President Donald J. Trump: My fellow Americans, Melania and I are delighted to wish America and the entire world a very Merry Christmas. 

Melania Trump: At this time of year, we see the best of America and the soul of the American people. We see children packing boxes to brighten the Christmases of our brave men and women in uniform. We see families reaching out to neighbors in need. And we see communities coming together to serve one another.

President Donald J. Trump: In the season of joy, we spend time with our families, we renew the bonds of love and goodwill between our citizens, and most importantly, we celebrate the miracle of Christmas. For Christians, we remember the story of Jesus, Mary and Joseph that began more than 2,000 years ago as the Book of Isaiah tells us: For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. This good news is the greatest Christmas gift of all, the reason for our joy and the true source of our hope.

Melania Trump: This Christmas season, we celebrate our blessings as Americans, and we pray for peace all over the world.

President Donald J. Trump: On behalf of Melania, myself, Baron and the entire Trump family, God bless you, God bless America. And have a very, very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

特雷莎·梅给福克兰群岛2018年的圣诞贺词

2018 has been an exciting year for the people of the Falkland Islands – one that has brought with it new faces, new friendships and new opportunities.

The new legislative assembly has completed its first full year, with all your MLAs working hard for the people of the islands.

Plans for a new air link to Brazil have been agreed, including a regular stop in Cordoba in Argentina. It’s a move that will make the islands more accessible than ever and boost economic development, and is something your MLAs have done much to deliver.

Talks about fisheries are underway for the first time in 14 years – a vital step in ensuring that we manage our natural resources in a sustainable way while protecting a key local industry.

The islands have welcomed a new chief justice and the FIDF has a new major.

Falklands teams swept the board at the first-ever Mega Patagonian Ice Hockey Tournament – with members of the Stanley Penguins also joining their Chilean and Argentinian counterparts in mixed teams for friendly matches.

The Falklands’ flag flew proudly at the Commonwealth Games, bringing the islands to whole new audiences.

And tourism has increased – with more people from more places coming to experience the natural wonders of your beautiful home.

Alongside the tourists, this year, you also provided a gracious welcome for overseas visitors of a very different kind.

Since 1982, many of the graves at Darwin Cemetery had been marked simply as those of “an Argentine soldier known only to God”.

In March, more than 200 relatives were finally able to mourn at the graves of their sons, brothers, husbands and fathers – and the dignity and respect the people of the Falklands extended to those families said much about the character of your community.

Not far from Darwin another legacy of the war was dealt with as Goose Green became the islands’ first settlement to be completely cleared of mines.

Demining was also completed at Fox Bay East and although there is still much work to be done – work we will continue to support – more than 8,000 mines have now been destroyed.

Nearly 40 years after the conflict, the new air link, the joint ice hockey teams and the support provided to the families of Argentina’s war dead all point towards warmer relations with your nearest neighbours.

Indeed, when I met President Macri earlier this month – becoming the first British Prime Minister ever to visit Buenos Aires – it was a pleasure to focus not just on what separates us, but on what we can achieve together.

However, while the relationship between our governments is changing, I can assure that one thing will never change: our absolute commitment to the people and sovereignty of the Falkland Islands.

It is not up for debate.

As long as you desire the right to be part of the United Kingdom family, we will defend that right – and a valued part of our family is what you will remain.

This year has been all about progress, about moving forward.

As it draws to a close, we can all be positive about what the future holds for the Falkland Islands.

2019 will bring continued work on the Islands Plan, further discussions with Argentina under the 2016 Communique, and a referendum to determine constituency boundaries of the Legislative Assembly.

And as the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, we will strengthen our ties across globe, bringing greater opportunities not just for the UK itself but also for our overseas territories.

You may be half a world away from us here in the UK, but you are very much in our thoughts.

So, from myself and my husband Philip, and on behalf of the whole United Kingdom, let me wish a very happy Christmas to all the people of the Falkland Islands – and a peaceful and prosperous new year.

