能“喂饱”你的英语
1. I'd like to make a reservation. 在一些餐馆中，你需要事先订位。准备好告诉餐馆你们一共有多少人，你会到达的时间及你的名字。"I’d like to make a reservation for four at 8 p.m. for Kristi."前台接待可能会问你的联系电话或是你是否需要吸烟区，事先考虑好这些信息。
2. Could you repeat that, please?这个短语并不止用于在外用餐，但是却是非常之重要。餐厅可能很吵。服务生说话也可能很快。如果你没有听懂什么，就问他们，"Could you repeat that?"当然，简单说，"Excuse me?"也可以。别怕用的太多！
3. We need another minute.如果服务生请你点菜而你还没有决定的话你就可以使用这短语。你会听到，"Are you ready to order?"用"Not yet. We need another minute,"或是"Can we have another minute?"回答。注意"a minute"在一个繁忙的餐馆里通常意味着服务生会在五分钟后回来为你点菜。
4. I'd like/I'll have ...这是两句最重要的短语！使用"I'd like …"或是"I'll have …" 在点菜或是点饮料的时候。例如， "I'd like the spaghetti and some tea,"或是"I'll have a sandwich and a soft drink."手指着菜单也总是能让人明白的！
5. Could you bring …?/Do you have …?如果你要更多的物品，就说，"Could you bring some extra napkins?" 如果你想要什么东西但是不确定餐馆是否有的话就试着说，"Do you have …?" 例如，如果你想要橙汁但是菜单上没有的话，就问， "Do you have orange juice?"
6. This isn't what I ordered.如果服务生送错了菜，就说，"This isn't what I ordered, I ordered …"接着说你点的菜。这并不常见，但是如果真的发生的话，注意要说些什么来纠正
7. Check, please!当你准备要走时，捕捉到服务生的注意同时说， "Check, please!"作为你用餐短小而简单的结束语。
Survival English for eating out
1. I'd like to make a reservation. For some restaurants, you’ll need to call in advance to secure a table. Be prepared to give the number of people in your group, the time you will arrive and your name. "I’d like to make a reservation for four at 8 p.m. for Kristi." The receptionist may ask for your phone number or about your smoking preference, so have this information ready.
2. Could you repeat that, please? This phrase isn't unique to eating out, but it's very important. Restaurants can be loud. Waiters talk fast. If you don't understand something, ask them, "Could you repeat that?" Of course, a simple, "Excuse me?" will also work. Don’t be afraid to use it often!
3. We need another minute. Use this phrase if the waiter approaches to take your order, but you’re not ready. You’ll hear, "Are you ready to order?" Respond with, "Not yet. We need another minute," or "Can we have another minute?" Be aware that "a minute" in a busy restaurant usually means the waiter will return in five.
4. I'd like/I'll have ... These are the two most important phrases! Use "I'd like …" or "I'll have …" when ordering your food and drinks. For example, "I'd like the spaghetti and some tea," or, "I'll have a sandwich and a soft drink." Pointing at the menu always works, too!
5. Could you bring …?/Do you have …? If there's something you need or would like more of, say, "Could you bring some extra napkins?" If you'd like an item you’re not sure the restaurant has then try, "Do you have …?" For example, if you want orange juice but don’t see it listed, ask, "Do you have orange juice?"
6. This isn't what I ordered. If the server brings you the wrong dish, say, "This isn't what I ordered, I ordered …" and continue with the name of the dish you wanted. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, make sure you do something about it.
7. Check, please! When you're ready to go, catch the waiter's attention and say, "Check, please!" for a short and simple end to your meal.
