Nevermind

B.I’dloveto

C.Pleasetomeetyou

D.Ican’tfindanyreason参考答案：B本题考察的是交际用语。A没关系（用来回答对方的道歉）；B我很高兴要做某事…（后面常常和but连用，表示委婉地拒绝）；C遇见你很高兴；D我找不到任何理由。句意：—为什么不在这里多待一会？—我想多待一会，的是我真得必须得走了。本句的关键词是but，说明本句表示的是委婉地拒绝对方。同时在to后面省略了stayherealittlelonger。故B正确。【试题延伸】交际用语的考查要根据上下文的含义以及逻辑关系，也要注意中西方文化在表达上的差异，要有跨文化的意识。同时要特别注意西方的文明礼仪在交际用语中的体现，同时也要把语法和句意相融合在一起，在平时的学习中要注意积累一些常见的交际用语的句式。【考点】考察交际用语
