“分摊”最常用、最自然的说法：
Split the bill：分摊
怎么用?

除了分摊，还能分开结账：
Separate checks: 单独分开的账单
在美国，服务生看到一群人聚餐，会问你是否要"separate checks"; 但这也给饭店造成额外的工作，所以有些饭店会手续surcharge(额外费用);
有些会直接写出"No separate checks"
Who picks up the bill?

如果你召集，你要买单吗?
If you invite people or initiate the gathering：如果你邀请、召集聚会
看你怎么说：
"I'd like to invite you/take you out to dinner": 如果这样说，意思基本是你付钱
"Let's get together": 如果你说“我们聚一聚”，基本大家会分摊
