  Notes 注 释

  1.Peace Restaurant 和平饭店

  2.a table for two 一张两人桌

  3.Western food 西餐

  现在常见的外国快餐还有:

  Kentucky Fried Chicken 肯德基炸鸡

  McDonalds 麦当劳

  中餐有:

  Cantonese dishes 粤菜

  Sichuan cuisine 川菜

  4.please be assured that… 请放心……

  5.I appreciate it if… 如果……我将不胜感激。

  6.under the name of… 以……的名义

  7.Taste Garden 风味园(酒楼名)

  8.How many of you are coming?

  请问是几位客人?

  本句用现在进行时表将来,是英语口语中的习惯用法。可用于这样的动词通常是表示趋向的动词。

  如:I'm leaving for Shanghai this evening.

  我今天晚上要去上海。

  9.We'll keep the table for you until 7∶20.

  句中的until是介词,意思是“到……时候为止”。该句的意思是:如果到7点20分你(们)还没有来,我们就不保留餐桌了。

  如:I can't finish my work until 9 in the evening.

  要到晚上九点我才能干完活。

  10.Is there anything I can do for you?

  我能为您效劳吗?

  这是接待顾客时常用的客套话,类似这样的客套话还有:

  Can I help you?

  What can I do for you?

  11.How much would you like to pay for each person?

  您打算按多少钱一位客人?

  西方习惯是一桌酒席是按每位客人的平均支出计算,我国一般则按酒席的总价计算。所以,当服务员问:How much do you want to pay for the dinner? 您打算定多少钱一桌的酒席?你就要主动告诉服务员你事先与经理商量好的价位预订酒席。

  12.with pleasure 乐意效劳

  13.excluding drinks 不包括酒钱或酒另算钱

  14.welcome 不客气,在这儿的意思相当于“not at all”。

  15.What is to be on the menu

  动词 be+ to do 表示按计划将要发生的事。

  本句是名词性从句,意思是“我们计划要列入的菜名”。

  如:What is to happen is to happen.

  要发生的事总是要发生。
