How to order food in English at a restaurant?

Our portions are pretty generous! Most entrees are big enough for two people to share. I'd suggest ordering two or three entrees for your group of four and maybe an appetizer.

我们的份量挺大的！大多数主菜够两个人分。建议你们四个人点两到三个主菜，再加一个开胃菜。

Of course! I'll bring extra plates. We don't have a formal sharing menu, but you can definitely order family-style — just pick a few dishes and we'll bring them to the center of the table.

当然！我拿额外的盘子过来。我们没有正式的分享菜单，但你们完全可以家庭式点餐——选几道菜，我们放到桌中间大家一起吃。

The soup only comes in one size, but it's a pretty small bowl — perfect for sharing between two people. I'll put in the pasta, salmon, salad, and one soup. Anything to drink?

汤只有一种份量，不过碗不大——两个人分着喝刚好。那我下单意面、三文鱼、沙拉和一份汤。要喝什么吗？

There's a $3 split plate fee, and we'll divide it onto two plates with a side of bread for each. Or if you prefer, I can just bring an extra plate and you can split it yourselves at the table — no charge for that.

有3美元的分盘费，我们会分到两个盘子里，每人配一份面包。或者你们想的话，我拿一个空盘子过来你们自己分——那就不收费。

Sure! Swapping to a side salad is no extra charge. If you wanted sweet potato fries instead, that would be an extra $2. What dressing on the salad — ranch, vinaigrette, or blue cheese?

可以！换成沙拉不加钱。如果要换红薯薯条的话要加2美元。沙拉酱要什么——田园沙拉酱、油醋汁还是蓝纹奶酪？

You got it — vinaigrette on the side. Smart choice. I'll get this order in for you. It should be about 15 to 20 minutes for the steak.

收到——油醋汁放旁边。聪明的选择。我这就去下单。牛排大约15到20分钟。
