Differences in customs between American and Chinese

With the development of the world, cross-cultural communication grows to be a necessity in everyone’s life. As we know, the definition of culture is that “it is the system of shared beliefs, values, customs, behaviors, and artifacts that the members of society use to cope with their world and with one another, and that are transmitted from generation to generation through learning.” Chinese and Americans are born to different cultures and they are different in many aspects, so cultural differences are the hinder of the cross-cultural communication and how to clear away the obstacle has become the problem that the world has to face.First, I want to speak of the differences about diet customs. In America, you can’t talk at an excessively loud volume which is regarded as a bad manner. At the same time, eating is regarded as a way of communication and a necessary survival means. On the contrast, many issues are solved at table. Liu Yutang, a famous anthropological scholar, once said:” The diet concepts of people from English countries are different from those of Chinese. They think that eating is just an act giving your body nutrients, like injecting fuel to a machine, to ensure its normal operation. Therefore, in the minds of the Western people eating just a life-susaining role in their life. We can see clearly that American people would not assign more important missions to eating, which have been down by the Chinese people for a long time.” Just as it implies, we can find thedifferent attitudes on eating between Americans and Chinese.Next, the differences in communicating customs are also apparent. In China, you get used in standing closely to people who you’re talking to in chatting. Nevertheless, if you do like this in America, people who you’re talking with will not be at ease. He will think you’re impolite. Besides, it’s a bad manners to ask people’s name the first time you meet him which makes he think your behavior is invasion of privacy. What’s more, Americans prefer to frame theirselves with body languages so as to present their minds powerfully. What you must learn are some fundamental gestures if you want to carry on a fluently conversation. By contraries, Chinese are fond of standing closely to people in order to present kindness.There are also many other differences in customs. For an instance, people are very informal in social situations in America. For example, they call each other by given names when they meet for the first time, including the young to the old. In China, however, this will be regarded as quite impolite. Besides, it’s quite all right to ask a Chinese the cost of his possessions while it’s quite rude to do in America.Only if we have a good knowledge of differences in customs between America and China can we avoid many misunderstandings and get on well with each other.。

