让你的餐具开口说话！

先不要急着翻白眼说这年头谁不会吃西餐，如果你只是去吃个西式简餐，那你可以不懂礼仪，可是正规用餐，不懂餐具的暗语，也许......

在欧洲，所有跟吃饭有关的事，都被备受重视，因为它同时提供了两种最受赞赏的美学享受——美食与交谈。除了口感精致外，用餐时酒、菜的搭配，优雅的用餐礼仪，调整和放松心态、享受这环境和美食、正确使用餐具、酒具都是进入美食的先修课。

There are two styles of dining. There is the American style of dining and the European style of dining. The United States is probably the only culture in the world where we switch our fork and knife after we’ve made a cut and we’re trying to eat the food that we’ve cut.

简单来说，餐具的使用分为美式和欧式两种。比较特别的是，只有美式是刀叉需要在手中交替使用。To demonstrate, in the United State we will hold our knife and fork in this fashion, pivot our wrists, make the cut, place our knife to the top of our plate, switch the fork to our right hand if we're right handed, and take the bite that we’ve just cut and we do this switching back and forth many many times throughout a meal.

具体来说，左手拿叉，右手拿刀，切完食物之后，将右手的刀放在餐盘上端，将左手的叉子交替到右手继续使用。



European dining means that you are using the same grip for the utensils. You've made the one cut, one cut at a time but you leave the knife in your right hand, you pivot your left hand, the food comes to your mouth, your wrists are resting on the edge of the table. You do not need to put your knife and fork down between bites. The only time you do put them down is when you are going to take a drink of a beverage, or you're going to have a bite of your bread.

欧式与美式不同，不需要交替使用刀叉，左手拿叉，右手拿刀，切完食物之后，用左手叉起食物放入口中，刀不需要放下，留在手里。



欧式

刀叉不离手哦，除非你需要喝东西，或者xxx :p


Let’s talk for a minute about something called the

"silent service code".

If you were dining American fashion or European fashion, there are messages that you can send to the wait staff that let them know where you are in the progress of your meal.

无论美式就餐还是欧式就餐，我们可以通过餐具的不同摆放给服务员传递信息。



If I'm dining American fashion when I need to take a break to take a beverage or to leave the table for some reason, I am going to place my knife and fork in such a way that there is a space between them, they're on the right side of my plate I'm sending a message to the wait staff that I'm not finished with this course please don't clear it away. If I am completely finished, I'm going to line my knife and my fork up on my plate in what's called the 10:20 position if you envision your plate as the face of the clock, the tines of the fork and the point of the knife are going to be pointing to 10 o’clock on the face of the clock; the handles are pointing to twenty past the hour on the clock. They're parallel, they're close together, they're sending this message to the wait staff I'm completely finished with this course, you may clear it.

美式：

刀叉顶端靠拢，而底部分开放置，整体偏右30°，表示还没吃完！

刀叉平行放置，顶端指向10:00方向，底部指向4:00方向，表示用餐完毕



Now let's talk briefly about the European style of dining. Again, the grip on the silverware is the same but the difference is I am not going to be putting my knife down and switching my fork back to my right hand between each and every bite, I'm going to be making that cut, I'm going to be pivoting my left hand to bring that bite to my mouth, I have my elbows very close to my body, I have my wrists resting on the edge of the table and I continue in this fashion until I need to take a sip of a beverage or I’ll leave the table for some reason. At that point, I'm dining European style, I am going to criss-cross my knife and my fork to send again this silent service code to the wait staff that I’m not finished with this course, please don’t clear it away. When I’m completely finished after having dined in the European fashion, again I will use this 10:20 position on the clock if you will and I will lay my knife and my fork parallel in that position with the tines of the fork down. This indicates that I've been dining in the continental fashion.

欧式：

刀叉以交叉方式放置，叉在上刀在下，表示还没吃完！

与美式相同，刀叉平行放置，10:20方向，表示用餐完毕！
