酒店英语口语会话必备手册
一.概述
在酒店里所使用的英语会话,基本上是属于商业英语,与日常生活会话中所使用的英语略有不同,较注重礼节。正式英语通常会让人误解为极艰深的英语,其实,只要套用一定格式的句子和单词,就可以了。例如:
非正式英语 正式英语
What’s your name? May I have your name?
您贵姓? 请问您贵姓大名?
Do you want some tea? Could you like some tea?
您要喝茶吗? 请问您想喝茶吗?
Over here, please. Could you come this way please?
这边请。 请您往这边走好吗?
* 不要说OK, Sure, Yeah等等,而要说Certainly, Sir.
* Hey, uh-huh, Hang on 等等,也不适合在酒店中使用。
* 别说“I don’t know.”回答“不知道”是非常不礼貌的说法。
可以说“just a moment, please. I’ll check that for you.” (请稍候,我来帮您确认),然后请有能力处理的人前来协助。
* 对男性客人,尊称为Sir; 面对女性客人时尊称为Ms.
在招呼客人时,最好说“Excuse me, Sir(Ms)”, 不要直接称呼Mr.或Ms. 至于称呼小孩,可以直接使用Excuse me,但是不可以直接称呼boy或girl.
* 正视对方的眼睛,以显示出你的信心和诚意。但必须注意,注视对方的眼睛,并不是无理地盯着对方看。
* 在面对语言不通的外籍人士时,一定要多加利用手势和肢体语言。但是使用手势时要特别小心,因为对于不同国家、民族而言,手势的意义也大不相同。
❷ 求一段英语对话:主人邀请朋友去家里吃饭,邀请前,就餐中,就餐后的情景都要描述出来。。大家帮帮忙
没找到邀请到家庭就餐的,这个是商务餐的对话,不过也包括了邀请和聚餐中的对话,希望对你有帮助:
这段对话的背景是这样的。在洛克夫妇接受了“哈尔及哈迪公司”代表提出的有关外包装颜色议题的建议之后,主人方面决定要好好地庆祝一下。哈维因此向洛克夫妇发出了邀请。
Harvey: Now. I have a surprise. We’ve booked the Southern Tower restaurant to celebrate our partnership.
哈维: 我要给你们一个惊喜。为了庆祝我们之间的合作伙伴关系,我们预定了南塔餐厅。
Harvey: We’d like to invite you to dinner.
哈维: 我们邀请二位共进晚餐。
Lok: The Southern Tower? We tried to go there but it’s booked out for months.
洛克: 您是说南塔餐厅吗?我们曾经想去那里吃饭,但是那家餐厅的位子已经被提前预定出好几个月了。
Harvey: Ah yes… but Douglas has a lot of influence in Sydney! We’ve booked a table for 7 o’clock. Caroline and Douglas will be there too.
哈维: 是这样啊,但道格拉斯在悉尼可是一个颇具影响力的人物呢。我们预定了今天晚上七点的一张桌子。卡罗琳和道格拉斯也将出席。
Lian: How wonderful. We’d love to come.
丽安: 这真是太好了。我们很高兴如约前往。
Lok: Yes, thank you.
洛克: 是啊,谢谢你们了。
在这部份对话中,哈维邀请洛克夫妇共进晚餐时使用了一个非常规范的英语说法。他说:
Harvey: We’d like to invite you to dinner.
哈维: 我们邀请二位共进晚餐。
除了这种比较正式的说法之外,我们还可以用以下几种句型来表达同样的意思。
Would you like to come to lunch?
你愿意一起吃午饭吗?
We’d be pleased if you could join us for dinner.
如果您可以和我们一起吃晚饭,我们会很高兴。
We’ve booked a table. We hope you can join us.
我们已经预定了餐馆,希望您能够和我们一起吃饭。
现在让我们跟着老师一起来练习这些句子。
We’d like to invite you to dinner.
Would you like to come to lunch?
We’d be pleased if you could join us for dinner.
We’ve booked a table. We hope you can join us.
