英语演讲短文——结婚周年纪念On behalf of all the employees invited tonight, I would like to extend our congratulations to President and Mrs.
Johnson for the twenty-fifth wedding anniversary.Twenty-five years seems like such a long time, especially to a man like me who got married only recently.
I seriously wish I would be able to learn from President and Mrs.
Johnson about the secret of having a happy and enduring marriage.Customarily, a gift of silver is given on the twenty-fifth anniversary.
We observe that custom, and would like to present a pair of silver ‘jeou’ cups to honor your marriage.
with these cups, Im sure your marriage will always be in a high ‘spiritCongratulations, President and Mrs.
Johnson!Notes:1.in a high spirit: 浓郁甘醇2.a silver ‘jeou cup 银酒杯3.在这种纪念典礼上几乎多半祝贺当事者婚姻的“漫长”和“久远”,不过切忌使用“long”或“old”之类的字眼。尤其在崇尚“年轻”文化的欧美,“old”属负面形象。因以“enduring”(持久)等词来为“老旧”的婚姻事实赋予光明的形象。
