喺餐廳攞到你想要嘅嘢：分量、續杯、配菜、埋單同訂位

餐廳服務英文幫到你清楚落單、要求細微改動，仲可以唔使聽落咁直接咁應付一餐飯。好多餐都唔止係講出個食物名咁簡單。你可能需要問分量、要求續杯、揀配菜、夾錢分埋單，或者確認訂位。

呢啲詞之所以實用，係因為佢哋將食物同服務連埋一齊。餐牌可能寫住「grilled salmon」，但圍繞佢嘅對話包括「Does it come with a side?」「Could I get a refill?」「We have a reservation for seven.」「Could we get the check when you have a chance?」細細句嘅服務用語，令成餐飯都順暢啲。

重點分辨

portion（分量）係上畀一個人嘅食物分量。一份分量可以係 small、large、generous、light，或者夠晒分嚟食。唔好混淆 portion 同 plate。plate 係隻碟本身；portion 係碟上面食物嘅分量。

serving 都係指食物嘅分量，不過佢通常聽落較有量度、較籠統。「One serving of rice」可能會喺營養用語入面出現。「The portions here are huge」喺餐廳對話入面就自然啲。

refill（續杯）係多斟同一款飲品，通常喺杯部分或者完全空咗之後。你可以要求續杯水、汽水、咖啡或者茶。有啲餐廳續杯免費，有啲就要另外收錢。

side dish（配菜）係同主菜一齊上嘅較細食物。薯條、沙律、飯、蔬菜、湯同薯蓉都可以做配菜。main dish 或者 entree 係一餐嘅主角。

check（埋單／賬單）係你食完之後要畀嘅賬單。喺好多輕鬆嘅餐廳，「check」比「bill」自然，不過兩個字都有人明。reservation（訂位）係你到埗之前做嘅安排，通常會指明時間同人數。

例句

"Do you have a reservation?"

"Yes, we have a reservation under Lopez for six thirty."

"How large are the portions here?"

"Is this enough to share, or is it more of a single portion?"

"Does the chicken come with a side dish?"

"Could I substitute salad for fries?"

"Could I get a refill on my coffee?"

"Would you mind topping off my water?"

"Could we get separate checks, please?"

"Could you bring the check when you have a chance?"

問分量

當你肚餓、想夾餸食，或者唔想叫得太多嘅時候，問分量嘅問題就好有用。問得直接但有禮貌：

"How big is the portion?"

"Is this dish enough for two people to share?"

"Are the appetizers small, or are they shareable?"

"Is the lunch portion smaller than the dinner portion?"

食物到咗之後你亦可以評論：「This is a generous portion.」「The portion is smaller than I expected.」「This is plenty for me.」「We probably ordered too much.」

要求續杯

要求續杯嘅用語應該聽落簡單又友善。最常見嘅句式係「Could I get a refill on...?」

"Could I get a refill on my iced tea?"

"Could we have a little more water?"

"Could you top off my coffee?"

"Do refills come with this drink?"

"Are refills free?"

當杯入面已經有少少飲品、你想多斟少少，就用 top off。當你想要多一杯滿或者接近滿嘅飲品，就用 refill。

配菜同替換

配菜用語幫到你了解隨單包咩。可以問「What sides come with it?」或者「Do I get a choice of side?」如果餐牌寫住「choice of two sides」，你就可以揀兩款較細嘅。

要求改動就用 substitute 或者 swap。「Could I substitute rice for fries?」即係你想要飯，唔要薯條。「Could I swap the fries for a salad?」就比較輕鬆自然。

訂位同到埗用語

喺迎賓台，句子要保持簡短：

"Hi, we have a reservation under Chen."

"We have a table for three at seven."

"We do not have a reservation. What is the wait time?"

"Could we sit outside if a table is available?"

"One more person may join us."

學習者常犯嘅錯誤

唔好講「I reserved a restaurant」。要講「I made a reservation at a restaurant」或者「I reserved a table」。

喺一般餐廳對話入面，唔好講「the food amount is big」。要講「the portion is large」或者「the portions are generous」。

唔好講「give me water again」。要講「Could I get a refill?」或者「Could we have more water?」

唔好淨係講「change fries to salad」。要講「Could I substitute salad for fries?」

唔好講「give me the money paper」。要講「Could we get the check?」

如果你想講每個人各自畀錢，唔好講「divide the bill for us」。要講「Could we get separate checks?」

實用範例段落

"We have a reservation under Rivera for four people. Before we order, I want to ask about the portion size because we may share a few dishes. Does the grilled chicken come with a side, and could I substitute vegetables for fries? I would also like to know whether the iced tea has free refills. At the end, we will probably need separate checks, but there is no rush."

小練習

揀一個餐廳情境，用四句句子去描述佢。要包括訂位、分量、配菜同埋單。

例子：「We have a reservation under Morgan. The pasta portion looks generous, so two people could share it. I would like a side salad instead of fries. Could we get separate checks at the end?」
