Subject：I will arrive on the dot.
迷你对话A: Hello! This is Ben speaking.
你好，我是Ben。
B: Ben, this is Terry. Tomorrow night a party will be held in my apartment. I hope you can come.
Ben，我是Terry。明天晚上我家有一个聚会，希望你能来。
A: Wonderful. I will arrive on the dot.
太好了。我会准时到的。
地道表达on the dot1. 解词释义Dot是“点”的意思，on the dot字面意思就是“压着点的”，也就是“准时的，刚好在时间到的时候来的，不早也不晚的”。这个短语很实用，例如：约会，商务会议，确定日程等。
2. 拓展例句e.g. She was told to arrive at 8 o’clock on the dot.
她被告知八点钟准时到达。
e.g. She was very angry that he did not arrive on the dot; he had promised to.
他没准时到，这使她非常生气。他答应过准时到的。
e.g. The 3 o' clock train arrived on the dot.
三点的火车准时抵达。
e.g. She arrived at the airport at nine o'clock on the dot.
她于九点准时到达机场。
Ps：hold a party的意思是“举办晚会”，相当于have a party。再如：
I'd like to hold a party for her in my room.
我想在房间里为她开个生日会。
They hold a party in celebration 1 of their victory 2.
他们举行晚会以庆祝胜利。
n.庆祝，庆祝会；典礼
- The celebration passed off successfully.庆祝活动圆满结束。
- The celebration of Christmas is a custom.庆祝圣诞节是一种习俗。
