notes:
appropriate gift
和中國人一樣,在英、美、加等講英語的國家,人們在拜訪朋友或看望親人時,比較重視用禮品表示禮節(jié)但禮品不一定貴重,具有特色就行,這是一條普遍適用的原則。在這一點上,和中國人送禮顯然有些區(qū)別。一般來說,送鮮花、名酒、化妝品、錄音帶或唱片都是很合適的禮品,自己做的果醬、自己養(yǎng)的花、親手做的生日賀卡、親手烤制的食品也都是很好的禮品,而且更有意義。
禮品的價錢不重要,但禮品的包裝很重要。禮品一般以交給女主人為宜。接受禮品時,人們習慣當場打開。要在打開禮品后馬上表示欣賞和感謝,否則就是不禮貌。

sam: great! come any time after seven o'clock.
太好了。七點鐘過后,什么時候都成。

sam: nope. just yourself. i'll give you directions to my house later.
不用了。你自己來就好了。我晚一點再告訴你怎么到我家。
adam: fine.
好的。
sam: i'm glad you can come.
很高興你能來。
adam: thanks. i'm looking forward to it.
謝謝你的邀請,我正期待著那一天呢。
sam: well, i should be going. i'll talk to you later.
那么,我得走了。再聊。
adam: yeah. see you.
好的,回頭見。
notes:
在英美等西方國家,邀請有書面邀請和口頭邀請兩種形式。前者指通過發(fā)送請柬或寫信進行的邀請,后者指打電話或當面以口頭形式進行的邀請。書面邀請比較正式,口頭邀請比較隨便。聽到別人的口頭邀請,千萬不要主動去問“什么時候”或“在什么地方”,除非你確認邀請方不是在應酬你,而是真的想邀請你。
應邀參加聚會或是吃飯的時候,通常應問主人:can i bring anything? 如果是和朋友相聚的非正式場合,主人可能會請客人帶一瓶葡萄酒或幾罐啤酒。
常用句型:
i'm going to play with a group of friends. would you like to join us?
do you want me to bring something?
uh, are you going to be busy this evening?
do you have time to go to...?
how about coming to...?
thanks. that sounds like fun.
thank you. that's very nice of you.
