ACB News《澳华财经在线》12月25日讯 一年一度圣诞节来临之际，澳大利亚总理莫里森发表致辞。
致辞中总理莫里森称，“今年圣诞节我们最强烈的感受，就是感恩之情，因为我们的庆幸之事多过了我们经历的挣扎之苦。”
“今年对我们所有人来说都很不容易。有些人痛失亲人，有些人则失去工作和生计，有些则承受与家人分隔异地之苦，封锁期间隔离无法与挚爱亲朋相聚。”
“对我们所有人来说，今年充满压力和众多不确定因素。”
莫里森总理指出，“在经历这一切之时，尽管我们不得不保持社交距离，然而在情感上我们却紧密相连、守望互助，每个澳洲人都在各司其职，相互团结支持，伟大的澳大利亚精神今年再一次闪耀光芒。“
“即使现在在悉尼的北部海滩，每个人也都在各尽所能，以确保全国各地同胞的安全。无论您身在澳大利亚何处，今年圣诞节作为澳大利亚人，可以再次细细感想我国的幸运之处。“
展望未来，莫里森总理称，今年圣诞又是充满希望的时节，并引用经文为澳大利亚祈祷——“吾辈行善，不可丧志。始终不渝、时机成熟、必有收获。"
致辞最后，总理莫里森代表其及其家人，共同祝澳洲民众圣诞及新年健康快乐！
If there's one overwhelming feeling we have this Christmas, it's one of thankfulness.
This year has not been easy for any of us.
Some of us have faced the loss of loved ones. Others, the loss of jobs and their livelihoods. Separation from family. Isolation during lockdowns and lost gatherings with those we love.
For all of us this year has been a time of stress and a lot of uncertainty.
Yet through it all, once again, we have rallied to each other, together.
Australians are an amazing people with an amazing spirit. This year the Australian spirit has shone brightly again.
Though we had to be distant socially, emotionally we connected and turned to each other.
With everyone playing their part.
Even now in Sydney, on the Northern Beaches, everyone is still there doing their bit to keep all of us safe right across the country.
No matter where you are in Australia, this Christmas is one where, as Australians, we can once again count our blessings as a country.
And in our very Australian way, resolve once again to share those blessings with others wherever we can.
We give thanks this year for our Christmas because our blessings outweigh our struggles.
For all of us, those who are Christian and those who are not, this Christmas is again a time of great hope.
My prayer for Australia this Christmas comes from the great verse: "Let us not grow weary of doing good. For in due season we shall reap a harvest, if we do not give up."
So stay safe. Stay COVIDSafe.
May God bless you and your family at this Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Australia.
The Hon Scott Morrison MP
Prime Minister of Australia
