在美國待好一陣子了,付帳問題我還是常搞不清
明明只是同學/普通朋友,但偶有機會一起吃飯時,
男生就是容易豪爽的說「I'd like to buy you luch/dinner」
甚至有兩男一女(女的是我)一起吃飯的場合,兩男叫我不用付了。
(明明店員還跑來問我們需不需要分開結帳,但是其中一男就掏出卡說,
通通刷這裡就好,我說wait...I need to use debit card too. I don't have
enough cash...該男就說don't worry about it...we'd like to buy you dinner...)
之前類似的情形裡,如果我繼續這個話題,對方往往這樣收尾:
「All right...next time you muy me a cup of coffee/drink」
但是我總是沒有找到機會去買回這杯(我很膽怯,總覺得沒什麼特別的機緣去問人家
「你今天要喝咖啡了嗎」很彆扭)
註:我問過一個美國女人,美國女人含羞的表示,唉呀如果是約會就是男生付啊,或者
邀約的一方付。我問,那你們怎麼定義約會(date)?
她答,只要不是順便、一時興起去哪裡的邀約都算啊。
不過上面提及的例子就是跟約會無關啊。
