4. Good Manners
好的禮儀
It can be considered rude if you don’t eat all of your rice. It is not necessary to finish all of the side dishes on the table, but the rice is a must. You should never blow your nose at the table – this is considered to be one of the rudest actions possible. Other banned acts: leaving chopsticks in your bowl between bites, eating with your mouth open, talking with your mouth full, overeating, and using your hands to pick up dishes. You should also not start eating before the oldest person at the table starts. When you have finished eating, your spoon and chopsticks return to the place from whence they came: on the table. You should never leave utensils poking out of dishes.
如果你不吃完碗里所有的飯,會被認為是沒有教養(yǎng)的 。桌子上的菜可以不吃完,但是米飯是必須吃完 。也不要在飯桌上擤鼻涕,這也被認為是最不禮貌的行為之一 。其他禁止的行為還包括:咀嚼的時候把筷子放在碗里;咀嚼的時候張嘴;嘴里有東西的時候說話;吃得太多;用手吃等等 。在吃飯前,你應(yīng)當在最年長的人開吃之后才動筷 。當你吃完飯了以后,把你的湯勺和筷子放到它們在桌面上最初的位置 。不要用餐具戳碰除了飯菜以外的東西 。
