文化知识空投坊:

吃在美国聊美食文化——点餐

Arriving at Restaurant

When you arrive at most restaurant,you should not just go in and sit down-unless you see a sign saying“Please seat yourself”.Usually you will have to wait for a“hostess”or“captain”to escort you to a table.Often there will be a sign that reads“Please wait to be seated”.Do not expect to share a table with other parties,even if the restaurant is crowed.It just isnt done.Many restaurant have a no-smoking section,in some place by lows.

One excellent American custom is that after you have sat down your waiter or waitress will often bring you a glass or water(with ice naturally)and will keep on refilling it throughout the meal.(Most American are incapable of eating a meal without drinking something at the same time.)

When your waiter or waitress takes your order,it is not very normal for one person to order for the whole table.Each person orders separately,except in the most expensive restaurants.

Summoning a waiter

You may find your waiter unusually friendly.He may ask you how you are(Youre supposed just to say“Fine”),inquire whether you have a good day and,later on say that he hopes you will enjoy your meal.

To summon a waiter in an American restaurant you may call“Bill”,or“Mary”,or“Claude”,orwhatever.Waiters and waitresses often actually introduce themselves when they first come to your table or wear name tags,you are permitted to use their first names.At many restaurant you can ask the waiter to bring the bill and then pay at a cash desk.

到达餐馆

当到达大多数的餐馆时,你不能直接走进去并且坐下,除非你看到指示牌上写着“请随便坐”。通常你需要等待领班引领您到餐桌。通常会有指示牌上写着“请稍等一下座位”。不要希望与别的就餐者拼桌,即使餐厅很挤。这是不肯的。很多餐厅都提供无烟区,或者低烟区。

另一个习俗是你坐下后,侍者将会端上一杯水(通常都是有冰的)之后整个就餐过程都会被不断的添满的。(大多数美国人都不习惯聚餐中间没有喝的)当侍者拿来菜单时候,不会出现一个人给全桌人点餐的现象。每个人都是单独点餐的,特别是到大多数高档的餐厅。

召唤侍者

你会发现侍者都是非常的热情。他可能会问候你(你可以只是说声很好),或者问候你是否过得愉快,之后还会送上祝福,希望你用餐愉快。

召唤侍者,在美国你可以叫“比尔”或者“玛丽”,或者“克劳德”或者别的什么。侍者通常都会在第一次见面时自我介绍或者带着名牌,你可以叫他们的名字。在大多数的餐厅你可以让侍者拿来账单之后再去收款台缴费。
