4. 谢绝不相识的人的邀请
Apologizing for being unable to accept an invitation
Dear [Mrs. Brown]:
I have heard so much about [Lambert] from [Jane] that I almost feel as though I knew him. I would certainly enjoy meeting his mother!
But unfortunately I expect guests myself on [Friday, the seventh of May]; and therefore cannot accept your invitation for luncheon on that day.
It was thoughtful of you to invite me, and I am extremely sorry I cannot accept, I do hope you will ask me again some time!
Sincerely yours,
亲爱的[布朗]:
我已经从[简]那里知道了许多关于[兰伯特]的事，我好像已经认识他似的，能够去见他母亲我当然觉得十分荣幸!
但是很不凑巧:在[5月7日(星期五)]我自己要招待客人， 因此就不能接受您在那天的午宴邀请了。
承您如此热情地相约，恰巧因事不能前往，深表歉意，但愿以后能再次荣获您的邀请。
