重要字詞講解:
1. reserve  (v.) 預訂

 例:I'm sorry, Miss. The table is reserved.
(我很抱歉,小姐。那張桌子已經被預訂了。)

 例:I called the restaurant and reserved a table for you and your friend.
   (我打了電話給餐廳,幫你和你的朋友預訂了一張桌子。)

2. fantastic  (adj.) 很棒的;了不起的

 例:There're fantastic night scenes outside the window.
   (窗外有迷人的夜景。)

 例:That was a fantastic night. It was like a dream come true.
   (那真是一個很棒的夜晚,就好像美夢成真一樣。)

※小叮嚀
fantastic 用在平日的對話上,以正面的意思居多。

3. recommend (v.) 推薦

 例:Would you like to recommend anything special?
   (你有要推薦什麼特別的嗎?)

 例:He recommended me some of the best restaurants in town.
   (他推薦我幾間全市最好的餐廳。)

※小叮嚀
recommend 是授與動詞,所以句型是「recommend + 人 + 物」或「recommend + 物 + to + 人」。

4. specialty  (n.) 招牌菜

 例:例:You could try the gratinated lobster with cream sauce, which is one of our specialties.
   (您可以試試奶油焗烤龍蝦,這是我們的招牌菜之一。)

 例:A: What's the specialty of the house? B: Their scallops are great.
   (A: 這家餐廳的招牌是什麼? B: 他們的扇貝很好吃。)

5. a la carte   單點(的菜)

 例:These dishes can be ordered as a la carte.
   (這些餐點都是可以單點的。)

 例:I don't like buffet. Can I order a la carte?
   (我不喜歡吃到飽,可以單點嗎?)

※小叮嚀
"a la carte" 是法文,意思是單點菜單上所列的食物,而不是套餐。套餐的英文是 "set meal"。
