Go Dutch 是什麼意思 Go Dutch 來源AA制英文怎麼說

Go Dutch 就是各自付帳、AA制的意思,怎麼說來去荷蘭是各自付帳呢?原來英國人原本是拿來嘲諷小氣的人。

Dutch是英國人在英文中用來暗諷荷蘭的語句,如

Dutch courage 膽小的人
Dutch defence 虛張聲勢
Dutch uncle 愛吹牛
Dutch wife 賤人

只要在英文中加入Dutch就變成了暗諷的字了,所以最好不要亂用.

If a friend and I go out to eat, we might "go dutch," meaning we may each pay for our individual portion of the bill

When I wanted to settle the bill, she insisted on going Dutch and pay for her meal.

就在我準備結帳時,她堅持一起付錢,並把自己吃的那一份給了我
