On New Year's Eve (spent in our apartment), she asked me to put on a black bow tie and dinner jacket.

新年的前夜(我们在公寓度过)，她要我打上黑色蝴蝶结领带并穿上无尾礼服。

If, however, you are invited to a formal affair, such as a so-called "sit-down" dinner, you may want to know in advance some basic rules of "black tie" etiquette.

然而，如果你应邀参加一个正式场合，例如所谓的“安排就座”晚宴，也许你会想事先知道一些正式宴会礼节的基本规范。

I liked McCarthy more than I expected to, especially after he loaned me a pair of shoes to wear to the black-tie Women’s Press Dinner, which I think the Dudman’s got me invited to.

特别在他借了他的一双鞋子给我之后。 我借鞋子是为了去参加一个“新闻界女子晚宴”，因为这个晚宴要求出席者穿正装。

If the invitation says black tie this means a dinner suit for men with a black or white bow tie.

如果邀请函上说黑色领结，这意味着男士穿晚宴套装并且佩带一个黑色或白色的蝴蝶结领结。
