你也曾有过“邻桌嫉妒”吗？

　　焦急地等待自己点的菜上来的过程中，服务员却拿着一盘色香味俱全的美味菜肴走向了……旁边那桌！你火辣辣的目光也不能改变你没有点到好菜的事实，这就是dish envy(邻桌嫉妒)。

　　Dish envy is the sudden, intense longing and regret derived from watching a particularly appetizing dish being delivered to a nearby table, and realizing that one has made an inferior menu selection。
　　“邻桌嫉妒”就是看到一盘特别美味的菜肴被服务员端到旁边一桌而无比垂涎，同时不无后悔地意识到自己并没有点到好菜。
　　When we go to a new restaurant we are not familiar with, we always choose to order food we are interested in instead of those that are more delicious, which more often are delivered to a nearby table. A better solution would be to study the restaurant before going to it, checking out the popular dishes in order to avoid “dish envy”。
　　来到一家不熟悉的新餐厅，我们一般会点自己感兴趣的菜，而不是那些最美味的菜，而这些美味常常在邻桌和你“相见恨晚”。较好的应对之道是，在去那家餐厅之前做足功课，看看哪些菜肴人气最高，这样就不会出现“邻桌嫉妒” 啦。
