选项

答案Dear James, Thanks a lot for your invitation to your birthday party at Students’ Recreational Center at 7 o’clock tomorrow evening. I would be glad to go, but I’m afraid I can’t at that time, because I just got a phone call from my brother in Beijing telling me that my mother was coming tomorrow at about 7:30 evening. She is going to Guangzhou via Shanghai and just wants to pay me a short visit in passing. I don’t want to disappoint her, so I’m afraid I have to be absent from your party. Anyway, I wish you a happy birthday and a successful birthday party. My classmate Xiao Mei is taking photos of the party. She promises me to show me the pictures. I hope to see many of your broad smiles.

解析 这是一封表示歉意的信件。回复邀请函应注意以下几点:第一,不管是接受还是不接受邀请,一般都应在回复函里重复邀请函提到的时间、地点等具体信息,尤其是准备接受邀请,这样可以避免错看时间和地点。第二,要表示感谢。第三,如不能接受,一定说明原因,千万别不回复,这样很不礼貌。这封信按照以上要求,分为感谢、表明不能接受邀请的理由和祝贺三部分。最后顺便带上一句关于照片的话,语气比较轻松。该信使用了以下词组和表达法:would be glad to...,but...很愿意……可……;I’m afraid 恐怕;pay a short visit in passing顺便看望;be absent from 缺席;anyway不过;promise sb. to do sth.答应某人做某事。
这是一封表示歉意的信,应首先对老师向你发出邀请表示感谢(注意:要重复老师邀请函中所提及的晚会地点和时间等具体信息),表示你是很愿意参加晚会的,但迫于有急事,不能如愿前去。用I’d like to go,but...;可以在信中写明不能去的原因,语气要诚恳。最后,向老师表示祝贺,祝他生日快乐。
