英语必学之。男女交往、社交活动篇。
英美文化社交
• 往来 往来：在通常情况下，他们对于送给自己 的礼品会毫不客气地收下，且要当着送礼 人的面当即打开，同时一方面感谢对方所 送的礼物，另一方面又说他是如何如何地 喜欢这件礼物，或说这件礼物是如何的美 观实用等
5.பைடு நூலகம்请招待
• 英美人招待客人一般不像中国人宴请客人一样那么讲究，简简单单 三四道菜就可以了。用餐时，一般主人会说：“Help yourself, please!”（“请吃。”即你想吃什么就吃什么。）英美人待客尊重个 人意志，讲究实事求是，一再问客人要不要食物或强塞食物给客人， 是很不礼貌的。 • 所以，当主人给你添菜或问你要什么时，如：“Would you like another piece of meat pie?”(“想再来一块肉馅饼吗？”)，如果你想吃 的话，可以直截了当地回答：“Yes, please!”或“Thank you. A piece of meat pie.”倘若你确实什么也不想吃，只需简单地说：“No. Thank you.”就可以了。而客人在用餐期间，一定要赞美主人所准备的 食物好吃，称赞主人的手艺好，否则不管你吃得多饱，主人都会不高 兴。典型的英语客套话是： 客人：It’s delicious.（味道好极了。）/ This meat is beautifully tender.(这肉鲜嫩可口。) 主人：Thank you. I’m glad you like it. (谢谢，我很高兴你喜欢吃。)

新课程英语第一册Unit1-世界各国见面礼仪
世界各国见面礼仪
• 人们相见，互相问好，世界上不论国 家大小都会有各自的见面礼仪。热情 的见面礼仪不但可以拉近彼此的距离， 而且可以显示一个人素质的高低。
• 握手是一种很常用的礼节， 一般在相互见面、离别、祝 贺、慰问等情况下使用。
• 握手是现在社会大多数国家 相见时最常用的礼节，广泛 运用于政要、商要和普通百 姓之间。行握手礼时，一般 要求主人主动，男士必须光 手，女士则可以戴手套。另 外，握手不能交叉。
4.拥抱礼
• 吻手礼：吻手礼源于古代 维京人用手向其日耳曼君 主递礼物的风俗，流行于 欧美上层社会，是一种仅 对贵族已婚妇女实施的礼 节。吻手礼一般在室内举 行，并且仅限于手腕以下 部位，一般是指背。
• 男子同上层社会贵族妇女 相见时，如果女方先伸出 手作下垂式，男方则将手 掌轻轻托起吻之；但如果 女方不伸手表示，则不吻。 如女方地位较高，男士要 屈一膝作半跪式，再提手 吻之。此礼在英法两国最 流行。
5.吻手礼
• 多见于西方、东欧、阿拉 伯国家，是亲人以及亲密 的朋友间表示亲昵、慰问、 爱抚的一种礼，通常是在 受礼者脸上或额上轻轻吻 一下。
• 接吻方式为：父母与子女 之间亲脸，亲额头；兄弟 姐妹、平辈亲友是贴面颊； 亲人、熟人之间是拥抱， 亲脸，贴面颊。在公共场 合，关系亲近的妇女之间 是亲脸，男女之间是贴面 颊，长辈对晚辈一般是亲 额头，只有情人或夫妻之 间才吻嘴。
澳大利亚人见面礼节
• 澳大利亚人见面习惯于握手，不过有 些女子之间不握手，女友相逢时常亲 吻对方的脸。澳大利亚人大都名在前， 姓在后。称呼别人先说姓，接上先生， 小姐或太太之类。熟人之间可称小名。
墨西哥人见面礼节
• 在墨西哥熟人见面时所采用的见面礼节，主要是 拥抱礼与亲吻礼。在上流社会中，男士们往往还 会温文而雅地向女士们行吻手礼。通常，他们最 惯于使用的称呼是在交往对象的姓氏之前，加上 “先生”、“小姐”或“夫人”之类的尊称。前 去赴约时，墨西哥人一般都不习惯于准时到达约 会地点。在通常情况下他们的露面总要比双方事 先约定的时间晚上一刻钟到半个小时左右。在他 们看来这是一种待人的礼貌。
与“约会”相关的英文
【导语】记得在念⼤学的时候看过⼀部电影，⽚名是《The Holiday》，讲述两个分别住在美国和英国的⼥孩⼦因为失恋想逃离，所以交换了住址，并在对⽅的国家中遇到了⾃⼰的爱情。
情节的真实性和可⾏性先暂且不谈，那⼀个半⼩时的浪漫感受带给很多⼈最直接的是⼀种⼴告效应，就是我们也都去追寻浪漫的爱情吧，看到⾃⼰喜欢的⼈⼤胆地发出约会邀请吧！1 She's a ten.在美剧⾥有时你会听到⼏个男孩⼦叽叽喳喳地议论看到的⼀位漂亮的⼥孩，他们会给⼥孩⼦打分数，10分为最完美最有魅⼒，于是这句话应运⽽⽣，严格说这有点物化⼥性的意思，所以建议绅⼠们谨慎使⽤，但是在⼝语⾥有时不⽤那么严肃，因为在你⼼⾥始终有个对他⼈的评判。
那么⼥孩⼦形容男孩⼦很帅怎么说呢，是⼀直讲的handsome吗，当然可以，这⾥介绍另⼀种选择，即美语⾥更常⽤的He's cute！这⾥的cute往往不是卖萌的意思，可以直接翻译成“他好帅哦！”2 Can I buy you a drink?酒吧是⼀个认识新朋友的地⽅，去掉⼈们对酒吧的偏见，确实有很多朋友喜欢把聚会安排在这个地⽅，⼈们带各⾃的朋友⼀起聊天，撞见爱情的⼏率也就增⾼了。
那么看到喜欢的⼥孩⼦，⼀种⽐较经典的搭讪⽅式就是请客喝⼀杯。