2017年英国首相梅姨圣诞致辞

As we gather with our friends and family, I want to say thank you to all those whose service to others means they will be spending time away from their loved ones this Christmas.

Men and women in our armed forces whose humbling bravery and daily sacrifices help to ensure the security of our nation and our allies around the world.

The heroes in our emergency services whose courage and dedication so inspired the nation in response to tragedy at Grenfell Tower and the abhorrent terrorist attacks in Manchester and London. But whose service saves lives in our communities every day, including Christmas Day.

And the thousands of volunteers in our country who will give up their time to make someone else’s Christmas that little bit better: from faith inspired projects like the Churches Together initiative in my own constituency - to aid workers helping those in war-torn parts of the world.

As we celebrate the birth of Christ, let us celebrate all those selfless acts - and countless others - that epitomise the values we share: Christian values of love, service and compassion that are lived out every day in our country by people all faiths and none.

Let us take pride in our Christian heritage and the confidence it gives us to ensure that in Britain you can practice your faith free from question or fear.

Let us remember those around the world today who have been denied those freedoms – from Christians in some parts of the Middle East to the sickening persecution of the Rohingya Muslims.

And let us reaffirm our determination to stand up for the freedom of people of all religions to speak about and practice their beliefs in peace and safety.

So this Christmas, whatever our faith, let us come together confident and united in the values we share. And wherever you are at this special time of year, let me wish you all a very Happy Christmas.

2016年英国首相梅姨圣诞致辞

作为英国首相，能和你们当中的许多人一起共事，在我看来，再也没有比这更崇高的荣誉了——正是你们这些了不起的男女军人们，组成了我们英国的武装力量。

There is no greater honour for me, as Prime Minister, than to work with so many of you: the extraordinary men and women who make up the armed forces of our United Kingdom. 

所以当我们在思考圣诞节的时候，我想给你们送上一份个人化的祝福：我在此代表全国人民，感谢你们为我们奉献出的一切！同时也想告诉你们，全国人民是多么感激你们，还有你们的家庭所做出的伟大牺牲，尤其是在每年的这一时刻。

So as our thoughts turn to Christmas, I want to send you this personal message, to thank you on behalf of the whole country for everything you do for us; and to tell you just how much we appreciate the extraordinary sacrifices that you and all your families make, especially at this time of year. 

本月初，我登上了位于巴林的英军海洋级两栖攻击舰，与海员、海军和飞行员们会面。他们执行的任务便是，帮助维护海湾地区的稳定。我们聊到了远离故土的艰辛和困苦，在阖家团聚的圣诞节，却与至亲远隔千里。

Earlier this month I was on board HMS Ocean in Bahrain, meeting sailors, marines and pilots whose service is helping to bring stability to the Gulf. We talked about the challenges of being away from home – separated and at such a distance from loved ones this Christmas. 

在今年的节日期间，大约会有5千名英国武装军人，继续在此部署行动，在沙漠、在海上、甚至在海底，持续开展核威慑巡航。

Over this holiday period, there will be around 5,000 members of our Armed Forces deployed on operations – in the desert, at sea, even under the sea operating our continuous nuclear deterrent. 

与此同时，在多数情况下，身在英国国内的军人官兵们也会严阵以待，以及时应对国内的突发事件，比如在去年的圣诞假期期间，很多军人都参加了洪水救灾抢险工作。

While even those who are able to be here in the UK will, in many cases, be on standby to deal with domestic incidents like the flood relief that so many of you helped with during your Christmas breaks last year. 

正如你们保家卫国的承诺，是如此的坚定不移。作为回报，我们也应当给予你们同样深刻的承诺和坚定的支持。

Just as your commitment to our country is unfaltering – so in return we owe you the same deep commitment and unflinching support. 

因此，今年年初在索尔兹伯里平原见到你们家人的时候，我也做出了明确表示：我们将彻底履行对你们的承诺，包括帮助你们购置房屋；并为你们的孩子在校读书提供资金支持。

So as I made clear when I met some of your families on Salisbury Plain earlier this year, we will honour the commitments we have made to you, including helping you to buy your own home and providing support for your children in school. 

