题目：吃西餐的礼仪

解：

Good basic table manners are important because they ensure that both guests and hosts are comfortable at the table. Table manners are mostly common sense. Following these will carry you through most common situations from Formal Dinners to a night of poker with the guys.

1. Sit up straight. Try not to slouch or lean back in your chair (even if you are playing cards and don't want you opponents to see your hand).

2. Don't speak with your mouth full of food. Sure, you've heard your mother say it a hundred times, but no one likes to see a ball of masticated meat in your mouth. If you feel you must speak immediately, if you have only a relatively small bite, tuck it into your cheek with your tongue and speak briefly.

3. Chew quietly, and try not to slurp. This is a corollary of rule number 2. Making noises is not only unappetizing, and distracting, but it can also interrupt the flow of conversation.

4. Keep bites small. In order to facilitate the above rules it is smart to keep bite sizes to a moderate forkful. Cut meat and salad so that it doesn't hang from your mouth after you shovel it in. Don't cut all of your meat at one time, this tends to remind people of feeding small children - and the messiness associated with this activity.

5. Eat at a leisurely pace. This rule, besides being good for the digestion, also shows your host that you want to enjoy the food and the company. Eating quickly and running is sign of disrespect for the host, as it shows that your focus is on the food and that you would rather be at home watching the grass grow than passing time with your host.

6. Don't wave utensils in the air, especially knives or if there is food on them. Besides the danger of knocking over glasses, piercing waiters or launching a pea into the eye of your date, this is a sign of over-excitedness that may be unappealing to those present. Earnestness is to be commended, but irrational exuberance goes beyond the limits of good table manners.

7. Keep your elbows off the table. You have also heard this one from your mother, ad infinitum, but in close dining situations it is a vital rule. Elbows take up table space and can be a danger in knocking plates or glasses. Elbows on the table give you something to lean on and tend to lull you into slouching. If you must lean on the table a good tactic is to take a roll or piece of bread into your free hand and rest part of your forearm on the table.

8. Don't Reach. You don't want to get in the way of people either eating or talking. Not only is it as impolite as standing in front of a TV with other people behind you, but there is always the possibility of upsetting glasses or running your sleeve through someone's mashed potatoes.

9. Don't forget please and thank you. These are handy words in most situations but especially vital at the table where common courtesies are noticed by everyone present.

10. Excuse yourself when leaving the table. You don't want people to think that you are tired of their company. If you must leave the table make your excuses somewhat obvious and appear to be pressing. You want to leave people with the impression that you would rather remain at the table talking with them than doing anything else, but the matter at hand is so pressing that it must be attended to at once.

11. Compliment the Cook. Even if the food is perfectly awful say something nice. You don't have to lie, simply find the positive side of the burnt leg of lamb..."Gee, the sauce was sure tasty." It is always pleasant to end a meal on a positive note.

12. Wipe your mouth before drinking. Ever notice that disgusting smudge on the edge of your wine glass? This can be avoided by first wiping your lips with your napkin. (Thanks to Lindy Hill for this contribution.)

Generally,Chinese table manners are more informal than the West,although there are more rules concerning interactions with other guests due to high levels of social interaction as a result of the communal style of serving.

Chopstick usage

Chopsticks should always be held correctly,i.e.between the thumb and first two fingers of the right hand.

When not in use,chopsticks must always be placed neatly on the table with two sticks lying tidily next to each other at both ends.Never point the chopsticks at another person.This amounts to insulting that person and is a major faux pas.

Never wave your chopsticks around as if they were an extension of your hand gestures.

Never bang chopsticks like drumsticks.This is akin to telling others at the table you are a beggar.

Never suck the chopsticks.

Decide what to pick up before reaching with chopsticks,instead of hovering them over or rummaging through dishes.

To keep chopsticks off the table,they can be rested horizontally on one's plate or bowl; a chopstick rest (commonly found in restaurants) can also be used.

When picking up a piece of food,never use the tips of your chopsticks to penetrate the food as with a fork; exceptions include tearing apart larger items such as vegetables.In more informal settings,smaller items or those more difficult to pick up such as cherry tomatoes or fishballs may be stabbed,but this is frowned upon by traditionalists.

Never stab chopsticks vertically into a bowl of rice,as this resembles incense sticks used at temples to pay respects to the deceased.This is considered the ultimate dinner table faux pas.

