   在国外餐厅,除了会用恰当的点餐用语外,听懂服务员的一些特定话术十分重要,今天Jenny和Adam要教教你如何应对。


  国外就餐
  当你第一次去国外餐厅用餐时,可能会因为没有准备,对服务员说的一些话感到惊慌失措:
  Things that waiters say which will throw you off.
  今天我们就来模拟一下国外就餐的情景,帮你做好准备。
  到达餐厅
  在一些比较高级的餐厅门口,会有一位专门负责迎宾接待,管理预约的人:
  ma?tre d: /?me?t?r di?/ 侍应者,餐厅领班
  通常你会听到这两个问题:
  1.How many in your party? 你们一共多少人?
  这里的party不是派对的意思,而是指a group of people。
  2.Do you have a reservation 1? / Did you make a reservation with us?请问您有预约吗?
  如果你想回答“我用某某的名字预约”:
  It's under Jenny. 我用Jenny的名字预约了。
  点饮品
  在迎宾的带领下顺利地入座后,服务员就会来到你身边:
  Waiter: (男)服务生,侍者
  Waitress: (女)服务生,侍者
  通常他们会简单地打招呼,寒暄几句(small talk)
  3.How is your day going so far? 今天过得怎么样?
  你可以直接回答“good”或“so far so good”简短地结束寒暄。
  点餐之前服务员会询问是否要点一些饮品:
  4.Can I start you off with some drinks? 需要先点一些饮品吗?
  或询问你是否需要水:
  Sparkling 2 or still? : Sparkling指气泡水,Still是没有气泡的水
  这两种水都需要付钱,如果不想付钱也可以选择tap water:
  Tap water,please. 请给我一杯自来水。
  Tap water里一般都会加冰块,不想要冰块记得提醒服务员“No ice,please”。
  点餐
  点菜时服务员会给一点时间让你们看看菜单:
  5.Give you a moment with the menus.
  只需要回答“OK,thanks”,服务员就会先去帮你拿点好的饮品。
  饮品上齐后,服务员会询问你是否准备好点餐了:
  Are you ready to order? 你们准备好点餐了吗?
  为了体现友好和亲近,很多服务员都会用“We”来代替“You”
  6.Are we ready to order? 我们可以点餐了吗?
  如果还没想好,还需要一点时间:
  Sorry, could you give me another second?
  很多国外的餐厅除了菜单上的菜品之外,还会有一些当日特供:
  7.Our features today/we've got something special
  点菜时最常用的句式:
  I'll have... 我要...
  I'm gonna go with... 我要点...
  用餐时
  开始品尝菜肴时,服务员经常会过来问问吃得怎么样?
  8.How are the first few bites?
  如果嘴里正在品尝食物,可以礼貌地微笑,给一个手势,如果方便也可以直接回复:
  It's great. 很好吃。
  So far so good. 目前为止挺好的。
  买单
  最后到了买单的环节,服务员一般会询问:
  9.Bill separate 3 or together? 分开付还是一起付?
  付钱时,服务员会再开启一段small talk:
  10.What's your plan for the rest of the day? 今天还有什么计划吗?
  这时你只需友好地随意交谈几句即可:
  I've got no plans. 没有什么计划。
  I'm gonna take it easy tonight. 今晚就好好休息。
