  Language Notes 三言兩語

  點(diǎn)菜就餐的典型次序是：找一張桌子坐下－看菜單－點(diǎn)菜－付錢－離開。英語語言的表達(dá)基本上也是依照次順序。“訂餐”在英文中有兩種說法，即to book a table 和make a reservation．在英國以及在其它很多國家，餐廳一般劃分為吸煙區(qū)和非吸煙區(qū)。一進(jìn)餐廳，服務(wù)員會主動征詢客人的意見，然后引領(lǐng)客人前往所選擇的區(qū)域就餐。

  在西餐廳就餐，菜單一般由三類不同的菜別組成。the first course或者starters是指第一道菜，往往是湯、一小碟色拉或其它小吃。第二道菜是主菜，fish and chips是魚和炸土豆條，它同“roast beef and york shir pudding——牛肉布丁”、“shepherd spie——牧羊人的餡餅”一樣，都是典型的英國傳統(tǒng)菜肴。最后一道是甜食——或冷或熱，但都是甜的。西方飲食習(xí)慣是先吃咸的，后吃甜的。西餐菜單名目繁多，有時不易讀懂。遇到這種情況，可以請服務(wù)員解釋一下。