American character and habits[Abstract]Cultural differences, the first in customs. Culture shock is due to customs difference. Therefore, the United States to study cultural adaptation, the first to understand and adapt to American customs. Romans, can adapt to American culture, but also on various occasions that allow them to avoid making inappropriate moves, let you feel down or embarrassed. Arriving in the United States, nervous excitement is inevitable, and will be very excited; you hope to be able to quickly melt into American society. Asking someone else more for you to solve cultural barriers and see more and hear more can open imports to independent proactive attitude to overcome initial challenges. Make foreign friends, broaden their horizons, and improve English proficiency. The more opportunities to solve problems independently, English is also more rapid progress. Rights and obligations of the United States is a clear, customer-oriented society, and you try to express your displeasure, and correct their mistakes.[Key Words]American character; Habits; Get along with AmericanEvery nation has its own unique personality; people often talk about British modesty, French romance, Japanese Woman's supple, etc. Similarly, the American character has its distinctive features.Americans are generally cheerful, sociable, informal etiquette. The first meeting is not necessarily shake hands, sometimes just smile, and say "Hi" or "Hello" is even polite. Americans generally shake hands with women gently. In farewell, they just waved to you or said "goodbye", "See you tomorrow." But if others bow to them, they also use the appropriate etiquette, such as shaking hands, nodding, hugging, and salute and so on. When you first make an American friend, he will tell be talking with you even forever. More glances to strangers with no intention when you walk in the street, he might smiling nod to you, or call out "hello"; if your car broke down on the road, the enthusiastic people help you repair; if you got lost in the streets, and people were eager to help you.Americans do things fast-paced make visitors feel puzzled, and the first impression is probably all of them are Americans rush. It becomes very impatient even if they are blocking a moment, At first, you might think this is unfriendly to you. The bus drivers urge you; shop assistant hurried to treat you; Y ou buy something or go out to eat, no one told you joking greeting. Do not think that Americans are in such a hurry to you expressed unfriendly. Typically, outside the large cities have slower paceof life; in fact, other countries also have same phenomenon.They find out you were a stranger, most will be friendly and try to help you. If you need help or would like to ask what the problem is, you may find kind man, and say to him: "I was out of town, can you help me?"At this point, most people would stop and give you a smile pointing way or reply to your question. But you have to let them know you need help, otherwise they will probably come from your side. Occasionally you will encounter a hurry to act them too busy or can not help you. In such circumstances, you do not be discouraged, just get somebody else. Most Americans are willing to help foreign visitors.Americans do not like to be subordinated to others when dealing with each other and do not like people too polite to compliment yourself. Americans are worried about the entry of others deemed unapproachable been isolated which mean loneliness campaign failed to politicians.Therefore, Americans make friends and hope to give people a good impression, but can often lack the kind of heart-familiar.The second feature of the American character is independent and enterprising. They do not like to depend on others, do not like people dependent on them; develop independently from the urine of Americans struggle; do not rely on their parents. On the street, every morning you can see eleven-year-old boy delivering newspapers door to door regardless of wind and thunder rain.They will come up the social life of great benefits. the results obtained by their own scholarships or work part time earn tuition. They have to leave their parents live on their own when they are in adulthood;Once you get married, they even move about independently, rely on their own ability in the United States. Y oung couples have children and tend completely on their own instead of expecting grandmother or grandmother to take care of grandchildren. However, these independent spirits in the United States tend to become old tragedy.A third characteristic of the American character is pragmatic.They did not like the French like rambling fantasy, like the British did not speak panache to face.They admired the kind of savvy stronger than man. They can solve many things on their own. Most Americans know how to use the machine, repair of electrical equipment, furniture, paint and stucco walls. They believe that doing these menial jobs in life is granted. On the contrary, those nerds, fake gentleman, talkative short lines will be made fun of.American way of thinking has a big difference from which we had. English is this expression: 1) Like to be different; 2) Agree to disagree; 3) Everything is above board."Disabled priority, ladies first, the elderly priority, children first" is the American habit. Because they are vulnerable, people deserve health care. Americans do things all in regulations. Therefore, the queue becomes their established habits. Y ou have to wait until he or she calls you when it's your turn, and you can cross the yellow line toreceive services. Otherwise you will be criticized.Americans dressed very casually. They usually wear very little when the weather is hot, and a windbreaker or denim fabric is wrapped when it is cold. Only in formal occasion wear suits, skirts and other more formal clothes.Therefore, important events should pay attention to the dress code on the invitation. If you are unsure clothing requirements, they may first ask the other participants.Americans love to