basicThere are so many options here! Let's walk around and see what looks good.
这里选择好多!我们走一圈看看什么好吃。
Good idea. I see Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Indian, and a pizza place. What are you in the mood for?

我想吃日餐。我去看看那家照烧店。你好,你们最受欢迎的是什么?
Our chicken teriyaki bowl is the best seller! It comes with rice, steamed vegetables, and teriyaki sauce. You can also add gyoza for $3 more. Would you like a sample?
照烧鸡肉饭最畅销!配米饭、蒸蔬菜和照烧酱。还可以加3美元来份煎饺。要试吃吗?

好选择!白米饭还是糙米饭?套餐含自助饮料——那边的饮料机自己接。
White rice, please. Is there a number system, or do I wait here?
白米饭。是叫号还是在这里等?

我现在给您做——大概3分钟。可以在这里等,也可以先找座位,我会叫号。您是47号。
I'll grab a seat. Is it hard to find tables during lunch hour?

Food Court Practical Tips · 美食广场实用技巧
intermediateExcuse me, is this seat taken?
请问这个位置有人吗?
No, go ahead! I'm actually just about to leave.
没有,请坐!我其实马上就走了。
Thanks! Do you know if there's a microwave somewhere? I brought my own lunch.
谢谢!你知道哪里有微波炉吗?我自己带了午饭。
I think there's one near the condiment station, over by the napkins and utensils. Some food courts have them for customers who bring their own food.
我想调料台那边有一个,就在餐巾纸和餐具旁边。有些美食广场给自带食物的顾客提供微波炉。
Found it, thanks. Hey, where do we bus our trays when we're done?
找到了,谢谢。对了,吃完了餐盘放哪里?
See those stations with the trash cans and the tray return? Just sort your trash — recycling on the left, trash on the right, and stack your tray on top. Some food courts have separate bins for compost too.
看到那些有垃圾桶和餐盘回收的地方了吗?分类一下垃圾——左边是可回收,右边是普通垃圾,餐盘摞在上面。有些美食广场还有堆肥专用箱。
Got it. Do the food court vendors accept credit cards, or is it cash only?
明白了。美食广场的摊位接受信用卡吗,还是只收现金?
Most places accept cards nowadays, but a few small vendors might be cash-only. There's an ATM near the entrance if you need cash. Some places also take Apple Pay and Google Pay.
现在大部分店都接受刷卡了,但有几个小摊位可能只收现金。入口附近有ATM机,如果需要现金的话。有些店还接受Apple Pay和Google Pay。
One of the vendors gave me a loyalty card. Is it worth it?
有一家给了我一张会员卡。值得办吗?
If you eat there regularly, definitely! Usually you get a stamp per visit and a free meal after 10 visits. Some food courts also have their own apps with deals and discounts for all the vendors.
如果经常去吃的话绝对值得!通常每次消费盖一个章,10次后免费吃一次。有些美食广场还有自己的App,所有摊位都有优惠和折扣。
Good to know. This food court is really convenient — everything in one place!
这个信息有用。这个美食广场真方便——什么都有!
