[鮑勃]經(jīng)常向我提起[王暉]，并經(jīng)常談到與他[同住一室/為隊(duì)友]是多么愉快。雖然我還沒
有見過他，但因?yàn)槁牭接嘘P(guān)他的事情多，好像已經(jīng)認(rèn)識(shí)他了。

But unfortunately I expect guests myself on [Friday， the seventh of May]；
and therefore cannot accept your invitation for luncheon on that day.
It was thoughtful of you to invite me， and I am extremely sorry I cannot ac
cept， I do hope you will ask me again some time！
Sincerely yours，

母親我當(dāng)然覺得十分榮幸！
但是很不湊巧：在[5月7日（星期五）]我自己要招待客人，因此就不能接受您在那天的
