在英文中如何禮貌又不失親切地邀約別人?當別人邀請你時,不論是答應或是婉拒,合宜的回應都相當重要。
Let’s talk的英文老師特地整理出了在英文會話之中,如何邀請別人、以及答應或者婉拒別人邀約的用法。相信你學會之後,也能夠更加的進退得宜。
邀約別人:
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
答應別人的邀約:
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.
也可說”Oh Sure! Thank you.”更為簡潔有力。
婉拒別人的邀請:
1. I’d love to, but I’m afraid I’m busy tonight.
2. I’m terribly sorry. I have other plans.
這個拒絕的方法較能表達你深刻的歉意與惋惜。
3. Thanks for asking, but I’m busy.
拒絕之前先感謝對方體貼地想到你,這裡可把”asking”替換成”inviting”。
