Brianna, Paige, and Megan met for dinner at a small Italian restaurant. They shared two pizzas and a plate of salad.
布莉安娜、佩奇和梅根在一家小小的意大利餐厅见面吃晚饭。她们一起吃了两份披萨和一盘沙拉。
At the end of the meal, the waiter brought the bill. Brianna picked it up and looked at the total.
饭吃完时,服务员把账单送来了。布莉安娜拿起账单,看了看总额。
"That seems like a lot," she said, frowning at the number. "Let's split it three ways."
“好像有点多,”她看着那个数字,皱起眉头说,“我们三个人平分吧。”
She divided the total by three and told the others their share. Each person owed close to forty dollars.
她把总额除以三,告诉另外两人各自该付多少。每人要付将近四十美元。
"Wait, that feels too high for what we ordered," Paige said. "Can we check it again?"
“等一下,就我们点的这些东西来说,这感觉太高了,”佩奇说,“我们能再核对一下吗?”
Megan pulled the bill toward her and read each line slowly. She found three pizzas, one salad, and three drinks.
梅根把账单拉到自己面前,一行一行慢慢地看。她看到了三份披萨、一份沙拉和三杯饮料。
"Here's the problem," Megan said, pointing at the paper. "There's a third pizza on here. We only ordered two."
“问题在这儿,”梅根指着纸说,“这上面有第三份披萨。我们只点了两份。”
Brianna looked closely and saw it too. A large pepperoni pizza sat on the list. Nobody at the table remembered ordering it.
布莉安娜仔细一看,也发现了。清单上有一份大号意式腊肠披萨。桌上没有人记得点过它。
"Maybe it's for another table," Paige said. "The waiter probably mixed up two orders."
“也许是别的桌的,”佩奇说,“服务员可能把两桌的单子弄混了。”
Brianna waved the waiter over and showed him the bill. He checked his notes and apologized right away.
布莉安娜招手叫服务员过来,把账单拿给他看。他查了查记录,马上道了歉。
"You're right," he said. "That pizza belongs to the table behind you. I'm very sorry."
“您说得对,”他说,“那份披萨是您后面那一桌的。真的非常抱歉。”
He took the bill and returned with a new one. The new bill did not include the extra pizza.
他拿走账单,又拿来一张新的。新账单上没有多出来的那份披萨。
"Now let's split this one," Megan said, smiling.
“现在来平分这张吧,”梅根笑着说。
They divided the correct total three ways. They left cash on the table together.
她们把正确的总额三人平分。然后一起把现金放在了桌上。
