A: 下星期一晚上你有空嗎？
B: 我來(lái)查查我的時(shí)間表。
A: 我要替海倫辦場(chǎng)派對(duì)。
B: 當(dāng)天我要到外地去。實(shí)在抱歉。但愿我能參加你的派對(duì)。請(qǐng)代我向海倫問(wèn)好。
重點(diǎn)解說(shuō)：
★ free「有空的」
★ check「檢查，核對(duì)」
★ schedule「時(shí)間表，計(jì)劃表」
★ have [give, throw] a party「舉辦派對(duì)」
★ be out of town「不在市內(nèi)」
★ I wish ~「但愿~」此語(yǔ)用于表示現(xiàn)實(shí)中雖不可能，但自己很希望能達(dá)成或?qū)崿F(xiàn)某事。I wish I could ~「但愿我能~」，could之后若接用完成式，則成為表示與過(guò)去事實(shí)相反的假設(shè)，如I wish I could have helped him.「但愿我當(dāng)時(shí)能幫他?！?
★ say hello to (someone)「代我向(某人)問(wèn)好」，類似的說(shuō)法還有g(shù)ive my regards to (someone), remember me to (someone), love to (someone)等。
