Hello! I'm Guergana Guermanoff, Consul General of New Zealand in Shanghai. I wish you all the best in the Year of the Sheep. I look forward to seeing more Chinese people coming to New Zealand, the country of the Sheep, for travelling, studying and doing business.
大家好！我是新西兰驻上海总领事葛甘楠。在羊年，我要祝大家万事如意，洋洋得意！我也希望在羊年更多的中国朋友到新西兰这个“羊的国家”来旅游、学习、经商。
I'm very happy and very privileged to be living and working in Shanghai. I have been coming to Shanghai since the 1990s and I remember when Pudong was flat field. But this is the first time for me to represent New Zealand here and I'm very happy to have this opportunity.
我很高兴，也很荣幸在上海生活和工作。上世纪90年代我就来过上海，记得那时浦东还是一片平地。但这是我第一次在上海代表新西兰，我也很高兴有这个机会。
Shanghai is a world famous city. My family and I have been exploring parks and we have been looking for favorite Xiaolong restaurants. We already know a lot of memories in Shanghai we have to do with food because the food here in Shanghai is so varied and so delicious.
上海是一个世界闻名的城市，我和我的家人逛了不少公园，寻觅钟爱的小笼包餐馆。我们在上海有很多关于美食的回忆，因为上海的美食是如此丰富和美味。
Shanghai is of course a famous cultural center; it is also very famous for its fashion. I'm really looking forward to exploring Shanghai's designer shops and getting to know the young fashion designers in Shanghai.
上海是知名的文化中心，也以其时尚而闻名。我非常喜欢寻觅上海的时尚店铺，去认识年轻的时尚设计师。
Of course, Shanghai's architecture is absolutely beautiful. The very modern skyscrapers, combined with a lot of historical art deco and traditional Shanghainese-style housing make the city look very unique.
当然，上海的建筑非常漂亮。现代化的摩天大楼，结合许多历史艺术装饰和传统的上海石库门，这些让上海这座城市看起来非常特别。
But, of course, in any city, the most important and unique feature is the Shanghainese people. As my family and I have being touring in Shanghai we have been very touched by the helpful and welcoming native Shanghainese people. Every morning when I come to work, I catch the metro, the security guard of the metro station greets me by saying "Good morning" in English and gives me a very happy wave, and that makes my day.
当然，一座城市最重要、最独特的地方还是它的人民，也就是上海人。我和我的家人在上海旅行时，被上海人的乐于助人和热情好客深深打动。每天早上我乘地铁去上班，地铁站的安检员都会用英语跟我打招呼：“你好”，并跟我热情招手，这让我非常开心。
New Zealand and Shanghai have very long and friendly relationship. Shanghai's sister city in New Zealand is Dunedin. And in Dunedin we have a Shanghai-style garden which is based on Yuyuan Garden. Big New Zealand corporates are based here in Shanghai like New Zealand kiwifruit company Zespri and also the dairy giant Fonterra. A big number of Chinese students who come to New Zealand also come from Shanghai, as do a lot of tourists. So I hope in the Year of the Sheep, "Yang Nian" (the Year of the Sheep in Chinese), the friendship and the good relationship between New Zealand and Shanghai gets to be even more prosperous. Thank you!
新西兰和上海有着长久和友好的关系。上海在新西兰的姐妹城市是达尼丁，在那里，我们有一座基于豫园设计的上海式花园。不少新西兰的大型企业也落户于上海，比如奇异果经销商佳沛和乳制品企业恒天然。来新西兰的中国学生和游客，很多都是来自上海的。因此我希望在羊年，新西兰和上海的友谊能够进一步发展。谢谢大家！
