New Year’s Reflections
新年思绪
Looking back on the months gone by,
回顾过去的岁月,
As a new year starts and an old one ends,
当新的一年开始,旧的一年结束,
We contemplate what brought us joy,
我们回想着带给我们欢乐的那些事物,
And we think of our loved ones and our friends.
也把我们爱着的人与朋友放在心上.
Recalling all the happy times,
回想着欢乐的时光,
Remembering how they enriched our lives,
记住它们是怎样将我们的生活充满,
We reflect upon who really counts,
我们将真正重要的人放在心上,
As the fresh and bright new year arrives.
当新鲜明媚的一年来访.
And when I/we ponder those who do,
当我/我们乘上思绪的翅膀,
I/we immediately think of you.
你是我/我们立刻想到的那方.
