9-16 Tip 小费也有小讲究

作者: 晒着太阳睡大觉 | 来源:发表于2018-09-16 22:27 被阅读0次

    今天的主题是TIP

    首先是文章

    A:Wow. That's was one of the best steaks I've had in a while.

    (in a while 这里是很久的意思  但我上网查了查 很多都是表示非常短暂的时间

    LIKE:He comes to our room for a chat every once in a while  希望得到大家指点)

    B: Oh yeap. It looked delictable. Shall we get the bill?

    (在get the bill 这里同样也有很多付款的用法

    delictable  get到了个新词 秀色可餐)

    A: Sure, but I'don't know how much to tip. It's such a headache.

    B: Well, acceptable gratuity at sit-down restaurants has increased a lot, so now it's basically fifteen to twenty percent.

    ( gratuity 正式的小费用语 有意思的是它的变形

    gratuitous 指的是无偿,不必要的 意思

    LIKE: I felt that the violence in the film was more gratuitous than necessary.)

    A: So, if i really liked my meal, I should tip more?

    B: Not just the meal, but the experience in general. Judging by your meal and the good service, I'd say eighteen percent would be good.

    ( not just ....but 的用法 不仅.....而且

    Judging by    I‘d 这个d不发音)

    A: That's such a big chunk of the menu price. Servers must make a killing on tips.

    ( big chunk of  一大部分

    make  a killing 这个用法还是很新奇的 意思是大赚一笔

    同样make a living 谋求生计 

    很多有关金钱的词 赚、挣这些多用earn

    但类似make a killing 只能用make)

    B:Well, it is a big proportion of their income, but they don't get benefits and their wages alone aren't enough to make ends meet. Tipping supplements their wages so they can make a living.

    (body proportion 身材比例

    wages alone 单凭工资      make ends meet 捉襟见肘的维持生计)

    A:Got it. Where else do I need to tip?

    B: If someone performs a service, like taxi drivers or hair stylists do, it's best to tip. Or, if your barista goes out of their way to make a fancy drink, you can give a little tip, too.

    ( go out of one's way  不厌其烦地   这里是特意的意思  用法还蛮特别

    stylist  发型师 改天写一篇专门有关理发的文章 在这挖坑先)

    A: Ah ok. It's such a complicated system.

    B: It's not really a system, just an outdated tradition.

    (outdated 或者用 out of date 表示过时的)

    A: I see. Oh, our server's coming with the machine.

    这一篇到这里就结束了
