點菜有兩種方式,一是a la carte(隨意點菜),一是tabled' hote或fixed price meal(份飯,套餐),后一種有幾道固定的菜肴和飲料,價格也是固定的。它的優點就是方便快捷,點菜時只需指著菜單說:
Please give me this one.
。ㄕ埥o我來這個。)
We want two number eights, please.
。ㄎ覀円姆莸诎颂撞汀#
在點菜之前,一般先要份菜單:
May I have a menu, please?
。ㄎ铱梢钥床藛螁幔浚
如果不急于點菜,可以在服務生問到:
Can I take your order now?
。悻F在叫點什么嗎?)
回答:
Not quite. Could I have a few more minutes?
(不,我可以再多等會嗎?)
需要叫菜時,可以說:
Please take my order.
。ㄕ埥邮茳c菜。)
如果對當地的菜肴不熟悉,可以問:
What is the specialty of the restaurant?
。ㄟ@家店的招牌餐是什么?)
Do you have any special meals today?
(今天有什么特餐嗎?)
What would you recommend? I prefer something light.
(我想來點清淡些的,你能推薦什么嗎?)
也可以讓同來的人替你作主,或是點重復的飯菜:
I'll leave it to you.
(我讓你來點。)
I'll have the same as that one.
(我要一份和那個一樣的。)
自己點菜可以更隨意些,例如:
A. Could you tell me how this thing is cooked?
。芊窀嬖V我這道菜是怎么做的?)
B. Lobster? It's steamed and served with our special sauce.
。埼r?蒸過后加上本店特制的調味料。)
