问题     中国的餐桌礼仪最重要的原则是“食不言”。吃饭不讲话被认为有益健康。但若是参加社交的宴会(banquet),不语就失礼了。社交宴会上的座次和上菜次序很复杂。每上一道菜要由尊者或长者先食,他一般坐于桌首位置。开饭后要尽量坐得靠前,以免掉落食物弄脏衣服,吃的时候尽量不要发出声响。此外,喝汤的时候不可过快,应尽量小声。

选项

答案 The most important role of Chinese table manners is to remain silent while eating. Not talking over meals is supposed to be good for the health. It is impolite if people do not talk to each other during a social banquet. The table arrangements and serving order for a social banquet are extremely complicated. Each dish should be tasted by the eldest person who is seated at the head of the table. The diners should sit close to the table so food won’t drop on their clothes. Try your best not to make noise when chewing. One should drink soup slowly and is not supposed to make a lot of noise.

解析 1.第一句中的“餐桌礼仪”一般译为table manners。
2.第三句中,“失礼”的意思是“不礼貌的”,所以我们可以意译为impolite。
3.第四句中的“上菜”在英文中一般可用serve或者serve the dishes来表示。
4.第六句汉语原文中没有主语,根据上下文,这里说的应该是吃饭的人,即“用餐者”diners,所以我们在翻译时应补上这一信息,并以此作为句子主语。
