At a lot of restaurants, the special is whatever they need to sell before it goes bad. Especially watch out for the soup of the day. If it contains fish or if it’s some kind of "gumbo," it's probably the stuff they're trying to get rid of.

在很多餐館裏，他們着急要賣掉要壞掉的食物。所以要特別注意當天的湯，如果裏面有魚或者秋葵，那可能就是他們想立馬處理掉。

never ask for lemon in a drink. Everybody touches them. Nobody washes them. They just peel the stickers off, cut them up, and throw them in your iced tea.

絕對不要在飲料里加檸檬，因爲每個人都摸過這些檸檬，卻沒人清洗過。他們只是剝下來然後切成片，就扔到了你的冰茶裏

If a server doesn’t like you, he might try to embarrass you in front of your business associate or date by bringing your credit card back and saying, "Do you have another card? This one didn’t go through."

如果一個服務生討厭你的話，他會想辦法在你同伴面前羞辱你，他會把你的信用卡拿回來說：“你還有其他的卡嗎，這個不能用。”

　　People think that just because your food took a long time, it's the server's fault. Nine times out of ten, it's the kitchen.

人們總是以爲你的菜上的慢是因爲做起來費時間，其實是服務的原因。十有八九是廚房怠慢的原因。
