How To Say It

Use these natural phrases to sound confident in real situations.

1先能顺利订位的必备句
I'd like to make a reservation订位 for two两位.
💡

Why it works

“I'd like to” 比 “I want” 更礼貌;“make a reservation” 是最常用的订位说法;“for two” 清楚说明人数。

More ways to say it

  • I'd like to book a table for two.
  • Can I reserve a table for two?

Don't Say This

Common mistakes and how to sound more natural.

I want book a table for two.

Say instead

I'd like to book a table for two.

💡

Native insight

中文里直接说“我想订位”很自然,但英语里如果太直接,会显得生硬,所以学习者常把中文直译过来。

Can you reserve me a table?

Say instead

Can you reserve a table for me?

👥

Native insight

中文里“帮我订一桌”很容易让人忽略英文介词结构,结果把宾语位置放错。

We are three people.

Say instead

There are three of us.

📍

Native insight

中文里人数表达可以直接说“我们三个人”,学习者常按这个顺序直译成英语。

At 7 clock.

Say instead

At 7 o'clock.

💬

Native insight

中文的“7点”很简单,但英语里时间表达有固定搭配,容易漏掉或误用。

Quick Recap

Keep these points in mind before you start.

Key Takeaways

I'd like to...

最实用的礼貌开场句型,适合说“我想订位”“我想改时间”等请求。比直接说 “I want...” 更自然。

👥

用来说明人数的自然说法。订位时比 “two people” 更像母语者会说的话。

询问某个时间是否有空位的常用句型,电话订位或在线聊天都很实用。
