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(使复杂化)things,and you will therefore see them trying to cut things like potatoes,fish and even bacon(熏猪肉)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).
要全部的!帮帮忙把、、
美国的饮食很有趣.他们几乎吃什么都用叉子.而且,一个人用右手拿餐刀超过几秒钟就被视为餐饮举止不良.
他们的体系是,如果一个人必须要用餐刀,他要用左手拿叉子,然后割下一片肉或者其他的东西,这才是正规的举止.然后他们放下餐刀,把叉子换到右手,只有这样才可以吧食物放到嘴里.这很明显很滑稽,但却被视为举止优雅.
这种体系会造成几种结果.第一,如果不是必须的,美国人不会用餐刀,因为很明显这会使事情变复杂.因此,你会看见美国人试图用叉子切土豆,鱼甚至熏猪肉什么的.第二,一道菜快吃完的时候,通常要用叉子在盘子里捉剩下的菜,因为他们只使用一个餐具.而且剩下最后一口时,不得不用手来固定食物,虽然这很不应该.
第三,桌子上通常放着一刀两叉,外面的叉子用来吃沙拉.外国游客没有必要遵从只用一个叉子吃沙拉的传统,但是如果你要用餐刀的话,记住等到肉餐时才用.甚至甜食(除了冰激凌)也要尽可能用叉子,而在甜点旁边的匙子是用来喝咖啡的(当然,如果你用它来吃甜点,没人会说你).
