During the meal
宴會中

Linguistic etiquette during the meal is crucial. You should never serve anyone greens, or ask them to pass the cruet. Should you need to wipe your mouth, use your napkin not your serviette. If you need to check the result, ask for a looking glass rather than a mirror. Avoid coy euphemisms such as temple of health or WC; U speakers refer directly to the lavatory.
宴會中的言談禮節(jié)十分重要。你不能管蔬菜叫g(shù)reen，也不能管調(diào)料瓶叫cruet。擦嘴用的餐巾叫napkin，不能叫serviette。想照鏡子的話，要管鏡子叫l(wèi)ooking glass，不能說mirror。別扭扭捏捏的用temple of health或WC這樣的隱語，上流社會的人直接說去衛(wèi)生間(lavatory)。