即将迈入2017年，我知道可以为你们提供更多的帮助，我也下定决定，一定要这样做下去。因为我希望你们还有你们的家人都知道，英国政府永远在你们左右，支持你们。

And as we go into 2017, I know there is more we can do to help and I am determined that we should do so. Because I want you – and all your families - to know that this government is on your side. 

日复一日，你们冒着极大的危险，却竭尽所能保障我们的安全，驻扎在世界各地保障英国的国家利益。你们是全世界最了不起的军人，你们的事迹一直激励着我们所有人。

Day in and day out, you put yourselves on the line to keep us safe and to protect our interests around the world. You are the finest in the world, and your service is an inspiration to us all. 

所以我谨代表全国人民，再次向你们致以衷心的感谢！也祝福你们度过一个祥和的圣诞和快乐的新年！

So on behalf of our whole country, let me say a huge thank you once again – and let me wish you all a peaceful Christmas and a very happy New Year.

美国前总统奥巴马圣诞致辞 2016年

THE PRESIDENT: Merry Christmas everybody! One of the best parts of the holiday season is spending time with the special people in your life. And for me, that means getting some help from my best friend for our annual Christmas Weekly Address.

THE FIRST LADY: Given how our first Christmas Weekly Address went, I realized that Barack needed all the help he could get.

[PAUSE]

THE FIRST LADY: Celebrating the holidays in the White House over these past eight years has been a true privilege. We’ve been able to welcome over half a million guests… our outstanding pastry chefs have baked 200,000 holiday cookies… and Barack has treated the American people to countless dad jokes.

THE PRESIDENT: Although a few got a…Frosty reception.

THE FIRST LADY: This year’s White House holiday theme is “The Gift of the Holidays,” and our decorations reflect some of our greatest gifts as a nation: from our incredible military families, to the life-changing impact of a great education.

THE PRESIDENT: And the greatest gift that Michelle and I have received over the last eight years has been the honor of serving as your President and First Lady. Together, we fought our way back from the worst recession in 80 years, and got unemployment to a nine-year low. We secured health insurance for another twenty million Americans, and new protections for folks who already had insurance. We made America more respected around the world, took on the mantle of leadership in the fight to protect this planet for our kids, and much, much more.

By so many measures, our country is stronger and more prosperous than it was when we first got here. And I’m hopeful we’ll build on the progress we’ve made in the years to come.

Tomorrow, for the final time as the First Family, we will join our fellow Christians around the world to rejoice in the birth of our Savior. And as we retell His story from that Holy Night, we’ll also remember His eternal message, one of boundless love, compassion and hope.

THE FIRST LADY: The idea that we are our brother’s keeper and our sister’s keeper. That we should treat others as we would want to be treated. And that we care for the sick… feed the hungry… and welcome the stranger… no matter where they come from, or how they practice their faith.

THE PRESIDENT: Those are values that help guide not just my family’s Christian faith, but that of Jewish Americans, and Muslim Americans; nonbelievers and Americans of all backgrounds. And no one better embodies that spirit of service than the men and women who wear our country’s uniform and their families.

THE FIRST LADY: As always, many of our troops are far from home this time of year, and their families are serving and sacrificing right along with them. Their courage and dedication allow the rest of us to enjoy this season. That’s why we’ve tried to serve them as well as they’ve served this country. Go toJoiningForces.gov to see how you can honor and support the service members, veterans and military families in your community – not just during the holidays, but all year round.

THE PRESIDENT: So as we look forward to the New Year, let’s resolve to recommit ourselves to the values we share. And on behalf of the all the Obamas – Michelle, Malia, Sasha, Bo, and that troublemaker Sunny – Merry Christmas, everybody.

THE FIRST LADY: And we wish you and your family a happy and healthy 2017… thanks, and God bless.

美国前总统奥巴马圣诞致辞 2015年

Barack Obama : Merry Christmas, everybody! This is one of our favorite times of the year in the Obama household, filled with family and friends, warmth and good cheer. That’s even true when I spend all night chasing Bo and Sunny away from the cookies we leave for Santa.

It’s also my favorite weekly address of the year, because I’m joined by a special holiday guest star: Mrs. Obama.

Michelle Obama : Merry Christmas, everyone. Here at the White House, we’ve spent the past month helping everyone get into the holiday spirit.

Our theme this year is “A Timeless Tradition,” and the decorations in each room reflect some of our country’s most cherished pastimes – from saluting our troops and their families to helping children dream big dreams for their future.

And we’ve invited thousands of families here to the White House to enjoy the festivities – because there’s no holiday tradition more timeless than opening our doors to others.

Barack Obama : Today, like millions of Americans and Christians around the world, our family celebrates the birth of Jesus and the values He lived in his own life. Treating one another with love and compassion. Caring for those on society’s margins: the sick and the hungry, the poor and the persecuted, the stranger in need of shelter – or simply an act of kindness.

That’s the spirit that binds us together – not just as Christians, but as Americans of all faiths. It’s what the holidays are about: coming together as one American family to celebrate our blessings and the values we hold dear.

During this season, we also honor all who defend those values in our country’s uniform. Every day, the brave men and women of our military serve to keep us safe – and so do their families.

Michelle Obama : So as we sing carols and open presents, as we win snowball fights...

Barack Obama : Or lose snowball fights...

Michelle Obama：Let’s also take time to pay tribute to those who have given our country so much. Go to JoiningForces.gov to see how you can serve the troops, veterans, and military families in your community.

And together, we can show them just how grateful we are for their sacrifice. That’s a tradition we all can embrace – today and every day.

Barack Obama : So on behalf of Malia, Sasha, Bo, Sunny, and everyone here at the White House – Merry Christmas. May God bless our troops and their families. And may God bless you all with peace and joy in the year ahead.

美国前总统奥巴马圣诞致辞 2014年

THE PRESIDENT: Merry Christmas everybody! Now, we’re not going to take much of your time because today is about family and being together with the ones you love. And luckily for me, that means I get a little help on the weekly address, too.

总统：大家圣诞节快乐。我不会占用大家太多时间，因为今天是家庭团圆、亲友相聚的日子。对于我来说幸运的是，这意味着今天的每周演讲我也有家人的帮助。

THE FIRST LADY: The holidays at the White House are such a wonderful time of year. We fill the halls with decorations, Christmas trees, and carolers – and this year, we invited more than 65,000 people to join us. Our theme was “A Children’s Winter Wonderland” – and Americans young and old had a chance to come together and celebrate the season.

第一夫人：白宫的假日是一年中最美好的时刻。我们用饰品、圣诞树装饰了圣诞颂歌缭绕的白宫大厅。今年，我们邀请了6.5万多人到访白宫和我们欢聚。我们的主题是“儿童的冬季乐园”。老老少少的美国人都有机会欢聚在一起共庆佳节。

THE PRESIDENT: And today, our family will join millions across the country in celebrating the birth of Jesus – the birth not just of a baby in a manger, but of a message that has changed the world: to reach out to the sick; the hungry; the troubled; and above all else, to love one another as we would be loved ourselves.

总统：今天，我们全家将和全国千百万家庭一道庆祝耶稣的诞辰，不仅是为一个出生在马槽里的婴儿，还为一个改变世界的诉求：向陷于病痛、饥饿以及所有逆境中的人伸出援手，像爱自己一样去关爱他们。

THE FIRST LADY: We hope that this holiday season will be a chance for us to live out that message—to bridge our differences and lift up our families, friends, and neighbors… and to reconnect with the values that bind us together. And as a country, that also means celebrating and honoring those who have served and sacrificed for all of us—our troops, veterans, and their families.

