I d like to introduce1 you to the new members of the project2 group. Would3 you mind4 us having lunch together?
如果无法成行,被邀请人应委婉地向对方回绝:
I m sorry, but I have another appointment5.
如果欣然接受,可以说:
That sounds great.
在商量好时间、地点之后,双方都应准时赴约。一般说来,在吃饭时,大家会谈论一些轻松的与生意无关的话题,当餐具被收起,甜点上桌后,就可以提议:
Can we talk a little bit6 about the project?
这样双方就比较自然地转入工作话题了。
午餐结束后,应由邀请方料理付账的事情:
We ll take care7 of the bill8.
双方告别时,邀请方要向接受邀请的对方道谢:
We re glad you joined us.
