高中英语-牛津译林版-高二上册-模块6 Unit 2 What is happiness to you?
When treating some friends to dinner, we Chinese often say, “The dishes are not good. Please forgive me.” In fact, it is a Chinese way of (be) modest. he really means is that all the dishes here are really wonderful! What he really hopes is compliment from the guests! But English would not understand it at all! Now that it is not very good, why should you present the dishes in front of us? The English would say to their guests “ Enjoy yourselves!” when eating and “hope you've enjoyed!” after eating.
While (eat), we Chinese often say to the guests, “Eat slowly.” This would be very (puzzle) to the foreigners: Am I eating very violently? Am I eating too or too much?
And now comes the end of the dinner when your guests (leave). The Chinese would say, “Walk slowly!” This is a very polite saying in Chinese, but will also be confusing to the foreigners: why can't I walk fast? Does it matter I walk slowly or not? Are you worrying that I may fall over? change your words a simple “Bye!” or “See you next time!”
