再过几个小时，新年的钟声就要敲响了。我们即将告别2015年，迎来2016年的第一缕阳光。在这辞旧迎新的时刻，我向全国各族人民，向香港特别行政区同胞和澳门特别行政区同胞，向台湾同胞和海外侨胞，向世界各国和各地区的朋友们，致以新年的祝福！

In a few hours, the New Year bell will be ringing. We will say goodbye to the year 2015 and welcome the first ray of sunshine of the year 2016. At this turn of the year, I wish to extend my New Year greetings to the people of all ethnic groups in China, to our compatriots in the Hong Kong special administrative region and the Macao Special Administrative region, to our compatriots in Taiwan and overseas Chinese, as well as to friends in other countries and regions in the world.
有付出，就会有收获。2015年，中国人民付出了很多，也收获了很多。我国经济增长继续居于世界前列，改革全面发力，司法体制改革继续深化，“三严三实”专题教育推动了政治生态改善，反腐败斗争深入进行。经过全国各族人民共同努力，“十二五”规划圆满收官，广大人民群众有了更多获得感。
As long as we pay, there will be gains. In 2015, the great efforts of the Chinese people have paid off. China's economic growth continues to lead in the world. Reform has been pushed forward comprehensively. Reform in the judicial system has been further deepened. The special educational campaign of "Three Stricts and Three Earnest" has prompted the improvement of the political eco-system. The fight against corruption has been carried out deeply. Through the joint efforts of the people of all ethnic groups across the country, we see a successful conclusion of the 12th Five-Year Plan. The general public has enjoyed the increasing "sense of gain".
这一年，我们隆重纪念了中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利70周年，举行了盛大阅兵，昭示了正义必胜、和平必胜、人民必胜的真理。我们全面实施改革强军战略，宣布裁军30万。我和马英九先生在新加坡会面，实现了跨越66年时空的握手，表明两岸关系和平发展是两岸同胞的共同心愿。
During this year, we solemnly commemorated the 70th anniversary of the Victory of the Chinese people's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. We held a grand military parade, marking the truth clear to all that justice will prevail, peace will prevail and the people will prevail. We will comprehensively implement the reform strategy to strengthen China's military and we announced China will cut the number of its troops by 300 thousand. Mr. MA and I met in Singapore with a handshake that transcended 66 years of time and space. This shows the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations is the shared wish of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
这一年，北京获得第24届冬奥会举办权，人民币纳入国际货币基金组织特别提款权货币篮子，我国自主研制的C919大型客机总装下线，中国超级计算机破世界纪录蝉联“六连冠”，我国科学家研制的暗物质探测卫星发射升空，屠呦呦成为我国首位获得诺贝尔奖的科学家……这说明，只要坚持，梦想总是可以实现的。
During the past year, Beijing won the bid to host the 24th Winter Olympic Games. The RMB has been included into the Special Drawing Rights basket of the International Monetary Fund. China's domestically-produced C919 large passenger aircraft rolled off the production line. China's super computer broke the world record for a sixth consecutive year. A satellite developed by Chinese scientists to detect "dark matter" was launched. Tu Youyou became China's first scientist to win a Nobel Prize. These show that as long as we preserve, dreams can always be realized.
这一年，我们有欣喜，也有悲伤。“东方之星”号客轮翻沉、天津港特别重大火灾爆炸、深圳滑坡等事故造成不少同胞失去了生命，还有我们的同胞被恐怖分子残忍杀害，令人深感痛心。我们怀念他们，愿逝者安息、生者安康！群众的生活中还有一些困难和烦恼。党和政府一定会继续努力，切实保障人民生命财产安全、保障人民生活改善、保障人民身体健康。
During the past year, we had happiness as well as sadness. The capsizing of the Eastern Star ferry, the major fire and explosions at Tianjin Port, the Shenzhen landslide and other accidents have taken the lives of many our countrymen. Some countrymen were brutally killed by terrorists. All these are deeply heartbreaking. We will remember them. We wish the deceased to rest in peace and the living safe and healthy. Some difficulties and troubled still remain in people's daily life. The CPC and the government will surely continue efforts to effectively guarantee the safety of people's lives and property, guarantee the improvement of People’s livelihood, and guarantee people's health.
2016年是我国进入全面建成小康社会决胜阶段的开局之年。中共十八届五中全会明确了未来5年我国发展的方向。前景令人鼓舞、催人奋进，但幸福不会从天降。我们要树立必胜信念、继续埋头苦干，贯彻创新、协调、绿色、开放、共享的发展理念，着力推进结构性改革，着力推进改革开放，着力促进社会公平正义，着力营造政治上的绿水青山，为全面建成小康社会决胜阶段开好局、起好步。
全面建成小康社会，13亿人要携手前进。让几千万农村贫困人口生活好起来，是我心中的牵挂。我们吹响了打赢扶贫攻坚战的号角，全党全国要勠力同心，着力补齐这块短板，确保农村所有贫困人口如期摆脱贫困。对所有困难群众，我们都要关爱，让他们从内心感受到温暖。
我们只有一个地球，这是各国人民共同的家园。这一年，我国领导人参加了不少国际会议，开展了不少外交活动，推动“一带一路”建设取得实质性进展，参与了联合国2030年可持续发展议程、应对全球气候变化等国际事务。世界那么大，问题那么多，国际社会期待听到中国声音、看到中国方案，中国不能缺席。面对身陷苦难和战火的人们，我们要有悲悯和同情，更要有责任和行动。中国将永远向世界敞开怀抱，也将尽己所能向面临困境的人们伸出援手，让我们的“朋友圈”越来越大。
我衷心希望，国际社会共同努力，多一份平和，多一份合作，变对抗为合作，化干戈为玉帛，共同构建各国人民共有共享的人类命运共同体。
