查看习题详情和答案>>over for a meal, a party, or just for coffee and conversation.
Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home:
"Would you like to come over for dinner on Saturday night?"
"Hey, we're having a party on Friday. Can you come?"
To reply to an invitation (回应邀请), either say thank you and accept (接受) , or say you're sorry
and give an excuse:
"Thanks, I'd love to. What time would you like me to come?" or "Oh, sorry. I've tickets for a movie."
Sometimes, however, people use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not real
invitations. For example:
"Please come over for a drink sometime."
"Why not get together for a party sometime?"
"Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?"
They are really just polite way of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they
don't mention (提到) a specific (确定的) time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be
friendly. To reply to expressions like these, people just say "Sure, that would be great!" or "Yes, thanks."
So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is
the person just being friendly?
B. Because they can spend less money.
C. Because they enjoy entertaining at home.
D. Because they have modern and beautiful houses.
B. Please go to the cinema with me some day.
C. Would you like to have a cup of tea with us sometime?
