那麼,在點餐/用餐/訂位等不同情況時,我們應該如何用英文去溝通呢?
下文為大家整合了8個常見情況。

外吃食飯前
西餐廳預約攻略
不少西餐廳,尤其是高級的西餐廳,往往都不接受walk-in,所以電話預約就變得相當重要。
想在預約是說出一口流利的地道英文,讓對方一聽就懂?下文的攻略將會為你帶來莫大的幫助。
情景一: 當你想預約位置
你會聽到:
Receptionist: Hello! This is ABC restaurant. How can I help you?
接線生︰你好!這是ABC餐廳,請問有甚麼事呢?
如果你想預約晚餐,你可以回應:
You: I would like to reserve a table for three on Sunday night.
你︰我想於星期日的晚餐時段訂一張三人桌。
或者︰
You: I would like to make a reservation for three on Sunday night.
你︰我想預約星期日三位晚餐。
他可能會繼續問︰
Receptionist: Okay. What time would you like to have dinner?
接線生︰好的,那麼你想甚麼時間進餐呢?
你可以回答︰
Yor: Half past eight, please.
你︰八時半,謝謝。
情景二: 想預約但沒有空餘的位置
Receptionist: Sorry, we are full booking at half past eight.
接線生︰不好意思,我們八點半已經滿了預約。
在這種情況,你可以自己選擇另一個時間︰
You: How about 9 o’clock?
你︰那麼9點呢?
如果有位置的話你會聽到︰
Receptionist: Yes, we have a table available for that.
接線生︰好的,我們九點有位置。
或者你可以問有什麼時段可以選擇︰
You: What time would be available for booking?
你︰有甚麼時間是可以預約?
他會回答︰Receptionist: We have a table available for both 9 o’clock and 10 o’clock.
接線生︰我們九點和十點有空桌。
你可以按他提供的時間選擇︰
B) You: Then 10 o’clock, please.
你︰那麼十點吧。
情況三:詢問dress code
You: Is there any dress code? / Does your restaurant have a dress code?
你︰這裡有沒有穿著要求?/ 餐廳有穿著要求嗎?
Receptionist: Yes, we require a formal dress code for both ladies and gentlemen.
接線生︰我們要求女士和男士也要穿著正裝。
Receptionist: No, both casual and formal are welcomed.
接線生︰沒有,不論休閒或正裝也沒有問題。
