Cultural Background

中文

在中国餐厅,要求分单是很常见的,特别是朋友聚餐或商务宴请时。服务员通常会很乐意帮忙。

在非正式场合,可以直接跟服务员说“麻烦把菜单分一下,我们想分开结账”或“我们想AA制”。

在正式场合,可以用更礼貌的表达,例如“请问可以帮忙把菜单分一下吗?我们想分开点餐”。

English

In Chinese restaurants, requesting separate checks is very common, especially for friend gatherings or business dinners. Waiters are usually happy to help.

In informal settings, you can directly tell the waiter "Could you please separate the menus? We want to pay separately" or "We want to split the bill".

In formal settings, use a more polite expression, such as "Could you please help separate the menus? We would like to order separately."
