4. 邀请来家中小住及周末聚会　An invitation for a house and weekend party

Dear [Jane]:
I hope [you and Fred] haven’t any plan for the weekend of [July twenty-fourth
] as we’d like you to spend it with us at [Far Acres]. It’s simply beautiful
here now, with everything in bloom!
I think we can promise [Fred] some good fishing this year. The fish are biting
better than ever! So bring your fishing clothes; and be sure to bring your te
nnis things, too, because [the Owens] are coming and I’m sure you’ll want to
get out on the courts with them.
There’s a very good train [Friday night]; I’ve marked it in red on the timet
able. It gets you here about [seven-thirty] which is just in time for dinner.
You can get a late train back [Sunday night], or there’s an early express tha
t [Bob] usually takes on [Monday morning].
We hope nothing will prevent you from coming, as we’re looking forward to you
r visit … and I know [the Owens] are looking forward to seeing you again, too
. Be sure to let us know what train you are taking so that [Bob] can meet you
at the station.
Affectionately yours,

亲爱的[简]：
如果您[7月24日]没有什么活动安排，我希望[您和弗雷德]能同我们一起在[远庄园]共度周
末，那里已经鲜花遍地，现正在最美丽的时节。
我想，今年我们能让[弗雷德]钓鱼钓得更快活。鱼儿比过去任何时候都爱上钓鱼。请把钓
鱼的服装带来，也别忘记带上打网球的用具，因为我们还邀约了[欧文]夫妇，我想，你们
是乐意同他们打网球的。
[星期五晚上]有一班舒适的火车，我已经在火车时刻表上做了红色记号，火车大约在[7点
半钟]把你们送到这里，正是吃晚饭时间。[星期日晚上]你们可以乘晚车回来。或者，在[
星期一早晨]也有一班快车，就是[鲍勃]常坐的那一班车。
我们希望没有什么事情会阻碍你们，我们在等待着你们光临……我知道[欧文夫妇]好盼望
再次见到你们。准备乘哪一班火车，请一定告诉我们，好让[鲍勃]到车站迎接你们。
