If you eat or sit alfresco, you do it outside, in the open air — at a garden table, on a terrace, or on the pavement in front of a café.

If如果 you eat or sit alfresco你在戶外用餐或坐著, you do it outside就是在外面, in the open air在露天下 — at a garden table花園的桌子旁, on a terrace露台上, or或 on the pavement in front of a café咖啡廳前的人行道上.

English borrowed the word from Italian, and it still sounds a little stylish: you meet it on restaurant signs and in holiday writing more than in ordinary chat. People use it mainly about eating and drinking, though you can also sit alfresco.

English英文 borrowed the word從義大利文借來這個字 from Italian, and而且 it still sounds a little stylish聽起來還是有點時髦: you你 meet it比較會在 on restaurant signs餐廳招牌 and in holiday writing和度假文章裡看到它 more than in ordinary chat而不是日常聊天. People人們 use it mainly主要用 about eating and drinking在吃喝這件事上, though不過 you can also sit alfresco也可以說坐在戶外.

It does not mean the food itself is fresh; it only tells you where you are. Though actually, in Italian it first meant 'in the cool' — outside was the cool place to sit in hot weather — and English kept the outdoor sense, not the temperature sense.

It它 does not mean the food itself is fresh不是說食物本身很新鮮; it它 only tells you where you are只是告訴你你人在哪裡. Though actually不過其實, in Italian在義大利文裡 it它 first meant 'in the cool'原本的意思是「在涼爽處」 — outside外面 was the cool place to sit in hot weather是天熱時坐著涼快的地方 — and而 English英文 kept the outdoor sense保留了戶外這個意思, not the temperature sense而不是涼爽這個意思.
