6、商务宴会中的英文点菜方式 1
陈豪在北京的ABC美国公司工作,他跟美国同事Amy一起喝下午茶。
(Office ambience)
A:Chen Hao, you've been attending a lot of business dinners lately. Didn't your team go out again last night with the clients?
C:没错。我老板Mr. Brown决定请客人到附近刚开张的那家法国餐馆去吃饭。
A:How did it go?
C:饭菜的味道确实不错,但是有个客人很失态。
A:What do you mean?
C:首先,她点的菜都是菜单上价钱最贵的。
A:What did the others do?
C:其他人点的都是中等价位的,我也一样。
A:This client sounds as if she could use some business etiquette training. Unless Mr. Brown suggested that you all order certain pricey dishes, she should have chosen something moderately priced。
C:我觉得也是。除非主人坚持,否则客人应该点一些普通的菜才对。
A:It's rude to take advantage of your host like that. This client is not very savvy about business dining。
C: Savvy是什么意思啊?
A:Savvy means having knowledge and experience。
C:这个客户确实不懂礼貌,而且还不只这些呢!
A:Let's head back to the office now. You can tell me on the way。
2
陈豪和Amy两人一起往回走。
A:So there is more to this story?
C:那个客人不仅点的都是最贵的,而且一道菜都不拉。
A:Like what?
C:从汤开始,然后是头台、沙拉,主菜,最后还有特制的甜点,一样不少。
A:What did everyone else do?
C:Mr. Brown虽然吃得很少,但也只好跟着她一道菜一道菜地点。
A:He was doing the correct thing as host by ordering the same as the client。
C:作为主人,一定要这么做吗?
A:When someone orders appetizers or other dishes in addition to the entrée, it is polite for others to order the same courses。
C:那又是为什么呢?
A:That keeps the pace of the dinner even and avoids the awkwardness of one person eating a course by herself。
C:如果没有别人点汤的话,那个客户自己吃的时候一定会觉得很尴尬。
A:At an informal dinner, some people have soup while others may select a different appetizer to have at the same time. Everyone should have an equal number of courses。
C:那作为请客的主人,在饭桌上能做些什么呢?
A:Simple. The host can say, "Why don't we all have an appetizer?" Or he could ask, "Would anyone like something to start with?"
C:这样一来,你就能知道自己是不是唯一想点头台的人了。
A:Right. If no one else has a starter course, then you don't either。
C:你真应该给昨天那个客人好好上一课。

B: That's right. I work 24 hours' overtime a week. And the overtime pay is usually more than the regular pay。
B: 对,我一星期加班24小时。而加班工资通常要高于固定工资。
A: So overtime has a bearing on how much you may make in a job. Don't you think so?
A: 所以加班影响工资收入的多少,你不这样认为吗?
B: Definitely. And the degree of responsibility in a job also has a great deal to do with the salary。

L: I can only afford about 300 pounds a month.
我只能承受月租300英镑以内的。
H: looks like you’re not going to get more than a bedroom in a shared flat with that.
那我看你也顶多就是和别人合租一套公寓,自己住其中一间。
L: really? That’s a lot of money to pay for one room.
真的吗?一居室也要很多钱。
H: well, if you want to live in London, you have to pay the price!
对啊,如果你想住在伦敦,就得付这么多钱。
L: do you know of anyone who needs a roommate?
你知道还有谁在找合租伙伴吗?
H: I can ask around at work. Do you have a preference for smakers or non-smokers?
我可以问问周围的同事们、你会优先考虑吸烟的还是不吸烟的?
L: I’d prefer non-smoking roommates, but I guess I’ll have to take what I can get!
我希望合租者不吸烟。不过,我想我总得为得到的付出点代价。
H: how long do you want to sign a contract for?
你的租房合同打算签多久?
L: I can sign a contract up to a year. I don’t know where I’ll be after that.
顶多一年。我不知道一年之后自己会去哪里。
H: do you need a furnished or unfurnished apartment?
你需要房子配了家具还是没配家具的。
L: I don’t have any furniture, so it’d be great if it were furnished.
我什么家具都没有,所以如果家具能一应俱全那就太好了。
H: you know that you’ll have to pay utilities on top of the rent, right?
你知道水电费会在房租以外另算,是吧。
L: no, I thought that would be included in the rent.
不知道,我以为都包含在房租里。
H: it’s not usually included, so you’ll have to factor in about 100 pounds more each month for utilities.
一般都不包含。所以你得考虑到这个因素,每月要水,电,煤气等费用多付100英镑。
L: I don't think I can afford that.
我觉得我会租不起。
H: don’t worry. Sometimes people will give you a discount if you promise to do the clearing or take care of the children.
别担心。有时候如果你愿意打扫房间或者照看小孩,房东会给你打折的。
L: that’s agood idea. I’ll look into finding something like that.
这真是个好主意。我就按照这个条件去找找看。

6、商务宴会中的英文点菜方式 1
陈豪在北京的ABC美国公司工作,他跟美国同事Amy一起喝下午茶。
(Office ambience)
A:Chen Hao, you've been attending a lot of business dinners lately. Didn't your team go out again last night with the clients?
C:没错。我老板Mr. Brown决定请客人到附近刚开张的那家法国餐馆去吃饭。
A:How did it go?
C:饭菜的味道确实不错,但是有个客人很失态。
A:What do you mean?
C:首先,她点的菜都是菜单上价钱最贵的。
A:What did the others do?
C:其他人点的都是中等价位的,我也一样。
A:This client sounds as if she could use some business etiquette training. Unless Mr. Brown suggested that you all order certain pricey dishes, she should have chosen something moderately priced。
C:我觉得也是。除非主人坚持,否则客人应该点一些普通的菜才对。
A:It's rude to take advantage of your host like that. This client is not very savvy about business dining。
C: Savvy是什么意思啊?
A:Savvy means having knowledge and experience。
C:这个客户确实不懂礼貌,而且还不只这些呢!
A:Let's head back to the office now. You can tell me on the way。
2
陈豪和Amy两人一起往回走。
A:So there is more to this story?
C:那个客人不仅点的都是最贵的,而且一道菜都不拉。
A:Like what?
C:从汤开始,然后是头台、沙拉,主菜,最后还有特制的甜点,一样不少。
A:What did everyone else do?
C:Mr. Brown虽然吃得很少,但也只好跟着她一道菜一道菜地点。
A:He was doing the correct thing as host by ordering the same as the client。
C:作为主人,一定要这么做吗?
A:When someone orders appetizers or other dishes in addition to the entrée, it is polite for others to order the same courses。
C:那又是为什么呢?
A:That keeps the pace of the dinner even and avoids the awkwardness of one person eating a course by herself。
C:如果没有别人点汤的话,那个客户自己吃的时候一定会觉得很尴尬。
A:At an informal dinner, some people have soup while others may select a different appetizer to have at the same time. Everyone should have an equal number of courses。
C:那作为请客的主人,在饭桌上能做些什么呢?
A:Simple. The host can say, "Why don't we all have an appetizer?" Or he could ask, "Would anyone like something to start with?"
C:这样一来,你就能知道自己是不是唯一想点头台的人了。
A:Right. If no one else has a starter course, then you don't either。
C:你真应该给昨天那个客人好好上一课。
7、At Breakfast 吃早餐 Coffee shops are popular, reasonably priced restaurants for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just a snack.

3.A: You're going to have coffee, aren't you?
B: Yes. I could use a cup of coffee.
A: Are you going to have anything to eat?

A: I'll have that too.
4.A: A cup of coffee sounds good, doesn't it?

8、如何用英语买火车票 这是一段在美国买火车票时的对话:
