第一篇:中西方餐桌礼仪对比英语演讲稿
Today, I will introduce the differences of table manners between China and West.My presentation is divided into five parts: background and objectives, arrangement of seat, tablewares, atmospheres at table and conclusion.With the development of global economy, cross-culture communication has become more and more frequent, and the differences between Chinese and western culture have become more obvious, especially the differences of table manners.Having dinner is more than the basic necessity of life.Instead, having dinner is an important part in people’s daily life.By learning the differences between Chinese and western table manners, we can open up eyesight, acquire more information and expand the circle of communication.Chinese arrangement of seat is differ from western’s.Chinese people always choose round tables when entering friends and seats at one table also have different meanings.The seat opposite to the door is the door seat, which is for chief guests or elders;the seats beside are the second honor seat which are for other guests;the seats that opposite to the honor seat are the inferior seat.Inferior seat are for the host and hostess.Hosts sit down on the inferior seats after all the guests sit down.Differently, western people prefer long table to round table when entering friends.The host and the hostess seat at both end of the table.The chief guest sits at the upper right side of the hostess, and the wife of the chief guest seats at the upper right side of the host.The differences are associated with many reasons.Chinese people believe that individual consciousness should obey group consciousness, while western people prefer individual consciousness.Chinese people lay emphasis on revering elders and caring the young, while Western’s is self-expression and equals.Chinese and western tablewares are also different.Chopsticks are the main tablewares in Chinese food culture.It’s impolite to insert chopsticks straightly into the food, because only when sacrificing the death do Chinese people doing so.What’s more,using chopsticks that licked to pick up food is very impolite and will make other guests feel sick.In West, people usually use knife, fork and spoon.The right order to use tablewares is to pick from outside to inside.As we all known, Chinesetable atmosphere always noisy and always the noisier the better.But western’s is always quiet.Because Chinese people consider eating as the happiest thing in their lives and begin to talk at the time they sit down and even help guests with food to show respect and warmth.On the contrast, western people avoid urging others drinking and picking up food to others.They emphasizing individual rights and privacy and begin to eat food from their own plates.In conclusion, Chinese table culture pays particular attention to the order among people.Western table culture pays attention more on harmoniously use of tools.And in cross culture communication, the misunderstandings caused by culture barrier appear frequently.Sometimes well-meaning talking might make people embarrassed.So, studying the differences is necessary.

研究目的
• 中国和西方(以美国为代表)社会文化、历史发展的不同造就了中西餐饮文化的差别。有人形象地说:如果说中餐大餐文化像是一首混声大合唱,那西餐(大餐)就像是一支浪漫的小夜曲;如果说中餐馆充满了一股阳刚之气,那西餐厅则富有一种阴柔之美;中餐馆营造的是一种公众交友的场所,而西餐厅则是在制造私密幽会的空间,可见中西餐饮文化本质的差异。理解这些差异,分析比较这些差异,了解中西方餐饮文化的不同,从而让自己在各个场合中避免尴尬,享受饮食带来的愉悦。研究内容
• 1.中餐餐饮礼仪文化内容 • 2.西餐餐饮礼仪文化内容 • 3.中西餐饮礼仪文化对比 研究方案
1、查阅资料 •
2、采访专家
3、实地调查 研究成果整理
中方餐饮礼仪文化内容 ——座位安排
圆桌:
正对大门的为首席,上位左右手边的位置,则以离首席的距离来看,越靠近首席位置越尊,相同距离则右侧尊于左侧。八仙桌:
如果有正对大门的座位,则正对大门一侧的右位为首席。如果不正对大门,则面东的一侧右席为首席。
• 圆桌成清中叶后饭店酒楼流行的餐台式样,今日家庭中亦普遍使用,其座次一般是依餐厅或室内的方位与装饰设计风格而定,或取向门、朝阳,或依厅室设计装饰风格所体现出的重心与突出位置设首位,而隆重的大型宴会则往往在各餐台座位前预先摆放座位卡(席签),所发请柬上则标明与宴者的台号。
——就餐过程
• 在中国第一道菜是汤,紧接着是主食辟如干饭,再则是餐酒最后一道菜是水果用来促进消化;在中国餐具较简单一般只有杯子、盘子、碗、碟子、筷子、匙羹等几种
• 中国人饮汤时是用匙羹从碗里勺起来喝或直接用碗饮,而喝的时候发出声音,这是很不礼貌的行为。喝汤也不能吸着喝。先用汤匙由后往前将汤舀起,汤匙的底部放在下唇的位置将汤送入口中。汤匙与嘴部呈45°角较好。身体上半部略微前倾。碗中的汤剩下不多时,可用手指将碗略微抬高。如果汤用有握环的碗装,可直接拿住握环端起来喝。
• 会喝酒的人饮酒前,应有礼貌地品尝一下。可以欣赏酒的色彩,闻一下酒香慢慢品味。不要为显示自己的海量,举起酒杯看也不看,便一饮而尽,使酒顺着嘴角往下流。也不必矫揉造作地在举杯时翘起小手指,以显示自己的优雅举止。不宜一边饮酒,一边吸烟。鉴于酒后容易失言和失礼,故在涉外活动中饮酒的酒量要控制在自己平日酒量的一半以下。不要一看对方的盛情或美酒佳肴,便忘乎所以了。有教养的饮酒者饮酒时是不会让他人听到吞咽之声的,倒酒时只宜八成满。•
——就餐时的礼仪
• 在中国饮食文化传统中,请别人吃菜时往往会说:“没什么吃的,请随便”、“别客气!”,而回答往往用“哪里!如此多好菜,够丰盛了!”
