热爱美食吗?那你怎么可以不学“美食英语”!用餐是每天必不可少的活动,与家人吃饭可以很随意;和老外一起吃饭呢?在异国他乡用餐呢?
我们担心 menu (菜单)看不懂,不知在餐厅场景里说点什么?更担心因不了解 table manner (餐桌礼仪)而闹出洋相。也许你的脑子里只有诸如 “delicious, tasty, yummy” 几个词,也许你只会埋头闷吃而不敢言。
01
外出用餐 Eating out
首先
当你厌倦了每日的工作餐和家常菜
想和朋友eating out换换口味时
你会怎么说呢?
TouchStone的Speaking Strategy
为你准备了以下五大高频建议句型
Shall we go out for dinner?
What about having Thai food?
We could try that for a change.
I've got an idea.
Let's try that then.
02
讨论餐点 Talking about a meal
接下来
当你还沉醉在昨晚的法式大餐时
你会兴致勃勃地和同事描述些什么呢?
TouchStone巧妙地以听力和口语的交叉练习模式
教会你How to talk about a meal
其实,在谈及所享大餐时
老外经常遵照如下的逻辑线
1
去餐厅的时间
When did you last go to a restaurant?
2
餐厅类型
What type of restaurant was it?
3
菜品
Did you have a starter/ main course/ dessert? What was it?
开胃菜,主菜,甜品分别点了什么?
在这个层次上,你可以沿用这个句型:
For a starter I had… For a main course I had… For dessert I had…
4
菜的食材
What’s it made with?
5
你对菜的评价
Did you enjoy it?
你可以说:
Last night I went to an Italian restaurant. For a main course, I had spaghetti Bolognese. It was very good. It’s made with beef and tomatoes.
昨晚我去了意大利餐厅。主菜我选了意大利肉酱面。非常好吃。看起来这道美味是用牛肉和番茄做的。
Last week I went to a French restaurant. For dessert, I had crème brulee. It was really sweet. It’s made with vanilla and cream.
上周我去了家法国料理餐厅。我选了法式焦糖炖蛋作甜品。里面有香草和奶油,真的非常甜哦!
