文化知识小贴士
邀请朋友吃饭是中西方文化中的常见现象。如果要邀请英语国家的人在餐馆吃饭,要注意以下事项。首先,绝大多数英语国家的人习惯于提前制订工作和生活计划,如有可能,一般至少要提前一周约定好吃饭时间和地点;其次,最好告知客人赴宴时的着装是正式的还是非正式的;第三,主人应稍微提前点到约好的餐馆等待客人;第四,如果围桌用餐,最好准备公筷和公勺,并给客人配备刀叉;第五,最好不要给客人夹菜,更不能用自己的筷子给客人夹菜。劝客人多吃一点,可以说“please help yourself.”。最后,请客菜量要适中,避免浪费。假如你邀请英美朋友到你家吃饭,他称赞你做的其中一道菜很好吃,说道:“this dish is tasty.”,你觉得下面的哪个回答比较合适?
a. yes, it’s delicious,isn’t it?
b. you’re welcome.
c. i’m glad you like it.
d. it’s very ordinary.
e. thank you. it’s not difficult to make,actually.
