中美餐桌礼仪差异 ——table manners.docVIP

进餐时的礼仪：（General?manners?while?dining）? ?? 在家庭式的用餐中常常是把一盘菜传到各位的面前，有时由主人把菜拿到客人面前，稍微讲究一点的会有佣人把菜呈到客人面前。如果是传的话，你要按其他盘子传的同一个方向把菜传给下一位。当你拿到传过来的菜盘子，你可以从中取菜。在取的时候，不要取超过餐桌上人数比例的量，这样的话餐桌上的每一个人都能得到一份。如果你不想吃传过来的菜，那就把它递给下一位，但是千万不要解释你为什么不吃或者作什么评论。如果是有人把菜盘子端给你，他会问你是否需要，你可以简单地回答“是的，请给一些”或者“谢谢，我不需要”。（?
