How to order food in English at a restaurant?

We're done, thanks. The food was great, but the portions were huge! Can I get a box for the leftovers?

吃完了，谢谢。菜很好吃，但份量太大了！能给我一个打包盒吗？

💡 在美国打包剩菜非常普遍，完全不丢脸。几乎每桌都会打包。说 box / to-go box / to-go container 都可以。'doggy bag' 比较老式但还有人用。

We can do it ourselves, thanks. Could we also get the check when you get a chance?

我们自己来就好，谢谢。方便的时候也把账单拿来好吗？

💡 在美国，服务员不会主动拿账单，你需要主动要（ask for the check/bill）。说 'when you get a chance' 是很礼貌的说法。

Thank you! Everything was delicious. We'll definitely come back.

谢谢！都很好吃。我们一定会再来的。

💡 离开时说 'We'll definitely come back' 是对餐厅最好的赞美。服务员通常会非常感谢。别忘了留小费（一般15-20%）。

Could I get a few boxes? I want to keep the fish separate from the pasta so it doesn't get soggy. And is the soup okay to take home?

能给我几个盒子吗？我想把鱼和意面分开装，不然会变软。汤可以打包吗？

💡 美国大多数餐厅的打包盒是免费的，要多少给多少。汤通常会装在带盖的杯子里。分开装不同的菜完全没问题。

Thanks! Quick question — the sushi we didn't finish, is it safe to take home? I'm not sure about raw fish sitting out.

谢谢！快问一下——我们没吃完的寿司，打包回去安全吗？我不太确定生鱼放着行不行。

💡 生鱼片/寿司打包是有食品安全考量的。如果要打包，尽快放冰箱，2小时内吃掉最安全。很多美国人都会打包寿司。

A cold pack would be great — we have a 30-minute drive home. Also, do you have a bag for all these boxes?

冰袋太好了——我们开车回家要30分钟。另外，这些盒子有袋子装吗？

💡 美国大多数餐厅会提供免费的塑料袋或纸袋装打包盒。有些环保意识强的餐厅可能不提供，可以自带。

That's everything. Thank you so much for being so helpful. Have a great night!

就这些了。非常感谢你这么热心。祝你晚上愉快！

💡 离开餐厅时对服务员说 'Have a great night' 是标准的美国礼貌用语。记得在账单上写小费金额并签名。
