Dining Etiquette

Dining while abroad can feel as though you are tiptoeing around a minefield of unfamiliar rules. Table manners are the ultimate way to show respect (or some accidental disrespect) to your gracious host.

在国外吃饭，宛如蹑手蹑脚的游走在一堆不熟悉的规则中间。餐桌礼仪是对主人展现尊敬（有时反而显现不敬）的最好方式。

Now it's time to learn how to eat. Here are some of the very specific dining do's and don't's from around the world.

现在就来学学如何吃饭吧。下面是全球一些餐桌礼仪，该做什么不该做什么。

Slurp

Slurp your food.

吃东西时砸吧嘴。

In Japan, most commonly when eating noodles and soups, slurping shows your appreciation of the food to the chef. The louder the better! You may also drink directly from the soup bowl -- spoons are uncommon. Furthermore, never cross your chopsticks, lick

your chopsticks, or stick your chopsticks vertically into a bowl of rice. It's considered very rude in Japan and many other Asian countries, including China.

在日本，吃面喝汤极其寻常，发出啧啧声是对厨师食物的肯定。越大声越好！你还可以直接端起汤碗来喝汤——调羹反而用的不多。另外，千万别把筷子交叉，舔筷子或是把筷子垂直插在米饭中间。这在日本以及其他亚洲国家包括中国，都是极其粗鲁的表现，

right hand

Eat only with your right hand.

只用右手吃饭。

Sorry lefties -- in India, the Middle East, and some parts of Africa, it is considered unclean to eat with your left hand.

左撇子对不住啦——在印度、中东以及非洲某些地区，用左手吃饭是不卫生

的表现。

split the bill

Don't offer to split the bill.

别想着AA制。

In France, splitting the bill is considered the height of unsophistication. Offer to pay the bill in its entirety or someone else will.

在法国，AA制被看成不懂人情世故。要么就请客，不然就等别人买单吧。

Bread

Bread is a utensil.

面包只是食具。

In France, you are supposed to use two hands to eat -- either fork and knife or fork and bread. Bread isn't meant to be an appetizer -- instead it serves to assist the food to the fork. When you eat the bread, tear off a piece of it to eat instead of biting directly into the bread. When not in use, the bread belongs on the table or tablecloth instead of the plate.

在法国，你完全可以用两只手吃饭——用刀叉或者是叉子加面包。面包在这里并不是开胃菜——而是帮助把食物弄到叉子上面的工具。吃面包的时候，慢慢的撕下，千万别直接对着面包咬。不用的时候，面包是放在桌子或是桌布上的，别放在盘子里。

hands

Eat with your hands.

用手吃饭。

In Mexico, it is considered an almost snobby practice to use a fork and knife.

在墨西哥，用刀叉吃饭是十分势利的表现。

touch

Don't touch any part of your meal with your hands.

不要用手碰到任何食物。

In Chile, touching food with your hands is considered ill-mannered. Yep, even fries! In Brazil, too, pizza and burgers are normally eaten with a fork and knife.

在智利，用手碰食物是非常不礼貌的表现。是的，甚至是薯条！而在巴西亦是如此，披萨和汉堡通常都是用刀叉吃的。
