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.”

【5】Table Manners in Britain

【解析】本文介紹了英國的餐桌禮儀：如何坐著；是否發(fā)出噪音；是否用手拿起食物；如何傳遞東西；是否塞滿嘴地說話；吃多少。

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

【2】根據(jù)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. 可知吃光盤子里的食物可以表明你喜歡這個食物，故此處為Eating up the food that you have been offered.

【3】pick food up 拿起食物，with our fingers 用手； main dishes主菜，故此處為通常我們在吃主菜的時候不用手把食物拿起來吃。

【4】It 是形式主語，真正的主語是to talk with your mouth full of food,“嘴里塞滿食物說話”，nor表示也不，eat with your mouth open “張著嘴吃東西”，故此處的意思為：嘴里塞滿食物說話是不禮貌的，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的餐桌禮儀。故題目為Table Manners in Britain。
