invite的用法与搭配

 

1. 表示“邀请”,通常为及物动词,注意以下搭配:

(1) invite sb to [for] sth 邀请某人(参加)做某事

He invited me to dinner (a party, a wedding). 他邀请我参加宴会(晚会、婚礼)。

Why don’t you invite him for a drink (a meal)? 你为什么不邀请他喝一杯(吃饭)?

(2) invite sb to do sth 邀请某人做某事

They invited her to go for a walk. 他们请她一起去散步。

I’ve been invited to speak at the meeting. 我受到邀请在会上发言。

有时若意思明确可省略不定式。如:

He didn’t invite us (to come) in. 他没有请我们进屋。

He invited us (to come) to a party. 他邀请我们参加聚会。

有时以上几类结构可互换:

他邀请我们吃饭。

正:He invited us to [for] dinner.

正:He invited us to have dinner.

2. 有时不以人宾语,而以事作宾语。如:

Conversation flowed freely when the speaker invited discussion. 演讲人请大家讨论,于是人人畅所欲言。

After his speech he invited questions and comments . 他讲完话后请听众提问题和意见。

有时转指招致不好的东西(并非本意)。如:
