“我請客”與“AA制”

1、“我請客”與“AA制”和其他人一起出去吃飯時就會遇到到底誰付賬的問題：是請客呢還是AA制呢？今天我們來聊聊英語中關(guān)于請客和AA制的表達(dá)，下次和老外出去吃飯時就能用上啦！“請客”怎么說？A: Lets eat out, shall we?A: 咱出去吃吧？B: Im broke. Ive gone through my paycheck for the week already。B: 俺沒錢了，這禮拜的工資都花光了。A: Dont worry about it. Its my treat。A: 沒事啦，我請客。B: Youre sure? Youre so generous!B: 真的嗎？你好大

2、方呀！在這段對話里我們可以注意一下幾個表達(dá)： Im broke。Broke 作為形容詞可以理解成“破產(chǎn)的，一文不值的”，所以 Im broke. 就是指“我身無分文”。 go through我們知道go through有“經(jīng)歷”的意思，例如：We went through hell while working on this project。(做這個項(xiàng)目的過程中經(jīng)歷了煉獄般的考驗(yàn))；還能表示“詳細(xì)檢查”：go through the students papers(批改學(xué)生的試卷)。但在對話里它是表示“花光(錢)”。 Its my treat。說到今天的重點(diǎn)了，請客怎么說，這就是最常用的表達(dá)之

3、一。同樣常用的還有：I will treat you. / Its on me. 此外再給大家介紹一個比較少見的表達(dá)：Ill shout you. 它只用于英格蘭、澳大利亞和新西蘭，所以不要對美國朋友講喲來簡單看段對話：A: Do you want to go out for drinks tonight?B: No thanks, Ill pass. I dont have any money。A: Come on! Ill shout you!B: Shout me?A: Yeah! Its on me?；疽馑即蠹叶级税桑⒁庖幌缕渲械腎ll pass.是指“這回不去了”。“AA制”怎

4、么說？A: Thanks for inviting me out today. I was feeling kind of sad. Theres nothing better than grabbing a bite to eat with a good friend to make you feel better。A: 謝謝你邀請我出來。我正好有些情緒低落，沒啥比和好朋友出去吃點(diǎn)東西更能讓人振作起來的了。B: No problem. Its for your birthday, so its on me。B: 沒事。今天是你生日，所以我請客。A: Oh, I thought no one

5、remembered, but you dont have to treat me. We can go Dutch。A: 噢，我還以為沒人記得我生日呢。不過不用你請了啦，我們AA制吧。 to grab a bite to eat這個短語的意思是“匆忙地、簡單吃點(diǎn)什么”，和正式吃頓飯有很大不同。來看段對話幫助理解：A: I am hungry!B: So am I, but I only have an hour before my next class。A: Well, lets grab a bite to eat at that Chinese takeout (外賣)。 go Dutc

6、h嚴(yán)格說來“AA制”有2種：自己付自己吃飯用掉的錢；所有的錢大家平攤。前者的話在英語里就可以說：go Dutch / Dutch treat，例如：My boyfriend and I always go Dutch。(我和男友吃飯經(jīng)常是AA制)；The office outing is always a Dutch treat。(辦公室的同事一起出去吃飯往往會采用AA制)不過有時大家也不會把到底是平攤還是各付各的分那么清楚，所以在比較隨意的情況下，go Dutch / Dutch treat 也能指平攤。Split the bill，按照字面意思就知道它是指“平攤費(fèi)用”，例如：Shall we split the bill? 也可以簡單說：Well split. / Lets split. “平攤”還有個
