给小费

At a luxury hotel in Japan, for example, if you try to tip anyone from the wait staff at a top restaurant to the hotel concierge, your gesture will be perceived as a rude and flagrant show of wealth. On the other hand, if you skimp on tipping at any restaurant in the United States or to a concierge who has helped fulfill multiple requests, you probably won't be welcome again.

比如在日本的一家豪华宾馆里，如果你给任何一位顶级餐馆的侍者或宾馆门房服务员小费，那么会被认为是一种粗鲁摆阔的行为；可是在美国任何一家餐馆，如果在用餐或者对帮助你完成了多个任务的服务生没给足小费的话，下次也许就不会受到欢迎了。

Later on, such a typical bribery was popularized, normalized and institutionalized; it changed from prior payment to integrity-based after-service one. One could even be accused on moral grounds of not tipping decently. Hilary Clinton was once criticized by the media for not tipping a waiter,"They don't have a handsome salary, how could they support their families if you don't tip?"

这一典型的贿赂行为被渐渐发扬光大，而且规范化、制度化，从事先付款，到诚信为本的事后付款，甚至如果你不付得体的小费，会受到道义的谴责——有一次希拉里没给服务员付小费就被媒体批评：那些服务员收入不高，你不付小费他们怎么养家糊口呀？
