你好，新同学

雨气排残暑，风声送早秋。

Vaporing rain dispels the lingering summer, while the breeze heralds early autumn.
 

一场秋雨之后，蝉鸣悄然停歇，刚过立秋之时，迎来了重逢之日。九月一日上午，新老同学齐聚美达菲，带着对未来的憧憬，正式启航新征程。

With an autumnal shower, cicadas surrender their song. As the first hint of autumn dawns, a day of heartfelt reunion unfolds.On a September morn, at MacDuffie, students old and new congregate, their eyes alight with dreams, poised to embark on a novel voyage.

Here, within these academic walls, find your wings, and together, let's craft tales of transcendent journeys.

以梦为马

不负韶华

王东焕校长带领全体师生回顾了一年以来，学校在教育教学各个领域取得的丰硕成果，同时也对师生寄予了新期望：新的学年已拉开帷幕，希望我们所有的在校同学以你们的学长为榜样，几年之后，你们能够取得比他们更优异的成绩!对于普高部的同学，你们是美达菲第一届学生，希望你们能一炮打响，三年后顺利考入国内名校。

Under Principal Wang Donghuan's guidance, we reminisce the school's laudable strides in education over the bygone year. With the dawn of this scholastic era, he envisions each student, inspired by their forerunners, soaring to loftier peaks in the years that beckon. For the vanguards of the Pugao Department, as MacDuffie's inaugural torchbearers, may you illuminate our legacy, and in time, etch your names in the annals of esteemed institutions.

并对所有学生提出三点建议：

And three suggestions for all students:

养成良好的学习习惯，学术永远是第一位的，不管是国内名校还是国外名校，大学招生始终会把你的考试成绩作为录取的第一要素。

Develop good study habits, academicalways take precedence, whether it is renowned institutions at home or prestigious schools abroad, university admissions invariably prioritize your examination scores as the foremost criterion for acceptance.

希望同学们多参加运动，目前学校运动设施齐全，希望每位同学至少参加一项体育运动，并坚持下去。

Engage in sports.. At present, The school boasts a comprehensive range of sports facilities. I encourage every student to immerse themselves in at least one athletic pursuit and maintain their commitment to it.

在活动方面，鼓励每位同学至少参加一至两个社团活动，通过活动发现自己的兴趣，挖掘自身的潜能。总结一句话就是：学习、运动加活动。

Participation in extracurricular activities is pivotal. I urge every student to be involved in at least one or two club activities. Through such engagements, you can uncover your passions and unlock your innate potential. In essence: Balance your academics, athletic pursuits, and extracurricular activities.

最后王东焕校长衷心祝愿大家在新的学年里能够以饱满的热情进行学习和工作，以积极的心态面对困难和挑战，以优异的成绩回报家庭和社会。

Finally, Principal Wang Donghuan wholeheartedly hopes that, in this upcoming academic year, each one of you will approach your studies and responsibilities with unwavering zeal. Confront challenges with an optimistic mindset and reward your families and society with outstanding achievements.
 

我们相信在美达菲，每一次努力都会有收获，每一段拼搏都会与梦想更近一步。

At MacDuffie, we firmly believe that each endeavor will yield its rewards, and every bout of hard work brings you closer to your dreams.
 

定格于开学典礼的美好，是璀璨未来的全新开始。
