餐桌英語口語一網打盡
每逢佳節聚會，英美人常歡聚一堂，頻頻舉杯，開懷暢飲，“乾杯!”、“爲……乾杯!”之聲不絕於耳。那麼英美人是如何表示的呢?
一、用(Here's)to...表示：
's to your health / success. 爲你的健康 / 成功乾杯！
's to our friendship！ 爲我們的友誼乾杯！
's to Tom for his new job! 爲湯姆的新工作乾杯!
二、用health, luck等表示：Good health! Good luck! All the best!例如：
health, John—May you have a successful time in Manchester！爲了你的健康，約翰，也祝你在曼徹斯特前程似錦!
n raised her glass，“Good luck to you!” she said. 海倫舉起酒杯，說道：“祝你好運!”
三、主人或主持人邀客人喝酒時，通常用Cheers! Do the honors!例如：
raised his glass，“May you success! Cheers!” 他舉起酒杯說：“祝你成功，乾杯!”
, you do the honors and propose the toast. 帕特，你敬酒吧。
四、在比較隨便的場合，通常用Here's how!還有Happy landing!(美俚，原爲空軍用語)等。例如：
Oh，come, come，'s how!噢，來呀，來呀，大衛，乾杯!
五、在比較正式的場合，英美人有時也用一些外來語。例如：
Prosit!(來源於拉丁語，意爲May it do good! To your health/ good luck! etc. )
六、在陳述句中，英美語通常用toast，round, drink to，drink a toast for / to, propose a toast for 等詞表示。例如：
nds，I'll give you a toast——to our president! 朋友們，我給大家敬酒，爲我們總統乾杯!

Would you like to see the menu?
您需要看菜單嗎？
點菜就餐的典型次序是：找一張桌子坐下－看菜單－點菜－付錢－離開。英語語言的表達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，餐廳一般劃分爲吸菸區和非吸菸區。一進餐廳，服務員會主動徵詢客人的意見，然後引領客人前往所選擇的區域就餐。
Excuse me, could I see the menu, please?
打攪一下，我能看看菜單嗎？
Are you ready to order?
您現在可以點餐嗎？
first course/stasters
第一道菜／開胃菜
maincourse
主菜
dessert
甜食
Could I have the bill, please?
請拿賬單來，好嗎？
How would you like to pay?
請問您怎樣付款？
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菜餚。最後一道是甜食——或冷或熱，但都是甜的。西方飲食習慣是先吃鹹的，後吃甜的。西餐菜單名目繁多，有時不易讀懂。遇到這種情況，可以請服務員解釋一下。
