Chinese New Year speech from Boris Johnson, Mayor of London

(倫敦市長鮑里斯·約翰遜的兔年新春致詞)

Hi I'm Boris Johnson, I'm Mayor of London. And once again it's my pleasure to support the Chinese New Year; an explosion of life, colour and energy in our city. This is the Year of the Rabbit, which of course stands for compassion, kindness and consideration for others, and those are very much virtues that we're going to need now as we pull out of this recession and go forward to a glorious Olympic year in 2012. I know it's going to be a fantastic Chinese New Year and I hope very much you'll all enjoy it. 恭喜發財!
