And I wanted to welcome my new Chinese viewers, so I asked the people of China to write to me with a little, teeny, tiny request, and here's what I asked of them.

為了歡迎我新來的中國觀眾，當時我邀請中國的觀眾寫信給我，並附帶了一個小小的，微不足道的請求。以下就是我要求他們做的事情。

I really want to learn more Chinese now. That's, that's my goal.

我真的很想多學點中文。這是我的目標 。

And I wanna personally welcome my new Chinese audience by reading all of your names on the air.

我也會以在電視上唸出觀眾全名的方式來迎接新的中國觀眾。

So all you have to do is write your name on a piece of paper that looks like this...

你只要把名字寫在像這樣的紙上就行了...

And you can send it to this address. "Happy Dance Lady."

然後把它寄到這個地址。寄給「開心跳舞女士」。

Well, out of a billion people, 12 of you actually followed the instructions.

結果呢，十億人口當中有 12 個人還真的遵照這個遊戲規則寄了過來。

So, uh, I wanna read your names on the air. I wanna keep my promise.

因此我要在電視上唸出你們的名字。我得實現我的承諾嘛。

Uh, but if you watch my show, I have a hard enough time pronouncing American names, so luckily, we have an official "Ellen show" Chinese translator standing by at all times.

如果你有在看我的節目的話，就知道我連念美國人的名字都有困難了，更何況中文。不過幸好我們節目有位官方「艾倫秀」 中文翻譯隨時待命。

She's been waiting in a cubicle for 11 seasons, and now it's finally her time to shine.

她已經在小辦公室隔間裡足足待了 11 季，現在終於可以讓她來發揮一下。

「哈囉，艾倫。我是你的大大大粉絲。我好好好愛看你的「艾倫秀」。 我知道你說要我們把賀卡致詞寫在人民幣上是在開玩笑。」
