You'll find restaurants for every situation in the United States. If you're in a hurry, you may just want to grab some "junk food" at a grocery store, or you can get a bite to eat at one of the many fast food chains, like McDonald's, Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, or Taco Bell. Or you can get a hero or submarinesandwich "to stay" or "to go" from a sandwich shop or deli.

　　在美国，你可以找到任何一种餐馆。你若来去匆匆，可以去食品店随手买些“方便食品”，也可以从麦当劳、汉堡王、肯德基炸鸡店、“必胜客”比萨饼屋，或玉米卷这些快餐连锁店中挑上一家，买些食物权且充饥。你还可以上三明治店或熟食店买一块“英雄”型或“潜水艇”型的大三明治，你可以“堂吃”，也可以“外卖”。

　　Some of these places have tables, but many don't. People eat in their cars or take their food home, to their offices or to parks. If you prefer sitting down but still don't want to spend much, you can try a cafeteria. At all of these places, you pick and choose your own food and then pay at a cash register, but you usually have to clear the table when you finish!

　　这类快餐店有的甚至连餐桌都没有，人们买了一份快餐后，有的拿到自己的车里去吃，有的拿回自己的家里去吃，也有的拿到办公室或公园里去吃。如果你既想坐在餐桌边上吃，同时又不愿多破费，那么你可以去自助餐厅。在那里，你可以先挑选自己喜欢的食物，然后到账台付钱。不过通常用完餐后，你得把自己的餐盘从餐桌上端走。
