H: Hi, Stella. How's everything going1?

G: Quite good. What about you?

H: Terrific2! You see, John and me have just moved to a new house. We are throwing a house-warming party this evening. Would3 you like to come?

G: Of course4 I'll come. I won't miss it for the world!

H: That'll be great!

Throw a party就是“举办派对”的意思，house-warming party可以翻译为“暖房派对”，通常在搬进新居后举行。歪果仁非常喜欢party，其名目也很多，最常见的当然是birthday party啦，其他比较有代表性的有bachelor party（单身派对），baby shower（宝宝派对），farewell party（欢送会），potluck party（家庭聚餐会）等等，以及各种特定主题的派对，例如Stella-dear party，就是为亲爱的Stella举办的一个特别的派对。Won't miss it for the world直译为“宁愿放弃全世界也不会错过你的派对”，可见情比金坚。