develop a healthy habit. Americans would say when you are walking on the streets in the United States for a week, and your shoes do not rub. Y ou go to school, and feel thirsty, you can drink tap water. After eating, the customer will consciously take home in doggy bags. And try not to make noise when eat dinner. No littering, spitting chaos.Americans use body potential language than we do. Shrug and face with unhappy expression expresses surprise and shrugging and smiling means sure. Thumb and forefinger form the number "6", which means "consent." Americans speak, move the body all the time, but without losing the sense of humor, you have to pay attention. Speech, the body can not give back, not too far away from the speaker should face each other. Thumb and index finger rubbing beep expresses encouragement, support, or having a new idea. Hands crossed together or on the waist pledge to fight pose. A palm facing up to greet people coming back and forth movement represents.With American friends shaking hands should be hard not too small, otherwise there is impolite suspected. The Americans are language-rich, sometimes hand catch to your shoulders, which means that affirmation and encouragement. Chinese people are more conservative character and difficult to greet strangers, but a greeting after he thought had friendship with each other. As everyone knows, the greetings and friendship between Americans is nothing. Americans understand this custom, on the one hand to learn their culture greetings, good morning, good afternoon, good night, thank you, I'm sorry all day. We must also recognize that the United States is owned greetings and friendship.Generally speaking, Americans do not receive gifts. Some receiving gifts often seem somewhat embarrassed. But birthdays, weddings or patient visits, gifts or inevitable.In addition, the Americans believe that the singular is auspicious. Sometimes only get three pears not feel happy, it is unlike the Chinese people pay attention to pairs. Americans received a gift, be sure to immediately open----at the front of the giver's face -----appreciate gift or sample and immediately thanks to the giver.In the United States, if you want to visit, you must first make a call the appointment. If the owner please resumes your seat, you not sit down immediately in order to express polite, but will make the owner feel uneasy, thinking chair unclean or other inconveniences. When a guest is not free to watch the master table of the wordof paper or read files. Do not fondle indoor antique curios, not to ask the price of indoor appliances.Do not smoke. If you want to smoke, you should first ask here whether they mind if the owner initiative to invite you to smoke, even if they have a smoke, has to accept the owner's smoke, rather than reject each other and suck their own. Otherwise, the owner will think that you are looking down on him and feel very happy.Do not leave immediately after a meal and the owner should have a chat for a while, and then leave. If it is someone's home to go to a couple of guests, leave to stand by his wife first. In more formal banquet, if more guests, you should wait a bit high elderly guests or important ladies first left after he will leave. If guests need something to go ahead, the owner should ask forgiveness before leaving. If you are not familiar with the owner, then a stranger after a call to the owner should be thanked, or write a "thank you" sent to the owner of the short Cambodia, so that the more comprehensive the courtesy.More open exchanges between American men and women. Dating men and women sometimes do not have other meanings, does not mean that will become a special partner. Therefore, if you want to meet someone to talk or watch movies, eat, in order to enhance mutual friendship and spend a pleasant time, as proposed initiative generous, both men and women can take the initiative to offer. Of course, there are some rules of dating American men and women, especially in the beginning stages. If you want to invite an American girl eating alone, please be sure to point the different meanings lunch and dinner.In general, the more casual lunch, easily accepted; dinner more seriously, after a meal may be further developed. So the first invitation, it is best to eat lunch as easily. Chinese female students as male students invited by the United States, also pay attention to different lunch and dinner. If you do not want to go to each other's appointments or make you uncomfortable with the move, you can kind but surely declined. In the United States, mutual respect is the basic principles of engagement, but also rights.The United States obey law, human rights in the country. Their values are equal and free. Therefore, marriage depends on the foundation that equality, mutual respect and preservation of privacy. Americans can have their marriage before several heterosexual friends, but after they get married to each other do not want to get involved in each of the opposite sex friends, once found, the divorce was inevitable. According to the U.S. habit, all important social events, banquets or parties held between friends, the couple attended together. I have found that American couples have a double into the right, very loving. However, the American divorce rate is high, which about 60% of the world's highest divorce rate in the country. It was the Americans marriage summarized twenty words: romantic teenager, passionate youth, middle-aged faithful, tragically old age.Of course, the white-collar marriage isrelatively stable.About money, Americans and the Chinese people have different attitude. Americans are generous to themselves, but to others, Americans are surprisingly careful, and don’t want to spend even a penny. On the contrary, the Chinese people liking to save are famous, and often conscious of their spending, but perhaps due to face relationship, a friend has been more generous. Together with the Americans to eat outside, pay each general account, even though they are women is also true.Even