Simple Box Request · 简单打包
basicHow was everything? Can I get you anything else?
一切还好吗？还需要什么吗？
💡 "Are you still working on that?" 是美国服务员的标准说法，意思是"还在吃吗"。working on 在这里不是"工作"的意思。
Everything was great! Could I get a box for the rest of this?
都很好！能给我一个打包盒装剩下的吗？
💡 在美国打包剩菜说 "Can I get a box" 或 "Can I get a to-go box"。不要说 doggy bag，这个说法已经过时了。打包在美国完全正常，不丢人——份量本来就大，服务员见惯了。
Of course! I'll bring you a box. Would you like me to pack it up, or do you want to do it yourself?
当然！我给你拿个盒子。要我帮你装吗，还是你自己来？
I'll do it myself, thanks. Could I also get the check?
我自己来吧，谢谢。顺便买单好吗？
💡 在美国，要求打包时顺便要账单（check）是很正常的流程。
Sure! Here's your box and your check. No rush!
好的！给你盒子和账单。不着急！
Large Portions Multiple Boxes · 份量太大多道菜打包
intermediateThis portion is huge! There's no way I can finish all of this.
这份量太大了！我肯定吃不完。
💡 美国餐厅份量通常是中国的 1.5-2 倍。吃不完非常正常，大部分美国人都会打包。据统计，美国人在餐厅平均会打包 40% 的食物。
Yeah, our portions are pretty big! Want me to bring you some boxes?
是的，我们份量挺大的！要我拿几个盒子来吗？
Yes, please. Could I get two boxes? One for the pasta and one for the steak.
好的。能给我两个盒子吗？一个装意面，一个装牛排。
Here you go — two boxes. Oh, and just so you know, the pasta is even better the next day!
给你——两个盒子。对了，告诉你，这个意面放到第二天更好吃！
💡 美国服务员经常会告诉你剩菜怎么加热最好。这是友好的服务，不是在催你走。
Good to know! Thanks for the tip. That'll be great for lunch tomorrow.
好的！谢谢提醒。明天午饭正好吃。
