　　英語介紹中國餐桌禮儀

　　I believe the Chinese food is famous around the world.中國飲食在世界上是很有名的。

　　And if you are in China and you are asked by your Chinese friend to a dinner, you may want to know how to pick up your seat at the table and what is the proper way to sit at the table.假如你來到中國，中國朋友請你吃飯，你就需要了解一下有關宴會中的座次問題。

　　Well, normally this seat is the seat for the host or the hostess.這個位子一般是主位，是主人的。

　　The seat is facing the door of this room.這個位子面朝著門。***面朝著門的一般是主位。***

　　One may also distinguish the seats at the table from the style in which the napkins are folded.也可以根據餐巾的樣式來辨別座位。

　　Regardless of how the napkins are arranged.，the tallest arrangement will always correspond to the master seat.無論餐巾折成什麼樣式，最高的餐巾對應的座位，一定是主位。

　　At the small table, a table for four of five, the seat right across of the host seat, the seat over there, the back of which is facing the door is the seat for the main guest.一張坐四五個人的小桌子，與主人的座位相對應的背對著門的那個位置則是被邀請的主客坐的位置。

　　But usually of course, when it’s a bigger table, a table for ten or twelve, and it is not easy for host or hostess talking with the main guest, right across the table like right across the ocean and they can just sit side by side which can make it easier for them to talk.

　　當然如果桌子大一點的時候，比如說可以坐十到十二個人的桌子，由於主人和客人說話不太方便，跨越桌子就像跨越一片大海一樣，所以他們可以挨著坐，這種情況下是可以挨著坐的，這樣坐主人和客人說話更方便一些。
