An important question about eating out that we had better discuss right now,at the beginning,is who pays for the meal.If a friend of yours suggests you have lunch with him ,you might simply say something like this,"I 'm afraid it'll have to be some place inexpensive,as I have very little money."
关于饮食的一个重要问题是,我们最好现在就开始讨论,是谁来付钱,如果你的一个朋友建议你和他一起吃午饭,你可能会说这样的话,“我怕它会便宜一些,因为我没有钱。”
The other person may say,"OK,I will meet you at McDonald's."This means it is agreed that the two will go Dutch,that is , each person pays for himself.He may also say,"Oh,no.I want to take you to lunch at Johnson's ",or "I want you to try the steak there. It's great."This means the person intends to pay the bill for both of you . If you feel friendly towards this person,there is no reason why you shouldn't accept this invitation.You may simply say."Thank you.That would be very nice."
其他人可能会说,“好吧,我会满足你在麦当劳”,这意味着它是同意两个会荷兰语,即每个人支付自己。他还说,“哦,我想带你去看约翰逊的“午餐,或“我想你试试那里的牛肉。这是伟大的。”这就意味着他打算支付你的账单。如果你对这个人友好,没有理由不接受这个邀请,你可以简单地说:“谢谢你,那太好了。”
