如何用英语点菜?
点菜有两种方式,一是a la carte(随意点菜),一是tabled' hote或fixed price meal(份饭,套餐),后一种有几道固定的菜肴和饮料,价格也是固定的。它的优点就是方便快捷,点菜时只需指着菜单说: Please give me this one. (请给我来这个。) We want two number eights, please. (我们要四份第八套餐。) 在点菜之前,一般先要份菜单: May I have a menu, please? (我可以看菜单吗?) 如果不急于点菜,可以在服务生问到: Can I take your order now? (你现在叫点什么吗?) 回答: Not quite. Could I have a few more minutes? (不,我可以再多等会吗?) 需要叫菜时,可以说: Please take my order. (请接受点菜。) 如果对当地的菜肴不熟悉,可以问: What is the specialty of the restaurant? (这家店的招牌餐是什么?) Do you have any special meals today? (今天有什么特餐吗?) What would you recommend? I prefer something light. (我想来点清淡些的,你能推荐什么吗?) 也可以让同来的人替你作主,或是点重复的饭菜: I'll leave it to you. (我让你来点。) |
