Restaurant EnglishSection I Vocabulary & Cultural Notes:1. 欧美人午餐和晚餐的菜单相差不多。但是由于午外食用时间较为短暂，因而产生了各种商业午餐、快餐，既省时又方便。晚餐则是正餐时间，可以慢慢地品尝各种美食，通常比较正式，也比较讲究。午餐和晚餐通常包括下列五项：（1） 开胃菜Appetizer (= Starter)（2） 汤Soup继开胃菜之后端上来的第二道菜即是汤。一般餐厅供应清汤（clear soup）和浓汤（thick soup）两种。喝汤的动作是将汤匙由内向外，慢慢自碗中将汤舀起。（3） 主菜main course法语叫entre，美语称为main dish，通常都是肉类及海鲜类。（4） 甜点Dessert包括水果、冰淇淋、布丁、乳酪等。比如各种tart（果馅饼，小圆饼）和pastry（酥皮糕点）。（5） 饮料Beverages包括咖啡、红茶、可乐、牛奶、果汁、啤酒等。如果是alcoholic beverages或 liquor就是指含酒精成分的饮料，像威士忌、白兰地、琴酒等（酒精成分超过40的烈酒称为spirits）。2. 酒在西餐中是不可或缺的饮料。欧洲各国如意大利、法国、西班牙、葡萄牙等，对酒尤其讲究。用餐前有开胃酒（aperitif），用餐时则佐以葡萄酒，用餐完毕后还有餐后酒，不但正规会餐时如此，就连平常用简餐时，也有这种习惯。（1） 餐前开胃酒 (aperitif)开胃酒又叫餐前酒，大约在餐前30分钟左右时饮用，通常为了增进食欲，都饮用一些较为强烈的辣味酒。正规的开胃酒以雪莉酒（sherry）和苦艾酒（vermouth）最具代表性，有些人也喜欢以鸡尾酒（cocktail）来充当饭前酒。男士喝的餐前酒一般是马丁尼（Martini），而女士一般喝雪莉酒，这是一种非常清淡的白葡萄酒。不太能喝酒的男士一般选择鸡尾酒。即使你是一位滴酒不沾的人你也应该点一杯矿泉水、可乐之类的饮品，千万不要手中空空如是，那是会令人尴尬的事，也会使你自己有失风度。 （2） 佐餐酒 （dinner wines）用餐时多半饮用葡萄酒。葡萄酒大致可分为红、白和中间色三种，各有其独特的香味，所以有些料理并不对味，至于如何选择就要配合所点的菜肴了。一般白葡萄酒通常佐配鱼虾海鲜类，红葡萄酒和含有辛辣味的白葡萄酒则适宜佐配牛肉、猪肉等肉类食物。中间色的粉红葡萄酒（rose）可以佐配任何食物。（3） 餐后酒 (after-dinner drinks)餐后酒以白兰地、波多酒（Port）和利口酒（liqueur）最具代表性。波多酒多在吃甜点或水果时饮用。利口酒是一种烈性的甜酒，可以清口、帮助消化，喝的时候要一点一滴，慢慢品尝欣赏它清香的味道。男士们饭后则尤其喜爱啜饮各种香而不甜的名贵白兰地。 well-done 火候熟透，全熟 medium 火候老嫩适度（七分熟）rare 火候略熟、嫩（三分熟） medium rare 五分熟raw 生的 tender 嫩的dry wine 不含甜味的葡萄酒 portion（食物的）一份，一客prawn 对虾，大虾 shrimp 小虾rye 黑面包 salmon三文鱼，大马哈鱼seasoning 调味品 curry 咖哩；用咖喱烹调的饭菜 Section II Restaurant English:Part A Making OrdersA.
