【正文】 馬上生活隨身帶刀，往往將肉 燒熟，割下來(lái)就吃。到 18 世紀(jì)才有了四個(gè)叉尖的叉子。游修齡教授認(rèn)為，刀叉必然帶來(lái)分食制，而筷子肯定與家庭成員圍坐桌邊共同進(jìn)餐 相配。而筷子帶來(lái)的合餐制，突出了老老少少坐一起的家庭單元，從而讓東方人擁有了比較牢固 的家庭觀念。如中餐進(jìn)餐時(shí)不可玩弄筷子（把它 們當(dāng)鼓槌是非常失禮的做法），更不可以用筷子向人指指點(diǎn)點(diǎn)或打手勢(shì)示意。在使用刀 叉時(shí)也有一些禁忌。發(fā)言或交談時(shí)，應(yīng)將刀叉放在盤(pán)上才合 乎禮儀。餐具掉落不要彎腰拾撿。二、從座次安排上看中西文化差異中西都講究正式的宴請(qǐng)活動(dòng)的座次安排。對(duì)門(mén)為上，兩邊為偏座。西方人請(qǐng)客用長(zhǎng)桌，男女主人分坐兩端，然后按男女主賓和一般客人的次序安排座位，即 男女穿插安排，以女主人的座位為準(zhǔn)，主賓坐在女主人的右上方，主賓夫人坐在男主人的右上 方，講究“女士?jī)?yōu)先”的西方紳士，都會(huì)表現(xiàn)出對(duì)女士的殷勤。而在西方，右為尊，左為次。手肘不要放在桌面上，不可蹺 足。坐姿端正，背挺直，脖子伸長(zhǎng)。記得要抬頭挺 胸著吃，在把面前的食物送進(jìn)口中時(shí)，要以食物就口，而非彎下腰以口去就食物。餐桌氣氛上的差異，中國(guó)餐桌上動(dòng)，西方餐桌上靜。中國(guó)人一坐上餐桌，便滔滔不絕，相互讓菜，勸酒，盡情的享受山珍海味，美味佳肴。這種“鬧” 能從某種程度上折射中國(guó)人家庭溫馨、鄰里和睦、國(guó)人團(tuán)結(jié)的“一團(tuán)和氣”。喝湯時(shí)不能發(fā)出響聲，如湯菜過(guò)熱，可待稍涼后 再吃，不要用嘴吹。不要舔嘴唇或咂嘴發(fā)出聲音。左右客人如不認(rèn)識(shí)，可先自我介紹。音量保持對(duì)方能聽(tīng)見(jiàn)的程度。四、從餐桌話語(yǔ)上看中西文化差異中國(guó)人請(qǐng)客吃飯時(shí)，擺在桌上的菜花樣繁多，至少有七、八道菜，如果是盛宴，主菜會(huì)更多，越名貴、越奇特的菜會(huì)越顯示主任的殷勤和客人的身份。而西方盛宴、一般四至五道菜，份量以吃完或稍有剩余為最佳。面對(duì)豐盛的宴席，主人會(huì)說(shuō)“已經(jīng)傾其所有來(lái)招待大 家” 的話。而西方人強(qiáng)調(diào)效率和實(shí)用主義價(jià)值觀，在交際中十分注重自身面子的需要。另外，在西方國(guó)家不要問(wèn)“吃飯了嗎？”等我國(guó)習(xí)慣的問(wèn)候語(yǔ)。如在英國(guó)，你若問(wèn)人吃飯沒(méi)有，其含義是你有意請(qǐng)對(duì)方吃飯；這對(duì)于未婚男女，則表 明你有意約會(huì)對(duì)方。文化無(wú)優(yōu)劣之分。第三篇：中西方餐桌禮儀的文化差異中西方餐桌禮儀的文化差異CULTURAL DIFFERENCES OF TABLE MANNERS BETWEEN EAST AND WESTAbstract and Key WordsAbstract: Table manners are the rules of etiquette used
