请看:

We have a standing invitation to visit them anytime.(正)

We have a standing invitation of visiting them anytime.(误)

他们邀请我们随时去他们家作客。

分析:invitation后接动词时只接to do不定式,表示“受邀做某事”;并不能接of doing形式。类似词语还有:decision, determination, willingness, resolution等,如:

I have an open invitation to visit my friend in Japan.

我在日本的朋友邀请我随时去看他。

I had an invitation to go and talk to the cadets.

我应邀去和军校学员谈话。

Philip refused his uncle’s invitation to go down to Blacktable.

飞利浦拒绝了他叔叔请他去布鲁克特布尔的邀请。

Elizabeth had a standing invitation to stay with her.

伊丽莎白受到邀请,可以随时去她家住。

The Syrians have not yet accepted an invitation to attend

叙利亚人还没有接到出席邀请。《柯林斯高阶英汉双解学习词典》

总感觉应该译为:

叙利亚人还没有明确接受出席邀请。(这里的接到邀请应该是get、receive)

We would appreciate confirmation of your refusal of our invitation to take part.

若您确认拒绝我们的邀请不能参加,我们将感激不尽。

当然invitation to+sth;也是地道用法:

It would be most ungracious and impolite to refuse a simple invitation to supper with him.

连与他共进晚餐这样的简单邀请都拒绝会显得非常失礼,没有教养。

I declined his invitation to dinner.

他要请我吃饭,我推却了。

He will have received an invitation to the wedding as well.

你肯定也会收到参加婚宴的邀请的。

She had wangled an invitation to the opening night.

她弄到了一张首映之夜的请柬。

顺便说一下:

Invitation of +人或组织机构团体;表示:某人或组织机构团体的邀请,如:

I visited Japan in 2023 at the invitation of the Foreign Minister.

应日本外相的邀请,我于2023年访问了日本。
