今天是中國的大年夜，也是全世界很多人團圓的日子。美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬也趁著這一天向全世界過農(nóng)歷新年的人送上新年的祝福。

Michelle and I send our warmest wishes to Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, the people of Asia, and all those around the world who are celebrating the Lunar New Year.

As people of all cultures and faiths welcome the Year of the Tiger, let us all give thanks for family, the wisdom of our ancestors, and the company of our friends and neighbors.

Here in the United States, the Lunar New Year will be marked by festivals in Houston and lion dances in Los Angeles; parades in Chicago and celebrations large and small in communities across our nation. Americans of Asian descent will continue the rich traditions of the past and begin new ones with their own families. Together, they serve as a reminder of the richness and diversity that make our country great.

So to all those celebrating the Lunar New Year, may you be blessed with peace, prosperity and good health - now and in the year ahead.