另外⼀个经典的约会场景是咖啡馆，句⼦就换成了Do you wanna grab a cup of coffee?3 It was an impulse.⼥孩⼦可以随便把⾃⼰的联系⽅式给⼀个向⾃⼰⽰好的陌⽣⼈吗，这其实是个⼈的价值观倾向，⽆所谓对错，但对于有些⼥孩⼦来说，尤其是从来没有给过陌⽣⼈号码然后因为看到⼀个很cute的男⽣⽽冲动了⼀次，然后给了号码⼜后悔，就⽤这句话安慰⾃⼰，“哎，刚才太冲动了”。
4 I think I'm gonna ask her out.Ask someone out是固定搭配，就是邀请约会的意思，⼀般两个⼈都会穿相对正式的⾐服去⼀家正式的餐厅吃饭，⼀次正式的约会称为date，在法语⾥称为rendezvous，不过说英语的国家⾥也经常⽤这个外来语，R&B歌⼿Craig David有⾸歌的名字就叫《rendezvous》，⾮常浪漫的⼀⾸单曲。

关于恋爱约会的一些英语
关于恋爱约会的一些英语1. have a crush on迷恋某人A:I'm having this huge crush on Ted. I'm going to try and see if Ican askhim out this weekend.A:我最近好喜欢Ted 喔!我想看看能不能约他这个周末出来。
B:Well...But I heard that he is already seeing somebody.B:嗯……但是我听说他已经有了交往的对象了诶!美国人关于交友的用词和我们有些不同。
这里的"he is seeing somebody"有可能指他刚正开始和某人交往,也可能指他和对方已经交往了一阵子。
还有一个美国人常用来形容他们的「感情状况」的字是"relationship"。
到目前为止，我还不能找到一个很贴切的中文来代替它。
不过,如果例句中的"...But I heard that he is already seeing somebody."改成"...But I heard that he is already is a serious relationship withsomebody."就惨了。
因为那表示这个叫Ted 的男生不但是「死会」了,而且是「非常地死会」。
各位应该可以大致抓到它的意思吧。
2. play hard-to-get欲擒故纵So she stood you up last night.A:结果,她昨晚放你鸽子啦?B:Well, I guess she's trying to play hard-to-get.B:嗯,大概想跟我玩「欲擒故纵」的游戏吧!"stand someone up"是「放某人鸽子」的意思。
"play hard-to-get"也可以说成"play tough-to-get"。

第一课男女关系我常觉得, 若要二个人聊天聊超过半小时, 却不讲到爱情或是男女之间的关系, 那么他们一定还不是真正的好朋友. 很多人都觉得来到美国都交不到知心的外国朋友, 或者跟老外聊天都不知道要聊什么, 其原因不外乎就是你们之间从不谈及男女之事, 让话题太过乏味. 所以你们的谈话也就会很快地结束. 这次我就来跟大家谈谈这方面的技巧, 例如: 当"电灯泡" 又要怎么说. 在此之前, 我自己都说过: I don't want to be a light bulb 好几次. 结果老美当然是听不懂我在说什么.1. I don't want to be the third wheel.我不想当电灯泡.一般的自行车都只有二个轮子, 要是有三个轮子呢? 没错, 那第三个轮子就是多余的. 所以Third wheel 就是美语中电灯泡正确的表示方法. 还有一个讲法, 叫I don't want to be the third arm. 这里不是说"三只手" 的意思, 而是和third wheel 一样, 都是电灯泡的意思.2. He is dating another girl on the side.他同时脚踏两条船.我想把这句说成I have my feet in two boats 的人也不在少数吧! 其实正确的说法应该是像这样, He is dating another girl on the side. 或是你可以说He is dating another girl behind her back. (这个her 指的是他女朋友的意思)On the side 这句话你去餐厅用餐时也常用到, 指的是主菜之外的副餐, 比如说I'd like salad with dressing on the side. 就是说我要沙拉和沙拉酱. 或是Would you like a baked potato on the side? 要不要再点一份烤马铃薯啊?3. I am the one-woman kinda man.我是那种从一而终的男人.在美国从一而终的人好像不多, 他们通常从高中就开始交男女朋友, 一直交到结婚, 中间不知改朝换代过多少次. 所以这句话是很难得听到的. 其实我比较常听的是one-man woman, 因为看来不论中外, 女生都比男生坚贞一点. kinda 在口语中常用, 它是kind of 的简写, kinda man 就是说那样的男人. 可以省略不说.还有一种用法叫We are exclusive. 这个exclusive 指的是排他的意思. 