Table Manners
GERMANY American CHINA JAPAN
Here’s the German/European way of using a knife and fork:
FAST FOOD!
Finger Foods? Nein! Americans and other Europeans rarely eat with their hands! Especially in a fine restaurant or in a formal/semiformal dining situation, even pizza is eaten with a knife and fork. However, if you are at an outdoor Grillparty or eating informally, it’s okay to eat some foods, such as hamburgers or hotdogs, with your hands.
初到美国餐馆用餐，应该注意如下事项：1）选择合适的餐馆（如：家庭式餐 馆、特色餐馆以及自助式餐馆等）；2）餐馆营业时间（上午11：30开门营业， 直到夜晚）；3）一般都应事先预订餐位：4）到达餐馆后，不能径直地到餐桌 旁入桌，除非餐厅有“随意就坐”的告示；5）付款时，别忘了留给服务员一 定比例的小费（一般为实际总额的10%～15%）。
Reserving a Table is rather popular in the USA. And it is often necessary to make a reservation. You will sometimes see short queues of people waiting for tables at restaurants-it's more pleasant to wait in the bar ,of course,if there is one-but there queues more quickly.
TABLE-MANNERS餐桌礼仪
BEFORE聚会前•Always respond to an invitation within a week of receiving it.在收到邀请的一周内回复。
•Dress according to the recommended dress code。
NEVER attempt to ”out dress” the hostess!根据建议的着装打扮.穿着永远不要试图盖过女主人的光芒.•Be punctual – you should not be late.守时—你不应该迟到•If you wish to bring a guest as your partner， etiquette demands that you should always check with the host first. However， if your family is invited, it is okay to ask if your children are included. Make sure your children know good table manners before they go and behave accordingly： no running around, no shouting. As the British used to say; Children should be seen， not heard！Their bad behavior will reflect on you。
If you are the one hosting the party and a guest of yours arrives with an unexpected friend, be polite & courteous with them， and speak with your inconsiderate guest at another time!如果你希望携带另外一名客人作为你的同伴参与，礼节上你应该事先与主人家确定是否可行。

Lesson 3 Table Manners餐桌礼仪养成良好的答题习惯，是决定高考英语成败的决定性因素之一。
做题前，要认真阅读题目要求、题干和选项，并对答案内容作出合理预测;答题时，切忌跟着感觉走，最好按照题目序号来做，不会的或存在疑问的，要做好标记，要善于发现，找到题目的题眼所在，规范答题，书写工整;答题完毕时，要认真检查，查漏补缺，纠正错误。
Talking about eating habit, unlike the West, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. If treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food. Chinese are very proud of their culture of preparing food and will do their best to show their friendliness.And sometimes the host will serve some dishes with his or her ownchopsticks to guests. This is a sign of politeness. The appropriate thing to dowould be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how delicious it is. If you feeluncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite "thank you" and leave the food there. There are some other rules that are suggested you follow to make your stay in China happier, though you will be forgiven if you have no idea of what they are.1. Never stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl; lay them on your dish instead. Otherwise, it is thought extremely impolite to the host and seniors present. The reason for this is that it seems to wish death upon a person at the table.2. Make sure the mouth of the teapot is not facing anyone, which meansthey are not popular. The mouth should always be directed to where nobodyis sitting, usually just outward from the table.3. Don't tap on your bowl with your chopsticks, since that will beconsidered offending to the host or the chef. Beggars tap on their bowls, andalso, when the food is coming too slow in a restaurant, people will tap their bowls. If you are in someone's home, it seems like hurting the feelings of the host or the cook.4. Never try to turn a fish over and remove its bones yourself, since the separation of the fish bones from thelower half of the flesh will usually be performed by the host or a waiter.

Paying for the meal is also different from country to country. In China ,one person usually pays for all. In western countries, when friends eat together, they usually share the cost. This is called “going Dutch” .Also, when westerners pay the check, they usually leave some money for the waiter. This is called “leaving a tip”. Not leaving a tip is very rude. In the U.S, it’s common to leave tips of 10%,15%,or 20% . of the check. The amount depends on how good the waiter is. Good waiters can get a lot of money!

