你想喝什么?是甜的还是不甜的?多冰还是少冰?在中国的街头,果汁店随处可见。今天,我们会学习如何自信地在果汁店点一杯你最爱的果汁。听完这一集,你就能轻松说出“我要一杯橙汁,少冰,半糖!”

今天天气很热,我走在路上,感觉口很渴。我想喝点什么。我看到一家果汁店,外面写着“鲜榨果汁”。看起来很新鲜!我走进店里,店员说:“欢迎光临!请问您想喝什么?” 我看了看菜单。菜单上有好多水果:苹果,橙子,西瓜,芒果。我想,嗯,我喜欢橙子。橙汁听起来很不错。店员很忙,但她看到了我。她又问了一次:“您好,您想喝点什么?” 我有点紧张,但我想尝试用中文说。

Let's pause our story for a moment and look at some useful phrases from that first part.

  • 口很渴 (kǒu hěn kě) — very thirsty, 我现在口很渴,想喝水。
  • 果汁店 (guǒzhī diàn) — juice bar, 这家果汁店的橙汁很好喝。
  • 欢迎光临 (huānyíng guānglín) — welcome (to our store), 饭店的员工说:“欢迎光临!”
  • 菜单 (càidān) — menu, 请给我菜单,谢谢。
  • 橙汁 (chéngzhī) — orange juice, 我喜欢喝甜甜的橙汁。
  • 新鲜 (xīnxiān) — fresh, 这里的蔬菜很新鲜。, 好了,我们回到果汁店,看看接下来发生了什么。

我指着菜单上的橙子说:“我要一杯橙汁。” 店员笑着说:“好的,一杯橙汁。您要加冰吗?甜度要多少?” 我想了想。夏天这么热,加冰会很舒服。甜度嘛,我不太喜欢太甜的。我记得在中国,很多人会说“少糖”或者“半糖”。于是我说:“少冰,半糖,谢谢!” 店员很快地帮我做好了果汁。她递给我说:“一共十五块。” 我拿出手机扫码付钱。在中国,很多人都用手机支付,非常方便。我喝了一口,哇,真的很新鲜,味道刚刚好。今天真开心!

现在,让我们一起来练习一下这些有用的句子吧。请跟我一起说。

  • 我口很渴,想喝点什么。 — I'm very thirsty, I want to drink something.
  • 我要一杯橙汁。 — I want a glass of orange juice.
  • 请给我菜单。 — Please give me the menu.
  • 您要加冰吗? — Do you want to add ice?
  • 少冰,半糖,谢谢! — Less ice, half sugar, thank you!
  • 一共十五块。 — The total is fifteen kuai., 非常好!你做得很好!

今天我们练习了在果汁店点饮料的常用语。你现在知道怎么说“我要一杯橙汁”和“少冰,半糖”了。你最喜欢喝什么果汁呢?下次去果汁店,你会点什么?
