Congratulations. When is your wedding held?哇，恭喜你啊，你的婚礼是什么时候？When is...held?意为“...什么时候举行”？A: On the first day of next month. I'd like to invite you to be my bridesmaid.下个月初一，我想邀请你当我的伴娘。B: With pleasure. Go ahead, what should I do?那是我的荣幸，说吧，我都要做些什么？with pleasure一般用作应答语，“很荣幸”，“很乐意”。表示对对方的邀请或请求给予肯定答复。一般是用来指还没有做的事情。而My pleasure则是用于应答对方的感谢.A: Can you go pick a wedding dress with me this afternoon?今天下午可以陪我去挑婚纱吗？B: Oh, I'm afraid not today.

Tomorrow is Saturday.没关系，我们再约一个时间吧，就定在明天上午，明天是星期六。make it“约定时间”，“及时赶上”的意思，常用在口语Let's结构中。表示“成功”时是非正式语，通常表示“某人做事成功”，“某人的事业成功”。例句：Let's make it another time.让我们改个时间吧。B: Oh, I have a lot of laundry and housework tomorrow morning. How about tomorrow afternoon?明天上午我有一大堆衣服要洗，还要做家务，明天下午怎么样？laundry表示“（待洗，正在洗或者刚洗过的）衣物”A: I can't wait to wear a wedding dress, why don't you do the laundry tomorrow afternoon?我等不及要穿婚纱了，你明天下午洗吧。can't wait to do...表示“迫不及待做某事”，例句：I can't wait to see you.我忍不住想见你。B: Alright, whatever you say. 好吧，听你的。
