1704976831 请你吃饭

1704976833 请吃饭,无论是在中国,还是在美国,都是一件很常见的事情。在中国,无论是请你去大饭店吃宴席,还是请你到家中吃饭,中国人的表达方法基本上就是:“请你吃饭”。“请”字在当今的中国社会里用得极为普遍,既不是一个非常正式的词儿,也绝非一个十分随意的词儿,更多包含的是一种礼貌。“请”在英语里,就是invite somebody to do something。在美国,大多数的请人吃饭,也只是随意而为,并非很正式。因此,当你随意花上几块钱,请朋友吃便当,也说I invite you to dinner,不但会很不合适,也会显得很假。在这种情况下,美国人说的比较多的就是I’ll buy you dinner.(我请你吃饭),或Can I buy you dinner?(我请你吃饭,怎么样?)。同样,请人在外面喝茶、咖啡或饮料,可以说let me buy you a cup of tea(a cup of coffee,a drink.)(我请你喝茶)。根据我做的调查,许多中国人在用英语表达请人吃饭时(非正式场合),不喜欢用buy这个词。我很理解。因为buy在汉语里只是“买”的意思,因此,buy someone dinner,在中国人的眼里,只是给别人买饭而已,没有邀请之意,没有体现出一种盛情。其实,在英语里,if you buy someone dinner,他会很开心的,丝毫不会觉得你在礼貌上有欠缺,相反,他会体会到邀请者的一种付出。这就是汉语和英语在文化上的差异。当然,在正式场合下,英语I invite you to dinner是合适的,既可以表示请你到饭店去吃饭,也可以表示请你到家中吃饭。而if you buy someone dinner,则一定不是自己做饭请对方吃了。
