What things are acceptable(可接受的) when you are at the dinner table and what things are serious breaches(违犯) of manners?

I will tell you some of the most important American rules of table manners. When you sit down to eat, you should place the napkin across your lap. You should never talk with your mouth full and should chew with your mouth closed. If someone asks you a question while you are chewing, you should finish chewing and then swallow(吞咽) the food before answering. You should never drop scraps on the table; instead place them on a spare plate. Salt and pepper(胡椒粉) will be at the table, but you should taste your food before adding any. Only put food on someone else’s plate if they ask for it and if they say they do not want anything else to eat or drink then you will not give them anything else. Do not use your knife or fork to point at others because it is considered rude.

In China I know it is rude to point with your chopsticks. It is common practice to place food into a friends bowl and to put drink in their glass even after they have said they do not want any more. It is fine to drop the scraps onto the table. Though salt and pepper are not always on the table, vinegar(醋) and soy sauce(酱油) usually are. Talking while you’re eating is not considered impolite.

Manners are different all over the world and can even change in different parts of a country. Have you ever seen a foreigner do something you thought was impolite? Is there something you have done that they might view as impolite?

Learning how to behave at the dinner table is my biggest challenge. As you can imagine, things are very different from the way they are at home. For example, you are not supposed to put your bread on your plate. You are supposed to put it on the table! I thought that was very strange at first, but now I’m used to it. Another example is that you are not supposed to eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit. You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork. It’s impolite to say you are full. If you don’t want any more food, you should say，“That’s delicious.”Also, you’re not supposed to put your elbows on the table. I have to say that I find it difficult to remember everything, but I’m gradually getting used to it. I don't find French customs so strange any more.
