in canada and the united states,任務(wù)閱讀
In Canada and the United States,people enjoy entertaining (請(qǐng)客) at home.They often invite friends
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 (回應(yīng)邀請(qǐng)),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 (確定的) 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?
