2023年英语邀请信 一、邀请信及复信 ( Letters of Invitations and Acknowledgments) 邀请信包括宴会邀请、午餐和晚餐邀请、聚会邀请、舞会邀请、婚礼邀请等。邀请信分为两种:一种是正规的格式(formal correspondence),也叫做请柬;一种是非正规的格式 (informal correspondence), 也就是一般的邀请信。 邀请信虽然看起来不象请柬那样正规、庄重,但是,也是很讲究的。写好邀请信,需注意以下几个问题: 1.邀请信一定要写得明确、完整,不可给收信人留下任何疑问。如: “ Id like you and Tom to come to dinner next Wednesday.” 这样的写法就不够明确,需要加上具体的日期和时间。该句应写成: “Id like you and Tom to come to dinner on Wednesday, June 14, at seven oclock .” 2.在欧美国家,夜晚的邀请,除了那些只允许男人参加的社交活动之外,不论是正式的,还是非正式的,都应该邀请夫妻双方参加。 3.别人对你的邀请是对你的尊重,因此,无论能否赴约,都应该给与及时的、有礼貌的答复。 4.对于邀请信,在复信时应该明确地说明是接受邀请, 还是不能接受邀请。不能使用模棱两可的话。如: “ Ill try my best to come.” “ Ill come if Im in town.” 等等,那样会使邀请人感到十分不安,应该明确说明去还是不去,以便让邀请人早做安排。 5.接受邀请时,在回信时要重复写上邀请信中的某些内容,如: 几 1 月几日、星期几、几点钟等等。不应该这样写:“ Ill be delighted to attend your luncheon” ,而应该写成: “ Ill be delighted to attend your luncheon on Thursday, May tenth, at one oclock.” 这样写,可以纠正你或邀请人可能弄错了的日期和时间。 (一) 宴会邀请信及复信 ( Dinner Invitations and Acknowledgments) 邀请朋友赴宴 (Inviting a Friend to Dinner) Dear Zhang Ning, Will you and Mr.Wang Yi have dinner with us on Tuesday, the fifth of May, at seven oclock? Its a long time since we have had the plea-sure of seeing you and we do hope you can come. Sincerely yours, Elizabeth K.Benton 译文 亲爱的张宁: 请您和王义先生于五月五日(星期二)下午七时与我们共进晚餐,不知是否能来?自上次见面以来,又有很长时间未见面了,非常希望你们能够光临。 您真挚的 伊丽莎白K本顿 接受邀请(Acceptance) 2 Dear Mrs.Benton, Wang Yi and I will be delighted to dine with you on Tuesday, the fifth of May, at seven oclock.How nice of you to ask us! We are both looking forward with great pleasure to seeing you and Dr.Benton again. Very sincerely yours, Zhang Ning 译文 亲爱的本顿夫人, 王义和我将在五月五日(星期二)下午七时愉快地与您们共进晚餐,承蒙您们邀请,非常高兴! 我们将以极其愉快的心情,盼望着再一次和您以及本顿医生见面。 您们非常真挚的 张宁 不能赴约 (Regret) Dear Mrs.Benton, Ive been putting off this note until the last poible moment, hoping and hoping Wang Yi would get back from Shanghai in time for your dinner party.But now I must regretfully write that hell still 3 be out of town on Tuesday, the fifth; and we therefore cannot accept your kind invitation for dinner on that day.It was sweet of you to ask us; and I know Wang Yi will be as sorry as I am to mi an evening with you and Dr.Benton.We know how delightful such evenings at your house usually are! Sincerely yours, Zhang Ning 译文 亲爱的本顿夫人, 我一直盼望着王义能从上海及时赶回来参加您们的宴会,以致迟迟未写回信。据悉,在五日(星期二)以前,他不能返回本市,因此,我们不能参加您们的宴会。为此我们深表遗憾,特此告知。 感谢您们的盛情邀请,我们不能同您及本顿医生共度那个夜晚,我想王义一定和我一样感到遗憾,因为在您家中度过这样的夜晚总是令人十分愉快的。 您真挚的 张宁 2.邀请朋友赴宴和看电影 (Inviting a Friend to Dinner and the Movie ) 现代人由于忙忙碌碌,邀请信总是写得很简短,邀请朋友赴宴和看电影,通常只写上几行字,但是,他们认为这并不是草率和不恭敬的 4 表现,只是为了速度快些罢了。例如: Dear Li Ming, We have four tickets for a new movie Brokeback Mountain this Friday, the tenth.Will you and HeYi join us here for dinner at six sharp; and then go on with us later to the movie? Well be looking for you Friday night, so dont disappoint us! Affectionately yours, Doris 译文 亲爱的李明, 本月10号(星期五)我们买到了新电影断背山的四张电影票,请您和何毅在六点整前来共进晚餐,然后我们同去看这部新电影,好吗?盼望您们星期五晚上前来,别让我们失望! 您亲爱的 多丽丝 接受邀请 (Acceptance) Dear Doris, Delighted!

Sincerely yours, Li Li 译文 7 亲爱的詹宁斯夫人, 获悉我的儿子他正在上海读书在打篮球时受了伤,虽然伤势不算太严重,但是林凯和我都觉得我们应该去看望他。我们将于明天上午前往。 因此,我们只好取消五月五日的宴请了,改日再举行。 我深信您和詹宁斯先生一定能够理解我们焦急的心情,并能原谅我们在这最后时刻改变了原计划。 您真诚的 李丽 4.对于非正宴请的不能如期赴约的短笺 (Note to Break an Informal Dinner Engagement) 按照英美人的习惯,应邀者因为生病或其他原因而不能如期赴约时,应该打个电话或写一封短信告诉邀请人。当然,只有在万不得已时才能做出这样的改变。 Dear Mrs.Benton, Im very sorry to have to write you this letter!
