　　People in different countries have different ways of doing things．Something that is polite in one country may be quite impolite in another．In Britain, you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some liquid(液体)food．But it’s different in China．And in Japan you even needn’t worry about making noises when you have it．It shows that you are enjoying it．But it is regarded as bad manners(礼貌；方式)in Britain．If you are a visitor in Mongolia, what manners do they wish you to have?They wish you to give a loud “burp”(打嗝)after you finish eating, Burping shows that you like the food．

　　In Britain, you should try not to put your hands on the table when you’re having a meal．In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table during a meal．But in Arab countries you must be very careful with your hands．You mustn’t eat with your left hand．Arabs consider it very bad manners eating with left hands．So, what should you do if you are on a visit in another country?Well, just do in Rome as the Romans do．You can ask the native(本土的)people to help you or just watch carefully and follow them．

Table Manners In America

　　Don’t circle your plate with your arms．If you do so, you will become the focus (焦点)of the table．Everyone would wonder, “Is there anything wrong with the food?”This may give a wrong message that you don’t like the food or something like that．

　　Don’t push the plate back when finished．Leave it where it was．Do you want to let the hostess(女主人)know that you’ve just done a labour?

　　Don’t lean(倚靠)back and say“ I’m through” or“ I’m full”．Just put the fork and knife across the plate．That’s all．

　　Don’t cut up everything before you start to eat．Cut only one or two bites(块)at a time．

　　Never take a huge mouthful of anything．Do you want to show how hungry you are?Don’t do that．It’s not so good．

　　It’s never good to reach across the table for anything．If the thing you want is not at hand, simply ask the nearest person for help, like“Mrs．Smith, could you pass me the dish?”
