寒假刚去美国,和很多本土学生打交道,说说我觉得比较常用也比较好用的吧
最主要的是要说的简单简洁有礼貌。千万别一件小事上巨长的一个句子冒出来。
lz问的三个都会用到:
倒饮料:可以拿着饮料瓶直接说: Would you like some XXX? (如果直译成pour you a glass of XXX 就会有点奇怪)或者 Do you want some XXX?
想喝什么:What would you like to drink?
你还想吃点什么:Do you want anything else? 或 Do you wanna (want to) order some more?
下面是我到那边学会,觉得很好用的
1. I'm good, thanks. 这句其实和No, thanks意思一样,但感觉更有礼貌。别人如果问你还想要什么不,你说不想要的时候用。比如:Q: Do you want some coffee? A: I'm good, thanks.
2. What are you having? 或 Do you have any recommendations? 这个是如果你去外国餐厅,又不太会点菜的话用。他会回答你他准备点些什么,你如果觉得挺好的就可以说 Cool, I'll just have what you are having then.
3. 如果是去中国餐厅外国人问你吃什么好,你可以说 If you like yyy, YYY is really good. 比如说: If you like chicken, Kong Pao Chicken(宫保鸡丁)is really good. 前面的If you like yyy是简单的礼貌一下。
4. I'd like to give a toast. 祝酒词. Cheers!
前面那句是说你想说祝酒词(英文是toast)。祝酒词可以随便说说:比如Here's to our friendship 或 Good luck to XXX on his/her YYY (祝XXX的YYY好运,例:祝John考试好运)。Cheers!(干杯!)

干杯
每逢佳节聚会,英美人常欢聚一堂,频频举杯,开怀畅饮,“干杯!”、“为……干杯!”之声不绝于耳。那么英美人是如何表示的呢?
一、用(Here's)to 表示:
1.Here's to your health / success. 为你的健康 / 成功干杯!
2.Here's to our friendship! 为我们的友谊干杯!
3.Here's to Tom for his new job! 为汤姆的新工作干杯!
二、用health, luck等表示:Good health! Good luck! All the best!例如:
1.Your health, John—May you have a successful time in Manchester!为了你的健康,约翰,也祝你在曼彻斯特前程似锦!
2.Helen raised her glass,“Good luck to you!” she said. 海伦举起酒杯,说道:“祝你好运!”
三、主人或主持人邀客人喝酒时,通常用Cheers! Do the honors!例如:
1.He raised his glass,“May you success! Cheers!” 他举起酒杯说:“祝你成功,干杯!”
2.Pat, you do the honors and propose the toast. 帕特,你敬酒吧。
四、在比较随便的场合,通常用Here's how!还有Happy landing!(美俚,原为空军用语)等。例如:
Oh,come, come,David.Here's how!噢,来呀,来呀,大卫,干杯!
五、在比较正式的场合,英美人有时也用一些外来语。例如:
Prosit!(来源于拉丁语,意为May it do good! To your health/ good luck! etc. )
六、在陈述句中,英美语通常用toast,round, drink to,drink a toast for / to, propose a toast for 等词表示。例如:
1.Friends,I'll give you a toast——to our president! 朋友们,我给大家敬酒,为我们总统干杯!
2.I now propose a toast to the friendship between our two people——to our friendship. 现在,我提议为我们两国人民的友谊干杯!
