2012-07-31来源:21st英语网
France
法国

Lonely Planet: never discuss money or religion over dinner. Going Dutch is considered "the height of unsophistication".
"孤独星球":餐桌上不要讨论金钱或宗教信仰问题。在法国人眼中,AA制会被视作极其不通世故的。

Tradition: In France, a meal is like a ceremony. People relish it and make it's a special occasion.
文化传统:在法国,用餐就像是一种仪式。人们享受这一过程,并将其看作是一种特殊场合。

What else to watch: In contrast to the etiquette in Russia, it's considered good manners to finish everything on your plate.
其他注意事项:与俄罗斯的餐桌礼仪相反,在法国吃光盘中餐被认为是一种礼貌行为。

People often cut bread directly on a table cloth rather than on a plate. Tear your bread into bite-sized pieces before eating. Taking a bite from the whole piece is very impolite.
人们通常直接在桌布上切面包,而不是盘子上。吃之前要先将面包撕成小块。拿着整个面包咬着吃很不礼貌。

Mexico
墨西哥

Lonely Planet: Whenever you catch the eye of someone who's eating, even a stranger, it's good manners to say "provecho", which means enjoy.
"孤独星球":如果你跟某个正在用餐的人目光相遇,哪怕是陌生人,你也应礼貌地说:"provecho", 即"祝您好胃口"的意思。

Tradition: In Mexico, dining is more than a meal. It's a social occasion - lunches are rarely quick and suppers can last for hours.
文化传统:在墨西哥,就餐不仅仅是填饱肚子那么简单,更是一种社交场合——午餐很少会匆忙结束战斗,晚饭要吃上几个小时。

What else to watch: Where you sit matters in the country. Before you get seated, look for place cards, or wait until the host seats you.
其他注意事项:在墨西哥,你就坐的位置很重要。就坐前,要看清座位卡,或是等主人领你就坐。

And you must say "enjoy your meal" before you leave the table.
离席前一定要说:"请慢用!"

Drinking
饮酒

Lonely Planet has offered helpful drinking tips.
"孤独星球"还提供了实用的《饮酒小贴士》。

America
在美国

If you empty a bottle into someone's glass, it obliges that person to buy the next bottle. It's polite to put the last drops into your own glass.
如果你将瓶中剩下的酒都倒进某人的杯中,那么这个人就不得不再买一瓶酒。因此礼貌的做法是将最后一滴酒倒入自己杯中。

Australia
在澳大利亚

In a pub it's customary to buy a round of drinks for everyone in your group. When it's your turn say "It's my round". They'll make it up to you when it's their round. Don't leave before you've bought a round.
在酒吧里,按照惯例,每个人都要为所有同伴买酒。轮到你时,你要说:"让我来请大家喝酒。"轮到别人时,他们也会做东答谢你。如果你想离开,也要等到请完酒之后再走。

Japan
在日本

Don't fill your own glass of alcohol, instead, you should pour for others and wait for them to reciprocate.
不要自己给自己斟酒。相反,你应该为别人斟酒,然后再等别人来为你斟酒。

Russia
俄罗斯

Adhere to the vodka rituals. Vodka is for toasting, not sipping. Men, but not women, are expected to down shots in one gulp. Never mix vodka with another beverage or dilute it. And don't place an empty bottle on the table - it must be placed on the floor.
要遵守喝伏特加的礼节。伏特加是用来敬酒的,不能啜饮。男士要一饮而尽,女士则不用。一定不要将伏特加与其他饮料混合,也不要稀释它。不要将空瓶放在桌上,一定要放在地上。

Sweden
在瑞典

It's considered impolite to clink glasses unless you say "cheers".
碰杯被认为是不礼貌的,除非当你说"干杯"时。
