陈豪昨天晚上陪一位总裁去出席晚宴，可是他还个问题不太清楚。为了请教美籍华人Mary，他约她今晚一起去美国餐馆吃晚饭。 (Restaurant ambience) M：嗨，陈豪，hows last nights dinner? Everything OK? C：你告诉过我怎么喝汤，各种刀叉的用法。可是，It may sound silly，昨晚我发现我不太清楚该怎么吃面包。美国人好像跟我们的吃法不一样。 M：别着急。你看服务员给我们送面包来了。The first thing is that your bread goes on your bread and butter plate. C：面包放在面包和黄油的盘上。Which one is my bread and butter plate? M：Its the one on your left above the forks。 C：噢，就是这个。 M：Just remember: Bread and butter on the left; water or coffee on the right and meat goes in the middle. 你就记住德国的名牌汽车BMW就行了。 C：What has BMW to do with eating bread? M：B代表bread, 在左边， M代表meat, 在中间，W代表water，在右边。 C：BMW! ****** C：Mary，你还没有告诉我究竟该怎么吃面包呐。我们中国人都是一口一口咬的，可是美国人好像是用手掰的。 M：Yes, I noticed that too. 我给你示范一下。Tear off a small piece, butter it if you like and eat it. Then tear off another piece and continue until you are satisfied or have eaten the whole thing。 |
