Unit 2 邀请信的回复
邀请信的复信要求简明扼要，在书写时应注意以下几点：
1. 接受邀请的复信中应重复写上邀请信中的某些内容，如邀请年、月、日，星期几、几点钟等，如 “I’ll be delighted to attend your luncheon next Friday, May the fifth, at twelve o’clock”。
2. 邀请信的复信中应明确表明接受邀请还是不接受邀请，不能含乎其词，如不能写 “I’ll come if I’m in town”。这类的话，以使得对方无法作出安排。在接受邀请的复信中，应对受到邀请表示高兴。谢却的复信中应阐明不能应邀的原由。

I assure you it will be a very great pleasure indeed to meet [Wang Hui’s mother]! Thank you so much for asking me.
Truly Yours
亲爱的[王华]：
我将愉快地参加您于[4月6日（星期二）下午1时]举行的午宴。
[鲍勃]经常向我提起[王晖]，并经常谈到与他[同住一室/为队友]是多么愉快。虽然我还没有见过他，但因为听到有关他的事情多，好像已经认识他了。

Dear [Mrs. Brown]:
I have heard so much about [Lambert] from [Jane] that I almost feel as though I knew him. I would certainly enjoy meeting his mother!

It was thoughtful of you to invite me, and I am extremely sorry I cannot accept, I do hope you will ask me again some time!
Sincerely yours,
亲爱的[布朗]：
我已经从[简]那里知道了许多关于[兰伯特]的事，我好像已经认识他似的，能够去见他母亲我当然觉得十分荣幸！
但是很不凑巧：在[5月7日（星期五）]我自己要招待客人， 因此就不能接受您在那天的午宴邀请了。