所以当一对情侣说, We are exclusive 时, 就是说我们心里只有对方一人, 我们都不会再去喜欢上别人.4. Those boys like to hit on me all the time.那些男生老爱找我搭讪.Hit somebody 是说你打某人的意思, 但是hit on somebody 就不一样了, hit on somebody 是当作搭讪来解释. 常常电视剧里可以看到, 一个男的跑去跟一个陌生女孩多说了两句话, 那个女生就说: Are you hitting on me? 你现在是在跟我搭讪吗? 实在是很有意思.5. That's the long distance relationship.我和我的情人分隔两地.一般relationship 都是特别指男女朋友之间的关系, 比如你可以跟你的另一半说, I reallyappreciate our relationship. 就是我很感激我们能够在一起.Long distance relationship 是一种固定用法, 这样的讲法我常在广播中听到. 他们一般情况下不会说成We live far away from each other. 只会说We have a long distance relationship. 再来你可能可以接著说, It's so hard for me.6. You should have chivalry.你应该有点绅士风度.我觉得美国的男生都蛮有风度的, 他们会帮女士开门(这点在美国尤其重要, 因为美国的空气太干燥了, 所以去开门常常会触电^__^ ) 会让Lady first. 这种行为中文叫绅士风度, 但在英文中叫骑士精神(chivalry)7. I saw you smooching that girl just outside my window.我看到你我的窗外亲那个女孩喔. Smooch 是一个口语, 它就完全等于大家所熟知的kiss 这个字.8. I'm all over you.我对你非常地着迷.All over you 就是说对你非常地着迷, 这还有另一种表示方法, 叫I have a crush on you. 这二句都是表达很喜欢某人的意思.All over somebody 还有一个很常用的用法, 我把他翻成"三贴" 比如说你去舞厅跳舞, 看到有一对男女跳到三点都贴在一起了, 你就可以跟你的同伴说, Hey, look, the guy is dancing all over the girl.9. I'm over you.我跟你之间完了.一字之差但是意思完全不同喔. 你要是说I'm over you, 就是说我跟你之间完了, 我不想再和你有任何的瓜葛. 这和I'm all over you 是完全不一样的.10. Are you trying to seduce me?你想要勾引我吗?Seduce 就是说你用言语或是行为去勾引某人. 这句话在美国派(American Pie) 当中有用到过喔! 就是其中有一个男生最后找不到伴了, 结果跑去勾引一个老女人. 那个老女人就说了, Are you trying to seduce me?更好玩的是, 那个男生事后还跟同伴吹牛, "Women are like wine. They only get better with age." 女人吗, 就像老酒一样, 只会越陈越香. (各位相信吗? 至少我是不信的^__^)第二课还是男女关系这集还是要来谈谈男女朋友之间常常会用到的一些英文, 有些真的是非常实用, 例如女生常常会说, '我觉得没有安全感', 这句话用英语要怎么说呢? 还有很简单的, 跟男朋友吵了一架英文要怎么说? 和好又怎么说? 这一集的笔记让我们再来谈谈男女之间.1. I am insecure.我没有安全感.从我小的时候我就常听女生说没有安全感, 由于我不是女生, 我一直无法去体会什么叫作没有安全感. 是需要人陪吗? 还是需要人家的呵护? 还是因为觉得自己太瘦小容易遭受欺负? 总之我是不太懂. 没想到到了国外, 别看美国的女生都那么强壮, 结果她们也是说自己没有安全感. 她们会说I am insecure, 或是I feel insecure. 或是直接讲insecurity. 记得有一次听广播, 有一个女生call in 时就讲了, That kind of insecurity makes me feel so bad.2. We had a fight yesterday.我们昨天吵架了.刚来美国时听人家说Have a fight 我都以为有人在打架, 其实不然, Have a fight 只是说二个人吵起来而已. 如果是大吵一架, 我听过最常用的讲法是, We had a huge fight 或是We had a major fight.3. I had a falling out with my boyfriend.我不理我男朋友了.Falling out 就是说二个人可能因为吵架或是其它原因, 干脆不讲话或是就不理对方了. 当你说falling out with my boyfriend 时, 有时候是暂时性的, (可能以后还会和好) 但是大多数的时候是说你说你的男朋友真正吹了. 