Samantha: Hi, Julius. I'm treating Mr. Lee and his team members from Gallup to dinner tomorrow evening. Where do you think I should take them?
Julius: Well, Mr. Lee has a very good taste in wine, and Gallup is one of our biggest clients. I suggest you take them to a decent French restaurant. Make sure you make a really good impression.
Samantha: That's a good idea. Which one do you recommend?Les Parisians?
Julius: Or La Place. They're both listed in this year's Gourmet Magazine for having the most authentic French cuisine in town. But I heard La Place has a better wine selection.
Samantha: We'll go to La Place. Could you book a table for four at7 p.m.?萨曼莎：嗨，朱利叶斯。我明天晚上要请盖洛普公司的李先生和他的团队成员吃饭。你说我应该带他们去哪里？
朱利叶斯：李先生对葡萄酒是很有品位的，而且盖洛普又是我们最大的客户之一。我建议带他们去一家像样的法国餐厅。一定要给他们留下好印象。
萨曼莎：好主意。那你推荐哪一家？Les Parisians吗？
朱利叶斯：或者La Place。这两家都因为地道的法国菜而在今年的《美食家杂志》上榜上有名的。不过，我听说La Place里葡萄酒的选择较多。
萨曼莎：那我们去La Place吧。你可以帮我们订晚上7点4个人的餐位吗？'treat sb. to dinner'意为'请某人吃饭'。'treat sb. to sth.' 表示'为某个人买某个特别的东西'或'为某人做某个特别的事情'。例如：I treated myself to a new dress.（我给自己买了一条新连衣裙，犒劳一下自己。)'have a good taste in…'意为'对…很有品味'。若使用'I suggest you ＋从句'的句型结构，在从句中要使用虚拟语气，即从句中的谓语部分要用'(should)+ 动词原形'结构。例如：I suggest that we (should) go down to the bar for a drink to cheer ourselves up.（我建议咱们去酒吧喝一杯，高兴高兴。)'book a table for + 人数 + at + 钟点'表示'预订一张…点钟…人用餐的桌子'。因很多餐厅都要求提前预订，所以这个句型非常实用。美国是个餐饮业发达的国家，各种各样的用餐场所比比皆是，大致可以分为以下十类：
1．点心摊（Refreshment Stand)：供应的食品有汉堡包、三明治、炸土豆条、比萨和软饮料等。不需付小费，买后带走吃。
2. 馅饼摊（Pizza Stand):这些摊位除了供应软饮料外，主要供应一种称为Pizza的意大利风味大馅饼。需付小费。
3．自助式餐厅（Cafeteria):供应汤、色拉、三明治和全套饭菜。
4．快餐连锁店（Fast Food Chains):供应汉堡包、油炸食品、软饮料、炸鸡、冰淇淋等。价格便宜，不必付小费。
5．小吃店（Snack Bar):供应三明治、冰淇淋、软饮料及便餐。需付小费。
6．小餐馆（Dinner):经营品种主要包括快餐式全套饭菜。需付小费。
7. 咖啡店（Coffee Shop):供应咖啡和甜食或全套饭菜。需付小费。
8. 餐馆（Restaurant):供应各类饭菜，价格比较适中。需付小费。
10．外卖餐馆（Takeout):供应各种饭菜。需付送餐员小费。点个“在看”
