Subject: Congratulations on Your Winning the Prize

Dear Isabella,

Congratulations! I couldn't be so happier to hear that you have got the first prize of Young Designers Competition this year. All of our friends are proud of you for your talent in and enthusiasm for the apparel design. Even though you have not received any professional training in this field, you made even greater achievement than those who have.

Now I understand that interest is the best teacher. All the efforts and time you spent on apparel design is worthwhile. You realized your value on it and also got happiness and satisfaction from it. Those are what really matters.

I hope you can insist on your original intention in the days to come. And I wish you would create better works. Congratulations again!

Faithfully yours,

Charlotte

主旨：獲獎(jiǎng)祝賀

親愛(ài)的伊莎貝拉：

祝賀你！聽(tīng)說(shuō)你在今年的青年設(shè)計(jì)師設(shè)計(jì)大賽上獲得了第一名，我高興不已。我們所有朋友都為你在服裝設(shè)計(jì)上的才能和對(duì)服裝設(shè)計(jì)的熱愛(ài)感到驕傲。盡管你并沒(méi)有接受過(guò)這方面的專(zhuān)業(yè)學(xué)習(xí)，你取得的成就卻比那些科班出身的人還要輝煌。

現(xiàn)在我明白了，興趣是最好的老師。你在服裝設(shè)計(jì)上花費(fèi)的所有精力和時(shí)間都是值得的。你在這里實(shí)現(xiàn)了自己的價(jià)值，并從中收獲了開(kāi)心與滿(mǎn)足感。這些才是最重要的。

我希望你今后可以堅(jiān)持自己的初心。也祝愿你能創(chuàng)作出更優(yōu)秀的作品。再次向你表示祝賀！

忠誠(chéng)的

夏洛特

學(xué)以致用

1. I couldn't be so happier to hear that you have got the first prize of Young Designers Competition this year.

聽(tīng)說(shuō)你在今年的青年設(shè)計(jì)師設(shè)計(jì)大賽上獲得了第一名，我高興不已。

★ 解析：

句首的I couldn't be so happier to hear that.．可以視為習(xí)慣用法，表示“聽(tīng)說(shuō)……我高興不已”。句中的get the first prize表示“獲得第一名”，相當(dāng)于win (the) first prize、come first in...。

★ 套用：

I couldn't be so happier to hear that you came first in the poetry competition.

聽(tīng)說(shuō)你在詩(shī)歌比賽中取得了第一名，我高興不已。

I couldn't be so happier to hear that you were awarded a medal for your contribution to the company.

2. I hope you can insist on your original intention in the days to come.

我希望你今后可以堅(jiān)持自己的初心。

★ 解析：

句首的I hope you can...in the days to come．可以視為習(xí)慣用法，表示“我希望你今后可以……”。其中的I hope..．后可以接省略了引導(dǎo)詞that的賓語(yǔ)從句，表示“我希望……”，相當(dāng)于I wish...、I expect...、I anticipate...。句末的in the days to come可以視為固定用法，表示“今后，將來(lái)，在未來(lái)的日子里”。

★ 套用：

I hope you can achieve greater success in the days to come.

我希望你今后可以取得更大的成就。

I hope you can make greater achievements in the days to come.

我希望你今后可以取得更大的成就。

I hope you can work harder in the days to come.
