有關(guān)邀請與約會的英語口語

字號:

邀請與約會是英語口語中最常用的,也是人與人之間交往和商務(wù)往來必須的一個步驟。我們今天要學(xué)習(xí)一下有關(guān)邀請與約會的英語口語:
    一、關(guān)于邀請
    【邀請用語】
    1. Would you like to come to my birthday party / to go for a walk / to attend our wedding?
    2. Let‘s go for a walk.
    3. Do you want to join us in the game?
    4. Why don‘t you come on a holiday with us?
    5. Would you be able to drop in on us for a chat this evening?
    6. Shall we have a drink at this restaurant?
    7. Come to dinner with us. / May I invite you to dinner?
    8. What / How about having a swim?
    9. I was wondering if you‘d like to come to the party we are having on Sunday.
    10. Joe and I will throw a dinner party this weekend. I hope you can come.
    【對邀請的應(yīng)答】
    1. 接受邀請:
    ①OK. / Yes. / Certainly. / Sure. Thank you.
    ②Yes, I‘d like to / I’m glad to. / I‘d like that, thanks.
    ③That would be wonderful / very nice. / That sounds a very good idea.
    ④I‘d love to come. Thank you for inviting me / asking me / your invitation.
    ⑤It‘s very kind of you. Thank you.
    ⑥It would give us great pleasure to enjoy Christmas with you. / We‘d like to have dinner with you. That would give me the greatest pleasure.
    2. 拒絕邀請:
    ①No, thank you.
    ②What a pity! I’m afraid I can’t, but thank you all the same.
    ③I’m sorry I can’t. What about another time?
    ④I’d love to, but my mother is ill. / I’m afraid I have no time.
    注意:
     不管對于哪一種邀請,被邀請者都應(yīng)做出接受或拒絕的明確答復(fù),形式可以不一,但切忌簡單地說一聲thank you,因?yàn)閠hank you并不能表明是否接受。
    二、關(guān)于約會
    【提出約會】
    1. Will you be free tomorrow? / Do you have time this afternoon?
    2. What time is convenient for you?
    3. I’m here to make an appointment with President Hulls for an hour sometime tomorrow morning. / I’d like to make an appointment with Mr. Jones.
