Many cultures still prefer to eat using traditional methods--their hands. In these cases, food is often offered communally, which is why its important to wash your hands before eating and observe the right-hand-is-for-eating and the left-hand-is-for-other-duties rule. If you eat with your left hand, expect your fellow diners to be mortified. And when partaking from a communal bowl, stick to a portion thats closest to you. Do not get greedy and plunge your hand into the center。
许多文化依然推崇传统的进食方式用手吃。在这种情况下,食物往往是众人一起分享的,因此饭前洗手很重要,而且要遵守用右手吃东西的习俗。如果你用左手吃,同伴会感觉蒙受羞辱。当大家一起从公共的碗里取食时,就吃离你最近的那部分吧,不要贪婪地把手伸向饭碗中央。
What You Should Do Instead 对策:
Left-handed? Attempt to be ambidextrous--even children who are left-handed in these cultures are taught to eat with their right hand--or at least explain yourself to your fellow diners before plunging in。
你是左撇子吗?还是努力让自己的双手都灵巧吧在这些文化里,即使是左撇子的孩子也被教会用右手吃饭或者至少吃饭前向同伴解释一下。
Once you are on the ground of a different country, remain highly sensitive to native behavior. Never be completely surprised by anything; try to take it in stride, and dont feel offended if something seems offensive--like queue jumping. After all, this is a global village, and we are all very different。
