总理致辞

2020 年中秋节

多年以来，从卡市（Cabramatta）到堪培拉，从阿德莱德到珀斯，月饼、赏月、彩灯和烛光等中秋佳节的美好传统都为人带来欣喜，老少皆宜。

今年的佳节庆祝将会与往年不同。我们必须减少聚会人数，以不同的方式庆祝中秋。今年或许无法自由出行或远途旅行，但在这种情形下，我们的传统和仪式更显重要。

在动荡不安的时期，传统和仪式能为我们带来慰藉和安全感。今年面对 COVID 疫情及其带来的经济衰退，我们承受了诸多考验。面对挑战，我们众志成城，我坚信我们能从这场危机中强势反弹并且变得更加顽强。

北半球的中秋节庆，正好是澳大利亚的春季。在我国，这是春满枝头、色彩缤纷、万物复苏的季节。

即使在疫情之中，澳大利亚也充满了让人心怀感激的事物、充满着希望。我国是全世界最成功的多元文化国家。在中秋节等节庆中，我们得以享受我国多元文化社区丰富的文化传统。

我谨祝愿欢度中秋佳节的各位都能看到明朗夜空、皎皎圆月。

斯科特·莫里森议员

澳大利亚总理

MESSAGE FROM THE PRIME MINISTER

MOON FESTIVAL 2020

Over many years now, from Cabramatta and Canberra, to Adelaide and Perth, the Moon Festival’s wonderful traditions – of mooncakes and moon-gazing, lanterns and candles – have brought joy to young and old.

Our celebrations will be different this year. We must gather in smaller groups and be thankful in different ways. We may not be able to travel as freely or as far. But these are the times when our traditions and rituals are so important. They are a source of comfort and security in a time of great uncertainty.

This year, the year of the COVID pandemic and the COVID recession, we have been sorely tested. We have worked together to face this challenge, and I am confident we will emerge from this crisis stronger and more resilient than we entered it.

When this autumn festival is celebrated in the northern hemisphere, it’s springtime in Australia. A time in our seasons when the leaves, colours and warmth return.

Even in the midst of pandemic, in Australia we have much to be thankful for, and much to hope for.

We are the most successful multicultural nation in the world – and we reap the rewards of our wonderful multicultural community through celebrations like the Moon Festival.

To all who will celebrate this Moon Festival I hope for clear skies and a bright moon.

The Hon Scott Morrison MP

Prime Minister of Australia

2020 年中秋寄语

值此中秋佳节，我谨向所有庆祝该节日的澳大利亚人致以最热烈的问候。作为亚洲和世界多个国家和地区广泛庆祝的传统节日，中秋节现已成为澳大利亚最多彩的多元文化活动之一。澳大利亚全国各地通常会以节日游行、中秋彩灯和月饼庆祝这一传统佳节。

与许多其他节日和活动一样，今年中秋节的庆祝将会与往年大有不同。我感谢所有澳大利亚人在疫情期间给予的理解、耐心和努力，并为减少新冠病毒的传播，坚持采取一系列防疫措施。

一些澳大利亚人或许能与家人团聚，共享月饼和茶点，然而还有一些澳大利亚人，尤其是我的家乡维多利亚州的居民，则可能要在庆祝中秋佳节之际，不得不遵守社交距离的防疫限制。

类似中秋节这样的文化活动，让我们有机会能够弘扬澳大利亚丰富多彩和充满活力的多元文化遗产。

作为世界上最成功的多元文化社会之一，我们欢迎来自世界各地的移民，并在此过程中不断获得文化遗产的积淀。

我在此恭祝您与家人中秋快乐。

MESSAGE FOR MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL 2020

I send my warmest greetings to all Australians celebrating Mid-Autumn Moon Festival this year. Widely celebrated throughout Asia and the world, Mid-Autumn Moon Festival has become one of the brightest multicultural events in Australia, with parades, lanterns and moon cakes the centrepieces of celebrations around the country.

This year, like many other festivals and events, Mid-Autumn Moon Festival will be celebrated very differently. I thank all Australians for your understanding, patience and efforts during this time, adhering to the range of measures introduced to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

While some Australians may be able to gather in small groups with family and share mooncakes and tea, others, particularly those in my home state of Victoria, may have to observe the festivities while complying with physical distancing restrictions.

Cultural events like the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival are an opportunity to recognise Australia’s diverse, rich and vibrant multicultural heritage. As one of the most successful multicultural societies in the world, we have welcomed migrants from across the shores and in the process we have all been enriched.

I wish you and your families a Happy Mid-Autumn Moon Festival.

ALAN TUDGE

新州州长Gladys Berejiklian也发来节日的祝福：
