4、ot, it is impolite if he doesn t even lay a finger on the cup.中国的餐桌礼仪和西方的差别还是很大的。中国人认为吃饭时可以说话，相反你们会觉得这很没礼貌。如果在饭桌上你积极参与谈话,别人会觉得你一定是个善于交际、人缘很好的人。不要吃得太快,人们往往要跟其他人吃饭的进度保持一致。各个盘子都应该留下一点别吃完给上门拜访的客人上茶确实是风俗礼节,不需要问他要不要喝茶,或者要不要别的东西。茶端到他面前的时候,他最好双手接住茶杯,欠身致谢。主人给他倒茶时，他也可以在桌面上 轻叩几下食指，表示“叩首谢谢”。不管他喜不喜欢，要是连碰都不碰一下茶杯，

9、时端上，大家在同一时间开始用餐,缺少了中国人相互礼让的过 程,友好的气氛就差了许多。这也许就是中国人吃饭热热闹闹，西方人的餐桌相对安静的原因吧O在中国，喝酒时情感交流的介质。尤其是在北方，和业务伙伴或者“准朋友”喝酒可以增进 感情O）西式酒宴上,你可就自由了，我们乐意为品酒创造便利，品味就的颜色、气味和口感。所以有一点是很重要的,那就是酒杯、桌布和盘子都要擦得一尘不染,为的就是使就的颜色 清楚可见,酒的口感和气味也能感受出来。在西餐桌上,记得不要大声说话,或边嚼边说话。【拓展】文化差异1.

12、so it is sometimes hard to decide when to remove food stuck between the teeth. It is usually best to excuse yourself and go into the bathroom.当着他人的面剔牙是很不礼貌的。西餐厅通常不提供牙签,所以有时候很难决定什么时候该剔 牙。当确实需要清理牙缝间的食物时，最好是上洗手间。4.

Speaking loudly.大声讲话。All Westerners try to keep the conversation to their own table. If the whole

In fact, some westerners find it difficult to do business in Chinese restaurants because the noise level is just too high.用餐时，西方人只会与同桌的人交谈。如果整个餐厅都会听到你的“演讲”，那你的声音就太大 了。实际上,一些西方人认为在中国的餐馆里谈生意是件很理难的事情，因为噪音太大了。8.

