dining at a restaurant I下馆子(上)
Well, I love going out to restaurants to eat. One of the best experiences I"ve had recently was at a place here in Los Angeles called Il Fornaio. It"s an Italian restaurant in a very nice part of Beverly Hills. I don"t go there very often—I can"t really afford it, but every once and a while I"ll treat myself. 我喜欢下馆子吃饭。最近给我留下印象的是洛杉矶本地的一个叫伊尔费那里奥的餐馆。这是一家在比华利的意大利餐馆。我并不经常去，因为我去不起。不过每过一段时间我就去犒劳自己一回。 The last time I went, I walked in with a friend and I was greeted by the hostess. She asked how many people were in my party, and I said, "Just two." "Right this way! I"ll show you to your table" she said. She was very polite. When we reached our table by the window, she asked us, "Is this all right?" We said, "Of course!," and then she handed us the menus, along with the wine list. The place setting with the silverware was very complete. There were two forks (one for the salad course, one for the main course), a spoon, a knife, a dinner plate, a dessert spoon on top, a wine glass and a water glass, a cup and saucer for coffee, and a bread basket. I was already getting hungry! 上次我去我带了一个朋友，领位在门口欢迎我们。她问我们几位，我说两位。她说，请这边，我带您去。她非常礼貌。当我们走到一个窗边的座位，她问，您看这个可以吗。我们说，没问题。于是她交给我们菜单还有酒水单。那银制的餐具非常齐全，有两个叉子，一个是沙拉用的，一个是正餐用的，一个勺子，一把刀，一个餐盘，一个甜点勺，一个葡萄酒杯， 一个水杯，一副咖啡杯与托，还有一个装面包的篮子。我已经感觉有些饿了。 "Your waiter will be with you shortly," the hostess said. So we looked over the menus—so many choices, especially for a lover of Italian food like me. 领位小姐跟我说，你的服务员很快就到。于是我们看看菜单，有很多选择呀，尤其是对我这种喜欢意大利餐的人。 The waiter came up to the table a few minutes later and said, "Good evening. My name is Giorgio, and I"ll be your waiter this evening. Is there anything I can get you started with—a cocktail, a glass of wine?" Well, my friend and I are not exactly big drinkers, so we just ordered a couple of iced teas. "Would you like a few minutes to look at the menu?" he said. We nodded our heads, and he went off to get our drinks. 几分钟后服务员走到我们桌旁说，晚上好，我是吉奥吉欧，今天晚上我为你们服务。我可以点餐了吗，先来点什么，鸡尾酒还是葡萄酒？
