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. 侍者對顧客要一定的客氣,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。