中美餐桌礼仪差异 ——table manners
进餐时的礼仪：（General manners while dining）在家庭式的用餐中常常是把一盘菜传到各位的面前，有时由主人把菜拿到客人面前，稍微讲究一点的会有佣人把菜呈到客人面前。
如果是传的话，你要按其他盘子传的同一个方向把菜传给下一位。
当你拿到传过来的菜盘子，你可以从中取菜。
在取的时候，不要取超过餐桌上人数比例的量，这样的话餐桌上的每一个人都能得到一份。
如果你不想吃传过来的菜，那就把它递给下一位，但是千万不要解释你为什么不吃或者作什么评论。
如果是有人把菜盘子端给你，他会问你是否需要，你可以简单地回答“是的，请给一些”或者“谢谢，我不需要”。
（When a dish is offered from a serving dish (a.k.a.family style), as is the traditional manner, the food may be passed around or served by a host or staff. If passed, you should pass on the serving dish to the next person i n the same direction as the other dishes are being passed. Place the serving dish on your left, take some, and pass to the person next to you. You should consider how m uch is on the serving dish and not take more than a proportional amount so that eve ryone may have some. If you do not care for any of the dish, pass it to the next pers on without comment. If being served by a single person, the server should request if the guest would like any of the dish. The guest may say "Yes, please," or "No, thank you."）当为进餐人士服务的时候，上菜都是从进餐者的左边放到他（她）的前面；而撤盘子的时候，都是从进餐者的右边拿走。

TableManners（餐桌礼仪）
TableManners（餐桌礼仪）Table manners are how to behave when you eat a meal. They include how to handle cutlery and how to eat in a civilized manner.Eating 进餐1. Japan 日本(1) It is “perfectly” okay to slurp when you eat noodles. The reason is that Unlike making big noises, slurping mildly is not rude but is a compliment to the chef. Japanese also say it tastes better if you slurp.(2) Eat sushi whole. Dip the fish part rather than the rice into soy sauce.2. Russia 俄罗斯(1) Your wrists should be placed on the edge of the table while eating, fork in left hand, knife in the right.(2) Keep your hands in sight. It is not good manners to rest them on your lap. Keep your elbows off the table.(3) Leave some food on your plate to show that the host has given you enough to eat. Or the host will ask if you’d like to have a second helping. It’s polite to mop up excess sauce or gravy with bread.3. France 法国(1) Never discuss money or religion over dinner. Going Dutch is considered “the height of unsophistication”.(2) In France, a meal is like a ceremony. People relish it and make it’s a special occasion.(3) In contrast to the etiquette in Russia, it’s considered good manners to finish everything on your plate. People often cut bread directly on a table cloth rather than on a plate. Tearyour bread into bite-sized pieces before eating. Taking a bite from the whole piece is very impolite。

3) While cutting meat, the correct way is to cut a piece
and then switch your fork to your right hand to pick it up. This method is considered the “American” way. Not switching your fork and using your left is called the “Continental” way, and is done most often in European countries. This way is gaining acceptance. Also, cut meat a piece at a time. Cutting the entire meat up into pieces or cutting more than one at a time is tacky

Remember you must never eat off a knife.When we use a fork together with a knife or spoon, the fork should be held in the left hand, in much the same way as the knife, with the prongs facing downwards.

