一、祝贺朋友大学毕业贺信

　　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

　　二、祝贺生日贺信

　　Dear ***:

　　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,

　　***

　　亲爱的***：

　　今天您又大了一岁了，您不喜欢别人这样对你讲吗?但不管怎样，我得向您祝贺，表示美好的祝愿。

　　如果您对庆贺有雅兴的话，我想请您吃饭，或看电影，作为祝贺您生日的款待。请定个日期，同时，祝您幸福愉快!

　　亲爱的李先生：

　　得悉你以优异的成绩毕业于华北清华大学，我可以想像，你的父母现在是怎样地引以为荣。他们一直殷切地希望你获得辉煌的成就。我听说你不久要到美国去继续深造。预祝你在学习和研究工作上取得更大的成就。

　　三、祝贺朋友在运动会上获胜

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.

亲爱的玛丽：

　　妈妈把你在游泳运动会上获胜的剪报寄给了我。当然，我一点也不感到吃惊;但是，我觉得还是应当向你祝贺。你哪里去找到争取另一个银杯的机会呀?

　　如果能获得顺利批准，我们当中的一些姑娘可能要去参加三州运动会。在那里，我希望能看到你再次获胜。
