西方文化礼仪之“餐桌礼仪”
西方进餐的习惯与我们多有不同，特别是正式的西餐宴会，规矩颇多。参加西餐宴会时应注意下列事项：
1、 外国人一般没有让酒让菜的习惯，所以你喜欢吃什么，不妨多取点。
2、 应等全体客人面前都上了菜，女主人拿起她的刀子和叉子示意后才可以用餐。
3、 餐巾应铺在膝上。也可以防在颈上或胸前，但不大方。可用餐巾一角擦去嘴上或 手指上的油渍，但绝不可揩拭餐具。
4、 进餐时身体要坐正，不要两臂横放在桌上。
5、 使用刀叉时，应左手用叉，用手用刀。切肉应避免刀切在瓷盘上发出响声。中途 放下刀叉，应呈“八”字型分放在盘子上。如刀叉放在一起，表示用餐完毕。
6、 要喝水时，应先将食物咽下。用玻璃杯喝水时，要先擦去嘴上的油渍，以免弄脏杯子。
7、 如打喷嚏或咳嗽，或想去洗手间，应向周围的人道对不起。
8、 进餐时，始终保持沉默是不礼貌的，但咀爵食物时不要讲话，咽下去再答。
9、 当侍者依此给客人上菜时，走到你的左边，才轮到你取菜。
用餐完毕，女主人站起，才可离席。餐巾放在桌上，不要照原样折好。
