1. When you arrive at the restaurant 到達餐廳時

聚餐或者請客最好先定位。到達時先告知餐廳侍者定位的名字與人數。英文的習慣是說「我有定位在(你的名字)以下,有(人數)個人。」(I have a reservation under (your name) for a party of (number of people).)

高檔一點的餐廳與旅館都有吧台。如果餐桌還沒有準備好,或你很早就到了,可以到吧台坐一坐,也可以交代餐廳的人員,你的客人到的時候,請指引他們你在哪裡。

(O) I have a reservation for a table for a party of six at seven, under the name David Lin, and I am quiet early. Why don’t I go sit at the bar. If any of my guests also arrive early, please ask him or her to join me for a cocktail.
我預訂了一個六位的桌子,名字是大衛·林。我來的很早,我先去酒吧坐一下。如果我客人也提前到達,麻煩請他或她來陪我喝一杯雞尾酒。

(X) I am David Lin. I am having dinner with five other people. They are not here yet, when they arrive, please tell them I am at the bar.
我是大衛·林。我與其他五個人來用晚餐。他們還沒來,當他們到達時,請告訴他們我是在酒吧。

2. Start a bar tab 不要一邊點飲料一邊付錢

很多地方也會要求客人點了飲料就要馬上付錢,如果人多的話可能會亂成一團。”bar tab” 是「暫時賒賬」。要看業者營運的規則,有的時候信任客人,不過通常都會要求壓一張信用卡。吧台的員工大部份的收入是依賴小費,所以讓服務員感到你了解小費是分開算,受到的服務也會很好。

(O) I would like to start a bar tab. I am meeting some friends later to celebrate some good news. Please don’t let them pay for any drink. I can leave a credit card with you, and I will settle the total with gratuity with you later .
我想累積吧台的消費。我在等一些朋友慶祝好消息。請不要讓他們付任何飲料的費用。我可以留下一張信用卡給你,在離開以前再算小費與全部消費。

(X) I am buying the drinks tonight to celebrate. I made a lot of money this week, and I am feeling generous. Don’t let my guests pay for anything if you want a good tip later.
今晚我是要請客慶祝。這星期我賺了很多錢,想要大方一下。如果你想要慷慨的小費,就不要讓任何我的客人付錢。

3. When someone had too much to drink 有人喝太多了

有的人喝酒會出狀況。如果看情況喝醉的人應該乖乖的回家了,就盡量安靜的送他,或者請叫車服務人員幫忙叫車。安全最重要,可是也不要再出糗了。

(O) I am afraid that my friend is a lightweight, and she is not feeling well after only a few drinks. I can’t leave the party because I have to introduce the guest speaker later. Please call a cab for her, and make sure you give me the cab number. I also have her address right here, please give it to the driver. Thank you very much.
我恐怕我的朋友是一個輕量級的(容易醉的人)。她只喝了幾杯酒就不舒服。我不能離開宴會,因為我等一下還要介紹演講嘉賓。請幫她叫計程車,並一定要把車號給我。有她的地址,請給駕駛。非常感謝你。

(X) Excuse me. I can’t believe my friend is drunk. The party hasn’t even started. Please call a cab for her, I got to get her out of here before she embarrasses herself and everyone.
不好意思。我不敢相信我的朋友已經醉了,而宴會還沒開始。請幫她叫計程車,我需要在她給大家難看以前離開。

4. Plan ahead to get home safely 先計劃如何安全回家

全世界不是到處的交通都像臺灣一樣方便。出去玩都要開車,所以出去喝酒要計劃一樣。一個人不喝酒而負責開車是最好的方案。如果看大家玩的很瘋了,不要不高興,還是要放鬆一下,像是享受沒有酒精的飲料,與酒保聊聊天。

(O) I am the designated driver, and I won’t be drinking. I don’t feel like having any beverage with caffeine or too much sugar either, since you can see I am already babysitting the party animals tonight. Perhaps you can recommend something bubbly and light?
我是今晚的指定駕駛員,所以我不喝酒。我也不想要任何有咖啡因或者多糖的飲料,既然你也看到我在看顧派對狂們了。也許你可以推薦一個有汽泡又不膩的飲料?

(X) I’ll have a bottled of mineral water if you got any. I got to make sure everyone get home safely later. I didn’t want to come out tonight, but I am worried that like last time, they will do something stupid after having too much to drink.
如果有的話給我罐裝的礦泉水。我必須確定每個人等一下都平安回家。今晚我不想出來,但我擔心他們像上一次一樣,喝多了以後會做愚蠢的事。