• 而在当今的中国,许多人既吃烟又喝酒,有一种社会怪现象似乎是“不吃烟不喝酒”就无以社交。而且对于中国的政界,特别是在中层或下层当官,混饭吃的,几乎没有不吸烟喝酒的,若他们没有这种嗜好,似乎也就等于自断了前程。所以在中国的餐桌上依旧存在吞云吐雾、烂醉如泥的“漏习”,尽管他们知道这有伤风范,但依旧不能禁绝之。想必这就是文化迁移和发展的不完全性、不彻底性的表现,我们有必要在正确理解和认识文化现象的基础上,不断推动人文文化的发展,提高民族人文素质。
• 筵席中暂时停餐,可以把筷子直搁在碟子或者调羹上。如果将筷子横搁在碟子上,那是表示酒醉饭饱不再进膳了。
西方餐饮礼仪文化内容 ——座位安排
• 在西方,一般说来,面对门的离门最远的那个座位是女主人的,与之相对的是男主人的座位。女主人右手边的座位是第一主宾席,一般是位先生,男主人右边的座位是第二主宾席,一般是主宾的夫人。女主人左边的座位是第三主宾席,男主人的左边的座位是第四主宾席。
• 在西方餐桌礼仪(table manners)中,特别是在正式宴会对餐具的陈设也有一定讲究,它们也理应成为table manners中的一部分,因为对餐具陈设摆放中不但体现了中西方饮食习俗的差异,也体现了对宾客的尊重、友好。西餐中通常主要使用刀、叉(dinner knife and fork),就正如中国人使用筷子(chopsticks)一样。不过,他们的餐叉分得很细,包括salad fork, dinner fork, dessert fork,etc.• 喝汤时不要啜,吃东西时要闭嘴咀嚼。不要舔嘴唇或咂嘴发出声音。如汤菜过热,可待稍凉后再吃,不要用嘴吹。喝汤时,用汤勺从里向外舀,汤盘中的汤快喝完时,用左手将汤盘的外侧稍稍翘起,用汤勺舀净即可。吃完汤菜时,将汤匙留在汤盘(碗)中,匙把指向自己。•
喝酒的方法: • 首先是握酒杯:正确的握杯姿势是用手指轻握杯脚,为避免手的温度使酒温增高,应用大拇指、中指、食指握住杯脚,小指放在杯子的底台固定。接着是饮酒:喝酒时绝对不能吸着喝,而是倾斜酒杯,像是将酒放在舌头上似的喝。轻轻摇动酒杯让酒与空气接触以增加酒味的醇香,但不要猛烈摇晃杯子。此外,一饮而尽,边喝边透过酒杯看人,都是失礼的行为。不要用手指擦杯沿上的口红印,用面巾纸擦较好。
• 当今许多西方人,尤其是美国人不喜欢吃烟或喝酒,许多人也不喜欢别人在他们的住处吸烟喝酒。所以,当你想吸烟喝酒时,应征求他人同意。•
• 下午茶:
• 时下的英式下午茶一般在下午三点半到四点半进行。英式下午茶的专用红茶为产自英属殖民地印度的大吉岭红茶与伯爵茶、或锡兰高地红茶。除此之外英国也有在下午茶时喝奶茶的习惯。随茶而来的还有切成薄片的柠檬及奶罐。随著时间的推移,一些在早期上不得台面的加味茶也逐渐被人们所接受,这令下午茶在普通民众中流传更为广泛。
• 正式的下午茶点心一般被垒成“三层架”的形式:第一层放置各种口味的三文治(tea sandwich),第二层是英国的传统点心松饼(scone),第三层则是小蛋糕和水果塔。这个三层架点心应先从下往上吃。除了这种必不可少的三层点心,一些牛角面包、葡萄干、鱼子酱等食品也会被摆上来,来迎合宾客的口味。• 在西方略事休息时,刀叉的摆法不同意思不同,刀叉以八字形状摆在盘子中央意味着要略作休息;若刀叉突出到盘子外面,不安全也不好看,边说话边挥舞刀叉是失礼举动。用餐后,将刀叉摆成四点钟方向即可 中西餐饮礼仪文化对比 ——宴会着装
在衣着方面,在中国,人们在餐馆用餐的穿着可以随便 一些,即使是T恤、牛仔裤都可以,只有在重要的宴会 上方穿得隆重一些。
在西方去高档的餐厅,男士要穿着整洁的上衣和皮鞋; 女士要穿套装和有跟的鞋子。如果指定穿正式服装的话,男士必须打领带。不可穿休闲服到餐馆里用餐。心得
中餐总体趋于简洁,西餐趋于高雅和讲究,但中餐食物却趋于繁复或艺术,而西餐食物却趋于便利和营养。这也许正体现中西方人对饮食文化的不同诠释和理解,体现他们不同的价值观念和不同的社会意识形态。我们各自都有着对形式与内容不同程度地追求,但都有着一个共同之处,也即文化的通融:都力求形式与内容的不断完善,这种完善是人类文明进步的标志,也同样是促进人类文明进步的推动力,它反映了一个民族的思维特征,也反映了一个民族的生活特点。组长感言:
作为课题组组长,我明白了领导在团队中发挥的重要作用。有时在分配工作过于疏忽,执意按自己的意愿去做,结果造成某些缺漏和过失。多亏了组员的及时纠正和谅解,整项工作才得以按计划进行。俗话说:“团结就是力量”。所以培养团队精神是至关重要的,它是决定成败关键因素。
成员感言: • 这段日子,我们一起外出调查,一起查阅资料,一起总结分析,一起解决问题。经历了如此之多,组员之间不知不觉中建立了友谊,加深升华了友谊,这对以后的生活和学习无疑会起巨大的作用。• ——陈淑萍
• 通过这次调查,我们发现:中西讲究不同,而现在西方饮食已经受到了我们的欢迎。但我们要说的是:我们在吸取别人好的一面时,也要维护、发扬自己国家的文化。这样才不会使中国悠久的文化被毁灭。• —— 朱慧娴 •
