    Accepting an Invitation 接受邀請
    You must have had the experience of giving and receiving invitations. Do you remember the last invitation from a friend? How did you settle the visit with your friend?
    一般說來,你確定接受某個邀請之后,需要跟邀請人確認(rèn)date,time和place三項,并且表達(dá)你的pleasure or gratitude。
    在上面的flash對話中,Liu接受了去Chris家里做客的邀請。下面展示了Liu和Chris之間兩個版本的對話。比較一下這兩個對話有何不同。
    版本一:
    CHRIS: Hi, Liu! How's it going?
    LIU: Fine, thanks. You?
    CHRIS: Can't complain. Listen Liu, I wonder if you would like to come round and have a meal sometime?
    LIU: Yeah, thanks a lot, that would be great!
    CHRIS: What about Saturday evening?
    LIU: Sure, Saturday evening would be fine. What time?
    CHRIS: Let's make it around six. That okay?
    LIU: Great!
    CHRIS: You know where I live, don't you?
    LIU: Yeah. No problem. Thanks very much. I really look forward to that.
    版本二:
    Chris: Hi, Liu! How are you?
    Liu: Fine, thanks. You?
    Chris: Not bad. Listen Liu, I wonder if you would like to come to my home and have a meal sometime?
    Liu: Yeah, thanks a lot, that would be great!
    Chris: Would Saturday evening be fine for you?
    Liu: Sure, Saturday evening would be fine. What time shall we meet then?
    Chris: Let's meet at about six o'clock. Is that okay?
    Liu: Great!
    Chris: You know where I live, don't you?
    Liu: Yeah. No problem. Thanks very much. I really look forward to that.
    看出不同了嗎?版本一適用于相熟的朋友之間,而版本二則適用于正式場合。
    除此之外,我們還應(yīng)該了解西方做客的一個小禮儀:如果你和主人約好一個時間見面,那么你準(zhǔn)時或者推遲5-7分鐘到達(dá)。It is polite in the West to arrive at the time specified or within five or seven minutes after that time. 不要提前到達(dá)哦。主人們正在抓緊最后的時間準(zhǔn)備一切,所以給他們多一些準(zhǔn)備時間吧。
    由此可見,上面對話中when Chris says "Let's make it around six", he actually means "not before six"。
    邀請典型例句:
    I wonder if you would like to come around and have a meal sometime? 不知可否請您來家里吃頓便飯?
    What about Saturday evening? 星期六怎么樣?
    Let's make it around six. 咱們約在六點左右吧。
