一篇初中英语阅读的一个问题
Do as the Romans do
There’s a saying,“When in Rome,do as the Romans do.” And when you eat Western food,do as the Westerners do.Here are some things you may wish to know about eating together in the West.
In the West,lunch is eaten later,always after midday,sometimes at one o’clock,Dinner is served around 7 pm or even later.In Spain it’s usual to eat lunch at 2 pm and dinner at 10 pm!
At the start of a meal the Chinese usually say “manman chi”.The French say “Bon appetite”,and the Italians say “ Buon appetite”,But there’s no similar expression in English!“Enjoy your meal” is usually only said by a waiter.For “ganbei” ,you can say “Cheers”!
Chopsticks are only used when people eat Chinese food.Knives and forks are used for Western food.The fork is held in your left hand and the knife in your right,and the food is held with the fork and cut with the knife.Americans often cut all their food first,and then put the fork in their right hand to eat it.Soup is drunk with a spoon.However,there is some food which can be eaten with your fingers,such as chicken legs,seafood,bread and cake.
At the start of a meal,if you’re the guest,you’ll be invited to serve yourself (“help yourself!”),or your plate will be filled by your host(“Can I serve you?”).If you’ve been given something you don’t like,it should be pushed to the edge of the plate and left.You don’t have to say why,but if you feel and explanation is required,just say,“I’m sorry,I can’t eat this.” No one will be cross .If you’re offered more food,but can’t eat any more,just say,“No,thanks,It was delicious,but I’ve had enough.”
Generally,fewer dishes are prepared than in China.It isn’t thought to be so important to offer too much food.
Finally,it’s sometimes difficult to know when the meal is over.If you’ve been invited to dinner by Western friends ,you’ll know that you’re expected to stay and talk around the dinner table long after the last dish has been brought to the table,and it’s thought quite rude if you leave as soon as you finish eating.
The golden rule is :Watch the other people.Do as they do.
