On behalf of the Alderman of the city of Hobart and all of our staff, I would like to thank you very much for the hospitality and generosity that you have given to our city.
谨代表霍巴特市议员及全体工作人员，我很感谢您对本市的款待与慷慨。
And I would like to say that you are indeed a very, very wise man, reason being is that, of all the places in the world you could choose to live, you chose Hobart, and I thank you for that.
我亦希望表示，您确实是具有卓绝睿智的智者。原因是，全世界有那么多的选择，而您竟选择于霍巴特市定居，我为此向您致谢。
I thank you for participating in our community, I thank you for the generosity that you give to members of the community, and I thank you for inviting all of these beautiful guests tonight, to share in this wonderful evening.
我感谢您投入我们社区；
我感谢您对社会成员的慷慨的给予；
我亦感谢您在今夜宴请在座各位贵宾来享受这美妙的晚上。
I think we in the western world have a lot to learn from the Chinese culture. The Chinese new year is the time to take stock, to look back on your life, to be very grateful for everything you have, and then to go back to your family and friends, and share a very special time.
我想我们在西方国家，有很多需要向中国文化学习的地方。中国新年是一个反思的时刻，它让我们回顾人生、十分感恩自己所拥有的一切，并与亲友团聚，共同分享这特别的时刻。
I think in the western world we tend to get very busy and caught up with ourselves, and forget to stop and just be grateful of all that we have.
我感到在西方国家，我们倾向于太过忙碌而忘记停下来感恩自己所拥有的一切。
So we are very grateful Master Wang, and we thank you very much, and wish you a happy Chinese new year!
王师尊，因此我们十分感恩，我们十分感谢您，祝您中国新年快乐！
