💡 美国餐厅接电话通常会先报餐厅名字，有时加上接线员的名字。

Sure! What time were you thinking, and how many in your party?

好的！您想订几点的？一共几位？

Let me check... I'm sorry, 7 is fully booked. I have openings at 6:30 or 8:15. Would either of those work?

让我查一下……抱歉，7点已经满了。6:30 或 8:15 有空位。这两个时间可以吗？

💡 周末热门餐厅通常需要提前好几天甚至几周预订。

Great. And can I get a name for the reservation?

好的。请问预订人姓名？

C-H-E-N. Got it. And a phone number in case we need to reach you?

C-H-E-N。收到。方便留一个联系电话吗？以防我们需要联系您。

Perfect. So that's Saturday, 8:15 p.m., party of four, under Chen. We do have a 15-minute hold policy — if you're more than 15 minutes late, we may release the table. See you Saturday!

好的。那就是周六晚上 8:15，四位，Chen 名下。我们有 15 分钟保留政策——如果迟到超过 15 分钟，我们可能会释放桌位。周六见！

Thank you for calling Riverside Grill. How can I help?

Oh, I'm sorry — Saturday night is completely booked. We've been slammed all week with reservations.

哦，抱歉——周六晚上已经完全订满了。这一整周预订都爆满。

Yes, I can put you on our cancellation list. If anything opens up, we'll give you a call. Usually we get a few cancellations the day of. Can I get your name and number?

可以，我可以把您加到取消候补名单上。如果有空位，我们会打电话通知您。通常当天会有一些取消。请问您的名字和电话？

Absolutely, we have high chairs available. I'll make a note on your reservation. Any food allergies I should flag for the kitchen?

当然，我们有儿童高椅。我会在您的预订上备注。需要告知厨房什么食物过敏吗？

Got it — peanut allergy, severe. I'll flag that for the chef. We take allergies very seriously here. Is there anything else?

收到——花生过敏，严重。我会特别告知主厨。我们非常重视过敏问题。还有别的需要吗？

We do have a semi-private area, but it requires a minimum spend of $500. For the waitlist, I can note your preference, but I can't guarantee the private area until we confirm a table. I'll call you as soon as something opens up!

我们有一个半私密区域，但需要最低消费 500 美元。对于候补名单，我可以备注您的偏好，但在确认桌位之前不能保证包间。一有空位我马上打给您！
