给小费英语怎么说(进阶)
服务不错该给多少小费?
完整台词
Lin
Hey, what's a normal tip here for pretty good service?嘿,这里服务还不错的话,一般给多少小费?
对方
If everything's solid, I'd usually leave around eighteen to twenty percent.如果都挺满意,我一般会给18%到20%。
Lin
Got it—so not fifteen, unless I want to look weirdly cheap?明白了——所以不是15%,除非我想显得有点抠?
对方
Pretty much. Fifteen says, 'nothing was wrong, but I counted every fry.'差不多。给15%像在说:“没出错,但我连薯条都算过了。”
Lin
Okay, and do people figure it on the pre-tax total, or the whole thing?好,那大家是按税前总额算,还是按整单算?
对方
Either flies, honestly, but most folks don't split hairs over a couple bucks.其实都行,不过大多数人不会为那几块钱太较真。
Lin
Perfect. I'll do twenty and spare the table my public math struggle.太好了,我就给20%,免得我当众算半天。
对方
Smart move—nothing kills dinner faster than tip algebra beside a cooling steak.明智——吃饭时最扫兴的,就是牛排都快凉了你还在算小费。