• 我们在研究性学习中不断收获,得到锻炼,提升自我。经过此次实践活动,我学会了对信息进行收集、分析和判断,去获取知识、应用知识、解决问题,从而增强思考力和创造力。• ——何华斌
• 这次研究活动中,我对自己取得的成果有喜悦感、成就感,感受到与他人协作交流的乐趣。获得丰富的跨文化知识,及客观、无偏见的跨文化观念和世界意识,并形成有效的跨文化交往,理解、比较、参照、摄取、舍弃、合作、传播的能力。• —— 陈少阳
• 从这次的研究过程中,我感受到中西方文化有着明显的差异,它们折射出了不同名族的观念。中国人遵循了“贬己尊人”的原则。而西方人强调效率和实用主义价值观,在交际中十分注重自身面子的需要。•
——张慧敏
• 我学到了在不同场合饮食的文明礼仪,从而让我更加自信地在往后的聚会中,无论是与家人朋友,还是与外国友人,都能显得从容淡定,彬彬有礼,给他人留下良好的印象。•
——何文燕
通过课题研究我们对不同国家的餐桌礼仪情况有更全面的了解,自主发现问题、提出问题,并寻求各种途径处理解决问题,促进了大家的实践活动能力。同时通过小组合作调查、采访、汇报交流促进大家的协作探究精神、学习交流能力、相互欣赏意识的生成以及学生人际交往、口头表达、自我评价等能力的提高。——林晓源
第三篇:中西方餐桌礼仪对比及其深层文化差异材料
中西方餐桌礼仪的差异
信息之舟精文荟萃栏目编者按:
不少人在吃西餐时,都会担心“失礼”。其实,所谓餐桌礼仪是为了让餐膳可以不受阻碍和破坏,而得以顺利流畅地进行的实用守则。谨记“整齐、清洁和保持安静”三项原则便可无往而不利。
一、宴会礼仪
(1)在当你应邀赴宴时,你对同桌进餐的人和餐桌上的谈话,大概要比对饮食要更感兴趣。因此进餐时,应该尽可能地少一些声响,少一些动作。
(2)女主人一拿起餐巾时,你也就可以拿起你的餐巾,放在腿上。有时餐巾中包有一只小面包;如果是那样的话就把它取也,放在旁边的小碟上。
(3)餐巾如果很大,就双叠着放在腿上;如果很小,就全部打开。千万别将餐巾别在领上或背心上,也不要在手中乱揉。可以用餐巾的一角擦去嘴上或手指上的油渍或脏物。千万别用它来擦刀叉或碗碟。
(4)正餐通常从汤开始。在你座前最大的一把匙就是汤匙,它就在你的右边的盘子旁边。不要错用放在桌子中间的那把匙子,因为那可能是取蔬菜可果酱用的。
(5)在女主人拿起她的匙子或叉子以前,客人不得食用任何一道菜。女主人通常要等到每位客人都拿到菜后才开始。她不会像中国习惯那样,请你先吃。当她拿起匙或叉时,那就意味着大家也可以那样做了。
(6)如果有鱼这道菜的话,它多半在汤以后送上,桌上可能有鱼的一把专用叉子,它也可能与吃肉的叉子相似,通常要小一些,总之,鱼叉放在肉叉的外侧离盘较远的一侧。
(7)通常在鱼上桌之前,鱼骨早就剔净了,如果你吃的那块鱼还有刺的话,你可以左手拿着面包卷,或一块面包,右手拿着刀子,把刺拨开。
(8)如果嘴里有了一根刺,就应悄悄地,尽可能不引起注意地用手指将它取出,放在盘子边沿上,别放在桌上,或扔在地下。
此外,我对法国餐桌礼仪的忌讳有些了解,如后:
二、法国餐桌礼仪七忌
答应对方的邀请后如果临时有事要迟到甚至取消约会,必须事先通知对方。赴会时稍迟是可以接受的,但若超过15分钟便会给对方不重视约会的坏印象。在点菜时自己应选定想吃的食物,如果看遍菜牌也没有头绪的话,可请侍应为你推荐餐厅的招牌菜,但要给明确的表示,如想吃海鲜、不吃红肉等,切记事事拿不定主意,只懂说“是但(随便也罢)”的人只会为同台客人添加麻烦。用餐要注意的细节甚多,但其实大部分也是日常的礼仪,只要保持冷静,不做大动作,不出声响或阻碍别人用餐的话已算合格。
1、使用餐具最基本的原则是由外至内,完成一道菜后侍奉收去该份餐具,按需要或会补上另一套刀叉。
2、吃肉类时(如牛扒)应从角落开始切,吃完一块再切下一块。遇到不吃的部分或配菜,只需将
它移到碟边。
3、如嘴里有东西要吐出来,应将叉子递到嘴边接出,或以手指取出,再移到碟子边沿。整个过程要尽量不要引别人注意,之后自然地用餐便可。
4、遇到豆类或饭一类的配菜,可以左手握叉平放碟上,叉尖向上,再以刀子将豆类或饭轻拨到叉子上便可。若需要调味料但伸手又取不到,可要求对方递给你,千万不要站起来俯前去取。
5、吃完抹手抹嘴切忌用餐巾大力擦,注意仪态用餐巾的一角轻轻印去嘴上或手指上的油渍便可。
6、就算凳子多舒服,坐姿都应该保持正直,不要靠在椅背上面。进食时身体可略向前靠,两臂应紧贴身体,以免撞到隔壁。
7、吃完每碟菜之后,如将刀叉四边放,又或者打交叉乱放,非常难看。正确方法是将刀叉并排放在碟上,叉齿朝上。

中西方餐桌礼仪差异
内容预览:
中西方餐桌礼仪的差异是很多的。不少人在吃西餐时,都会担心“失礼”。其实,所谓餐桌礼仪是为了让餐膳可以不受阻碍和破坏,而得以顺利流畅地进行的实用守则。谨记“整齐、清洁和保持安静”三项原则便可无往而不利。
