dine and dash 吃霸王餐
「 吃霸王餐」又稱「白吃白喝」,是指在餐館吃完飯後不付錢就走人,這種享用完食物就溜走的行為,在英文口語中就可以用 dine and dash 來表示。看看以下對話吧:
A: Hey, did you see those people at the restaurant? They just dined and dashed!
B: Seriously? That’s so wrong. I hope the restaurant catches them.
A: Yeah, it’s really unfair to the paying customers.
B: Maybe we should tell the waiters.
甲:嘿,你看到餐廳裡的那些人了嗎?他們吃霸王餐!
乙:真的假的?那是很不正當的行為。我希望餐廳能抓到他們。
甲:是啊,這對有付費的客人來說很不公平。
乙:也許我們應該通知服務生。