FAST FOOD!
Finger Foods? Nein! Americans and other Europeans rarely eat with their hands! Especially in a fine restaurant or in a formal/semiformal dining situation, even pizza is eaten with a knife and fork. However, if you are at an outdoor Grillparty or eating informally, it’s okay to eat some foods, such as hamburgers or hotdogs, with your hands.
When you arrive at most restaurant,you should not just go in and sit down-unless you see a sign saying "Please seat yourself".Usually you will have to wait for a "hostess"or "captain"(领班)to escort(陪同)you to a table .Often there will be a sign that reads "Please wait to be seated".
Do not expect to share a table with other parties,even if the restaurant is crowed .It just isn't done.
Many restaurant have a no-smoking section,in some place by lows. Summoning a waiter 召唤侍者You may find your waiter unusually friendly.He may ask you how you are (You're supposed just to say "Fine"),inquire whether you have a good day and ,later on say that he hopes you will enjoy your meal. Paying the comes usually with tax added but no service chare-though some restaurant do now add a service charge.The etiquette(规矩)books say that you should leave a ten per cent tip(小费)for lunch,fifteen per cent for dinner.The tip should be calculated on the basis of the total before the addition of tax. At many restaurant you can ask the waiter to bring the bill and than pay at a cash desk on the way out.
请客人、长者动筷子。饭时不要出 声音；吃饭时不要出声响。有的人 吃饭喜欢咀嚼食物.特别是使劲咀嚼 脆食物，发出很清晰的声音来.这种 做法是不合礼仪要求的，特别是和 众人一起进餐时，就要尽量防止出 现这种现象。如果出现打喷嚏的情 况时，就要说一声“真不好意思”、 “对不起”
So what are the differences of table manners between Chinese and western countries
Business Dining
If you are attending a business luncheon or dinner, the rules are much the same as in the US, but remember not to lapse into American first-name familiarity. In Germany, business is business – even when dining. Shake hands (firmly) when greeting people! Wait for your host to indicate where you should sit. Otherwise, you can follow the table manners below.
Table Manners
GERMANY American CHINA JAPAN
Here’s the German/European way of using a knife and fork:
Hold the fork in your left hand, the knife in your right hand. Keep both in your hands while eating. Don’t put the knife or fork down
入座后姿式端正，脚踏在本人座位下，不可任意 伸直手肘，不得 靠桌子边缘，或将手放在邻座椅背上。
•ቤተ መጻሕፍቲ ባይዱSeated posture correct, a foot in my seat, not arbitrary extension, elbow should not rely on the edge of the table, or hand on the adjacent seat backs.
CHINA!!!
Please the guests, elders move chopsticks first. Do not make slurping noises when you eat. Some people like chewing food but make a very clear voice .This is not a polite table manner especially when everyone is having dinner together. We should prevent the occurrence of this phenomenon.It is necessary to say "I feel shy"," sorry"," please forgive" or other words to apologize when you sneeze.
IN CHINA
To please the guests seated on the seats, then please elderly.先请客人入座上席，再请长者入座
Guests are seated beside the table;客人再依次入座；
When seated to the left to enter from the chair at the table, do not move chopsticks, not to get what the noise, also don‘t get up and move; if there is anything to greet to the master. 入座时要从椅子左边进入，入座后不要动筷子，更不要弄出什么响 声来，也不要起身走动；如果有什么事要向主人打招呼
初到美国餐馆用餐，应该注意如下事项：1）选择合适的餐馆（如：家庭式餐 馆、特色餐馆以及自助式餐馆等）；2）餐馆营业时间（上午11：30开门营业， 直到夜晚）；3）一般都应事先预订餐位：4）到达餐馆后，不能径直地到餐桌 旁入桌，除非餐厅有“随意就坐”的告示；5）付款时，别忘了留给服务员一 定比例的小费（一般为实际总额的10%～15%）。
Generally speaking, the face of the door of the farthest from the door of the seat was the mistress, the opposite of the host seat. Mistress of the right side is the first head table, generally is gentleman .Master the right seat is the second head table, generally is madam. The hostess in the left seat is the third head table, male master in the left seat is the fourth head table.
Good dining etiquette in Germany and Europe is not very different from that in the USA, but there are a few variations that you should know about.
A Gift is Nice (Dining with Friends or Acquaintances) As in the US, if you have been invited to dinner at someone’s home, it is appropriate to bring a gift for your hosts. If you have brought along something typically American from your home state or city, that would be nice. Typical gifts include wine, flowers (no red roses, a sign of romance) or sweets. The better you know your hosts, the better you can select a gift. Remember to arrive on time! Germans don’t do “fashionably late.”
