关键词：餐桌礼仪座次安排餐具使用就餐氛围

随着改革开放的深入，中国与俄罗斯的交流越来越多，餐桌礼仪在人们的生活秩序中占有非常重要的地位，比较两个国家的餐桌礼仪，对于提高我们自身的素质和增进两国进一步的交流有着深刻的意义。同时，餐桌礼仪是也一个国家风俗文化的体现，不同国家不同民族由于地域差异的原因，其餐桌礼仪和风俗习惯也千差万别。了解和尊重不同民族的文化，掌握不同文化背景下人们的餐桌礼仪，对我们进行跨文化交际有很大帮助。本文在座次安排、餐具使用、就餐氛围三方面分析了两个国家在餐桌礼仪上的差别，希望能给大家参考。

一、两国在座次安排上的差异。

宴请活动的座次安排是饮食礼仪文化中最重要的一部分，是利用空间位置表示个人地位和人际关系的一种重要形式。人们对空间的观念是经过后天种种因素的影响而习得的，其中文化因素尤为突出。文化不同，人们对空间的需求、与空间有关的交际规则以及有关空间的价值观念也就有所不同。俄汉民族对宴请活动的座次安排具有明显的差异，我们不可忽视。中国人一贯重视“座次”。《礼记 》中讲 “天地位焉，意即天地万物各有其位，马虎不得。在中国，宴会中座位通常是以面向南为上，以面向北为下，形成了“南尊”、“北卑”的传统观念。这与中国传统文化是密不可分的。我国的传统做法除以南北为尊卑外，在民间吃饭，首座可以是主人就坐，但当有前辈、领导、师长、长者等或年龄比主人高或认为是高贵或重要的客人时，首座必须请最长者、最高贵者、最重要的客人就坐，主人可以在首座的左手或右手就座，陪伴在最重要的客人左右。然后是左为上，右次之，再后的排列顺序是左右左右，以次类推，逐个排列下去，最后一个背对门的座位，也可以是主人坐或者买单的人坐，因为这样买单时出出进进不会影响其他的客人。而在俄罗斯和其他西方国家，排座次的做法跟中国传统排法正好相反。最尊贵的客人的座位是右为尊，左为次。这是因为在古代西方社会，人们习惯用右手握匕首，刺杀坐在左边的人。如果将最尊贵的客人安排在主人的左手位置上，不仅他刺杀不方便，主人还有制服他的优势地位。随着社会的进步，在宴会上刺杀这一古老现象近乎绝迹。今天，西方人在安排座位是已不再着眼于安全保护，而是出于心理保护的需求，将主宾席放在主人的右侧，形成了餐桌座位以右为上、左为下的规矩。

在西方和俄罗斯，“女士优先”是他们的传统文化观念，是社交活动中的重要礼仪规范。这是因为他们信奉基督教，玛利亚是他们尊崇的圣母。在西方和俄罗斯的宴会中，女性一直占据了重要的位置。按照国际惯例，桌次高低以离主桌位置远近而定，右高左低，同一桌上，席位高低以离主人的座位远近而定。同时男女宾客必须交叉而坐，即使是夫妻也是如此，并以女主人的座位为准，主宾坐在女主人的右上方，主宾夫人坐在男主人的右上方。不但如此，男士还要替自己右边的女宾客拉开椅子，以示对女士的尊重，这充分体现了男女平等的思想。主座是指距离门口最远的正中央位置。主座的对面坐的是邀请人的助理。主宾和副宾分别坐在邀请人的右侧和左侧，位居第三、第四位的客人分别坐在助理的右侧和左侧。让邀请人和客人面对面而坐，或让客人坐在主座上都算失礼。如果是长条桌时，主人常常坐在上方横位，客人分坐两旁，女主人则多坐下方横位，以便照顾客人和招呼上菜。有一点不同的是，在俄罗斯的一般生活中对席间座位的安排无严格规定，不太分上座和下座。主座一般是邀请人。需要注意的是，就餐者入座后，姿势要端正、自然，后背微靠椅背，不要坐在椅子边沿，因为按照俄国人的说法，只有不速之客才会这么坐。也不要坐在桌角，按照俄国人的风俗迷信，坐在桌角的人要倒霉，如果是姑娘的话，那她就会嫁不出去而在中国，尤其是在古代，正式的宴席上根本看不到女性的身影，从而也就无需考虑女性位置的安排，这与中国传统文化的“男尊女卑”的思想是一致的。

