定义
My offer is still on the table!: 我的提供仍然有效！
The invitation is on the table!: 你被邀请了！
示例
- "Susie : I'm not, and my offer to slap you in the face is still on the table Cheeter."
- "It's clear that you have mastered the ins and outs of the British pub, so I don't think you'll experience any cultural problems. I was amazed when you stood on the table and sang Abba songs with members of a women's rugby team. While this kind of behaviour may not be acceptable in front of your client, I'm sure you'll go down well with English girls!"
- "Well my offer is on the table."
- "So the invitation is on the table."

This means her offer to slap Philip is:
Susie's offer to slap Philip is 'still on the table'.
This means her offer to slap Philip is:
This means her offer to slap Philip is:
This is not what Susie is expressing when she tells Philip that her offer to slap him is still on the table. The idiom '(the offer) is still on the table' does not share a similar meaning with a 'generous offer'.
If an offer is 'still on the table', the offer is still 'valid' or 'available'. The expression 'on the table' can have various different meanings depending on the context. In an earlier discussion, Susan offered to slap Philip in the face. Here she is reiterating that she is still willing to slap Philip if he continues to be rude. The expression '(the offer) is still on the table' is a common one in business contexts. It expresses that a proposal or offer is still available or still valid.
This is not the best choice. A 'good deal' is a good price, or a good proposition in business. It cannot replace Susie's remark in the dialogue.
Although Susie is threatening to slap Philip, which is rather insulting, this is not what she means by her remark 'my offer to slap you is still on the table'.
Hmm. Not exactly.
