11、ent. What is polite in China may not be polite in the United States. These basic rules will help you enjoy western food with your American friends.,Always put the napkin on your lap first. Before you leave the table fold your napkin and put it beside your plate. As the meal is served, use the silver
12、ware farthest from the plate first. When eating something in a bowl, do not leave the spoon in the bowl. Put it on the plate beneath the bowl. Soup, as well as all American food is eaten quietly.,Do not pick the bowl up to hold it closer to your mouth. When you have finished your meal, place your kn
13、ife and fork side by side on the plate. This signals that you have finished eating. Wait until everyone has been served to begin eating. If invited to begin before others are served, wait until three or four people have been served before starting to eat. While eating, remember not to talk with your
14、 mouth full of food.,During the meal, the host or hostess will offer you a second helping of food. Sometimes they will ask you to help yourself. When they offer you food, give a direct answer. If you refuse the first time, they might not ask you again Sit up straight at the table. Bring the food upt
15、o your mouth. Do not lean down to your plate. Cut large pieces of meat, potatoes and vegetables into bite size pieces. Eat the piecesone at a time.,When eating spaghetti, wind the noodles up on your fork. You may use your spoon to assist in winding the noodle on your fork. The spaghetti on your fork
16、 should be eaten in one bite. It is very impolite to eat half your noodles and allow the other half to fall back on your plate.

17、use toothpicks at the table. Some of the rules mentioned here may be somewhat relaxed in informal settings. The best way to learn good manners is to watch others.

Find out what Chinese parties look like in the eye of a westerner. It is
19、fair to say that the number one pastime in China is eating. 在中国，把吃饭看作第一消遣方式一点也不为过。,Banquets are usually held in restaurants in private rooms that have been reserved for the purpose. You will be met at the door and led to the banquet room. Traditionally, the head of your delegation should enter the r
20、oom first. Do not be surprised if your hosts greet you with a loud round of applause. The proper response is to applaud back. 宴请通常设在提前预定好的饭店包间内。饭店门口集合，之后被领进包间。传统上说来，应该让来客中的头领先进包间。不要为东道主响亮的欢迎掌声惊到，适宜的做法就是以掌声回应。,Seating arrangements are stricter than in the West. Guests should never assume that they ma
21、y sit where they please and should wait for hosts to guide them to their places. Traditionally, the Chinese regard the right side as the superior and the left side as the inferior. Therefore on formal occasions, the host invariably arranges for the main guests to sit on his right side. 在中国，就餐座位的排布比西
22、方要严格得多。客人们绝对想不到东道主希望他们坐在哪里，所以不妨等待主人的安排后再落座。传统上说来，中国人将右手边的座位留给地位较高的人，地位较低的人坐在左侧。因此在正式场合，主人总是安排贵宾坐在他的右手边。,It is the hosts responsibility to serve the guests, and at very formal banquets people do not begin to eat until the host has served a portion to the principal guest. Or, the host may simply raise
23、 his chopsticks and announce that eating has begun. After this point, one may serve oneself any food in any amount. Remember to go slow on eating. Dont fill yourself up when five courses are left to go. To stop eating in the middle of a banquet is rude, and your host may incorrectly think that somet
24、hing has been done to offend you.,Drinking takes an important place in Chinese banquets. It is likely that the host will stand and hold his glass out with hands while saying a few words. When he says the words “gan bei“, which means bottoms up, all present should drain their glasses. After this init
25、ial toast, drinking and toasting are open to all. No words are needed to make a toast, and it is not necessary to drain your glass, although to do so is more respectful. When filling anothers glass, it is polite to fill it as full as you can. This symbolizes full respect and friendship.,When the las
26、t dish is finished, the banquet has officially ended. There is little ceremony involved with its conclusion. The host may ask if you have eaten your fill. Then the principal host will rise, signaling that the banquet has ended. Generally, the principal host will bid good evening to everyone at the d
27、oor and stay behind to settle the bill with the restaurateur. Other hosts usually accompany guests to their vehicles and remain outside waving until the cars have left the premises.,The main difference between Chinese and western eating habits is that unlike the West, where everyone has their own pl
28、ate 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 chop
29、sticks 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.,Dont stick your chopsticks upright in the
30、 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 deat
31、h 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.,Dont 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 restaurant, people will tap their bowls. If you are in someones home, it is like insulting the cook.,
