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：
