Invitation邀 请

辽宁 曲永华

邀请和被邀请是社交活动中经常遇到的事情。邀请所表达的内容很明确，确定了目的、时间、地点、请求回复等事宜。而日常口语中那些随口说出的话，你千万别当真，这些话只是结束交谈的信号，而并非向你发出邀请；如果拒绝邀请，千万要把握好你的语气和方式，不要伤了对方的感情。东方人做事比较拘谨，刚开始时总会推辞、客气一番，所以在招待客人时也同样如此。西方人则不同，他们在待人接物上相当直率，所以，如果你向他们发出邀请而被拒绝了，你就不要再说了。

◎经典表达

1.发出邀请时的用语：

①Would you like to...?

②Will you come to...?

③May I invite you to dinner?

④What/How about going swimming?

⑤Shall we...?（邀请对方参加某种活动或询问对方是否愿意做某事的客气说法。）

⑥Why not...?（含蓄委婉地向对方发出邀请时的句型。）

2.接受邀请时的用语：

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.（接受邀请的常用答谢语）

③That sounds great(fun).

④I'd like to.Thanks.

⑤That would be nice.

3.拒绝邀请时的用语：

①I'd love to，but...

②No，thank you.

③It's very nice of you，but...
