4. 文化注释(Cultural Notes)
- 小费文化:美国餐厅小费通常 15-20%(甚至更多),不给小费被认为非常粗鲁。英国餐厅通常会自动加 10-12.5% 的 service charge(显示在账单上),如果没有加,给 10% 左右即可。在快餐店、酒吧不需要给小费。
- "Service included?":在英国点餐时,这是一个非常实用的问题。如果账单上已经显示了
service charge,你不需要额外给小费。如果你想取消 service charge 自己给,可以要求。 - 英式 vs 美式点餐:英国服务员通常等你自己准备好后才会过来问
Are you ready to order?,不会催你。在美国,服务员可能会更频繁地过来问,这被视为"热情的服务"。 - 排队等位:在英美,热门餐厅可能需要等位。英国人会在门口等,美国很多餐厅有 paging system(给你一个震动器,桌子准备好了会震动通知你)。
- "How's everything?":在美国,服务员在菜上来几分钟后一定会来问这句话,意思是"菜怎么样?"。标准回答是
Great, thanks!。英国服务员也会来问,但不会那么频繁。 - 打包文化:在美国,打包非常普遍,说
Can I get a to-go box?即可。在英国也完全没问题,说Can I get a takeaway box?或Can you pack this up?。 - Water:在美国,餐厅通常会自动给你倒一杯冰水(免费的)。在英国,你需要主动要水——
Tap water, please.是完全正常的请求,而且是免费的。
5. 场景对话(Dialogue)
对话 1:餐厅点餐
Waiter: Hi there, welcome to The Rose. Have you got a reservation?
B: Yes, under Chen — table for two at 7pm.
Waiter: Perfect, right this way. Can I get you started with some drinks while you look at the menus?
A: I'll have a glass of the house white, please.
B: Just tap water for me, thanks.
Waiter: Certainly. I'll give you a few minutes to decide on food.
(Later)
Waiter: Are you ready to order?
A: Yes, I'll have the mushroom risotto to start, then the lamb shank for main.
B: I'll go for the soup of the day, and the salmon. Oh, does the salmon come with a sauce?
Waiter: It comes with a dill and lemon butter sauce. Any allergies?
B: I'm allergic to nuts — is there anything with nuts in either dish?
Waiter: The soup has walnuts on top, but I can ask the kitchen to leave them off.
B: That'd be great, thanks.
Waiter: No problem. I'll get those started for you.
对话 2:结账
B: Excuse me, could we have the bill, please?
Waiter: Of course. Would you like it together or separate?
B: Separate, please.
Waiter: Here you go. Is service charge included — that's 12.5%. You don't need to leave anything extra unless you want to.
A: (looking at bill) Right, mine comes to £34.80 with the service. Can I pay by card?
Waiter: Absolutely. I can take it over at the till whenever you're ready.
A: (pays) Thank you. The food was lovely, by the way.
Waiter: I'm glad you enjoyed it! Have a good evening.
对话 3:在酒吧点餐
B: Hi, can I order food here, or is it drinks only?
Barman: We do food — the menu's on the tables over there. Just come to the bar to order when you're ready.
A: Great, thanks. What do you fancy?
B: I'm quite hungry — maybe the burger? Oh, but it doesn't say if it comes with chips.
A: Most pub burgers do. Let's order and ask. (goes to bar) Hi, can we get a cheese burger and a chicken Caesar salad, please? Does the burger come with chips?
Barman: Yeah, it comes with chips and coleslaw. Anything to drink?
A: Two pints of IPA, please. Do we need a table number?
Barman: No, just take a seat wherever you like and I'll bring it over.
B: Oh, and can we get the burger without gherkins?
Barman: No problem at all. That's £23.90 all together. I'll bring the drinks over now and the food in about 15 minutes.
B: Cheers!
