It's on me! 내가 쏠게!
<오늘의 영어 회화 표현>
누군가에게 시원하게 대접하고 싶을 때 쓸 수 있는 표현 입니다.(대체적으로 음식이나 음료)
한국에서는 대부분 식사를 한 후 나가기 전에 계산대에서 계산하는 것이 일반적이죠?
외국에서는 계산서를 요청하면 웨이터가 영수증(Bill)을 테이블 위에 올려놓고 갑니다.
먼저 소비 목록이 맞는지 확인한 후(가끔은 먹지 않은 것들이 청구되기도 합니다...)
카드나 현금을 Bill 위에 놓으면 웨이터가 다시 가져가 계산 후 영수증이나 잔돈을 가져옵니다.
여기서 on은 ~위에 올려 놓다라는 의미이죠? 내가 쏜다는 말은 즉, bill을 자신한테 올려 놓는다는 의미로 생각하시면 되겠네요.
# 영영사전
「It's on me」: If you say this expression, you are willing to pay the whole bill even two or more people share it such as a meal or a service.

[사례1] Miss Manners: When ‘It’s on me,’ really isn’t
When my wife and I visited our son and his girlfriend for a weekend, we stayed with them in their two-bedroom apartment and had a good time. During the weekend, we enjoyed two dinners and one nice breakfast at smart, trendy restaurants, paid for by me.
After the last dinner was over, my son’s girlfriend said, “Let’s get ice cream. It’s on me.” We all said “Sure,” and headed off.
