Today we are gathering in the famous Good Hope Cape,

Whose land is rich in producing grape.

Grapes will brew nutritious wine.

Glasses of wine help you well out fine verses in line.

Verses and performances, you’ll combine.

Your talents in language and movements will shine.

Upon this contest of Fun with Chinese, Good Hope to Realize,

In celebration, we will wine and dine.

 

寄语南非“汉语桥”预赛

                                                    —驻开普敦总领事郝光峰于2009年4月

聚首名胜好望角，

此处盛产甜葡萄。

葡萄酿酒配佳肴，

酒助选手诗兴高。

汉语文艺比翼飞，

才华横溢众英豪。

友人参赛汉语桥，

举杯同庆在今朝。
