“请客”怎么说（通讯员稿）
<p>“请客”怎么说</p><p>北方人多半是热情大方的。同学聚会的时候人人都嚷着"我请客"，抢着付账。那么，这个"请客"用英语该怎么说呢？耐心看下去，就会发现答案了。 1. <span word="It">It</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="me">me</span>. 这句话的意思就是"我请客"。如果<span word="Waiter">Waiter</span>送一些免费的小菜，他会说：<span word="It">It</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="house">house</span>. 店老板请客，意思就是"免费赠送"。 还记得在电影<span word="Duplex">Duplex</span>中，<span word="Alex">Alex</span> 问<span word="Starbucks">Starbucks</span>里的女店员能不能让他在店里写完那本书，女店员就说到：<span word="Be">Be</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="guest">guest</span>. 意思就是"别客气"。<span word="Be">Be</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="guest">guest</span>. 也可以用来表示"我请客"。 2. <span word="It">It</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="treat">treat</span>. 见了<span word="treat">treat</span>，别以为它只有"对待"的意思，它还可以表示"款待、招待"，比如你和别人打赌，输了之后，<span word="You">You</span> <span word="had">had</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="treat">treat</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="an">an</span> <span word="ice">ice</span> <span word="cream">cream</span>. 你不得不请她吃冰淇淋。不过款待人，也不一定总是要"吃吃喝喝"，也可以来点高雅的，比如说<span word="I">I</span>'<span word="ll">ll</span> <span word="treat">treat</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="little">little</span> <span word="piano">piano</span> <span word="specialty">specialty</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="own">own</span>. 我要请大家听一首我特地自谱的钢琴曲，这种招待客人的方式还真是够水平的。当然<span word="treat">treat</span>还有"名词"的身份，表示"请客、做东"，所以如果你想表示"我做东，我请客"，就拍拍胸脯说：<span word="It">It</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="treat">treat</span>. 或是<span word="I">I</span> <span word="want">want</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="treat">treat</span> <span word="you">you</span>. 3. <span word="Let">Let</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="foot">foot</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="bill">bill</span>. 这里的<span word="foot">foot</span>真是和"英尺"、"脚"没有任何关系了，在老外的口头语中，<span word="foot">foot</span>可以做动词，表示"支付帐单或费用"，就相当于<span word="Let">Let</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="pay">pay</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="bill">bill</span>.
