Invitation邀 請

遼寧 曲永華

邀請和被邀請是社交活動中經常遇到的事情。邀請所表達的內容很明確，確定了目的、時間、地點、請求回復等事宜。而日常口語中那些隨口說出的話，你千萬別當真，這些話只是結束交談的信號，而并非向你發出邀請；如果拒絕邀請，千萬要把握好你的語氣和方式，不要傷了對方的感情。東方人做事比較拘謹，剛開始時總會推辭、客氣一番，所以在招待客人時也同樣如此。西方人則不同，他們在待人接物上相當直率，所以，如果你向他們發出邀請而被拒絕了，你就不要再說了。

◎經典表達

1.發出邀請時的用語：

①Would you like to...?

②Will you come to...?

③May I invite you to dinner?

④What/How about going swimming?

⑤Shall we...?（邀請對方參加某種活動或詢問對方是否愿意做某事的客氣說法。）

⑥Why not...?（含蓄委婉地向對方發出邀請時的句型。）

2.接受邀請時的用語：

①Yes，I'd love to./Yes，I'd be glad to./I'll be glad to./OK./All right./Lovely./I'd like nothing better.

②Yes，it's/that's very kind of you./Thank you，I'd like to very much./Yes，thank you for having/asking me./Thank you for your kind invitation./With pleasure.（接受邀請的常用答謝語）

③That sounds great(fun).

④I'd like to.Thanks.

⑤That would be nice.

3.拒絕邀請時的用語：

①I'd love to，but...

②No，thank you.

③It's very nice of you，but...
