Here are some table manners inAmerica.
Don't circle your plate with your arms. If you do so,you will become the focus (焦點) |
of the table. Everyone would wonder, "Is there anything wrong with the food?" This may |
give a wrong message that you don't like the food or something like that. |
Don't push the plate back when finished. Leave it where it was. Do you want to let the |
hostess (女主人) know that you've just done a labor? |
Don't lean (倚靠) back and say"I'm through" or "I'm full". Just put the fork and |
knife across the plate. That's all. |
Don't cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one or two bites (塊) at a |
time. |
Never take a huge mouthful of anything. Do you want to show how hungry you are? |
Don't do that. It's not so good. |
It's never good to reach across the table for anything. If the thing you want is not at |
hand,simply ask the nearest person for help,like "Mrs. Smith,could you pass me the |
dish?" |
