⑶This may be the reason why it is always noisy at a Chinese dinner but quiet in a Western restaurant.
⑷Alcohol is a medium for communicating emotion in China. Drinking with business partners or would-be friends is a way of solidifying friendship, especially in Northern China.
⑸You will be set free at a Western banquet.It seems we are keen to make it as convenient as possibleto savor the wine,its color,its aroma and its delicate taste.
⑹The most important thing is that the goblet,table-cloth,and plates should be made shiningly clean,so that the color of the wine is clearly visible and the delicate aroma and taste are fully appreciable.
⑺At the Western table,remember to avoid talking so loundly,or talking with a mouthful food.
⑴中餐还有严格的餐桌礼仪 。长辈要受到尊重 。一盘菜上来，大家要先让长者举筷，这被称作“剪彩” 。
⑵西餐中每个人点的菜都同时端上，大家在同一时间开始用餐，缺少了中国人相互礼让的过程，
⑶友好的气氛就差了许多 。这也许就是中国人吃饭热热闹闹，西方人的餐桌相对安静的原因吧 。
⑷在中国，喝酒时情感交流的介质 。尤其是在北方，和业务伙伴或者“准朋友”喝酒可以增进感情 。
⑸西式酒宴上，你可就自由了，我们乐意为品酒创造便利，品味就的颜色、气味和口感 。
⑹所以有一点是很重要的，那就是酒杯、桌布和盘子都要擦得一尘不染，为的就是使就的颜色清楚可见，酒的口感和气味也能感受出来 。
⑺在西餐桌上，记得不要大声说话，或边嚼边说话 。
【拓展】文化差异1. Chewing with your mouth open.张开嘴咀嚼食物 。
This is the opposite of Chinese Culture where they appreciate that you make noise while eating. Westerners feel this is disgusting and shows a complete lake of manners. Chew with your mouth shut!
中国人喜欢在咀嚼食物的时候发出声响，与中国文化相反，西方人认为这种行为极为讨厌，是缺乏礼貌的表现 。嚼东西的时候要闭上嘴巴 。
2. Speaking with your mouth full.说话时满嘴食物 。
This is considered quite rude when at the table. Western children are taught from a very early age never to do this.
在餐桌上，这被认为是非常粗鲁的行为 。西方人从小就受这方面的教导 。
3. Picking teeth / Sucking teeth. 剔牙 / 吮牙 。
It is considered rude to pick between your teeth where others can see you. Western restaurants usually do not supply toothpicks so it is sometimes hard to decide when to remove food stuck between the teeth. It is usually best to excuse yourself and go into the bathroom.
当着他人的面剔牙是很不礼貌的 。西餐厅通常不提供牙签，所以有时候很难决定什么时候该剔牙 。当确实需要清理牙缝间的食物时，最好是上洗手间 。
4. Elbows on the table.手肘支在桌上 。
While eating you should be sitting straight up. Do not put your elbows on the table. Putting your elbows on the table will make you look like a farmer.
用餐时应该身体坐直，手肘不要支在餐桌上 。把手肘放在桌子上会让你看起来像个农民 。
5. Spitting food (bones, skin, etc.) out of your mouth. 直接从嘴里吐出食物（骨、皮等） 。
This is not done in Western restaurants. If you do need to take something out of your mouth, bring your napkin up to your mouth and place the item in it.
在西方的餐厅里你是见不到这一幕的 。真要这样做的话，应该把纸巾拿到嘴边，吐在纸巾上 。
6. Picking up your plate or bowl. 捧起碗碟 。
They think that only children do this. Don’t lean over and slurp from the plate on the table either. Food must be transported from the dish to your mouth with a fork or a spoon. If you’re nervous about using a knife and fork, buy a set and practice at home until you feel comfortable.
