蒙纳: 我不明白为什么帐单上多出了两块钱，是小费吗？
Mona: I don’t understand what this extra $2 is for. Is it a tip?
琴: 请让我看一下。噢，这是您使用毛巾的收费。
Jean: Let me see. Ah, that’s for use of the towels.
蒙纳: 用毛巾要收费吗？
Mona: The towels?
琴: 是的，您使用冰镇毛巾要收费。
Jean: Yes, the cold towels.
蒙纳: 噢，是这样。

杰克: 我想起来了，那些毛巾还真不错呀。
Jack: Oh yes, they were lovely towels.
琴: 我去给您拿找换的钱。
Jean: I’ll just get your change.
杰克: 不用了，找换的钱就留给你吧。

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。

That’s for the extra coffee.
That’s for the use of the towels.
That’s for the phone call to Australia.
