dinning out 大学英语之外出就餐 Dining Out The First Class Section One Lead-in 1. Is it expensive to live on campus? 2. Do you always eat on campus? 3. Do you often dine out with your friends? What do you usually say then? Cultural Tips 外国人出去吃饭，一般他们会说 go to eat , go out eating 或是 eat out 而不会说 go to dinner, go for lunch, 即不需特意说中餐或晚餐。 如果询问刚才去哪里了,他(她)则会回答 I just went out eating, 而不会说 I just went to dinner.如强调是去吃午餐或晚餐, 一般直接说 lunch 或dinner. 例如人家问你, "Where did you go?" 你就可以答说 "lunch." 美国的餐厅可分很多种，Restaurant 是一般的通称，另外常用到的有 Deli(delicatessen):供应三明治, 沙拉这种现成的, 不需再经过烹调的餐厅, 例如 SUBWAY 就可以算是 Deli. 另外还有 Grill 也随处可见, 翻译成烤肉餐厅, 多半是提供牛排, 汉堡热食类的食物. 如果两对以上夫妻出去吃饭, 大家想各自付自己的, 则你们可主动跟侍者说 We want to separate check. 有时他们也会主动问你, Do you want to separate check? 或是Do you want separate checks? 这样帐单就会有二张。但有些餐厅 separate check 会多收服务费, 最好先问清楚。如果是要一起付, 则简单地说, together 或 one check 就可以了。 Section Two Presentation ?.

So he sent each of them on a quest(调查), in turn, to go find and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no, it was covered with green buds(蓓蕾) and full of promise. The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful that it was the most graceful(优美的)thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe(成熟 的)and drooping(低垂) with fruit, full of life and fulfillment(成就). The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree?s life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence(本质) of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons have passed. If you turn away when it?s still winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, the fulfillment of your fall. Don?t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. Don?t judge life by one difficult period. 19 Persevere(坚持) through the difficult patches(时段) and better times are sure to come some time sooner or later. ?.