一、宴会礼仪(1)在当你应邀赴宴时,你对同桌进餐的人和餐桌上的谈话,大概要比对饮食要更感兴趣。因此进餐时,应该尽可能地少一些声响,少一些动作。(2)女主人一拿起餐巾时,你也就可以拿起你的餐巾,放在腿上。有时餐巾中包有一只小面包;如果是那样的话就把它取也,放在旁边的小碟上。(3)餐巾如果很大,就双叠着放在腿上;如果很小,就全部打开。千万别将餐巾别在领上或背心上,也不要在手中乱揉。可以用餐巾的一角擦去嘴上或手指上的油渍或脏物。千万别用它来擦刀叉或碗碟。(4)正餐通常从汤开始。在你座前最大的一把匙就是汤匙,它就在你的右边的盘子旁边。不要错用放在桌子中间的那把匙子,因为那可能是取蔬菜可果酱用的。(5)在女主人拿起她的匙子或叉子以前,客人不得食用任何一道菜。女主人通常要等到每位客人都拿到菜后才开始。她不会像中国习惯那样,请你先吃。当她拿起匙或叉时,那就意味着大家也可以那样做了。(6)如果有鱼这道菜的话,它多半在汤以后送上,桌上可能有鱼的一把专用叉子,它也可能与吃肉的叉子相似,通常要小一些,总之,鱼叉放在肉叉的外侧离盘较远的一侧。(7)通常在鱼上桌之前,鱼骨早就剔净了,如果你吃的那块鱼还有刺的话,你可以左手拿着面包卷,或一块面包,右手拿着刀子,把刺拨开。(8)如果嘴里有了一根刺,就应悄悄地,尽可能不引起注意地用手指将它取出,放在盘子边沿上,别放在桌上,或扔在地下。此外,我中西方餐桌礼仪差异„„
本站提供转自http://(四)表示停餐方法
中方:筵席中暂时停餐,可以把筷子直搁在碟子或者调羹上。如果将筷子横搁在碟子上,那是表示酒醉饭饱不再进膳了。西方:略事休息时,刀叉的摆法。如果吃到一半想放下刀叉略作休息,应把刀叉以八字形状摆在盘子中央。若刀叉突出到盘子外面,不安全也不好看。边说话边挥舞刀叉是失礼举动。用餐后,将刀叉摆成四点钟方向即可。
(五)手机:在吃西餐的时候基本上都不会开手机,除非你有非常重要的事情,而手机铃声都会很小声,有电话要给大家说“对不起”,然后起身出去听电话。这一条吃中餐的时候也适用,在用餐的时候听电话走到哪里都是让人唾弃的。
讲到吃的礼节,不同的国家或文化常存在着许多差异,亚洲人认为挺礼貌的举动,欧洲人见了可能感到很不文雅;中东国家餐桌上特殊的用餐礼仪,到了美国人的餐桌上使用起来就变成了粗鲁的动作了尽管有着许多不同。
换个角度来看,西方的宴客形式,从正式到非正式,远远多于中国。大致说来,他们有以下八种宴请形式:有席位的宴请(seated dinners),自助餐(buffet dinners),正式午餐(luncheons),招待会(receptions),鸡尾酒会(cocktail parties),聚餐会(BYOB and BYOF=Bring your own bottles and bring your own food),野餐(picnics),茶会(tea parties)。而从传统习俗上说,中国人请客,不论按长、尊、主、次围桌而坐,满桌丰盛的酒菜,主人频频劝酒,客人谦让礼到。中国人觉得这样的宴客方式才能体现主人的热情和诚恳。另外宴客时崇尚热闹欢快的气氛,讲究面子排场。排场之大,气氛之热闹常常令人叹为观止。
较随便的形式则是主人邀上三五知己,到家中由女主人炒几个菜,小酌一番。这种随便的宴客形式不讲究礼仪,不讲究坐次,不讲究饭菜,只讲气氛的和谐、主人的热诚、主客谈话的投机。当然,近年来西方的一些宴客形式,如酒会、招待会、自助餐或冷餐也会传到中国,但这些多是官方或单位出面组织的宴请形式,平民百姓还少有实行。其次,中西在宴客的观念上有较大的差异。而中国人请客吃饭,重在饭菜本身。宴席上的酒菜一定要丰富多彩。如果做得到,一定是山珍海味,美味佳肴。否则,很难称的上是在请客。中国人宴客时重视饭菜本身起源于中国人的传统价值观念:民以食为天;食色性也。在衣食住行四大生活要素中食为首。
西方人的饮食观念不同于中国人,林语堂先生说,英美人仅以“吃”为对一个生物的机器注入燃料,只要他们吃了以后能保持身体的结识,足以抵御病菌的感染,其他皆再不足道中。由于这一点,英语国家的饮食文化,尤其在烹饪方面不但逊色于中国,也远不如法意等国。他们的传统饭菜比较单一乏味。但比较注重营养,力求口味的清淡和膳食的均衡。
中西宴客方面的另一大差异,也就是餐桌气氛上的差异。总的来说是西方餐桌上静,中国餐桌上动。西方人平日好动,挥手耸肩等形体语言特别丰富。但一坐到餐桌上便专心致志的去静静的切割自家的盘中餐。中国人平日好静,一坐上餐桌,便滔滔不绝,相互让菜,劝酒。
所以,中国人餐桌上的闹与西方餐桌上的静反映出了中西饮食文化上的根本差异。中国人以食为人生之至乐,所以餐桌上人们尽情的享受这美味佳肴。餐桌上的热闹反映了食客发自内心的欢快。西方人以饮食为生存的必要条件,他们自然要遵守某些规范,以保证机器的正常运转。
通过中西餐桌礼仪的比较,不仅仅反映了各地的文化传统,还折射出不同民族心理、价值观与道德标准、社会关系、社会礼仪和社会风俗等方面,即西方文化主张个人荣誉、自我中心、创新 精神和个性自由,而中国文化主张谦虚谨慎、无私奉献、中庸之道和团结协作;西方人平等意识较强、家庭结 构简单,由父母以及未成年子女组成核心家庭;而中国人等级观念较强,家庭结构较复杂,传统的幸福家庭多 为四代同堂等。
