懂礼貌并不是针对某个人的，而是针对在这个社会上，我们为人处世的风格与方法，这才是彰显我们素养的地方。

　　1,When helping a woman pull her chair to the table,hold it and guide it.Don't shove it against the back of her legs.

　　为女士拉椅子的时候，要把椅子抓住了，留个角度，让女士好走过去。别让椅子腿碰到女士的腿。

　　2,If you're seated at a table with eight or fewer guests,wait for everyone to be served and for the hostess to begin eating before you dig in.At a long banquet table,it's OK to start when several people are seated and served.

　　如果就餐人数少于等于八人，那就等所有人都坐好了，女主人开始用餐了，再开动。如果是长餐桌，那么只要有几个人入座进食了，你也就可以开始吃了。

　　不要把餐巾展开，看起来像是在展示奥林匹克会旗一样。

　　5,If you prefer not to have wine while dining out,don't turn your glass upside down,and don't make a big deal of saying you don't drink.Simply place your fingertips on the rim of the glass and say"Not today,thanks."

　　如果在用餐时你不想饮酒，不要把酒杯倒过来放，也不要很在意地宣布你不喝酒。只要轻轻地把指尖放在酒杯边缘，说一句"今天不喝，谢谢。"

　　6,If you're eating and want to take a sip,dab your mouth with your napkin to avoid staining the rim of the glass.

　　如果你在吃东西的时候，想要啜一口饮料的话，那就先拿餐巾把嘴擦干净了，以免在杯子边缘留下残迹。

　　7,Grabbing a bowl of salad or a saltshaker as it's being passed to someone who asked for it is the equivalent of cutting in line:greedy and rude.

　　把原本要递给别人的沙拉碗或者盐瓶从半道截下来，这基本上就等于在说：你是个既贪婪又粗鲁的人。

　　8,On the subject of passing:Dishes go counterclockwise,but if someone to your left asks for something,you can hand it directly to him.

　　餐桌上要传递东西的话，规则一般是逆时针传递。不过，如果坐在你左手边的人想要什么东西时，你也可以直接递给他。

　　9,When you excuse yourself to go to the restroom,just say"Please excuse me."

　　想去洗手间的时候，只要说"失陪一下"就可以了。

　　10,When out with friends or family-even at a fancy restaurant-it's OK to ask for your leftovers to be wrapped.But don't do it at a business lunch or dinner.

　　和朋友家人一起外出用餐，即使是到很高级的餐馆，也可以要求把吃剩下的食物打包带走。不过，如果是在商务宴会上，就不要这么做了。
