All right, everybody. Welcome back. Today, we’re going to be uh taking a deep dive into something that I think is really going to help you out next time you’re eating out.
大家好,歡迎回來!今天我們要深入探討一個主題,這絕對能幫助你下次在外用餐時派上用場。
Yeah.
沒錯。
At an English speaking place.
尤其是在英語系國家或英語餐廳。
Mhm.
嗯哼。
We’re talking about how to answer the question, how did it taste?
我們要教你如何回答「How did it taste?(吃起來怎麼樣?)」這個問題。
Right.
沒錯!
Or how was it?
或者是「How was it?(味道如何?)」這類的問句。
Yeah.
對啊。
Now, you probably already know how to say good or yummy.
你大概已經知道怎麼用「good(不錯)」或「yummy(好吃)」來回答了。
Yeah, those are the basics.
對,這些是最基本的說法。
Yeah, those are great. But we’re going to level up your responses today.
不過今天我們要讓你的回答更升級!
Yeah, let’s get into it.
沒錯,我們開始吧!
Help you sound more natural and confident when you’re out there.
讓你在用英語回答時聽起來更自然、更有自信。
More like a native speaker.
就像母語人士一樣。
So, okay. So, let’s say you’re at a restaurant and you’re really, really impressed by your meal.
假設你在餐廳吃到一道讓你超驚豔的料理,
Would you just say something like it was absolutely delicious?
你會只說「It was absolutely delicious(真的超級好吃)」嗎?
Oh, yeah. Absolutely. You can definitely use that. And it’s a great way to add emphasis, you know?
喔,當然可以!這句話很適合用來強調你真的很喜歡這道菜。
Uhhuh.
嗯哼。
Like, absolutely. Really shows that you’re enjoying it and you’re excited about the food.
像「absolutely」這個詞就能表達出你對食物的喜愛和興奮感。
Got it.
了解。
I think it works really well in like a formal setting, too,
我覺得在比較正式的場合,這種說法也很適合,
where maybe just saying yummy would sound a little too casual, you know, to make sense, you know? Yeah.
因為單純說「yummy」可能會顯得太隨便,尤其是在正式場合。
So, delicious is a great word. I think it’s kind of a workhorse. You can use it almost anywhere.
所以「delicious」這個詞真的很萬用,幾乎在任何場合都適合。
Okay. Awesome. So, what about something like I really enjoyed it. Thank you.
太棒了!那如果說「I really enjoyed it. Thank you.(我真的很享受這道菜,謝謝。)」呢?
That seems polite and genuine.
聽起來既有禮貌又真誠。
Yeah, it is very polite. And you actually hit on a really important word there, which is enjoy.
沒錯,這句話很有禮貌。而且你提到了一個很重要的單字:「enjoy」。
Okay.
喔,了解。
Because English speakers use enjoy all the time when we talk about food.
因為在談論食物時,英語母語人士很常用「enjoy」這個詞。
Interesting.
真有趣!
So, you could hear did you enjoy your meal? Or you might hear, “Are you enjoying your steak?”
像是你可能會聽到服務生問「Did you enjoy your meal?(你喜歡這餐嗎?)」或「Are you enjoying your steak?(你的牛排好吃嗎?)」
Oh, so using enjoy will really help me to sound more like a native speaker.
原來使用「enjoy」能讓我聽起來更像母語人士啊!
It really will. And it shows that you’re, you know, comfortable with the language.
真的!而且這也顯示出你對英語很熟悉。
Now, what if I want to mention a specific thing that I liked about the dish?
那如果我想特別提到一道菜中我最喜歡的部分呢?
Right. Well, then you could say something like, “I really like the sauce.”
好問題!你可以說「I really like the sauce.(我很喜歡這個醬汁。)」
Okay.
懂了。
And that’s a great way to give like more details.
這是一個很好的方式,能提供更多細節,
Than just saying like, “Oh, it’s good.” You know, shows you’re really paying attention to the flavors and you’re picking out what you like the best.
比起單純說「Oh, it’s good(喔,很好吃)」更具體,這能表現出你有仔細品嚐、並挑出自己最喜歡的部分。
Yeah. I like that. And you can even use that same structure to talk about different parts of the meal, you know.
我喜歡這個方式。而且你還可以用同樣的句型來描述餐點中的不同部分。
Oh, okay.
喔,原來如此。
Like you could say the vegetables were really good or the presentation was fantastic.
像是可以說「The vegetables were really good(蔬菜很好吃)」或「The presentation was fantastic(擺盤超棒的)」。
That’s really helpful. Lots of possibilities.
這真的很實用,有很多種說法可以運用!
Um, so what other advice would you have for navigating these how did it taste situations?
那還有其他建議可以應對「How did it taste?」這類問題嗎?
Well, I think one thing to remember is that even native English speakers, we use a variety of phrases, right? So there’s not just one right answer.
其實連母語人士在回答這類問題時也會使用不同的表達方式,並沒有唯一正確的答案。
And the most important thing is just to be yourself.
最重要的是保持真誠,做自己就好。
Be confident.
要有自信。
Speak confidently. Exactly.
自信地說出來,沒錯!
Don’t be afraid to try out these phrases and see what feels most natural for you. And also, if you need a minute to think,
不要害怕嘗試這些表達方式,看看哪種最適合你。如果你需要時間思考,
you can always just buy yourself some time and say something like, “It’s really good. I’m still enjoying it.”
你也可以說「It’s really good. I’m still enjoying it.(真的很好吃,我還在慢慢品嚐中。)」來爭取時間。
That’s a great tip.
這是個很棒的小技巧!
Yeah, I like that.
我也喜歡這個方法。
It gives you a chance to kind of gather your thoughts.
這可以幫助你整理思緒。
Yeah. And nobody wants to rush through a delicious meal anyway.
對啊,畢竟沒有人想要匆匆結束一頓美味的餐點。
Exactly. So, yeah, I think the big takeaway is to just find what works for you.
沒錯!總結來說,找到最適合你的表達方式才是重點。
Express your enjoyment of the meal and don’t be afraid to have fun with it.
勇敢表達你對食物的喜愛,並且享受這個過程!
Have fun with it. Exactly.
對,就是要享受!
Now, here’s a little something to think about.
現在來個小挑戰讓大家思考一下。
Okay.
好啊!
How would you describe a dish that looked amazing but when you tasted it, it really wasn’t as good as you expected?
如果一道菜看起來很美味,但吃起來卻不如預期,你會怎麼用英語描述呢?
Interesting.
這個問題很有趣!
Yeah. So, it’s something to think about and keep practicing. You’ll be a restaurant English pro in no time.
沒錯!這值得好好思考並多練習,很快你就會變成餐廳英語達人!
Absolutely. You got this.
絕對沒問題,你可以做到的!
All right. Thanks for joining us, everybody. See you next time for another deep dive.
好啦,謝謝大家今天的收聽!我們下次再見,繼續深入探討更多主題!
