In Britain, people often invite friends for a meal, a party or a cup of coffee. People who know each other very well----close friends, family or neighbours---- visit each other’s houses without invitation(邀请). When people invite someone to their homes, they often say: “ Would you like to come for dinner on Saturday?” Answers are: “ Thanks, We’d love to. What time?” or “I’m sorry. We’d love to but we have tickets for the film.” However , it is not polite to say ：“ No，we wouldn’t!”
Sometimes, the British use expressions(表达) that sound like invitations but which are not invitations. For example：“ You must come over for a drink sometime.” Or “Let’s go out for a meal one of these days.” These are usually just polite ways of ending a talk. They are not real invitations because they don’t mention(提到) an exact (确切) time or day. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly and the answers are : “ Yes, that would be nice.” Or : “ OK, yes ,thanks.”
So next time you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person jus being friendly?
