餐桌上的礼仪用英语介绍餐桌上的礼仪用英语介绍 当有一天,你有外国的朋友来,这个时候你就要为外国友人介绍 餐桌上的一切,那么你们知道要怎么办吗下面是OK 为大家的餐桌 上的礼仪英语 ,希望能够帮到大家哦 中国饮食在世界上是很有名的。Ibelieve the Chinese food is famous around the world. 假如你来到中国,中国朋友请你吃饭,你就需要了解一下有关宴 会中的座次问题。Andif you are in China and you are asked by your Chinese friend to a dinner, youmay want to know how to pick up your seat at the table and what is the properway to sit at the table. 这个位子一般是主位,是主人的。Well,normally this seat is the seat for the host or the hostess. 这个位子面朝着门。面朝着门的一般是主位。Theseat is facing the door of this room. 也可以根据餐巾的样式来辨别座位。Onemay also distinguish the seats at the table from the style in which the napkinsare folded. 无论餐巾折成什么样式,最高的餐巾对应的座位,一定是主位。 Regardlessof how the napkins are arranged.,thetallest arrangement will always correspond to the master seat. 一张坐四五个人的小桌子,与主人的座位相对应的背对着门的那 个位置则是被邀请的主客坐的位置。Atthe small table, a table for four of five, the seat right across of the hostseat, the seat over there, the back of which is facing the door is the seat forthe main guest. 当然如果桌子大一点的时候,比如说可以坐十到十二个人的桌 子,由于主人和客人说话不太方便,跨越桌子就像跨越一片大海一 样,所以他们可以挨着坐,这种情况下是可以挨着坐的,这样坐主 人和客人说话更方便一些。Butusually of course, when it’s a bigger table, a table for ten or twelve, and itis not easy for host or hostess talking with the main guest, right across thetable like right across the ocean and they can just sit side by side which canmake it easier for them to talk. 我想你也注意到了在桌子上还有一个小桌子,就是可以转动的这 个。Andon the table I suppose you have noticed that there is something like this, it’sa smaller table on the big table. 可以叫它 LazySusan。AndI suppose you call it Lazy Susan. Lazy Suzan 对,它可以方便客人夹菜。Yeah,this can make things easier for us. 因为在中国的宴席上,我们并不是谁点的菜谁吃。Becausein the Chinese way of having food,wedon’t order our own food. 而是为所有人点菜,大家一起分享食物。Weorder for everybody and everybody shares the food on the table. 我们经常会采取桌上的人每人点一个菜的方式。Andusually we can have each of the people at the table to order one of the dishes. 那么如果我想吃的菜在桌子的另一边,比如说我想吃鸡肉,我就 可以转动这个小桌子,让鸡肉转到我这一边来。Sowhat if something I want is on the other side of the table, for instance if Iwant the chicken, so I can turn the Lazy Susan and turn the chicken to my side. 这样不用站起来就可以够到菜,因为站起来夹菜是不礼貌的。 Ican just pick it up without standing up and reaching out which is not proper orpolite in Chinese table manner. 另外还要注意当别人夹菜的时候,这个时候你最好不要转动这个 小桌子。Andof course when someone else picks the dishes you are not gonna turn the tableat that time, turn lazy Susan at that time. 你知道为什么我坐在这儿而不是坐在那儿吗Anddo you know why I just sit hear rather than there 因为坐在那儿的人要负责买单。Becausethe one sitting there is gonna pay the bill. 中国的宴席中一般都有敬酒的习俗。MostChinese people have the tradition of making toasts at banquets. 敬酒的顺序通常要按照年龄先长后幼、职位由高到低或者先主宾 后次宾的顺序。Theorder on the toast may be based on age from the eldest to the youngest bysocial position from high to low, or by guest status from principal tosecondary. 只有充分考虑到敬酒的顺序,才能达到敬酒的效果,使大家皆大 欢喜。Onlyif the individual proposes the toast in a correct and reasonable manner, wouldthe toast be well received and appreciated. 在宴席上饮酒的过程
