"祝福他人幸福或好运的赞美表达",1709年,动作名词,源自 felicitate。相关词汇: Felicitations。
Congratulation, like its verb congratulate, implies an actual feeling of pleasure in another's happiness or good fortune; while felicitation (with felicitate) rather refers to the expression on our part of a belief that the other is fortunate, felicitations being complimentary expressions intended to make the fortunate person well pleased with himself. [Century Dictionary]
Congratulation,就像它的动词 congratulate 一样,意味着对他人的幸福或好运的实际愉悦感; 而 felicitation(与 felicitate 一起使用)则更多地指我们表达的信念,即对方是幸运的,祝福是旨在使幸运的人感到满意的赞美表达。[世纪词典]
