✔ 最佳答案
Congratulation用on來帶出表示祝賀的事情,但美國的英語也可以用for 來帶出所祝賀的事;所以,它們基本上是沒有分別,如:
Congratuations on/for your great performance!
希望幫到你!

祝賀;恭禧[(+on/upon)]
I congratulate you on your great discovery.
我祝賀你的偉大發現。
I want to congratulate you with all my heart.
我衷心地祝賀你。
2. (後接oneself)自我慶幸[(+on)]
He congratulated himself on having survived the air-crash.
他慶幸自己在空難中倖免於死。
