Dialogue Script1 對話原文1
Waitress: Good evening. Do you have a reservation？ 
Wilson: Yes.The reservation is under Lin.
Waitress: Very good, Mr. Lin.Do you prefer smoking or non－smoking seating?
Wilson: Non－smoking, please.
Waitress: If you follow me, I will Show you to your table.
Wilson:Thank you.
Waitress: You're welcome.Your server will be with you right away to take your drink order.
講解：
1. 這段對話發生在顧客剛剛進餐館時。Reservation見是“預定、預約”的意思，在好一點的餐館里吃飯一般都需要提前預約，而當你進入一家餐館時，侍者首先就會問你是否有預約，Do you have a reservation？
2. 以誰的名字預定座位或是酒店房間一般用介詞under，比如，I have made a reservation for a double room in the Hilton Hotel under Mr. Peterson.我用彼得森的名字在希爾頓飯店訂了一個雙人間。
3. 國外的餐館里不一定允許吸煙，即使允許，一般也分為吸煙區和非吸煙區，即smoking area和non-smoking area，所以對話中的non－smoking seating就是非吸煙區的座位。
4. 當別人對你表示感謝時，你可以說“You're welcome.”意思是“不用謝；沒什么” 。
5. take one's order在這里的意思是替顧客寫單，記錄客人需要的食物或酒水。
Dialogue Script2 對話原文2
Waiter: Awfully sorry, there are no vacancies left now. Would you like to wait for a moment？
Anne: How long a wait do you think there'll be?
Waiter: About eight minutes, I think.
Anne: OK, we will wait for a while.
(Ten minutes later)
Waiter: I'm sorry for making you wait for so long. Now there is a table available in non-smoking section. Please follow me.
Anne: Thank you.
Waiter: This is menu. Are you ready to oder now?
Anne: Sorry, we haven't decided yet. Could you please give us a little longer?
Waiter: No problem.
講解：
1. 沒有空位子或者空房間，我們可以說，There are no vacancies left no
w.
2. 無論是顧客還是侍者，在對話中都非常客氣，顯示了侍者受過很好的培訓，而顧客則具有良好的修養。
Dialogue Script3 對話原文3
Waitress: Have you had time to look over the menu?
Wayne: Er, yes. Iwould like the beef steak.
Waitress: How would you like your meat cooked？
Wayne: Well done, Please.
Waitress: Would you like a side salade？
Wayne: No.
Waitress: Anything else to drink？
Wayne: Yes.A glass of your house wine.
Waitress: Very good.I will bring your appetizer immediately.
講解：
1. 侍者對顧客要絕對的客氣，所以當詢問客人是否看完菜單并準備點菜時，要婉轉地說，Have you had time to look over the menu? menu，菜單。
2. 在這里客人點了一份牛排。牛排，beef steak. 當詢問客人牛排需要幾成熟應該怎么說呢？對話中的原句是How would 
you like your meat cooked？這是一個很有用的句型。
3.客人回答Well done. 在一般情況下，well done的意思是“干得不錯、干得漂亮”，而在對話中，它是“完全熟”的意思，希望大家注意。
4. side salad，意為“作為配菜的沙拉”；appetizer是開胃菜的意思。
Dialogue Script4 對話原文4
Richard: What do you recommend？
Waitress: We have a daily chef's special of fried chicken.
Richard: What side dish comes with the special?
Waitress: A side salad and your choice of a baked potato or steamed rice.
Richard: I will have the special with a salad and the potato.
Waitress: Anything else?
Rcihard: Yes, a glass oficed water.
講解：
1. 這是一段關于客人就坐后進行點餐的對話。當你第一次到一家餐館或者不知道該點什么菜時，通常可以讓侍者為你推薦，在對話中，客人就是這樣。一般在這種情況下，侍者往往會為你推薦那家餐館的特色菜或者招牌菜。
2. daily chef's special，可以翻譯為“每日大廚特別推薦”，也就是這家餐館的大廚每天推出的一道特色菜。Special在這里做名詞，意為特色菜。而當天的 daily chef's special就是 fried chicken，隨后客人又問炸雞特餐包含有什么配菜，What side dish comes with the special? side dish 就是正菜外的附加菜。
