　　从美国为轮胎人送来慰问和祝福！

　　All Tech Customers in China：

　　尊敬的泰克中国全体客户：

　　We are very sad to learn that the Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia is spreading across China and that many people are affected – some are even killed by the virus. The devastation of this virus constitutes a major challenge for all of us.

　　新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情正在中国蔓延，许多人受到了影响，有些人不幸离世。病毒的破坏力对我们所有人构成了巨大的挑战。

　　The people of Hubei Province and the city of Wuhan are intelligent, strong, hardworking and resilient people. Tech has deep roots in Hubei province, as Wuhan is the cradle of Tech in China. For in 1988, we started our J.V.  business in Yichang with the 3 Gorge Project. In 1995, as one of the 4 major American companies introduced through the partnership between the “sister states” of Hubei province, China and Ohio in the USA – the home of Tech - we became fully established.

　　在抗击疫情的过程中，湖北省和武汉市人民展现出了智慧、坚强、强韧的精神，众志成城。泰克国际与湖北有不解之缘，武汉是泰克中国的摇篮。1988年，伴随着宜昌的三峡工程，泰克国际开启了轮胎修补合资业务。1995年，经过中美政府的牵头，中国湖北省与美国俄亥俄州结为“姐妹州”。美国俄亥俄州是泰克国际总部所在地，作为俄亥俄州当地的一家重要企业，泰克国际与其他三家企业一起，落地武汉。泰克中国从武汉起步，走向全国。

　　The tire business will likely be impacted to some extent, but as everyone knows tire men and the people of Tech are a hardworking, brave and they are not easily frightened by any challenge or threat - they persevere!

　　因新型冠状病毒肺炎的影响，轮胎及轮胎服务业务将受到不同程度的影响，但众所周知，轮胎人和泰克人是勤劳、勇敢的，从不畏惧任何挑战，不屈不挠，一往无前。

　　I firmly believe by taking good care of yourself and following the guidance of the medical and emergency management experts such as wearing masks, washing hands and avoiding crowds for some time, you will succeed in the battle against the Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia within a short period and we can all return to our normal life.

　　我坚信，通过照顾好自己和家人，遵循医疗专家的专业指导，比如戴口罩，勤洗手，避免去人群聚集处等，轮胎人将会短时间战胜新型冠状病毒肺炎。生活一定很快返回正轨。

　　Please try to make the best of the extended holiday and take good care of your family and yourself. You can trust that Tech will continue to support our customers in Hubei, and in other parts of China as quickly as possible.

　　在延长的春节假期，轮胎人照顾好自己，可以有更多时间陪伴家人。我们坚信，泰克将一如既往为湖北以及全中国的客户，提供快速、便捷、高品质的服务。

　　Best wishes in the new year!

　　恭祝新年快乐！万事如意！生意兴隆！
