   英语应用文写作之请柬


  请柬(Invitation)
  所谓正式社交书信是使用于隆重的社交活动的信件,亦即请柬,如在教堂中举行婚礼的请柬、大型宴会的请柬、舞会请柬等。
  请柬是邀请亲友的书面通知,措辞要恰当,并有一定的格式。正式请柬要用优质白色的双摺卡。正面用雕版精印。卡纸可用平面的。请柬和复函都用第三人称来写。格式用美观而不规则的缩行形式排列在一页内。姓名要全部写出来。时间如星期几、日期、月份和地点均须写明。正式请柬亦可手写,但整个页面的安排须完全仿照印刷请柬的形式。
  晚宴、舞会等请柬用“request the pleasure (or honor) of your company ”来邀请。在教堂结婚,邀请出席婚礼用“request the honor of your presence” ,中文的意思是“敬请出席”或“恭请光临“。
  一、正式请柬

  R.S.V.P. 是法语 “Répondez, s’il vous plait”的缩写,意思是:“Reply if you please”, 中文意为:“请赐回示/请惠复/赐复”。亦可用下列辞句:
  接到正式请柬后应尽可能在24小时内予以答复。如果不能赴宴,须明确说明原因,以便女主人可以有时间另作安排。下面是一份接受波特先生和夫人请柬的复函格式。
