问题     During the meal, you’d better be careful not to leave a spoon in a soup bowl or coffee cup or any other dish. The coffee spoon ought to be on the saucer, the soup spoon ought to be on the plate under the bowl. When you are having soup, make the least noises and use the side of your spoon inside out this way, not the tip. And you mustn’t pick up your soup bowls so as to drink away the last drops of your soup from the bottom of the bowl.
    Very often there is only one main course and salad, followed by your sweet. If you find the meal not enough, say "Oh, it’s delicious!" and ask for some more of the chicken or steak or whatever you have just had. The hostess will be very glad that you appreciate her cooking and will give you an extra portion. But if you observe the Chinese way of being polite and say "No, thank you" when the hostess offers you more, you will most probably starve later. Because Americans will never press food on you. Yet it is not polite to keep silent and not to talk with the person next to you. It would be considered good manners if you handle your silverware(餐具) with care so that they don’t make any noise. When coffee comes, drink it from your cup. The coffee spoon should rest on the saucer while you are drinking. And smoking, of course, is rarely seen at a dinner table. Well, when the meal is finished, the guests put their napkins(餐巾) on the table and stand up, the men again helping the ladies with their chairs.
    After the dinner, the guests usually stay for an hour or two, then they would say, "Well, I’m afraid I must be going now. The host and hostess would of course urge everyone to stay longer. "What, already? Won’t you have another coffee?" The guests, for instance, would say, "I’d love to, but I have to be up early tomorrow. Thank you for a most enjoyable evening. Good-night.
    And if you stay overnight or over the weekend, it will be courteous to send a thank-you note to the host or hostess the following day, very often with a small gift’ such as a box of chocolate or some flowers as a token of appreciation of the passage?.