受到邀请之后,洛克夫妇也欣然接受了哈维的一番好意。他们说:
Lian: How wonderful. We’d love to come.
丽安: 这真是太好了。我们很高兴如约前往。
Lok: Yes, thank you.
洛克: 是啊,谢谢你们了。
在接受他人的邀请时,我们还可以这样说:
That’s very kind. Thank you.
非常感谢您的好意。
Yes, I’d be pleased to accept.
好啊,我很高兴赴约。
How can I resist such a gracious invitation!
如此盛情,让我怎能拒绝呢?
请跟着老师一起来练习这些句子。
We’d love to come.
Yes, I’d be pleased to accept.
Yes, thank you.
How can I resist such a gracious invitation!
俗话说,人敬我一尺,我还人一丈。这也从某种角度说明拒绝别人的盛情邀约真的是一件困难的事呢。不过有些时候我们却不得不这样做。那么在回绝他人的邀请时我们应该怎么说呢?
That’s very kind of you but I’m afraid I have a prior engagement.
非常感谢您的好意,不过我已经有约在先了。
I’m sorry, I have to decline. I have family commitments.
很抱歉,我无法应邀,因为我家里有些事情。
I’m sorry, I won’t be able to make it. I have an important appointment that night.
很抱歉我无法赴约。我那个晚上有个重要的约会。
Sorry, I can’t, I’m busy that night. But thanks anyway.
很抱歉因为我那个晚上实在太忙了,不能应邀前往。不过非常感谢您。
不知您是否注意到了一点,那就是在回绝他人的邀请时,出于礼貌最好能够简单地说明原因。好,现在请跟着我们的老师一起来练习。
That’s very kind of you but I’m afraid I have a prior engagement.
I’m sorry, I have to decline. I have family commitments.
I’m sorry, I won’t be able to make it. I have an important appointment that night.
Sorry, I can’t, I’m busy that night. But thanks anyway.
在这段对话中,哈尔及哈迪公司的工作人员正在南塔餐厅宴请他们的业务伙伴洛克夫妇。请您特别注意接下来这部份对话中出现的生词和短语。
Douglas: This is the highest restaurant in the southern hemisphere.
道格拉斯: 这家餐馆是南半球最高的餐馆。
Lian: What a view. There’s the Opera House. We were there
yesterday.
丽安: 风景真好啊。那是悉尼歌剧院,我们昨天去那里参观的。
Waiter: Your menus.
服务员: 请您过目菜单。
Lian: Thank you.
丽安: 谢谢。
Waiter: Would you like to order drinks now?
服务员: 请问您要现在就点酒水吗?
Lian: I’ll just have a water to start, thanks.
丽安: 请先给我一杯水好吗,谢谢。
Douglas: We’ll have a bottle of this champagne please.
道格拉斯: 请给我们上一瓶这样的香槟酒。
Waiter: Fine. I’ll be back to take your dinner orders.
服务员: 好的。我过一会儿再来为您写点菜单。
Lian: Oh, there’s so much to choose from. What do you recommend?
丽安: 哦,这菜单真是太丰富了。你有什么特色菜肴可以推荐吗?
Douglas: Well if you like seafood, the roasted lobster here is delicious.
道格拉斯:如果您喜欢海鲜的话,这家餐厅的烤龙虾是非常好吃的。
Lok: That sounds good to me.
洛克: 听起来很不错。
Lian: I’ll have the Peking Duck.
丽安: 那我就点北京烤鸭好了。
Lok: Where is the Opera House?
洛克: 请问悉尼歌剧院在哪个方向呢?
Harvey: This is a revolving restaurant, Lok. We’ll see it again soon.
哈维: 这是一家旋转餐厅,洛克。我们一会儿还会再看到悉尼歌剧院的。
Lok: Oh, marvellous!
洛克: 噢,这太好了。
对话进行到这里,不知道您是否注意到了,其实在餐馆中用英语点菜时最常用的一个句型就是“’ll have…” 意思是“我要点什么什么菜”。您只要在这个句型的后面加上菜肴的名称就可以了。例如:
I’ll have the ck.