第一夫人：我们希望这个假日能让我们有机会实践这一诉求——弥合分歧，加深亲友和邻里情谊，共同建立将我们彼此联系在一起的价值观。作为一个国家，这样意味着感谢那些为我们服务和奉献的人——我们的军队、老兵以及他们的家人。

THE PRESIDENT: In just a few days, our combat mission in Afghanistan will be over. Our longest war will come to a responsible end. And that gives us an opportunity to step back and reflect upon all that these families have given us. We’re able to gather with family and friends because our troops are willing to hug theirs goodbye and step forward to serve. After a long day, we can come home because they’re willing to leave their families and deploy. We can celebrate the holidays because they’re willing to miss their own.

总统：再过几天，我们在阿富汗的作战任务即将结束。我们持续时间最久的战争将以负责任的方式结束。这也给了我们一个机会回过头来向这些军队家庭致敬。我们之所以能和我们的家人朋友欢聚一堂，就是因为我们的军人情愿与家人挥手告别，前去服役。我们辛苦一天后能回到家中，是因为他们服从命令离开了他们的家人。我们能欢庆节日是因为有他们的牺牲。

THE FIRST LADY: And so, as our troops continue to transition back home—back to our businesses, our schools, our congregations, and our communities—it’s up to all of us to serve them as well as they have served us. You can visit JoiningForces.gov to find out how you can honor and support the troops, veterans, and military families in your communities. That’s something we can do not only during the holiday season, but all year round.

第一夫人：因此，当我们的军人从部队回到家中——回到企业，回到学校，回归会众，回到社区时——我们需要像他们为我们付出一样为他们服务。你可以访问JoingForces.gov网站了解如何向我们的军人、退伍老兵以及他们的家庭表达敬意、提供支持。这些事情我们不仅在假日里可以做，而是每天都能去做。

THE PRESIDENT: So Merry Christmas, everybody. May God bless you all. And we wish you and your family a happy and healthy 2015.

总统：祝大家圣诞快乐。上帝保佑你们。祝愿每一个人、每一个家庭在2015年幸福安康。

美国前总统奥巴马圣诞致辞 2013年

Merry Christmas, everybody! Well, this show is always a great way to get in the holiday spirit. Every year, I rehearse my own little act, just in case. But it seems like, yet again, they couldn’t find space to squeeze me into the program. (Laughter.) You are lucky I’m not singing.
大家圣诞快乐！亮灯活动一向是感受节日气氛的很好的方式。每年我都要排练一下我自己的小节目，以防万一。不过看起来，他们又一次无法把我安排到节目中。（笑声）我不唱歌是大家的运气。

First of all, let me thank Secretary Jewell and welcome her to her first Christmas Tree Lighting. She is doing a great job for our national parks. She used to run one of America’s biggest outdoor recreation companies, and now she’s charged with protecting the great outdoors for all of us. So we appreciate her and we want to thank Neil Mulholland and the whole National Park Foundation and National Park Service team for helping to put this beautiful production together.
首先，让我感谢朱厄尔部长，并欢迎她第一次参加圣诞树亮灯活动。她为国家公园所做的工作极为出色。她过去执掌美国最大的户外休闲活动公司之一，现在她负责为我们所有人保护我们的大户外。所以，我们向她表示感谢，我们还要感谢尼尔·马尔霍兰和整个国家公园基金会及国家公园管理局团队，他们帮助组织了这场美不胜收的表演。

Let’s also give it up for Jane Lynch and all the great performers who are doing an incredible job putting us in a festive mood tonight. (Applause.) And to all Americans who are here today and watching at home, we are so glad to be part of this wonderful holiday tradition.
也让我们为简·林奇和所有出色的演员们鼓掌，今晚，他们令人赞叹的表演让我们沉浸在节日气氛中（掌声）。而且我们要对今天在这里和在家里观看表演的所有美国人说，我们很高兴地参加这一精彩的节日传统活动。