Communal chopsticks

When there are communal chopsticks,it is considered impolite to use your own chopsticks to pick up the food from the shared plate,or to eat using the communal chopsticks.

It is considered impolite to use the blunt end of one's own chopsticks to transfer food from a common dish to one's own plate or bowl; use the communal chopsticks instead.

When communal chopsticks are not provided,it is considered polite (and sanitary) to use the blunt end of one's own chopsticks to serve a guest by transferring food from the common dish to a guest's plate or bowl.

An exception to the above can usually be made in intimate settings such as at home.

Other utensils

If noodle soup is served,many consider a more elegant way to eat by picking the noodle into a serving spoon first,and eating from the spoon,rather than slurping directly from the bowl into the mouth using chopsticks.

Chinese traditionally eat rice from a small bowl held in the left hand,however by no means is this good etiquette.It is believed this is the way most people eat but not at all an indication of how it should be done.The rice bowl is raised to the mouth and the rice pushed into the mouth using the chopsticks.Some Chinese find it offensive to scoop rice from the bowl using a spoon.If rice is served on a plate,as is more common in the West,it is acceptable and more practical to eat it with a fork or spoon.The thumb must always be above the edge of the bowl.

Eating from common dishes

Pick the food on the dish that is at the top and nearest to you in distance.Never rummage through the dish or pick from the far side for your favorite food.

In general,more conservative Chinese frown upon the practice of picking more than one or two bites of food in your bowl or serving plate as if you were eating in the Western way.Most Chinese would understand the practice during infectious disease epidemics,or if the person is from the West.

If both a serving bowl - separate from rice bowl - and plate are provided,never put any food items to be eaten onto the serving plate.This rule may be relaxed for foreigners.

If a dish is soupy,pull the serving bowl near the serving dish and reduce the distance the chopsticks need carrying the food.Spilling plenty of sauce on the table is a major faux pas.

After you have picked up a food item,do not put it back in the dish.

Seniority and guests at the table

The elderly or guest(s) of honour are usually the first to start the meal.

The youngest or least senior may serve the eldest or most senior first,as part of the Confucian value of respecting seniors.

The youngest on the table addresses all of the elder members at the table before starting,perhaps telling them to please "eat rice" as a signal to help themselves.

The best food in a dish should be left to the elderly,children,or the guest of honour,even if they are one's favourite.

The eldest person present,or the guest of honour,is given a seat facing the door.

When the hostess says her food is not good enough,the guest must disagree and tell her it is one of the finest foods they have ever tasted.

Drinks

The host should always make sure everyone's cups are not empty for long.One should not pour for oneself,but if thirsty should first offer to pour for a neighbor.When your drink is being poured,you should say "thank you",and/or tap your index and middle finger on the table to show appreciation,especially when you are in Southern China,e.g.Guangdong Province.This action is evocative of bowing your head.

When people wish to clink drinks together in the form of a cheer,it is important to observe that younger members should clink the rim of their glass below the rim of an elder's to show respect.

Strong alcohol,called baijiu,is often served throughout the meal; and it is customary for the host[s]/hostess[es] to insist that guests drink to "show friendship." If the guests prefers not to drink,they may say,"I'm unable to drink,but thank you." [in Mandarin:"Wo bu neng he jiu,xie xie."] The host may continue to insist that the guests drink,and the guests may likewise continue to insist upon being "unable" to drink.The host's insistance is to show generosity.Therefore,refusal by the guests should be made with utmost politeness.Beware:If a guest drinks alcohol with a subordinate at the table,the guest will be expected [if not forced] to drink a glass of the same alcohol with each superior at that table,and possibly at other tables too鈥攊f the guest has not passed out yet.

Smoking

Smoking is an extremely prevalent habit in China,especially among men.During meals,the host will sometimes pass out cigarettes to all the men around the table.If a guest prefers not to smoke,she/he should politely refuse.In Mandarin,one could say,"鎴戜笉鎶界儫,璋㈣阿" (Wo bu chou yan,xie xie).

Business meals

During business meals,it is best not to eat to the point of satiation,as business and not food is the actual main purpose of the gathering.

Miscellaneous

In the past,some people tended to sit at least 1 metre (3 chi) from the dining table so they would not be literally rubbing elbows with other guests.Nowadays,this practice is rarely observed.

When eating food that contains bones,it is common for the bones be spat out onto the table next to one's plate.Spitting bones onto the floor is almost never acceptable.

Belching,smacking,and slurping are common.

