　　Eating in American(I)

　　中國菜著重色、香、味，西餐講究實惠。初到美國餐館用餐，應該注意如下事項：

　　1)選擇合適的餐館(如：家庭式餐館、特色餐館以及自助式餐館等);2)餐館營業(yè)時間(上午11：30開門營業(yè)，直到夜晚);3)一般都應事先預訂餐位：4)到達餐館后，不能徑直地到餐桌旁入桌，除非餐廳有“隨意就坐”的告示;5)付款時，別忘了留給服務員一定比例的小費(一般為實際總額的10%～15%)。 Eating out is one of the joy of being in the USA.The food is usually good and often excellent;the prices are reasonable ;and the service is mostly fine.

　　Choosing a Restaurant 選擇餐館 Some restaurants are open for

　　breakfast;others are open twenty-four hours a day.A number of restaurants call themselves "family restaurants".Many of these serve no alcohol and have fairly restricted menus which include

　　steaks,hamburgers,omelettes(炒蛋)and sandwiches,and all are at very reasonable prices.They may also serve(本文來自： 千 葉帆文 摘:西餐禮儀常識英語) smaller and cheaper children's portios(份餐).Note that many American restaurants are

　　"speciatly"restaurants .They may serve only,or

　　mainly ,steaks ,seafood,etc.

　　When to Eat 供餐時間 Many restaurants,especially the more expensive ones,open at about 11：30a.m.(midday,rather than 1p.m.,is the most normal time for lunch in the USA),and some remain open until the evening,so it is possible to order a meal throughout the afternoon.

　　In many areas it is usual for people to leave work and go out for an evening meal at 5p.m.or 6p.m.,than waiting until later.

　　Reserving a Table 預訂餐位 Eating out is rather popular in the USA.And it is often necessary to make a reservation.You will sometimes see short queues of people waiting for tables at restaurants-it's more pleasant to wait in the bar ,of course,if there is one-but there queues more quickly. Arriving at Restaurant 到達餐館 When you arrive at most restaurant,you should not just go in and sit down-unless you see a sign saying "Please seat yourself".Usually you will have to wait for a "hostess"or

　　"captain"(領(lǐng)班)to escort(陪同)you to a table .Often there will be a sign that reads "Please wait to be seated".

　　Do not expect to share a table with other parties,even if the restaurant is crowed .It just isn't done.

　　Many restaurant have a no-smoking section,in some place by lows.

　　One excellent American custom is that after you have sat down your waiter or waitress will often bring you a glass or water(with ice naturally)and will keep on refilling it throughout the meal.(Most American are incapable of eating a meal without drinking something at the same time.)When your waiter or waitress takes your order,it is not very normal for one person to order for the whole table.Each person orders separately ,except in the most expensive restaurants.

　　Summoning a waiter 召喚侍者 You may find your waiter unusually friendly.He may ask you how you are (You're supposed just to say

　　"Fine"),inquire whether you have a good day and ,later on say that he hopes you will enjoy your meal.

　　To summon a waiter in a American restaurant you may call "Bill",or "Mary",or "Claude",or whatever.Waiters and waitresses often actually introduce themselves when they first come to your table or wear name tags,you are permitted to use their first names.

　　Paying the Bill 付款 The bill (often called the "check")comes usually with tax added but no service chare-though some restaurant do now add a service charge.The etiquette(規(guī)矩)books say that you should leave a ten per cent tip(小費)for lunch,fifteen per cent for dinner.The tip should be calculated on the basis of the total before the addition of tax. At many restaurant you can ask the waiter to bring the bill and than pay at a cash desk on the way out.

　　Eating in American(II)

　　美國人吃飯用刀叉，而且他們的用餐方式是很有講究的。因此，在應邀與美國朋友一起吃飯時，應特別注意他們的用餐習慣。一般情況下，餐桌上擺放有一幅餐刀和兩幅餐叉，外邊的餐叉供你吃色拉，里邊的餐叉用于吃主食和其它點心食品，餐刀用來切肉食。如果你兩手并用，應左手握叉，右手握刀，而且一次握刀時間不能太長。美國人的早餐有：炒或煮雞蛋、香腸、油炸土豆片、薄煎餅、果子凍、烤面包、松餅、桔子汁以及咖啡等。

　　Eating Custom and Practice 用餐習慣 American eating is funny.They eat almost everything with a fork,and it appears that holding a knife in one's right hand longer than a few seconds is considered to be against good table manners.

