Letters of Invitation (邀请信)

在涉外交往、亲友通信的社交活动中,总免不了写请帖或邀请信。邀请信分两种:一

种是正式的,也叫请帖或请柬;一种是非正式的,就是一般的邀请信。

一般的邀请信与普通书信相同,虽不像请帖那样正规、庄重,但也要措辞婉转、诚恳

有礼,使对方看后有亲切的感觉。写好邀请信,需注意以下几点:

1. 邀请信一定要写得明确、完整,不可留下任何疑问使被邀请者捉摸不定。要写明场

合、地点、时间(年、月、日及钟点)。

2. 要写明请人来的目的。

2. 邀请者如有妻子,需将夫妇姓名都写上,对被邀请者也是如此。

3. 别人邀请你是对你的尊重,应该给予及时的、有礼貌的答复。

邀请信中常用的句型有:

I’d like you to come to dinner on Wednesday, May the eleventh.

Will you have a party with us at our home on Sunday, June the tenth, at six o’clock?

I do hope you can make it.

We are looking forward to seeing you both.

Example Letter of Invitation

Dear Ruth,

Tom and I are having come very special friends here for dinner on Thursday, October

second. Naturally the party wouldn’t be complete without you and Bill!

We hope you can come, as we are planning to show the movies we made in Paris, and

we know you

and Bill are thinking of going there this winter.

Dinner is at seven, as usual. We’ll be looking for you two charming people at that time,

so don’t

disappoint us!

Affectionately yours

Betty(and Tom)

Although many people now prefer the convenience of telephoning a response, it’s always

better form to answer by note when invited by note.

Sample Letter of Acknowledgement

Dear Betty,

How could we even think of turning down (拒绝) the prospect of another delightful

evening with you and Tom? Of course we’ll be there on Thursday, October second------

Promptly at seven!

Bill and I are both excited about seeing those Paris pictures. We think that’s where

we’re going for our vacation this winter; so it will be wonderful seeing your pictures and

getting a “preview” of the city.

Thanks for asking us, Betty. We’re certainly looking forward to next Thursday.

Affectionately yours

Ruth (and Bill)

If you refuse an invitation, you must explain why -------even to a friend. Especially to a friend!

Sample Letter of declining an Invitation

Dear Betty,

What a shame! We won’t be able to come to your dinner party on Thursday because

that’s the day we’re having the Gilman here for dinner.

You remember I told you about Mr. Gilman last week. He’s one of Bill’s most

important clients (客户). If it were anyone else, I’d alter (改变) my plans ------ even at the

very last moment ----- rather than miss an evening with you and Tom! But I just can’t do

that with the Gilman, Betty, I’m sure you understand.

Bill and I would certainly like to see those Paris pictures, as we think that’s where

we’re going this winter. Will you give us a private showing some time? Just say when and

we’ll be there!

Have a good time on Thursday. I certainly wish we could be with you!

Affectionately yours

Ruth(and Bill)

Another Sample Letter of Invitation

401 Zhong Shan Bei Yi Rd

Shanghai 200083

China

26 October, 2002

Dear Peter,

Thank you for your letter which arrived yesterday. I’m really pleased to learn that

you’re coming to our country again. Would you like to come and stay with us while you’re

here? You’d be welcome to stay as long as you like.

Luckily I’ll be on holiday when you’re in china, so I could show you round. Shanghai

is an interesting and lively city. There’s quite a bit of night like and there are a lot of places

of interest if you like that sort of thing. Of course, there are plenty of shopping places.

I’m really looking forward to seeing you again. Please write soon and say when you

can come.

yours

LiHong
