中西方请客吃饭比较（中英文对照）

A friend asks me “Why Chinese don’t go Dutch?” So I want to regard this question as the topic and write an article. As everyone knows, Occidental will go Dutch while having a meal in the restaurant. But Chinese don’t go Dutch. Chinese will pay the bill and check out generously. Occidental don’t often entertain guests; but Chinese often invite friend to dinner. A lot of Occidentals feel puzzled to this question.

一个朋友问我：“为什么中国人不是各付各的钱？”所以我要写一篇文章把这个问题作为关注的焦点。正像每个人都知道的那样，西方人在饭店吃饭往往都是AA制，而中国人却慷慨地把别人的也一起给付了。西方人不常款待客人，而中国人却经常邀请朋友吃饭。许多西方人对此感到困惑不解。
