At the restaurant 在餐厅
餐点和在餐厅点餐。这里的重点是冠词——a、an、the——许多语言(如韩语)没有。辅音前用 A(a coffee),元音前用 AN(an hour),特定或已知的用 THE(the menu,the waiter)。别省略!礼貌点餐:I'd like a coffee。Can I have the menu, please? 新词:food、breakfast、lunch、dinner、restaurant、menu、order、waiter、coffee、tea。
Dialogue
menu or the menu? — menu 还是 the menu?
- Emma Minsu, what do you want? 民秀,你想要什么?
- Minsu Can I have menu? 可以给我菜单吗?(口误:英语需要冠词——应说 "the menu")
- Emma You need "the": Can I have the menu? 要加 "the":Can I have the menu?
- Minsu Oh, can I have the menu and a coffee? 哦,可以给我菜单和一杯咖啡吗?
Dialogue

Grammar
冠词:a / an / the
Explanation
英语几乎总在单数可数名词前放一个小词——冠词。辅音音前用 A:a coffee,a menu,a waiter。元音音前用 AN:an hour,an apple(看的是发音,所以 "an hour" 因为 "h" 不发音)。双方都知道是哪一个时用 THE:Can I have the menu?(这桌上的那份),The waiter is here。许多语言(如韩语)没有冠词,所以学习者会省略——但在英语里 "I'd like a coffee" 才是自然说法。点餐:I'd like a coffee, please。
Examples
- I'd like a coffee, please. 我想要一杯咖啡,谢谢。
- Can I have the menu, please? 可以给我菜单吗?
- I study for an hour and then I eat lunch. 我学习一个小时,然后吃午餐。
- The waiter brings the food. 服务员端来食物。
