Dining while abroad can feel as though you are tiptoeing around a minefield of unfamiliar rules. Table manners are the ultimate way to show respect (or some accidental disrespect) to your gracious host.

在国外吃饭，宛如蹑手蹑脚的游走在一堆不熟悉的规则中间。餐桌礼仪是对主人展现尊敬（有时反而显现不敬）的最好方式。

Now it's time to learn how to eat. Here are some of the very specific dining do's and don't's from around the world.

现在就来学学如何吃饭吧。下面是全球一些餐桌礼仪，该做什么不该做什么。

Slurp your food.

吃东西时砸吧嘴。

In Japan, most commonly when eating noodles and soups, slurping shows your appreciation of the food to the chef. The louder the better! You may also drink directly from the soup bowl -- spoons are uncommon. Furthermore, never cross your chopsticks, lick your chopsticks, or stick your chopsticks vertically into a bowl of rice. It's considered very rude in Japan and many other Asian countries, including China.

在日本，吃面喝汤极其寻常，发出啧啧声是对厨师食物的肯定。越大声越好！你还可以直接端起汤碗来喝汤——调羹反而用的不多。另外，千万别把筷子交叉，舔筷子或是把筷子垂直插在米饭中间。这在日本以及其他亚洲国家包括中国，都是极其粗鲁的表现，

Eat only with your right hand.
