餐馆常用英语

在餐馆就餐时，我们通常会先点菜，然后等菜上齐后就开始吃饭；在西方餐饮文化中，通常在主菜之前有相应的开胃食品(starters)，之后包括主菜(main dishes)、甜点(desserts)及饮料(beverages)。一些餐馆的菜单或广告上印有licensed或fully licensed 的字样，这表明这些餐馆有特许卖酒的执照。在餐馆用餐后应该给服务生的相应的小费，数额一般为顾客就餐费用的15%左右。一些比较讲究的餐馆内设有钢琴，有的还有乐队，甚至还为用餐者提供跳舞的场地。

A: Where would you like to go for dinner? 今天晚上你想去哪儿吃饭？

重点词组
(A) Would you like to...?
would like+名词或代词时，表示的是“具体要”某样东西；
would like+动词不定式(to do sth.)时，表示“愿望，喜爱”，常用于有礼貌地提出邀请，请求或建议。
(B) suggest
1. Suggest表示建议，用法如下：
1) suggest+名词/代词或 suggest+名词/代词+to+人，但不能说suggest sb sth，即不能加双宾做宾语。
eg: We suggest him the plan. (Χ) We suggest the plan to him. (√)
2) suggest+doing sth
eg: He suggested going out for a walk. 他建议去外面散会步。
注意：suggest 不可以加不定式，所以上面的句子不可以这样写：
He suggested to go out for a walk. (Χ)
3) suggest+(that)+主语+(should) do+sth，其中的should可以省略。
eg: He suggested that you should go there tomorrow.
=He suggested you go there tomorrow.
注意，不可以这样说：He suggested you to go there tomorrow. 也就是说suggest不可以加不定式的复合结构。
4) It is suggested that +主语+(should) do sth
eg: It is suggested that the work (should) be finished at once.
5) suggestion做主语时，其后的表语从句也用这个结构即：
The suggestion is that +主语+should +do sth
eg: His suggestion is that I should leave for Beijing immediately.
2. suggest 表示暗示或表明之意，注意此时做主语时后面的表语从句用陈述语气。
eg: Her yawnsuggested that she was sleepy.
她哈欠连天表明她困了。
