解析：

(1)	an invitation to a dinner party參加宴會的請柬。
(2)	接受邀請。
(3)	be seated＝be sitting．
(4)	根據(jù)文章后面的coldly可以看出，這位女士的態(tài)度是由友好轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)槔涞�的�?/P>
(5)	從下文態(tài)度轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)槔涞�后的談話中，可知現(xiàn)在這位女土是有禮貌的。
(6)	根據(jù)常識，應為在第一道與第二道飯菜間。course為“一道飯菜”。
(7)	根據(jù)答語可判斷，此處不用表示“知道”、“認出”之意。
(8)	The one with glasses帶著眼鏡的那個人。
(9)	that代指那個人，含有輕蔑之意。
(10)	這句話是不禮貌的語氣。意為：“哦，那就是書記。我沒發(fā)現(xiàn)他有什么可值得我欽佩的�！�
(11)	女士的態(tài)度由此轉(zhuǎn)變，但Mr．Smith不顧她的冷淡繼續(xù)說下去。In spite of盡管，雖然，后接名詞，代詞。
(12)	因為是談論書記本人的情況，所以應用“得到職位(position)”。
(13)	hardly matters whether…＝It doesn’t matter whather…
(14)	當選這個職位，所以用chosen。
(15)	for為‘適合，勝任”之意�？偨y(tǒng)認為他是勝任這項工作的人，所以他在那個重要的位置。
(17)	此句意為“除非他是一個大傻瓜，否則，沒有人會做他做的事�！�
(18)	可用排除法，本句意為“她以非常莊嚴的口氣說道(表示維護自己的尊嚴)”。
(19)	根據(jù)常識，在得知他們是夫妻之后應該感到震驚(shocked)。
(20)	“謝天謝地，她還不知道我是誰，趕快走吧。”
