对话原文
Lilly: Thank you so much for taking me out to dinner.
Martin: It's the least I could do. You've babysat so much for me recently.
Lilly: It was my pleasure. Your baby's such a doll.
Martin: I'm glad you two get along.
Lilly: Can I at least help you pay a little?
Martin: If you really want to, I guess you could pick up the tip.
Lilly: OK. How much should that be?
Martin: You don't tip in China?
Lilly: No, not at all, so I have no idea how much to pay.
Martin: In restaurants, fifteen percent of the bill is considered pretty standard.
Lilly: What if the service is really bad?
讲解:
1. 对话中,Martin请Lilly到一家餐馆吃饭。既然今天我们说的是小费问题,tip 这里作名词表示“小费”,比如说,I left a tip on the table. 我把小费放在桌子上了。
