今天是我和我太太结婚🎎一周年纪念日。手动翻译了下一年前青岛婚宴上的演说词。
Today marks the one year anniversary of our marriage. I translated the wedding speech I gave in the banquet in Qingdao, to remind myself :)
并且搭建好了这个网站，送给我夫人。
Also built this website as a gift to my wife.

Firstly, I would like to thank my father-in-law for his sincere and candid speech.
Secondly, I’d like to express my gratitude to all of Li’s relatives, who have made a lot of efforts in the processes of our marriage registration, wedding photos, and today’s wedding banquet. Because I worked and lived in the United States, I wasn’t able to participate in any of these process. Therefore, I am really grateful for your help.
Meanwhile, Li and I would like to also thank each of you for taking time to attend this wedding banquet.
Being able to give a speech here as the groom, I should express my deep thanks to Li’s parents. Thank you both for bringing Li up with all your hearts so that she becomes the lady that I have married today. I would also like to thank you both for allowing me to marry your beautiful daughter. Thank you both for your trust on me and I will fulfill my promise to love her.
Of course, I should give my special thanks to my wife Li, who is very pretty, kind, tender, and adorable. Thank Li for having a great faith and courage to have married me, and willing to live with me overseas in the United States. There is a verse in the Bible saying Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Although we could not experience the future now, I promise with faith that I will strive to give my wife a peaceful, joyful and colorful life.
From now on, Li and I legally formed a new family. In regard of a family, there is an English idiom describing a man in a household, saying “Every man wants to change the world, but nobody would like to wash dishes” (中译：每个男人都有改变世界的雄心，然而没有几个男人愿意洗碗). But in my opinion, a person who is trustworthy in little things can also be trustworthy in great ones. I personally may not be able to do something to change this world, but I would be willing to wash dishes with joy in our family.
At the end, Li and I would like to again thank you all for coming. And now let us drink a toast to enjoy this great day!
Thank you all!

首先，感谢我的 岳父大人 诚挚而真切的致辞。
再者，感谢荆黎的 各位亲人们 为我们的婚姻登记、婚纱摄影、以及这个答谢婚宴所 付出的辛苦努力。由于我身在海外，每一个过程我都未能 实地参与，在此，非常谢谢各位亲人们的鼎力相助。
这里，我和荆黎也非常谢谢每一位来宾，在百忙之中，来参加我们的答谢婚宴。
能以 新郎 的身份在这个讲台上发言，我要十分感谢 荆黎 的 父亲母亲。感谢两位长辈这么多年来对 荆黎 的 养育之恩，对她的 精心栽培。也十分谢谢两位长辈愿意将女儿托付给在下。我绝不辜负两位长辈的信任。
当然，我也特别感谢我的妻子 美丽、善良、温柔、贤淑的 荆黎 小姐， 感谢她 以极大的 信心和勇气 嫁给在下，并愿意与我一道，体验漂洋过海的生活。圣经上有句话说，信就是所望之事的实底，是未见之事的确据。我们虽然无法在当下就亲身体验未来，但我有信心展望，我可以给夫人一个平安喜乐、多姿多彩的生活，并将为此蓝图而努力奋斗。
从今时起，我和荆黎就组成了一个新的家庭。英文中有句谚语是如此描述家庭里的男人： Every man wants to change the world, but nobody would like to wash dishes. 意思是说 每个男人都有改变世界的雄心，然而没有几个男人愿意洗碗。但在我看来，一个人在小事情上忠心，将来才会在大事上忠心。我个人 不一定能做什么改变世界之事，但我很乐意好好地洗碗。
最后，荆黎和我再次感谢每一位嘉宾的光临，让我们 一同举杯 ，共享 今日的喜悦 。
谢谢大家！
