016~020 复习Let's go Dutch. 咱们各付各的吧!(非正式)Let's pay separately. 咱们各付各的吧!(正式)Let's split the bill. 咱们均摊吧!咱们AA吧!My treat. 我请客。This is my treat. 这次我请客。Can you spot me? 先帮我垫一下(钱)。Let's go. I'll buy you a drink. 走,我请你喝一杯!I'll buy you coffee. 我请你喝咖啡。The boss paid for your dinner. 晚餐的钱老板替你付了。Happens all the time. 常有的事。今天要学的是,如果有朋友邀约你,但是你时间不方便,要说“改天吧!”,来看一个对话:A: I'll take you out to dinner.B: I can't tonight, but I'll take a rain check.A: 我带你出去吃饭。B: 今晚不行,改天吧!先看A说,I'll take you out to dinner.take...out (to...) 带……出去(做……)dinner 用餐,吃饭请跟我读三遍。I'll take you out to dinner.B回答说,I can't tonight.I can't 我不行tonight 今晚说完“我今晚不行”如果结束了,感觉是不想和A去吃饭,人家之后也不约你。后面说,咱们改天去。这是虚指,没有说具体改到哪天,类似咱们说的“再约”。这是一个俚语的表达 rain check。but I'll take a rain check.but 但是,表示转折take 拿rain check 的 rain 是“下雨”,check 是“支票”,rain check 本意是指比赛因为下雨而取消,所以发给观众下次入场的延期证明(票根),或者是商店在减价时段特价品卖完时,发给顾客在有货时可以以相同优惠购买该商品的证明。后来引申出了“改天”,“延期招待”的意思。请跟我读三遍。I can't tonight, but I'll take a rain check.不能接受邀请时,直接说 I'll take a rain check.也可以。如果和对方非常非常熟悉,或者你当时手头很忙,没时间讲话,直接说 Rain check.也可以。英语说的长一点比较有礼貌,特别是拒绝对方时给对方一个理由。复习一下~A: I'll take you out to dinner.B: I can't tonight, but I'll take a rain check.
