8、the invitation is for.

12、an take either an infinitive clause or an of-V-ing phrase, thus be in a position of having to take back. can be also rewritten as be in a position to take back . Translation: 比如說，如果你說有空，而邀請參加的卻是你不愿意做的事 (到你已經(jīng)去過10次的當(dāng)?shù)鼐包c旅游), 那么你就可以回絕邀請，或者以后再編一個借口。 Example: If you list a few priorities, then you will be

17、nd the customs vary in different parts of the United States. Para. 3 In many instances it is the inviter who pays, as one would expect, but in some instances each one pays his or her own check: You “go Dutch.” This is often the case with friends in informal situations, such as “Lets go and get a bee

In this case the host expects to pay and the guest may offer to leave the tip, which may be declined by the host. (If

19、 so, just let the matter drop.) If the invitation is expressed in fairly casual terms, such as “Lets go to (name of a restaurant) for dinner,” it may be more of a suggestion than an invitation, so you should be prepared to pay your part of the bill.  Language Points: 1. Explanation of Difficult
