What do you like to drink? 想要喝什麽?
美國餐廳的習慣,吃飯時都會點壹大杯飲料,所以侍者壹定會先問妳What do you like to drink。也有人會這麽說,Can I get you something to drink?壹般餐廳都會提供的有Coke,Diet Coke,Sprite,Iced Tea,以及Lemonade 等。如果什麽都不要,就說Just water
值得註意的是,在壹般的速食店提到drink 都是指soft drink 而言。但是壹般人說到have a drink 時,他們多半指的是alcoholic,也就是含酒精的飲料。所以如果有人問妳,“Come on, have a drink with us.” 他絕不是要妳跟他們壹起喝可樂的意思,而是要妳跟他們壹起喝酒啦!
Are you ready to order or just a minute? 妳們準備好了嗎? 還是要再等壹會?
通常飲料上桌之後,大夥都還要花點時間研究壹下菜單,如果侍者看妳們大概都差不多了,他就會過來問妳們,Are you ready to order or just a minute?如果是已經準備好要點餐了,就直接跟她說妳想吃什麽,如果大家還要再研究研究,則可以跟侍者說Just a minute。或是Wait a few more minutes。請他等壹下,他會說OK. I'll beback.(好,那我等下再來。)
