A: What would you like to eat, Sir?

先生，你想吃点什么？

B: I don't see anything I like. What are your specialties? Or what would you recommend?

我并没有看到任何我想吃的，你们这里的特色菜是什么，或者你有什么推荐的吗？

What are your specialties?意为“你们的特色菜是什么？”，当你不知道该点什么菜的时候，这句话很实用哦。

A: Our specialty is roast fish. I suggest you have a taste(of it). It's really good.

我们的特色菜是烤鱼，我建议您品尝一下，味道真的很不错。

have a taste意为“尝一尝”，“品尝一下”，有两种常见形式：一，have a taste of...，指“品尝...”,of后面加食物；二是have a taste for指“爱好，对...有兴趣”。

B: That sounds good, but I only like roast lamb. Do you serve it here?

听上去很不错，不过我只喜欢烤羊肉，你们这里有吗？

A: No, I'm afraid not. However, many customers have advised our boss to add this dish, so you have a hope of having it next week.

恐怕没有，不过很多顾客都建议我们老板增加这个菜品，所以有希望下一个星期就能吃到它了。

have a hope of意为“有希望做某事，做某事是有希望的”

B: Awesome.

真棒。

A: How about trying our lobster?

那您尝一下我们这里的龙虾怎么样？

B: I'm not a fan of lobster. Actually, I don't like it at all. What else could you recommend?

我不是龙虾爱好者，实际上我根本就不喜欢它，还有其他推荐的吗？

be a fan of意为“...的爱好者，是...的粉丝”，of后面跟喜欢的事物或者人。

A: How about salad? And you can have some dessert afterwards.

色拉怎么样？然后您可以来点甜点。

B: Forget it. I prefer soup. What kind of soup do you have?

算了吧，我更喜欢喝汤，你们这里有什么种类的汤？

A: There are soup with meatballs and old-fashioned vegetable soup.

有丸子汤，还有老式蔬菜汤。

B: I'm not fussy about vegetables and it sounds very delicious. Old-fashioned vegetable soup, please.

我对蔬菜不挑剔，听起来也很美味，给我来一份老式蔬菜汤吧。

be fussy about意为“对...挑剔，对...苛刻”。作“对...挑剔”解时与be picky about为同义词组。

A: Okay, anything else?

好的，其它的还要吗？

B: I'd like some dessert that is not very sweet.

我想要一些不是特别甜的甜点。

A: What about fresh fruit tart?

水果蛋挞，怎么样？

B: Alright, that's it.

好吧，就这些吧。

that's it意为“好了，够了”。在国外点餐后经常说，或者用that's all, that's everything.来表示“就这些”。

A: OK. Just a moment, please.

好的，请稍等。
