tip or not to tip
给小费
对话场景
Elvin下周要去美国，听说美国是个小费国家，于是问David一些关于小费的问题。
Elvin is going to America next week. So，he asked David some questions about tipping.
Elvin：David, do you have a minute?
（David，你有时间吗？）
David：Sure. What's up?
（有啊，怎么啦？）
Elvin：I'm going to the States next week. I've been meaning to ask you about tipping.
（我下周要去美国。我想问问你关于小费的一些问题。）
David：Well, you should always tip if you go to restaurants. Unless you're going to fast food chains.
（哦，如果你去餐厅的话，肯定要给小费，除非是去连锁快餐店。）
Elvin：How much should I tip?
（那要给多少呢？）
David：That depends on the type of restaurants you go to. But usually 15 percent. You might need to tip more if you are at a really fancy place. Oh, make sure you don't tip with coins. It's considered rude.
（这要看你去的是哪一类餐厅了。一般来说嘛，15%。如果是特别高级的餐厅。那就要多给一点了。还有，别用硬币当小费。会给人不礼貌的感觉。）
Elvin：Ok. What about taxi drivers? Do I need to tip them?
（知道了。哎，那出租司机呢？要给他们小费吗？）
David：Usually if it's small change, you just let them keep it. But you don't need to give them extra tips.
（一般来说，如果找零很少的话，你就给他们，不用找了。不过也不用给额外的小费。）
Elvin：Ok. That's good to know. Thanks for your help!
（好。我知道了。谢谢你帮忙啊！）
David：No worries. Anytime. Have a great trip!
（没关系。随时来问。旅途愉快！）
