　　An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him. You may say something like this, Im afraid itll have to be some place cheap, as I have very little money. The other person may say, OK, Ill meet you at McDonalds. This means that two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Johnsons, or I want you to try the steak(牛排) there. Its great. This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you neednt pay for the meal. You may just say, Thank you. That would be very nice.
