【2】 You can say like “Thanks for inviting me to your party.” or “Thank you so much for the invitation.” But if you want to refuse the invitation, you should add some words like “But I’ m afraid I can’t come.”

【3】 You can say, “I’ve got too much at that time.” If you are in another city at that time, you could say, “I’m not in town on that day.”

Finally, give another time to meet. For example, your friend asks you out for a drink on Friday. You could say, “I’m afraid I can’t make it on Friday. 【4】”

【2】C

【3】A

【4】B

【5】E

【解析】

本文告诉我们如何拒绝他人的邀请。

【1】句意：然而，有时你可能需要拒绝邀请。

根据其前“It’s easy to accept an invitation.”与其后“So it’s important to let the host know in a way that he won’t be sad or worried.”可知，此处与前文接受邀请意义相反，表述拒绝邀请的含义。故选F。

【2】句意：首先，感谢主人邀请你。

根据“You can say like ‘Thanks for inviting me to your party.’ or ‘Thank you so much for the invitation.’”可知，此处表示“感谢他人邀请”的含义。故选C。

【3】句意：然后把你的理由告诉主人。

根据后文“You can say, ‘I’ve got too much at that time.’ If you are in another city at that time, you could say, ‘I’m not in town on that day.’”可知，此处在说明理由。故选A。

【4】句意：不过我星期天有空。

根据“Finally, give another time to meet.”和“I’m afraid I can’t make it on Friday.”可知，周五没空，所以要改约一天。故选B。

【5】句意：所以，请礼貌并表示你的尊重。

根据“Make sure everything goes well when you need to refuse an invitation”及全文内容可知，本文主要告诉我们如何拒绝他人的邀请，所以此处表示“所以，请礼貌并表示你的尊重”的含义。故选E。
