Lesson: 課文
Eating in Western restaurants is a little different from eating in a Chinese restaurant. It is important to understand the differences and follow them. When in Rome, do as the Romans do and take the chance to practice your English skills.
在中西餐館就餐有所不同。了解并遵循這些差別是很重要的。入鄉(xiāng)隨俗，同時(shí)利用這個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)來練練你的英語吧。
When you first arrive at the restaurant, you should wait for one of the staff to show you to a table. Sometimes it is OK to find a table for yourself but you should ask first.
當(dāng)剛進(jìn)入西餐館時(shí)，您應(yīng)該等侍者帶你到餐桌，不過有時(shí)候經(jīng)餐館同意后，你也可以自己找一張餐桌。
In a western restaurant, each person generally orders their own food or dishes and eats what they order. Western people don't put all of the food in the middle of the table and share.
在西餐館，一般每個(gè)人都各點(diǎn)自己的食物，西方人不把食物放到桌子中間大家分享。
One of the biggest differences between Chinese restaurants and western restaurants is the noise. Most western restaurants are quiet and people speak in quiet voices. Avoid shouting especially to the staff. If you do this, people may think that you are a rude dude.
中西館的最大差別是餐館里的聲音。大多西餐館很安靜，人們說話也小聲。避免對(duì)侍者大聲呼叫，如果你這樣做人們會(huì)認(rèn)為你很粗魯。
If you need service, you should try to attract the staff's attention with your eyes not your voice. It's best not to raise your hand and wave at them either.
如果你需要服務(wù)，你應(yīng)該用眼睛而不是聲音來來引起侍者注意。最好也不要舉手或向他們招手示意。
Both Chinese and Western people love to drink with their food especially wine or beer. The difference is that usually there will only be one or two toasts during the meal. It is not necessary to toast each time you pick up your glass.
中西方人都喜歡在進(jìn)餐時(shí)喝酒，尤其是啤酒或葡萄酒。不同的是，(西方人)一般席間只祝酒一次或兩次，而不是每次舉杯都祝酒。
When the bill at the end of the meal comes most people like to divide the bill equally by the number of people eating. This is called 'going dutch'. If the service and food have been good, you should leave a tip. Usually 10% of the bill is a good tip.
付帳時(shí)，進(jìn)餐者一般將帳單的金額按照人數(shù)均分，我們稱為“AA制”。如果服務(wù)和食物好，你應(yīng)該留一點(diǎn)小費(fèi)，一般小費(fèi)是帳單的10%。
