OK. Thank a lot.好的，谢谢出口成章订餐桌If you are going to a restaurant for dinner, it is usually a good idea to telephone for a reservation. Cities are crowed and good restaurants will not hold reservations for more than a short time. If you cannot get into a restaurant because you have not reserved ahead, don’t be angry. Restaurants can only serve a certain number of people at one time, and if they are already filled, they must turn away any additional people who want to dine there. Frequently, a table will be available if you are willing to wait 20 or 30 minutes for it.要到餐馆吃晚饭，一般最好先打订座。

城市人多，好的餐馆只给你预定的座位留一段时间如果你由于没预先订座而不能进餐馆可别生气，餐馆在一定时间只能招待一定数目的客人，要是位子已满，只有其余想进餐的客人挡驾，如果你肯等上二三十分钟，就可以等到一张桌子。
