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
)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
