The baker was standing behind his counter, disputing the items of a bill with a shabby-genteel young woman.
面包店老板站在柜台后面,正跟一个衣衫褴褛的、斯文的年轻女人为一笔账而争论。

So, the paper pathfor a bill would be: from the mailbox to the kitchen counter; from the kitchencounter to the desk of the home office where the bill is paid; from the desk tothe filing cabinet.
所以账单的纸途径应该是这样的:从邮箱到橱柜;从橱柜到付账的房间的办公桌上;从办工桌到档案柜。

Never fight over a bill if someone else offers to pay; you can counter once, and then after that simply thank the person paying for the generosity and offer to pick up the TAB the next time.