By Western standards,the conversations during meals often are quite loud and animated.

Treatment of staff at restaurants is somewhat "rough," with waiters/waitresses often being advised by patrons to 偣 (kuai dian),which means "hurry up."

Talking with a full mouth and eating with the elbows on the table are both very common,and tasting food from a table guest's plate is also not uncommon.

Dear Tom:

I heard you are going to travel to China,first of all,welcome to this beautiful country.However,I think there is something you should know—you know,manners in China,especially dinner manners.

First,we Chinese use chopsticks instead of folks which point you may cannot get used to.Chopsticks have been developed for about thousand years so it’s very traditional.

Second,putting your sticks into food is quite unpolite.In China,we take this as a rude behavior which means you don’t like the food here.

Last but not least,don’t speak with your mouth full of food,that’s not polite nor looks nice.

Hope you can have good trip,all the best~

Table Manners

The main difference between Chinese and western eating habits is that unlike the West,where everyone has their own plate of food,in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares.If you are being treated by a Chinese host,be prepared for a ton of food.Chinese are very proud of their culture of cuisine and will do their best to show their hospitality.

And sometimes the Chinese host use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate.This is a sign of politeness.The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how yummy it is.If you feel uncomfortable with this,you can just say a polite thank you and leave the food there.

Eating No-no's

Don't stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl.Instead,lay them on your dish.The reason for this is that when somebody dies,the shrine to them contains a bowl of sand or rice with two sticks of incense stuck upright in it.So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl,it looks like this shrine and is equivalent to wishing death upon a person at the table!

Make sure the spout of the teapot is not facing anyone.It is impolite to set the teapot down where the spout is facing towards somebody.The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting,usually just outward from the table.

Don't tap on your bowl with your chopsticks.Beggars tap on their bowls,so this is not polite.Also,when the food is coming too slow in a restarant,people will tap their bowls.If you are in someone's home,it is like insulting the cook.

Drinking

Gan Bei!(Cheers!“Gan Bei” literally means “dry [the] glass”) Besides beer,the official Chinese alcoholic beverage is Bai Jiu,high-proof Chinese liquor made from assorted grains.There are varying degrees of Bai Jiu.The Beijing favorite is called Er Guo Tou,which is a whopping 56% alcohol.More expensive are Maotai and Wuliangye.

Of course,the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork,but that’s only superficial.Besides,in decent restaurants,you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork,if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough.The real difference is that in the West,you have your own plate of food,while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares.If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you’re in the country for the first time,he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.

The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes,to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes.Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to be followed by staple food ranging from rice,noodles to dumplings.If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes,you should say so in good time,for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all.

People in China tend to over-order food,for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed.When you have had enough,just say so.Or you will always overeat!

Eating habits

As a nation we are becoming more aware of the food we and our children are eating.The recent campaign to improve school dinners by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has helped raise awareness of our fast food lifestyles.

Healthy eaters or just trendy?

Are there certain things that you do and don’t eat and why?With so many food programmes and books telling you what you should and shouldn’t eat to be healthy it’s hard to keep track.Some people are vegetarians for moral reasons,some don’t like the taste of meat and there are one or two people who do it because it’s trendy.Likewise,it can be trendy to follow the latest celebrity diet because it’s what the famous are doing.

Eating out

People are eating out more frequently now,not just on special occasions as in the past.The choice of restaurants has also diversified over the last few decades.Italian,Chinese and Indian restaurants have been around for years but have now been joined by Mongolian,Japanese,Mexican and Turkish amongst others.Bars and pubs are still popular for food and often promote English cuisine made with local produce.For the Queen’s recent 80th birthday celebrations,top UK chefs battled it out to create the Great British Menu to serve at a birthday banquet.

‘We enjoy eating out a couple times and month whether with friends or just as a couple.We like trying new things so go to different restaurants.’ Craig,25,County Durham.

Eating on the go

From chocolate bars to sandwiches and wraps more people are eating on the go - on the street,in cars or on buses and trains.While our parents and grandparents may frown at this behaviour,considering it to be bad manners,people eat on the go because they are rushing from one place to another.And in the home the number of people sitting down at a dining table for their evening meal is on the decrease as meal times become more informal.

‘If I’m running late for work I don’t think twice about eating toast in the car or on the bus but I know my mum wouldn’t approve.’ Stacey,24,Leeds.

Whilst we may be trying to eat more healthily it seems we still have some bad habits.