21、征得同桌人的同意到外面去抽。三、中国人崇尚的颜色China s Favorite Colors(l)Chinese people seem to like the red and yellow clors a lot. The two colors are used for the Chinese national flag.(2)Maybe because the Hans originated in the Yellow River Plateau, a region where yellow was the prevailing color.(1) Yellow was also the
22、 color representing the imperial court in traditional China. During the Sui Dynasty, yellow was officially designated as the exlusive color for the imperial family.(4)In olden times, a person could be beheaded for the misuse of yellow.(5)Red represents happiness. For example, the word “double happin
23、ess” used for wedding is red. The bride wears red clothes, which is different from the white gowns of the West.(6)During Chinese Spring Festival, people will give hong bao, or red envelopes with money inside to the children as well wishes. Couplets hanging on both sides of the doors are written in r
24、ed.中国人似乎很喜欢红黄两色。中国的国旗就是由这两种颜色组成。这也许是因为汉民族的发源地是黄土高原,这个地域满目黄土之色。在中国古代,黄色是皇权的象征。从隋朝起,黄色成为皇家专用的颜色。(4)古时用错了黄色会杀头红是喜庆的象征。比如结幅时的双喜字是红色的,新娘要穿红色的嫁衣，这与西方穿白色婚 纱不同。春节时,送晚辈压岁钱要用红纸包了，称“红包”，以示吉祥。对联也是用红纸书写，贴在大 门的两侧。四、喝茶 The Tea-Drinking (1)(DBelieve it or not, tea is the most popular beverage in the world afer wate
25、r. (2)China is the homeland of tea.(3)Did you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world , was invented by accident.(4)Some leaves from a nearby bush fell into the boiling water and remained there before some time.(5)The emperor Shen Nung noticed that leaves in the water produced a pleasant
26、smell.(6)The tea bag was not made with drinking in mind.(7)A tea importer was sending out samples of tea that were packaged in silk bags. Not knowing any better, his customers put the entire bags into the pot and added hot water. It turned out that the tea tasted fine, and the customers liked how ea
27、sy the bags were to clean up.你知道吗？除了水,世界上最受欢迎的饮料就是茶了。茶起源于中国。你知道吗?世界上最流行的饮料一一茶,是在偶然的机会里被发明出来的。当时附近树上落下几片叶子,飘到开水里,在水里煮了一会儿。神农帝发现开水中的叶子产生一种香香的味道。茶包本来不是用来喝茶的。曾有一位茶叶进口商送了一些用丝质袋子包装的茶叶样品给顾客。他的顾客不知情,将整个 袋子放在茶壶里泡热水。结果发现茶的为傲不错,而且用袋子就比较清理,顾客很喜欢这点。五、The Tea-Drinking (2) W(DThe Chinese people, in their drinking
28、of tea, place much significance on the act of “savoring” .(2)In classical novels, if someone drinks tea out of a big cup to quench his thirst, the word used to illustrate this action is “drink” , like a cow drinking water.Scholars would use fine cups to drink tea and the word to use is “savour”.(3)I
29、n the old days, people used iron kettles to boil water. Tea was placed in a paper bag. Porcelain cups were used for drinking.(4)The water came from melted snow which was collected from plum blossom trees the previous winter and stored underground in a jar. No one collects snow any more because of po
30、llution so people use bottled water instead.(5)Tea has categories:red tea, green tea, Wulong tea and Pu er tea. The first three types of tea are processed using similar methods but Pu er tea uses a totally different method. It contains a kind of fungus which is believed to be healthy. The fungus wil
31、l ferment on its own after the tea is processed. That s why expensive Pu er tea is always quite old.中国人饮茶，注重一个“品”字。在古典小说中,某人用大杯喝茶解渴被称为“饮”，指此人像牛般饮水;而雅士用精致的茶 具喝茶被称为“品”。古人用铁壶烧水,用纸袋装茶,用瓷杯饮茶。泡茶的水是前一年冬天从梅花树上收集起来的,装在瓷坛中埋入地下的雪水。因为污染,没 有人再收集雪水泡茶,取而代之的是瓶装矿泉水。茶大概分为这样几种:红茶、绿茶、乌龙茶和普洱茶。前三种茶的制作方法是一样的,普洱茶 的制作方法则不同。
32、普洱茶本身含有一种有益的霉菌，在制成后会随着时间而自然发酵。这也是普 洱茶年头越长越值钱的原因。六、The Secret of Numbers 数字的秘密(l)In Cantonese, the number 8 has a similar pronounciation to,the word uprosper. ”(2)Guangdong is one of the first provinces to benefit from China s open policy. There is a lot of temptation to become wealthy , so “8 is a l
33、ucky number for people in Guangdong.(3) 6 is often associated with smoothness. Many people like to choose a date for their weddings which includes the number “6” .(4)ln contrast, 4 is the least favorable, because it sounds very similar to the word, “death” . Many building s do not, even, use the num
34、ber for their elevator programming.(5)Now, as a result of Western influence, more Chinese people started to dislike the number “13” .广东话里“8”与“发”同音，有发财的意思。广东是中国最先受益于改革开放政策的省份之一,金钱的诱惑力很大,人人豆做着发财的梦, 因此“8”成为人们偏爱的数字。(4) “6”有顺利之意,许多人爱选带“6”的日子作为结婚日子。相比之下，“4”与“死”同音，是最不讨人喜欢的数字。不少建筑物甚至没有“4”层。现在，受西方文化的影响，许多中国人
35、开始讨厌数字“13” 了。七、美食的色相The Color of Food(l)There are eight major culinary styles in China. Color combinations reflect the local features of each style.(2)Take Guangdong food for example. Because it is hot and humid there, people are mindful of the heat on their internal organs. Therefore Guangdong food
36、 is mild in both taste and color combinations. You don t find a lot of hot and spicy food in Guangdong dishes because warm color in the hot summer can be repulsive to people s appetite.(3)Sichuan food is just the opposite. Sichuan is also very humid but, unlike Guangdong, Sichuan people choose to use extremely hot peppers to open their stomach.中国有八大菜系,在色相上体现出地域的特点。比如粤菜，出自广东，哪里气候炎热而潮湿,人们特别在意五脏燥热,所以广东菜色泽和味道 均以清淡为主,辛辣的食物在粤菜中不多见。因为炎热的天气，暖色调的食物会让人没有食欲。川菜就不同，四川气候也湿热，但与广东不同，四川人选择用极辣的辣椒来对付食欲低下。
