When I   a day before, I was asked whether I would eat a $20 or $50 lunch. I said, “$50 .” I didn’t realize until I was asked to pay after the lunch, that “$50” means “$50 for each person.” There were five of us that day. When the bill（账单）came        , it was $310.40 (250 for food and the rest for drinks, fruits and air-conditioning). Though everybody was surprised, I paid the bill without a word.
