岁末年初，跨国企业老板们的内部沟通邮件/Yammer post/领英文章里肯定少不了新年贺词。根据我近些年来的观察/操刀/编辑经验，如下几个常见“套路”可以让你起草的英文贺词事半功倍。
01
用Holidays保险
以前不是流行说Merry Christmas and Happy New Year么， 最近情况悄悄咪在发生着变化～
特别是针对一个区域性，甚至全球性的组织的内部沟通，CEO用Holidays来泛指比较保险——毕竟并不是每个人都庆祝圣诞节，而这一点在如今文明冲突的新时代里（想一下此刻世界发生的冲突）更为重要。
所以，Happy Holidays节日快乐可以有效囊括了光明节、圣诞节、公历新年等各类节日。
如果一定要特定到Christmas或者某个节日, 这个句型合适：For those who celebrate, Merry Christmas!
02
到年底了，怎么说？
-When we look back on 2023...
-Reflecting on what we achieved in 2023...
-As we close out 2023...
-As 2023 comes to an end...
03
建议员工彻底“休息”，多用这些词
CEO们很喜欢在邮件里用这些高频词：
Discharge/Disconnect/Unplug/Step back/Recharge...
虽然咱也不知道CEO们是否其实都在暗自工作...但是！反正我自己是信奉这个观点：凡事都是讲求效率的——休息效率不高的人，工作效率也不会太高。因此想要充分休息，就要和外界纷扰“切断”得彻底。
一些惯用的句式比如：
-I encourage each of you to take this holiday season to recharge your spirits and disconnect from the daily hustle…
-Let us use this festive time to disconnect from our inboxes and reconnect with what truly matters-health, family, friends…
-The holidays are a perfect time to unplug from the daily grind and recharge our inner batteries.
-Disconnect from the whirlwind of work, indulge in the joys of the season...
-I am looking forward to taking time during the holidays to unplug, and I strongly encourage you to do the same.
04
押头韵永远好用
祝福语本质上也是一种艺术性创作嘛，我此前讲过无数次老外真的很爱alliteration （押头韵）：
-Delight in the bright and blissful moments of togetherness this holiday season...
-Enjoy the cozy and candlelit evenings…
-Savor the sweet, special, and serene moments…
-I hope you seize this opportunity to relax, rejuvenate, and return in the new year with renewed energy…
05
花式感谢
礼多人不怪，直接上干货：
-On the subject of gratitude…I am grateful that…
-Heartfelt thanks to each of you for your exceptional efforts…
-Immense gratitude for your passion and perseverance that fuel our journey.
-Your hard work, creativity and resilience have shaped our success – thank you, team!
06
家和万事兴
合家欢永远是万能主题。一家人在一起能干啥呢？基本就是做饭，旅行，或者享受难得的亲子时光，基本不会出错。几个好用例子比如：
-Join hands in the kitchen, where family recipes and new traditions mix with love and joy...
-Venture out for a snowy walk, turning crisp winter air into warm family moments...
-We unwrap presents together...
-Cherish cozy evenings, with board games and hot cocoa...
-I will be celebrating at home with my family, taking in a few books, avoiding XX airport, and making our favorite family recipes of the season together.
-I anticipate a lot of good cooking, reading, hiking, tennis and and I wish you all the things that fill your cup.
上述只是一些常见套路，用于承上启下或者无米之炊的时候救急使用。毕竟，最走心的祝福还是要有更为实质性的内容承托才能更有分量。
预祝大家节日快乐哈！
