Explanation 1. 与时间相关的短语有很多。例如: today 今天 tonight 今晚 tomorrow 明天

the day after tomorrow 后天 yesterday 昨天 the day before yesterday 前天 two days ago 两天前 the year before last 前年 after three weeks 三个星期后 in two years 过两年

2. 问日期的句型有： 今天是几号？ What’s the date today? 或 What date is it today? 3. “日期”的表示法 例如: 11月 5号 November 5; November 5th 读做 November the fifth

4. Monday (名词) “星期一” 在英语中表示星期的词有： Monday 星期一; Tuesday 星期二; Wednesday 星期三; Thursday 星期四； Friday 星期五; Saturday 星期六； Sunday 星期日

注意: 表示“星期”开头的字母要大写。 表示星期的单词都以“day” 结尾。 问“星期”的句型有： What day is it today? What day is today?

5. Thank you for 后接名词或动名词形式，表 示“因为……而感谢你” Thanks for your photos. (photos为名词) Thanks for helping me. (helping为动名词) 如果说: 谢谢你邀请我去做什么事情。 我们可说: Thank you for your invitation to visit next week.

6、invitation是名词，当“邀请”讲时，是不可数名词，当“邀请书，请帖”讲时，是可数 名词． e.g. Come at the invitation. 应邀前来 They received invitations to the party. 他们收到了参加聚会的请帖． invite的用法: (1) invite sb. to sw=ask sb. to sw（某地） 邀请某人到某地

e.g. He invited many people to his house. (2) invite sb. to do sth=ask sb.to do sth. 邀请某人做谋事 e.g. He also invited a singer to sing for his friends. invitation to sw /to do sth. 去某地/做某事的邀请 e.g. an invitation to the party an invitation to go to the summer camp

7. I look forward to hearing from you all. 我期盼着你们的答复。 look forward to 是一个固定搭配，表示“期待 期盼”， 其中to 是介词，因此后面如果使用动 词，要试用其-ing 形式。又如： I look forward to your reply. 我期待你的答复。 I’m really looking forward to seeing my little grandson again. 我好期待再次见到我的小孙子。

8. have a piano lesson 上钢琴课 have a lesson 上课 have a try 试一试 have a (good) rest have a look 看一看 have a good time have meals 吃饭 have breakfast / lunch/ dinner/ supper

9. Hope you can make it! 希望你能参加（聚会）! 此句中的make it 是个独立地表达方式，表示 通过努力或是历经困难后取得成功、完成某 事，可译为“ 成功；胜利”， 但有时也要视语 境及上下文灵活进行翻译，此处便是如此。 e.g. If we run, we should make it. 要是我们跑的话，应高不会迟到。 Though it was difficult, they still made it. 虽然很难，但他们依然成功了。

10. Please reply in writing to this invitation by Friday, December 20th. 请于12月20日以前以书信方式回复此邀请。 1）replying in writing 表示“ 以书面的形式进行回复”。其中reply相当于 answer，但要比后者更加书面化且正式许多。此处介词in表示方式，相当于汉语“ 用……方式（形式）”之意。

2）reply作动词时，不直接跟宾语，须由介词to Did you reply to these letter? 你回复这些来信了吗？ 3）在此句中，介词by 译为“ 截止……; …..之前到……为止”。介词before 也有“……之前”之意，但区别于before不包含其后的时间， 而 by 则包括。

e.g. You should get your homework ready by Friday. Remember: Friday is the last day! 你应当最迟于周五前把作业做好。记住： 周五是最后一天。 can you come and meet me before Friday? I’ll be away early Friday morning. 你能在周五前来见我一面吗？我周五一 大清早就走了。
