关于中国的“AA制”,其渊源众说纷纭,据维基记载,“AA”非舶来品,大概是中华的独创。“AA制”在国外,英美人习惯上叫“Dutch treat”。看来,源于17世纪那场“英荷战争”,荷兰人真的要永留英国“史册”了。
If a friend and I go out to eat, we might “go Dutch,” meaning we may each pay for our individual portion of the bill.如果是想担负大型聚会的一部分。
来看看美国俚语词典上对“go Dutch”的解释:If a friend and I go out to eat, we might “go Dutch,” meaning we may each pay for our individual portion of the bill.这个短语表达了荷兰人重视“公平”,而不是抢着买单以换取所谓的面子。
