earing a Tshirt and jeans. Boy: I guess you should have asked what you were supposed to wear. Section B 2a Tapescript Satosbi: You muse be really excited about leaving for Japan tomorrow, Steve! Steve: Yeah, I am. But I’m a little nervous, too. Satosbi: Nervous about what? Steve: Well, for one thing, I don’t know how to use chopsticks very well... and I don’t know how to behave at the dinner table. Satosbi: Oh, I see. I could give you a little lesson on Japanese table manners if you’d like. Steve: Really? That would be great! Satosbi: Hmmmm. Let me see. One difference is that sometimes it’s polite to make noise when you’re eating. Especially when you’re eating noodles. It shows that you like the food. Steve: Really? That’s interesting. In the United States you’re not supposed to do that. Satosbi: Yeah, I know. OK, so here are some chopstick rules: it’s rude to stick your chopsticks into your food. And you shouldn’t point at anyone with your chopsticks. Steve: Oh, OK. I won’t. Satosbi: And also, this isn’t about table manners exactly, but you should know that you aren’t supposed to eat or drink while walking down the street. Steve: Huh. Satosbi: Oh, and the most important thing you need to know is that you’re not supposed to talk when you’re eating dinner. Only parents are allowed to talk at the dinner table. Children are not allowed to speak. Steve: Wow! That’s ... that’s unusual! Satosbi: I’m just kidding! Boy, you’re really gullible, Steve! 課文分析: 一 .
