美国的餐桌礼仪 每个国家的人进餐时的规矩都不一样。在中国是礼貌的行为在美国或许就是不礼貌的。下面是一些你和美国朋友一起享用西餐时的规矩。 每次都要先把餐巾铺在腿上。 等每个人的饭菜都上齐了以后再开始吃，大家同时开始用餐。 用餐时，切忌满口都是食物的时候讲话。 吃饭时，女主人会请你再添点食物，有时她会让你自己拿，当她问时，你要给她一个明确的答复。如果你第一次就谢绝了，她大概就不会再问你了。 在餐桌前要坐直，把食物送到嘴边，不要俯身凑近盘子。 把大块的肉、土豆和蔬菜切成小块，一次吃一块。 吃饭时不要靠在胳膊上，可以把手放在桌边。 学习良好礼仪的最佳方法就是观察别人怎么做。当你不清楚该如何用餐时，就注意观察你的西方朋友是怎么做的，这是避免出错的最好方法。 Table Manners for a Typical Evening Meal 1.
