各位亲爱的朋友们,欢迎来到早间课堂第二系列《抛招接招》小节目,我是Juliet。今天我继续抛给您说“Invitation”的招数,请听:
抛招: I wish you would come and see us in Cornwall. I need hardly to say that you would be more than welcome. 我希望你能来康华尔看我们,我们将非常欢迎你。
接招:句中用到了一个短语:more than welcome,它的意思是非常欢迎。我们再来看一些例句:
1. You are more than welcome, I will be waiting for you at 2 in my office. 非常欢迎,下午两点我会在办公室恭候您。
2. You are more than welcome to this book. 热忱欢迎你来品读此书。
3. If you want to visit me in Paris next year you're more than welcome . 如果你明年想来巴黎拜访我,绝对欢迎。
4. I'm having some people over to watch the game tonight . If you 're free you're more than welcome . 今晚我打算邀请一些朋友一起过来看比赛,你如果有时间,欢迎过来。
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 . 实在对不起,现在餐厅已客满,但是如果您愿意等会的话,我们非常欢迎!
此外,“You are more than welcome.”这个句子在不同的语境下有不同的意思。我们先来听一个句子:
Please make yourself at home. You are more than welcome.
讲解:在这句中“You are more than welcome”的意思是:You are very welcome to be here.(欢迎你到这里。)该例句的意思是:请随意,我们非常欢迎你的到来。
A: Thank you so much. 非常感谢。
B: You are more than welcome. 不客气。
在小对话中的“You are more than welcome”意思是:Your thanks are very gratefully accepted. 不客气。别客气了。
好,亲爱的朋友们,我们今天的小学习即将结束了,我想今天的这招说“邀请”您一定接住了。下面我们来盘点一下我们近期学的关于“邀请”这个话题的招数:dine and wine,keep open house,kill the fatted calf,more than welcome,the red carpet treatment。那么,下回我们将进入另一个话题,是什么话题呢?您如期来接招的时候就知道了。好,亲爱的朋友们,我们下期再见吧!
