咖啡,以其独特的醇香征服了人们的味蕾,深入人们的生活。午后阳光下的小坐,两三知己闲聚,总离不开咖啡相佐。可要是遇到需要用英语点咖啡的情况,只会指着图片说this one,那可是大煞风景啊,还是学几句点咖啡的常用语,行走江湖心里也有底啊。
>>堂食咖啡>>
A: Hey, are you all right?
B: Yes. Hmm… can I please have … a soy latte?
A: Have it here or take away?
B: I'll have it here.
A: Can you show me the table you're gonna sit?
B: The one close to the window.
A: Yep. Anything else?
B: No, thank you.
A: Two dollars eighty please!
(B hands over 5 dollars.)
A: That's five dollars
(A then entry the transaction, put the money in the cash machine and get the change.)

Tips:
1. soy latte
soy latte:豆浆拿铁
2. eat-in / takeaway
eat-in(堂食), 只有一种size。
Takeaway(外带),会有不同size以供选择。
3. you're gonna sit.
gonna=going to,常用于美国口语。
4. Yep.
yep:<俚语>是。
虽然yep、yup等词与yes的字面解释相同,但是使用yep、yup更加俏皮一些,适用于网络、通常会话中使用。而且多用于同辈人,朋友之间。请勿用于长辈,老师,因为yep、yup多少有点随意,不太尊重。事实上,在美国中部,西部地区、加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰口语中yep、yup常用于回答人家的感谢或表示肯定、赞成等;yep也是西方人回应Thank you的方式之一,而且流行程度远远超过You are welcome. 常见于餐厅,网络等非正式场合。正式场合中,yep一般不能替代You are welcome.请不要过分依赖字典的字面意思,西方人不会用yep, yup代替yes。
