爱华网 吃和说有相辅相成的效果.相谈甚欢时,食物吃起来就倍感美味.同样,美味佳肴当前,谈起话来就更加投缘.在餐厅里,有许多英语表达可以派上用场,这样既可以积累丰富你的英语知识,又可以提高英语实际应用能力,还能增加食欲.下面便是一些你在用餐时会用到的英语句子:
(1)点和别人同样的菜
I'll have the same. ( 我要同样的东西.)
这个句子表示要和同伴点同样的菜肴.如果看不太懂菜单时,看看邻座的菜说That looks delicious. What is it?(那道菜看起来不错,是什么呢?) 之后加上I'll have the same.也是一种妙法.
(2)点菜
I'll take this "Steak Dinner." I'd like it medium-rare.(我要这个牛排餐.我要嫩的.)
此句也可以用I'll have <I'd like (to order)>….如果想要中式的吃法时,就说We're going to share a Seafood Combination and a Caesar Salad.(我们要海鲜总汇和恺撒沙拉.) 服务生就会用大盘(plates)端上来.
点牛排时常常被问到How would you like your steak?(几分熟?)这时可以说I'd like it medium-rare. (我要五分熟.)或Well-done, please.(全熟的.)
(3)要求更换刀叉
Excuse me, but could you bring me another fork. Please? (对不起,请你再拿一支叉子给我.)
也可以说May I have another one ?(再给我一支叉子好吗?)
(4)要一杯水
Could I have a glass of water? (能不能给我一杯水?)
要用东西时,就用Would <Could/Can>you bring me... ?(能不能把……拿来给我?) 或者Could <May/Can>I have... ?(能给我……吗?)大家都想要的话,就说 We'd like some water, please.(给我们来点水.)
(5)表示对菜肴的赞成
Yes, it was very good. Thank you. (很好,谢谢!)
用餐后,服务员会问Did you enjoy your dinner ?(菜合不合胃口?)你就可以用上一句回答.在用餐当中,服务员也许会问How's everything?这个时候可以用It's delicious<very good >.Thank you. 来回答.
(6)剩下的菜打包带回
Can I have a food bag? (给我一个打包袋.)在餐厅用餐有剩菜时,可以向服务员要食品袋,将食物带回家.因此,在用完餐之后常常可以听到:I'd like to have a food bag.
(7)埋单
Could I have the check , please ?(我要买单.)
用餐后,就等服务员拿帐单(check/bill)来.等服务员说完Anything else?(您还要什么吗?) 时,可以用上面一句说要埋单,只说Check, please. 也行.用手势向站在远处的服务员表示要埋单也是一个好办法.
(8)付帐
Can I pay by credit card? (我可以用信用卡付帐吗?)
有些餐馆要到柜台(cashier)付帐.如果不知道柜台的位置,就问Where can I pay?出差的时候,不要忘记要求Could I have a receipt?(能给我收据吗?)
在用餐中,所使用或听到的英语,就如同菜肴美味一般地深深印在脑海,长久不忘.希望你能在用餐中使用流利的英语,吸收知识和菜肴的双重营养,使美味的佳肴更加可口.
