Everybody Has A Favorite Restaurant to Rave About!
Most people get tired of their own cooking. Some people hate eating at home. Some people are too busy to buy groceries and make the effort to cook a meal at home. These and so many more reasons create the demand for restaurants, and since everybody goes out to eat at least occasionally, asking about restaurant recommendations is a good conversation starter. Most people have a favorite restaurant to fit every mood and situation. “Want a romantic atmosphere? Go to that Italian place on 2nd Avenue!” “If you’re looking for something different, that Greek restaurant in the center of the city is great.” Sometimes people warn their friends about bad restaurants. “Avoid Sam’s Diner. The service is awful!” Of course, you can always tell how popular a restaurant is by the number of people that are seated. The longer the wait, the better the food!
中文翻译
每个人都有自己喜爱的餐馆
大多数人会厌倦吃自已烧的菜。更有些人不喜欢在家吃饭。而有些则因为太忙而没空去买菜再回家煮。正因为这些种种原因,餐馆就有了生意。既然每个人都至少偶尔会上饭店吃饭,那么向别人打听那家饭店比较好就能很好地打开话题了。大部分人都会选出一家自己喜欢的餐馆来对应不同的需要。“要气氛浪漫一点?去第二大道上的那家意大利饭店!”“想吃些特别的东西?市中心的希腊餐厅很棒的!”有时我们还会警告朋友别去哪家饭店:“别去Sam小食,那里的服务一塌糊涂!”当然,从饭店的满座率就能看出它的受欢迎程度。等得越久,菜肴越好!
