British Table Manners-One of the things that sets us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom is the ability to eat with cutlery; unfortunately it’s not unusual for cutlery to be used in such a way as to question that belief. Whilst in the process of writing this page I went to my local pub and saw two young men each eat their whole meal without even unwrapping their cutlery from its serviette. So point one is a very basic but necessary one.∙Use cutlery to eat your meals.∙Keep your mouth closed when chewing.∙Finish one mouthful before starting the next.∙Never put your knife in your mouth, or lick your plate.∙Do not speak with your mouth full.∙Unless there is an imminent threat of the theft of your meal take your time and enjoy it, you are not just filling up a hole. Overly bulging hamster cheeks arenot attractive.∙Finish your mouthful before taking a drink.∙Never spit food out.∙If you always eat off of your lap in front of the TV when at home try to make an effort to eat at the table once in a while.∙Make time for family meals, family is the building block of society, eating together is fundamental, after all we are sociable animals.∙Break your bread into small pieces with your fingers and butter it one piece at a time, your butter knife will normally be on your side plate (remember this ison your left) or next to it. The only time you should butter a piece of breadwithout breaking it is your toast at breakfast as it will normally have been cutin half for you.∙Do not scrape your plate with your cutlery.∙Never scoop food up with your fork the tines should always point downwards.∙Move your soup spoon from 6 o’clock to 12 o’clock when spooning up soup, when only a little is remaining, tilt the bowl away from you to enable you to finish it.∙Ask “May I get down please” if you’d like to leave the table early.Cutlery is a potential minefield all of its own, it is important that we know how to hold it and how to use it. The following photographs show the correct way to hold the various types of cutlery together with positions that your cutlery should be placed in when you have finished or are merely taking a rest. It is important to note that if you are taking a rest, no food is left on your fork.The place settings below are for a three course meal starting with soup, the first has the pudding cutlery alongside the crockery whereas the second has the pudding cutlery placed above; both are correct. The fundamental rule regarding the order of use ofcutlery is to work inwards from both sides./Table_Manners。

4. English Modesty
Within the English hearts, they are perhaps no less conceited than anybody else, but in their relations with others they value at least a show of modesty. Self-praise is felt to be impolite. If a person is very good at tennis and someone asks him if he is a good player, he will reply ？？ A: “Yes” B: “I‟m not bad” C: “I think I‟m very good” D: “Well, I‟m very keen on tennis.”
2. Conservativeness
The English people are generally regarded as conservative. Englishmen think their way of doing things is always the best, and always the most normal. Americans say that the English people always need 20 or 40 years to do things that they do today, because the English people are so conservative that they have to wait a long time before they are prepared to try something new.

These simple words are used in everyday interactions, from ordering coffee at a café to asking for directions on the street.Another important aspect of British etiquette is the concept of queuing. The British people take queuing very seriously and will patiently wait their turn in line, whether it is at a bus stop, in asupermarket, or at a ticket counter. Cutting in line is seen as rude and disrespectful, and is not tolerated in British society.In social situations, the British people value punctuality. It is important to arrive on time for appointments, meetings, and social gatherings. Being late is considered disrespectful and shows a lack of consideration for other people's time.When it comes to dining etiquette, the British are known for their formal table manners. It is common practice to hold cutlery properly, chew with their mouths closed, and avoid talking with food in their mouths. In formal settings, the British people may also use specific utensils for different courses and follow proper dining etiquette, such as placing their napkin on their lap and signaling when they have finished eating.In terms of greetings, the British people are known for their handshake. A firm handshake is seen as a sign of confidence and respect. When meeting someone for the first time, it is customary to shake hands and introduce oneself. In more formal settings, such as business meetings or interviews, a handshake is often accompanied by a polite greeting, such as "Nice to meet you" or "How do you do."Overall, etiquette is an important part of British culture and society. By following the unwritten rules of politeness andmanners, the British people maintain harmony and respect in their interactions with others. Whether it is saying "please" and "thank you," queuing in an orderly fashion, or practicing formal dining etiquette, the British people take pride in their etiquette and see it as a reflection of their values and upbringing.。

