2.表示原谅
常见表达:Not at all./Don't mention it. /Never mind about that./Forget it./That's OK./It doesn't matter. /Don't worry about it.
用法点津:用Never mind.作答时有时可表达说话人多少有点不高兴或无可奈何的意味。如:

十、邀请和应答(Invitations and responses)

with us?/Do come to play with us tomorrow./
Would you like to have a dinner with us this
evening?/Do you feel like taking a walk now?/
Won't you come in and sit down?/ I'd like to invite you to dinner this Saturday, Mr Smith.
用法点津:a.在发出"邀请"前常有一个引子,尤其在客气的场合,如可先这样问一下对方是否有空:Are you free this evening? b. Would you like to...和I'd like to invite you to...的句式较为客气,带有商量、询问的口气,多用于不知对方能否接受邀请的场合。

I'd love to, but I'm afraid I can't./I wish I could, but I'm too busy. /Thank you, but I'm afraid I must finish my homework first.
用法点津:a.接受他人邀请时通常还要表示一下感谢。b.如果是稍有保留地接受,可这样说:I will if I can./ It's very kind of you to invite me, but I'm not sure if I can come. c.拒绝他人的邀请一般不直接说No,而要婉言谢绝,并要声明自己是愿意接受"邀请"的,但因某种原因不能接受,并表示歉意或感谢。
