3.详细解说
1.“right”在这里是副词，相当于“well”，在口语中表示“（在某种程度上）很好，很令人满意”。例如：Everything's going right for him at the moment.（目前，他一切都进行得很好。）
It'll work out right in the end.（最终会很好地解决的。）
2.“chef”的英文解释为“a skilled cook. especially the main cook in a hotel or restaurant”，即“厨艺过硬的厨师，大厨，主厨”。另外，“master chef”表示“主厨”，“pastry chef
”表示“面点师傅”。
3.“I've had enough.”表示”我吃饱了。”类似的表达还有：I'm full.（我饱了。）I'm stuffed.（我很饱了。）I can't eat another bite.（我一口也吃不下了。）
4.文化洗礼
处理餐厅投诉
处理投诉是餐厅服务员需要具备的基本能力。处理投诉时不但要站在顾客的角度为顾客解决问题，还要学会巧妙地维护餐厅的声誉和利益。处理投诉的基本程序和方法如下：
1.倾听(listen)。在聆听时要保持与顾客的目光接触，不时地用“Uh-huh”、“Oh”、“Yes”一或点头等身体语言(body language)来表明自己在认真倾听。
2.记录(note)。问清客人的姓名等基本信息。尽量做好笔记，同时向客人重复要点，确保信息的正确性。
3.沟通(communicate)。迅速判断客人投诉的原因、内容以及自己可以采取的解决方案，如赠送水果、餐券等。在说话时，不要笼统地用Sir/Madam来称呼，而应使用Mr. XX或Ms. XX．使他们感到自己受
到关注。
4.致歉(apologize)。如果是餐厅方面的错误，应郑重道歉“We do apologize for...”。即使不是，也应礼貌地说：“I'm sorry to hear that.”（听您这么说我感到很遗憾。）
5.请经理(get the manager)。如果超出自己的权限，应立即请经理出面解决。这时要对顾客：“Sorry．can you wait a moment, please?I'll get the manager for you.”（抱歉，能否请您稍等一
会儿？我请经理来为您解决。）
6.致谢(express thanks)。务必说一些感激的话语：“Thank you for bringing the matter to our attention.”（感谢您提醒我们注意这个问题。）
7.保证(promise)。还应说一些保证的话语，给顾客以再次光顾的信心：“I assure you that it won't happen again.”（您尽可以放心，不会再发生这种事情了。）
