用法說明

How is "Restaurant" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Restaurant"?

restaurant 與 eatery / diner / café 的區別

  • restaurant 是最通用、最正式的詞,指提供完整餐點服務的場所,從簡單到高級餐廳都適用。
  • eatery 是較為口語、非正式的用語,泛指任何可以吃東西的地方,包括小餐館、小吃店。
  • diner 在美式英語中特指提供經典美式食物(如漢堡、三明治)的休閒、復古風格餐廳,通常有櫃檯座位。
  • café 主要強調提供咖啡、茶、輕食(如三明治、糕點)的場所,不一定供應完整正餐。 EN: We celebrated our anniversary at a fancy French restaurant. 翻譯: 我們在一家高級法國餐廳慶祝週年紀念。

EN:Let's grab a quick bite at the new eatery around the corner.

翻譯:我們去街角那家新開的小吃店隨便吃點東西吧。

翻譯:我常在那家咖啡館工作,因為他們的咖啡很棒,還有免費無線網路。

總結建議

描述一般用餐場所時,使用 restaurant 最為安全通用;若想強調特定風格或餐飲類型,可選用 dinercafé;在非正式場合則可用 eatery

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Restaurant"?Which "Restaurant" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×I went to a restaurant for eating dinner.

I went to a restaurant to eat dinner.

使用 'for + V-ing' 表示目的不自然。使用 'to + 動詞原形' 來表達去餐廳的目的更為常見且正確。

×Let's go to restaurant.

Let's go to a/the restaurant.

在英文中,可數名詞 'restaurant' 通常需要冠詞 (a/an/the) 或所有格 (my, that) 等限定詞,除非它是專有名詞的一部分。

×I work in a restaurant as a cooker.

I work in a restaurant as a cook.

'Cooker' 在英文中指的是烹飪用具(如電鍋、壓力鍋),而不是從事烹飪工作的人。在餐廳工作的廚師是 'cook' 或 'chef'。

×The foods in that restaurant are delicious.

The food in that restaurant is delicious.

'Food' 通常是不可數名詞,泛指食物,使用單數動詞。'Foods' 僅在特指不同種類的食物時使用,例如 'Italian and Chinese foods',但在一般情境下談論餐廳的餐點,使用 'food' 更為自然。

×We will have a meeting on the restaurant.

We will have a meeting at/in the restaurant.

表示在某個地點(如餐廳、學校、車站)時,通常使用介系詞 'at' 或 'in'。'On' 用於表示在物體表面之上,或用於特定日期、街道名稱。

×This is my favorite restaurant because its environment is good.

This is my favorite restaurant because the atmosphere is nice.

在描述餐廳給人的整體感覺、氛圍時,'atmosphere' 是比 'environment'(通常指自然或社會環境)更貼切、更地道的用詞。