For 91 years, the National Christmas Tree has stood as a beacon of light and a promise during the holiday season. During times of peace and prosperity, challenge and change, Americans have gathered around our national tree to kick off the holiday season and give thanks for everything that makes this time of year so magical -- spending time with friends and family, and spreading tidings of peace and goodwill here at home and around the world.
91年来，国家圣诞树始终代表着节日期间的灯塔和希望。在和平和繁荣以及挑战和变化的时代，美国人民汇聚在我们的国家圣诞树下，庆祝节日的开始，并对让每年的此时美妙无比的所有事物表达感恩——与亲朋好友共度时光，并在国内和世界各地传播和平及友善的喜讯。

And this year, we give a special measure of gratitude for Nelson Mandela, a man who championed that generosity of spirit. (Applause.) In his life, he blessed us with tremendous grace and unbelievable courage. And we are all privileged to live in a world touched by his goodness.
今年，我们向倡导这一慷慨精神的纳尔逊·曼德拉致以特别的谢意（掌声）。他在一生中以高风亮节和难以置信的勇气给我们带来福祉。生活在被其美德触动的世界中是我们所有人的殊荣。

Each Christmas, we celebrate the birth of a child who came into the world with only a stable’s roof to shelter Him. But through a life of humility and the ultimate sacrifice, a life guided by faith and kindness towards others, Christ assumed a mighty voice, teaching us lessons of compassion and charity that have lasted more than two millennia. He ministered to the poor. He embraced the outcast. He healed the sick. And in Him we see a living example of scripture that we ought to love others not only through our words, but also through our deeds.
每年圣诞节，我们都庆祝一位在出生时只有马厩的屋顶为他遮风挡雨的婴孩的降生。但是，通过谦卑及付出最大牺牲的一生、由信仰及善待他人引领的一生，耶稣基督发出了强有力的声音，给予我们同情和仁爱的教诲，这些教诲已持续了两千多年。他扶助穷人。他接纳被遗弃者。他治愈病人。在他身上，我们看到经文活生生的典范，教导我们不仅应当通过我们的言词，还应当通过我们的行动去关爱他人。

It’s a message both timeless and universal -- no matter what God you pray to, or if you pray to none at all – we all have a responsibility to ourselves and to each other to make a difference that is real and lasting. We are our brother’s keeper. We are our sister’s keeper.
这是一条永恒、普世的启示——不管具有何种信仰，亦或根本不信神——我们对自己和彼此都承担着产生切实和持久的影响的责任。我们是我们的兄弟的守护者。我们是我们的姊妹的守护者。

And so in this season of generosity, let’s reach out to those who need help the most. In this season of reflection, let’s make sure that our incredibly brave servicemembers and their families know how much we appreciate their sacrifice. And there are several military families and servicemen and women here tonight. We are so grateful to you for all that you do. (Applause.)
因此，在这慷慨助人的时节，让我们向那些最需要帮助的人伸出援手。在这反思自省的时节，让我们确保我们无比英勇的军人及其家属知道我们是多么地感谢他们所作的牺牲。今晚在场的有几家军人家庭和男女军人。我们非常感谢你们所付出的一切。（掌声）

In this season of hope, let us come together as one people, one family to ensure that we’re doing everything we can to keep America the land of endless opportunity and boundless optimism for which we’re so thankful.
在这希望的时节，让我们汇集在一起，作为一国子民和一个大家庭，保证尽我们所能确保美国一直是充满无限机会和无尽乐观精神的土地，我们为此心存感激。

So on behalf of Malia, Sasha, Marian, the First Lady Michelle, plus Bo and Sunny, I want to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a joyful holiday season. God bless you. God bless our troops. God bless the United States of America. (Applause.)
在此，我代表玛莉娅、萨莎、玛丽安、第一夫人米歇尔，还有波和桑尼，谨祝大家圣诞快乐、节日愉快！愿上帝保佑大家。愿上帝保佑我们的军队。愿上帝保佑美利坚合众国。（掌声）
