First of all, I’ll pay my appreciation to 7 Division Governors for their support to nominate candidates. 3 Divisions are too humble to nominate their candidates. WE expect all Divisions must nominate their candidates to recognize officers and members’ achievement in the future
首先，我們要感謝七位部總監的支持並提名其候選人。但仍有三個部客氣而未為該部擧才。我們期待在未來，不要計較最後是否入選，每個分部都能提名最佳人選，以表揚其會員及幹部對總會的貢獻之成就。 

Basically, the winners are fulfilled the requirements—whose dedication, commitment and efforts significantly contributed towards achieving the District mission. Hence, our decision is according to the final report of Distinguished Division and Area from WHQ and reviewing the Toastmaster who have contributed to reach the mission of District.
基本上，獲選者都要達到基本的要求--即他或她們的熱心，獻身及努力都對達成總會的任務有重大的貢獻。因此，我們是依據世界總會公佈的傑出部及傑出區報告，作為審核年度部總監及區總監的依據。而年度會員則考核該會員是否達到對總會的貢獻程度來決定。 

Actually, all of the candidates are qualified and reach the basic requirement, but due to the limitation of the Awards, we can choose three of the best to be our winners every year.
其實，所有被提名的候選人，都足够資格並達到所有的要求，但由於僧多粥少，只能選出少數幾位最優者。因此，難免有餘珠之憾，尚請諒解。 

Final, please accept our congratulations and appreciation to all of the candidates and winners fortheir contribution and dedication to Toastmasters and our District. Their excellent performance will be the role model of our followers.
最後，由於所有的侯選者及入選者都對本地區總會有非常傑出的奉獻，我僅代表全體會員及幹部，向他們表達最高的謝意及祝賀。也盼望他們的傑出表現成為大家的追隨典範！ 

Soar to a New Height!
展翅飛揚，再創高峰! 

Best
祝事事順利，身體健康!
