1、餐厅点餐请给我菜单。May I have a menu,please？是否有中文菜单？Do you have a menu in chinese？在用晚餐前想喝些什麼吗？Would you like something to drink before dinner？餐厅有些什麼餐前酒？What kind of drinks do you have for an aperitif？可否让我看看酒单？May I see the wine list？我可以点杯酒吗？May I order a glass of wine？餐厅有那几类酒？What kind of wine do you have？我想

2、点当地出产的酒。Id like to have some local wine.我想要喝法国红酒。Id like to have Frence red wine.是否可建议一些不错的酒？Could you recommend some good wine？我可以点餐了吗？May I order,please？餐厅最特别的菜式是什麼？What is the specialty of the house？餐厅有今日特餐吗？Do you have todays special？我可以点与那份相同的餐吗？Can I have the same dish as that？我想要一份开胃菜与排餐(鱼餐)。

3、Id like appetizers and meat(fish) dish.我正在节食中。Im on a diet.我必须避免含油脂(盐份/糖份)的食物。I have to avoid food containing fat(salt/suger).餐厅是否有供应素食餐？Do you have vegetarian dishs？你的牛排要如何烹调？How do you like your steak？全熟(五分熟/全生)。Well done (medium/rare),please. 购物买衣服必备 1. Im just browsing. 我只是随便看看。 在美国逛街买衣服，“Im jus

4、t browsing.” 和 “Im just looking.” 这两句一定要先学会。因为一般当你走进一家店时，小姐们通常都会走过来亲切地和你打招呼，问你 “May I help you?” (需要帮忙吗？) 或是 “Are you looking for something?” (你想找什么样的衣服？) 如果你只是想随便看一看，不妨客气地跟她说声：Im just browsing. 或是 Im just looking. 这样子她们就不会继续纠缠下去，会让你在店里随便逛。我可不希望美国人觉得我们东方人很不礼貌，别人好心问你，你却装作一副没听到的样子。（其实是英语不好，不敢开口。） 但如果你

5、是真的要找某一件特定的商品，比方说你想找一件高领毛衣，你就可以说：Im looking for a turtle neck sweater. Could you help me? （我在找一件高领的毛衣能帮我一下吗？）或是 Do you have any turtle neck sweaters? （你们有卖高领的毛衣吗？） 2. May I try this on? 我能试穿这一件吗？ 买衣服最好要试穿一下。通常商场和专卖店都有试衣间，地摊和批发市场一般就没有了。要是不知道试衣间在哪儿的话，则可以问店员：Where is the fitting room?（试衣间在哪？）。如果是不太确定能不

6、能试穿的话，特别像是在大拍卖的时候，最好还是问店员一声，“May I try this on?”免得做出一些愚蠢的事。 3.I like this tank top.It goes with my baggy jeans.(我喜欢这件背心，它很配我的宽松牛仔裤。)tank top就是背心。有一种男生穿的纯白背心，美国人把它戏称为“wife-beater”。因为他们觉得穿这种背心的人通常有结实的肌肉，回家后喜欢打老婆。“baggy”是“宽松”的意思，如男生穿的宽松短裤就叫“baggy pants”。而我们熟悉的直筒牛仔裤是“straight jeans”。4.Could you help me

7、pick up a dress?(你能帮我挑一件礼服吗？)在正式场合，每位女士几乎都有一套正式礼服(即dress)，特别是那种低胸(low cut)连身裙(evening gown)。有时可以用“dressy”来强调这件礼服很漂亮很时髦，如“Her dressy dress really caught my eyes.”(我的目光被她漂亮的礼服所吸引。)而“dress up”则是指作正式的穿着打扮，男女都可用，也就是女生穿礼服、男生穿西装打领带了。5.I just want to buy some off-the-rack clothes.(我只想随便买一些现成的衣服。)“rack”指的是衣架

8、，所以“off-the-rack”指的是那种由工厂大量制造的成衣，通常指很普通、不是特别好的衣服。例如在某夜市买来的地摊货，就可以说“Its just something off-the-rack.”(只是件普通的衣服啦！)相比较而言，“custom-made”或“tailor-made”指的是“定做”的。如，“Ineed to get a custom-made tuxes do for my wedding.”(我要为婚礼去定作一件燕尾服。)6.This shirt is very stylish and not very expensive.(这件衬衫又时髦又便宜。)“Good-look

9、ing”就是“好看”，“stylish”则是“时髦”，可以用“good-looking”和“stylish”来称赞某件衣服。另外，也可以用“becoming”，指“合身又好看”。7.I dont think this one will fit me.(我觉得这件衣服不合身。)买衣服时看到一件自己中意的衣服，却偏偏没有合适的尺寸，可以说“Its not my size.”或“It wont fit me.”(大小不合适)。有些商店挂着“alteration”的招牌，则是指可以提供修改衣服的服务。8.Your clothes dont match.(你的衣服不太配。)这句话指的是衣服不配，可能是颜

10、色不配，也可能是样式不配。当然，外国人的审美观和我们中国人不大一样，营业员说这句话，你可不必太把它当回事。9 Let me ring that up for you! 让我帮你结帐吧！ 买方结帐最标准的讲法是 check out，例如你衣服都买好了，就可以拿到收银台 (cash register)，跟店员说，“I want to check out.”她就会帮你算钱。另外还有些店员喜欢用 ring it up 这个片语，同样也是结帐的意思，为什么呢？因为在开收银机的时候不是通常会听到 ring 的一声吗？所以这个 ring it up 就有了“结帐”的意思。 比方说你看上了一件衣服但没有标示价

11、钱，你拿着衣服去问收银员，结果她告诉你这件衣服只要 $9.99。这时候你就可以用 ring it up 这个片语来回答她：OK. Go ahead and ring it up for me. （好，那就帮我结帐吧！）有时候店员看到你拿着衣服走过来，她也会主动跟你说：Let me ring that up for you. 对各位喜欢逛街买衣服的朋友来说，这一次介绍的绝对都是你必读的内容。等你出国逛街的时候，就知道未雨绸缪的好处了！ 购物杀价十句话 1. Could you give me a discount? 能给我个折扣吗？2. Are these clothes on sale? 这些

12、衣服打特价吗？3. Is the price negotiable? 这价钱可以商量吗？4. How about buy one and get one free? 买一送一怎么样？5. Can you give me a better deal? 可以给我更好的价钱吗？6. Id buy it right away if it were cheaper. 便宜一点的话我马上买。7. The price is beyond my budget. 这价钱超出我的预算了。8. Ill give 500 dollars for it. 五百块我就买。9. Thats steep, isnt it?

13、这价钱太离谱了吧？10. Its too expensive. I cant afford it. 太贵了。我买不起。购物英语口语退货 SALESPERSON: May I help you?SARAH: Yes, I would like to return these slacks.SALESPERSON: Alright.
