【口语】邀请别人共进晚餐时说“eat dinner”了
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]在中文里有一句话叫，一句话百样说。语言是一种艺术，如何措辞更是有讲究。是“僧推月下门”还是“僧敲月下门”的也要好好推敲。[/font][/color][color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]英文也是这样。[/font][/color]

[font=Tahoma,]要不要一起吃晚餐？[/font]
[font=Tahoma,]Would you like to eat dinner with me？[/font]
[font=Tahoma,]V.S[/font]
[font=Tahoma,]Would you like to have dinner with me？[/font]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]虽然eat和have都是吃，但是前者只是单纯指把食物放进嘴里吞下去，而后者却有“享用美味”的意味。[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]所以eat dinner会给人匆忙解决一顿饭的感觉，约女生显得特别俗特别没有诚意没有情调，如果说have dinner，就好像是烛光、红酒、牛排，享受美食带给味蕾的刺激。[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]比如可以说：[/font][/color][font=Tahoma,]The coming Friday will be my day off. Would you like to have lunch with me？[/font]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]这周五我休息，你愿不愿意和我一起吃午饭？[/font][/color]

[font=Tahoma,]我会暂住在朋友家[/font]
[font=Tahoma,]I will live with a friend.[/font]
[font=Tahoma,]V.S[/font]
[font=Tahoma,]I will stay with a friend.[/font]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]这几天确实是你和朋友同“住”，但用live这个[/font][/color][font=Tahoma, Microsoft Yahei, Simsun][color=#07519a][size=16px]词汇[/size][/color][/font][color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]让别人以为你们会“长住”，stay才是指短期性的停留。[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]比如：[/font][/color][font=Tahoma,]I just found out that I have to go to Chicago on business for a week. I think I will stay with a friend during this period.[/font]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]我刚刚知道我要去芝加哥出几天差，我想我会找我朋友住几天。[/font][/color]

[font=Tahoma,]2月15日是到期日，不可延期。[/font]
[font=Tahoma,]February 15 is the due date. [/font]
[font=Tahoma,]V.S[/font]
[font=Tahoma,]February 15 is the hard deadline. [/font]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]due date虽然是“到期日”没错，但它属于soft deadline，是“建议”的一个交期，在此日期之后也可以被接受，情况不是很严重。[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]第二句中的hard deadline，是说准了的截止日期，坚决不可延期，因此用due date不精确。[/font][/color]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]比如：[/font][/color][font=Tahoma,]You must hand in your proposal by Friday, which is the hard deadline.[/font]
[color=#444444][font=Tahoma,]你必须要在周五之前交出提案，那是最后的期限。[/font][/color]
