.Introduction按西方国家的习俗，亲友之间在重大节日要写祝贺信或赠礼物，如圣诞节、新年、婚礼、生日等等。当亲友晋升、考试成功、毕业、乔迁新居、获得工作、新业开张以及获奖等等，也要写祝贺信。祝贺信要写的及时，得到喜讯后应立即动笔。信中要提到具体的喜事，表达出写信人的喜悦心情，并致以衷心的祝贺。总的来说，这类书信只需寥寥数语，但用词必须亲切有礼，表达出真诚的喜悦。2.CommonlyusedSentences常用句型1.WithverybestwishesforahappyNewyear!2.Mayyoucomeintoagoodfortune!3.Wishingyoupeace,joyandhappinessthroughChristmasandthecomingyear.4.Bestwishesforahappybirthdayandayearofgoodluck,goodhealthandhappiness.5.Pleaseacceptmygiftforyourbirthday,notforitsownvalue,butforthesakeofthethoughtsitrepresents.请接受我给你的生日礼物，礼物不在于他本身的价值，而在于它表达了我对你的思念。6.Bestwishesandhopeyouwillhavenothingbutjoyandhappinessinyourlifetogether.7.Mayyoutwoalwaysbeinlove!Mayhappinessincreasewithage.愿你俩永浴爱河，祝你俩幸福与岁俱增！8.Ihopeyournewdwellingwillbringyouandyourfamilyloadsoffortuneandgoodheath.谨祝你的新居将为你全家带来鸿运和安康！9.Congratulationsonyoursuccessinthenationalcollegeentranceexamination.10.Allowmetooffermyheartiestcongratulationsonyournewjob.11.Iwouldliketoaddmycongratulationstothemanyyoumustbereceivingonyourpromotion.在对你晋升的众多的祝贺中再增加我一份，以表贺意。12.Iamlookingforwardtoyourfurtherpromotion.13.Howhappyyoumustbetohaveabeautifulnewbabygirl.14.Iwishyoumanyhappyreturnsoftheanniversary.Mayyouhavelongandjoyfullife.祝你俩享有许多的结婚纪念日。愿你俩白头偕老，生活愉快！15.Iamsendingalongsomeflowersandfruitwithmyloveandmysincerewishforyourspeedyrecovery.16.Howwonderfulitistohearaboutyourbaby!Maythepreciousnewlifeyouhavebroughtintotheworldbringyouaworldofnewjoys.得知你的小宝宝出生,非常高兴。祝你带给这个世界的新生命给你带来无限的幸福。17.Congratulationsonyourrecentpromotion.Iknowthatyouwillmakegoodinyournewjobbecauseyouthriveonresponsibility.祝你荣获提升,你的责任感将为你带来很多的成功!3.Specimen样例SeasonsGreetings祝贺节日DearMr.Hoff,TherearemanythingsIdliketospeakoffriendship,peaceandlove.IdtotellyouhowmuchIappreciateknowingyou.PerhapsthemostmeaningfulwaytosayallthethingsisjusttosayMerryChristmasandHappyNewYear.MayChristmasandtheNewYearbefilledwithhappinessforyouand10)Ihopeyouarenottoobusytocome期望你在百忙中光临。11)Imlookingforwardtoseeingyou.12)Wethoughtitwouldbepleasanttohavesomeofourfriendstocelebrateit.13)Thereceptionwillbeheldin,on招待会定于在举行。14)Wesincerelyhopeyoucanattend.15)Wehavedecidedtohaveapartyinhonoroftheoccasion.为此我们决定举行一次晚会。16)Pleaseletmeknowassoonaspossibleifyoucancomeandtellmewhenyouwillbeabletodoso.如能来的话，早日告我，何时为宜。17)Pleaseconfirmyourparticipationatyourearliestconvenience.是否参加，请早日告之。3.Specimen例文1.InvitationtoaFormalDinner（宴会）1)AletterofinvitationDearMrs.Benton,JohnandIwouldbeveryhappyifyouandMr.BentoncouldcometodinnerwithusonMonday,Maythesecondatsixoclock.WedohopeyoucanJoinus.SincerelyyoursEllenSmith2)AletterofAcceptinganInvitationDearMrs.Smith,ThankyouforinvitingustodinneronMonday,Maythesecond.Wearedelightedtoacceptyourinvitation.Sincerelyyours,LucieBenton3)AletterofDeclininganInvitationDearMrs.Smith,ThankyouforinvitingustodinneronMonday,Maythesecond.IwishIcouldbethere,butIregrettoinformyouthatowingtobeingawayonvacation,weshallnotbeabletocome.Sincerelyyours,LucieBenton2.InvitationtoaWeddingDearAuntKate,DavidandIaretobemarriedattheCommunityChurch(区教堂)onThursday,Junethetwelfth,atnoon.Wewantyoucometotheceremony,andalsototheweddingbreakfast(喜宴)afterwardathome.Wellbeawaitingyourarrival,AuntKate,onthetwelfth!WithloveHelen3.InvitationtoaDanceDearMartha,NextFridayOctoberthefirstisournationalDay,andwethoughtitwouldbepleasanttohavesomeofourfriendsheretocelebrateit.WillyouandTomcome?Wellhavedancingfromsevenuntiltwelve.Wearealllookingforwardtoseeingyou.StudentsofInternationalbusinessSchool4.InvitationtoaReception(招待会）DearMr.Hobson,ItwouldgiveusgreatpleasuretohaveyourpresenceatareceptioninhonoroftheChinesedelegation（中国代表团）.ThereceptionwillbeheldintheCityHall,onTuesday,Octoberthefourth.Cocktails(鸡尾酒会）willbeservedpromptlyatsixtobefollowedbydinnerateight.Wesincerelyhopeyoucanattend.Letusknowassoonaspossibleifyoucancome.
