情景对话38：吃晚餐

(38).At Dinner 吃晚餐

            Dinner time varies somewhat in the United States. In small towns it
            may be as early as 5:00, while in large cities it may be as late as
            9:00. It's best to call for a reservation in expensive or well-known
            restaurants.
            在美国吃晚餐的时间不尽相同。在小城镇可能早在下午五点就吃晚餐，而在大城市可能晚到九点才吃。如果上高级餐厅或有名的饭店去吃晚饭，最好是先打电话预定。
