Good evening! What can I get for you?

晚上好!想喝什么?

You

Hi, I'd like a glass of red wine, please. What do you recommend?

你好,来杯红酒。有什么推荐?

We have a nice Cabernet Sauvignon from California and a Malbec from Argentina. The Cabernet is bolder and the Malbec is smoother. Shall I pour you a taste?

我们有一款不错的加州赤霞珠和一款阿根廷马尔贝克。赤霞珠更浓郁,马尔贝克更顺滑。要尝一下吗?

You

I'll try the Malbec. How much is a glass?

我试马尔贝克。一杯多少钱?

It's $14 for a 6-ounce pour. Would you like to start a tab or pay as you go?

6盎司一杯14美元。要开吧台账还是随走随付?

💡 'start a tab' 是在酒吧常用的说法,意思是先记账最后一起付。

You

I'll start a tab. Can you charge it to my room? Room 1208.

开吧台账吧。能记到房间吗?1208房间。

Of course. Here's your Malbec. We also have happy hour specials from 5 to 7 PM — half-price well drinks and $5 off wine bottles.

当然。您的马尔贝克。我们5到7点有欢乐时光——普通调酒半价,葡萄酒减5美元。

You

Good to know for tomorrow. Do you have any non-alcoholic cocktails? My wife doesn't drink alcohol.

明天可以试试。有无酒精鸡尾酒吗?我太太不喝酒。

We have a full mocktail menu! The Virgin Mojito and the Passion Fruit Spritz are our most popular. I'll grab the menu for you.

我们有完整的无酒精鸡尾酒菜单!处女莫吉托和百香果气泡饮最受欢迎。我拿菜单给您。

You

I'd like to try a cocktail but I'm not sure what to order. What's your specialty?

我想试鸡尾酒但不知道点什么。你们的招牌是什么?

Our signature cocktail is the 'City Sunset' — vodka, blood orange, elderflower liqueur, and a splash of champagne. It's refreshing and not too strong.

我们的招牌鸡尾酒是「城市日落」——伏特加、血橙、接骨木花利口酒,加一点香槟。清爽不太烈。

You

That sounds interesting. I usually like sweeter drinks. Is it sweet or more on the sour side?

听起来不错。我一般喜欢偏甜的。这是甜的还是偏酸的?

It's balanced — slightly sweet from the elderflower with a citrus finish. If you prefer sweeter, I can also recommend our Espresso Martini or a classic Piña Colada.

很平衡——接骨木花带来微甜,有柑橘收尾。如果喜欢更甜的,推荐浓缩咖啡马天尼或经典椰林飘香。

You

I'll try the City Sunset. Can you make it a little less strong? I'm not a big drinker.

我试城市日落。能做淡一点吗?我不太能喝。

💡 在酒吧可以要求 'make it lighter' 或 'easy on the alcohol',酒保会减少烈酒用量。

No problem — I'll go easy on the vodka and add a bit more juice. Would you like it on the rocks or straight up?

没问题——伏特加少放,多加点果汁。要加冰还是不加冰?

You

On the rocks, please. Also, do you have any bar snacks we can order?

加冰。另外,有酒吧小食吗?

We have a small bites menu — truffle fries, sliders, edamame, and a cheese board. The truffle fries pair really well with the City Sunset.

有小食菜单——松露薯条、迷你汉堡、毛豆和芝士拼盘。松露薯条配城市日落特别搭。

You

Truffle fries and the cheese board, please. This is turning into a great evening!

来松露薯条和芝士拼盘。今晚真不错!

Coming right up! I'll add everything to your room tab. The kitchen takes about 10 minutes for the food. Cheers!

马上来!都记到您的房间账上。食物大约10分钟出来。干杯!
