  A: My name is Zhong.

  B: How do you spell it, sir

  A: Z-H-O-N-G.

  A:我想要订一张今晚七点三个人的桌位。

  B:好的。请教您的大名是?

  ★「订桌位」还有如下的说法:

  (我这个礼拜六晚上想订张桌位。)

  We are a group of four.

  (我们有四个人。)

  There will be three of us.

  (我们有三个人。)

  ★"Hold on, please"是打电话时请对方「稍候片刻(不要挂断)」的意思,类似的说法有:

  Hold the line a moment, please.

  One moment, please.

  Just a second, please.

  Just a moment, please.

  ★要「挑选中意的位子」时可说:

  We’d prefer a table by the window.(我们喜欢靠窗的桌位。)

  We’d like to sit by the window.(我们想要坐在窗边。)

  We’d like to sit in the nonsmoking area.(我们想要坐在非吸烟区。)

  We’d like a smoking table.(我们想要吸烟区的桌位。)

  I’d like a quiet corner, if possible.(我想要安静的角落,如果可能的话。)

  Could we have a table close to the band(我们可以选靠近乐队的桌位吗?)