if the Americans propose to dinner, but also do not think that he or she is going to treat, and it is often still their pay. The Chinese people "who suggested who pays" habits are very different.In the U.S., it is best not to borrow money,even if you have to, because it is often denied. Of course, a little money can still be borrowed. However, Americans do have the habit of donations; many Americans donated large sums of money each year. This is very different from the Chinese people.Americans are also very pragmatic in terms of money. So they respect labor and remuneration calculation clearly. Friends went out to dinner, which is usually the payment of money;Tipping although the behavior of free evaluation of evidence, but there is the customary one, it is best to ask customs before entry. Generally speaking, tipping is about ten to fifteen percent or so in restaurant.But do not need to eat in the cafeteria to tip, if someone poured tea and inquired diligently demand, then according to the number of discretionary tip. Evening dining tip needed more than during the day. Tipping is an assessment of service quality; some waiters to will show particularly enthusiastic for tips. Remember never to penny tip, when the penny thrown on the table, even though you pay a lot of tips, is likely to be dissatisfied with the waiter misunderstood as their service is a humiliating manner.Unless the service is really bad, never be placed in the tip of any penny. Of course, if you pay by credit card, and the amount will be rounded tips and dining, it is not in this case.Americans see work as part of life. Despite they are wealthy; they have to have their own job. Their work is very professional, work efficiency is high. They think that wasting time is not idle. Working time and leisure time are entirely different. Americans like to talk about "the dignity of work".America's leading CEOs such a class may participate in any physical labor. They will be respected by others rather than look down.Americans work and rest time is very distinct. Business should be completed within the time at work.Americans prefer face to face or on the table in the negotiations finalized.Friday night is the night of friends get together, they can enjoy singing, dancing, drinking, playing games and other recreational activities. On Saturday, they took a family member or three or five friends drove to the outside world to play.Most shops open Monday through Saturday, half past nine or ten o'clock to 5:00pm, or about six. Some of the shops in the mall is open until nine p.m. Sunday will be open from noon until six later.Banking hours are relatively short, mostly Monday to Friday nine o'clock to 3:30 pm, some banks will extend the hours until Friday 6:00 pm Saturday morning. Regardless of companies and business firms, shopping centers, schools, generally there is no lunch break. The students have the habit of taking a nap are more difficult to adapt. Everyday life in the United States, Email has become the most practical, the most common means of communication. Communication between teachers and students in school, class, and usually use it to change jobs. Schools are used Email meeting notice.Major holidays: New Y ear's, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day (Commemorating U.S. President George Washington and Abraham Lincoln's birthday), National Day (Independence Day), Labor Day, Columbus Day, V eterans Day, Election Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day.Generally they are willing to entertain guests in their own homes, rather than customary dinner in a restaurant.Do not like steamed and braised dishes. Do not like too hot dishes like salt taste, avoid salty taste, slightly to the sweet side as well. Like to drink Coca-Cola, beer, ice, mineral water, whiskey, brandy and so on. Do not like the people in their own meal dish leftover food, which is considered impolite. Like China's Jiangsu, Sichuan, Cantonese cuisine.Do not put blacks in the United States called "Negro", preferably use "Black". Blacks on this call will readily accept. Negro mainly refers to trafficking to the United States from Africa as slaves’blacks. Otherwise, blacks will feel indemnity for his contempt.Understanding the Americans customs need daily accumulation. American universities or student research group often hold communicative activities or picnics, graduate had been invited. But the Chinese students often do not participate actively. In fact, this is not only an understanding of professors and students opportunity, but also a good occasion to understand American customs.If it is possible, and try to attend these activities. If you live in the United States home, there are more opportunities to exchanges with the Americans, and have a deeper understanding of the American way of life, customs, habits and values.In order to save the money, Chinese students often shared with others, many of whom are American roommate. This is also a good way to understand American culture.People often say: "do as the Romans."In fact, it is quite difficult to do. Some people suggested that Chinese students lose their cultural baggage, and adapt to the American culture, social and educational environment. Indeed, the vast majority of Chinese students to the United States, more or less have to do some cultural adjustments to adapt to the United States learning and living environment. But adapting to American culture completely, and give Chinese culture up, and may alsohave to be carefully considered. In fact, more than twenty years of the Chinese student in the United States, it is difficult to give up Chinese culture. The correct attitude is a positive awareness and understanding of Americans and American society, and do not need to give up your culture. Y ou're still a Chinese person, but an understanding of the United States, to know how to live in the United States.[Reference Materials]1、国人的性格(2012-01-04 10:23:22) 美国人尼亚加拉大瀑布夏威夷岛性格杂谈2、美国习俗礼仪：生活礼仪 2008年09月18日新浪教育美国人的生活礼仪3、美国人的生活习惯/syy/yywh/201107/22676.html。

