黄瀚生雅思口语单项提分班
1. greasy spoon物美价廉的小饭馆去“greasy spoon”就餐比到“fancy restaurant”(高级饭店)就餐要划算得多。greasy油腻,spoon 调羹,也就是汤勺。把greasy 和 spoon 这两个词合在一起,就是指那些有点像夫妻老婆店那样的小饭馆。这些小饭馆,一般来说,菜谱上的花色品种并不多,碗筷也好像不那么干净,装潢也不讲究,但是菜的味道倒不错,价钱也很公道。
2. potluck百乐或百味餐一种美国人经常举办的聚餐方式,在一个人或者几个人的提议下举行一个午餐会或晚餐会,参加者每人各带一样菜或饭后甜品饮料。主人除为聚会提供场地以外,也只要准备一个菜或买一些饮料就行。
网黄瀚生 Frank:I’ve been so busy lately. Last week, I went to a greasy spoon with a friend and this Sunday I’ve got to go to a potluck.
3. doggy bag饭馆里装剩菜的盒子因为以前美国人不好意思把饭馆吃剩的菜带回家,怕失面子,所以会对服务员说:Waiter, could you please wrap up the rest of this steak for me? I’d like to take it home for my dog.服务员,请你把这块牛排包起来,我想带回家给我的狗吃。但是现在把在饭馆吃剩的东西带回家已经是习以为常的事,仍然保留了这种说法。We had so much food left over from dinner at the China Garden last night that we took enough home in doggy bags to feed the whole family tonight.
4. 关于荷包蛋。sunny side up 单面煎,over easy 两面煎有人要蛋黄老一点,有的要嫩一点,有的只要煎一面,有的两面都要煎一煎。你只要煎一面的蛋,可以说“I would like to have my eggs sunny side up.”Male:Miss, I’d like two fried eggs sunny side up and the sausage on the side.
Female:I don’t like to see my eggs staring up at me with big yellow eyes. Miss, two fried eggs, over easy and not fried too hard.
