迷你对话A: Hello! This is Ben speaking.

　　你好，我是Ben。

　　B: Ben, this is Terry. Tomorrow night a party will be held in my apartment. I hope you can come.

　　Ben，我是Terry。明天晚上我家有一个聚会，希望你能来。

　　A: Wonderful. I will arrive on the dot.

　　太好了。我会准时到的。

　　地道表达on the dot1. 解词释义Dot是“点”的意思，on the dot字面意思就是“压着点的”，也就是“准时的，刚好在时间到的时候来的，不早也不晚的”。这个短语很实用，例如：约会，商务会议，确定日程等。

　　2. 拓展例句e.g. She was told to arrive at 8 o’clock on the dot.

　　她被告知八点钟准时到达。

　　e.g. She was very angry that he did not arrive on the dot; he had promised to.

　　他没准时到，这使她非常生气。他答应过准时到的。

　　e.g. The 3 o' clock train arrived on the dot.

　　三点的火车准时抵达。

　　e.g. She arrived at the airport at nine o'clock on the dot.

　　她于九点准时到达机场。

　　Ps：hold a party的意思是“举办晚会”，相当于have a party。再如：

　　I'd like to hold a party for her in my room.

　　我想在房间里为她开个生日会。

　　They hold a party in celebration of their victory.

　　他们举行晚会以庆祝胜利。
