【正文】 反了，我們的餐桌上往往響徹著此起彼伏的勸酒聲，氣氛顯得十分的熱鬧，好像酒喝的越多，感情就越好，飯局才算是圓滿了。下面來說說我對西方餐桌禮儀的一些理解與感悟。各式各樣的菜肴，各種類型的餐具，各種各樣的酒杯酒水，常常使人眼花繚亂，甚至是不知所措，但是一旦你熟練掌握了這項(xiàng)禮儀，特別是女士，那么你自身的形象品味將大大提升，你的氣質(zhì)也會更加高雅，言談舉止也會十分吸引人矚目。除主人特別示意作為紀(jì)念品的東西外，各種招待用品，包括糖果、水果、香煙等，都不要拿走。
有的主人為每位出席者備有小紀(jì)念品或一朵鮮花。喝酒時絕對不能吸著喝而是傾斜酒杯，像是將酒放在舌頭上似的喝。接著，侍者會來倒酒 ，這時，不要動手去拿酒杯，而應(yīng)把放在桌上由待者去倒。下面是一些可以用手拿著吃的食物：帶芯的玉米，肋骨，帶殼的蛤蚌和牡蠣，龍蝦，三明治，干蛋糕，小甜餅，某些水果。碗中的湯剩下不多時，可用手指將碗略微抬高。先用湯匙由后往前將湯舀起，湯匙的底部放在下唇的位置將湯送入口中。要記住，任何時候，都不可將刀叉的一端放在盤上，另一端放在桌上。刀刃朝向自身，表示還要繼續(xù)吃。
下面來說說餐桌上的刀叉使用方法吧。刀、叉又分為肉類用、魚類用、前菜用、甜點(diǎn)用，而湯匙除了前菜用、湯用、咖啡用、茶用之外，還有調(diào)味料用湯匙。如湯、菜太熱，不要用嘴吹，等涼了再喝?！睂Σ缓峡谖兜牟?，不要顯露出難堪的表情。這樣就是整個餐桌的氣氛不會尷尬。 西餐的上菜次序一般是開胃菜，主食即飯后甜點(diǎn)。就座時，身體要端正，手肘不要放在桌面上，不可蹺足，與餐桌的距離以便于使用餐具為佳。入座、點(diǎn)酒都應(yīng)請女士來品嘗和決定。在預(yù)定時間到達(dá)， 是基本的禮貌。
吃西餐在很大程序上講是在吃情調(diào)：大理石的壁爐、熠熠閃光的水晶燈、銀色的燭臺、繽紛的美酒，再加上人們優(yōu)雅迷人的舉止，這本身就是一幅動人的油畫。另外應(yīng)特別注意的一點(diǎn)，如有吃剩的食物，一定要打包帶回家，以免浪費(fèi)。
Eating Custom and Practice 用餐習(xí)慣 American eating is eat almost everything with a fork,and it appears that holding a knife in one’s right hand longer than a few seconds is considered to be against good table manners.
The system is that if it is absolutely necessary to use a knife,people take the fork in their left hand,and cut off a piece of meat or whatever it is in the normal they put the knife down,transfer the fork to their right hand,and only then do they transport the food to their is clearly ludicrous(滑稽可笑),but it is considered good are several results of this ,if it is not absolutely necessary to use a knife,Americans don’t use one,because obviously this greatly plicates(使復(fù)雜化)things,and you will therefore see them trying to cut things like potatoes,fish and even bacon(熏豬肉)with a ,towards the end of a course,since only one implement(器具)is being used,food has to bo chased around the plate with the fork —and for the last mouthful the thumb has to be used to keep the food in place,although one is not supposed to do ,tables are generally laid with one knife and two forks,the outside fork being for the is no need for foreign visitors to follow the American system and try to eat the salad with only a fork,but if you do use your knife,remerber to save it for the meat desserts(甜食)(except
ice cream)are eaten with a fork if at all possible,and the spoon you see by your dessert is meant to be for coffee (but if you use it for your dessert no one will say anything).