在跨文化交际中,由于文化障碍而导致的信息误解,甚至伤害对方的现象屡见不鲜。有时善意的言谈会使对方尴尬无比,礼貌的举止会被误解为荒诞粗俗。因此,研究不同文化之间的差异,研究正确的跨文化交际行为已成为不可忽视的问题。
上述材料来自http://blog.163.com/sj_dingding/blog/static/***4130889/ 另外—— 用餐俗例
在饭食方式方面,中国人与西方人有点不同,西方人喜欢各自品尝放在自己面前的食物,中国人则有一定的用饭规例,他们喜欢叫数碟佳肴,放在饭桌的中央位置,各人有一碗饭共同配这数碟菜肴,饭吃完可再添;夹起的菜肴通常要先放在自己的饭碗中,直接把菜肴放入口是不礼貌的;依照惯例,客人出席正式或传统的晚餐,是不会吃光桌上的菜肴,以免令主人家误以为菜肴预备不足,因而感到尴尬。
餐桌摆设
日常饭食的摆设是在各座席摆上一个饭碗、一双筷子、一只汤匙、一碟调味酱,用饭后通常会给客人一条热毛巾,代替纸巾抹手及抹嘴巴。所有菜肴同时端上餐桌中央,各人用自己的筷子直接从各碟共享的菜肴夹取食物;汤水一大锅的端上,各人同饮一锅汤。客人用饭时绝对可以来一招「飞象过河」,夹取放在远处的菜肴。由於中国人喜欢全体共享菜肴,他们的餐桌大多数是圆形或方形,而不是西方人多用的长形餐桌。
差异:中国与西方在饮食文化方面有不同之处,中国人比较喜欢大伙儿到茶楼,因可品尝更多款的点心及菜肴,虽然茶楼都备有二人饭桌,但大多数是供四位或以上食客用的饭桌。茶楼通常很噪吵,气氛不像西式餐厅浪漫,若二人吃饭,可考虑不选择去茶楼。
China table manners

一、前言
由于中西方所处的自然环境和劳动方式的不同,使中西方在餐饮
礼仪方面有许多差别。我国的饮食文化源远流长,博大精深,据文献记 载:至少在周代,饮食礼仪已形成了一套相当完善的制度。这些礼仪日 臻成熟和完善,它们在古代社会发挥过重要的作用,对现代社会依然产 生着影响。西方餐桌礼仪起源于法国梅罗文加王朝,在20 世纪,意大 利文化流入法国,餐桌礼仪和菜单用语均变得更为优雅精致,教导礼仪 的著作亦纷纷面世。时至今日,餐桌礼仪还在欧洲国家继续传留下去。随着西方文化大量涌入中国,中国传统礼仪也不断受到西方礼仪文化 的冲击,保护中国传统礼仪,并与西方礼仪进行有效地融合,更有利于 我们和西方各国的跨文化交际。
二、中西餐桌礼仪差异
1、席位安排礼仪
(1)中餐餐桌礼仪。在中餐宴请活动中,往往采用圆桌。不单是在 不同位置摆放的圆桌有尊卑的区别,每张圆桌上的不同座次也有尊卑之 分。由两桌组成的小型宴请通常是两桌横排或两桌竖排的形式。当两桌 横排时,面对正门右边的桌子是主桌;当两桌竖排时,离正门最远的那张 桌子是主桌。由三桌或三桌以上的数桌所组成的宴请除了注意“门面定 位”,“以右为尊”,“以远为上”等规则外,还应兼顾其他各桌离主桌的远近。通常,距离主桌越近,桌次越高;距离主桌越远,桌次越低。每张餐桌上排列位次的基本方法有以下五点: ①主人大都应面对 正门而坐,并在主桌就坐。主宾和副主宾分别坐在主人的右侧和左侧。②举行多桌宴请时,每桌都要有一位主桌主人的代表在座。位置一般 和主桌主人同向,有时也可以面向主桌主人。③各桌次的尊卑,应以与 这桌主人的距离远近来定,离主人近的位置比较尊贵。④与本桌主人 的距离相同的位次,则以本桌主人面向为准,主人座位右边的位置比较 尊贵。⑤如果主宾身份高于主人,为表示尊重,可以安排在主人位子上
坐,主人则坐在主宾的位置上。对于少于5人的便餐,位次的排列可以 遵循四个原则:右高左低;中坐为尊;面门为上;灵活安排。
2、西餐餐桌礼仪
西餐中,一般均使用长桌。在正式宴会上桌次的高低尊卑以距离 主桌的位置远近而定,越靠右的桌次越尊贵,在同一桌上,越靠近主人 的位置越尊贵。在正式宴会上,英国式座位的顺序是:男女主人坐在桌 子的两头,客人男女错开坐在桌子两侧,男主宾和女主宾分别坐在女主 人和男主人的右边。如果客人中没有主宾,女主人可把客人中年龄最 大的女士安排在男主人右边。在非正式宴会上,遵循女士优先的原则。如果是男女二人进餐,男士应请女士坐在自己的右边,还要注意不可让 她坐在人来人往的过道边;若只有一个靠墙的位置,应请女士就坐,男 士坐在她的对面;如果是两对夫妻就餐,夫人们应坐在靠墙的位置上, 先生们则坐在各自夫人的对面;如果两位男士陪同一位女士进餐,女士 应坐在两位男士的中间;如果两位同性进餐,靠墙的位置应让给其中的 年长者。此外,男士应当主动为女士移动椅子让女生先坐。
二、餐具的使用礼仪
1、中餐餐具的摆放和使用方法
(1)筷子。筷子是中餐最重要的餐具。在使用当中,用餐前筷子一 定要整齐的放在饭碗的右侧,用餐后一定要整齐的竖向放在饭碗的正 中。不论筷子上是否残留着食物,都不要去舔;和人交谈时,要暂时放 下筷子;不要把筷子竖直插放在食物上面;不能用筷子剔牙、挠痒或用 来夹取食物以外的东西。

杯、红葡萄酒杯、白葡萄酒杯以及水杯是不可缺少的。
3、西餐上菜顺序的差异
