In China, friends usually take turns paying the food bill at restaurants; if a couple are on a date, the boy will traditionally pay the bill. In the United States, however, there are many different ways of handling who will pay when dining out. Among Americans, people are commonly known to go Dutch. That means when you eat out, you are expected only to pay for what you ordered and the tax and tip on what you ordered. If everyone eats about the same amount, you may simply choose to divide the bill by the number of people at the table. If some are more hungry or thirsty than others, you may ask to see the bill and have everyone calculate their individual totals. Sometimes, if you ask, the server may even be able to split the bill for you and give everyone individual receipts for their food. You can even request that some of the bill be paid by credit card and the rest be paid in cash. When you are on a date, however, things may be a little more complicated. The boy may not always pay, especially if the girl invited the boy out to the restaurant. Sometimes, the boy may try to pay for both, but the girl will insist on paying her half. Other times, the boy may be expected to pay for the entire meal. In these situations, please be sure to bring some money on you just in case you are stuck with all, if not part, of the bill.
<参考译文> 在中国, 朋友之间一起聚餐通常喜欢轮流付账. 如果一对年轻人一起约会, 男孩子通常要付账. 然而, 在美国, 在外面吃饭谁来付账通常有很多种方式. 美国人通常还是喜欢AA制. 就是说, 当你在外面吃饭的时候, 你只需要付你自己的账, 自己的餐费, 税, 消费. 如果大家叫的东西一样多, 那么就可以平分账单. 如果有人消费的多一些, 你也可以要一下账单, 看看每个人的餐费总数. 有时, 如果你要求看账单的话, 服务员通常就会把你的账单分好, 给每个人自己的那一份. 你也可以要求一部分用信用卡付账, 一部分用现金来付. 但是, 当年轻人约会的时候, 情况就复杂一点. 男孩子不是总付账, 特别是当女孩子邀请男孩子的时候. 有时, 男孩子想给两个人付账, 女孩子却坚持给自己付账. 也有些时候, 最好是男孩子付两个人的账. 在这些情况下, 请记得带足够的钱, 防备万一你要付全部而不是一部分的账单.
