped America become a proceeding power by the end of the 19th century.

我們的聯繫因中國移民的不懈勞動和創業精神而得到鞏固，這些移民為了實現他們的繁榮夢想來到美國，他們為橫貫大陸的鐵路建設做出的貢獻幫助美國在19世紀末成為太平洋強國。

We fought together in World War II to restore peace and prosperity to East Asia. Today, our scientists and engineers are working together to cure diseases, solve the resource challenges that face our world, and leave our planet a better place for our children and their children.
