语言点
1. Can I start you off with something to drink? (请问你想先来点饮料吗?)请注意,这个问题以“Can”开始。它是一般疑问句(即回答用“是/不是”或者“对/不对”),所以句尾用升调。
2. And Ill have lemonade.(我要柠檬水。)请注意,安娜的重音是放在“Ill” 和 “lemonade”两处。
3. Are you ready to order, or do you need a few minutes?(你现在可以点菜了吗?还是需要再过几分钟?)“or”这个词在这里表示有不同选择。请注意order一词用升调, 而minutes 一词用降调。第一个选择是 “Are you ready to order?”(你现在可以点菜了吗?), 第二个选择是 “Do you need a few minutes?”(还是需要再过几分钟?)。
4. Ill have the tomato soup to start, and the roast beef with mashed potatoes and peas. (我点西红柿汤作开胃菜,然后要烤牛肉配土豆泥和豌豆。)请注意,“tomato soup” (西红柿汤)“roast beef” (烤牛肉)“mashed potatoes”(土豆泥)和“peas”(豌豆)都用重音,因为在此所点的菜是重要信息。同时也请注意,“tomato soup”“roast beef”“mashed potatoes”都是复合词,在这些复合词中,重音落在第二个词上。
5. Well done, please.(我要全熟的。)请注意,这里的主语和动词被省略,只回答关键内容。
6. Ill just have the fish. (我只点鱼。)这里安娜用“just”一词表示她不点开胃菜。
