We’re here today to celebrate a very special occasion. I'm sure everybody will agree with me that Tom has always been a great boss and a great leader. He has also been a good role model and friend. I have never met a person who is as understanding, patient, and sincere as Tom. We have thrown this birthday party not only to celebrate your birthday, but also to express our gratitude for your thoughtful leadership. You have really done a lot for everyone here. So thank you from all of us. Happy birthday, Tom, and many happy returns! 【參考譯文】 今天我們在此慶祝一個非常特別的日子。我相信大家都會同意，湯姆一直是個很 棒的領導和上司，同時也是我們的楷模和朋友。我從來沒有遇見過像湯姆這么體恤他 人、有耐心又真誠的人。 我們舉辦這個生日晚會，不只是要慶祝你的生日，我們還要對你體貼的領導表示 感激。你為在場的每一位都做了很多，我們大家全體感謝你。 生日快樂，湯姆，并祝你福如東海，壽比南山!
