We'd all like to congratulate you on your achievement.
對(duì)話

蓓琪：你跑了多少公里？
喬：跑了全程，四十公里多一點(diǎn)。
蓓琪：那幫我們的慈善組織籌得多少錢？
喬：大概有二千五百元。大家都很熱心地慷慨支持。
蓓琪：你表現(xiàn)這么出色，我們都覺得可喜可賀。
喬：能為一件善事出一點(diǎn)力，我就很高興了。
Congratulate一字，中文一般譯做‘祝賀’，但‘?！小硎緦?duì)人、事的美好愿望’含義，congratulate卻不會(huì)用來表示對(duì)未來的愿望。Congratulate一般用來表示慶賀人家的成就。所以，祝賀某人生日，不可說We congratulated him on his birthday，更不可說We congratulated his birthday，應(yīng)說We celebrated his birthday。祝人家新年快樂，也不可說May I congratulate you on a happy New Year，應(yīng)說May I wish you a happy New Year等等。大學(xué)畢業(yè)、結(jié)婚、工作上獲得升遷、比賽勝利等，則都是努力的成果，那就可用congratulate或congratulations來說，例如：Let me congratulate you on your graduation/Allow me to express my congratulations on your graduation（恭喜你大學(xué)畢業(yè)）。蓓琪代表慈善機(jī)構(gòu)向喬致意，用語是很正式的：We'd all like to congratulate you on your achievement。她還可以說We must congratulate you on your achievement、Please accept our sincere/warm/hearty congratulations on your achievement之類。假如不必拘禮，則當(dāng)然可以改用簡單一些的說話，例如：Congratulations!、Many congratulations on your achievement!、Super!/Fantastic!/Wonderful!（好極了?。ell done!（做得好?。┑?。Congratulations或congratulate之后，宜用on帶出值得慶賀的事物。也有人用for或at，但嚴(yán)格的學(xué)者會(huì)認(rèn)為Let me congratulate you for your achievement之類說法不正確。
