在西方，得知朋友訂婚、結(jié)婚、生孩子、升職都要寫信祝賀。祝賀信如同一般的簡短書信，可長可短，格式上無特別的要求，但書寫時應(yīng)做到真誠、自然、親切動人。內(nèi)容上可盡情發(fā)揮。由于在考研英語小作文中有可能會考到這方面的內(nèi)容，所以現(xiàn)在給大家提供這些內(nèi)容以供參考。
1、賀生日 Congratulations on a birthday
Dear Babs：
So you're a year older today —— or don't you want to be reminded？ Anyway， congratulations and best wishes.
If you feel like holding a celebration， will you let me take you to dinner and the movies， as a sort of birthday treat？ You name the day. And in the mealtime， many happy returns！
Cordially，
Tom
親愛的巴博斯：
今天您又大了[一歲]了，您不喜歡別人這樣對你講嗎？但不管怎樣，我得向您祝賀，表示美好的祝愿。
如果您對慶賀有雅興的話，我想請您吃飯，或看電影，作為祝賀您生日的款待。請定個日期，同時，祝您幸福愉快！
2.、祝賀朋友大學(xué)畢業(yè) Congratulations on graduation
Dear Mr. Li：
I learned from Wang Ying that you were graduated with high honors from Huabei University yesterday. I can well imagine how proud of you your parents are now， who have been anxiously hoping to witness your brilliant success. As I understand， you will continue studies in the United States soon. I wish you greater success in your studies and research work.
With best wishes.
Yours sincerely，
Tom
親愛的李先生：
從王英處得悉你以優(yōu)異的成績畢業(yè)于華北清華大學(xué)，我可以想像，你的父母現(xiàn)在是怎樣地引以為榮。他們一直殷切地希望你獲得輝煌的成就。我聽說你不久要到美國去繼續(xù)深造。預(yù)祝你在學(xué)習(xí)和研究工作上取得更大的成就。
3.、祝賀朋友在運動會上獲勝 Congratulations on winning a game
Dear Jerry：
Mother sent me the clippings about your success at the swimming meet. Naturally， I am not surprised at all， but I thought I'd just say “Congratulations” where are going to find room for another silver cup？ Some of our girls may be going up to the Tri-State meet. If the tape unrolls straight， and there I shall expect to see you win again.
When we're all home for Thanksgiving vacation， we'll have to hold a real celebration.
Your one-time swimming rival.
親愛的瑪麗：
媽媽把你在游泳運動會上獲勝的剪報寄給了我。當(dāng)然，我一點也不感到吃驚；但是，我覺得還是應(yīng)當(dāng)向你祝賀。你哪里去找到爭取另一個銀杯的機會呀？
如果能獲得順利批準(zhǔn)，我們當(dāng)中的一些姑娘可能要去參加三州運動會。在那里，我希望能看到你再次獲勝。
你從前的游泳對手
