57．请客吃饭

常用应急场景

范例一：Invite you hotpot

I am thinking about inviting you to a dinner. When would you have time? And what kind of food do you fancy?

That would be great. I am really in the mood for a spicy hotpot. Any special reason for the invitation?

To thank you for helping me at work last week. If you would not have been so kind, I would not have been able to pick my parents from the airport. You really did me a big favor. Thank you so much.

It was my pleasure. How about this evening? I feel very hungry now.

Fine, I know a good hotpot place in the downtown area, food there is pretty spicy too. Shall we try that one?

Ok with me. You are the boss. I will meet you downstairs after work.

范例二：There is restaurants

Have you noticed the Mexican restaurant on the other side of this street?

You mean the one with the yellow bricks? But last time I saw it, it wasn’t really in business yet. I saw some people inside furnishing the rooms. Is it open now?

Yes, someone give me a pamphlet introducing the restaurant and its business hours when I passed by this morning.

So, let’s have a try. My treat.

Great, I like the idea of trying some new food.

Good for you. Today we have more chances to try some new food because there are now many new form restaurants in our city coming from places all over the world.

Also some traditional Chinese food, like noodles and dumpling are marketed in modern ways with improved food quality. I heard this year, the government has imposed very stringent inspection on the hi-gene conditions restaurants and suppliers of food are also under tighter control.

For sure all the customers will benefit from this.
