As with past years, SCIE put on a magnificent Christmas lunch for all staff in the glass-walled table tennis room on the ground floor on December 23, the last day of school in Semester 1, 2008.
　　与过去几年一样，在2008年度第一学期的最后一天，12月23日中午我校在乒乓球室为所有员工准备了丰盛的圣诞聚餐。

　　The food featured roasted turkey and goose, in keeping with Christmas tradition, and many other tasty morsels. Staff enjoyed the food and interaction with one another, many discussing their holiday plans for the two-week long break which started immediately after the lunch. In amongst all the eating and chatting, Mr. Zhu managed to get everyone’s attention and thanked all for their hard work for the first semester and wished them a happy holiday.
　　食物包括按圣诞节习俗必备的烤火鸡和烤鹅，还有一些其它的美味小吃。教职工边享用着美食边互相问候着，聚餐后将是为期两周的圣诞假，大家热烈讨论着自己的假期计划。在一片欢声笑语中，朱院长上台讲话，他感谢了大家在第一学期的辛勤工作，并预祝大家度过一个愉快的假期。

　　Christmas lunch is fast becoming another SCIE tradition which is a nice way to end first half of the year and by which the management express its thanks to all employees for their hard work.　
　　圣诞聚餐已经成为了SCIE的另一项传统，通过这个方式大家愉快地结束第一学期的工作，学校管理层也藉此机会感谢所有教职工的工作。
