1、国外客户吃饭请国外客户吃饭,不能用我们国人的思维方式,一开口就是“一起吃个饭怎么样?”,这样对有些客户来说可能很不礼貌,我们看国外电影时,只要你留意,就会发现,男主角请女主角吃饭都是问“明天晚上有空吗?”,所以,如果你想请国外客户吃饭,应该先礼貌的问一下“你是否有空 .”I wonder if you have time this evening? 我想知道您今晚是否有空?Would you be interested in dinner with me ? 今晚能请您吃个饭吗?Which kind of restaurant do you prefer, Chinese or Western

There is a Deli over there,do you like it? 那里有一家 Deli(餐厅),你喜不喜欢呢?美国的餐厅可分很多种,Restaurant 是一般的通称,另外常用到的有 Deli :供应三明治,沙拉这种现成的,不需再经过烹调的餐厅,例如

5、Tea,以及Lemonade 等。如果什么都不要,就说 Just water。值得注意的是,在一般的速食店提到 drink 都是指 soft drink 而言。但是一般人说到 have a drink 时,他们多半指的是 alcoholic,也就是含酒精的饮料。所以如果有人问你,“Come on, have a drink with us.” 他绝不是要你跟他们一起喝可乐的意思,而是要你跟他们一起喝酒啦!4.
