十三、 At Fast Food Restaurant 在快餐店

　　Fast food restaurants are popular in the United States for quick, inexpensive meals or snacks(点心). You order your food and take it to a table yourself. If you order your food “to go”, you take it out of the restaurant. Tipping is not necessary in this kind of restaurant.

　　1. A: What would you like to eat?

　　B: I'd like a hamburger with lettuce (莴苣) and tomato.

　　A: How about something to drink?

　　B: A Coke, please.

　　A: OK. I'll see if I can get waited on.

　　2. A: What can I get you?

　　B: A cheeseburger and an order of French fries would be great.

　　A: Would you like anything to drink?

　　B: I feel like having a Coke.

　　A: That's a good idea. I think I'll join you.

　　十四、 Asking About Health 问候健康

　　People often ask about health out of politeness. This is a very common way to begin a conversation.

　　1. A: Where's Tony this evening?

　　B: He's a little under the weather.

　　A: Really! What's the matter with him?

　　B: He has the flu.

　　A: Tell him I was asking about him.

　　B: I will.

　　2. A: I haven't seen Bob lately. How is he?

　　B: He's still pretty sick.

　　A: That's too bad. What does he have?

　　B: We don't know, but he's going to see a doctor tomorrow.

　　A: Let me know if there's anything I can do.

　　B: Thanks a lot. I'll tell him.
