often invite friends to come over for a meal, a party, or just for coffee and a
conversation.
Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their
home:
"Would you like to come over for dinner this Saturday night?"
"Hey, we're having a party on Friday. Can you come?"
To reply to an invitation, either say thank you and accept, 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 to 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 don't you come over and see us sometime soon?"
They are really just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real
invitations because they don't mention 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 "OK. / 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?
D. I've two tickets here. Can you go to the concert with me tonight?
B. How about this weekend?
C. Oh, sorry. I'm very busy.
D. That's great. I'll be there on time.
B. they're trying to be helpful
C. they're trying to make friends
D. they're trying to be useful
B. real invitations or not
C. expressions of starting a conversation
D. ways of ending a conversation
A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?” he asked.
Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…”He hesitated.
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”
“Oh yes, I’d love that.”
After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it …then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.
