Go Dutch 的真實由來和趣聞
16~17世紀時的荷蘭和威尼斯,是海上商品貿易和早期資源共享本主義的發蹟之地。終日奔波的意大利、荷蘭商人們已衍生出聚時交流信息、散時各付資費的習俗來。因為商人的流動性很強,一個人請別人的客,被請的人說不定這輩子再也碰不到了,為了大家不吃虧,彼此分攤便是最好的選擇了。而荷蘭人因其精明、凡事都要分清楚,逐漸形成了let's go dutch(讓我們去荷蘭)的俗語。而幽默的美國人將這句話引申成為“AA制”(Acting Appointment)。
荷蘭人常開的一個玩笑能充分反映他們的性格:有些荷蘭人會問你“知道銅絲是怎麼發明的嗎?”,他們會解釋“兩個荷蘭人在路上撿到了一個硬幣,都認為是自己最先發現的,於是相互爭搶,最後拽成銅絲的”。 :)這個故事充分說明了荷蘭人的性格,但是實在的荷蘭人並不認為這有什麼不好,反映在平時工作生活上,他們開誠佈公、性格耿直、樂於發表自身看法、做事情計劃性強、有經濟頭腦,還富有幽默感。

在英文當中,有不少貶義詞包含「Dutch」(荷蘭人),例如Dutch courage(酒醉後才變得大膽)、Dutch feast(宴會上主人家比客人更早酩酊大醉)、Dutch metal(混雜了大量銅的仿金),隱含虛假劣質之意。傳說go Dutch源自十七世紀,當時英國與荷蘭於貿易及殖民地上鬥得難分難解,英國人故為Dutch一詞代入不少貶義,go Dutch的另一個說法是Dutch treat(荷蘭人請客),則有諷刺荷蘭人錙銖必較、不會真正請客之意。
Go Dutch或指德國人
然而亦有另一個說法指,go Dutch一詞中的Dutch並不指荷蘭人,而是美國賓夕法尼亞州的德國移民。由於德國人的德文是Deutsch,讀音與Dutch近似,因此在美國有「賓夕法尼亞州的荷蘭人」(Pennsylvania Dutch)之稱,而go Dutch有說其實是指德國人從來不欠人,亦只會買自己付得起的東西。
有趣的是,在荷蘭文中並沒有go Dutch的說法,反而有「美國人派對」(Amerikaans feest)一詞,表示派對中各個賓客會自攜食物及飲品,大家一同分享,不會有人請客。

出國在速食店快速英文點餐
I'd like a large order of fries and a Big Mac meal with a side salad and a Coke.(我想要一份大薯跟一份大麥克套餐配沙拉和可樂。)
常見的麥當勞餐點有像是:
● 漢堡:Big Mac 大麥克、McChicken 麥香雞、Filet-O-Fish 麥香魚…
● 炸雞:Chicken McNuggets 麥克雞塊、McCrispy Chicken 麥脆雞…
● 點心:fries 薯條、baked apple pie 蘋果派、salad 沙拉...
● 飲料:vanilla cone 蛋捲冰淇淋、sundae 聖代、McFlurry 冰旋風、Coke 可樂、Sprite 雪碧…
升級 / 更換餐點
麥當勞套餐通常會搭配中薯和汽水,如果想要更換或升級餐點的話,可以跟店員說:
Can I pick a different drink?(我可以更換飲料嗎?)
Can I make my drink / fries larger?(我可以將飲料/ 薯條加大嗎?)
Can I supersize my drink / fries?(我可以將飲料 / 薯條升級成最大份的嗎?)
用 make ______ larger 表示「加大、升級」,或者用 supersize 來表示「升級成最大份」。
特殊餐點需求
如果是有特殊餐點需求,例如「不要美乃滋」、「薯條去鹽」,則可以在餐點後面加上 with...(要有...)或 without...(不要...)來表示喔。
I'd like to order a McChicken without mayo and a Filet-O-Fish with extra cheese.(我想要點一份不加美乃滋的麥香雞和一份起司加量的麥香魚。)
I'd like a medium order of fries without salt.(我想要一份中薯,薯條去鹽。)
除了美乃滋、起司,麥當勞顧客經常想更換的醬料和配料還有像是:
ketchup 番茄醬、mustard 芥末醬、tartar sauce 塔塔醬、lettuce 萵苣…
其他需求
除了提出餐點需求,有時顧客也會想索取沾醬(dipping sauce)、調味包等,這時就可以說:
I'd like two sugars and two creamers.(我想要兩包糖包、兩顆奶球。)
Can I get some pepper?(可以給我胡椒粉嗎?)
Can I get sweet and sour sauce for my fries instead of ketchup?(可以給我糖醋醬而不是番茄醬來沾薯條嗎?)
