Q

I think it’s true. For example, at lunchtime people have a set menu, and when a person eats a set menu, they never leave a tip.

A

Yo creo que es verdad. Por ejemplo, a mediodía la gente come un menú del día, y cuando come una persona un menú del día nunca deja propina.

Q

OK, you are right about the set menu and the fact that lots of people don’t leave a tip, but if you go out and eat a la carte or for supper, then people tend to leave a tip.

A

Bueno, tienes razón que con el menú del día hay mucha gente que no deja propina, pero si tu sales a comer a la carta o a cenar la gente suele dejar propina.

Q

The problem is that you are used to the percentage for tips in England, and in Spain it is much lower.

A

El problema es que tú estás acostumbrado al porcentaje de propinas en Inglaterra y en España es mucho más bajo.

26
Q

OK, on the one hand you are right, that I am thinking about England where they leave 10% tips, but on the other hand I think that the 2 to 3 % Spanish tip is very low.

A

Vale, por un lado tienes razón, que yo estoy pensando en Inglaterra donde dejan una propina del 10%, pero por otro lado me parece que la propina española del 2 o 3% es muy baja.

27
Q

In any case it depends on the service.

A

De todas maneras depende del servicio.

28
Q

You are used to leaving a 10% tip, regardless of the quality of the service and the quality of the food.

A

Tu estás acostumbrado a dejar propina, del 10%, independientemente de la calidad del servicio y de la calidad de la comida.

29
Q

What are you talking about! You have no idea! If the food is bad I don’t leave a tip, if the waiter is bad, and he treats me badly, I don’t leave a tip.

A

¡Qué me dices! ¡No tienes ni idea! Si la comida está mala no dejo propina, si el camarero es malo, y me trata mal, no dejo propina.

30
Q

So, you’re getting used to the Spanish ways.

A

Entonces, es que te estás adaptando a las costumbres españolas.

31
Q

What choice have I got!

A

¡Qué remedio!

32
Q

Ben has a scooter, a Vespa to be precise, which he uses to get around Madrid. But now he wants to change his Vespa for a bigger motorbike.

A

Ben tiene un “scooter”, una Vespa en concreto, y la utiliza para moverse por Madrid. Pero ahora quiere cambiar su Vespa por una moto más grande.

33
Q

The thing is that I need a bigger motorbike.

A

Es que necesito una moto más grande.

34
Q

What are you talking about! You don’t need a bigger motorbike.

A

¡Qué dices! Tú no necesitas una moto más grande.

35
Q

The Vespa is fine for getting around Madrid.

A

La Vespa es suficiente para moverse por Madrid.

36
Q

I don’t agree with you, I need a bigger motorbike because it is safer.

A

No estoy de acuerdo contigo, necesito una moto más grande porque es más segura.

37
Q

But the speeds in the city are very low.

A

Pero las velocidades en la cuidad son muy bajas.

38
Q

But you don’t understand.

A

Pero no entiendes.

39
Q

You are the one that doesn’t understand, the fact isn’t that you need a bigger motorbike, it’s that you want a bigger motorbike!

A

Eres tú el que no entiendes, no es que necesites una moto más grande ¡es que quieres una moto más grande!

40
Q

I don’t think you understand the situation very well.

A

Yo creo que tu no entiendes bien la situación.

41
Q

A bigger motorbike is very useful. I can carry more things on the bike when I go shopping.

A

Una moto más grande es muy útil. Puedo llevar más cosas en la moto cuando hago las compras.

42
Q

But you never go shopping on the bike!

A

¡Pero si tu nunca vas de compras en moto!

43
Q

OK, you’re right. On the one hand I never go shopping on the motorbike at the moment, but on the other hand it is possible that I will do more shopping with the motorbike in the future.

A

Vale, tienes razón. Por un lado ahora nunca voy de compras en moto, pero por otro lado es posible que en el futuro haga más compras con la moto.

44
Q

What are you talking about! You are pulling my leg!

A

¡Qué dices! ¡Me estás tomando el pelo!

45
Q

I’m not pulling your leg. Well, I suppose that right now I’m not going to buy a new bike.

A

No te estoy tomando el pelo. Entonces supongo que ahora mismo no puedo comprar una moto nueva.

46
Q

No, it’s very expensive.

A

No, es muy cara.

But I will next year.
