中国汉传密学研究院举行的
新春晚会塔州州长
Honourable David BartletteMP的致词〔全文〕
2010年2月14日
感谢诸位来宾:
首先,我希望对您神圣的 王大师表示感谢,也希望代表所有来宾,感谢您仁慈的邀请。
我也希望承认我在国会的同事,反对党领袖荣誉的Will Hodgeman及他的太太;塔州绿党领袖Nick McKim;我的同事和朋友Lisa Singh;以及多位市长和贵宾们。感谢您们在这美好的晚上与我们一起。
今天是一个特别的日子。一个被许多不同的庆祝作为特征。当然今天也是情人节,可以说今天是一个典型的、被神圣化的对爱的庆祝日。
今天Larissa和我很兴奋地能够去意大利的俱乐部庆祝圣Carlos Borromeo的节日。而今天晚上,又能够庆祝中国新年,说“恭喜发财”。
我跟陆克文不同的是,这是我会讲的唯一的一句中国话:“恭喜发财”。
我相信我的国会同事也会同意,能够在塔州融和那么多的文化、包容那么多的文化传统和庆祝那么多的喜庆节日、凝聚那么多的历史文化和那么多的爱、共同分享著希望和志向,在和谐的共同前进,的确是感受到特别幸福的。
因为,很当然的,除了我们这块土地的传统拥有者之外(而我们今晚聚集在他们土地上),我们都是新来到这里的,我们各有自已的历史、传统、希望和志向。
今天晚上就是很美好的庆祝中国新年的新春晚会,而在这里庆祝中国新年的过程之中,根据我们四万年的历史延续和文化传统,也形成了塔州的庆祝历史和文化传统。
谢谢各位。
Thank you.
Can I firstly acknowledge Your Holiness Master Wang and thank you on behalf of everyone here for your kind invitation. I also acknowledge my parliamentary colleagues, the Honorable Will Hodgeman and his wife Nicola, leader of the Opposition; Nick McKim, leader of the Tasmanian Greens; my friend and colleague, Lisa Singh; and many Mayors, distinguished guests, all of whom you are. Thank you very much for joining us on this lovely evening.
Today is a special day. A special day marked by so many different celebrations. Of course it is Valentine’s Day, perhaps a typically Anglified, if you like, celebration of love. Earlier today Larissa and I were thrilled to be at the Italian club to celebrate the Festival of St Carlos Borromeo. And tonight, of course we are here to celebrate Chinese New Year, and say “Gong Hay Fat Choy”. Unlike Kevin Rudd, that is the only Mandarin that I know.
Isn’t it a special thing for all of us in Tasmania, and I know my parliamentary colleagues will agree, it is a special thing for us in Tasmania to be able to celebrate and embrace so many cultures, so many traditions, so much history, and so much love, hope and aspiration going forward. Because of course, we are all, except for the traditional owners of our land, on which we are meeting tonight, we are all new arrivals here, and we all bring with us our own histories and traditions and hopes and aspirations.
It is a magnificent evening tonight to be able to celebrate the Chinese New Year, and in doing so, celebrate all those histories and traditions that make up Tasmania, built upon the 40,000 years of history and tradition that has come before us.
Thank you.
