Table Manners in America
Don’t circle your plate with your arms. If you do so, you will
become the focus(焦点) of the table. Everyone would wonder,"Is
there anything wrong with the food?" This may give a wrong message
that you don"t like the food or something like that.
Don"t push the plate back when finished. Leave it where it was.
Do you want to let the hostess(女主人) know that you"ve just
done a labour?
Don"t lean(倚靠) back and say"I"m through"or"I"m full". Just
put the fork and knife across the plate. That"s all.
Don"t cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one
or two bites(块) at a time.
Never take a huge mouthful of anything. Do you want to show
how hungry you are? Don"t do that. It"s not so good.
It"s never good to reach across the table for anything. If the
thing you want is not at hand, simply ask the nearest person for
help, like “Mrs Smith, could you pass me the dish?”

it started when two students at Cambridge University began knocking a cork (软木塞) to each other
across a table, using old boxes. In about the year 1800 an American businessman of sports goods
produced a game that he called Indoor Tennis. The Americans didn"t find interest in it. He shipped
(用船运) it to London and it soon became popular in Britain. The game was then played across dining
room tables, or on the floor with the net string (网) between chairs. The players used a ball made of
cork or rubber. A few years later a hollow (空的) ball like the one we use today was invented.
People all over the world loved it at once. A man called Mr Wood in London, had the idea of covering
the bats (拍子) with rubber. Later a London businessman called this game "ping-pong". "Ping" meant
the sound of the bat hitting the ball, and "pong" was the sound of the ball hitting the table.
The game is played everywhere, but not everybody likes it. Some even think it"s a silly game.
