PART 3 - The Lesson
INVITATIONS 邀請(qǐng)
1. INVITING 發(fā)出邀請(qǐng)
向別人發(fā)出邀請(qǐng)時(shí),首先要了解人家是否有空.可以這樣問(wèn):
Are you doing anything next Monday?
Are you free on Monday?
What are you doing on Monday?
Have you got anything on on Monday?
如果人家有空,我們接著就可以發(fā)出邀請(qǐng).一種比較客氣的說(shuō)法是:
I was wondering IF ...
you'd like to go to the beach on Saturday.
you'd be able to come to dinner on Saturday.
you can come to dinner on Saturday.
you could come to dinner on Saturday.
當(dāng)然,我們也可以直接問(wèn)對(duì)方:
Would you like to come to dinner?
Can you come to dinner on Saturday?
What about coming to dinner?
How about coming to dinner?
2. ACCEPTING 接受邀請(qǐng)
如果接受邀請(qǐng),就可以說(shuō):
Thanks.或That'd be great.
也可以用其他的說(shuō)法來(lái)回答,例如:
Would you like to come to dinner?
- Yes, I would!
How about coming to dinner?
- I'd love to come.
What about coming to dinner?
- Yes,O.K. Thanks for inviting us.
3. DECLINING 謝絕邀請(qǐng)
如果不能接受邀請(qǐng),通常先表示非常愿意來(lái),可以說(shuō):
I'd love to come/I'd like to come...
然后表示謝絕,往往開(kāi)頭用BUT例如:
BUT I'm afraid I can't.
這樣,整個(gè)句子就可以說(shuō):
I'd love to come BUT I'm afraid I can't 或I'd like to come BUT I'm afraid I can't.
如果不能接受邀請(qǐng),往往要說(shuō)明理由,可以這樣說(shuō):
I'd love to come BUT ...
I've got something on.
I'm going to a concert.
I don't feel the best.
4. HESITATING 一時(shí)不能決定
有時(shí)不能肯定接受還是不接受邀請(qǐng),比如自己也不知道有沒(méi)有空,就可以說(shuō):
I'd love to come but I'm not sure if I'll be free.
如果你想確定以后再通知對(duì)方,就可以說(shuō):
Can I let you know later?
5. PERSISTING IN THE INVITATION 進(jìn)一步邀請(qǐng)
如果客人不能接受邀請(qǐng),我們還可以進(jìn)一步表示希望他來(lái):
Please try to come.
Are you sure you can't come?
6. DETAILS OF THE INVITATION 其他有關(guān)的細(xì)節(jié)
接受邀請(qǐng)以后,就需要討論細(xì)節(jié),如時(shí)間,地點(diǎn)等. 關(guān)于時(shí)間,主人可以主動(dòng)的說(shuō):
Come about 6.
如果主人沒(méi)說(shuō),客人就可以問(wèn):
What time would you like us to come?
如果應(yīng)邀參加的活動(dòng)并非十分正式,例如烤肉野餐,客人還可以問(wèn):
Can I bring anything?
意思是:我要不要帶點(diǎn)兒食品或飲料?
注意:
*在澳大利亞人的口語(yǔ)里,"晚飯"往往不叫dinner,而叫tea.Tea用在這個(gè)場(chǎng)合,當(dāng)然就不是指一杯茶了.
*invite someone 這個(gè)說(shuō)法,后面可以跟to 名詞,例如:
I want to invite you TO a party/ my place/ dinner
也可以跟其他附加語(yǔ),例如:
I want to invite her...
out 出去玩
round 到我這兒來(lái)
over 到我這兒來(lái)
home 到我家來(lái)