Simple as the saying is, it informs us that one doesn’t need to worry about the future if he can seize the moment.It is generally believed that taking immediate action is of great importance.

浙江省杭州市塘栖中学高中英语 American eating教学素材新人教版必修3

浙江省杭州市塘栖中学高中英语 American eating教学素材新人教版必修3American eating is funny. They eat almost everything with a fork, and it appears that holding a knife in one's right hand longer than a few seconds is considered to be against good table manners.The system is that if it is absolutely necessary to use a knife, people take the fork in their left hand, and cut off a piece of meat or whatever it is in the normal manner. Then they put the knife down, transfer the fork to their right hand, and only then do they transport the food to their mouth. This is clearly ludicrous(滑稽可笑), but it is considered good manners.There are several results of this system. First, if it is not absolutely necessary to use a knife, Americans don't use one, because obviously this greatly complicates(使复杂化) things, and you will therefore see them trying to cut things like potatoes, fish and even bacon(熏猪肉) with a fork. Second, towards the end of a course, since only one implement(器具) is being used, food has to bo chased around the plate with the fork — and for the last mouthful the thumb has to be used to keep the food in place, although one is not supposed to do this.Third, tables are generally laid with one knife and two forks, the outside fork being for the salad. There is no need for foreign visitors to follow the American system and try to eat the salad with only a fork, but if you do use your knife, remerber to save it for the meat course. Even desserts(甜食) (except ice cream) are eaten with a fork if at all possible, and the spoon you see by your dessert is meant to be for coffee (but if you use it for your dessert no one will say anything).Some Breakfast Dishes 早餐食谱Breakfast in a restaurant is a very enjoyable experience. If you order eggs in a restaurant, the waiter/waitress will ask you how you want them . You can reply that you want them "scrambled(炒)" or "boiled". It is not sufficient, however, to ask for them "fried"; you will have to specify whether you would prefer them "sunny-side-up" (煎一面), "over"(两面煎), "over-easy/easy-over"(两面煎，但蛋黄仍然呈流体状).American sausage(香肠) comes in slices and is quite spicy. But you can also have link sausage.American bacon comes in small strips, can be rather fat, and is served crispy. It is usually very tasty, and you can eat it with your fingers."Hash brows"(油炸土豆片) are shredded(切成碎片的) and fried potatoes. They are wonderful, especially with fried eggs and ketchup(蕃茄酱)."Pancakes", sometimes called "hot cakes", are made with baking power. They are normally served in a pile, and you are supposed to put butter and syrup(果浆) on them."Jelly"(果子冻) is jam and includes grape jelly, which is very tasty.Toast is often served already buttered."English muffins(松饼)" are like small crumpets(烤饼) without the holes and are served toasted. You put jam on them.A "biscuit"(软饼) is a snall, scone-like bread roll, often served hot.Orange juice and coffee are often serced with breakfast.- 1 -。

