bI'm very glad you could come, Mr. Liu. Will you take a seat at the head of the table? It's an informal dinner, please don't stand on ceremony... Mr. Liu, would you like to have some chicken?
刘先生,您能来我很高兴,请上坐。这是一次家常便饭,请大家别客气。刘先生,要吃点鸡肉吗?
aThank you. This is my first time to come to a Chinese restaurant. Could you tell me the different features of Chinese food?
谳谢,这是我第一次来中餐馆,请给我讲讲中国菜的不同特色好吗?

一般来讲,广东菜清淡一些;上海菜比较油腻:湖南菜香味浓,辣味很重。
aChinese dishes are exquisitely prepared, delicious, and very palatable. They are very good in colour,flavour,and taste.

bDid you enjoy the meal?
