英語(yǔ)演講短文——結(jié)婚(wedding)

on behalf of president xu who could not attend today, i would like to first express our cordial gratitude to you for inviting us to this wonderful wedding reception. also, i would like to extend our warmest congratulations to the newly weds, mr. and mrs. brown.

i happen to know the groom, mr. john brown quite well, through our business dealings between his company and mine. i believe mr. brown is by far the most competent and efficient businessman i have ever met. obviously, his competence and efficiency even outside of his profession have also been proved, from the fact that he has today married such a beautiful and intelligent bride. mr. brown, with your youth and talent, i am sure that you will have a very happy married life.

let me say congratulations again to you both, and i hope you will not work too hard and leave your wife alone too often.

congratulations!

由于是正式的場(chǎng)合，所以選擇稍顯夸張的用詞，比較能夠?yàn)檎麄€(gè)演說(shuō)增添一絲情趣。不妨加入一些襯托新人優(yōu)點(diǎn)與魅力的插曲。然而切忌趁機(jī)“華眾取寵”，過(guò)于隱私性的插曲只會(huì)使人掃興。
