Lesson 7 Key Conversation I'm Starving

Waitress: Have you had a chance to decide what you would like?

Chelsea: Yeah, I think I'm ready to order.

Waitress: OK, great. What can I get you to start with?

Chelsea: As an appetizer¹, I'll have the house salad with the vinaigrette dressing². What's today's special again?

Waitress: Prime rib³ with roasted potatoes and green beans.

Chelsea: Oh...that sounds so good. I'll have that, please.

Waitress: How about a drink to go with that? Perhaps a glass of red?

Chelsea: You read my mind. Could I get a glass of Merlot, please?

Waitress: Definitely. Don't forget to save room for something sweet. Our chocolate lava⁴ cakes are to die for.

Chelsea: Let's just hold off on the dessert order for now.

Waitress: OK, not a problem. I'll be right back with your glass of Merlot.

 

第7课 我要饿死了

服务员：你决定想要什么吗？

切尔西：是的，我想我已经准备好点菜了。

服务员：好的，太好了。我能让你从什么开始呢？

切尔西：作为开胃菜，我要加调味汁的家庭沙拉。今天的特色菜是什么？

服务员：上等肋骨配烤土豆和青豆。

切尔西：哦。。。听起来不错。请给我一份。

服务员：来杯饮料怎么样？也许来一杯红葡萄酒？

切尔西：你能读懂我的心思。能给我一杯梅洛干红吗？

服务员：当然可以。别忘了给甜食留点空间。我们的巧克力熔岩蛋糕真是太棒了。

切尔西：我们暂缓点甜点吧。

没问题。我马上给你拿一杯梅洛干红。