这句话源自于我们把恋爱叫fall in love, 那结束一段恋情就叫fall out of love (从爱情中掉出来), 有点幻想破灭的味道在里面但是要注意, 没有人会说I fall out with my boyfriend. 只能这样说I had a falling out with my boyfriend.4. We decided to break up. To be more precise, he dumped me.我们决定分手, 但更正确一点来说, 是他把我给抛弃了.Break up 是指男女朋友之间分手. 当然这种说法是没有谁先抛弃谁. 你如要说明是谁抛弃谁的, 你可以说I broke up with my boyfriend (我要跟我男朋友分手) 或是更明确一点用dump 这个字. 英文里"倒垃圾"就是dump trash. 像那种大型□漫U圾收集箱, 英文叫dumpster. 所以想想被抛弃的人好像是跟垃圾一样被倒掉, 真是有够可怜的. 昨天我听广播听到一句我们很常用的话, Did you break up with your boyfriend or he dumped you? (是你要跟你男朋友分手还是他抛弃你?)有时分手也可以用end our relationship 表示, 例如, If our relationship is going to end, I don't want it to end up like this. 就是说如果我们真的要分手, 我也不希望是以这种方式分手.5. That's a heart-breaking story.那真是个令我心碎的故事.一般我们讲到伤心, 我们都会想到sad 这个字, 但在讲到男女之间的关系时, 老美特别喜欢用heart-broken 这个字. 这就是指那种令人心碎的感觉. 他们常讲I am heart-broken 或是I am broken-hearted. 就是说我的心碎了. (通常是跟男女□孜’家□ 当然, 你也可以使用动词break my heart. 例如, My boyfriend really broke my heart.但是如果丕是以人为主词的话, 则要用heart-breaking, 例如你听到了别人男女朋友分手的事情, 你就可以说, That's a heart-breaking story.6. I really want to talk to him now but he screens the phone line.我现在很想跟他说话, 但是他居然过滤打进来的电话.我觉得天底下的男生好像都差不多. 跟女朋友吵架就索性电话不接, 躲起来算了. 在国内可能还要麻烦别人"有人打电话来就说我不在" 在美国有所谓的caller-ID. 所以更方便, 都不麻烦别人, 电话是谁打来的一目了然. 这种过滤电话的行为, 就叫screen the phone line. 有一次也是我的一个朋友跟她男朋友吵架了, 她就跟我说My boyfriend screens the phone line.7. I hope finally we will work out our difference and get back together.我希望最终我们能化解彼此之间的歧见然后重新合好.二个人吵架后又和好正式的说法叫reconciliation. 但是口语中通常不会讲得这么正式, 一般只会说, We work out our difference, 化解彼此之间的歧见, 或者是get back together, 重新回到爱人的身边.8. He is still my one true love.他仍旧是我唯一的真爱.True love 真爱这样的用法好像蛮常听到的, 通常男女朋友之间或是夫妻之间都喜欢说, He (She) is my true love. 有时可以再强调是唯一的真爱, 就说He is my one true love.另外有一种说法也蛮酷的, 叫He is my soul mate, 中文翻成精神伴侣. 因为信仰宗教的人都相信人是由body 和soul 所组成的, 所以人之间的交往除了body 之外, soul 的交流也是很重要的一部分, 所以才会叫soul mate.9. I like him to hold my hand and fooling around. 我喜欢他牵我的手和碰触我.现在来谈谈谈男女朋友在一起会想要要作的事, 牵手就是hold hand, 其实在美国南方男女朋友是不太敢在公共场合牵手的, 所以我们班上一个女生才会说, My boyfriend doesn't dare to hold my hand in public.Fooling around 是个很有趣的字, 它并不是单单指在一起鬼混, 通常说Fooling around 就是指"爱抚" 而言. 用手在对方的身体上这里碰碰, 那里摸摸, 就叫fooling around. 当然发生性关系也算在fooling around 里面, 另外你也可以说messing around, 这跟fooling around 是相同的意思. 