　　The system is that if it is absolutely necessary to use a knife,people take the fork in their left hand,and cut off a piece of meat or whatever it is in the normal manner.Then they put the knife down,transfer the fork to their right hand,and only then do they transport the food to their mouth.This is clearly ludicrous(滑稽可笑),but it is considered good manners.There are several results of this system.First,if it is not absolutely necessary to use a knife,Americans don't use one,because obviously this greatly complicates(使復雜化)things,and you will therefore see them trying to cut things like potatoes,fish and even bacon(熏豬肉)with a fork.Second,towards the end of a course,since only one implement(器具)is being used,food has to bo chased around the plate with the fork —and for the last mouthful the thumb has to be used to keep the food in place,although one is not supposed to do this.Third,tables are generally laid with one knife and two forks,the outside fork being for the salad.There is no need for foreign visitors to follow the American system and try to eat the salad with only a fork,but if you do use your knife,remerber to save it for the meat course.Even desserts(甜食)(except

　　ice cream)are eaten with a fork if at all possible,and the spoon you see by your dessert is meant to be for coffee (but if you use it for your dessert no one will say anything).

　　Some Breakfast Dishes 早餐食譜 Breakfast in a restaurant is a very enjoyable experience.If you order eggs in a restaurant,the

　　waiter/waitress will ask you how you want them .You can reply that you want them "scrambled(炒)"or "boiled".It is not sufficient,however,to ask for them "fried"you will have to specify whether you would prefer them "sunny-side-up"(煎一面),"over"(兩面煎),"over-easy/easy-over"(兩面煎，但蛋黃仍然呈流體狀).American sausage(香腸)comes in slices and is quite spicy.But you can also have link sausage.American bacon comes in small strips,can be rather fat,and is served crispy.It is usually very tasty,and you can eat it with your fingers."Hash brows"(油炸土豆片)are shredded(切成碎片的)and fried potatoes.They are wonderful,especially with fried eggs and ketchup(蕃茄醬)."Pancakes"(薄煎餅)

　　,sometimes called "hot cakes",are made with baking power.They are normally served in a pile,and you are supposed to put butter and syrup(果漿)on them."Jelly"(果子凍)is jam and includes grape jelly,which is very tasty.Toast is often served already buttered."English muffins(松餅)"are like small crumpets(烤餅)without the holes and are served toasted.You put jam on them.A "biscuit"(軟餅)is a snall,scone-like bread roll,often served hot.Orange juice and coffer are often serced with breakfast. Eating in American(III)

　　美國人吃午餐和吃晚餐之前通常要喝點雞尾酒，但在加利福尼亞州，人們大都喝葡萄酒。吃主食之前，一般都要吃一盤色拉。炸磨茹和炸洋蔥圈可作為開胃食品，牛排、豬排和雞(腿)為主食，龍蝦、貝殼類動物以及各種魚類甚至包括淡水魚被統(tǒng)稱為海鮮。炸土豆條是深受人們喜愛而且?guī)缀醭闪吮夭豢缮俚氖澄铩Ａ硗鈶�特別注意的一點，如有吃剩的食物，一定要打包帶回家，以免浪費。

　　Cocktail 雞尾酒It is quite usual to drink cocktails before lunch and dinner in America and somewhat less usual,except in California,to drink wine with a meal.You can either have a cocktail in the bar,if there is one,while you wait for a table or for friends,or you can have one served before your dinner comes.At some restaurants the waiter/waitress will come to your table as soon as you sit down to ask if you want a cocktail,and you can then drink this while deciding what to order to eat.At others,there may be a separate cocktail waiter or waitress.In this case,you do not normally order wine from him or her but from the normal waiter-or the wine waiter is there is one.Do not hesitate to order Californian wines.They can be excellent and in many parts of the country are cheap.

　　Salad 色拉 It is usual to have a salad with your meal,and a separate plate is provided for this purpose.The normal practice in America is to eat the salad before the main course.A wonderful American invention is the salad

　　bar.In restaurants that have these salad bars the waiter does not bring your salad.You go to the salad bar and help yourself,usually to as much as you want.This is normally done after you have ordered your meal;you eat the salad while the main course is being cooked.
