主旨：恭賀你被大學錄取

親愛的托馬斯：

恭喜你！我聽奧利弗說，你被哥倫比亞大學錄取，新學期開學就要去那里讀研究生了。這是我這么長時間以來所聽到的最令人激動的消息了。你的夢想終于實現了。我為你實現自己的夢想感到高興。

你被哥倫比亞大學錄取這件事充分地證明，有付出就會有收獲。在過去的4年里，你一直是班里學習最用功的學生。班里所有同學都很欽佩你堅忍不拔的毅力與耐心。我們都認為，你應該取得如此好成績，而且大家都為你感到驕傲。

我相信你在哥倫比亞大學一定也會很優秀。祝你未來一切順利！

此致

學以致用

1. It is the most exciting news I have heard for such a long time.

這是我這么長時間以來所聽到的最令人激動的消息了。

★ 解析：

...is the most exciting news I have heard for such a long time．可以視為習慣用法，表示“……是我這么長時間以來所聽到的最令人激動的消息了”。此句主干是It is the most exciting news，后接省略了引導詞的定語從句I have heard for such a long time。其中多音節形容詞exciting的最高級形式為most exciting。

★ 套用：

Your admittance to the famous university is the most exciting news I have heard for such a long time.

你被這所著名大學錄取，是我這么長時間以來所聽到的最令人激動的消息。

Your winning the first prize is the most exciting news I have heard for such a long time.

2. We hold the opinion that you deserve this good result.

我們都認為，你應該取得如此好成績。

★ 解析：

句首的We hold the opinion that..．可以視為習慣用法，后接賓語從句，表示“我們都認為……”，相當于We think that...、We believe that...、We are of the opinion that...。從句中的deserve后接名詞（詞組）或是不定式結構，表示“值得，應得，應受”。

★ 套用：

We hold the opinion that you deserve a reward for your efforts.

我們都認為，你的積極努力應該得到獎勵。

We hold the opinion that you deserve to be praised.

我們都認為，你應該得到表揚。
