Difficult Customer | Elementary - 双语字幕
Hello English learners and welcome to EnglishPod, my name is Marco.
I'm Amira and Amira and I are here today with a great, great lesson for you.
Yes, we are.
Today we're going to be talking about a restaurant.
Amira, why don't you give us a...
little bit more details.
Well, we're talking about a situation in a restaurant and two people are involved, the waiter and the customer.
And I don't want to say anymore.
Okay, don't say anymore.
Let's just listen to this dialogue and we'll be back later to explain it.
Good evening.
My name is Fabio.
I'll be your waiter for tonight.
May I take your order?
No, I'm still working on it.
This menu is not even in English.
What's good here?
For you sir, I would recommend spaghetti.
Does it come with coconut fries?
It comes with either soup or salad and a complimentary glass of wine, sir.
I'll go with the spaghetti and meatballs, salad and the wine.
Excellent choice.
Your order will be ready soon.
How soon is soon?
20 minutes?
You know what?
I'll just go grab a burger across the street.
Uh oh, what a waiter.
What a waiter.
He is really angry at that.
this customer and I can't blame him.
I would be angry too.
Yeah, so I think Marko, you have chosen some interesting expressions for us here.
What is the first one?
Well, the first one is I'm still working on it.
I'm still working on it.
I'm still working on it.
I'm still working on it.
Why don't we listen to some other examples on how you can use this word and then we'll come back and explain it.
Did you finish reading the magazine?
I'm still working on it.
Did you fix my call?
I'm working on it.
Oh, so you could say I'm still working on it means I need more time.
Fantastic.
Great.
Okay.
It's clear.
I have another one for you guys.
It's a phrase commonly used and you'll hear it all the time.
Coke fries.
Coke and fries.
Coke and fries.
Coke and fries.
It's a short way of saying Coca Cola and French fries.
So that's basically it.
fast food.
Yeah, burger, Coke, and fries.
Okay.
What's next on the menu?
On the menu we have a complimentary glass of wine.
Complementary glass of wine.
Complementary glass of wine.
Complementary means that it's free.
Free.
Yes.
We love it.
that, huh?
Yeah, we definitely like free things.
Well, um, I have another one for us here, another interesting phrase.
I'll go with.
I'll go with.
I'll go with.
So basically it's another way of saying I'm choosing.
Yeah, I'll choose or I'll take.
I'll take.
Okay, very good.
Alright, the next word that I want to take a look at is grab.
Grab.
Okay, now let's listen to some other examples of how we could use grab in different situations and then we'll come back and explain it.
On your way home can you grab some milk?
Wait for me please, I need to grab my coat.
Alright, well, I would understand that Go Grab means Go Get Quickly.
Go Get Quickly, yeah.
Yeah.
Alright everyone,
so now it's time to listen one more time to the dialogue and listen carefully and try to understand why the waiter doesn't like the customer.
Let's listen.
Good evening, my name is Fabio, I'll be your waiter for tonight, may I take your order?
No I'm still working on it, this menu is not even in English, what's good here?
For you sir, I would recommend spaghetti and meatballs, does it come with coconut fries?
It comes with either soup or salad and a complimentary glass of wine, sir.
I'll go with the spaghetti and meatballs.
and the wine.
Excellent choice.
Your order will be ready soon.
How soon is soon?
20 minutes?
You know what?
I'll just go grab a burger across the street.
Marco why did this waiter get angry at the customer well he basically wasted the
waiter's time I mean this guy comes into the restaurant he is not very polite
and he's asking all these questions in the end he just gets up and says ah I'll just
go grab a burger across the street yeah and I also think that this guy was a lot
more casual than the place he was in right yeah yeah I think this was a nice
fancy restaurant so I think he was in the wrong place yeah so how many times
Marco tell me do you really have fast food a week fast food.
Let's see.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
Oh my god.
No, no.
I think I get fast food maybe once a week, once or twice a week.
Alright, talking about fast food made me hungry.
So think I'm gonna go grab something to eat myself.
Yeah, me too.
Alright, I hope you guys...
