在餐馆结束用餐
给小费
在美国,用餐者应留总额的 15% 到 20% 给服务员,这称为 tip。如用信用卡支付,通常账单上会有小费一栏。如用现金支付,你应留下用餐费和多余的钱。
A: How big a tip should we leave?
B: The service was really good, so let's leave 20%.
我们该留多少小费?
服务很棒,那么我们给 20% 的小费。
食物打包
在美国,用餐者常常将吃剩的食物带回家。服务员可能问您是否要打包带回家,您也可以问服务员可不可以打包。
to go 可指你在餐馆吃剩下、想带回家的食物,也指你没坐下来直接带走的外卖食物。
Waiter: Would you like to take that home with you?
Customer: Yes, I would. Thanks!
您想把这带回家吗?
是的,我要带走。谢谢!
Customer: I'd like the rest of my steak to go.
Waiter: No problem. I'll bring it back in just a minute.
