Congratulations

相隔25年,香港再次奪得奧運金牌,實在可喜可賀!Congratulations!誠如本身是劍擊教練的前財政司曾俊華所說︰「家朗,多謝你,全香港都以你為榮!」

名詞congratulations解「恭喜」,口語可以用簡寫congrats。正所謂禮多人不怪,記得恭喜別人時,congratulations一定要有-s。例如,"I got the job!" "Congratulations!"(「我得到那份工作!」「恭喜你!」)

如果想說明恭喜甚麼,可以在congratulations後面加上介詞on帶出。例句︰Congratulations on winning the Olympic gold medal!(恭喜獲得奧運金牌!)Congratulations on getting the promotion you really deserved!(恭喜你獲得了你應得的晉升!)

改變字尾,便可以將名詞congratulations變成動詞congratulate,可以用句式congratulate somebody on something或者congratulate somebody for doing something。例句︰He congratulated me warmly on my promotion.(他熱烈祝賀我獲得晉升。)My parents congratulated me for performing so well this morning.(父母祝賀我今早表現得這麼好。)
