词语用法

1. invite常表示“邀请”，一般用于不会劳累，却使人开心的事，例如演唱，跳舞，聚餐等，但是不适用于“请人教授”，“请人诊病”或者是“请人帮忙”；
2. 在写信给被邀请的人的时候，一般不用invite，而是用ask。如果是第三人称作为主语的时候，可以用invite。

   I ask you to dinner tomorrow.
   He has invited me to dinner tomorrow.

3. 可以说invite sb to...，也可以说invite sb for...，但是前者的用法比较普遍；
4. invite有两层含义：invite sb to加名词，表示“邀请某人参加某项活动”，to后直接加名词，不属于不定式。invite sb to do sth，表示“邀请某人做某事”，to后接不定式。

v. (动词)

1. invite的基本意思是有礼貌地要求某人去某地或做某事,这种要求对被邀请者来说,一般是令其愉快的,至少是不反感的,而且往往是给予犹豫不决的人提供一个机会。引申则可表示以言语挑逗、物质引诱或优惠政策等吸引他人到某地或做某事。invite还可表示“导致某事”或“引诱,怂恿”等。
2. 在非正式书面语中, invite能引起直接引语,意思是“撺掇着说道”。
3. invite是及物动词,可接名词或代词作宾语,也可接以动词不定式充当补足语的复合宾语,可用于被动结构。
4. invite的现在进行时可以表示按计划、安排或打算将要发生的动作,这时往往有特定的上下文,或与表示将来的时间状语连用。
5. invite的过去分词invited可用作形容词,在句中作定语。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

invite for, invite to

• 这两者的区别在于:后者比前者更正式,请人吃便饭、小酌用for,正式宴会用to。另外,“征求意见等”只能用for。

invite, call, convene, convoke, muster, summon

• 这组词都表示“召开,召集”。其区别是：
• convene的词义比较广,既可指召集某个团体,也可指单独调某人; 而convoke所表示的召集意思更正式,更具权威性,而且所召集的机构往往有权通过决议或有执行权; call和summon只用于指召集政权机构、正式会议等,而不用于指召集某些人,但summon的主体一般是有权的,要召集的态度也更坚决; muster不是表示召集,而是调集很多人于一地,它跟本组其他词的不同在于:它往往表示为检阅、演习等目的而调集,客体带有军事性质; invite则是客气地邀请,被邀者出席与否可以自愿选择。

invite, ask for

• 这两个词(组)的共同意思是“邀请,请求”。其区别是：
• invite多指请人做不很劳累甚至有时是使人高兴的事,如请跳舞,参加晚会、吃饭、谈谈意见等; ask for意为“请,请求”,多指请求做需要付出努力的事。例如:
• He felt sore about not being invited to the party.他为没有被邀请参加晚会而恼火。
• With that he asked for their help.他接着就请求他们帮助。

下面两个句子的意思是一样的:

• Your manner does not invite approach.
• You do not invite approach by your manner.
• 你的举止使人难以接近。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 这老人为他的两个儿子聘请了一位家庭教师。

   误 The old man has invited a tutor for his two sons.

   正 The old man has engaged a tutor for his two sons.

   析 “聘请”教师应该用engage,不可用invite。

2. 她邀请我们大家参加她的生日聚会。

   误 She invited all of us for her birthday party.

   正 She invited all of us to her birthday party.

   析 表示“地点”或“场所”时invite后接to,表示“事情”时invite后可以接for或to。

3. 他收到一封来自美国的信,邀请他去一所著名的学院讲学。

   误 He received a letter from the U.S.A. invited him to teach in a well-known institute there.

   正 He received a letter from the U.S.A. inviting him to teach in a well-known institute there.

   析 在本句中invite在句中作定语,修饰letter,因此要用现在分词短语作定语。
