來自美國華盛頓特區(qū)的Nathan為我們講解《在美國如何給小費》

Tipping in America is actually not that complicated. When you go to a restaurant and you sit down to eat and you have a waiter that serves you, you usually leave around 15-20% of the total bill. So if it’s a 100 dollar bill, you will, er check, you will leave around 15 to 20 dollars in tip.
在美國給小費其實沒有這么復(fù)雜，當(dāng)你去到餐廳，坐下來用餐，有人給你服務(wù)，你可以留給服務(wù)員15-20%的小費。如果是一百元的賬單，你要留15-20元的小費。

Now in taxi drivers, it’s a whole different story. Now you might give, you know 10%, it depends how far you go, if you only go for a little bit you’ll give…like if you go for a 10 dollar trip, you might give 5 dollars. You know, it just depends on how well the service is.
如果是打車，則是截然不同的。你必須給大約10%，要看你去多遠(yuǎn)的地方，如果你去很近的地方，譬如說你打了10元車，你必須要給到5元，當(dāng)然還是得看他的服務(wù)好不好。

And also, the important thing is you don’t have to tip if they don’t treat you well so if they treat you rudely or just poor service, you can reflect it in your tip, like I’ve left a 5% tip or a 1% tip to make a point if a server is really bad.
還有，最重要的事如果你沒有得到很好的服務(wù)，你是可以反應(yīng)在你的小費上。就像為了表明不滿意服務(wù)，我曾經(jīng)就留下5%到1%的小費。
