Language Notes 三言两语

点菜就餐的典型次序是：找一张桌子坐下－看菜单－点菜－付钱－离开。英语语言的表达基本上也是依照次顺序。“订餐”在英文中有两种说法，即to book a table 和make a reservation．在英国以及在其它很多国家，餐厅一般划分为吸烟区和非吸烟区。一进餐厅，服务员会主动征询客人的意见，然后引领客人前往所选择的区域就餐。

Language Notes

三言两语

在西餐厅就餐，菜单一般由三类不同的菜别组成。the first course或者starters是指第一道菜，往往是汤、一小碟色拉或其它小吃。第二道菜是主菜，fish and chips是鱼和炸土豆条，它同“roast beef and york shir pudding——牛肉布丁”、“shepherd spie——牧羊人的馅饼”一样，都是典型的英国传统菜肴。最后一道是甜食——或冷或热，但都是甜的。西方饮食习惯是先吃咸的，后吃甜的。西餐菜单名目繁多，有时不易读懂。遇到这种情况，可以请服务员解释一下。
