　　After they had enjoyed their starter, John and Jane received their main courses. However, John’s steak was very overdone. When the waiter came to make sure that everything was fine, this is what happened:

　　他们进食完前菜后，John及Jane迎来他们的主菜。但是John的牛排太熟了。当侍应生来到问候他们的时，对话为：

　　John: I ordered this steak medium rare and it is well done. Could I please have one that is medium rare?

　　John: 我点了三成熟的牛排，但这牛排已全熟了，我可以要一份三成熟的牛排吗？

　　Waiter: Certainly sir, my mistake. It will just take a moment。

　　侍应生： 当然可以，先生。是我的错，很快就好啦。

　　John: Thank you。

　　John: 谢谢你。

　　John’s steak was brought back and this time it was perfect. Everything on his plate was hot and sizzling, and he found the entire meal to be so wonderful that the waiter’s prior mistake was immediately forgotten. When the waiter returned to take their plates and their dessert orders, this is what happened:

　　John的牛排端回来了，这次煮得刚刚好。他碟上的所有东西热腾腾香喷喷，他觉得整个晚餐都很乐而忘返，连刚才侍应生的小过失都忘记了。当侍应生生回来拿走他们的碟子及帮他们点甜品时，对话如下：

　　Waiter: Was everything to your satisfaction?

　　侍应生： 所有食物都满意吗？

　　Jane: Oh yes, it was delicious, thank you。

　　Waiter: My pleasure, sir. I’m sure the chef will be very pleased to hear that. Would you like to order dessert?

　　Jane: I’ll just have a coffee, please。

　　John: I’ll have the ice-cream and chocolate sauce, please。

　　John: 我想要朱古力酱加雪糕，谢谢你。

　　Waiter: Right away。

　　侍应生： 马上来。

　　John and Jane have enjoyed their meal very much, and have managed to chat about their interests during the meal. It has been a lovely evening. When the waiter comes to clear away the dessert plates, this is what happens:

　　John及Jane非常享受他们的晚餐，也能在席间谈论他们的兴趣。这是一个美好的夜晚。当侍应生过来拿走甜点碟时，对话如下：

　　John: May we have the bill, please?

　　John: 请结账，谢谢。

　　Waiter: Here you are, sir。

　　侍应生： 先生，这是你的账单，请过目。

　　John looks at the total amount. Usually, waiters are tipped between 10% and 15% of the total, depending on the quality of their service. John decides to tip 13% because the waiter was very helpful but made a mistake with John’s main. John writes the amount that he is tipping the waiter beneath the cost of the meal, and totals the two amounts below that. He hands the waiter his credit card, signs the slip, and he and Jane take a walk around the neighbourhood。

　　John看看账单的总数。通常客人都会给侍应生账单总数10% 及15%的小费，视乎他们的服务质量。John决定要给13%因为侍应生很乐于助人但又弄错了John的主菜。John在账单总数下写消费数目，而在其下面再写总数。他给侍应生其信用卡，签好单，然后再带Jane在附近散步。
