點(diǎn)菜就餐的典型次序是:找一張桌子坐下——看菜單-—點(diǎn)菜——就餐-—付錢(qián)-—離開(kāi)。英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言的表達(dá)基本上也是依照次順序。“訂餐”在英文中有兩種說(shuō)法,即 to book a table 和 make a reservation。在英國(guó)以及其它很多國(guó)家,餐廳一般劃分為吸煙區(qū)和非吸煙區(qū)。一進(jìn)餐廳,服務(wù)員會(huì)主動(dòng)征詢(xún)客人的意見(jiàn),然后引領(lǐng)客人前往所選擇的區(qū)域就餐。

在西餐廳就餐,菜單一般由三類(lèi)不同的菜別組成。the first course 或者 starters 是指第一道菜,往往是湯、一小碟色拉或其它小吃。第二道菜是主菜,fish and chips 是魚(yú)和炸土豆條,它同“roast beef and york shir pudding——牛肉布丁”、“shepherd spie——牧羊人餡餅”一樣,都是典型的英國(guó)傳統(tǒng)菜肴。最后一道是甜食——或冷或熱,但都是甜的。西方飲食習(xí)慣是先吃咸的,后吃甜的。西餐菜單名目繁多,有時(shí)不易讀懂。遇到這種情況,可以請(qǐng)服務(wù)員解釋一下。