另外有一个类似的说法, 叫score on me, 请参照笔记39.10. I hope one day we will get married then have couples of kids.我希望我们总有一天能订婚, 结婚, 然后有一堆的小孩.这好像是所有天下有情人的共同愿望吧! 通常结婚可以说We were married 或是说We got married. 这二种都很常用. 要是你说I want you to marry me. 则是要翻成, 我希望你(你) 嫁(娶) 我. 有一堆的小孩 a couples of kids 似乎也是惯用法, 常可以听到I like to have couples of kids.民以食为天第三课至第五课都讲和吃有关的东西...民以食为天, 来到一个陌生的国度, 可以不用出去玩, 可以不用出去交际应酬, 但却不能不吃东西, 所以许多人来美国最先学会的英文跟吃有关的一些英文. 这一集的内容都是小笨霖使用丛林学习法, 一步一脚印则从大街小巷上学来的一些关于吃的讲法.1. Cream or sugar?要奶精还是糖?如果你去买杯咖啡, 或是在飞机上用餐时点咖啡, 别人就可能会问你Cream or sugar? 以我们的习惯通常是二个都要, 这时就回答both 就好了. 还有我也听过老美回答please. 这二种说法都可以, 但Please 的用法更广, 比如说人家问你Do you like a glass of water? 你回答please 就等于yes. 而且感觉上更礼貌些. 再补充一点, 如果你要的咖啡是不要奶精的, 那么你可以说I want it black. Black coffee 就是不加奶精的咖啡.如果你是去速食店点咖啡, 有时候你答both 之后, 店员还会问你, How many? 因为他们的糖和奶精都是一包一包或一盒一盒的, 一般我都是各要二包. Two sugars and two cream.2. Let's grab something to eat!我们随便找点东西里腹吧!Grab something to eat 就是指这一餐随便解决, 可能就是到速食店买个whopper, coke 吃吃. 如果到餐厅去吃饭就不能说grab something to eat. Grab 是说去拿个东西, 不一定是拿食物, 例如你可以说, Let's get back to grab my camera! 但是一般而言, 应用最广的还是grab something to eat.老美还教过我一个用法, Let's go get some grub. 这个意思和grab something to eat 是一样的, 只不过grub 是比较俚语的用法.3. Yuck!好难吃!吃到很难吃的东西, 第一个反应就是yuck! 或是It's yucky. 记得说这个yuck 要拖的长长的, 让它读起来像是yuuuuuuuck 听起来才会像. 另外跟yucky 很像的一个字叫icky 这个字也是难吃的意思. 所以下次再吃到什么恶心的东西时, 不妨大声地说, yuuuuuuuuuck! 或是iiiiiiiiicky!4. Yum.真好吃.跟yuck 正好相反的就是yum 这个字了. 好吃的东西一入口, 你就可以说, Yum! 记得在国内时看过某一个广告里面就有yummy yummy 这样的台词, 当时一直不明所以然, 后来到了美国才知道原来yummy yummy 就是好吃的意思. 所以那个广告说的就是他们的东西很好吃啦!5. One pitcher, cheap stuff.给我一壶最便宜的.有一次我跟老美去喝啤酒, 我跟服务生说I want a can of beer, 结果人家是一头雾水, 因为美国的啤酒种类繁多, 如Bud light, Guinness, Budweiser 等, 点啤酒时一定要说清楚, 不然别人不知道你到底要什么. 一般我看老美在点啤酒就直接说品牌的名称, 例如Bud Light.如果你要点便宜的就好, 并不在意什么样的啤酒, 就可以学他们这么说cheap stuff, 相当于中文里的, 给我最便宜的那种吧. 另外, one pitcher 是指一壶, 这个字也蛮常用的, 尤其是人多点饮料时常会用到.6. Have you finished or still working on it?用完了吗? 还是要继续用?在餐厅吃饭, 侍者要收盘子时通常会问这一句, Have you finished or still working on it 或是简单的, Can I take your plate? 千万不要像我一样, 第一次去一家美国蛮有名的餐厅Cheesecake Factory 吃饭, 侍者走到我桌旁, 跟说Have you finished or still working on it? 因为我不懂他的意思, 所以我猜他是要我买单了, 我就当场就把钱掏出来, 人家还以为我要给他小费说! 真的是蛮糗的. 不过这件事发生在我刚到美国还不到一星期的时间, 所以也不能怪我啦.7. I need a tad of salt please.我需要一点点的盐.一般高级一点的餐厅桌上都会有所谓的table salt. 