Christmas pudding is a steamed pudding, heavy with dried fruit and nuts, and usually made with suet. It is very dark in appearance - effectively black - as a result of the dark sugars and black treacle in most recipes, and the long cooking. The mixture can be moistened with the juice of citrus fruits, brandy and other alcohol (some recipes call for dark beers such as mild, stout or porter).
Thanksgiving feast
In the United States, certain kinds of food are traditionally served at Thanksgiving meals. Firstly, baked or roasted turkey is usually the featured item on any Thanksgiving feast table (so much so that Thanksgiving is sometimes referred to as "Turkey Day"). Stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, sweet corn, other fall vegetables, and pumpkin pie are commonly associated with Thanksgiving dinner. All of these are actually native to the Americas or were introduced as a new food source to the Europeans when they arrived. As an alternative to turkey, many vegetarians or vegans eat Tofurky, a meatless turkey made of tofu.

IntroductionAs we know, with the entrance of the 21st century, cross-cultural communication has been a more and more popular activity even among common people. However, because of the differences of areas and environments and customs, different nations have formed their specific cultures. Among the four aspects of clothing, eating, housing and behaving, Chinese people have got closer and closer to American in other three aspects except in eating. It is only in the aspect of eating that Chinese people have the biggest difference with American. Food culture is an important component of the national cultures. It also plays an essential role in non-verbal cultures in cross-cultural communication. China has a long and rich history on its food culture. In China almost everything is closely related to eating. For example, when Chinese people meet, they will ask ‘Have you eaten yet’ to replace American’s ‘Hello or How are you’. It is very interesting prologue in the world.Meanwhile, American food culture is not as developed as that of China and Western countries are not that particular about cooking as China. Knowing the differences of food cultures between China and American is good for English learners to have more complete understanding of both eastern and western cultures and it also increases the chance of success in cross-cultural communication, and helps people avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. The most important thing is that we can get more chance with our international trade and so on.II. Chinese and American Food Culture2.1Characteristics of Chinese food culture“Chinese Civilization is more than 5,000 years old and has made numerous significant contributions in agriculture, the arts, religion and philosophy, and warfare”. (Food and Culture, 2004) In this culture, it makes China contain more expansive and profound food culture. It has experienced several thousand years of history development, and has become one of the most important Chinese traditional cultures of department. China’s landscape is dominated by two rivers (The Yellow River in the north and the Chang Jiang River in the south). The north plain through which the Yellow River flows agriculturally very fertile; its main food is wheat, sorghum and so on. However, in the south the Chang Jiang River flow take rice as main food. The difference is not only at the main food, it is also with cuisines. There are Shandongcuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, Guangdong cuisine and Sichuan cuisine. These four major cuisines have different features, but in common is with making complex fastidious, the product methods are very complex, and have a great diversity of taste and dishes, this is amazing. Because of our vast land, there are differences in climate, products and custom in every place. For a long time, on food was formed many flavor. Chinese people generally believe that it is sour in east, hot in west, sweet in south and salty in north. On the other hand, all the year round, according to season for eat is a feature in China’s cooking. Since ancient times, our country has been according to season changes to taste, and dishes. Winter taste strong, summer flavor cleaner; in the winter more braised stews, summer more cold. It is unbelievable.In the long-term development, evolution and accumulation process, Chinese people gradually formed its own unique food folk from many aspects, such as diet structure, food production, food utensils, nutrition healthy and diet aesthetic, this created a diet with unique flavor of the Chinese food culture, become a pearl of the world food culture. In a word, more and more people think that eating is not only a way of filling one's stomach but also a way of enjoyment.2.2 Characteristics of the American food cultureThe United Stated is the national big melting pot, even the food is not exceptional also, for example, the list of Wisconsin sausage, inherits the German sausage is traditional, and other including Mexican strong meat volume, as well as contains the meters, macaroni salad and all kinds of fish, meat of Hawaii fast food, are the prime example of American food as well as within. As for Mexico cornflakes, is of the food with corn snacks made pie, quite has the characteristics of the United States. In addition, sweet has maple syrup and banana boat on both, banana boat added much cream, chocolate sauce and cherry, is the United States carry forward sweet. Soup flavor, however, is the okra soup. Because the main U.S. immigration come from England, so American food is base on British food and developed. Another, American history is short, and it is less with traditional and conservative idea. At the same time, American gets rich agricultures from local. Based on the above, the United States has formed a unique characteristic with food culture. Rational Americans pay more attention to the nutrition and survival. Due to the different philosophical thoughts of Chinese and American, American in food takes the science, takes the science about nutrition, so the nutrition is the supreme principle in the western diet. Americans on the go also t end to eat a lot of “junk food”, like potato chips, candy bars, soft drinks and other goodies are popular treats. Many people eat too many of these unhealthy snacks. But others option for more healthy eating habits. Some even go "all natural" they refuse to eat any food prepared with chemicals or additives.III. Differences between Chinese and American Food Culture3.1Differences between Chinese and American food conceptAs a Chinese saying goes, Min yi shi wei tian. It shows the importance of eating in the mind of Chinese people. Chinese people take a good meal as a pursuit of art of beauty. This even can be seen from TV programs. The most well-known program is A Bite of China (she jian shang de zhong guo) from CCTV. It is very popular in China and it is said that the second season will be launched soon. Now people can watch TV programs such as Aoshaoaoshao about cooking on TV every day. Chinese people are particularly interested in eating. The pursuit of enjoyment in food has almost reached to a height that can’t be higher. At the same time, people try their best to perfect a dish not only from color but also from incense, taste and shape. It means that the dish has to have the look beautiful, smell good and taste delicious. Beauty appearance can promote better appetite and enjoy the meal. Therefore, the chefs match the colors of food carefully and rack their brains; there are main colors and sub-colors. Sometimes, there are green, red, purple and other variety colors with cool color and warm color. This makes the dinner look colorful. Therefore, in China, the housewife always takes one to two hours to prepare the meal; it is amazing in United States. But we have to specifically point out that with the popularized of food TV, people pursuit nutritive food than before. It is lucky.In addition, the dinner environment is more and more important. For example, rural style restaurant, European flavor, and so on.But as we know, the United States is a fast speed country so that the fast food is the most popular in the world. The representative is KFC and McDonald’s. American pay little attention to the shape, color and taste of a dish but focus on much more on nutrition instead of amount of protein, fat, heat and vitamin. They think that whether the dish has an appropriate collocation of nutrition, whether the amount of calories is moderate, and whether the nutrition can be fully absorbed. American emphasize on the original flavor and nutrition of food. Therefore, they adopt fresh raw materials and try to keep their original nutrition and taste as much as possible when they cook them. Even though the dishes are bitter to eat they will eat them