开始学习

get together (with + people); get together for + coffee/dinner; a get-together (noun)

  • The whole team gets together on Friday afternoons to discuss the week.
  • Let's get together for coffee next week; I want to hear about your new job.

修改原因

修改前We're having a small meeting with old friends at my place on Saturday.

修改后We're having a small get-together with old friends at my place on Saturday.

只要有人见面,就容易想到 meeting。但 a meeting 通常让人想到有议程的工作会议或商务会面。说与老朋友相聚,用 get-together 或动词结构 we got together 更贴切。

Cambridge Dictionary

Get together 表示见面相聚;get along 表示关系融洽:We get along well, so we often get together at weekends。口语中 meet up 也很常见:Let's meet up after work。
