就餐英语

Kaylee: do you want to go out for dinner tonight?

Nathan: sure. Have you got anywhere in mind?

K: I'm starving, so maybe we could go somewhere with large portions.

N: that Italian restaurant in the city centre always has large portions. Do you want to go there?

K: I'm not really in the mood for Italian, actually. I was thinking of something a bit spicy.

N: if you want spicy food, then I'd recommend going to a Thai, Indian or Chinese restaurant. How about that Chinese buffet on Cowley Road?

K: I really like that restaurant; you get a lot for your money there. But, they've westernized their food, so it's not actually that spicy.

N: you're right. Most of their dishes have sweet sauces. We could try that Indian restaurant just down the road from us.

K: the Taj? They're a bit expensive, but they do serve large portions of very hot food.

N: the Taj it is then.

K: shall we bring our own bottle of wine to save some money?

N: they'll still charge us a corkage fee.

K: that's right. It'll probably work out to be about the same then anyway.

N: don't worry about money. I'll treat you tonight.

K: are you sure? We could go Dutch.

N: no, I'll pay. It's my turn anyway. You paid last time.

K: I won't argue with that! Let's go!

你今晚想去外面吃饭吗?

当然想了.你心里想好去哪儿了吗?

我饿了,所以咱们去个饭量足的饭馆吧.

市中心的那家意大利餐馆给的菜量都很足.你想去那儿吗?

我今天实在不想吃意大利菜.我想吃点辣的.

如果你想吃辣的,那我建议你去泰国餐馆,印度餐馆或者中餐馆.要不去考雷路的中式自助餐厅怎么样?

我特别喜欢那家餐厅.在那儿总是物超所值.不过他们那儿做的菜已经有点西化了,不像原来那么辣了.

你说的没错.他们做的大部分菜都加了甜味酱汁.咱们可以去沿着这条路走下去的那家印度餐厅.“泰姬”?那家有点贵,但是他们家做的菜分量都很足.

那就泰姬吧.

咱们可以自己带酒过去吗?这样可以节省一点钱.

他们会收开瓶费的.

你说的对.有可能算完价钱跟在那儿点酒价钱一样.

N: we really were lucky. We got the last available table for two---and we didn't even have a reservation! Did you see the long lines behind us?

K: yeah, I'm glad that we didn't have to wait long. I'm starving!

N: let's take a look at the menu so we can order. Do you want to choose an appetizer for us to share?

K: what would you rather have, samosas or poppadoms?

N: I heard that one of their specialities is the samosa.

K: well, let's get a plate of those then.

N: sounds good. What are you going to have for your main course?

K: I think I might have a dahl.

N: what's in a dahl?

K: it's got chickpeas and vegetables in a spicy curry sauce with rice.

N: that sounds nice. Do you want to share some kebabs as well?

K: ok. How about some lamb kebabs?

N: that's my favourite. Do you want to have some wine or beer?

K: I think I'll have a beer.

N: ok, shall I flag down the waitress?

K: I wouldn't recommend it. I think we should wait until she comes round.

N: you're right. That might seem a bit rude. It's a good thing I've got you with me!

K: what would you do without me?

咱们真走运。能坐上最后一张两人桌---咱们根本就没预订！你看见我们后面排的那条长队了吗？

是啊，咱们不用等那么长时间，我真开心。饿死了。

咱们先看看菜单吧，这样才好点菜。你想不想选个开胃菜咱俩一起吃？

你想吃哪个？萨摩萨三角饺还是印式炸面包片？

我听说他们的招牌菜是萨摩萨。

哦，那咱们点一份好了。

听起来不错。你的主菜想点什么？

我想要一份蔬菜咖喱。

里面都有什么？

有用咖喱辣酱煮的鹰嘴豆和一些蔬菜，再配上一份米饭。

听起来很好吃。你想不想跟我分一点烤肉串？

行。羊肉怎么样？

我最爱吃羊肉了。你想不想喝点葡萄酒或者啤酒？

我想喝啤酒。

好了，咱们可以招手叫服务员过来吗？

我觉得不好。我们最好等她走过来的时候再叫她。
