(四) 美国用餐常识
中国菜着重色、香、味, 西餐讲究实惠。初到美国餐馆用餐,应该注意如下事项:
1)选择合适的餐馆(如:家庭式餐馆、特色餐馆以及自助式餐馆等);
2)餐馆营业时间(上午11:30开门营业,直到夜晚);
3)一般都应事先预订餐位:
4)到达餐馆后,不能径直地到餐桌旁入桌,除非餐厅有“随意就坐”的告示;
5)付款时,别忘了留给服务员一定比例的小费(一般为实际总额的10%~15%)。
Eating out is one of the joy of being in the USA. The food is usually good and often excellent; the prices are reasonable; and the service is mostly fine.
Choosing a Restaurant 选择餐馆
Some restaurants are open for breakfast; others are open twenty-four hours a day. A number of restaurants call themselves "family restaurants". Many of these serve no alcohol and have fairly restricted menus which include steaks, hamburgers, omelettes(炒蛋) and sandwiches, and all are at very reasonable prices. They may also serve smaller and cheaper children's portios(份餐). Note that many American restaurants are "speciatly" restaurants. They may serve only, or mainly, steaks, seafood, etc.
When to Eat 供餐时间
Many restaurants, especially the more expensive ones, open at about 11:30 a.m.(midday, rather than 1 p.m., is the most normal time for lunch in the USA), and some remain open until the evening, so it is possible to order a meal throughout the afternoon.
