日期:2012-08-21 20:47

(单词翻译:单击)

当你升职加薪,或是比赛胜利等等很多时候,你都会需要请客。那么在请客的时候我们怎样大方得体的请客呢?今天我们就好好来谈谈。

当你想请别人吃一个冰淇淋时,该如何说呢?很简单,只要一句“I'll treat you to ice cream.”就行了。这天,Susan就请她的中国朋友Mary和Linda到快餐馆吃饭。

S: Here we are. This is my favourite place.

(到了,这里就是我最喜欢的地方)

M: How many times have you come here?

(你来过这里几次啊)

S: I never counted.

(从来没有算过)

L: I'd like to sit near the window.

(我想坐靠窗户的位置)

S: Please be seated. It's my treat today.

(请坐吧,今天我请客)

M: Fast food restaurants are popular now.

(现在快餐店很受欢迎啊)

L: They are popular for quick, inexpensive meals or snacks.

(他们的饭或者小吃因为快速而又便宜而受欢迎)

S: What would you like to eat?

(你想吃什么)

L: I'll try a steak sandwich with a hamburger.

(我想要一份牛排三明治和一个汉堡)

M: Sounds good. I think I'll have the same.

(听起来不错,我也要一样的)

S: Want something to drink?

(想要喝点什么吗)

L: Coke, please.

(可乐,谢谢)

M: A cup of hot chocolate would be fine.

(一杯热巧克力吧)

Notes:

1. It's my treat today.今天我请客,treat是请客的意思,在这里作名词。

It's my treat. One Bill, please.

我请客。开在一起吧。

Don't worry. I've got money. It's my treat.

别担心,我有钱。我请你。

It's my treat. It's on me . Let me pay. Be my guest . I'm paying . I got it. Don't say word . It's my pleasure. Next time you can pay.

我请客。我请客。让我付钱。我请客,我来买单。不要争,这是我的荣幸。下次你可以付。

2.What would you like to eat?你想要吃什么

在请客的时候,一定不要自己自作主张,应该先问对方想吃什么,不要自己一股脑全部点了,这就有点不像是在请客了。下期节目中我们将就这个问题继续深入。
