商務英語口語每天三句半 商務交往 第166期:取消約會

3句英文任你選

I'm sorry I can't keep our appointment because something unexpected has come up.
對不起，我們的約會我不能去了，因爲出了一點意外的事。

I'm sorry to inform you that I have to cancel the lunch date with you.
很抱歉告訴你，我不得不取消和你的午餐約會。

It looks as if I won't be able to keep the appointment we made.
看來我不能赴約了。

半個句型要記牢

keep one's appointment(遵守約定)

Tip:

keep是最常用的動詞之一，其含義豐富，與其搭配的短語也很多，作及物動詞時可表示"保留，保持，賠養，經營，使……處於某種狀態(情況) " 等，如 We'd better keep a seat for him. (我們最好給他留個座位)，在例句中是"履行，遵守"的意思，如keep one's promise. (信守承諾)。
