邀约别人:
1. Would you like to join me for dinner tomorrow?
2. Would you care to join us for dinner?
3. I was just wondering if you would like to come over for dinner tonight?
4. We’d be pleased/delighted/very happy to have you over for dinner tonight
答应别人的邀约:
1. Thank you! I’d love to.
2. Thank you! I’d be delighted to. What time should I be there?
3. Yes, thank you. That would be wonderful/great.
4. Oh certainly! Thank you.
也可说”Oh Sure! Thank you.”更为简洁有力。
婉拒别人的邀请:
1. I’d love to, but I’m afraid I’m busy tonight.
2. I’m terribly sorry. I have other plans.
这个拒绝的方法较能表达你深刻的歉意与惋惜。
3. Thanks for asking, but I’m busy.
拒绝之前先感谢对方体贴地想到你,这里可把”asking”替换成”inviting”。
