蒙纳: 我不明白为什么帐单上多出了两块钱，是小费吗？

请注意，有些时候客人会对帐单提出疑问。造成这种局面的原因可
能是因为语言不通，或者是客人不了解帐单的列表方式。遇到这样
的情况，通常的处理方式就是向客人解释为什么收费中会多出了一
些款项，或者逐个地向客人解释每道菜的收费。有时候客人可能也
会忘记自己点过的菜呢。现在让我们来听听琴是如何就帐单中多出
来的收费向客人做解释的。
Jean: Ah, that’s for use of the towels.
That’s for 是that is for 的简略说法，意思是“这是有关某物
或者某项服务的收费”。这是在解释帐单时最常用的一种表示方
法。请听下列英语短句和中文翻译。

这是额外咖啡的收费。

这是您打往澳大利亚的电话收费。

注意听并跟着重复。
That’s for corkage.
That’s for the extra coffee.
That’s for the use of the towels.
That’s for the phone call to Australia.
