在外就餐問孩子吃啥，他們說“我不知道”、“我不在乎”，真等菜端上桌子，他們又說“我不想吃那個(gè)”……帶孩子外出就餐的父母遇到這種情況難免抓狂。一家餐廳幫家長們解決了這個(gè)難題，把孩子的牢騷話翻譯成菜名，以后再也不用擔(dān)心不會給孩子點(diǎn)餐了！

Anyone with children, or young relatives, will know that dining out with little ones can be a frustrating experience.

If they're not running around the entire restaurant or asking to go to the toilet as soon as the food arrives, then they're throwing a tantrum or refusing to eat their meal.
他們?nèi)绻麤]在滿餐館亂跑或是食物一上來就要去洗手間，那么就在發(fā)脾氣或拒絕吃飯。

美國馬里蘭州的一家餐館創(chuàng)造出了一種滑稽而十分有用的兒童菜單。因?yàn)樵摬藛伟阎T如“我不知道我想吃什么”和“我不餓”這樣的常用語句翻譯成了可以給他們點(diǎn)的菜，所以所有家長都能理解。

From fries for when they say 'I don't want that,' to a grilled peanut butter sandwich for when they say they don't 'care' what they eat, the menu is a godsend for any parent of fussy eaters who know what a struggle mealtimes can be.
當(dāng)孩子說“我不想吃那個(gè)”時(shí)就給他點(diǎn)炸薯?xiàng)l，如果他說對吃什么“無所謂”就點(diǎn)烤花生醬三明治…這個(gè)菜單是任何挑剔孩子的父母的救星，他們知道和這些孩子出去吃飯有多難。

這個(gè)滑稽有趣的菜單出自位于大洋城的費(fèi)格島餐廳，菜單的照片被上傳到Reddit網(wǎng)站上。

在菜單中“適用于孩子”的部分，菜都用挑剔的孩子在吃飯時(shí)常說的話命名，菜單極具創(chuàng)意。

The idea is that parents can translate what their child says into a meal you can order for them at the restaurant.
這樣一來，在餐館吃飯時(shí)父母就可以把孩子說的話翻譯成可以為他們點(diǎn)的餐。

例如，如果家長問孩子“你想吃什么？”，孩子回答 “我不知道”，家長就被建議點(diǎn)一份2.5美元的三層花生醬和果醬三明治。

If they say they 'don't care,' the menu translates this grumpy phrase into a $3.50 Grilled Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwich.
如果他們帶著點(diǎn)兒怒氣說“無所謂”，家長就會按照菜單點(diǎn)一份3.5美元的烤花生醬和香蕉三明治。

The response, 'I'm not hungry,' will result in the child being ordered a $7 basket of Chicken Tenders.
回答“我不餓”，孩子就會得到一份7美元的嫩雞肉。

And if the youngster replies to a parent's meal suggestion with 'I don't want that,' the restaurant advises them order the little one some $3.50 Kids' Fries.
如果小孩對于家長的點(diǎn)餐建議回答“我不想吃那個(gè)”，餐廳建議家長為他們點(diǎn)一些3.5美元的兒童薯?xiàng)l。

One father commented on the picture on Reddit, and said: 'As a dad this is on the money. Good stuff.'

Though one cheeky user joked that the section should be renamed 'Girlfriend Friendles' instead of Kid Friendlies.
然而一名調(diào)皮的用戶開玩笑說，菜單的這一部分不應(yīng)叫作“適用于孩子”，而是應(yīng)該改為“適用于女朋友”。
