AA还是请客

字幕原文

There's a small moment of panic 总会有那么一瞬间让人心里一紧，

at the end of every group dinner. 就在每次聚餐快要买单的时候。

The bill arrives, and nobody quite knows how to handle it. 账单一拿上来，大家都不知道该怎么算才好。

Do we split it evenly, 是大家直接平摊呢，

even though one person only had a salad 哪怕有人只点了一盘沙拉，

and someone else ordered three drinks? 而有人却喝了三杯饮品？

Do we all pull out our phones 还是说大家都掏出手机，

and calculate exactly what we each owe? 精确算清楚每个人到底该付多少？

I've seen friendships get quietly awkward over a few dollars. 我见过不少朋友因为区区几块钱，关系就悄悄变得尴尬了。

My rule now is simple. 我现在自己的原则很简单。

If the difference is small, 要是差得不多，

I just let it go and split evenly. 我就不去计较，直接平摊了。

The friendship is worth far more than five dollars. 朋友之间的交情，可比那五块钱值钱多了。

Counting every cent might feel fair, 算得一清二楚可能让人觉得挺公平，

but it leaves a strange taste on an otherwise nice evening. 但却会让本来挺愉快的一个晚上变得有点扫兴。

Some things are worth more than being exactly even. 有些东西可比算得分毫不差重要得多。

A relaxed table is one of them. 饭桌上轻松自在的氛围就是其中之一。
