Paying for the Bill 付帳
Paying for the bill is always a touchy issue. This is especially confusing when you are dealing with someone from a different culture. Here are several different situations to help you figure out who is paying.
付帳一直是一個(gè)敏感的話題。如果對(duì)方有著不同的文化，情況就更復(fù)雜了。下面的場(chǎng)景會(huì)告訴你究竟誰(shuí)應(yīng)該付帳。
1) You are taking a girl out that you like. In this situation, you should be prepared to pay for the bill. Sometimes the girl will insist on paying for half. In this case you need to be careful. If she is very insistent, you should let her pay, but if she only suggest once or twice you should pay.
約一個(gè)你喜歡的女孩出去。 在這種情況下你應(yīng)該做好付帳的準(zhǔn)備。有時(shí)女孩兒會(huì)堅(jiān)持付一半。這時(shí)你需要小心一點(diǎn)，如果她一味堅(jiān)持就讓她來(lái)付，如果她只是建議一兩次，就由你來(lái)付。
2) Going out with a friend or colleague. In this situation you are probably going to split the bill. However, if he says," Let me take you out...", "It's on me", "It's my treat", "Let me get it", or "I'll pick up the tab", these all mean that your friend will pay for the bill. If you agree on who is going to pay for the bill before the meal, you can still offer to pay at the end, but you should only offer once or twice and let him pay if he insists.
與朋友或同事外出 在這種情形下你們可能要平分帳單。但是，如果他說(shuō)：“我?guī)愠鋈?..”、“帳單算我的”、“我請(qǐng)客”、或“我來(lái)結(jié)帳”， 這就意味著你的朋友要付帳。如果你們?cè)陲埱耙焉塘亢谜l(shuí)付帳，你仍然可以在飯后提出付帳，但如果對(duì)方堅(jiān)持的話你只要提出一兩次就可以了。
3) In case you are short on money, you should tell the person that you are going out to eat, and that you will need to borrow money before you go out to eat. Never assume that they will pay.
如果你錢不夠，這種情況下，你應(yīng)該告訴對(duì)方你要跟著出去吃飯，你需要在出去之前借點(diǎn)兒錢。別想著別人會(huì)付帳。
4) If someone tells you that they want to treat you before the meal, then you should allow them to pay without arguing too much. But, if they say it after the meal, then you can be more insistent and can decide for yourself, if you want to let them pay or not.
如果有人在吃飯前定好說(shuō)想請(qǐng)你，那你應(yīng)該由對(duì)方付帳不必爭(zhēng)執(zhí)。但是，如果他們?cè)陲埡蟾阏f(shuō)要請(qǐng)你，你就要更堅(jiān)持一點(diǎn)，自己來(lái)決定是否由他們付帳。
