人们在节日、道别以及朋友、家人外出时，通常会说一些表示祝愿的话。此类场合常有新年祝贺、结婚生子、乔迁发财、得奖出国、考试结束、升学成功等等。如：
Every success in your study! Here's to a happy marriage.(祝你工作顺利，婚姻美满。)
Wish you success! May you success!(祝你成功!)
Please convey my best wishes to Bill.(请向比尔传达我最好的祝愿。)
The best of luck! Best wishes! Best regards!(好运!祝福!)
I drink to your promotion.(我为你的提升干杯!)
Allow me to offer my heartiest wishes.(请允许我向你表示衷心的问候。)
I'd like to be the first to congratulate you.(我想第一个向你表示祝贺。)
Enjoy your vacation!（假日愉快！）
