Unit 6 Eating and Drinking

Dialogues /monologues:

1、 I’m in a hurry.

我得趕緊。 “in a hurry”指匆忙，有時用作口語也表示輕易地做好某件事情。

2、 These days the most sought-after tables are hidden away, several floors above ground, in the city’s high-rise apartments, which are run by chefs out of their own homes or from rented spaces..

這句話的意思我翻譯為：目前，很多廣受歡迎的餐館總是藏匿在公寓大廈地面上方的樓層，就在廚師們自家門口或是租的空地外面營業。

3、 Merely requesting a reservation can be as difficult as getting one.

哪怕是僅僅要求預定（房間）都有可能象真要得到它一樣那麼難。

4、 Exclusively is the main attraction for customers in a city that is still obsessed with status.

獨有性（專用權）是吸引城市消費者的'主要因素，因為人們還是會被身份地位(帶來的虛榮感)所迷惑的。

5、 I can’t make up my mind about what to have for dessert.

make up one’s mind：下決心、作決定。

本句的意思是：餐後吃什麼甜點，我還沒能做出決定。
