在口语考试中,常见的话题场景有购物、度假、居住、旅行、运动、兴趣、家人、朋友、工作、学习、动物、技术、健康、天气等等。关于预定,大家可以选择酒店(book a hotel)、商店(book a shop)、餐厅(book a restaurant)、医院(book a hospital)、飞机火车(book transport)、娱乐设施(book entertainment facilities)等等进行准备。
I remember that this restaurant was incredibly famous and it is always crowded. So my parents made a reservation online in advance, but we still waited for about half an hour in the queue. You know, the interior was really nice and the food was even better. Therefore, this restaurant has always left a deep impression on me, and I have been looking forward to visiting there again for many years.
“订”这个词的英文说法有很多,reserve 和book都可以表示预定,前者侧重保护某物不被别人预定,后者表示有期限的预定,并不代表正式购买。“预订餐厅”还可以用另一个表达方式:make a reservation at a restaurant。