英国文化及中国文化对比英文

英国文化及中国文化对比英文

英国文化及中国文化对比英文The cultural differences between the United Kingdom andChina are significant and reflect the unique historical, social, political, and economic backgrounds of these two nations. Inthis essay, we will explore some of the main aspects that distinguish British and Chinese culture.One of the most apparent differences between these two cultures is language. While English is the official language in the United Kingdom, China has Mandarin Chinese as its official language, spoken by the majority of its population. The written forms of these languages also vastly differ, with English using the Latin alphabet and Chinese using logographic characters.Another notable contrast lies in the cultural attitude towards individualism and collectivism. The British culture emphasizes individualism, valuing personal achievement and independence. On the other hand, Chinese culture is collectivist, prioritizing the needs of the group over the individual. Confucian principles, such as filial piety and respect for authority, greatly influence Chinese society.Food is a significant aspect of both cultures, albeit with distinct characteristics. British cuisine is often associatedwith traditional dishes such as fish and chips, roast beef, and English breakfast. Chinese cuisine, on the other hand, isdiverse and varies greatly across regions. It is known for itsemphasis on fresh ingredients, distinctive flavors, and cooking techniques such as stir-frying and steaming.Cultural celebrations also differ between the UK and China. Chinese New Year is a major event in the Chinese calendar, marked with family reunions, fireworks, and elaborate lion dances. The British celebrate holidays such as Christmas, Easter, and Guy Fawkes Night with traditions such as decoratingChristmas trees, exchanging gifts, and attending family gatherings.Religion plays a significant role in both cultures as well. Christianity is the dominant religion in the UK, with various denominations present throughout the country. In contrast, China is known for its religious diversity, including Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Christianity among others. Traditional Chinese beliefs also involve ancestor worship and spiritual practices such as feng shui.Another difference lies in the cultural attitude towards hierarchy and social etiquette. British society values politeness, punctuality, and formal manners. In China, hierarchical relationships and social harmony are highly regarded. Respect for elders and authority figures isparticularly emphasized, and proper social etiquette is crucial.These examples highlight just a few of the many differences between British and Chinese culture. It is important to note,however, that these cultural distinctions should not be seen as inherently superior or inferior to one another. Instead, they reflect unique traditions and values that have evolved over centuries. Understanding and appreciating these cultural differences can foster mutual respect and better international relations between the UK and China.。

British Character

British Character

The English CharacterDue to the various geography, history and culture, any people in the world have their unique character. Britain is no exception. After several years of social change, they formed their own unique way of thinking and behavior, and are unlike other countries in the world. To sum up, there are several character traits.The English are generally regarded as the most boring people. They wear unimaginative formal clothes; they eat tasteless food, jogging and have a unique sense of humor. Usually, foreign visitors cannot understand such behaviors and British are described as conservative, reserved and indifference. In fact, the British are not very open or enthusiastic. They do not kiss or embrace even they do not say hello. They always keep a certain distance and are not willing to show their feelings and emotions. They even accuse others hypocrisy, because they might pointing at one person but abusing another. So, it is not easy to make a friend with British, but once you have a friend, this is a friend. They don't like any boasting, dress or speech. Sometimes they conceal their knowledge. A linguist, for example, may not mention his understanding of any foreigner language.The typical feature of the British is that they are educated, polite and considering the needs of others. The British are naturally polite and never tired in saying “Thank you”, “I'm sorry”, “Beg your pardon”. They are always busy in queuing, but also open the door for the person behind them. There is almost little noisy behavior, and no loud disputing in the street. People do not rush excitedly for seats in buses or trains, but take their seats in queues at bus stops in a quiet and orderly manner.On one hand, the British reputation in the world is started with the friendliest and helpful .On the other hand, British football fans are treated as hooligans and vandals, and are able to put the stadium into shreds. However, in generally, the British are polite. They care about the poor, because there are a lot of charity groups across theUK.“There is no place like home”, it describes the English people. The proverb exactly expresses the tradition that British people loving family. About 70% of British people have their own house. Most families have a garden, and the British people spend a lot of time taking care of the grass and flowers. Many houses, especially the older house, which are surrounded by hedges, is a symbol of British people that they want to protect the privacy of their desiring. “My home is my castle”, as we all know, the saying is to remind visitors, unless he is invited, or he could be taken as an intruder.British people love not only their home but also their pets. Many people keep dogs, cats and other animals at home. Their love for pets is somewhat crazy love. In the UK, the conditions of the animal rights group are better than anywhere else in the world. On the other hand, English people love to hunt some wild animals at the same time, such as the fox.Deciding typically British trait is not easy. Not all British people are cold, silent or boring, not all people are crazy like grass or animals. There is one common phenomenon, however, in the UK: a strong attachment to the tradition, and the hope to keep the uniqueness of their county. Some people say that British people living in the past, but they are in a pride of the past.邓文学1470967矿业工程。

