Subject: Congratulations on Your Birthday

Dear Olivia,

Your E-mail of yesterday afternoon has given me great delight.

I am sure that you don't want to be reminded that you are a year older today. Anyway, Today is a big day and I should say “Happy Birthday” to you! Time runs really fast. You are 23 years old now. And our friendship has lasted for 12 years. I can still remember the scene when we celebrated your 11 years old birthday with our primary school classmates in the summer camp. Now we all have grown up and have our own career.

What I want to say is that your existence in my life is really a wonderful thing. Please accept my sincere blessing for this important occasion today. As your close friend, I do wish you always be happy and healthy. And I hope that our friendship will last forever and we can slowly grow old together.

Best wishes to your and your family.

Yours faithfully,

Emma

親愛(ài)的奧利維亞：

你昨日下午發(fā)來(lái)的電子郵件讓我極為欣喜。

我確定你并不想要被人提醒說(shuō)自己又長(zhǎng)了一歲。不管怎么說(shuō)，今天都是一個(gè)重要的日子，我要祝你生日快樂(lè)。時(shí)間過(guò)得真快??！你現(xiàn)在都23歲了。我們之間的友誼已經(jīng)有12年之久。我依然記得在夏令營(yíng)和我們的小學(xué)同學(xué)一起為你慶祝11歲生日的情景?，F(xiàn)在我們都已經(jīng)長(zhǎng)大成人，并擁有了自己的事業(yè)。

我想說(shuō)的是，我的生命中有你的存在是一件非常美妙的事。在今天這一重要時(shí)刻，請(qǐng)收下我最誠(chéng)摯的祝福。作為你的好友，我祝愿你永遠(yuǎn)開(kāi)心、健康。我也希望我們的友誼長(zhǎng)存，我們能一起慢慢變老。

向你和家人致以最美好的祝福。

忠誠(chéng)的

艾瑪

★ 解析：

I can still remember the scene when we..．可以視為習(xí)慣用法，表示“我依然記得……的情景”。句中的the scene后接when引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句，而primary school、summer camp可以視為固定用法，分別表示“小學(xué)”“夏令營(yíng)”。
