3.Are you going to treat me?
An American actress came to China for the first time. One day when she was looking for her new Chinese friend after a performance, she came across an anxious Chinese who had always wanted to practice his English with native speakers, but had never found the chance. When he saw the actress, he went up and exchanged greetings, then started his practice.
“How old are you?”
“I’m sorry. Please don’t ask a lady about her age,” the actress said uneasily.
“How much do you earn each month?” the Chinese tried hard to recall this sentence from his textbook.
“Sorry again. We don’t feel like telling others about that either, “ she again refused to answer.
“Have you had lunch?” the Chinese tried again to show his traditional way of greeting.
“No, are you planning to treat me to a meal?’ she asked in surprise.

“你多大啦?”
“对不起,请不要问女士的年龄,”演员感到很不自在。
“你每月挣多少钱?”中国人极力回忆着教科书上的句子。
“对不起,我们也不愿意把这事告诉给人家。”她再次拒绝了对方。
“你吃过饭了吗?” 中国人再次用本民族的传方式询问对方。
“没有,你要请我吃饭吗?”她惊喜地问。
