wanna 可以直接加动词。类似更加口语的词如:got to do sth=gotta kind of=kinda
go with在点餐中是非常实用的说法,也相当于take,表示选择,接受。
to-go就是打包带走的意思,可以直接说几份几份带走,就是one to-go, two to-go.

Thank you ,but I'm just looking. 谢谢,可我只是看看。
just [dʒʌst] adj. 正直的, 正确的, 合理的 adv. 刚刚, 仅仅, 正好
注: 如果真的被狠宰了一下,你当然还可以说,“I was ripped off。”或者“I was cleaned out。”第二句,有被骗得很惨的意思。
