Dialogue Script 1 對話原文 1
Waitress: Have you had time to look over the menu?
Wayne: Er, yes. I would like the beef steak.
Waitress: How would you like your meat cooked?
Wayne: Well done, Please.
Waitress: Would you like a side salad?
Wayne: No.
Waitress: Anything else to drink?
Wayne: Yes. A glass of your house wine.
Waitress: Very good. I will bring your appetizer immediately.
講解:
1. 侍者對顧客要絕對的客氣,所以當詢問客人是否看完菜單并準備點菜時,要婉轉(zhuǎn)地說,Have you had time to look over the menu? menu,菜單。
2. 在這里客人點了一份牛排。牛排,beef steak. 當詢問客人牛排需要幾成熟應該怎么說呢?對話中的原句是How would you like your meat cooked? 這是一個很有用的句型。
3. 客人回答Well done. 在一般情況下,well done的意思是"干得不錯、干得漂亮",而在對話中,它是"完全熟"的意思,希望大家注意。
4. side salad,意為"作為配菜的沙拉";appetizer是開胃菜的意思。

講解:
1. 這是一段關于客人就坐后進行點餐的對話。當你第一次到一家餐館或者不知道該點什么菜時,通常可以讓侍者為你推薦,在對話中,客人就是這樣。一般在這種情況下,侍者往往會為你推薦那家餐館的特色菜或者招牌菜。
2. daily chef's special,可以翻譯為"每日大廚特別推薦",也就是這家餐館的大廚每天推出的一道特色菜。Special在這里做名詞,意為特色菜。而當天的daily chef's special就是fried chicken隨后客人又問炸雞特餐包含有什么配菜,What side dish comes with the special? side dish 就是正菜外的附加菜。
