热爱美食吗?那你怎么可以不学“美食英语”!用餐是每天必不可少的活动,与家人吃饭可以很随意;和老外一起吃饭呢?在异国他乡用餐呢?
我们担心 menu (菜单)看不懂,不知在餐厅场景里说点什么?更担心因不了解 table manner (餐桌礼仪)而闹出洋相。也许你的脑子里只有诸如 “delicious, tasty, yummy” 几个词,也许你只会埋头闷吃而不敢言。

Last night I went to an Italian restaurant. For a main course, I had spaghetti Bolognese. It was very good. It’s made with beef and tomatoes.
昨晚我去了意大利餐厅。主菜我选了意大利肉酱面。非常好吃。看起来这道美味是用牛肉和番茄做的。
Last week I went to a French restaurant. For dessert, I had crème brulee. It was really sweet. It’s made with vanilla and cream.
上周我去了家法国料理餐厅。我选了法式焦糖炖蛋作甜品。里面有香草和奶油,真的非常甜哦!
