筷子
筷子(chopsticks)是一种古老的吃饭工具。
尽管(even though)筷子是五千多年前在中国发展起来的,这个传统在当今世界依然是方兴未艾。
使用筷子有很多原因,但筷子的兴起很可能是由于用两根木制的棍(stick)可以使人在距离锅足够近的地方,把食物从锅里取出来而不会烫伤(burn)自己。
这些年来,尽管刀叉(knife and fork)和其他带尖的工具已经传入(introduce)中国,筷子却仍然是主要的(main)吃饭方式。
筷子大部分是木制的,竹子(bamboo)应用的最广泛。
外国人(foreigner)喜欢购买丝绸(silk)筷子当作礼物。
中国人通常利用碗(bowl)或小盘子吃饭。
他们使用筷子吃面条(noodles)和米饭,但韩国人用汤匙(spoon)吃米饭。
