答案与详细解析

正确答案:B

听力原文:

W: Our meal itself was $60. After adding the tax, the total amount comes to 70. Should we pay that?

M: It would be rude if we didn't tip here. For good service, I usually give 20 percent of the original bill, without the tax included.

重点句翻译

Our meal itself was $60. After adding the tax, the total amount comes to 70.

Trans.: 餐费本身是60美元,加上税费后,总额达到70美元。

For good service, I usually give 20 percent of the original bill, without the tax included.

Trans.: 服务好的话,我通常按照不含税的原始账单金额的20%给小费。

分析

根据对话梳理金额计算逻辑:饭菜原价(原始账单)为60美元,含税合计70美元;男士说明服务良好时,小费按 "without the tax included"(不含税的原价)的 20% 计算,小费金额:$60 × 20% = 12美元;最终需要支付的总金额=含税账单70美元+小费12美元 = 82美元(注意:本题易错选A选项,A选项是错误把含税70美元当作基数计算小费得出的结果)。因此选择 B 项。
