如何用英语点菜
英语课
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 1 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。)i'll have the same as that one.
(我要一份和那个一样的。)自己点菜可以更随意些,例如:
a. could you tell me how this thing is cooked?
(能否告诉我这道菜是怎么做的?)b. lobster 2? it's steamed and served with our special sauce.
(龙虾?蒸过后加上本店特制的调味料。)a. is it good?
(好吃吗?)b. sure. it's a most popular dish.
(当然,很受欢迎的。)a. i think i'll try some lobster, and give me some green salad together.
(我想我来点儿吧。再给我一份蔬菜沙拉。)b. we have three dressings 3 for salad. which one would you like ?
(我们有三种沙拉调味汁,您要哪种?)a. what kind do you have?
(你们有什么?)b. we have italian, french and thousand island.
(有义大利,法国和千岛的。)a. make it french please.
(给我法式的吧。)
