2014年大学英语四级考试中英翻译：节日联欢

　　节日联欢

　　在这明月当空的中秋之夜，我很高兴能应邀出席贵公司的庆祝晚宴，同各位一起度过一个轻松、难忘的夜晚。我们平时忙于各自的工作，几乎没有时间坐下来交谈。我希望这次晚会可以让我们无所拘束地相互沟通，增进友谊。在这个高度竞争的时代，人际关系越来越紧张，似乎缺少了传统意义上的那种人间温暖的关怀。我国的中秋节不仅给人们提供了团聚的机会，其意义还包含了关怀、融洽和奉献。我为有幸参加这次中秋聚会，再次表示感谢。

　　On this mostbeautiful moon-lit mid-autumn evening, I'm very glad to be invited to attendyour company's celebration evening party, and share a relaxing and memorableevening with you. We are so busily engaged in our work that we have virtuallylittle time sitting down and talking to each other. I hope this party will givean opportunity to talk to each other freely, and to increase / enhance personalfriendship. In this era of intensive competition, interpersonal relationsbecome increasingly intense. What appears to be lacking are the traditional humanwarmth and care. China's Mid-autumn Festival does not only provide an occasionfor getting together, but also implies opportunities for care, harmony anddedication. I wish to thank you again for your invitation to / giving me theopportunity to attend this mid-autumn evening party.
