今日繼續講講西餐禮儀。吃完晚飯,伙計會走過來問你"Would you like to take a look at our dessert menu?"
Would you like to ... 非常有用,讀者一定要好好運用。
吃飯後,伙計經常會問
Would you like to take a look at our dessert menu? (你要不要看看我們的甜品菜單?)
Would you like to have some tea or coffee? (你要不要點茶或咖啡?)
Would you like... 是一個很客氣的用法。
很多人受不了晚上喝咖啡,那可以要低咖啡因咖啡。你可以問"Can I have (a) decaf coffee?" 。雖然coffee並非countable noun, 但是在美國你會經常在餐廳聽到"Two coffees"或者"Two waters",而不是two cups of coffee.
如果你點咖啡,伙計可能會問你“Would you like cream or sugar for your coffee?” (你要不要奶或糖?)
記住,如果你不要糖,你可以禮貌地說"No, thank you."。記住,禮多人不怪,去餐館吃飯一句thank you少不得!
