各位親愛的朋友們,歡迎來到早間課堂第二系列《拋招接招》小節目,我是Juliet。今天我繼續拋給您說“Invitation”的招數,請聽:
拋招: I wish you would come and see us in Cornwall. I need hardly to say that you would be more than welcome. 我希望你能來康華爾看我們,我們將非常歡迎你。
接招:句中用到了一個短語:more than welcome,它的意思是非常歡迎。我們再來看一些例句:
1. You are more than welcome, I will be waiting for you at 2 in my office. 非常歡迎,下午兩點我會在辦公室恭候您。
2. You are more than welcome to this book. 熱忱歡迎你來品讀此書。
3. If you want to visit me in Paris next year you're more than welcome . 如果你明年想來巴黎拜訪我,絕對歡迎。
4. I'm having some people over to watch the game tonight . If you 're free you're more than welcome . 今晚我打算邀請一些朋友一起過來看比賽,你如果有時間,歡迎過來。
5. I'm sorry the house is full of all now, but if you like to wait for a moment, you're more than welcome . 實在對不起,現在餐廳已客滿,但是如果您愿意等會的話,我們非常歡迎!
此外,“You are more than welcome.”這個句子在不同的語境下有不同的意思。我們先來聽一個句子:
Please make yourself at home. You are more than welcome.
講解:在這句中“You are more than welcome”的意思是:You are very welcome to be here.(歡迎你到這里。)該例句的意思是:請隨意,我們非常歡迎你的到來。
A: Thank you so much. 非常感謝。
B: You are more than welcome. 不客氣。
在小對話中的“You are more than welcome”意思是:Your thanks are very gratefully accepted. 不客氣。別客氣了。
好,親愛的朋友們,我們今天的小學習即將結束了,我想今天的這招說“邀請”您一定接住了。下面我們來盤點一下我們近期學的關于“邀請”這個話題的招數:dine and wine,keep open house,kill the fatted calf,more than welcome,the red carpet treatment。那么,下回我們將進入另一個話題,是什么話題呢?您如期來接招的時候就知道了。好,親愛的朋友們,我們下期再見吧!
