旅游英語(yǔ):Eating In American (2)
美國(guó)人吃飯用刀叉,而且他們的用餐方式是很有講究的。因此,在應(yīng)邀與美國(guó)朋友一起吃飯時(shí),應(yīng)特別注意他們的用餐習(xí)慣。一般情況下,餐桌上擺放有一幅餐刀和兩幅餐叉,外邊的餐叉供你吃色拉,里邊的餐叉用于吃主食和其它點(diǎn)心食品,餐刀用來(lái)切肉食。如果你兩手并用,應(yīng)左手握叉,右手握刀,而且一次握刀時(shí)間不能太長(zhǎng)。美國(guó)人的早餐有:炒或煮雞蛋、香腸、油炸土豆片、薄煎餅、果子凍、烤面包、松餅、桔子汁以及咖啡等。
Eating Custom and Practice 用餐習(xí)慣
American eating is funny. They 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 manner. Then they put the knife down, transfer the fork to their right hand, and only then do they transport the food to their mouth. This is clearly ludicrous(滑稽可笑), but it is considered good manners.
There are several results of this system. First, if it is not absolutely necessary to use a knife, Americans don't use one, because obviously this greatly complicates(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 fork. Second, 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 this.
Third, tables are generally laid with one knife and two forks, the outside fork being for the salad. There 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 course. Even 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).
