待客
非常高兴今天你能光临。
非常高兴你们能来。
大家一直在恭候你。
把你的外衣给我。
里面比较暖和，你可以把大衣留在这。
你看，我一直在殷切盼着你呢。
今天的招待会是为你们举行的。
一会儿大家就上菜。
不朗先生在门口和客人说话呢。
琼斯太太正在大厅里忙着和其他女性们交谈。
大卫今晚会来的。
他们一会儿来。
朱克斯先生正在路上。
大家已派车去接他了。
我想他会准时来这儿用晚餐的。
我想你肯定想在这儿交朋友吧。
请再找个地方好同客大家聊聊。
这会儿在人群里非常难找到他。
需不需要给你来一杯喝的什么的？
你们接着谈吧，我还要去门口迎客。
既然你们是同行，你可以和他们聊聊。需不需要我给你引见一下？
对不起，我来迟了。
史密斯先生临时有急事要处置，他让我替他前来做客