如果觉得食物不够咸的话可以自己加. 但在美国尤其是中国餐馆食物都非常咸, 不知道为什么. A tad of 这样的用法跟a little bit of 的用法是很像的, 唯一不同的是, a tad of 这个片语是专门用在调味料上, 不能用在其它的场合.8. How much do you put in?你出多少钱.比如说大家一起去吃饭, 总共是十六元, 大家各付各的, 我出十元, 他出六元, 这个"出"就可以用put in. 我可以说I put in ten dollars. 就是我出十元. 也有人把put in 说成plug in. 但是似乎以put in 较为常见.9. I am up to my ears 吃的太饱, 满到耳朵了.一般情况下如果只要说吃饱了, 可以说I am stuffed, 或是I am full. 但是有时候为了强调真的太饱了, 就可以跟别人说, I am up to my ears. 就是说吃下去的食物都已经满到耳朵了. 通常老美说这句话的时候, 还会加上动作, 就是用手在耳朵旁划一条线, 表示已经满到这里了. 同样的, 这句也可以说成I am up to my throat. 一样的意思.10. I am eating my midnight snack.我正在吃宵夜在美国p.m7-12 点都可以称为midnight, 所以在晚餐之后吃的点心, 就叫midnight snack. 不过美国似乎不太流行吃宵夜, 只有少数几家24 小时营业的餐厅(如Waffle House, IHOP) 有在卖宵夜, 不然就是要到中国餐厅了!最近有一部电是在讲蝙蝠的, 他的宣传短片里就有这样一句: You will become their midnight snack. 这句话真是让我印象深刻. 注意到了没? 它也是用midnight snack 喔!多读笔记本, 不敢说对你的考试一定会有帮助, 但是对你看美国的电影, 电视, 或是来美国的日常生活一定会有帮助的! 关于这点我可以向你保证.这集我们来谈谈一些在餐厅内会用到的句子, 以及一些跟吃饭有关的单字片语. 配合美国的食物介绍一二集来看, 相信从此以后到美国餐厅用餐不再是件难事.1. Do you like to go out eating?想不想出去吃呢?有次我问老美出去吃东西怎么说, 他回答说一般出去吃饭, 他们只说go to eat , go out eating 或是eat out 而不会说go to dinner, go for lunch, 也就是不需特地说中餐或是晚餐. 所以后来老美问我刚去哪了, 我应该要说I just went out eating, 而不会说I just went to dinner. 小细节多注意, 你的英文会更棒.如果要强调是去吃午餐或晚餐的话, 一般就直接说lunch 或是dinner. 例如人家问你, "Where did you go?" 你就可以答说"lunch."2. There is a Deli over there, do you like it?那里有一家Deli (餐厅), 你喜不喜欢呢?美国的餐厅可分很多种, Restaurant 是一般的通称, 另外常用到的有Deli : 供应三明治, 沙拉这种现成的, 不需再经过烹调的餐厅, 例如SUBWAY 就可以算是Deli. 另外还有Grill 也随处可见, 翻译成烤肉餐厅, 多半是提供牛排, 汉堡热食类的食物.Deli 这个字是delicatessen 的简写, 可是现今在美国一般只会听到deli 而很少听到delicatessen 了!3. What do you like to drink?想要喝什么?美国餐厅的习惯, 吃饭时都会点一大杯饮料, 所以侍者一定会先问你What do you like to drink. 也有人会这么说, Can I get you something to drink?. 一般餐厅都会提供的有Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Iced Tea, 以及Lemonade 等. 如果什么都不要, 就说Just water.值得注意的是, 在一般的速食店提到drink 都是指soft drink 而言. 但是一般人说到have a drink 时, 他们多半指的是alcoholic, 也就是含酒精的饮料. 所以如果有人问你, "Come on, have a drink with us." 他绝不是要你跟他们一起喝可乐的意思, 而是要你跟他们一起喝酒啦!4. Are you ready to order or just a minute?你们准备好了吗? 还是要再等一会?通常饮料上桌之后, 大伙都还要花点时间研究一下菜单, 如果侍者看你们大概都差不多了, 他就会过来问你们, Are you ready to order or just a minute? 如果是已经准备好要点餐了, 就直接跟她说你想吃什么, 如果大家还要再研究研究, 则可以跟侍者说Just a minute. 或是Wait a few more minutes. 