| can I get you a refill? | Вам налить ещё кофе? (Americans refill drinks, the British top them up. In the UK, the common American experience of (orig. and chiefly AmE) bottomless coffee (i.e. free refills) is not common at all, but in the US, the (AmE, often jocular) waitron will flit from table to table, coffee pot in hand, asking "Can I get you a refill?" or "Can I warm that up for you"? If this were to happen in the UK, it would be most natural to ask if the customer would like a top-up.  blogspot.com 4uzhoj) |
