Ladies and Gentlemen,

　　It is always an exciting day in New Year Eve as the majority of people in the world are in very good mood of celebrating New Year. There are numerous New Year parties around the globe where many children are re-united with their families, young couples are together with their newborns, grandparents are taking their opportunities to spend some quality time with their own children as well as grandchildren. And the list goes on and on.

　　Just what exactly is New Year Eve? In my own view, I think there are two sets of meaning.

　　First, New Year Eve represents hope and a new start of the year. Hope is important to mankind. The symbolic meaning encourages us to put all our bad luck behind us as we look forward to a fresh start from the first day of the year.

　　Second, New Year Eve represents bonding between mankind. This important day grants all of us a chance to stay close to someone we love dearly. As we spend time with them, perhaps, we ask them how they are doing lately, or we find other ways to show someones how much we care for them.

　　What else do we get out of New Year Eve? Joy is the feel good factor. It means we enjoy being with someone. And joy is something that money can not buy in this world.

　　Thank you very much.

　　女士们，先生们，

　　除夕是世界上大多数人最兴奋的一天，因为他们都有庆祝新年的心情。除夕这天，世界上有许多欢乐派对。儿童与家人团结，年轻夫妇与他们的新生儿在一起，祖父母利用这个机会与时光，陪伴自己的子女以及孙子。例子不胜枚举。

　　到底除夕是什么?个人的看法，我认为有两重含义。

　　首先，除夕是关于希望和新一年的起点。希望对人类来说是很重要的。它象征鼓励我们忘掉过去或一些不如意事(运气)意义。期待着从新年的第一天，重新再开始生活。

　　第二，除夕是关于人类之间的相处。在这重要的一天，它给予大家一个机会去贴近我们挚爱的人。在我们与他们共度除夕这一刻，也许，我们会去了解这些挚爱的人，他们近来的生活过得怎么样，或者我们会寻求其他途径，显示对某人，我们是多么关心他们的。

　　在除夕，我们有什么可以得到呢?是快乐感!这意味着，跟挚爱的人一起享受珍贵的一刻，这重喜悦，在世界上，用金钱是买不到。

　　非常感谢您们。