British Cuisine and Table Manners in British

British Cuisine and Table Manners in British

British Cuisine and Table Manners in BritishBritain is a very gentle country. It gives me a feeling that it’s a beautiful castle in Grimm’s fairy tales. Its people are elegant graceful and dainty. In this castle, no flippancy no fuss, ease likes the air involving it. People live in slow rhythm. They devote particular care of work and rest. And from their exquisite cuisine we can see their elaborate life.British cuisine is the specific set of cooking traditions and practices associated with the United Kingdom. Historically, British cuisine means "unfussy dishes made with quality local ingredients, matched with simple sauces to accentuate flavor, rather than disguise it." However, British cuisine has absorbed the cultural influence of those that settled in Britain, producing hybrid dishes, such as the Anglo-Indian Chicken tikka masala, hailed as "Britain's true national dish".British cuisine has traditionally been limited in its international recognition to the full breakfast and the Christmas dinner. However, Celtic agriculture and animal breeding produced a wide variety of foodstuffs for indigenous Celts. Anglo-Saxon England developed meat and savoury herb stewing techniques before the practice became common in Europe. The Norman conquest introduced exotic spices into Great Britain in the Middle Ages. The British Empire facilitated a knowledge of India's elaborate food tradition of "strong, penetrating spices and herbs".The first recipe for ice cream was published in Mrs. Mary Eales's Receipts in London 1718. The 18th-century English aristocrat John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich is most renowned for the claim to have originated the modern concept of the sandwich which was named after him. It is said that he ordered his valet to bring him meat tucked between two pieces of bread, and because Montagu also happened to be the Fourth Earl of Sandwich, others began to order "the same as Sandwich!" . In 1767, Joseph Priestley invented carbonated water (also known as soda water), the major and defining component of most soft drinks.Each country within Britain has its own specialities. There are two traditional examples as follow:the Sunday roast:There are (at least) two opinions on the origins of the Sunday Roast. One holds that, during the industrial revolution, Yorkshire families left a cut of meat in the oven before going to church on a Sunday morning, which was then ready to eat by the time they arrived home at lunchtime.[1] The second opinion holds that the Sunday Roast dates back to medieval times, when the village serfs served the squire for six days a week. Then on the Sunday, after the morning church service, serfs would assemble in a field and practice their battle techniques and were rewarded with a feast of oxen roasted on a spit.It features a roasted joint, usually beef, lamb or chicken, served with assorted boiled vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Other prominent meals include fish and chips and the full English breakfast—consisting of bacon, grilled tomatoes, fried bread, black pudding, baked beans, fried mushrooms, sausages and eggs. Various meat pies are consumed such as steak and kidney pie, shepherd's pie, cottage pie, Cornish pasty and pork pie, the later of which is consumed cold.Christmas feast: Christmas pudding has its origins in medieval England.Sausages are commonly eaten, either as bangers and mash or toad in the hole. Lancashire hotpot is a well known stew. Some of the most popular cheeses are Cheddar and Wensleydale. Many Anglo-Indian hybrid dishes, curries, have been created such as chicken tikka masala and balti. Sweet English dishes include apple pie, mince pies, spotted dick, scones, Eccles cakes, pancakes, sponge cake, Battenberg cake, Jaffa cakes, trifle, custard, and sticky toffee pudding. Common drinks include tea, which became far more widely drunk due to Catherine of Braganza. The public house is an important aspect of British culture, and alcoholic drinks include wines and English beers such as bitter, mild, stout, and brown ale. Scottish cuisine includes Arbroath Smokie and Haggis; Irish cuisine features the Ulster fry and Irish Stew and Welsh cuisine is noted for Welsh rarebit. Whisky dates back to Ireland and Scotland in the Middle Ages, with each producing their own unique brand, Irish Whiskey and Scotch Whisky. On Christmas Day, turkey is traditionally served at dinner, and Christmas pudding for dessert. The 16th-century English navigator WilliamStrickland is credited with introducing the turkey into England, and his family coat of arms showing a turkey cock as the family crest, is one of the earliest known pictures of a turkey. Since being invented in London in the 1840s, Christmas crackers are an integral part of Christmas celebrations, often pulled before or after dinner, or at parties.Table Manner:From time to time -- perhaps at an important business dinner, a romantic date at an expensive restaurant, or a first dinner with the family of the person who may be "the One" -- it is necessary to display a more sophisticated knowledge of table etiquette.