leave a tip / 打赏 / (dǎshǎnɡ)

A: Do you often leave a tip for workers in the service industry?   

你常打赏服务业从业人员吗?

(nǐ chánɡ dǎshǎnɡ fúwùyè cónɡyè rényuán ma?)

B: I don't often leave a tip. However, if I run into a very responsible service person, I will leave a tip for them to show my gratitude. 

我不常打赏,但如果碰见非常有责任心的服务业从业人员,我会打赏他们以表感谢。

(wǒ bùchánɡ dǎshǎnɡ, dàn rúɡuǒ pènɡjiàn fēichánɡ yǒu zérènxīn de fúwùyè cónɡyè rényuán, wǒhuì dǎshǎnɡ tāmén yǐbiǎo ɡǎnxiè.)

A: I saw a news report today that a food delivery person got a tip of 1.1 yuan  after delivering food to a lady. But, due to a display error there was a zero added to this number. Can you guess what the guy did?      

我今天看到一则新闻,有一位外卖小哥在给一位女士送完餐后收到了一元一角的打赏。但是由于系统显示问题,一元一角后还跟了一个零,你猜猜这位小哥做了什么?

(wǒ jīntiān kàndào yīzé xīnwén, yǒu yīwèi wàimài xiǎoɡē zàiɡěi yīwèi nǚshì sònɡ wán cān hòu shōudào le yīyuán yījiǎo de dǎshǎnɡ.dànshì yóuyú xìtǒnɡ xiǎnshì wèntí, yīyuán yījiǎo hòu hái ɡēnle yīɡè línɡ, nǐcāi cāi zhèwèi xiǎoɡē zuòle shenme?)

B: Go ahead and tell me. 

你告诉我吧。

(nǐ ɡàosù wǒbā.) 

A: Seeing the number 1.10, the guy thought someone was asking him for help. So he called the police.   

这位小哥因为看到1.10这个数字,以为有人向他求救。他因此拨打了报警电话。

(zhèwèi xiǎoɡē yīnwéi kàndào yiyilingzhèɡè shùzì, yǐwéi yǒurén xiànɡtā qiújiù.tā yīncǐ bōdǎle bàojǐnɡ diànhuà.) 

B: Although this was a misunderstanding, but I can tell this guy has a good heart. 

虽然是个乌龙事件,但能看出这位小哥很善良。
