酒水服务 Beverage Service
经典对话： 推荐佐餐酒 S=Sommelier 斟酒服务员 G=Guest顾客
S： Good evening,, sir. Would you like to order some wine with your meal？
G： Um, yes. What would you recommend？
S： I think that Chablis or a Muscatel would go very well with your oysters.
我想白葡萄酒或者麝香葡萄酒和您点的牡蛎都很相配。
G： We’d like one which is very dry. The Muscatel（麝香葡萄酒） is ok.
S： How much would you like？
G： We’ll take a half bottle of that then.
S： And what would you like with your steak？
G： Let me see, do you have a very full-bodied wine which is not too fruity？
我想想看，你们有没有什么酒很浓郁，但是没有什么水果味？
S： Our own house wine which we import specially, the Chateau de lescours,
would be very suitable. It is Burgundy with a rich but delicate body which is not too dry. 我们特别金库的招牌酒“沙托得拉斯寇”酒很合适。那是一种浓郁而美味的布根地酒，也不至太没有甜味。
G: That sounds just right. We’ll have a full bottle of that.
S: Certainly, sir. Just a moment, please.
推荐中国酒
S: Good evening! Would you like some wine? Here is the wine list.
G: Yes. What would you recommend?
S: Since（既然） you ordered Chinese food, I’d suggest you try some Chinese wine. We have Chinese rice wine（中国米酒） and Chinese white liquor（中国白酒）.
G: Are there any differences between them?
S: Yes. Chinese rice wine is made from rice or sticky rice（糯米）, the Chinese white wine is made from barley（大麦）, wheat （小麦）or Chinese sorghum（高粱）. People from south of China prefer rice wine while those from the north drink white liquor. If you prefer mild liquor（低度酒）, I think the Chinese yellow wine will be a good choice and it go well with the crab（螃蟹） you ordered.
G: Fine. We’d like some Shaoxing Jia Fan Jiu.
斟酒服务
S: (Shows the brand to the guest) Your Red Burgundy（勃 第红葡萄酒） May I serve it now?

（将一小口酒倒给客人）请试酒，先生。味道还可以吗？
