Australia's quite extensive Vietnamese community today includes a wealth of talented professionals, many of whom are recognized as outstanding in their fields. When we consider that most of them were originally "boat people," as they were known at the time--poor refugees who came to this country in little wooden boats--they are that much more to be admired.
今天，澳洲的越南華裔社區規模甚大，人才濟濟，在社會各階層各專業領域中成就斐然﹔想到他們大多數曾是身無長物的船民、難民，特別令人感佩。
