得來速點餐

北美許多地方地廣人稀，日常生活常常需要以汽車代步，因此得來速窗口(Drive Through)在北美是很常見的點餐方式。

有趣的是，各種車道駕駛窗口服務不是只有速食連鎖店才有，美國有一些銀行也提供得來速窗口服務，可以想像跑銀行時不用離開駕駛座就能方便的辦完事情嗎？

今年因為疫情的影響，歐美許多餐廳沒辦法讓客人內用，原本就很受歡迎的得來速、外送服務業績因此大大翻倍。這也拯救了一些原本因為疫情而要被迫關店的小餐廳和咖啡廳，讓他們可以靠外送、得來速服務繼續維持生意。

★得來速點餐英文可以這樣說：

I'd like two cheeseburgers to go.
我要兩個起司漢堡外帶。

Can I replace the fries with onion rings?
我可以把薯條換成洋蔥圈嗎？

No lettuce in my sandwich, please.
我的三明治不要萵苣。

Can I have extra mayonnaise on it?
可以多給我一點美乃滋嗎？

Is your family size meal big enough for four adults?
你們的家庭號夠四個大人吃嗎？

★店員確認餐點可能會問：

Would you like to upgrade your meal to the large size?
您要改成大號餐嗎？

Would you like to go for the meal deal?
你要點套餐嗎？

How many pieces of chicken nuggets would you like?
您要幾塊雞塊？

Would you like sugar and cream with your coffee?
您的咖啡要加糖和奶精嗎？

英國皇室──留存至今的君主制 England's Royal Family: A Monarchy in the Modern Age

The United Kingdom has the most well-known royal family in the world. Right now, the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland) has a queen, Queen Elizabeth II. Although the royal family does not hold political power, they represent British culture and history. During Queen Elizabeth's rule, which began in 1952, she has been admired for her dedication to her royal duties and to the British people. Her son, Prince Charles, is next in line for the throne.

As the future king, Prince Charles has been in the public eye almost as much as the queen. When he married Lady Diana Spencer in 1981, people around the world watched the wedding. Princess Diana, as she became known, was admired for her style and beauty. More notably, she brought attention to problems around the world, including landmines, AIDS, and leprosy. Her work to help others led to her nickname, the People's Princess. After her divorce from Prince Charles, she died in a car accident in 1997. People around the world mourned the death of the beloved People's Princess.

Some British people feel that the royal family is obsolete, since its members no longer hold any political power. But there are also those who still adore the royals. Diana and Charles's sons, William and Harry, are known for having their mother's warmth and humanity. Prince William, the oldest and second in line to the throne, married a woman who is not from a noble family, Kate Middleton. Both William and Kate are known for being hands-on parents to their three children. Their eldest son, Prince George, will be king one day. Prince Harry also married a regular person, an American named Meghan Markle. William and Harry are following in their mother's footsteps to make the royal family relatable to ordinary people.

英國擁有全球聞名遐邇的皇室家族。現今，英國（由英格蘭、蘇格蘭、威爾斯和北愛爾蘭組成）的君主是伊莉莎白二世女王。雖然皇室家族並不握有實質政權，但他們代表了英倫文化與歷史。伊莉莎白女王自1952 年開始執政後，她對自己皇室職責與英國人民的奉獻，一向令人敬佩。而她的兒子查爾斯王子是下一個王位繼承人。

身為未來國王的查爾斯王子，受到萬眾囑目的程度不亞於女王。1981 年他與黛安娜．史賓瑟女爵結縭時，全球都在觀看這場世紀婚禮。黛安娜王妃，或大家熟知的黛妃，因其處事作風與美貌而令人仰慕，尤其是她讓大家注意到世界各地的問題，包括地雷、愛滋病與痲瘋病等。黛妃援助他人所做的奉獻讓她擁有「全民王妃」的別稱。黛妃與查爾斯王子離婚後，於1997 年的一場車禍中香消玉殞。全世界均哀悼這位備受愛戴的全民王妃之逝世。

有些英國人認為皇室家族沒有存在的必要，因為皇室成員不再掌有任何政權；但也有人民仍然崇敬皇室。威廉和哈利是黛安娜與查爾斯之子，均以繼承母親和藹親民的性格聞名。身兼長子與第二順位繼承人身分的威廉王子，迎娶了非貴族出身的凱特．米道頓。威廉和凱特在教養三個孩子方面均親力親為。他們的長子喬治王子，有朝一日也會繼承王位。哈利王子的妻子亦為平民，也就是來自美國的梅根．馬克爾。威廉王子和哈利王子都追隨其母的腳步，態度親民，引起一般民眾對皇室的認同感。

•除了汽車和公寓家電也可以共享

•洪蘭：時常正面提醒養成良好品格
品格養成除了父母的教誨、宗教的信仰之外，還需要時時提醒。因為人是健忘的，也是投機的，要暗室不欺心是少數聖人才能做到，但人性本善，一旦良知被喚醒了，善良就戰勝了邪惡。
