生活英语|邀请客人

H: Hi, Stella. Hows everything going^1?

G: Quite good. What about you?

H: Terrific^{2! You see, John and me have just moved to a new house. We are throwing a house-warming party this evening. Would3 you like to come?}

G: Of course^{4 Ill come. I wont miss it for the world!}

H: Thatll be great!

Throw a party就是举办派对的意思，house-warming party可以翻译为暖房派对，一般在搬进新居后举行。歪果仁很喜欢party，其名目也不少，最容易见到的当然是birthday party啦，其他比较有代表性的有bachelor party（单身派对），baby shower（孩子派对），farewell party（欢送会），potluck party（家庭聚餐会）等等，与各种特定主题的派对，比如Stella-dear party，就是为亲爱的Stella举办的一个特别的派对。Wont miss it for the world直译为宁可舍弃全世界也不会错过你的派对，可见情比金坚。