∙The fork is held in your left hand and the knife is held in your right when used at the same time. Hands should be kept close to the plate for cutting and scooping food; this should not be done in mid-air. It is bad manners to gesticulate with your knife and fork, and they should be put down when you reach for your glass, etc.∙You should hold your knife with the handle in your palm and your fork in the other hand with the tines (prongs) pointing downwards.∙Food should be cut "one piece at a time" directly prior to eating, and then consumed. You should not "carve up" multiple pieces and then proceed to eat them.∙If you're eating a dessert, your fork (if you have one) should be held in the left hand and the spoon in the right.∙When eating soup, you should hold your spoon in your right hand and tip the bowl away from you, scooping the soup in movements away from yourself. The soup spoon should never be put into the mouth, and soup should be sipped from the side of the spoon, not the end.∙It is not acceptable to use your fingers to push food onto your fork, nor to handle most food items. Some foods such as fruit, bread, sandwiches or burgers may be eaten using fingers, and fingers are mandatory for eating some items, such as asparagus spears, which are traditionally served with sauce on the side for dipping.∙If there are a number of knives or forks, start from the outside set working your way in as each course is served.∙Drinks should always be to the right of the plate with the bread plate to the left.∙When eating bread rolls, break off a piece before buttering. Use your knife only to butter the bread, not to cut it.∙Do not start eating before the host does or instructs guests to do so. At meals with a very large number of people, it is acceptable to start eating once others have been served.∙When finished, place the knife and fork together at four o'clock with your fork on the left (tines facing down) and knife on the right, with the knife blade facing in. This signals that one has finished."Together" is the important part; nobody will check with aprotractor which angle your knife and fork are at.∙The napkin should never be crumpled. Nor should it be folded neatly as that would suggest that your host might plan to use it again without washing it—just leave it neatly but loosely on the table to the left of the plate.∙Never blow your nose on your napkin. Place it on your lap and use it to dab your mouth if you make a mess.∙It is considered rude to answer the telephone at the table. If you need to take an urgent call, excuse yourself and go outside.∙Always ask for permission from the host and excuse yourself if you need to leave the table. You should place your napkin on your seat until you return. It was historically considered common courtesy for all gentlemen at the table to stand when a lady arrives or leaves the table but in modern times this is no longer common.∙If you must leave the table or are resting, your fork should be at eight o'clock tines (prongs) pointing downwards and your knife at four o'clock (with the blade inwards). Once an item of cutlery has been used, it should not touch the table again.∙Food should be brought to your mouth on the back of the fork.∙Dishes should be served from the left, and taken away from the right.Unless the food is placed on your plate at the table, then it should arrive from the right.∙Drinks should be served from the right.∙Never lean across somebody else's plate. If you need something to be passed, ask the person closest to it. If you have to passsomething, only pass it if you are closest to it and pass it directly to them if you can.∙Salt and pepper shakers should be passed together.∙Do not take food from a neighbor's plate and don't ask to do so unless it is an interesting new dish and you would like a small taste. ∙You must not put your elbows on the table.∙If pouring a drink for yourself, offer to pour a drink for your neighbors before serving yourself.∙If extra food is on the table, ask others if they would like it before taking it yourself. If the answer is no, it is normal to still only take half the remaining food, until the point where one would have to actually cut the pieces of food in the serving dish to divide them in half.∙When chewing food, close your mouth and only talk after you have swallowed it.∙Swallow all food before eating more or drinking.∙Do not slurp your food or eat loudly.∙Never pick food out of your teeth with your fingernails.∙Try to eat all the food you are served.∙Wine glasses should be held by the stem in the case of white wines, and by cupping the bowl in the case of red wines.∙If port is served after the meal, then the decanter should be passed to the person on your left and never passed to the right.∙Never transfer food to your mouth with your knife, and never put your knife in your mouth or lick the blade.。

