2014-08-05来源:lifegooroo

There are a lot of different countries in the world, and there are even more tipping customs. When you travel you need to know how to tip in the country that you’re in, otherwise you’ll leave servers angry everywhere you go. Here are just a few guidelines to tipping around the world.
世界上有许多不同的国家,付小费的习俗也各不相同。出去旅游时你应该知道你所游历的国家如何付小费,否则无论走到哪里你都会惹怒服务人员。下面是几条教你在世界各国付小费的指导。

入乡需随俗 盘点世界各地小费攻略

Brazil
巴西

There will always be a standard 10% service charge added to your bill, and you won’t necessarily have to tip. If you do feel like being generous, an extra 5-10% will really make your server very happy. Just remember to do this as subtly as possible—Brazilians don’t make a big show of this.
账单上总会收取10%的标准服务费,你就没必要再付小费了。如果你确实想表现得大方一点,额外5%-10%的小费会让服务员非常开心。只需要做到付小费时尽量低调一点——巴西人不喜欢以此来炫耀。

Israel
以色列

Tipping is a fairly straight forward 10-13%. Your service may not be stellar, but those are the rules. Restaurants in some touristy parts of Tel Aviv may add a gratuity as high as 18%, so keep an eye out to avoid double tipping.
小费明确规定是10%到13%。你受到的服务可能不是最好的,但是给小费是规则。特拉维夫市内旅游区的餐厅甚至可能征收高达18%的小费,所以千万注意避免重复给小费。

Dubai
迪拜

In Dubai it’s mandatory for restaurants to charge 10% gratuity on all restaurant and bar bills. You can add a couple of dirhams to this if you feel like it. Waiters are not paid very much in Dubai, so it is always very appreciated.
在迪拜,餐厅对所有的账单或是酒吧账单征收10%的小费是强制的。如果愿意的话,你也可以多付一些迪拉姆(当地货币)。迪拜的服务员工资并不高,所以多付小费是非常受欢迎的。

Germany
德国

German bars and restaurants will include the gratuity as part of what you owe, but that’s not all you have to pay. It is customary to round the bill up after that, usually to the euro. This can be anywhere from 5-10%. When it’s time to settle up, you won’t get a bill: your waiter tells you the total and then you tell them how much you want to pay, including your “tip,” and hand over the money.
德国的酒吧和餐馆会把小费纳入消费总额中,但是这并不是最终金额。习惯是将消费总额取整数,通常零头按1欧元算。小费在5%到10%之间。结账的时候,你不会收到账单:服务员会告诉你总额,然后你来告诉他们你想付多少,包括小费,然后把钱给他。

Czech Republic
捷克

While locals in the Czech Republic don’t leave tips, that doesn’t mean you’re off the hook. Foreign tourists are definitely expected to leave some kind of tip for service—as long as you’re in a high tourist traffic area, like Prague for instance. The standard tip is 10%. Just remember not to misinterpret your server’s curtness for rudeness.
捷克当地人是不支付小费的,但这不意味着你就可以幸免了。服务员当然期望外国游客能够支付服务费——只要你是在游客聚集区,比如布拉格。标准小费是10%。记住千万不要把服务员的直接当成鲁莽了。
