請問一個英文題吃自助餐或是在餐廳,吃的夠本/回本的英文要怎麼說?
It's enough to cover the cost (of the meal)
參考看看吧!

All you can eat 並不代表 "夠本" "回本"
如果小朋友或食量小的人, 有時再怎麼吃也還是不夠本
所以要強調 "夠本" "回本" , "cost" ----成本這單字一定要有
It's enough to cover the cost ( of the meal) 括弧內的字可有可無

版主提的 break even, 可以用在此句型:
下面網址裡 Tony 的回答就是用 break even
The only thing edible (and interesting) about the buffet is the unlim. Beijing Duck.
If you can eat a whole duck, you'll probably break even. ...

想要吃夠本或撈本並非只有中國人,外國人一樣是人,
有的也是會有這樣的念頭啊! 下靣這引文出自芝加哥老美:
House of Hunan still has a buffet. The only thing edible (and interesting) about the buffet is the unlim. Beijing Duck. If you can eat a whole duck, you'll probably break even.
就是用 break even. 參考網址已在補充欄

嗯。 Get one's money's worth.
不過，外國人好像比較沒有到自助餐店撈本的念頭耶。
可能多少是因為吃到飽的餐廳比較少吧。

吃的夠本/回本的英文要怎麼說? -----
"eat enough to get my(或 the) money's worth" (吃到足夠我的錢所值的) 或 "eat enough of what I pay for" (付錢買的東西要吃到夠)
單字：enough:足夠 / worth: 所值 / what I pay for: 付錢買的東西
註: "all you can eat"是吃到飽，但吃到飽可能還是沒回本

"break even" 一般用於公司行號"收入支出打平，沒賺沒賠"．要用來說"吃的夠本/回本的"是很特別的情況，像是工作是會計的，會有一種幽默感：For what I pay, I will eat enough to break even.
或者用"get even"(扯平)也可以，但復仇味濃．

It's enough to cover the cost ( of the meal). 乍聽之下會不知是指啥東西"enough"??? －意思不清楚. "All you can eat to (make it) break even." 不是完整句子.

All you can eat.
