生活英語情景口語:到底是去哪裏吃飯好呢?

Kaylee: do you want to go out for dinner tonight?

Nathan: sure. Have you got anywhere in mind?

K: I'm starving, so maybe we could go somewhere with large portions.

N: that Italian restaurant in the city centre always has large portions. Do you want to go there?

K: I'm not really in the mood for Italian, actually. I was thinking of something a bit spicy.

N: if you want spicy food, then I'd recommend going to a Thai, Indian or Chinese restaurant. How about that Chinese buffet on Cowley Road?

K: I really like that restaurant; you get a lot for your money there. But, they've westernized their food, so it's not actually that spicy.

N: you're right. Most of their dishes have sweet sauces. We could try that Indian restaurant just down the road from us.

K: the Taj? They're a bit expensive, but they do serve large portions of very hot food.

N: the Taj it is then.

K: shall we bring our own bottle of wine to save some money?

N: they'll still charge us a corkage fee.

K: that's right. It'll probably work out to be about the same then anyway.

N: don't worry about money. I'll treat you tonight.

K: are you sure? We could go Dutch.

N: no, I'll pay. It's my turn anyway. You paid last time.

K: I won't argue with that! Let's go!

你今晚想去外面吃飯嗎?
當然想了.你心裏想好去哪兒了嗎?
我餓了,所以咱們去個飯量足的飯館吧.
市中心的那家意大利餐館給的菜量都很足.你想去那兒嗎?
我今天實在不想吃意大利菜.我想吃點辣的.
如果你想吃辣的,那我建議你去泰國餐館,印度餐館或者中餐館.要不去考雷路的中式自助餐廳怎麼樣?
我特別喜歡那家餐廳.在那兒總是物超所值.不過他們那兒做的菜已經有點西化了,不像原來那麼辣了.
你說的沒錯.他們做的大部分菜都加了甜味醬汁.咱們可以去沿着這條路走下去的那家印度餐廳.
“泰姬”?那家有點貴,但是他們家做的菜分量都很足.
那就泰姬吧.
咱們可以自己帶酒過去嗎?這樣可以節省一點錢.
他們會收開瓶費的.
你說的對.有可能算完價錢跟在那兒點酒價錢一樣.