二、两国在餐具使用上的差异。

俄汉民族在使用餐具时与我们中餐及西餐礼仪均有不同的规范。俄罗斯人进餐时，采取分餐制，使用刀叉和匙，其基本用法是右手持刀或汤匙，左手拿叉。汤匙的持法与握笔的方法基本相同，即：匙柄置于大拇指、食指之间，用中指在柄下托住。需要注意的是，手指务必持在匙柄上端，而不是匙柄下部。刀叉的拿法是轻握后半部，食指按在柄上。使用刀叉进餐时，左手拿叉按住食物，右手执刀将其切成小块，用叉子送入口中。一般是切一块，吃一块，不要一下子全部切完，每块大小应掌握在一口量为宜。只有在无需用刀切割食物时，即无需刀叉并用时，才可以改用右手拿叉。刀除了用于切割食物，还可用来帮助将食物米饭等拨到叉上，但千万不可用刀挑起食物往嘴里送。在正式的宴会上，每吃一道菜要换一副刀叉，对摆在面前的多副刀叉，应由最外面的那副依次向内取用。每道菜吃完后，应将刀叉平行摆放在盘内，这样侍者就知道可以撤盘了。如果没有吃完而需要放下刀叉，那一定要把刀叉呈八字摆放在餐盘两边，表示用餐尚未结束。而中国人吃饭的工具是筷子，不像俄罗斯人吃饭那样麻烦，餐桌上的摆放也没有刀叉那么复杂。可以说“筷子”是老祖宗为我们传下的一件法宝，简单、方便又实用，除了喝汤，细细的两根竹筷，拿在手上，运用自如，能戳、能挟、能撮、能扒，神乎其技。尽管现今的餐具已经发展到琳琅满目，唯独筷子一双，无法取代。使用筷子也是有讲究的，中餐进餐时不可玩弄筷子，也不可用筷子向人指指点点或打手势示意，也绝对不可吸吮筷子或把筷子插在米饭中，这是大忌 这好像葬礼上的香烛，被认为是不吉利的。同样在使用刀叉时也有一些禁忌。如：手里拿着刀叉时切勿指手画脚；发言或交谈时，应将刀叉放在盘上才合乎礼仪；忌用自己的餐具为别人夹菜；餐具掉落不要弯腰拾捡等等。

三、两国在就餐氛围的差异。

俄汉民族饮食文化的另一大差异，就是餐桌气氛上的差异。总的来说就是中国人餐桌上的“闹”，俄罗斯餐桌上的“静”。中国餐饮一般采取圆桌共餐的形式，这是中国餐饮文化的重要表现形式，这种就餐方式往往能够制造和谐融洽的气氛。因此，不论是迎新年、过生日、办喜事，还是请朋友吃饭，只要是宴席，目的都只会有一种形式就是聚餐。中国人讲求家庭观念，注重一家人围坐在一起，在一种其乐融融的祥和气氛中一起分享各种食物。人们既是在享受着满桌的佳肴盛馔，更是在享受着那份欢乐与喜庆的气氛。中国人尽管平日好静，但一坐上餐桌，便滔滔不绝，相互让菜劝酒，尽情地享受山珍海味，美味佳肴，一片热闹喧哗。这样的宴客方式才能体现主人的热情和诚恳，餐桌上的热闹反映了食客发自内心的欢快。这种“闹”能从某种程度上折射中国人家庭温馨、邻里和睦、国人团结的“一团和气”。这大概源于 “饮食所以合欢也 ”的集体主义思想，强调突出的是一个“合”字。当然这种边吃边大声地交谈，旁若无人，哪怕所谈论的东西让几米远外的人听去也满不在乎，更不注意大声说话和喧闹会给餐厅其他客人造成干扰，也是外国人不能理解和接受的。

俄罗斯人用餐习惯是在长条桌上进行，实行分餐制即各自点菜，各持一份。最普遍的盘式服务是将餐食在厨房分装到每一只餐盘中，由服务员从厨房端出，再迅速、礼貌地送给每位客人。用餐时，双手放在桌面以上，胳臂肘不能搭在桌面上，更不能翘二郎腿。俄罗斯人平日好动，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。同时也会不失时机地与左右客人交谈。如左右客人不认识，可先自我介绍。用餐时他们从不高声笑谈，一般是交头接耳，像说悄悄话似的，更不会在咀嚼食物时说话，音量保持在对方能听见的程度上交谈。俄罗斯流行的自助餐形式更是各吃各的，互不相扰。尽管俄罗斯人特别喜欢喝酒，无论男人还是女人，都有很好的酒量，但他们敬酒从不劝酒。他

们举杯喝酒时，也要说祝酒词，但一般是利用上菜间隙致祝酒辞，祝酒时力求做到态度热情、话语简短、幽默诙谐。所以在俄罗斯无论餐厅大小，就餐时没有任何的喧闹，大家都是低声细语，这种方式便于个人之间的情感交流，不必将所有的话摆在桌面上，同时表现出他们受个体主义思想的影响，体现了俄罗斯人的独立意识，诸如自我形象、自我意识和自我选择等。这和中国相比，缺少中国人聊欢共乐的情调。从表面形式上看这种就餐方式似乎少了些热闹，多了些客气和独立，但实质上最重要的是体现了卫生。分餐制还可以体现适度节俭、合理饮食的理念，克服中餐讲究排场、铺张浪费的缺点。分餐制的菜肴和主食由人定量，可以减少浪费。不管是餐前小吃还是正餐主食，所配原料都是与就餐者的食量挂钩的，菜肴道数尽可能少，但保证每餐吃完。分餐制使每位宾客对个人的用餐数量有了明确的量化概念，在减少浪费的同时又益于身体健康。我们现在的自助餐、冷餐也都体现了这个宗旨。

四、结论

总之，餐桌礼仪在人的生活秩序中占有非常重要的地位。不同的地域，不同的国家，孕育着不同的餐桌文化，其餐桌礼仪和风俗习惯也千差万别。“入境而问禁，入国而问俗，入门而问讳”是当今国际交往的一条原则。在跨文化交际中，我们不仅要遵循国际礼仪，同时也要了解与尊重有关国家的礼俗，做到因人施礼，这样才能更好地学习和交流。参考文献：
