I just got an e-mail from Bill and Jane. We've been invited to their
20th anniversary party this weekend. Are we going?
★ That's a two-hour drive from here, and we're not that close to them,
anyway.
✩: Well, we can't just say we're not interested.
★ : I know. I'll tell them I've got to write a report. That's not a complete
lie. I do have to work on it sometime this weekend. ofloo bus
:OK. I'll let them know. But I think we should send them a small gift
and card, though.
★: Good idea.
Question: What does the man suggest they do?

[That]'s a two-hour drive from here, and we're not [that] close to them, anyway.
① That(代名詞)：文の主語で、前文の内容＝彼ら(ビルとジャーン)の家のある場所 を表す。　
② not that(副詞：それほど) close(形容詞：近い) to them － 意味：彼らにそれほど近くはない
文の意味：★彼らの家はここから車で2時間かかるし、とにかくそんなに近くないよ。

参考にしてください。
