Sounds great, I love pizza, can we have pizza tonight?

聽(tīng)上去太好了，我喜歡比薩，我們晚上去吃比薩好嗎？

2. 你很想去，但正好有其它事情(或其它原因)不能去：

That’s great, but I’m afraid I won’t be available tonight; can we make it some other time?

You’re so sweet, but may we fix another time, I don’t feel like going out tonight.

你真好，能重新安排個(gè)時(shí)間嗎，今晚有點(diǎn)不想出門。
