9. Warm-2 < Back Next > Home Warming-up Table Manner in Western Countries • As soon as the hostess picks up her napkin (餐巾), pick yours up and lay it on your lap. • 2)The Soup Course • Dinner usually begins with soup. The largest spoon at your place is the soup spoon. It will be beside your plate at the right-hand side. • 3) The Fish Course • If there is a fish course, it will probably follow the soup. There may be a special fork for the fish, or it may be similar to the meat fork. Often it is smaller. • 4) The Meat Course • The main course is usually served by the host himself, especially if it is a fowl (鸡禽) or a roast which needs to be carved. He will often ask each guest what piece he prefers, and it is quite proper to state your preference as to lean or fat, dark (红肉) or light (白肉).

10. Warm-2 < Back Next > Home Warming-up 5) Using Knife and Fork The English keep the fork in the left hand, point curved downward, and bring the food to the mouth either by sticking the points onto it or in the case of soft vegetables, by placing it firmly on the fork in this position with the knife. Americans carve the meat in the same position, then lay down the knife and taking the fork in the right hand with the point turned up, push it under a small piece of food without the help of the knife and bring it to the mouth right-side-up. 6) Helping Yourself and Refusing If a servant passes food around, he will pass the dish at your left hand so that you can conveniently serve yourself with your right hand. Never serve yourself while the dish is on your right; it is then the turn of your neighbor on the right. It is polite to take some of everything that is passed to you. But if there is something you may not like, you may quietly say: "No, thank you."

11. Warm-2 < Back Next > Home Warming-up 7) The Salad Course A salad is eaten with a fork only held in the right hand with points turned up. There is usually a special one for the salad, a little smaller than the meat fork. 8) Bread and Butter Bread is taken in the fingers and laid on the side plate or the edge of the large plate; it is never taken with a fork. Butter is taken from the butter dish with the butter knife and placed on the side plate, not on one's bread.

12. Warm-2 < Back Next > Home Warming-up 9) Other Things on the Table When there are things on the middle of the table, such as bread, butter, jelly, pickles, nits, candies, you should not take any until the hostess has suggested that they be passed. 10) Leaving the Table It is impolite for a guest to leave the table during a meal, or before the hostess gives the signal at the end. When the hostess indicates that the dinner is over, she will start to rise from her seat and all the guests rise from theirs at the same time.

14. Text A-1 < Back Next > Home Reading A 声音 翻译 Deals over Meals 1As a form of business entertaining, business meals are increasingly used to build up personal trust and confidence. Westerners do an extraordinary amount of business over meals, from a quick breakfast to “working lunches” to cocktail receptions and formal dinners.

15. Text A-2 < Back Next > Home Reading A 翻译 声音 2Breakfast meetings rarely last more than an hour. They imply certain urgency and are often convenient during business travels. Lunch is usually best for getting to know a guest a bit better. People do not have to talk about business, of course. Afternoon tea, or coffee, is a relaxed way to spend 45 minutes or an hour talking about business. Dinner is a more formal business event. Generally, this is not a time to talk about business, but rather a time to get to know the other person and enjoy each other’s company.

16. Text A-3 < Back Next > Home Reading A 翻译 声音 3Business meals are multi-tasking jobs which can often turn out to be nightmares. If you want to make a lasting impression, then it pays to be on your best behavior at any such meal. Of course, you need to be knowledgeable in your field, but you also need the style and grace to see you through these events. During a typical business meal you must be a good listener, ask and answer questions intelligently, talk about your company confidently and appear pleasant and relaxed.

17. Text A-4 < Back Next > Home Reading A 声音 翻译 4 Your mastery of good table manners comes in handy. It gives you the confidence of knowing that you can conduct yourself properly. After all, you are trying to have a conversation with your guest, not concentrating on which fork to use. Choosing the correct silverware from the variety in front of you is not as difficult as it may first appear. Always start with the knife, fork or spoon that is farthest from your plate and gradually work your way in. A simple rule to remember is that liquids are to the right and solids are to the left.

18. Text A-5 < Back Next > Home Reading A 声音 翻译 5 Polite dining at the table is one of the codes of behavior that people in the West consider important. By mastering these skills, you become a better representative of your company, a wonderful host, and even more sought-after as a dinner guest.

19. A-Trans-1 < Back Reading A 饭桌生意经 1作为商务宴请的一种形式，商务聚餐被越来越多地用于增进彼此间的信任和信心。从匆忙的早餐到“工作午餐”，从鸡尾酒会到正式的晚餐，西方人大量的商务活动都是在饭桌上进行的。

20. A-Trans-2 < Back Reading A 2早餐会晤很少超过一个小时，带有一定的“紧迫”意味，在商务旅行中很方便安排。要加深对客人的了解，午餐则是最好的形式。当然，午餐中并不是非谈生意不可。花上45分钟或者一小时喝喝下午茶或咖啡，可以轻轻松松地谈生意。晚餐则比较正式，通常不宜谈生意，这是个彼此了解并享受相互之间交往的时刻。

21. A-Trans-3 < Back Reading A 3商务聚餐背负着重重任务，常有可能演变为噩梦连连。如果想给人留下持久的印象，在任何此类应酬中都拿出最佳表现是非常有利的。当然，你得熟知所从事的领域，还得举止优雅，才能顺利应付这些场合。在典型的商务应酬中，你必须认真倾听，机敏问答，并满怀自信地谈论你的公司，同时表现得轻松自若、心情愉悦。

22. A-Trans-4 < Back Reading A 4掌握良好的进餐礼仪非常管用，它能让你充满信心，相信自己可以做到举止得当。毕竟，你是要跟客人交流，而不是专注于用哪只餐叉。正确选择你面前的一堆银餐具并不像一开始看起来那么困难。一定要先取用离你餐盘最远的刀叉和汤匙，然后逐渐地向内取用。要记住一条简单的规则：液体放在右边，固体放在左边。
