Deciding on a Restaurant
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.?Julius: Sure.商定餐馆
'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。
