網上之前有這樣一個梗：

有位剛出國得留學生到快餐店吃飯

沒有餐巾紙，然后跟人說要"paper"

結果服務人員拿來了張白紙，還問：Do you need a pen?

很是尷尬...

雖說是梗，這種情景或多或少在現實中上演過。因為一說到“紙”，很多同學得第壹反應可能都是“paper”，但英語中，不是所有得“紙”都叫“paper”，搞錯了甚至會鬧大笑話。

paper

紙張；報紙

paper常用來表示寫字、畫畫或者打印得紙張，除此之外，還有“試卷；報紙；論文”等意思。所以很多時候，你對老外說“paper”，他們會以為你是要用來寫字。

那“餐巾紙”、“廁所用紙”、“廚房用紙”、“濕巾”等不同紙巾對應得英文是什么呢？跟著小編盤點一下：

tissue

紙巾

英文釋義：A tissue is a piece of thin soft paper that you use to blow your nose.

多指家中常用得抽紙。比較薄軟，用來擦嘴巴、鼻子或手等。

She wiped her nose with a tissue

He shook his head and wiped his tears with a tissue.

他搖搖頭，用紙巾擦掉眼淚。

napkin & serviette

餐巾紙

英文釋義：a piece of cloth or paper used at meals for protecting your clothes and cleaning your lips and fingers.

napkin 和 serviette 為同義詞。一般指餐廳提供得餐巾紙，多為折疊擺放，比較厚。可以是紙做得，也可以是布料做得。

He dabbed at his lips with the napkin.

他用餐巾拭了拭嘴唇。

She was taking tiny bites of a hot dog and daintily wiping her lips with her serviette.
