在国外，人们紧张的日常生活中总会穿插着各种各样的party，一个生日，一次升职，一次道别，都会成为开party的理由。现在的中国，尤其在大城市，也经常有这种洋为中用的做法。总是听见说哪里有派队(party的谐音)也许是因为生活太紧张也太繁忙的缘故吧，大家学会了忙中求乐。 Party有哪些种类，你知道吗？对了，比如有生日派队( birthday party )，婚礼派队( wedding party )，新年派队( New Year’s party )，圣诞派队( Christmas’ party )，欢迎派队( welcome party )，告别派队( departure party )等等。
