I'd like to... “我想...”,例如,I'd like to eat hamburgers.(我想吃汉堡。)
breakfast 早餐;lunch 午餐;supper 晚餐,dinner 也指晚餐,但dinner一般指较正式的、丰富的晚餐。

sir “先生”;madam “女士”,常用的就是Yes, sir. 和Yes, madam.
What will you have?“您要什么?”或“你要吃什么?”
A:Buttered toast, fresh ham and a cup of black tea.
Buttered toast “奶油吐司”,其中的“buttered”意思是“涂了奶油的”,去掉ed为butter,是“奶油,黄油”的意思。
fresh ham“鲜火腿”,fresh“新鲜的”,常见的用法有:fresh air“新鲜空气”,fresh fruits “新鲜水果”。
a cup of... “一杯...”,例如,a cup of coffee:一杯咖啡,如果是两杯咖啡,就是“two cups of coffee”,注意量词和名词复数的变化。

“能为你做什么吗?”除了可以用Is there anything I can do for you? 之外,还可以用“What can I do for you?”
A: Please bring my breakfast at seven o'clock.
bring“带来,拿来”,带某物给某人可以说:“bring 某物 to 某人”或者“bring 某人+某物”,例如“带一个苹果给Tim”可以说成“bring an apple to Tim”或者“bring Tim an apple”。