我要点鸭子。
I’ll have the chicken.
我要点鸡。
I’ll have the beef, thanks.
我要点牛肉,谢谢。
We’ll have a bottle of white wine, thank you.
我们要一瓶白酒,谢谢。
好,现在让我们跟着老师一起来练习这些句子。
I’ll have the ck.
I’ll have the chicken.
I’ll have the beef, thanks.
We’ll have a bottle of white wine, thank you.
如果是初次光顾一家餐厅,我们很有可能不太了解这家餐厅的特色菜肴,这种情况下请服务人员推荐菜谱可以说是一项不错的选择。我们可以这样对服务员说:
Lian: Oh, there’s so much to choose from. What do you recommend?
丽安: 哦,这菜单真是太丰富了。你有什么特色菜肴可以推荐吗?
另外,我们还可以说:
What do you suggest?
您有什么推荐的吗?
What’s good here?
你们这里的特色菜是什么?
好,请跟着老师一起来练习。
What do you recommend?
What do you suggest?
What’s good here?
虽然东西方在文化中存在着一些差异,但是在就餐的礼仪方面却大同小异。例如,不要嘴里含着食物讲话及食不露齿,使用牙签时要用一只手遮住口部等等。此外,如果您想取用自己拿不到的食物时,请不要伸手横跨桌面,因为这是一种不礼貌的行为。您可以这样说,来请同桌的人帮忙。
Excuse me, could you pass the sauce?
对不起,请您把那个酱料递给我。
好,现在让我来总结一下我们在这一课中学过的一些内容。
在向他人发出邀请时,我们可以这样说:
We’d like to invite you to dinner.
Would you like to come to lunch?
We’ve booked a table. We hope you can join us.
如果您可以接受对方的邀请,我们可以这样回复对方:
We’d love to come.
Yes, I’d be pleased to accept.
如果我们不能接受对方的邀请,您可以用下面这些句子礼貌地回绝邀请:
That’s very kind of you but I’m afraid I have a prior engagement.
I’m sorry, I have to decline. I have family commitments.
I’m sorry, I won’t be able to make it. I have an important appointment that night.
Sorry, I can’t, I’m busy that night. But thanks anyway.

❿ 请别人吃饭的英语对话三五分钟就可以了,请大家帮帮忙,急~~
I wonder if you have time this evening?
我想知道您今晚是否有空?
Would you be interested in dinner with me ?
今晚能请您吃个饭吗?
Which kind of restaurant do you prefer, Chinese or Western?
您喜欢去中餐厅还是西餐厅呢?
I’ll pick you up at 7:00 pm, if it’s ok with you.
如果合适的话,我晚上7点去接您。
美式地道用餐口语
我们来谈谈一些在餐厅内会用到的句子,以及一些跟吃饭有关的单字片语。配合美国的食物介绍一二集来看,相信从此以后到美国餐厅用餐不再是件难事。
1. Do you like to go out eating?
想不想出去吃呢?
有次我问老美出去吃东西怎么说,他回答说一般出去吃饭,他们只说go to eat ,go out eating 或是eat out 而不会说go to dinner,go for lunch,也就是不需特地说中餐或是晚餐。的所以后来老美问我刚去哪了,我应该要说的I just went out eating,而不会说I just went to dinner。小明细多注意,你的英文会更棒。
如果要强调是去吃午餐或晚餐的话,一般就直接说lunch 或是dinner。例如人家问你,“Where did you go?” 你就可答说“lunch。”
2. There is a Deli over there,do you like it?
那里有一家Deli(餐厅),你喜不喜欢呢?
美国的餐厅可分很多种,Restaurant 是一般的通称,另外常用到的有Deli :供应三明治,沙拉这种现成的,不需再经过烹调的餐厅,例如SUBWAY 就可以算是Deli。另外还有Grill 也随处可见,翻译成烤肉餐厅,多半是提供牛排,汉堡热食类的食物。
Deli 这个字是delicatessen 的简写,可是现今在美国一般只会听到deli 而很少听到delicatessen 了!
