干杯的英文怎么說(shuō)?

參加私人或公共社交活動(dòng),不論是婚宴(Wedding party/reception)或是

公司的招待會(huì)(reception),常有舉杯慶祝的機(jī)會(huì),今日我們來(lái)討論「干杯」

的相關(guān)說(shuō)法:

若是要提議舉杯慶祝,可用“propose a toast”一詞;其中“propose”為

提議,是動(dòng)詞,而“toast”是指舉杯慶賀的動(dòng)作(當(dāng)然也可指食物類的土司),

是名詞,例如:

Ladies and gentlemen,I would like to propose a toast.

若要請(qǐng)大家舉杯,也可用動(dòng)詞“raise”,如:

Ladies and gentlemen,please raise your glasses.

若要表明舉杯致意的對(duì)象或慶祝的原因,在“toast”后加上“to”(介系詞),如:

Dear fellow investors,I would like to propose a toast to our

brilliant management team/our harvest year.

(中譯:親愛(ài)的各位投資人,我想提議向我們卓越的管理團(tuán)隊(duì)

舉杯致意/舉杯慶祝我們豐收的一年)

若是要碰杯慶祝,說(shuō)聲「干杯!」,英文則用“cheers”。若要說(shuō)敬某某人,

只要用“to”(介系詞)加上對(duì)象即可,如“to Mr. Johnson/Vanessa/Michael Li”。

若舉杯是要祝福對(duì)方,則可用助動(dòng)詞“May”置于祝詞前,如:

May you enjoy great health!

May your love last forever!

May you have a wonderful marriage!

May you have another prosperous year!

而干杯往往要一飲而盡,在中西方皆然,若要表示一杯見(jiàn)底可用動(dòng)詞

“empty”,如:

Let’s empty this shot and stay drunk tonight.

注:shot(n.)一杯酒