请他等一下, 他会说OK. I'll be back. (好, 那我等下再来.)5. Do you want to separate check?你们要不要分开付帐?比如说二对夫妻出去吃饭, 大家想各自付自己的, 则你们可以主动跟侍者说We want to separate check. 有时他们也会主动问你, Do you want to separate check? 或是Do you wantseparate checks? 这样的话帐单就会有二张. 但有些餐厅separate check 会多收服务费, 最好先问清楚. 如果是要一起付, 则简单地说, together 或是one check 就可以了.6. How do you like your steak cooked?你的牛排要几分熟?通常点牛排, 或是在高级一点的餐厅点牛肉汉堡, 服务生都会这样问你, How do you like it cooked? 回答的方式, 全熟是well done, 七分熟: medium well, 五分熟: medium, 四分熟: medium rare, 三分熟: rare. 老美有时在开玩笑时也用bloody 来代替rare 这个字, 听来是不是更传神? 所以如果各位嗜食生牛肉的话, 下次不妨试试bloody as hell 的点法. 但请注意一下bloody 这个字在英国英语中有点类似fxxx 的意思, 所以除非有把握不然不要拿出来乱用.记得有一次我去一家蛮高级的法国餐厅用餐, 结果我跟他要well-done 的牛排, 结果煮出来的东西跟橡皮一样难吃. 后来老美跟我解释, 你摸摸自己头上的各部位就知道你的牛排等一下煮出来是什么样子, well-done 就是头顶, 硬梆梆的, medium well 就是额头, 稍微有点弹性. medium 是鼻头, 软软的. rare 是下巴最柔软的部分. 我觉得这个分法蛮实用的, 跟各位分享一下.7. How do you like you egg cooked?你的蛋要几分熟?蛋的说法跟肉类又不一样,不要像我刚来时听人家这么问就自作聪明回答Well done. 把人家给笑掉大牙. 蛋的回答方法是1. Scramble 炒蛋2. Sunny side up 只煎一面的荷包蛋, (这句话很有意思, 因为荷包蛋像太阳, 所以老美用sunny side 来形容) 3, Sunny side down 二面都煎或是ease over.白煮蛋的话也分二种, 一种叫soft boil 一种叫hard boil. 所谓的soft boil 是指让蛋黄的部分还有点液体状, 而hard boil 则是指整个的蛋黄都煮成固体状的.有些店例如Waffle House 连hash brown 也会问How do you like it cooked? 这个也有很多选择, 不过一般我只会回答二种, patty (饼状) 跟scattered (分散状)8. Did you burn it?你把它烤焦了吗?记得刚来美国时烤焦了不知怎么说, 我就说Why do you have black part on your steak, 结果人家当然也是有听没有懂, 其实烤焦了很简单, 就是burn. 美国许多建筑物都有浓烟侦测警报, 所以每次要是有人忘了什么东西在炉子里警报大作, 真是乱吓人的. 这时如果你看到你的室友一脸无辜地站在你面前, 你就可以问他, Did you burn something?9. Can I have some more bread?能再多给我点面包吗?美国餐厅中的面包吃完了可以一直拿不用钱, 所以吃不饱时就尽量吃面包吧! 另外提醒一点, 国内说的土司面包在美国就叫bread, 所谓的土司面包(toast) 指的是在面包上涂上一层蒜泥或是奶油下去烤的面包才叫toast, 就像是去"我家牛排" 他们给的那种面包才叫toast.当初一直以为我们说的土司面包就叫toast, 造成不少误会. 故事就是有一次我去美国接待家庭住, 早餐时妈妈问我要吃什么, 因为我不想太麻烦人家, 我又刚好看到桌上有土司面包, 所以我就说toast, 结果害人家还大费周章跑去帮我烤面包. 其实我应该说bread. 就不会造成别人的误会了.10. Can you give me a doggie bag?能不能给我一个狗食袋?东西点太多吃不完怎么办? 这么说就对了. 说doggie bag 是因为不希望别人觉的你太小气, 吃不完还要带回家吃, 所以说是给狗吃的. 或是用doggie box 代替doggie bag 也可以, 因为大部分的餐厅给的都是盒子而不是袋子.最后提醒一点, 请不要在高级的餐厅说doggie bag , 那是不太礼貌的, 你可以只说Can you give me a box? 就好了.另外一种常用的讲法叫"Wrap it up." 这就相当于中文里的, 帮我打包起来的意思. 在美国的中餐馆打包也很有意思, 有时候你说要打包他们还会问你要不要饭? 当然要啦! 这样子下一餐的饭跟菜就通通有着落了.11. Check, please.结帐.吃完饭别忘了给钱喔! check 就是结帐的意思, 另外也可以说buy the bill, 就跟中文里说的买单是一样的. 当然吃完了饭请别忘了给小费喔!