過去簡單式

to 不定詞

Well, here's some simple, traditional etiquette tips.

以下提供一些簡單、典型的用餐禮儀須知。

What would happen if you set a table like this?

So the dishes aren't directly on the table.

這樣菜餚就不會直接接觸餐桌。

這主要是和觀感有關而非禮儀。

But it's rare to see nothing under a plate.

但通常盤子下面不會什麼都沒有。

And your dinner knife on the right-hand side.

Since these are the hands we use them with.

因為我們是左手拿叉子、右手拿刀子。

And the salad knife to the outside of the dinner knife.

From a time when dinner knives were quite sharp.

And it was a sign of politeness and nonaggression.

這是禮貌和和互不侵犯的象徵。

To keep them pointed away from other diners.

喝湯用的湯匙要放在刀子外側。

Only set the table with what you'll need.

接著就是甜點，甜點是冰淇淋。

Since we don't need it for a little while.

You'd set a fork and flip it 180 degrees.

So it would be right side-up on the left instead.

這樣手柄就可以輕易滑到左手邊。

Next we'll anchor our setting with the plate.

The bread plate goes up and to the left of the setting.

And the butter knife goes on the plate at an angle.

And then place the water glass to the left of it at an angle.

想想看水(water)和酒(wine)的拼法。

They go left to right in alphabetical order.

在字母的順序上也是由左到右。

To remember left and right with the bread and the drinks...

想要記得麵包跟飲料由左至右的順序......

B 就代表麵包盤，要擺在左邊。

Lastly, the napkin traditionally goes to the left of the forks.

最後，餐巾紙通常擺在叉子左邊。

Though it's okay to put it underneath them, too.

The next time you're asked to help set the table.
