Whether it is to a wedding, a dinner party, shower or gala event, an invitation comes with some important obligations.Here’s a quick guide to keep you on the guest list.1.R.S.V.P

From the French “Répondez, s’il vous plait”, it means “Please reply.” This little code has been around for a long time and it’s definitely telling you that your hosts want to know if you are attending.Reply promptly, within a day or two of receiving an invitation.2.How do I respond? Reply in the manner indicated on the invitation.R.S.V.P and no response card: a handwritten response to the host at the return address on the envelope.Response Card: fill in and reply by the date indicated and return in the enclosed envelope.R.S.V.P with phone number: telephone and make sure to speak in person — answering machines can be unreliable.R.S.V.P with e-mail: you may accept or decline electronically.Regrets only: reply only if you cannot attend.If your host doesn’t hear from you, he is expecting you!

No reply requested? Unusual, but it is always polite to let someone know your intentions.A phone call would be sufficient.3.Is that your final answer?

Changing a “yes” to a “no” is only acceptable on account of: illness or injury, a death in the family or an unavoidable professional or business conflict.Call your hosts immediately.Canceling because you have a “better” offer is a surefire way to get dropped from ALL the guest lists.Being a “no show” is unacceptable.Changing

a

“no”

to

a

“yes”

is OK only if it will not upset the hosts’ arrangements.4.“May I bring „?”

Don’t even ask!An invitation is extended to the people the hosts want to invite — and no one else.„ a date.Some invitations indicate that you may invite a guest or date(Mr.John Evans and Guest)and when you reply, you should indicate whether you are bringing someone, and convey their name.„ my children.If they were invited, the invitation would have said so.„ my houseguest.It’s best to decline the invitation, stating the reason.This gives your host the option to extend the invitation to your guests, or not.5.Say “Thank You.”

Make sure to thank your hosts before you leave, and then again by phone or note the next day.Text Business Invitation

A case of mistaken identity!Don’t worry, we’ve been assured that this mystery will be

solved in time for our Holiday Office Party We’re leaving the investigation to those who do it best.Let’s get away from all those computers, papers and mess and come to our office party in your best suit or dress.Come join us and Toast the Season Thursday, December 9th 2010 5:00 P.M.The Columbia House – Penthouse Floor 485 Jefferson Plaza Leonard, Barley, Travis, Bailey and Smith

Business invitations can be informal or formal.Although invitations are usually sent through the mail, informal invitations such as e-mail and phone invitations are becoming more acceptable.Invitation Timing

For most formal occasions, it’s best to invite guests three or four weeks in advance.If you choose to invite your guests by phone, remind them again in writing two weeks before the gathering.Here are a few guidelines for your information: ● Six to eight months before an important seminar to which out-of-town executives are invited.● Four weeks before an evening reception.● Two to four weeks before a cocktail party.Invitation Format

Formal business invitations are most commonly printed on white or off-white high-quality paper.A company can use any color of paper it desires, as long as it upholds and promotes the company’s image.With preprinted invitations, you simply fill in the blanks to tell what, where, and when the party will be and who is giving it.It’s also acceptable to include an RSVP notation and your phone number or address on the invitation for more accurate planning.Responding to an Invitation

Either use the address or phone number printed in the lower left corner of the invitation or return the RSVP card sent with the invitation.If a “Please reply by” a given date is included in the invitation, be polite enough to reply by that date.If the words “Regrets only” are printed in the lower left corner of the invitation, you need only to inform the host if you will not be able to attend.If your host does not hear from you, you are expected to attend.Never ask to bring a guest unless the invitation states “Mr.Louis Winthorp and Guest.” Most likely, the host will have only enough food and drinks for the number of people he invites.Showing up with an uninvited friend could turn out to be an embarrassing situation for everyone.Language Points 1 Explanation of Difficult Sentences 1.(Para.1)Although invitations are usually sent through the mail, informal invitations such as e-mails and phone invitations are becoming more acceptable.Analysis: such as means “of the same kind, like” and should be followed by nouns or noun phrases.Translation: 虽然邀请函通常通过信函方式发出，但目前像电子邮件、电话邀请

climate change.2.(Para.4)It’s also acceptable to include an RSVP notation and your phone number or address on the invitation for more accurate planning.Analysis: It’s also acceptable to do „ means “It’s also good enough to be received to do „”

Example: If you choose to invite your guests by phone, remind them again in writing two weeks before the gathering.Example: It’s acceptable to play tricks on your friends on April 1st.4.(Para.6)Never ask to bring a guest unless the invitation states “Mr.Louis Winthorp and Guest.”

