It’s almost time for me to say goodbye to Australia.

差不多是我跟澳大利亚说再见的时候了。

I’ve enjoyed my time here very much.

我在这里过得十分愉快。

After being here for a while, my biggest impression is the complicated mix of peoples and cultures that make up the nation.

在这里住了一段时间之后，我最深刻的印象就是不同种族和文化的交融构成了这个国家。

Although the main cultural influence since 1788 has been Western culture, minority cultures have also played a part in shaping the unique Australian culture, with many of the new cultural influences contributed by immigrants.

尽管自1788年以来，主要的文化影响是西方文化，但少数族裔文化在塑造独特的澳大利亚文化方面也发挥了作用，还有许多随着移民而来的新文化的影响。

It is said that now nearly half of all Australian citizens were either born overseas or have parents who were born overseas.

据说现在近一半的澳大利亚公民要么自己出生于海外，要么父母出生于海外。

Personally speaking, what I like most about Australia is the people themselves.

对我个人来说，澳大利亚让我最喜欢的就是这里的人民。

They have a straightforward and free‑and‑easy attitude towards life, and their friendliness and warmth made me feel at home wherever I went.

他们对待生活的态度简单直率、随性洒脱，他们的友善和热情让我无论走到哪里都有宾至如归的感觉。

After experiencing Australia, I have to say that I agree with the tourism slogan: “There’s nothing like Australia.”

在游历了澳大利亚之后，我得说我十分赞同他们的旅游口号：“澳大利亚，尽是不同。”
