Notes注释
1 Sometimes, there's very little good to say about a restaurant. For example, here the customer found the meat so tough that he wouldn't recommend it: The vegetables were fresh, but the meat was tough. / The vegetables were fresh but the meat was tough. / I wouldn't recommend it at all. / I wouldn't recommend it at all.
有时,对于一家餐馆没有什么好的评价。例如,这里的顾客发现那里的肉很硬,所以他不会推荐这家餐馆:The vegetables were fresh, but the meat was tough. /蔬菜很新鲜,但是肉很硬。/ I wouldn't recommend it at all. /我绝对不会推荐它了。
2 To ask someone's opinion about a place you know about, but haven't been to, for example, a restaurant, you can ask: I've heard about that restaurant. / I've heard about that restaurant. / What was the food like? / What was the food like?
要问某人对你知道但没有去过的某个地方的意见,比如,一家餐馆,你可以这样问:I've heard about that restaurant. /我听说过那家餐馆的情况。/ What was the food like? /那里的饭菜怎么样?
