點餐與購物
🎯 這一課你會學會
出門在外真正用得到的英語:在店裡、餐廳點東西、問價錢、結帳。學完你能說 I'd like a coffee、How much is it?、Can I have the check, please?——出國自己搞定吃和買。
💬 先聽一段對話
在咖啡店:
Server: Hi, what can I get you?(嗨,要點什麼?) Rin: I'd like a coffee and a sandwich, please.(我要一杯咖啡和一個三明治,謝謝。) Server: Sure. For here or to go?(好的。內用還是外帶?) Rin: To go, please. How much is it?(外帶,謝謝。多少錢?) Server: That's 6 dollars.(6 元。) Rin: Here you go. Thank you!(給你。謝謝!)

📒 高頻單字
| 單字 | KK 音標 | 中譯 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|---|
| want | /wɑnt/ | 想要 | I want a coffee.(我要杯咖啡。) |
| much | /mʌtʃ/ | 多少 | How much is it?(多少錢?) |
| dollar | /ˈdɑlɚ/ | 元 | It's five dollars.(五元。) |
| price | /praɪs/ | 價格 | What's the price?(價錢多少?) |
| buy | /baɪ/ | 買 | I want to buy this.(我想買這個。) |
| pay | /pe/ | 付錢 | Can I pay by card?(可以刷卡嗎?) |
| please | /pliz/ | 請 | Coffee, please.(請給我咖啡。) |
🧩 文法點:I'd like / Can I…?(客氣說法)
在店裡、餐廳,別用 I want(太直接、有點沒禮貌),用這兩個:
① I'd like __(= I would like,「我想要」的客氣版)
- I'd like a cup of coffee.(想要一杯咖啡)
- I'd like two tickets, please.(想要兩張票)
- 後面接名詞;想接動作用 I'd like to __:I'd like to pay now.
② Can I have / get __?(「可以給我/點…嗎?」)
- Can I have a menu?(可以給我菜單嗎?)
- Can I get the check?(可以結帳嗎?)
加上 please 是關鍵:英語的禮貌很大一部分靠 please 和 thank you,句尾加一個 please,整句就從「命令」變「請求」。
回應價錢:It's / That's _ dollars.(單數 1 元 = one dollar,複數要加 -s = five dollars。)
🗣️ 發音提醒
- I'd /aɪd/:是 I would 縮寫,一個音「愛的」,別唸成兩個字。
- much /mʌtʃ/:結尾 -ch /tʃ/(「去」的氣音),How much 連著唸。
- dollars 的 -ar- 美式有捲舌;結尾 -s 記得帶。
✍️ 開口練習
練習 1:把 I want 換成客氣說法。
- I want a coffee. → I'd like a coffee, please.
- I want the check. → Can I have the check, please?
練習 2:角色扮演(咖啡店)。 自己分飾兩角唸一遍:
— Hi, what can I get you? — I'd like __, please. How much is it? — That's _ dollars. — Here you go. Thank you!
練習 3:問價錢。 指三樣東西問:
How much is this? / How much are these?
🎒 帶走
- 客氣點餐/要東西:I'd like _, please / Can I have _, please?(別用光禿禿的 I want)。
- 問價:How much is it?;結帳:Can I have the check?(美 check/英 bill)。
- please / thank you 是英語禮貌的核心,句尾加 please 就對了。
