招待客人時的十句客套話
Ten Ritual Sentences to Entertain Guests
1. 歡迎光臨，有失遠迎。
huān yíng guāng lín yǒu shī yuǎn yíng
Welcome!
It is a traditional Chinese greeting, usually for formal occasions. The literal translation is "Welcome (to my home), and (sorry for) not going out to welcome you." Another formulaic expression "大駕光臨，有失遠迎，恕罪恕罪" may be used on very formal occasions.
2. 您的到來真是讓我們蓬蓽生輝啊。
nín de dào lái zhēn shì ràng wǒ men péng bì shēng huī a
The literal translation is "Your presence brings light to my humble dwelling". It is a traditional way to express the host's pleasure to welcome the guests, also for formal occasions.
Difference in Chinese and English can be seen in the use of personal pronouns. Chinese has two second-person pronouns, i.e. "你" and "您" with the latter being more polite, whereas English has only one form, i.e. "you".
3. 你能來真是太好了。
nǐ néng lái zhēn shì tài hǎo le
Literal translation: I'm really glad that you could come.
It is a common casual way to welcome people.
4. 在我這兒別見外。
zài wǒ zhèr bié jiàn wài
"見外" means "to regard somebody as an outsider". The literal translation is "please don't regard yourself as an outsider when you are here". Its English equivalent is "Please make yourself at home."
5. 你想喝點兒什麽？
nǐ xiǎng hē diǎnr shén me
What would you like to drink?
Chinese tea is the most common drink that can be served on such occasions, but the younger generation usually prefers coffee, beer or plain water.
6. 請隨意。
qǐng suí yì
Please help yourself.
7. 再多吃點吧。
zài duō chī diǎn ba
Have some more, please.
It is a very typical Chinese way of entertaining guests. Chinese often express their hospitality by persuading guests to eat more and drink more.
8. 失陪一會兒。
shī péi yī huìr
Excuse me for a moment.
9. 再呆會兒吧，這麽早就走嗎？
zài dāi huìr ba，zhè me zǎo jiù zǒu ma
Why not stay a little bit longer? Must you leave so soon?
It is hard to say goodbye. Chinese people usually persuade guests to stay for a bit longer to show that they enjoy their company. And often, they do it a few times.
10. 慢走，下次再來啊。
