　　一、邀请与你牵手
<br>
<br>　　西方人的邀请一般比较慎重，他们一般不随便邀请别人到家里做客，也不轻易许诺邀请，一旦他们提出比较郑重的邀请，被邀请者则必须作出明确的答复。
<br>
<br>　　[邀请的艺术]
<br>
<br>　　表示邀请的常用句式有：
<br>
<br>　　1. Would you like to...？你愿意……吗？如：
<br>
<br>　　Would you like to come to my birthday party? 你愿意来参加我的生日聚会吗？
<br>
<br>　　Would you like to go to the zoo with me? 你愿意和我一起去动物园吗？
<br>
<br>　　2. I hope you can...我希望你能……。如：
<br>
<br>　　I hope you can come to my birthday party next Sunday. 我希望你能来参加下周日我的生日聚会。
<br>
<br>　　I hope you can go to the cinema with us. 我希望你能和我们一起去看电影。
<br>
<br>　　3. I'd / We'd like to invite....我/我们想邀请……。如：
<br>
<br>　　I'd like to invite you to my birthday party. 我想邀请你来参加我的生日聚会。
<br>
<br>　　We'd like to invite you to go shopping with us. 我们想邀请你和我们一起去买东西。
<br>
<br>　　4. Will you(please)...？请你……好吗？如：
<br>
<br>　　Will you please come to my home, Mary? 玛丽，请你到我家来好吗？
<br>
<br>　　5. Can / Could you...? 你能……吗？如：
<br>
<br>　　Can / Could you come to play football? 你能来踢足球吗？
<br>
<br>　　6. Do you want ...？你想……吗？如：
<br>
<br>　　Do you want to come with us? 你想和我们一起来吗？
<br>
<br>　　[接受邀请的表白]
<br>
<br>　　1. Yes / Certainly / Sure. I'd like / love to. 是的，我很愿意去。(注：答语后面的“to”不可省略)
<br>
<br>　　2. Yes. With pleasure. 是的，我很荣幸。
<br>
<br>　　3. Yes, I'm glad to. 是的，我很乐意。
<br>
<br>　　4. That's very kind of you. Thank you. / It's very nice of you. Thank you. / That would be very nice of you. Thank you. 你太好了，谢谢你！
<br>
<br>　　5. I'd love to come. Thank you for inviting / asking me. 我很高兴来，感谢你邀请我。
<br>
<br>　　[不能赴约的婉言谢绝]
<br>
<br>　　1. That's very kind of you, but I'm afraid... 你真是太好了，不过恐怕……。
<br>
<br>　　2. I'd love / like to, but I have to... 我很想来，但我不得不……。
<br>
<br>　　3. I'm very sorry, but I can't... 很抱歉，可我不能……。
<br>
<br>　　4. Sorry, but I can't. Thank you all the same. 对不起，但我不能。可是我仍然要谢谢你。
<br>
<br>　　[邀请到某人的高兴之情]
<br>
<br>　　1. I'm so glad you can come. 你能来我很高兴。
<br>
<br>　　2. It's a real pleasure to have you with us tonight. 今晚能请到你们，真是太荣幸了。
<br>
<br>　　二、请求许可与你相约
<br>
<br>　　[请求许可]
<br>
<br>　　1.正式的请求用：May I ..., please?语气十分委婉，意为“请问，我可以……吗？”。如：
<br>
<br>　　May I use your telephone, please? 请问，我可以用一下你的电话吗？
<br>
<br>　　2.非正式的请求用：Could / Can I ..., please? 意为“请问，我能……吗？”在这种句式中，用could比用can 语气委婉，显得有礼貌，而用can则指家人、朋友等不拘礼节的较为随便的场合。如：
<br>
<br>　　Could I open the windows, please? 请问，我能打开窗户吗？
<br>
<br>　　[请求许可应答语]

<br>
<br>　　7. Yes, you may (can). 可以。
<br>
<br>　　不同意请求的常用语：

<br>　　1. No, please don't. 请不要。
<br>
<br>　　2. I'm sorry you can't. 对不起，你不可以。
<br>
<br>　　3. Sorry, I'm afraid not. 对不起，恐怕不行。
<br>
<br>　　4. You'd better not ... 你最好别……。
<br>
<br>　　5. No, you mustn't. 不可以。
<br>
<br>　　6. No, you can't. 不能。
<br>
<br>　　[特别提示]
<br>
<br>　　做某事可能引起对方不便或打扰别人时，常用：Do you mind if I do...？意为“如果我做某事，你反对/介意吗？”如：
<br>
<br>　　Do you mind if I open the door. 我打开门你介意吗？
<br>
<br>　　对Do you mind if I do... ?进行应答时，如果表示“允许/不介意”，常说：

<br>
<br>　　Certainly not / Of course not. 当然不介意。
