Rain check 改天
take a rain check or give somebody a rain check 可以广泛适用于社交生活。 举例来说,一个人邀请一位朋友出去吃饭,但是被邀的那位今晚不巧另有约会,而她却相当喜欢请客的这位,也希望能再有和他交往的机会。那么就可以说:
例句1:I'd love to go out with you, Jason. I'm sorry, I'm busy tonight but I hope you'll give me a rain check.
这儿的give me a rain check,意思是希望你能改天再约我。
例句2:I am afraid I will have to take a rain check on going to the movie. Please don’t be mad at me.
恐怕我得改天才去和你一起看电影了,不要生我的气哦!
例句3:I'm kind of busy today. Rain check?
我今天好忙,duang duang的,改天好吗?
