How to order food in English at a restaurant?

Can I get you started with something to drink? Here's our wine list.

先给您来点喝的？这是我们的酒单。

For the steak, I'd suggest a full-bodied red — our Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with beef. For the salmon, a lighter Pinot Noir or a Chardonnay would work well. Would you like a glass of each, or would you prefer a bottle to share?

配牛排的话，我推荐一款酒体饱满的红酒——我们的赤霞珠和牛肉非常搭。三文鱼的话，清淡一点的黑皮诺或霞多丽都不错。要各来一杯，还是开一瓶共享？

The 2019 Napa Valley Cabernet is $65 a bottle. We also have a very nice Argentinian Malbec for $45 if you'd like something a bit more affordable but still excellent with steak.

2019年纳帕谷赤霞珠每瓶65美元。如果想要实惠一点但同样配牛排很棒的，我们还有一款阿根廷马尔贝克45美元。

Of course. Our Sonoma Chardonnay is $14 a glass — it's crisp and buttery, perfect with fish. I'll bring the bottle first so you can taste it before I pour.

当然。我们的索诺玛霞多丽每杯14美元——清爽带有黄油感，配鱼非常好。我先把红酒拿来让您品尝一下再倒。

💡 在西式餐厅，服务员会先让点酒的人品尝一小口确认没问题再正式倒酒。这时你只需要轻啜一口，然后点头说"That's great"就行。

We have a lovely late-harvest Riesling and a port wine. I can bring the dessert wine menu when you're ready for dessert. Enjoy your wines!

我们有一款很不错的晚收雷司令和波特酒。等您准备点甜点时我把甜酒单拿来。享用您的葡萄酒！

Our signature cocktail is the 'Sunset Spritz' — it's made with Aperol, prosecco, and a splash of blood orange. If you prefer something stronger, our Old Fashioned is very popular. What flavors do you typically enjoy?

我们的招牌鸡尾酒是'日落气泡酒'——用阿佩罗、普罗塞克和一点血橙调制。如果您喜欢烈一点的，我们的老式鸡尾酒很受欢迎。您一般喜欢什么口味？

I'd recommend our mojito — it's minty and citrusy with just a hint of sweetness. Or if you want something more tropical, the passion fruit margarita is tangy and refreshing. Both are great choices for a warm evening.

我推荐我们的莫吉托——薄荷和柑橘味，带一点点甜。或者想要热带风情的话，百香果玛格丽特酸爽又清凉。温暖的夜晚两款都是好选择。

Absolutely — I'll go light on the simple syrup. Would you like it with white rum or dark rum? Dark rum adds a bit more depth and caramel flavor.

没问题——糖浆少放。要白朗姆还是黑朗姆？黑朗姆口感更有层次，带焦糖味。

Of course! We have a great mocktail menu. The virgin mojito is popular, and we also have a cucumber-elderflower spritz that's really refreshing. They're all $8 — same presentation as our regular cocktails, just without the alcohol.

当然！我们有很棒的无酒精菜单。无酒精莫吉托很受欢迎，还有黄瓜接骨木花气泡饮非常清爽。都是8美元——和普通鸡尾酒一样精心调制，只是没有酒精。

Sure! I'll need a credit card to hold the tab. I'll bring your drinks right out. Cheers!

好的！需要一张信用卡作担保。马上为您调酒。干杯！