中餐上菜顺序是:先上凉菜、饮料及酒,后上热菜,然后上主食,最
后上甜食和水果。宴会上桌数很多时,各桌的每一道菜应同时上。上 菜顺序依然保持传统,先冷后热。热菜应从主宾对面席位的左侧上;上 单份菜或配菜和小吃先宾后主,上全鸡、全鸭、全鱼等整形菜,不能头尾 朝向正主位。上菜的方式大体上有以下几种:一是把大盘菜端上,由各 人自取;二是由侍者托着菜盘逐一给每位分让;三是用小碟盛放,每人 一份。在正式宴席上,菜式的吃法很像放映的幻灯片,每一次一道菜。西餐上菜程序通常是:面包黄油→凉菜→汤→海鲜→主菜→甜点心→ 咖啡和水果。冷菜、汤,同时就着面包吃。凉菜也叫开胃小菜,作为第 一道菜,一般与开胃酒并用。汤分渍汤和奶油浓汤。主菜有鱼、猪肉、牛肉、鸡等。甜食常有冰淇淋、布丁等。
4、用餐过程中应注意的礼仪
(1)餐桌上取食的礼仪。中餐的取食原则:菜品需由主宾先取;取 菜时,不要取得太多;邻座的男士可以替女士服务。敬酒应以年龄大 小、职务高低、宾主身份为序,要先给尊者、长者敬酒。应注意的事项: 取菜时不要左顾右盼,在公用的菜盘里挑挑拣拣;多人一桌用餐,取菜 应注意相互礼让,依次而行,取用适量;够不着的菜,可以请人帮忙盛 取,切忌起身甚至离座去取;进餐时不要打嗝,吃面喝汤时也不要发出 “呼噜声”;假如打了喷嚏、肠鸣、咳嗽,应说一声“对不起”之类的话以 示歉意。西餐的取食原则:进餐时尽量不要发出餐刀刮盘子的声音;就 餐时尽量少说话,饭后吃甜点时才是聊天时间;喝汤时,用汤勺从里向 外舀,不要发出声;吃面包时,先用刀将其切成两半,然后用手撕成块 吃;吃意大利面时应用叉子慢慢将面条卷起来送入口中,如果不是条形 的面,直接用叉匙舀起来即可;吃水果时不要拿着水果整个去咬,应先 用水果刀切成几瓣,再用刀去掉皮、核,用叉子叉着吃。应注意的事项: 不要用自己的餐具为他人夹菜;不要将盘子里的食物全部切好后再用
右手拿叉子吃;骨头或者不吃的食物,不能扔在地上或放在台布上,而 应当放在盘子的一角。
(2)餐桌上交谈的礼仪。中餐讲究热闹,喜欢边吃边聊。交谈时注
意几点:讲话要有分寸、有礼节、有教养、有学识。避隐私、避浅薄、避粗 鄙、避忌讳,不宜深谈对方不感兴趣的话题,交谈中要神态专注,用词委 婉,礼让对方。西方餐桌上以静为主,进餐时与左右客人交谈,但应避 免高声谈笑。不要只同几个熟人交谈,左右客人如不认识,可选自我介 绍,别人讲话不可搭嘴插话。
5、餐桌上离席的礼仪
中餐在宴会结束时,只能由主人来示意宴会结束;在主人和主宾离 开座位后,其它宾客才能散席;主人应在门口为宾客送行;客人应向主 人致谢;如果中途道别只需和主人打个招呼或向左右宾客点头示意即 可。西餐在宴会结束时,首先将腿上的餐巾拿起,随意叠好,再把餐巾 放在餐桌的左侧,然后起身离座。用餐后,须等男、女主人离席后,其他 宾客方可离席。离席时,应帮助隔座长者或女士拖拉座椅,告别时应向 主人致谢,更为慎重时,还可再以电话或谢卡致谢。
三、结语
通过中西餐桌礼仪的比较,发现个人在用餐的仪态会对别人造成 某种程度的心理影响。我国正面临着前所未有的挑战,无论在物质还 是精神和文化方面,都急迫的需要一套完整合理的价值观进行统一,只 有了解了中西礼仪文化的差异,将二者合理有机的融合,方能建立适合 我国当代社会的礼仪文化体系和消除在跨文化交际中由于文化障碍而 产生的误解,对我国文明的发展和在国外生存有一定的帮助作用。【参考文献】

With communication has become more and more frequent, and the differences between Chinese and western culture have become more obvious, especially the differences of table manners.Arrangement of seat in China
In China, people used to use the number of the tables to define the size of banquet.In small banquets which have two tables, the table on the left or farther to the portal is the top table.At bigger banquets that have three or more tables, the rules are much more complicated.Generally, seats that closer to the top table take precedence.For example, on the wedding party, family members of the bride or the leaderships are arranged to the table that closest to the top table.Hosts show