西方餐桌礼仪与中国餐桌礼仪有什么不同,英文解释

Answer 1

1、餐桌用语差异

在中国，即使餐桌上的菜琳琅满目，主人也会说“菜很少，招待不周，还请大家多担待。”

西方国家的主人则会很随便的说“help yourself to some vegetables（请随便吃点蔬菜）”，显得很自然随意。

2、座位排序不同

中国人在传统的思想中，对八仙桌极为喜爱，在宴请中，年纪大的长者或是主人以及德高望重的人坐到主要位置，其他客人会按顺序入座。

西方国家在宴请客人中，习惯用长桌，主人会坐在桌子的两端，而客人则按照次序入座。

3、餐具陈设和使用不同

筷子是中餐最重要的餐具，用餐前，筷子一定要整齐地放在饭碗的右侧，用餐后一定要整齐地竖向放在饭碗的正中。不论筷子上是否残留着食物，都不要去舔；不要把筷子竖直插放在食物上面。勺子主要是用来喝汤的，有时也可以用来取形状比较小的菜。用勺子取食物时，不要过满，免得溢出来弄脏餐桌或自己的衣服。

西方餐具摆放时托盘居中，左叉右刀，刀尖向上，刀口向内，盘前横匙，主食靠左，餐具靠右，其余用具酌情摆放。餐具的取用应由外而内，切用时可以使用法式方式，即左手拿叉右手拿刀，边切边用；也可用英美式，即右手拿刀，左手拿叉，切好后再改用右手拿叉取用。

一般用右手拿汤匙和杯子用餐具把食物送到嘴里，而不要把盘碗端起来。使用刀叉进餐时，刀用来切割食物，叉用来送食物入口。

Each person has his own choice or portion of his foods served separately. However, the eastern culture, or the Chinese culture, has the foods served very much at the same time and they are not served separately to each individually. Therefore, in a Chinese meal, the foods are shared among the people at the table.
