A：Would you please recommend some Chinese Wine?

B：Would you like to have a taste of Maotai?

A：That's great! What comes along with Maotai?

B：You can order some typical Chinese dishes. For example, Beijing Roast Duck.

A：It sounds good.

B：Yes, it is the best of our hotel.

A：Really? Let me try.

B：OK. Just a moment, please.

A：请您介绍些中国酒好吗?

B：要不要试一试茅台?

A：太好了!有什么可以下茅台酒的?

B：有，您可以点一些典型的中国菜。例如北京烤鸭。

A：听起来不错。

B：是的，那是我们酒店最好的菜肴。

A：真的?让我尝尝吧。

B：好的。请稍等。

A：Can I help you, sir?

B：Yes. We're ready to order some drinks. A cup of coffee for her, and a glass of orange juice for me.

C：Black coffee for me, just black.

A：Yes, Madam.

C：Do you serve anything else besides drinks? Say, buttered toast.

A：Yes, a portion of buttered toast?

C：Yes.

A：先生，能为您效劳吗?

B：我们要点饮料。她要一杯咖啡，给我来一杯橙汁。

C：清咖啡，不加别的。

A：是的，女士。

C：你们除饮料之外还提供什么?比如说，黄油吐司。

A：有，一份黄油吐司?

C：是的。

A：Good evening. It's very nice to see you again.

B：Thank you! It's good to be back.

A：Would you care for an appetizer before your meal?

B：Yes, I think we will. In fact, today we have something to celebrate. I've just been promoted to Area Sales Manager.

A：That's wonderful! Congratulations, sir!

B：I think it calls for something special. What would you recommend?

A：How about a Champagne Cocktail for madam and a Kirsch for you, sir?

B：What would you like, dear?

C：The Champagne Cocktail sounds delicious. I'll try that.

B：I think I'll have a Dry Sherry instead of the Kirsch.

A：Certainly, sir. A Champagne Cocktail for madam and a Dry Sherry for you. Just a moment, please.

A：晚安。欢迎再次光临。

B：谢谢!再来这里感觉真好。

A：进餐前要不要来杯开胃酒?

B：好的，我们要。事实上，今天我们有事要庆祝。我刚升为地区的销售经理。

A：太棒了!先生，恭喜您!

B：我想要特别一点的东西。你可否推荐一下?

A：先生，香槟鸡尾酒给夫人，您点樱桃酒如何?

B：亲爱的，你想要什么?

C：香槟鸡尾酒听起来很棒，我想尝尝看。

B：我要一杯没有甜味的雪莉酒，不要樱桃酒。

A：好的，先生。夫人要香槟鸡尾酒，您要没有甜味的雪莉酒，请稍等一会儿。

A：Good evening, Mr. Frank. Bourbon on the rocks?

B：No, this time I'll try Chinese alcohol.

A：What about Maotai, one of the most famous liquors in China? It's good indeed; it never goes to the head.

B：Do people here drink a lot of liquors?

A：Some do, and some don't. Many people in the north are fondof liquors. I think it has something to do with the climate.

B：Yes, it has. Have you ever heard of "Tequila Santa"?

A：Yes, it's a very well-known kind of spirit in Mexico. People drink it with salt and lemon.

B：Right. It's very strong, just like alcohol. (Frank sips Maotai) Oh, it's good. Are there any other famous Chinese liquors?

A：Yes, besides Maotai, we have Wu Liang Ye, Fen Jiu, Xi Feng and so on.

B：They say that Shao Xing wine tastes quite good. What's it?

A：It's rice wine, a kind of still wine, somewhat like Japanese Sake.

B：I see. Thank you for telling me so much. I'll try them next time.

A：I'm always at your service.

A：弗兰克先生，晚上好!波旁威士忌加小冰块?

B：不，这次我要尝尝中国酒。

A：茅台怎么样?它是中国的名酒之一。这酒真的不错，不上头。

B：这儿的人喝很多白酒吗?

A：有的人喝很多，有的人不喝。很多北方人喜欢喝白酒。我想这与气候有关。

B：是的，确实有关。你听说过龙舌兰酒吗?

A：听说过。它是墨西哥名酒。人们喝这种酒时会加盐和柠檬。

B：对。这种酒劲儿很大，就像是烈酒。(弗兰克啜了一小口茅台)噢，不错。还有什么其他的中国酒吗?

A：有，除了茅台，白酒类我们还有五粮液、汾酒、西凤酒等等。

B：听说绍兴酒味道不错。它是什么酒?

A：它是米酒，是一种没有气体的酒，有点像日本的清酒。

B：我明白了。谢谢你给我介绍了这么多，下次再品尝那些酒吧。

A：愿意为您效劳。

A：Neva, this is a nice bar!

B：Yes, we made a wise decision.

A：Where would you like to sit, Neva?

B：I'd like to sit not too near the piano so that I can watch the musicians from a distance.

A：Great. That's just after my thought too.

C：Good evening. Would you like something to drink?

A：Yes, but give us a few minutes first.

C：Yes, Ma'am. Please take your time.

A：Let's see... Cocktail, Brandies, Wines, Scotch..., I'll have beer, Budwiser. What about you, Neva?

B：I'll have coconut juice. Do they have that?

A：I think so. Let's see. Hello, Bartender, one tin of coconut juice for him and a bottle of Budwiser for me.

C：Just a moment, please

A：内瓦，这是个很好的酒吧。

B：是的，我们做了个聪明的决定。

A：内瓦，你想坐哪儿?

B：我想坐在离钢琴远点的地方，这样我们可以从远处观看乐队。

A：太好了。和我想的一样。

C：晚上好。来点什么喝的吗?

A：是的，不过让我们先看看菜单。

C：好的，女士。请慢慢看吧。

A：我看看......鸡尾酒、白兰地、葡萄酒、苏格兰威士忌......我要啤酒，百威的。你呢，内瓦?

B：我要椰子汁。他们有吗?

A：我想有。我看看。喂，服务生，给他一听椰子汁，给我一瓶百威啤酒。

C：请稍等。