their reverences to the guests by arranging seats by this way.Seats at one table also have different meanings.In Chinese table manner, the seat opposite to the door is the honor seat, which is for chief guests or elders;the seats beside are the second honor seat which are for other guests;the seats that opposite to the honor seat are the inferior seat.Inferior seats are for the host and hostess.So before the banquet, hosts should first invite the chief guest or elders to the honor seat, and then invite other guests to the second honor seat.Hosts sit down on the inferior seats after all the guests sit down.Arrangement of seat in West
Western people prefer long table to round table when entertaining friends.The host and the hostess seat at both end of the table, while guests seat at other seats.The chief guest sits at the upper right side of the hostess, and the wife of the chief guest seats at the upper right side of the host.In China, left is honor and right is secondary.While in western, right is honor and left is secondary.The proper way to take the seat in western is to sit by the left hand.It is better not to walk out before the banquet is finished.Tablewares between China and West

第五篇:中西方饮食文化差异以及餐桌礼仪的对比
中西方饮食文化差异以及餐桌礼仪的对
比
进入2l世纪以来,跨文化交际已经成为人们 生活中不可或缺的内容。由于地区差异,不同的民 族、国家形成了不同的文化。饮食文化及餐桌礼仪 也是跨文化交际中非语言文化的重要组成部分。了 解中西方饮食文化及餐桌礼仪方面的差异及其渊 源,对于外语学习者来讲,不仅能增加对所学语言 文化的理解,更能提高跨文化交际的成功率,避免 因为不恰当的方式或行为造成误鳃和交际障碍。
一、中西方饮食文化的差异
1.理性的西方人更多关注的是营养与生存 中西饮食文化最大的差异是关注的重点不同,即“营养”和“美味”两者孰轻孰重的问题。在 西方国家,饮食大多仅仅作为一种生存的必要手段 和交际方式。西方饮食是一种理性观念,不论食物 的色、香、味、形如何,营养一定要得到保证,西 方烹调讲究营养而忽视味道。他们拒绝使用昧精,认为其是既不营养又有副作用的化学产品;生吃的 蔬菜,不仅包括西红柿、生菜,甚至是洋白菜、西 兰花。因而他们的“色拉”有如一盘饲料,使我 们难以下咽。虽然现在的中国人也讲究营养保健,也知道蔬菜爆炒加热后会丢失一部分维生素,生吃 则避免丢失,可还是宁愿选择前者,因为习惯使
然,更是因为味道确实好多了。2.感性的中国人追求的是美味和享受 在中国,民间有句俗话:“民以食为天,食以 味为先”,味道是烹调的最高准则。在中国人的眼 里,“吃”远不单纯是为了饱,也不是为了营养,有时吃饱了,还要吃,这是因为受不了“美味” 的诱惑而尽情进行味觉享受。但在西方的理性饮食 观看来,这种超负荷的饮食不仅造成浪费,而且危 害人体。尽管中国人讲究食疗、食养,重视以饮食 来养生滋补,但我们的烹调却以追求美味为第一要 求,致使许多营养成分损失破坏,因此营养问题也
