问题 On my return to the office this morning after being away for a few days,I found your kind invitation of the 1st October awaiting me，for which I thank you．I should like to have been in a position to accept your invitation,but unfortunately due to a prior engagement with some overseas friends，it will not be possible to do so．
选项
答案 我外出了几天，今天上午回到办公室发现了您10月1日的邀请信，对此我深表感谢。本应该非常高兴地接受您的邀请，但不巧的是我已经和一些海外的朋友有约在先，恐不能赴约。
解析 ①在翻译该短文时应注意文体特征。该短文应该是对一封邀请信的回复函，属于正式文体的英文书信，所以在翻译成汉语时要特别注意汉语的措词，要求译文采用正式用语。②第1个长句中的时间状语after being away for a few days根据汉语的习惯在翻译时要放在前面，句末的定语从句for which I thank you在正式文体中应翻译成“对此我深表感谢”。③第2个长句中的原因状语due to a prior engagement with some overseas friends，在翻译时要增译主语“我”，due to a prior engagement直译为“由于之前的约定”在这里意译为“有约在先”，it will not be possibleto do so在正式文体中应翻译成“恐不能赴约”。
