Lesson: 课文Paying for the Bill 付帐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.付帐一直是一个敏感的话题。
如果对方有着不同的文化，情况就更复杂了。
下面的场景会告诉你究竟谁应该付帐。
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.约一个你喜欢的女孩出去。
在这种情况下你应该做好付帐的准备。
有时女孩儿会坚持付一半。
这时你需要小心一点，如果她一味坚持就让她来付，如果她只是建议一两次，就由你来付。
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.与朋友或同事外出在这种情形下你们可能要平分帐单。
