Day465-约会时的用餐礼仪

Dining Etiquette When Dating约会时的用餐礼仪·Be sure to make reservations if the restaurant you chose is a fancy or popular one. It’s very embarrassing to show up without reservations and having to wait for a table, leaving very bad impression on your date.务必预约好餐厅，无论你选择的是主流餐厅还是奢华类餐厅。如果没有预约好，还得等位置就非常尴尬了，会给你的约会留下不好的印象。·Also, be sure to check to see if they have a dress code and tell your date in advance what to wear.还要查看餐厅是否有着装要求，提前告诉你约会的伙伴准备好要穿什么。·When your food arrives, proper dinning etiquette requires you to eat at a moderate pace so that you have time to talk.食物上桌时，所谓正确的餐桌礼仪即进食要不紧不慢，这样你就有时间交谈。·A good measure of how fast you should eat is to count 10 seconds between each mouthful and it’s a bad dining etiquette if you gobble down your food and you spend the rest of the time watching your date eat.一个比较好方法去控制你的用餐速度就是每吃一口与下一口相隔10秒钟；如果是狼吞虎咽吃完你的食物，然后剩下的时间都在看你的伙伴吃，这就是一种特别不好的饮食习惯。·Don’t slurp your soup, smack your lips, or chew with your mouth open.千万不要喝汤时出声，也不要咂嘴，更不要张嘴嚼食物。·Nothing is more unsightly than watching someone talk and chew their food at the same time.没有什么比嘴里吃这东西还跟别人讲话更难看的了。·Your napkin should be placed on your lap at all times.你的餐巾要始终铺在你的大腿上。·Don’t tuck it into your belt or use it as a bib.不要把餐巾别进裤腰带里或者把它用成围兜。·If you have to get up, place it neatly on your seat.如果是你要起身，就把餐巾铺整齐放在座位上。·When eating, insert your fork straight in your mouth，Don’t place your fork in the side of your mouth，as it increases the chances of food sliding away, which could be very embarrassing.吃饭时，将叉子直接送到嘴里，不要将叉子停留在嘴边，这样会增加食物滑落的几率，如果滑落就十分尴尬了。·If you get food stuck in your mouth don’t pick it out with your fingers or fork at the table. Excuse yourself and go to the restroom and get it out with a toothpick.如果有食物卡在嘴里，不要用手指扣或是用叉子叉。说声抱歉，去洗手间用牙签挑出了。·When dinning, keep your eyes on your date at all times and try to smile between mouthfuls.用餐时，要始终注视着你的伙伴，尽量微笑。·Occasionally, you should make an effort to show some interest and ask questions like, “How do you like the beef?”If she needs anything, you are the one who is supposed to flag down the waiter by a gentle wave of the hand until someone notices you.有时候，你应该尽量对对方保持兴趣，比如说“你喜欢吃牛肉？”如果对方需要什么，你应该主动挥手示意服务生让服务生注意到你。Language focus 语言焦点1.Fancy restaurant 高档餐厅2.Dress code 着装要求3.etiquette ['etɪket; etɪ'ket] 礼节礼仪Eg：the formal rules for polite behavior in society or in a particular group.·social etiquette 社交礼仪·moderate pace 适度的步伐4.unsightly 难看的，不雅观的 = ugly or unpleasant to look at 5.gobble ['gɒb(ə)l] 狼吞虎咽 ·gobble down / wolf down the food 6.slurp [slɜːp] 出声地吃或喝Eg：To drink a liquid while making a sucking sound. 咕噜咕噜的喝7.Bib 围嘴Eg：a piece of cloth or plastic tied under a baby’s chin to protect its clothes when it is eating.8.flag down 示意停下Eg：All passengers must flag down the driver if they want to board.乘客如果要上车，可以示意司机停车。9.Gentle wave of hand 轻轻挥手