吃的习性完不但可以反映出一个民族的特性, 还可以制造许多有趣的话题. 你可以想像当老美遇上鸡爪, 当小笨霖意外在美国吃到凉面是什么样的场面吗? 请大家就来帮小笨霖回忆一下, 关于吃的趣事.1. I like the chicken, but there are too many bones in it.我蛮喜欢这道鸡的, 就是骨头多了点.或许有人会觉得小笨霖来到美国之后, 整天一定不是牛排就是汉堡薯条. 其实亚特兰大的中国城Chinatown 应有尽有, 只要在国内买的到的, 在这里也多半有供应. 你想喝珍奶? 没问题, Chinatown 买就有. 想吃蚵仔煎? 没问题, 还是到Chinatown 买就有. 甚至在颇受欢迎的港式饮茶这里也有, 老美称它叫dim sum (点心). 虽然样式少了点, 但却也能聊解思乡之苦.话说有一次我的宝贝美国室友跑去吃dim sum. 回来之后我问他喜不喜欢. 他就说了, "I like the chicken, but there are too many bones in it." 我一听就立刻明白过来, 就告诉他, "You know what? That's chicken feet." (你知道吗? 那是「凤爪」啦.) 看他那副受惊的表情, 早知道还不如不告诉他.2. Do you know what "noodle salad" is?你知道什么是「面条沙拉」吗?在美国有个奇特的现象, 就是老中开的中餐馆多半都是老中在吃的, 但也有老美开的中餐馆, 但却大多是老美在吃的. 主要是因为老美所喜欢的「中国菜」基本上都比较甜, 跟一般中国人的口味并不是很像. 话说有一次我到一家老美开的中餐馆, "Noodle House" 这家店是专门在卖亚洲口味的面食. 但菜单上最吸引我目光的是开胃菜(Appetizer) 那一栏, 有一道noodle salad, 我实在很好奇, 面条也可以作成沙拉? 于是乎我就立刻点了noodle salad 来吃看看. 等到菜一上桌, 小笨霖这下才恍然大悟, 原来noodle salad 就是我们常吃的「凉面」, 真是太有意思了, 所以你现在知道, 在美国也可以吃到凉面, 只是他们取了一个很洋味的名字: noodle salad.3. What does it say in your fortune cookie?你的幸运饼里面说些什么.在美国几乎不管上任何一家中国餐馆, 饭后他们都会给每个人一个fortune cookie. (中文可直译为幸运饼或签语饼) 这种饼干是中空的, 而里面会有一张小小的签, 告诉你今天运势如何. 结果有一次我的老美朋友告诉我该如何「正确地」解读fortune cookie 的弦外之音, 他教我, 你可以在每一句话后面都加上in the bed. 这样子签语会更有趣. 举些例子来说吧, 原来是"Your luck is about to change." (你的运势即将改变) 加上"in the bed." 之后就变成了, (你的运势即将在床上改变) 或是, "You lood great and you know it." + "in the bed." (你看起来很棒, 你是[在床上]知道这一点的.). "Life is tough. It's even tougher if you're stupide." +"in the bed." (生活是很艰苦的, 而且它会变得更艰苦, 如果你[在床上]很笨的话.) 怎么样? 经过这样小小的修改, 原本很无聊的fortune cookie 是不是也变得很有趣呢?4. I don't want any chili pepper on my beef.我的牛肉上不要放辣椒喔.有一次我跟另外一个中国人请我的美国室友去吃中国食物. 因为我们点了一个宫保鸡丁, 所以就顺道跟我的老美室友解释到「宫保」是什么意思. 宫保者, 辣椒也, 可是我们两个老中对辣椒的英文要怎么讲有点小小的争执, 我很肯定地说是chili, 但有人硬要说是pepper, 两人互不相让, 我的室友也搞不清楚我们在到底在讲什么东西. 后来菜一上桌, 我们就指著辣椒同声问他, 「这到底是什么?」他笑了笑说, "This is called chili pepper." 这时我才恍然大悟, 原来我们常吃的辣椒既不是chili 也不是pepper, 而是两个字合起来chili pepper. 更仔细一点来说, pepper 是某一植物家族的总称, 例如青椒(green bell pepper) 就是pepper 的一种, 所以辣椒chili pepper 只能算是众多pepper 中的一种.事实上chili 和pepper 这两个字在英文中单独用的话都还另有解释, chili 指的是一种墨西哥的红番椒, 但通常老美讲的chili 是指在速食店在卖的一种chili soup 里面放了肉酱豆子等一堆杂七杂八的东西. 而pepper 单独用的话则是指「胡椒」而言, 例如你问"Do you want some peppers?" 就是问别人要不要来点胡椒.5. There must be some anchovies on the pizza.这个比萨上面一定放了小鱼干.。