Analysis: Never „ unless „ is “double negative”, which means “You can bring a guest if the invitation states „”

求知若饥，虚怀若愚

——史蒂夫·乔布斯2005年6月12日在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的致辞

（节本）我今天很荣幸能和你们一起参加世界上最好的大学之一的毕业典礼。说实话，我从来没有从大学毕业。这算是我最接近大学毕业典礼的时候了。今天我想跟你们讲述我人生中的三个故事。2 第一个故事是关于连点成线。3 我在大学只读了六个月就退学了，但作为旁听生在学校继续呆了十八个月以后才真正退学。那么我为什么要退学呢？ 4 这要追溯到我出生以前了。我的亲生母亲是一个年轻的、没有结婚的大学毕业生。她决定让别人收养我，她坚信应由大学毕业生收养我，所以当她发现我养母从来没有读完大学、养父甚至连高中也没读完时，她拒绝在收养文件上签字。我父母向她保证我一定会上大学,她的心才软了下来。这是我生命的开始。5 十七岁那年,我真的上了大学。六个月后,我看不到其中的价值所在。我不知道自己真正想要做什么,也不知道大学能怎样帮助我找到答案，而我却在这里，花着我父母一辈子的全部积蓄。所以我决定退学，坚信一切最终会好起来。现在回头看看，那的确是我这一生中最棒的一个决定。从退学的那一刻开始，我就可以不必去上那些让我不感兴趣的课，而可以开始去选修那些看起来有意思得多的课程。6 我跟着我的直觉和好奇心走,遇到了很多东西,这些东西后来被证明是无价之宝。我给你们举一个例子吧。7 里德大学在那时开设了也许是全美最好的美术字课程。校园里的每张海报、每个抽屉的标签都用漂亮的美术字做成。因为退学了,不必去上常规的课程,所以我决定去上美术字课，学习怎样写出漂亮的美术字。我学到了关于serif和san serif字体的知识,还有改变不同的字母组合的间距,以及好的印刷式样之所以好的原因。它很美，有历史感，还有一种科学无法解释的艺术精妙。我发现那实在是太迷人了。8 当时这些东西在我的生活中全都没有任何实际应用的可能。但是十年后,我们设计第一台Macintosh电脑时,这一切又回到我的脑海。我把那些东西全都放进了Mac的设计之中。那是第一台拥有漂亮印刷字体的电脑。在大学，要是我没去旁听这门课，Mac今天就不会有这么丰富的字体以及赏心悦目的字体间距。又因为Windows只是照抄了Mac，所以任何个人电脑可能都不会有这些东西。要是我没有退学,我就不会去旁听那门美术字课程,个人电脑也就可能不会拥有现在这么漂亮的字体。当然，我在大学的时候，还不可能在展望未来的时候把这些点串连起来,但是十年后再回顾这一切,就再清楚不过了。9 况且,你在向前展望的时候不可能将这些点串连起来；你只能在回顾过去的时候将一个一个的点串连起来，所以你必须相信这些点会在你未来的某一天连接起来。相信这一点将会给你以信心去追随自己内心的感受，就算是偏离常道也不会傍徨，那会让一切变得完全不同。10 我的第二个故事是关于爱和失去。11 我非常幸运——因为我在很早的时候就找到了我所热爱的东西。我二十岁，和沃兹在父母的车库里面开创了苹果公司。我们工作很努力,十年的时间里苹果由车库里的两个人发展到拥有四千多名员工、价值超过二十亿的大公司。一年前我们刚刚推出了最好的产品,Macintosh，我也刚满三十，这时我被炒了鱿鱼。你怎么可能被自己创立的公司炒了鱿鱼呢?嗯,在苹果快速成长的时候，我们雇用了一个人和我一起管理公司，我俩对未来的看法发生了分歧,最终吵了起来。我们吵架时,董事会站在了他那边。所以在三十岁的时候,我出局了。我全部成年生活的焦点离自己远去,这真是毁灭性的打击。但我渐渐明白，我仍然喜爱我从事的这些东西。苹果公司发生的这些事情丝毫没有改变这些。所以我决定从头再来。12 我当时没有觉察,但是事后证明，被苹果公司炒鱿鱼是这辈子发生在我身上的最棒的事情。成功的负重感被重作新手的轻快感所取代，我又一次对任何事情都不那么肯定。这让我得到解放，进入