provided they contain lots of nutrition.3.2 Differences between Chinese and American food objectsAmerican believes that cuisine is the longing, so only eat of meat, chicken like this "hard food"; while Chinese cuisine is "taste".The traditional Chinese food is low in fat and diet products and high in complex carbohydrates and sodium. The Chinese customarily eat three meals per day, plus numerous snacks. Breakfast often includes the hot rice or millet porridge, congee, orhot steamed bread, deep-fried crullers, dumplings or noodles and so on; sometimes there are fish, meat, soup or vegetables. Lunch and supper is formally, especially supper. Chinese family will eat together and chat at the table. They will eat rice, meat, soup, fish and vegetable is very important, Chinese think Vegetables contain abundant dietary fiber which can keep them healthy. Chinese traditional diet custom is plant food is given priority to. Staple food is corn, and auxiliary food is vegetables, plus a small amount of meat. The main reason of this custom is in the central plains in agricultural production as the main way of economic production. With hot food, cooked food is given priority to, also is an important characteristic of Chinese eating customs. This civilization and China's early and cooking technology developed.American adhering to the nomads, sailing nation's cultural heritage, with fishing and hunting, farming, traditional diet custom is given priority to with animal food. It is complementary to collect and planting and, Americans eat more non-vegetarian food. High quantity of heat, high fat diet structure adapted to the high latitudes of geography and climate.The United Stated seldom eats pork and they never eat abdominal organs which can be made into delicious food in China. Furthermore, American also does not eat animal skin because it is high in cholesterol. China exports frozen chicken but imports chickens feet at the same time. Chicken feet contain only bones except skin. The United Stated does not eat them so they sell them to Chinese in a low price. And Chinese people give a very beautiful name to chicken foot that is Fengzhua (phoenix foot).3.3Differences between Chinese and American food manner, tableware, etiquette 3.3.1 Diet mannerChinese and American diet manner is quite different from the way that such differences also have an impact on the national character. Chinese manners pay more attention to diet custom; please don't violate taboos, because in the Chinese, diet is closely related to personal destiny. If you break the taboo, it will bring bad luck. For example, eat fish, when finished eating one side body, don't use chopsticks the whole fish flip to the other side, they think that if fish broken body, it means that fishing boat will sink. In addition, should avoid the chopsticks while eating met the dishes and make a sound, it is not only impolite symbol, also means that no food to eat. In China, it is one form that they were sitting around with round table, sharing one seat with all banquets. The Chinese state that this diet form expresses an atmosphere of unity, politeness and delight. The Chinese traditional habits eat three meals a day eat much.On the contrary, freedom American is individual serving when they eating, they can eat what something, and it also showed respect on the personality. Americans focus on a healthy diet concept, for example, their dishes is less salt, it is reported thatAmerican dishes in salt intake is less than Chinese and, the American housewife don't love with the fire to cook. Meanwhile, there is a sharp contrast that Americans food is more temperate, even festival or entertains guests; the food is not much more than usual dishes.3.3.2 Diet tablewareWith the diet tableware, the differences are more obvious. As we know, in China, chopsticks are the mainly tableware, supplemented by the spoon, and a variety of the shape of the cup, bowl, dish and placemat.Americans use metal knife and fork and a variety of cup, plate, cup, dish and placemat. Among them, a disc, milk pudding tray, plate, butter dish, etc. Goblet is more exquisite, the people have to change special goblet when the new wine come on the banquet.Chopsticks, knife and fork as the most representative east and west two kind of tableware, affected the eastern and western different way of life, representing different two kind of wisdom. American eats separately, thus derived they pay attention to independent and children grow up to have the idea of "independence and habits. But the Chinese pay attention to together, highlighting the young and old to live with the family members, then the Chinese have the strong family values.3.3.3 Diet etiquetteIn etiquette, both in the west and Chinese are even more different. Chinese focuses on sharing, so when people eat together, not just eat their own interests. If you eat with others, you must check the hands clean. Do not put extra food into the dish, and do not post occupied food. And the master will pick up something into the guest’s bowl over and over again. Meanwhile, please do not beat the bowl or dish with chopsticks, as Chinese think only a beggar knocked at the bowl. And please do not put the chopsticks in the rice vertically, it means to go to the tombs of the deceased. Thirdly, if you talk with others, please put down your chopsticks, do not wave the chopsticks and point others with chopsticks. At the same time, when the Chinese meal, they like vibrant, and you must make noise while eating, for example you eat noodle, Chinese people think that it is compliment to master cooking skills. Simultaneous, in China, the seat position is stressed. They are valued with south and lowly with north, value with man and lowly with woman.However, it is different with the United States banquet, the master generally pick up the dish only once for the guests, and the remaining self-consumption by the guests, if guests do not eat, you should not let them to eat. When people eating, do not make the noise, but the guests should pay attention to appreciate the food by the master. If talking to people, only overstated with your neighbors, do not talk to people with the distance. With the tableware etiquette, there are also some differences with Chinese. Ifyou talk with others, please put down your knife and fork, do not wave the knife and fork, and the knife edge toward yourself, fork toward the left, it is to ensure the safety of take. With the seat position, the principle is men in one side and the women in the other side of table, and the couple sit in diagonal, it show the open and lively with American diet and party.IV. Reasons for the Differences between Chinese and American Food Culture4.1 The impact of the geographical environmentChina is the closed continental geographical, due to the limited environment, Chinese people like ancients experience. The people lack of curiosity about the new things, and also they lack of interest in the new things. It is entrenched. So the Chinese food have the regional characteristics, different places have the different mainly food. It is nandaobeimai.(South is rice and north is wheat). As we know, different temperature causes different crops. Northern people like to eat noodle. And the food of southern is based on the plant; they mainly eat rice and drink soup.4.2 The impact of the economic systemThe majority of America is in the open ocean environment of geography, open environment causes open mind and horizon. As we know, the United States is a multi-ethnic country, and his food culture absorbed the essence of many countries and regions in the world. They have valued the study of natural objects, and they are good at exploring the unknown things. At the same time, they pay more attention to the space expansion and they like to eat the meat and fish.V. ConclusionFrom this paper, we can easily find that there still exist various differences between Chinese and American food cultures and they have their own strengths. But with the development of cultural communication between China and America, along with the strengthening of communication between China and America, China has imported various kinds of American food, known as the KFC, McDonald. These mark a new American food culture exchanges and infiltration.Followed the economic globalization and the accelerated flow of information changes, Chinese and American food culture will be continued integration in the collision, complement each other in the fusion. It is good news that Chinese food now has begun focus on food, nutrition, health, the science of cooking, western food also begun to develop from the realm of Chinese food’s color, smell, taste and meaning. Chinese and western food culture will be developed in common communicate. This will play a significant role to promote the communication of culture in the world.VI. References1.

