The English festival, which is popular with all the students, has become part of our school culture. The past 28 years have witnessed the successful host of this annual festival in our school. 

深受学生欢迎的英语节已经成为我们校园文化的一部分。春风得意马蹄疾，在过去的28年里，这个一年一度的节日从未缺席。

Today, we are more than delighted and excited to celebrate the 28th birthday of this conventional festival,whose theme for this year is “Self-confidence Sustains Splendid Culture”.

今天，我们怀揣着激动的心情，迎来了大连市第二十三中学第28届英语节。今年英语节的主题是“ 文化有大美，自信以持之”。

In the five thousand years of civilization history of the Chinese nation, cultural self-confidence has always been an important spiritual pillar of national development. Today, in the face of the impact and integration of diverse cultures in the world, as young people, we need to strengthen our cultural confidence and let it glow more brilliantly under the new historical conditions.

在中华民族五千年的文明史中，文化自信始终是民族发展的重要精神支柱。如今，面对世界多元文化的冲击与融合，作为年轻的我们，更加需要坚定文化自信，让其在新的历史条件下焕发出更加璀璨的光彩。

The English festival may serve as the stage for you to reveal and present your energy and abilities. At this moment, you have the vitality of youth to try all kinds of possibilities in the world. 

英语节会为你们提供展示自己激情和能力的舞台，此时，我们恰逢年少，风华正茂，应用青春的活力尝试世间的种种可能。 

English is not just a language or a subject, but a bond linking us with the outside world. It enables us to get an insight into the charm of other cultures and the exchange of ideas across the globe.

英语不仅仅是一门语言或一门学科，而是连接我们与外部世界的纽带。它使我们能够深入了解其他文化的魅力，还可以在不同学科领域中感受更多思想的碰撞。 

Nowadays, as China plays a dominant role in the international community, Chinese teenagers are endowed with the new responsibility of “telling Chinese stories, spreading Chinese voice”, which represents the time significance of learning English and the original intention of our English festival. 

如今，随着中国在国际社会中占据主导地位，中国青年被赋予了“讲好中国故事，传播中国声音”的新责任，这代表着学习英语的时代意义，也是学校举办英语节的初衷。

The English festival for this year consists of six parts, including the Competition of Dubbing English Films, the English Speech Contest, the English Song Singing Competition, the English Calligraphy Competition, the English Hand-copied Newspaper Competition, and the English Vocabulary Contest, which are intended for you to fully show your talents,while developing a deeper interest in English .

今年的英语节由六个部分组成，包括英语电影配音比赛、英语歌唱比赛，英语演讲比赛，英语书法比赛，英语手抄报比赛和英语百词竞赛。这些活动旨在让同学们充分展示各自的才华，同时培养对英语更深层次的兴趣。

In the previous English festivals, we teachers were always impressed by your stunning talents and amazing performances. And I’m convinced that this year you are bound to bring us more surprises. I truly hope the festival can be of great help to your study and leave some unforgettable memories to us all. 

在过去的英语节上，老师总是欣喜于我们深藏不露的天赋和才艺。相信今年，我们会带着一年级学生的热情和二年级学生的能力，为英语节添彩更多的惊喜。希望这个节日能对我们的学习有很大的帮助，给我们所有人留下一些难忘的回忆。

Lastly, I wish the 28th “English Festival” of Dalian NO.23 Senior High a great success. Thank you!

最后，预祝大连市第二十三中学第28届英语节圆满成功，谢谢大家！
