在加拿大
1 陈豪在北京的ABC美国公司工作,他跟美国同事Amy一起喝下午茶。 (Office ambience) A:Chen Hao, you've been attending a lot of business dinners lately. Didn't your team go out again last night with the clients? C:没错。我老板Mr. Brown决定请客人到附近刚开张的那家法国餐馆去吃饭。 A:How did it go? C:饭菜的味道确实不错,但是有个客人很失态。 A:What do you mean? C:首先,她点的菜都是菜单上价钱最贵的。 A:What did the others do? C:其他人点的都是中等价位的,我也一样。 A:This client sounds as if she could use some business etiquette training. Unless Mr. Brown suggested that you all order certain pricey dishes, she should have chosen something moderately priced。 C:我觉得也是。除非主人坚持,否则客人应该点一些普通的菜才对。 A:It's rude to take advantage of your host like that. This client is not very savvy about business dining。 C: Savvy是什么意思啊? A:Savvy means having knowledge and experience。 C:这个客户确实不懂礼貌,而且还不只这些呢! A:Let's head back to the office now. You can tell me on the way。

C:从汤开始,然后是头台、沙拉,主菜,最后还有特制的甜点,一样不少。 A:What did everyone else do? C:Mr. Brown虽然吃得很少,但也只好跟着她一道菜一道菜地点。 A:He was doing the correct thing as host by ordering the same as the client。 C:作为主人,一定要这么做吗? A:When someone orders appetizers or other dishes in addition to the entrée, it is polite for others to order the same courses。 C:那又是为什么呢? A:That keeps the pace of the dinner even and avoids the awkwardness of one person eating a course by herself。 C:如果没有别人点汤的话,那个客户自己吃的时候一定会觉得很尴尬。 A:At an informal dinner, some people have soup while others may select a different appetizer to have at the same time. Everyone should have an equal number of courses。 C:那作为请客的主人,在饭桌上能做些什么呢? A:Simple. The host can say, "Why don't we all have an appetizer?" Or he could ask, "Would anyone like something to start with?" C:这样一来,你就能知道自己是不是唯一想点头台的人了。 A:Right. If no one else has a starter course, then you don't either。 C:你真应该给昨天那个客人好好上一课。
