  People are not working during the New Year: 大家新年都放假了
  When it gets closer to Christmas, many people are travelling home, so you need to hold parties earlier: 临近圣诞,大家都要回家过节,所以要提前办,方便大家参与
  “提前”英语怎么说?
  Hold the party earlier
  不是in advance?
  In advance通产用在预定机票这样的搭配里,而不是办派对
  Book your tickets in advance
  Party RSVP: 收到派对邀约, 先要RSVP
  With any party or event invitation, you usually need to RSVP: 派对、活动邀约,通常都需要RSVP
  *RSVP来自法语的Répondez s'il vous pla?t Please respond的意思,即确认出席*

  Digital invitation/e-invite: 电子邀请函
  Mandatory 4 attendance 5: 强制出席
  Party dress code: 派对穿什么?
  Dress code: 着装要求
  Many parties and events will have a dress code: 很多派对、活动会有着装要求
  总体可分为:
  1) Casual: 休闲
  2) Formal: 正式
  先说休闲,也有很多类:
  Business casual: 商务休闲,通常要穿西服外套
  Smart casual: 雅痞休闲,不用穿西服外套也Ok
  Casual: 最休闲的
  Jacket/blazer:西服上装外套
  Suit: 整套西服

  但是,鞋子很重要!
  You need to wear dress shoes: 要穿正装皮鞋
  *这里的dress不是指裙子,而是正装的意思*
  Leather shoes: 皮鞋
  快收藏! 年底派对英语和礼仪
  说完休闲,说正式:
  Formal: 正式
  Black tie: 最正式的,通常指宴会,比一般西服更加隆重的黑西服、黑领带、或者领结
  Black tie doesn't mean you can only wear ties in black: 黑领带也不是说一定要黑色的领带
  Black is the safest, other dark colors are fine: 黑色最安全,其它深色也可以
  Black tie means dressed up: black tie的寓意就是正装
  Dressed-up: 隆重打扮、盛装出席
  Bow tie:领结
  Tuxedo/tux: 晚装西服,比如结婚的时候会穿的那种
  Party dresses for the ladies: 各类女生小裙子
  LBD (little black dress):小黑裙,经典不出错
  LRD (little red dress): 小红裙,圣诞派对的绝佳选择
  Cocktail 6 dress/one piece: 派对小裙子,连衣裙
  Knee length dress: 及膝裙
  Floor length dress: 拖地长裙
  Evening gown: 晚装礼服裙
  挑选圣诞派对着装时,也可以融入各种圣诞颜色:
  Christmas colors: 圣诞色

  Choose what you look good in: 选一个你穿着好看的颜色
  Balance it out with some white: 可以用白色缓和一下
  The ugly Christmas sweater: 很丑的圣诞毛衣
  很多圣诞派对,会有这个搞笑的dress code:
  The ugly Christmas sweaters: 很丑的圣诞毛衣
  They look like a Christmas card: 这种毛衣看上去就像一张圣诞卡
  Very busy, lots of Christmas elements: 非常热闹、集合了各种圣诞元素
  The point is to be ugly and funny: 重点就是要难看、要搞笑
  The uglier, the better: 越丑越好
  Party gift exchanges: 圣诞派对送礼游戏
  这两个圣诞送礼游戏,你一定要知道:
  1) Secret Santa: 神秘圣诞老人
  2) White Elephant: 白色大象
  What's Secret Santa? 神秘圣诞老人
  Draw a name, buy them a gift, you're their secret Santa: 预先抽一个同事或朋友的名字,你要给他/她买礼物,你是他们的神秘圣诞老人
  思考一下:
  What are they like? 他/她是什么样的人?
  What will they like? 会喜欢什么东西?
  The person receiving the gift need to guess who their secret Santa is: 收到礼物的人要猜礼物是谁买的
  But you can also keep it a secret: 但是也可以保守秘密
  What's White Elephant? 白色大象是什么?
  Everyone buys a gift and brings it to the party: 每人买一个礼物,带到派对来
  Put all the gifts together: 所有礼物集合在一起
  Each person has a chance to pick or "steal" a gift: 每个人有机会选、抢一个礼物
  If you go first, you're screwed because someone else can steal it from you: 先选的人最倒霉,因为其他人可以抢你的礼物
  The important thing is to decide who goes first: 拿礼物的先后顺序很重要
  Paper rock scissors: 石头剪刀布
  Gift budget: 花多少钱买礼物?
  Gift budget: 礼物预算
  20 dollars is a common budget for office or social Christmas parties: 公司或社交类的圣诞派对,20美金是个普遍的预算
  Two main styles of gifts: 买什么礼物?两大套路
  由于圣诞派对上送礼有游戏属性,所以买礼物第一不用太贵;
  风格则可以二选一:
  Practical: 实用
  Prank 7: 创意或恶搞
  或者像Adam那样买一袋大米(a huge bag of rice), 合二为一、一举两得
  Don't party too hard: 不要玩太疯
  Generally speaking, performances are not part of Christmas parties: 一般圣诞派对参与者不需要表演
  The tone 8 of Christmas parties is more warm, friendly, enjoy people's company: 圣诞派对的基调一般比较温馨、友爱、陪伴
  Don't drink too much or party too hard: 别喝太多、玩儿太疯
  New Year's party is more about crazy partying and lots of drinking: 之后的元旦派对就比较疯狂、喝很多
  “玩儿得很疯”有两个有趣的说法,都和town有关:
  Go to town
  Paint the town red
  What to say? 圣诞祝福说什么?
  Christmas greetings and wishes: 圣诞祝福语
  最好用的当然就是:
  Merry Christmas!
  可以说Merry X'mas吗?
  X'mas通常用于非正式的书写,口语还是Christmas更常用
  这几年,美国也有很多人说:Happy Holidays! 节日快乐
  Since not everyone is a Christian 9: 因为不是所有人都信基督教
  It's very PC (politically correct): 是个很政治正确的说法
  But it makes some people really angry because they see their religion and culture not being respected: 但这也让很多人很生气,觉得自己的信仰被侵蚀
  Say both! 那就两个都说吧!
  Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
