felicitation (n.)

"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]