3. What do you like to drink?
想要喝什么?
美国餐厅的习惯,吃饭时都会点一大杯饮料,所以侍者一定会先问你What do you like to drink。也有人会这么说,Can I get you something to drink?。一般餐厅都会提供的有Coke,Diet Coke,Sprite,Iced Tea,以及Lemonade 等。如果什么都不要,就说Just water。
值得注意的是,在一般的速食店提到drink 都是指soft drink 而言。但是一般人说到have a drink 时,他们多半指的是alcoholic,也就是含酒精的饮料。所以如果有人问你,“Come on, have a drink with us.” 他绝不是要你跟他们一起喝可乐的意思,而是要你跟他们一起喝酒啦!
4. Are you ready to order or just a minute?
你们准备好了吗? 还是要再等一会?
通常饮料上桌之后,大伙都还要花点时间研究一下菜单,如果侍者看你们大概都差不多了,他就会过来问你们,Are you ready to order or just a minute?如果是已经准备好要点餐了,就直接跟她说你想吃什么,如果大家还要再研究研究,则可以跟侍者说Just a minute。或是Wait a few more minutes。请他等一下,他会说OK. I'll beback.(好,那我等下再来。)
5. Do you want to separate check?
你们要不要分开付帐?
比如说二对夫妻出去吃饭,大家想各自付自己的,则你们可以主动跟侍者说的We want to separate check。有时他们也会主动问你,Do you want to separate check?或是Do you want separate checks? 这样的话帐单就会有二张。但有些餐厅separatecheck 会多收服务费,最好先问清楚。如果是要一起付,则简单地说,together或是one check 就可以了。(本文来源:Hao360)
用外语请人吃饭的三点注意
人是铁饭是钢,不吃一顿饿得慌。在北京还真看到过“饭是钢”的餐厅,可见吃饭的重要性。中国人早就有这种说法,尽管“民以食为天”是旧的习俗,但是传统意义上的吃饭已经衍生为现代重要的交流与沟通的方式,它与你我的生活已经密不可分。人与人之间的交流、生意人之间的谈判、同事之间的沟通、亲人之间的亲密等等,但请客吃饭有一点是有共性的,那就是不管你的目的是谈生意还是与人约会,最终的打算是让对方高兴而来满意而去。
如何安排请人吃饭呢?以下几点务必注意:
一、在你请人吃饭的时候,你应该首先问问人家:"What are you in the mood for?"“您想吃什么?”"mood"这里有心情、心绪的意思,这句话中"be in the mood for"是一个固定的用法,意思是“想吃什么?”当然,如果这种用法用到别的地方,就有了不同的理解。比如,看到了电影院,你会这样问:"Are you in mood for a movie?"意思是“你想看一场电影吗?”自然,"for"后面还可以用"dancing,shopping,smoking等。但是千万不要说成"Are you in the mood?"这样就会引起人的误会了。
二、最重要的一点你可千万别忘记了,那就是谁请客的问题。一般经过你的倡议自然是你请客了,也就是你应该说"I'll treat you."“我请客。”当然,如果你请的外国人提议"separate checks",那就是中国人所谓的AA制了,也就是分别买单的意思,你吃多少就要付多少钱。如果是"split the bill",那就有区别了,一般这种宴请不会出现,那是平摊帐单的意思。在中国,一般同学、同事聚会就会用到最后一种。
三、最后一点可是人命关天了,那就是大家一起结伴出行吃饭,事先应决定谁开车的问题。面对美酒会开车的朋友自然要牺牲一位了,不然一旦都喝了酒,回来的时候可就泡了汤,谁也不敢开,谁也不能开了,谁来是违章,大伙的性命最重要。因此,大家在出行前会问"Who's gonna drive?"“谁来开车呢?”"gonna"是典型的美语,表示即将发生的事,其实就是"going to",同样,还有"wanna"即"want to",用法很特殊。这句话也可以说成"Who's driving"?但这种说法不如第一种流行。
