、商务宴会中得英文点菜方式
1
陈豪在北京得
ABC
美国公司工作
,
她跟美国同事
Amy
一起
喝下午茶。
(Office ambience)
A:Chen
Hao, you've been attending a lot of business
dinners
lately
、
Didn't
your
team
go
out
again
last
night
with
the
clients?
C:
没错。我老板
Mr
、
Brown
决定请客人到附近刚开张得
那家法国餐馆去吃饭。
A:How did it
go?
C:
饭菜得味道确实不错
,<
/p>
但就是有个客人很失态。
A:What
do you mean?
C:
首先
,
她点得菜都就是菜单上价钱最贵得。
A:What did the others do?
C:
其她人点得都就是中等价位得
,
我也一
样。
A:This
client
sounds
as
if
she
could
use
some
business
etiquette
training
、
Unless
Mr
、
Brown
suggested that you
all
order
certain
pricey
dishes,
she
should
have
chosen
something moderately
priced
。
C:
我觉得也就是。
除非主人坚持
,
否则客人应该点一些普通
得菜才对。
A:It's
rude
to
take
advantage
of
your
host
like
that
、
This
client is not very
savvy about business dining
。
C: Savvy
就是什么意思啊？
A:Savvy means having knowledge and
experience
。
C:
这个客户确实不懂礼貌
,
而且还不只这些呢！
A:Let's head back to the
office now
、
You
can tell me on the
way
。
2
陈豪与
Amy
两人一起往回走。
A:So there is more to this
story?
C:
那个客人不仅点得都就是最贵得
,
而且一道菜都不拉。
A:Like what?
C:
从汤
开始
,
然后就是头台、沙拉
,
主菜
,
最后还有特制得甜
点
,
一样不少。
A:What did everyone else do?
C:Mr
、
Brown
虽然吃得很少
,
但也只好跟
着她一道菜一道
菜地点。
A:He
was
doing
the
correct
thing
as
host
by
ordering
the
same as the
client
。
C:
作为主人
,
一定要这么做吗？
A:When
someone
orders
appetizers
or
other
dishes
in
addition
to
the
entrée,
it
is
polite
for
others
to
order
the
same
courses
。
C:
那又就是为什么呢？
A:That
keeps
the
pace
of
the
dinner
even
and
avoids
the
awkwardness of one person eating a
course by herself
。
C:
如果没有别人点汤得话
,
那个
客户自己吃得时候一定会
觉得很尴尬。
A:At
an
informal
dinner,
some
people
have
soup
while
others may select a
different appetizer to have at the same
time
、
Everyone should have an equal number of
courses
。
C:
那作为请客得主人
,
在饭桌上能做些什么呢？
A:Simple
、
The
host
can
say,
don't
we
all
have
an
appetizer?
to
start with?
C:
这样一来
,
您就能知道自己就是不就是唯一想点头台得
人了。
A:Right
、
If no one else has a starter course,
then you don't
either
。
C:
您真应该给昨天那个客人好好上一课。

Asking Favors
求助
When you ask for things, it is
important to be polite
、
The
intonation
that
you
use
in
making
your
request
is
as
important
as
what
you
actually
say

When
you
think
someone will refuse your request, you
can ask the question
in
such
a
way
that
the
refusal
does
not
cause
embarrassment
