千万别把“发票”翻译成invoice！否则误会大了...
<p>昨天有读者爆料了微信的一个有趣这位读者用的是英文版微信，她发现她个人资料里最下面一行是“<span word="My">My</span> <span word="Fapiao">Fapiao</span> <span word="Title">Title</span>”。</p><p>我自己尝试了一下，如果你要让这一栏出现，你需要这样做：</p><p>1 使用微信官方的一款小程序：“微信发票助手”。</p><p>2 在该小程序中添加公司抬头和税号之后，就会在个人资料页面最下方出现“我的发票抬头”这一行：</p><p>3 如果你使用的是英文版微信，那么你就会看到开头所示的英文：</p><p><span word="My">My</span> <span word="Fapiao">Fapiao</span> <span word="titles">titles</span></p><p>我相信看到这里，很多人都会觉得很奇怪：为啥微信要把“发票”先别急着嘲笑微信，这么大一公司，不可能在这款正式的商务小程序上玩沙雕，这样，我们先看看我们熟悉的<span word="invoice">invoice</span>的含义：</p><p> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="list">list</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="goods">goods</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="been">been</span> <span word="sold">sold</span>, <span word="work">work</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="been">been</span> <span word="done">done</span>, <span word="etc">etc</span>., <span word="showing">showing</span> <span word="what">what</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="must">must</span> <span word="pay">pay</span></p><p>译：卖出去的货品或已提供的服务的费用清单。</p><p>来看词典中提供的两个例子：</p><p>1 <span word="to">to</span> <span word="send">send</span>/<span word="issue">issue</span>/<span word="settle">settle</span> <span word="an">an</span> <span word="invoice">invoice</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="goods">goods</span></p><p>译：送出╱开具╱结清费用清单</p><p>2 <span word="an">an</span> <span word="invoice">invoice</span> <span word="for">for</span>￡250</p><p>译：一张250英镑的发票</p><p>词典还给出了<span word="invoice">invoice</span>的同义词：<span word="bill">bill</span>，餐厅吃完饭服务员递上来的账单就叫<span word="bill">bill</span>。</p><p>所以<span word="invoice">invoice</span>的本质就是费用清单，老外给你开了一张<span word="invoice">invoice</span>而你在中国拿到一张发票，就意味着你已经付完款了，发票就是付款凭证。</p>
