对话节选

先看看这个场景说了什么

  1. 对话 1

    You look like you're doing math in your head. Is this about the tip line on the receipt?

    你看起来像是在心算。是在想收据上的小费那一栏吗?

    中文提示

    Yes, I'm still not used to it. The service was good, but I'm not sure how much I'm supposed to tip normally.

    对,我还是不太习惯。服务不错,但我不确定正常要给多少小费。

  2. 对话 2

    For a sit-down meal like this, people often think around twenty percent is standard if the service was solid.

    像这种坐下来吃的餐,如果服务不错,大家通常会觉得百分之二十左右算标准。

    中文提示

    That's a bit higher than I expected, but having a rough range makes it easier.

    这比我原来想的高一点,不过知道大概范围就好办了。

  3. 对话 3

    For coffee counters or takeout, it's more flexible. You can add a dollar or skip it without making a scene.

    咖啡柜台或者外带就灵活一些。你可以加一美元,也可以不给,一般不会显得奇怪。

    中文提示

    That clears it up. When I see the screen prompt, I always feel awkward choosing nothing.

    这就清楚多了。每次我看到屏幕提示,总觉得选什么也不给会很尴尬。
