Question

【題目】

Different countries have different ideas about how to be polite. In Britain, table manners are important. But how do you show good table manners in Britain? Here is some advice:

How to sit: You should sit up straight in your chair. When you eat, don’t pick up the bowl. This is called very bad manners.

Noises at the table: It is never a good idea to make a noise at the table.

Using your fingers: 62Usually we don’t pick food up with our fingers when we are eating main dishes. But there are some foods such as pizza, sandwiches, chips and fruit we can eat with fingers.

Passing things: If someone asks you to pass something like the salt, only get it if you are the closest person to it. Never lean (傾斜, 傾倒) across someone else’s food. It’s more polite not to use it yourself first --- pass it directly to the person who asked, and then use it later. It’s best to taste your food before you put salt in it.

Your mouth: 63 It is not polite to talk with your mouth full of food, nor to eat with your mouth open.

How much to eat: It is polite to eat up the food that you have been offered, so a clear plate is a good plate. It shows that you enjoy the food. If you can’t finish everything and you can leave a little, that is okay. You could say something like “That was very nice, thank you.”

【1】根據(jù)How to sit: You should sit up straight in your chair.可知在英國(guó)吃飯時(shí)，你應(yīng)該在椅子上坐直了，故此處為We should sit up straight in our chairs.

【3】pick food up 拿起食物，with our fingers 用手； main dishes主菜，故此處為通常我們?cè)诔灾鞑说臅r(shí)候不用手把食物拿起來(lái)吃。

【4】It 是形式主語(yǔ)，真正的主語(yǔ)是to talk with your mouth full of food,“嘴里塞滿(mǎn)食物說(shuō)話(huà)”，nor表示也不，eat with your mouth open “張著嘴吃東西”，故此處的意思為：嘴里塞滿(mǎn)食物說(shuō)話(huà)是不禮貌的，也不要張著嘴吃東西。

【5】根據(jù)But how do you show good table manners in Britain? Here is some advice:可知本文主要介紹了在英國(guó)的餐桌禮儀。故題目為T(mén)able Manners in Britain。
