SectionCPracticalWritingUnderstandingandWritingInvitationLettersAboutInvitationLettersSampleReadingUsefulPatternsExercisesAboutInvitationLetters邀请信在各种社交活动中应用广泛。一般分为两种：一种为正式请柬（invitationcard），一种是书信形式的邀请信。请柬通常有一定的格式：首先是主人的姓名（要用全称）或头衔；第二部分是request(s)thepleasure/honorof，相当于汉语中的“恭请”；第三部分是客人的姓名（要用全称）（加’s）或用Your（泛指）；第四部分是company/presenceat...,相当于汉语中的“光临······”；AboutInvitationLetters第五是日期；第六是钟点；第七是地点。如果要求复信，请柬下方要用R.S.V.P.或rsvp（原为法语，意为：请赐复）。右下方是主人的电话号码。请柬全文用第三人称。如果主人和客人的姓名都写在请柬的正文里，称呼和结束语可以省去。否则，需在结尾加上结束语。邀请信形式不如请柬正规，但书写时一定要注意：邀请信一定要将邀请的时间（年、月、日、钟点）、地点和场合写清楚。SampleReadingSample1TheChairmanofFarEastShippingGroupRequestsThehonorofyourpresenceAttheopeningceremonyOnMondaymorning,thefifthofMarchFromninetoeleveno’clock2851PudongAvenueShanghaiSampleReadingDearSirs,ThisistoadvisethatwearegoingtoholdanExportCommoditiesFairinShanghaifromMay1sttoMay15th,2008.Agreatvarietyofsamples,newlydesignedbyourmanufacturers,willbeonexhibition.WetakepleasureininvitingyoutocometotheFair.Pleasefaxthedateofyourarrival,enablingustomakethenecessarypreparations.Yoursfaithfully,ChenMingSample2UsefulPatternsThefollowingaresomesentencepatternscommonlyusedininvitationcardsorinvitationletters.1.I’dlike...tocometodinner.2.Requestthepleasureof...3.Thefavorofareplyisrequested.4.MayIhavethehonorofyourcompanyatdinner?5.Wesincerelyhopeyoucanattend...UsefulPatterns6.Pleaseconfirmyourparticipationatyourearliestconvenience.7.Thereceptionwillbeheldin...,on...8.Wethoughtitwouldbepleasanttohavesomeofourfriendstocelebrate...9.Pleaseletmeknowassoonaspossibleifyoucancomeandtellmewhenyouwillbeabletodoso.10.We’llbeawaitingyourarrivalonthetwelfth.1.FillinthefollowinginvitationcardaccordingtotheinformationgivenbelowinChinese.谨定于1月18日（星期五）晚7时在建国西路120号402室举行晚宴。恭请张华先生和夫人光临。孙志伟ExercisesMr.SunZhiweirequeststhepleasureof1)_______________________’scompanyat2)__________on2)____________,the4)_____of5)______at6)_____o’clock7)______at8)_________________________________Mr.andMrs.ZhangHuadinnerFriday18thJanuary7:00pmExercisesSuite402,No.120JianguoRoad(W)2.TranslatepartsofthefollowinginvitationletterintoEnglish.28August2008DearSir/Madam,1)____________________________(我们高兴地邀请您出席)theAutumn08’ClothingFair,tobeheldhereinHangzhouatWestLakeBuilding2)_________________________(从2008年10月12日到15日).Agreatvarietyof3)_______________________(新设计的样品)will4)_______________________(展出).Youwillhaveachancetoexamineawiderangeofourexportcommoditiesandtoconducton-the-spotnegotiationwithourmanufacturers.Wetakepleasureininvitingyoutonewlydesignedsamplesfrom12to15October,2008beonexhibitionExercisesIfyouacceptthisinvitation,5)_______________________________(请告知到达日期),sothatwecanmakenecessaryarrangements.Yoursfaithfully,WangJieGeneralManagerpleaseinformusofyourdateofarrivalExercises3.CompletethefollowinginvitationcardinEnglishwiththeinformationgivenbelow.为了庆祝中国出口商品交易会开幕，中国家具进出口公司定于2008年9月9日晚上7:00—8:00在白云宾馆(WhiteCloudHotel)举行招待会。邀请有关人士参加。ExercisesOntheopeningoftheChineseExportCommoditiesFairChinaFurnitureImport&ExportCooperationrequests1)__________________________________at2)______________________________________on3)______________________________________from4)______________________________________thehonorofyourpresenceareceptioninWhiteCloudHotelthe9thSeptember,20087:00pmto8:00pmExercisesTHANKYOUTheEnd
