I’m Feifei. Diarmuid: And I’m Diarmuid. Today we’re going to talk about eating Out. Feifei, do people often eat out in China? Feifei: Oh yes, eating out下馆子 is very popular and it is quite cheap. In fact many people who live in cities always eat out and never cook at home. Diarmuid: Really? Well let’s look at some useful words that are often used in restaurants. The first thing we need in a restaurant is the ‘menu’. Feifei: Menu 菜单。 Diarmuid: Exactly and usually it’s divided into 3 sections. Starters. Feifei: Starters 头盘。 Diarmuid: Main courses. Feifei: Main courses 主菜。 Diarmuid: Desserts. Feifei: Desserts 甜点。 Diarmuid: Yes, so you could ask your friend, “Would you like a starter?” Feifei: Would you like a starter? 你要来一个头盘吗？ Diarmuid: That’s right, and often the restaurant will have some food which is only for that day. Feifei: Oh, yes. What is that called? Diarmuid: Today’s specials. Feifei: Today’s specials 今日特别推荐。I see. And how about the kinds of food we might see in the restaurant. Diarmuid: Well of course in a Chinese restaurant there is rice. Feifei: 米饭。 Diarmuid: Or noodles. Feifei: 面条。 Example: A: Can I have the menu please? B: Sure, would you like a starter, maybe a soup or some salad? A: Ok, I’ll have the soup please. Diarmuid: And then there are the different kinds of meats like pork. Feifei: 猪肉。 Diarmuid: Chicken. Feifei: 鸡肉。 Diarmuid: Beef. Feifei: 牛肉。Oh, but we often have more types of meat than that! Diarmuid: I know but your friends might only eat those kinds of meat! They might also be vegetarian. Feifei: Vegetarian 素食者。Oh yes, this is becoming more common in China too. Diarmuid: I see, Feifei. How about the different food in China? Is every restaurant the same with chop suey and sweet and sour pork on the menu? Feifei: Chop Suey? 什锦鲜蔬？Sweet and sour pork 糖醋里脊。There’s more than that. In China there are many regional varieties of food. 在中国有很多来自不同地区 的菜系，其中最受欢迎的四种分别是川菜。Four of the most popular are: 川菜。 Diarmuid: Szechuan. Feifei: 粤菜。 Diarmuid: Cantonese. Feifei: 江浙菜。 Diarmuid: Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Feifei: 鲁菜。 Diarmuid: Shandong. Wow, you really do have a lot of food in China! Well at the end of the meal somebody still has to pay the bill don’t they? Feifei: Oh yes, the bill 账单。 We do this very differently. In Britain you often like to share it but we never do that in China! Diarmuid: Oh is that right? So I guess you just say, “It’s on me” Feifei: It’s on me 我请客。 That’s right and then we fight to pay the bill but since you are a visitor Diarmuid, nobody will expect you to pay! Diarmuid: Really, well let’s go for dinner then Feifei! That is all for today, goodbye. Feifei: Yes. 好了，今天这一课就到这儿。别忘了我们的网站每天都会更新，网址是 www.bbcchina.com.cn. Goodbye!
