商务聚会时尽量不要点用刀叉处理起来难度较高的菜,像意大利面、豆类等都不太建议。During a business dinner, stick to foods that are easy to cut with a fork and knife。

  要等主人发出用餐信号之后再动刀叉。NEVER start eating before a signal from the host to do so。

  餐桌上吃出声音是非常不礼貌的,特别是嚼食物发出的啧啧声。The number one sin of dinner table etiquette: loud eating noises such as slurping!