课文 notes on the english character 英国人的性格特点 译文

课文 notes on the english character 英国人的性格特点 译文

英国人的性格特点E·M·福斯特1.首先，我最好和盘托出并且点明我的观点，从根本上来说，英国人的性格特点是中产阶级的性格特点。

此观点拥有详实的历史渊源，因为自18世纪末起中产阶级就成为了英国社会的主导阶级。

中产阶级凭借工业革命发家，凭借1832年的《改革法案》掌权，他们与大英帝国的崛起和构成休戚相关，他们也是19世纪文学的缔造者。

稳重、谨慎、正直、高效、缺乏想像力、虚伪是每个国家中产阶级的特点，然而在英国，上述特点也是全体英国人的特点，因为只有英国的中产阶级掌权长达150年。

拿破仑无礼地称我们为“店老板民族”。

而我们更喜欢称自己为“伟大的商业民族99后者听起来更有尊严，但是二者在本质上是相同的。

当然，英国社会还包括其他阶级，贵族阶级与贫苦阶级。

然而，批评家的眼睛只盯着中产阶级，正如他们只盯着俄国的贫苦阶级与日本的贵族阶级一样。

俄国的典型形象是农民和工人，日本的典型形象是武士，英国的典型形象是布尔先生，他头戴高顶大礼帽，身穿合体的衣服，挺着大肚皮，数着银行的大笔存款。

圣·乔治也许会蹦蹦跳跳地举起标语，发表政治演说，而约翰·布尔则会去送货。

如果基博的观点是正确的，甚至圣·乔治也曾戴上高顶大礼帽，他是一位军火承包商，并且供应质量低劣的熏肉。

最终的结果都是一样的。

2.其次，正如中产阶级是英国的核心一样，公学制度是中产阶级的核心。

这种超乎寻常的体制具有地域性，它还没有扩展到英伦三岛。

爱尔兰和苏格兰都不存在这种体制(这两个国家不在我的调查之列)，尽管这样有利于其他优秀体制的出现，比如仅限于美国某些学校所采用的阿里加体制，因为它产生于安格鲁一萨克逊中产阶级，而且只能在上述阶级中实行。

英国公学制度比充满社会与精神复杂性的大学更充分地体现了中产阶级的特性。

学生寄宿、必修运动项目、高年级同学在差使低年级同学为自己办事时必须对其行为负责，以及高度重视身材与团队精神是英国公学制度的四大特点，正是这些特点使公学的学生具有超乎寻常的影响力。
