As I speak to you today I would like to wish you, wherever you may be, a happy Christmas. 
今天我发表讲话,诚心祝愿各位不论身在何处,都有一个快乐的圣诞节。

And though we live in hard and critical times, Christmas is and always will be a time when we can count our blessings. 
尽管我们生活在一段艰难、危机的时代,圣诞节依然是、也总是一个可以捎去祝福的日子。

I myself have every cause of a deep thankfulness for not only by the grace of God, and through the faithful skill my doctors, surgeons and nurses have I come through my illness. 
我自己也深怀感谢之情,不仅是因为上帝的福泽,也因为我的医生、外科医生和护士们拥有的精良医术使我的疾病得以痊愈。

And I have learned once again that it is in bad times that we value most highly the support and sympathy of our friends. 
我再一次地认识到,艰难时刻人们更会珍惜朋友们的支持与同情
