朋友舉辦聚會，但你不能參加該怎么辦

來聽今天的講解:

A:Susan,do you want to drop by Tom's with me tonight?I hear he's having a party.

蘇珊，今晚你愿意和我一起去湯姆家嗎？我聽說他在舉辦晚會。

B:I wish I could.But I promised to run errands for my mom.I don't think I can get out of it.

我希望我能去。但是我已經(jīng)答應了我媽媽幫她做點事。我覺得我可能推不了。

A:You could tell her something important came up.

你可以告訴她你有點著急的事情要做。

B:Like what?

比如呢？

A:You could say that an old friend turned up and that you wanted to see her.

你可以說，來了一個好朋友，你想見她。

B:I don't think she'll believe such excuses.She wasn't born yesterday,you know.Maybe I can come later on.

我覺得她不會相信這種借口。她又不是小孩子。沒準我可以晚點去。
