Dialogue Script 1 对话原文 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.

讲解:

1. 侍者对顾客要一定的客气,所以当询问客人是否看完菜单并准备点菜时,要婉转地说,Have you had time to look over the menu? menu,菜单。

2. 在这里客人点了一份牛排。牛排,beef steak. 当询问客人牛排需要几成熟应该怎么说呢?对话中的原句是How would you like your meat cooked? 这是一个很有用的句型。

3. 客人回答Well done. 在一般情况下,well done的意思是"干得不错、干得漂亮",而在对话中,它是"完全熟"的意思,希望大家注意。

4. side salad,意为"作为配菜的沙拉";appetizer是开胃菜的意思。

讲解:

1. 这是一段关于客人就坐后进行点餐的对话。当你第一次到一家餐馆或者不知道该点什么菜时,通常可以让侍者为你推荐,在对话中,客人就是这样。一般在这种情况下,侍者往往会为你推荐那家餐馆的特色菜或者招牌菜。

2. daily chef's special,可以翻译为"每日大厨特别推荐",也就是这家餐馆的大厨每天推出的一道特色菜。Special在这里做名词,意为特色菜。而当天的daily chef's special就是fried chicken随后客人又问炸鸡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。
