商業(yè)演講之祝賀升遷
    1.為對上司的祝賀
    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.為對同事的升遷
    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.
    這是相當(dāng)“敏感的”演說。無論上司也好同事也罷，我們對于別人的晉升難免總會有幾分“嫉妒”（ENVY）的心情。當(dāng)然這種心情一旦暴露出來，演說就垮了。諸如“這次的晉升對您來說實至名歸”（a promotion you richly deserve）這類贊美之辭乃屬必要。
