聚餐均攤你只點沙拉卻要付一樣多?這集教你 5 句拒絕均攤的英文,
從 Would it be okay if(婉轉請求)、I'd rather(我寧願)到 separate check(分開結帳),
優雅說出「我付我自己的就好」,不尷尬也不傷感情。聚餐、出遊、同事午餐都用得上。

情境對話 Dialogue
一群朋友吃完晚餐,Ryan 提議均攤,但 Karen 今晚只點了沙拉和水。

Ryan
Okay, the bill’s here — $240 total. Should we just split it evenly? That’s $40 each.
好,帳單來了——總共 240 美金。我們就均攤(split it evenly)吧?一個人 40 塊。

Karen
Hmm, would it be okay if I just covered what I had? I only got the salad and a water tonight.
嗯,可以讓我付我自己點的就好嗎?我今晚只點了沙拉和一杯水。

Ryan
Oh — yeah, of course. I didn’t even think about that. Sorry, I just defaulted to splitting it down the middle.
喔——對,當然可以。我根本沒想到。抱歉,我下意識就想對半均攤(split it down the middle)。

Karen
No worries at all! It’s just that everyone else had steak and cocktails, so an even split feels a little off for me.
完全沒關係!只是其他人都吃牛排配調酒,所以均攤對我來說有點不太對(feels off)。

Ryan
That’s totally fair. Let me see — your salad was $14 plus the water, so about $16 with tax?
完全合理。我看看——你的沙拉 14 塊加水,含稅大概 16 塊?

Karen
Sounds right. Honestly, I’d rather pay for my own than quietly overpay and feel weird about it.
應該沒錯。老實說,我寧願付我自己的(I’d rather),也不要默默多付然後心裡怪怪的。

Ryan
You’re not making it weird — you’re making it fair. Want me to ask for a separate check, or do you just want to Venmo me?
你沒有讓氣氛變怪——你是讓它變公平。要我請服務生分開結帳(separate check),還是你直接用 Venmo 轉我?

Karen
Venmo’s easier. I’ll send you $16 right now. Do you mind covering the tip on my part?
Venmo 比較方便。我現在轉你 16 塊。我那份的小費(tip)可以麻煩你先墊嗎?

Ryan
Don’t even worry about the tip — I’ve got it. It’s a couple of bucks.
小費別擔心——我來就好。才幾塊錢。

Karen
You sure? Thanks, Ryan. Next time the coffee’s on me.
真的嗎?謝啦,Ryan。下次咖啡我請(on me)。

Ryan
Deal. And for what it’s worth, it’s always okay to speak up about the bill. Nobody should pay for someone else’s steak.
就這麼說定。順帶一提(for what it’s worth),對帳單開口永遠 OK。沒有人該替別人的牛排買單。

Karen
Exactly. Quietly overpaying every time just builds resentment. One quick “let’s itemize” saves the friendship.
就是說。每次都默默多付只會累積怨氣(resentment)。一句「我們分開算」就能保住友情。

重點單字 Vocabulary Boost
split it evenly/ splɪt ɪt ˈiːvənli / phr.
均攤、平分(帳單)。聚餐結帳最常聽到的一句。同義說法 “split it down the middle”(對半分)。大家點得差不多時最公平,但你吃明顯比較少時,可以禮貌提出別的方式。
Should we just split it evenly? (我們就均攤吧?)

cover/ ˈkʌvər / v.
(替某項費用)付錢、買單。”cover what I had”(付我點的)、”cover the tip”(付小費)、”I’ve got it covered”(我來付)。比 pay 更口語、更有「我來罩這筆」的感覺,朋友間付錢超常用。
Would it be okay if I just covered what I had? (可以讓我付我自己點的就好嗎?)

default to/ dɪˈfɔːlt tuː / phr.
下意識選擇、不假思索就採用(某種預設做法)。”I defaulted to splitting it”(我下意識就想均攤)。default 原本是電腦「預設值」,引申到行為上就是「不多想、直接走預設那條路」,很道地的進階用法。
I just defaulted to splitting it down the middle. (我下意識就想對半均攤。)

feel off/ fiːl ɔːf / phr.
感覺不太對、怪怪的(說不上來哪裡,但就是不對勁)。”An even split feels off”(均攤感覺不太對)。形容那種「沒到生氣,但心裡有疙瘩」的微妙感受,比 “not good” 更精準、更道地。
An even split feels a little off for me. (均攤對我來說有點不太對。)
