点滴文化情

Take-out Food

外卖

Take-out refers to prepared meals or other food items,purchased at a restaurant, that the purchaser intends to eatelsewhere.

外卖是指顾客想在饭店以外的地方食用,在饭店订的餐点或食物。

The restaurant involved may or may not provide tableservice. Take-out is sometimes cheaper than table servicefor the same dishes. In the United States and Canada, foodordered this way is ordered to go, and in the UK it is ordered totake away or sometimes to eat out, as opposed to eating in ordining in.

有的饭店可能桌台点菜,也可能提供外卖。有的菜,外卖的比桌台用餐的更便宜。在美国和加拿大,外卖是指订餐带走,在英国是指打包带走,与饭馆内用餐刚好相反。

When dining in, a gratuity to the table server of around 10-15% would normally be expected (but not required, in mostcases), depending on the customers perception of servicequality. Such a gratuity would not typically be required at allfor a pickup order.

在饭馆里吃饭,一般要给10-15%的小费(但多数情况下,不是必须的),依据顾客觉得服务质量而定。对于外卖来说,小费就不是特别要求了。

Some restaurants involved in ****** food for eatingelsewhere may also deliver the food to the customer, such aspizza delivery. In the United States and Canada, the order canfurther specify for pickup, if the customer intends to stop bythe restaurant, or for delivery, to indicate that delivery to thecustomer is expected.

一些餐馆做外卖的,一般都送货上门,例如比萨饼外卖。在美国和加拿大,外卖要求具体,方便送上门的餐点就是当时点的菜。

Section 56 快餐店里

At the Fast Food Restaurant

快餐即预先做好的能够迅速提供顾客食用的饭食,如汉堡包、盒饭等。快餐具有大众化、节时、方便的优点。有的快餐店24小时营业,这些场所往往成为逛街一族休憩的去处。
