GOING TO A RESTAURANT WITH A CHILD
带孩子去餐厅
Arriving at the restaurant
到达餐厅
Mom: Hello, we would like a table for four.
妈妈:你好,我们想要一张四人桌。
Could we sit in the non-smoking section please?
我们可以坐无烟区吗?
Restaurant staff: Okay, follow me.
餐厅服务员:好的,跟我来。
Will this table be okay?
这张桌子可以吗?
Mom: Yes, this is great.
妈妈:嗯,可以的。
Mom: Do you have a high chair or booster seat?
妈妈:你们有高餐椅或者加高儿童座椅吗?
Staff: Yes, we do have high chairs.
服务员:有的,我们有高餐椅。
Ill bring you one.
我一会儿给您拿一个。
Do you have a childrens menu?
你们有儿童菜单吗?
Staff: Yes, we do, I will bring one over.
服务员:嗯,有的,我一会儿拿过来一份。
Would you like some crayons for the child?
您需要我给孩子拿点儿蜡笔吗?
初到国外,点餐时被问到这个问题,可能会觉得有点奇怪,但是在英美国家的比较高级的餐厅,服务员看到你有孩子,就会问这个问题,免费提供这个服务,相当于国内的“要一份鸡蛋羹吗”......
Mom: Yes, please, that would be great.
妈妈:嗯嗯,那太好了。
Staff: Here you go, 2 menus, a childs menu and some crayons and a coloring page.
服务员:给您,2份菜单,一份儿童菜单,还有一些蜡笔和一张涂色纸。
注意,color是涂颜色的意思,所以,coloring page可不是彩纸,而是印有图案轮廓的,供小朋友们涂色的纸。
Mom: Thank you.
妈妈:谢谢。
Could I also get some hot water to make a bottle for my baby?
另外,我可以要一些热水给宝宝冲奶粉吗?
Make a bottle是冲奶粉的意思,因为冲奶粉一定会用到bottle-奶瓶。
Staff: No problem, can I get you some drinks to start with?
服务员:没问题,我先给您上点儿饮料?
Mom: Yes, can we have some water and an apple juice for my daughter?
妈妈:嗯,我们要点儿水,再给我女儿一杯苹果汁。
(1) 如果没有特别指明要bottled water-瓶装水,服务员会给你上tap water / table water,即免费的可饮用的自来水。(2) Juice作可数名词时,表达“一份果汁”。
Staff: I will get your drinks
服务员:稍后给您上饮料,
and will take your food order when I come back.
然后回来为您点餐。
Mom: Sweetie, what would you like for lunch?
妈妈:宝宝,你中午想吃什么?
Lets see what they have.
咱们看看他们有什么。
There is pasta with cheese or tomato sauce,
有意大利面,可以配奶酪或者番茄酱,
(1) Pasta是意大利面的统称,包括至少10种不同的面点,详见意大利面是pasta还是spaghetti?帮妈妈区分10种意面。儿童菜单上的cheesy pasta多为cheese-奶酪和macaroni-通心粉结合的。(2) Tomato sauce和ketchup都翻译成番茄酱,但是有区别,前者用于比较高端的餐饮,除了酱,里面还有西红柿块和一些香料,而且是新鲜制作的,用于意大利面等;后者就是酱。
sausage and mashed potatoes or fish and fries?
香肠,土豆泥,还是鱼和薯条?
Child: Cheesy pasta please!
宝宝:奶酪意大利面!
Staff: Hello, can I take your order now?
服务员:您好,现在可以为您点餐了吗?

妈妈:好,我可以先问一些问题吗?
With the childrens meals, do they come with a healthy option?
儿童套餐里有没有比较健康的菜品可以选?
Maybe a side of vegetables?

and some of the meals come with peas.
