Let's imagine a friend has invited you out to eat in a restaurant where you will need to order in English.

讓我們來想像一下，有位朋友邀請你去一間需要用英文點餐的

In this video I'll take you through all of the steps and stages of dining out in an English speaking restaurant.

餐廳吃飯

The first person that you will meet in an English speaking restaurant is called, "the host."

在這個影片裡，我會帶你了解在說英語的餐廳裡用餐的

And the host will ask you:

所有步驟和階段

How many people are in your party?

你在餐廳裡會遇到的第一個人稱為

And you will let them know the total number of people that are going to be eating.

接待

They might then ask you to wait, as the restaurant may be quite busy, or they will say:

而接待會問你：

Follow me.

你們總共有幾位呢？

I will take you to your table.

而你會告知他將要在這裡用餐的人數

Either way, eventually, they will take you to your table, and they will give you menus.

因為餐廳有些忙，他們可能會請你稍後，不然他們就會說：

And they'll usually say:

跟我來

Your server will be with you shortly.

我帶你們到座位上

Meaning that a waiter, waitress, or server will be coming to your table in just a few moments.

不管是哪一種情況，最後他們都會帶你們到座位上並且提供菜單給你

The next person that you will meet in the restaurant will be your server.

他們通常會說：

And they will first ask you if you would like to order any drinks.

你的服務生馬上過來

They don't want to ask you if you want to order any food because they want to give you some time to look through the menu and get a really good idea of what's available.

意思是一位男服務生、女服務生或者是侍應生不久後就會到你的桌邊

You can put your drink order in, and they will go back to the kitchen to prepare your drinks while you have time to decide what food you want to order.

服務

When they return with your drinks...

下一位你會在餐廳見到的人為服務生

They will ask if you are ready to order.

他們會先詢問你是否需要點飲料

Usually you are ready to order at this point.

一開始不會問你是否要點餐，因為他們想要給你一些時間去看菜單，

So you can place your orders. It's usually polite to allow the women in the party to go first, and the men to go second.

了解他們有什麼餐點

And the server will then allow you to spend some time with your drinks and your friends while they go to the kitchen and allow them to prepare your meal.

你可以先點飲料，之後服務生會回廚房準備

When the server returns, they will place your food in front of you on the table.

在此同時你可以決定要點什麼餐點

It's usually polite to wait 'til everyone has their meal in front of them before you start eating.

當服務生回來送上飲料時

And then they will say:

他們會詢問你是否準備好要點餐了

Enjoy your meal!

通常這個時候你已經決定好了

They will usually return just a few minutes later to ask if everything is okay.

所以你就可以點餐，通常較為禮貌的做法是讓同桌的女性先點餐

At this point in time you can let them know if there were any items missing that they forgot to bring the first time.

而男性隨後再點餐

You will then have time to enjoy your meal with your friends.

之後服務生會讓你有時間享用飲料與朋友時光

Once you are getting close to finishing your meal, the server will come back and ask, first of all, if they can clear away any of the plates.

在此同時他們會回廚房並開始準備你的餐點

But also if anyone would like to order dessert.

當服務生回來的時候，他們會放置你的餐點在你的座位前

If this is the case they will bring you dessert menus, and you can place your dessert order.

通常會等到大家的餐點都到齊後再一起開動是一個較為禮貌

If you are not having dessert, or towards the end of your dessert, the server will usually return and ask if they can bring you your bill.

的做法

And once they bring you your bill, they'll let you know what all the options are to pay.

之後服務生會說：

Usually you can pay with credit card, bank card, or cash.

享受你的餐點！

Once you have paid, you and your friends can head out for other exciting things to do that evening.

過不久之後他們會回來詢問是否一切都 OK

Well that's just a little peek at what it's like to eat in an English speaking restaurant.

在這個時候你可以讓他們知道有沒有

It probably isn't very different from your own restaurants.

一旦你快要吃完餐點了，服務生會回來詢問你是否有

需要清理的盤子

And I hope you have a great day.

也或者是詢問是否有人需要點甜點