中美饮食文化英文版

"There is no American food. When we begin to list American foods, either we talk about regional things like lobster or shrimp Creole, or we talk about spaghetti and pizza and hot dogs...One could argue it's what makes us great. The fact that we don't have a cuisine is a measure of our democracy and of our ethnic heterogeneity." —Sidney Mintz, Anthropologist
Long before Europeans set foot on American soil, vibrant and healthy civilizations nurtured themselves off the bounty of the land. They taught the settlers to plant the holy trinity of Native American cuisine — corn, beans and squash. The settlers returned the favor by nearly exterminating their benefactors, but those three foods played a vital role in defining American cuisine. They retain their importance today across the continent — grits, cornbread and hoppin' john in the South, tortillas and pinto beans in the Southwest, baked beans and succotash in the Northeast and pumpkin pie just about everywhere for Thanksgiving.

英国人和美国人的饮食区别英语作文

英国人和美国人的饮食区别英语作文The Dietary Differences between British and AmericansThe cuisine of Britain and America, two nations with rich historical and cultural backgrounds, exhibits distinct yet fascinating differences. Understanding these disparities not only enriches our understanding of their respective cultures but also provides insights into the diverse eating habits of people across the globe.British cuisine, often described as "traditional and comforting," is known for its emphasis on simple yet flavorful ingredients. Classic dishes such as fish and chips, roast beef, and shepherd's pie are staples of the British diet. These dishes are often served with vegetables and potatoes, reflecting the country's agricultural heritage. Tea, a national institution in Britain, is enjoyed throughout the day, often alongside a slice of cake or a scone.In contrast, American cuisine is known for its diversity and innovation. Drawing influences from various cultures and historical migrations, American food encompasses a wide range of flavors and ingredients. From the south's famous barbecue and soul food to the Italian-inspired pizzas and pastas of thenorth, American cuisine offers a taste of something for everyone. Fast food, a significant part of the American diet, has also become a global phenomenon, with brands like Burger King and McDonald's recognized worldwide.These dietary differences can be traced back to the historical, geographical, and cultural differences between the two nations. Britain's islands location and maritime history have influenced its cuisine, leading to a heavy reliance on seafood and a preservation of traditional recipes passed down through generations. On the other hand, America's diverse population and melting pot culture have fostered a cuisine that is both inclusive and innovative.In conclusion, the dietary differences between the British and Americans are as fascinating as they are diverse. From the comforting traditional dishes of Britain to the diverse and innovative flavors of America, these two cuisines offer a glimpse into the rich cultures and histories of their respective nations. Understanding these differences not only enhances our appreciation for food but also broadens our understanding of the world's diverse eating habits.。

中美两国的饮食差异英语作文

中美两国的饮食差异英语作文English: Chinese and American diets differ greatly in terms of ingredients, cooking methods, portion sizes, and meal times. Chinese cuisine tends to feature more vegetables, rice, noodles, and seafood, while American dishes emphasize meat and dairy products. In terms of cooking methods, Chinese cuisine often involves stir-frying, steaming, and boiling, while American cuisine commonly includes grilling, frying, and baking. Portion sizes in America are typically larger than those in China, leading to concerns about obesity and overeating. Additionally, meal times vary between the two countries, with Americans typically eating three larger meals a day, while the Chinese traditionally eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the day. Despite these differences, both Chinese and American cuisines offer a diverse range of flavors and dishes that reflect the unique cultural traditions and regional specialties of each country.中文翻译: 中国和美国的饮食在食材、烹饪方式、食量和用餐时间上有很大的差异。

刀叉和筷子英语比较作文

刀叉和筷子英语比较作文In the realm of dining utensils, the fork and knife, commonly referred to as cutlery, and the chopstick, are two distinct tools that have been developed across different cultures to serve the purpose of eating. This essay aims to compare the use of these two sets of utensils in the context of English language and cultural practices.The fork and knife, emblematic of Western dining, are tools that have evolved over centuries to suit the diverse culinary traditions of the Americas and Europe. The fork, with its prongs, allows for the secure grasping of food, while the knife, with its sharp edge, is used for cutting through various textures. In American English, the term "cutlery" is used to describe the collective set of these tools, highlighting their importance in meal preparation and consumption.The use of cutlery in American dining is governed by a set of etiquette rules that have been ingrained in the culture. For instance, the fork is typically held in the left hand and the knife in the right, a practice that dates back to medieval times. The American approach to dining with cutlery is often seen as a reflection of the culture's emphasis on individualism and personal space, as each person uses their own set of tools to consume food.On the other hand, chopsticks, which are predominantlyused in Asian cultures, are a pair of slender sticks, usually made from bamboo, wood, or plastic, that are held in one hand to pick up food. In English, the term "chopsticks" is used to describe these utensils, which are a hallmark of communal dining experiences. Chopsticks require a certain level of dexterity and coordination to use effectively, and they are often seen as a symbol of harmony and balance, as they are used to share dishes in a group setting.The chopstick culture in English-speaking countries is often associated with the art of eating, where the utensils are not just tools but also an extension of the hand. The use of chopsticks is also indicative of the cultural emphasis on finesse and subtlety, as they are adept at handling delicate foods that might be difficult to cut or pick up with a fork and knife.In conclusion, the fork and knife, as well as chopsticks, are not just tools for eating but also cultural symbols that reflect the values and practices of their respective societies. While cutlery in American English represents a more individualistic and direct approach to dining, chopsticks embody a collective and nuanced way of engaging with food. Both sets of utensils have their unique characteristics and are integral to the culinary traditions they represent.。
