英孚教育25堂生活英语(书本抄录)

举例来说：

「

I'd like the spaghetti

and some tea.

」

，或者是：

「

I'll have a sandwich and a soft drink.

」

。 不过通常你只需指着菜单点菜便可。

These are the two most important phrases! Use

For example,

always works, too!

This isn't what I ordered.

假 如服务生端错食物给你，你可以说：

「

This isn't what I ordered, I ordered...

」

，然后继续跟他说你点的菜名。

这情况不常发生，但当它发生时，你可以这样回答。< /p>

If the server brings you the wrong dish, say,

the dish you wanted. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, make sure you do something about it.

Check, please!

当你准备离去时，你可呼唤服 务生然后说：

「

Check, please!

」

，以一句简练的句子结束你的用餐。

Check, please! When you're ready to go, catch the waiter's attention and say,

for a short and simple end to your meal.

如何在「英语聚餐」中保持你的礼貌？

How to Mind Your Manners at an English- speaking Dinner?

在外国进餐不单是理解菜单那么简单！还需要良好 的餐桌礼仪——即说话和行为举止得宜。这会告诉你如

何在英语聚餐中表现得大方得体！

Eating in a foreign country is not only about understanding the menu! Good table etiquette means knowing both

what to say and how to behave. Read on to make sure you're behaving properly at an English-speaking dinner

table!

①

西方国家中，餐具包括刀、叉和汤 匙。很多人都会感到混淆，不知从哪个餐具入手。其实惯例就是从

外到内。

In

an

English-speaking

country,

cutlery

refers

to

knives,

forks

and

spoons

(eating

utensils).

Everyone

gets

confused from time to time about which utensil to use. The basic rule is to start from the outside and work inwards

(towards your plate).

②

进餐时，

如果你要去洗手间，

只需说：

「

Ple ase excuse me for a moment.

」

，

当你需要讲电话时也可以这样

说。此外，你可以把你的手机设 定为静音模式，但把它关掉会更有礼貌。

During

the

meal,

if

you

need

to

leave

the

table

to

go

to

the

bathroom,

simply

say

excuse

me

for

a

moment.

silent mode, it is more polite to turn it off.

③

千万要避免进食时发出声音（即你 喝汤时发出声音）

，尤其当你在喝汤或韩信面条时，要更加留意。

Slurping (making a

‘

slurp

’

sound with your mouth) is something you should avoid at all costs! Be especially

careful not to slurp when you are having soup or noodles!

④

就算你已经吃了很多，

当你真的很饱时，

你可说：

「

Thank you, but I really

couldn't eat another bite.

」< /p>

，也可以说：

「

I'm stuffed!

」

，即是「

very full

」的通人讲法。

Even if you have eaten a lot, your host will often try to encourage you to eat more. If you've really had enough,

say

‘

very

full

’

.

⑤

当你用 餐完毕时，

你可把刀和叉放在一起

（把它们放在盘子上）

。

同时，

你可说：

「

What a delicious meal!

Thank you so much.

」以表感谢。不过你还需要等所有人进餐完毕后方可离开餐桌 。

Indicate you have finished eating by

‘

closing

’

your knife and fork, (putting them together on your plate). You can

say

leaving the table.

⑥

伸手过远会被视为极不礼貌。如果 你需要食盐，或是要享用不在你面前的食物，你可说：

「

Ple ase

pass

the ...

」

It

is

considered

rude

to

reach

across

the

table.

If

you

need

the

salt,

or

would

like

a

dish

that

is

not

in

your

immediate area, you can say

⑦

最后就是不要太拘泥于小节上。今 时今日，餐桌礼仪最注重的是如何表现你优雅和自信的一面，当你

不知道怎样做时，你大 可参考同桌其他的人！

Finally, don't worry about every little detail. Nowadays, etiquette is more about displaying graciousness and poise.

And when in doubt, just look to your neighbor for clues!

armed with a variety of fun expressions that you can use.

Dressed to the nines

一个精彩的夜晚 开始前，你的脑里会充满着一整柜的衣裳及数不清的鞋子，再添加一点幻想，以准备盛装

赴会！

当你

「

dressed to the nines

」

，代表你穿著的衣服非常入时及时髦，例 如你可能会说：

「

If we're going to

the cocktail party we'd better get dressed to the nines!

」

。

Any big night out begins at home with a wardrobe full of clothes, a mirror and some imagination! When you are

dressed to the nines it means that you are wearing some seriously fashionable clothes. For example, you might say,

Grab a bite to eat

可能你会希望先到餐厅或咖啡室快速吃顿晚餐，

我们称之为

「

grabbing a bite to eat

」

。

例如你的朋友会问你 ：

「

Do you want to grab a bite to eat before we go out?

」

。

You may want to start the night with a quick dinner at a restaurant or cafe, which we call grabbing a bite to eat.

For example, your friend might ask you,

Go and catch a flick

傍晚是到影院欣 赏最新上映电影的好时候。

一般来说，

我们准备去观看电影的通 人说法是

「

going to catch a

flick

」

，例如你的朋友也许会说：

Let's go and catch a flick at the cinema tonight!

」

。

Early evening is a great time to pay a visit to the local cinema and catch up on the latest big movie. Informally, we

say that we are going to catch a flick when we are going to watch a movie. For example, your friends may say,

Paint the town red

现在，大家应准备好去轻松一下尽兴狂欢了！这就是「

painting

the

town < /p>

red

」的意思——与朋友试过美好

的晚 上！所以当朋友问你：

「

Do you want to go and paint the town red?

」

，他们可 不是要你带油漆和油漆刷！

By now, everyone is probably ready to let loose and have some fun! This is what we call painting the town red,

having a really great night out with friends! So, when your friends ask

red?

Go bar- hopping

若要夜游，你可以考虑到不同的酒吧和朋友轻松欢聚一下。

Bar-hopping

」的意思是你到酒吧停 留一会儿，

然后「

hop

」

Part of your big night out might include stopping off at a few bars for some relaxing drinks and to meet up with

friends. By bar-hopping we mean that you go to one bar for a while, and then hop, or move on, to several more.

Shoot some pool

当你在

「

bar-hopping

」

的时候，

你可能会想玩一、

两局桌球。

别担心，

它不像听起来那么危险，

「

shooting some

pool< /p>

」的意思很简单，就是玩桌球！

While bar-hopping you might spot a pool table and feel like having a quick game or two. Don't worry, it's not as

dangerous as it sounds - shooting some pool simply means to play pool!

Dance the night away

当「

bar-hopping

」时，你会听到各种风格的音乐，调动大家跳舞的热情。

「

D ancing the night away

」即不停

跳舞跳 至第二天早晨。所以如果翌日有人问你为什么那么疲倦，你可以告诉他们：

「

last

night

I

danced the night away!

」

。

Hearing lots of music while bar-hopping has probably got everyone in the mood for a disco! Dancing the night

away means to dance for hours and hours until the early hours of the next morning. So when someone asks you

the next day why you are so tired, you can tell them,

want to ask for the changing rooms.

they'll never know how much you paid!
