給小費(fèi)
對(duì)話場(chǎng)景
Elvin下周要去美國(guó),聽(tīng)說(shuō)美國(guó)是個(gè)小費(fèi)國(guó)家,于是問(wèn)David一些關(guān)于小費(fèi)的問(wèn)題。
Elvin is going to America next week. So,he asked David some questions about tipping.
Elvin:David, do you have a minute?
(David,你有時(shí)間嗎?)
David:Sure. What's up?
(有啊,怎么啦?)
Elvin:I'm going to the States next week. I've been meaning to ask you about tipping.
(我下周要去美國(guó)。我想問(wèn)問(wèn)你關(guān)于小費(fèi)的一些問(wèn)題。)
David:Well, you should always tip if you go to restaurants. Unless you're going to fast food chains.
(哦,如果你去餐廳的話,肯定要給小費(fèi),除非是去連鎖快餐店。)
Elvin:How much should I tip?
(那要給多少呢?)
David:That depends on the type of restaurants you go to. But usually 15 percent. You might need to tip more if you are at a really fancy place. Oh, make sure you don't tip with coins. It's considered rude.
(這要看你去的是哪一類(lèi)餐廳了。一般來(lái)說(shuō)嘛,15%。如果是特別高級(jí)的餐廳。那就要多給一點(diǎn)了。還有,別用硬幣當(dāng)小費(fèi)。會(huì)給人不禮貌的感覺(jué)。)
Elvin:Ok. What about taxi drivers? Do I need to tip them?
(知道了。哎,那出租司機(jī)呢?要給他們小費(fèi)嗎?)
David:Usually if it's small change, you just let them keep it. But you don't need to give them extra tips.
(一般來(lái)說(shuō),如果找零很少的話,你就給他們,不用找了。不過(guò)也不用給額外的小費(fèi)。)
Elvin:Ok. That's good to know. Thanks for your help!
(好。我知道了。謝謝你幫忙啊!)
David:No worries. Anytime. Have a great trip!
(沒(méi)關(guān)系。隨時(shí)來(lái)問(wèn)。旅途愉快!)