许是中国饮食的最大弱点。3.西方烹调遵循的是规范与科学 西方人强调科学与营养,因此烹调的全过程都 严格按照科学规范行事。菜谱的使用就是一个极好 的证明。西方人总是拿着菜谱去买菜,制作菜肴,但相比起来,还是一个非常机械的东西,而这导致 了西餐的一个弊端——缺乏特色。当人们身处异地 想品尝当地美食时,肯定是不会有人选择肯德基或 麦当劳之类食品的。另外,规范化的烹调甚至要求 配料的准确,调料的添加精确到克,烹调时间精确 到秒。由于西方菜肴制作的规范化,使其毫无创造 性。令西方人不能理解的是,中国烹调不仅不追求 精确的规范化,反而推崇随意性。翻开中国的菜 谱,常常发现原料的准备量、调料的添加量都是模 糊的概念。而且中国烹调中,不仅讲究各大菜系要 有各自的风味与特色,即使是同一菜系的同一个 菜,所用的配菜与各种调料的匹配,也会依厨师的 个人爱好特点有变化。同样是一道“麻婆豆腐”。为四川客人烹制和为苏州客人烹制,所用的调料肯 定是不同的。而在西方,一道菜在不同的地区不同 的季节面对不同的食者,都毫无变化。4.崇尚自由的西方人重分别与个性 在中西饮食文化之中也明显体现出这种“和 合”与“分别”的文化特征。西菜中除少数汤菜,正菜中各种原料互不相干,鱼就是鱼,牛排就是牛 排,纵然有搭配,那也是在盘中进行的,这体现了
“西方重分别”的社会文化。这种重分别的社会文 化同样体现在用餐方式上。西方人奉行的是分餐 制,人对个性、对自我的尊重。西方流行的自助餐 形式更是各吃各的,缺少中国人聊欢共乐的情调。
5.向往和谐的中国人重和合与整体 中国人一向以“和”与“合”为最美妙的境 界,音乐上讲究“和乐”、“唱和”,医学上主张 “身和”、“气和”,希望国家政治实现“政通人 和”。称美好的婚姻为“天作之合”,而当一切美 好的事物凑集在一起时,我们将其称誉为“珠联 璧合”。而这种“和合”的思想体现在烹饪上就反 映为“五味调和”。所以中国菜几乎每个菜都要用 两种以上的原料和多种调料来调和烹制。中国人把 做菜称之为“烹调”,美味的产生。在于调和。因 此中国人烹调不是“I+1=2”那么简单,而是应
该等于“3”甚至更多。
总之,中西饮食在诸多方面存在着各式各样的 差异,当然,这些差异都具有相对性,几千年来的 东西方文化的交流也促成中西方的饮食文化的不断 融合。全球化态势下的跨文化交际使得多样的饮食 文化不断的互补与兼容。今天,享受东西方各具特 色的饮食已成为当代人日常生活中司空见惯的事 情。我们在大街上随处可见法式大餐、肯德基等西 方的舶来饮食,而中国菜馆也开遍了全世界。
二、餐桌礼仪方面的差异
饮食文化、餐具、进餐方式以及一系列的餐桌 礼仪等则反映了不同民族的社会生活样式和文化取 向。现代社会礼仪无处不在,用餐不单是满足基本 生理需要,也是很重要的社交经验。而中西方在餐 桌礼仪方面的要求也有许多差别,了解了两者的不
同防止失礼于人。1.餐桌气氛上的差异
总的来说是西方餐桌上静,中国餐桌上动。西 方人平日好动,但一坐到餐桌上便专心致志地去静 静切割自家的盘中餐。中国人平日好静,一坐上餐 桌,便滔滔不绝,相互让菜,劝酒。中国人餐桌上 的闹与西方餐桌上的静反映出了中西饮食文化上的
根本差异。2.餐桌举止
在中国文化传统中,人们在出席各种正式的会 餐时也是比较讲究的,但是在现代风俗变迁和发展 中,有进步的一面,也有落后的一面,有对传统的 继承,也有对传统文化习俗的违背。比如就餐时的 衣着,要远比过去随意多了,可着中山装、夹克或 西服等,这也正体现了传统文化的变迁和发展,这 正是中西方文化融汇,相互发生正迁移作用最好例证。
当今许多西方人,尤其是美国人不喜欢吸烟或 喝酒,许多人也不喜欢别人在他们的住处吸烟喝 酒。而在当今的中国,许多人既吸烟又喝酒,有一 种社会怪现象似乎是“不吸烟不喝酒”就无以社 交。所以在中国的餐桌上依旧存在吞云吐雾、烂醉 如泥的“陋习”,尽管他们知道这有伤风范,但依 旧不能禁绝之。想必这就是文化迁移和发展的不完 全性、不彻底性的表现,我们有必要在正确理解和 认识文化现象的基础上,不断推动人文文化的发
展,提高民族人文素质。
3.座位的排序
中西都讲究正式的宴请活动的坐次安排。中国 人传统上用八仙桌。对门为上,两边为偏座。请客 时,年长者、主宾或地位高的人坐上座,男女主人 或陪客者坐下座,其余客人按顺序坐偏座。西方人 请客用长桌,男女主人分坐两端,然后在按男女主 宾和一般客人的次序安排座位。对于餐桌的规矩,西方人进餐用刀叉,中国人用筷子。当然刀叉和筷
子的用法都有各自的规矩。
通过中西方饮食文化差异以及中西方餐桌礼仪 的比较,不仅仅反映了各地的文化传统,还折射出 不同民族心理、价值观与道德标准、社会关系、社 会礼仪和社会风俗等方面,即西方文化主张个人荣 誉、自我中心、创新精神和个性自由,而中国文化 主张谦虚谨慎、无私奉献、中庸之道和团结协作; 西方人平等意识较强、家庭结构简单;而中国人等 级观念较强,家庭结构较复杂,传统的幸福家庭多
为四代同堂等。
在跨文化交际中,由于文化障碍而导致的信息 误解,甚至伤害对方的现象屡见不鲜。有时善意的 言谈会使对方尴尬无比,礼貌的举止会被误解为荒 诞粗俗。因此,研究不同文化之间的差异,研究正 确的跨文化交际行为已成为不可忽视的问题。在对 比研究过程中,各自的优、缺点显而易见。这种研 究有利于文化的正迁移作用,以“取其精华,去 其糟粕”,从而促进本民族语言、人文文化的
发展。
