商业演讲之祝贺升迁

Congratulations， Mr. Hoffman， on your promotion to the managing director of the personnel department. Under your directorship， I am sure the department will grow even stronger and more closely united.

Also， I want to take this opportunity to thank you for being our section director. Needless to say， You have always been a great boss， and I'm sure you will make even a greater director in the personnel department.

2.为对同事的升迁

I want to say congratulations to you， Jim， for your promotion to sales manager. You have been a great colleague as well as a good friend. And I am proud of you.

Good luck， Jim， and come drop by our office any time.

这是相当“敏感的”演说。无论上司也好同事也罢，我们对于别人的晋升难免总会有几分“嫉妒”（ENVY）的心情。当然这种心情一旦暴露出来，演说就垮了。诸如“这次的晋升对您来说实至名归”（a promotion you richly deserve）这类赞美之辞乃属必要。

NOTES：

directorship ，领导

section director ， 课长

colleague ， 同事

come drop by， 过来玩

needless to say 不用说
