生活口语
How much do I owe you?
我要付多少钱?
Two hundred yuan per night for standard room, without breakfast.
标间每晚200元,不含早餐。
重点讲解:
How much do I have to pay?
How much do I owe you?
短语owe sb. sth.的意思是“欠某人某物”,不过在口语中,我们不能根据字面意思将How much do I owe you?翻译为“我欠你多少钱?”这句话是老外在买单结账的时候惯用的一句口语,用来询问需付款的数额。比如,How much do I owe you for this pen?这支钢笔多少钱?
