初三英语作文(介绍餐桌礼仪)

中餐不同西餐，座位有很大的讲究．如果只是知道一部分，到时可能会出错．你需要详细了解．位次排列

宴请时，每张餐桌上的具体位次也有主次尊卑的分别。排列位次的基本方法有四条，它们往往会同时发挥作用。

方法一，是主人大都应面对正门而坐，并在主桌就坐。

方法二，是举行多桌宴请时，每桌都要有一位主桌主人的代表在座。位置一般和主桌主人同向，有时也可以面向主桌主人。

方法三，是各桌位次的尊卑，应根据距离该桌主人的远近而定，以近为上，以远为下。

方法四，是各桌距离该桌主人相同的位次，讲究以右为尊，即以该桌主人面向为准，右为尊，左为卑。

另外，每张餐桌上所安排的用餐人数应限在10人以内，最好是双数。比如，六人、八人、十人。人数如果过多，不仅不容易照顾，而且也可能坐不下。

根据上面四个位次的排列方法，圆桌位次的具体排列可以分为两种具体情况。它们都是和主位有关。

第一种情况：每桌一个主位的排列方法。特点是每桌只有一名主人，主宾在右首就坐，每桌只有一个谈话中心。

第二种情况：每桌两个主位的排列方法。特点是主人夫妇在同一桌就坐，以男主人为第一主人，女主人为第二主人，主宾和主宾夫人分别在男女主人右侧就坐。每桌从而客观上形成了两个谈话中心，如图9-5和如图9-6。

如果主宾身份高于主人，为表示尊重，也可以安排在主人位子上坐，而请主人坐在主宾的位子上。
1．筷子

筷子是中餐最主要的餐具。使用筷子，通常必须成双使用。用筷子取菜、用餐的时候，要注意下面几个“小”问题：

一是不论筷子上是否残留着食物，都不要去舔。用舔过的筷子去夹菜，是不是有点倒人胃口？

二是和人交谈时，要暂时放下筷子，不能一边说话，一边像指挥棒似地舞着筷子。

三是不要把筷子竖插放在食物上面。因为这种插法，只在祭奠死者的时候才用。

四是严格筷子的职能。筷子只是用来夹取食物的。用来剔牙、挠痒或是用来夹取食物之外的东西都是失礼的。

2．勺子

它的主要作用是舀取菜肴、食物。有时，用筷子取食时，也可以用勺子来辅助。尽量不要单用勺子去取菜。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。在舀取食物后，可以在原处“暂停”片刻，汤汁不会再往下流时，再移回来享用。

暂时不用勺子时，应放在自己的碟子上，不要把它直接放在餐桌上，或是让它在食物中“立正”。用勺子取食物后，要立即食用或放在自己碟子里，不要再把它倒回原处。而如果取用的食物太烫，不可用勺子舀来舀去，也不要用嘴对着吹，可以先放到自己的碗里等凉了再吃。不要把勺子塞到嘴里，或者反复吮吸、舔食。

3．盘子

稍小点的盘子就是碟子，主要用来盛放食物，在使用方面和碗略同。盘子在餐桌上一般要保持原位，而且不要堆放在一起。

需要着重介绍的，是一种用途比较特殊的被称为食碟的盘子。食碟的主要作用，是用来暂放从公用的菜盘里取来享用的菜肴的。用食碟时，一次不要取放过多的菜肴，看起来既繁乱不堪，又像是饿鬼投胎。不要把多种菜肴堆放在一起，弄不好它们会相互“窜味”，不好看，也不好吃。不吃的残渣、骨、刺不要吐在地上、桌上，而应轻轻取放在食碟前端，放的时候不能直接从嘴里吐在食碟上，要用筷子夹放到碟子旁边。如果食碟放满了，可以让服务员换。

4．水杯，主要用来盛放清水、汽水、果汁、可乐等软饮料时使用。不要用它来盛酒，也不要倒扣水杯。另外，喝进嘴里的东西不能再吐回水杯。

5．中餐用餐前，比较讲究的话，会为每位用餐者上一块湿毛巾。它只能用来擦手。擦手后，应该放回盘子里，由服务员拿走。有时候，在正式宴会结束前，会再上一块湿毛巾。和前者不同的是，它只能用来擦嘴，却不能擦脸、抹汗。

6．牙签。尽量不要当众剔牙。非剔不行时，用另一只手掩住口部，剔出来的东西，不要当众观赏或再次入口，也不要随手乱弹，随口乱吐。剔牙后，不要长时间叼着牙签，更不要用来扎取食物。

The main difference between Chinese and western eating habits is that unlike the West, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food. Chinese are very proud of their culture of cuisine and will do their best to show their hospitality.

And sometimes the Chinese host use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness. The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how yummy it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite thank you and leave the food there.

Eating No-no's

Don't stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl.Instead,lay them on your dish. The reason for this is that when somebody dies,the shrine to them contains a bowl of sand or rice with two sticks of incense stuck upright in it. So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it looks like this shrine and is equivalent to wishing death upon a person at the table!

Make sure the spout of the teapot is not facing anyone. It is impolite to set the teapot down where the spout is facing towards somebody. The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting, usually just outward from the table.

Don't tap on your bowl with your chopsticks.Beggars tap on their bowls, so this is not polite.Also, when the food is coming too slow in a restarant, people will tap their bowls. If you are in someone's home,it is like insulting the cook.

Drinking

Gan Bei! (Cheers! “Gan Bei” literally means “dry [the] glass”) Besides beer, the official Chinese alcoholic beverage is Bai Jiu,high-proof Chinese liquor made from assorted grains. There are varying degrees of Bai Jiu. The Beijing favorite is called Er Guo Tou, which is a whopping 56% alcohol. More expensive are Maotai and Wuliangye.

Of course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but that’s only superficial. Besides, in decent restaurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you’re in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.

The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to be followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all.

People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed. When you have had enough, just say so. Or you will always overeat!
