some english and american people...阅读理解翻译20分钟快,答对补加10财富

Some British and American people like to invite friends and colleagues for a
meal at home. You should not be upset (心烦意乱) if your English friends don't
invite you home. It doesn't mean they don't like you. Dinner parties usually
start between 7 and 8 p.m., and end at about 11. Ask your hosts what time you
should arrive. It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a
present.
一些英国和美国人喜欢邀请朋友和同学在家里吃饭.如果你的英国朋友没有邀请你到他家做客你不必心烦意乱.这并不代表他不喜欢你.晚餐聚会通常在晚上7点到8点开始,11点结束,所以要问一下主人你应该什么时候到达.带一些礼物如花、巧克力或一瓶红酒是一种礼貌.
Do you want to be extra (特别地) polite? Say how much you like the
room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember-not to ask how much things cost.
You'll probably start the meal with soup, or something small as a "starter"
(第一道菜), then you'll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then a dessert (甜食),
followed by coffee. It's polite to finish everything on your plate and to take
more if you want it. Some people eat bread with their meal, but not everyone
does.
你是否想显得特别客气?你可以说你多喜欢这个屋子或是墙上的画.但是请注意不要问价格.你们的晚餐通常是先喝汤,或是一些简单的第一道菜,然后你会吃到搭配蔬菜的肉或鱼,然后是甜食,紧接着是咖啡.吃光你盘子里的所有东西或是再要一些被视为有礼貌.有些人会在晚餐吃面包,但并不是所有人都这样.
Before they take out their cigarettes after the meal, most people
usually ask, "Do you mind if I smoke here?"
在餐后点烟前,大部分的人都会问一句“你介意我抽一支烟吗?”
Did you enjoy the evening? Call
your hosts the next day, or write them a short "thank you" letter. Perhaps it
seems funny to you, but British and American people say, "thank you, thank you,
and thank you." all the time.
你享受这样的夜晚吗?在第二天打电话告诉主人,或是写一份简短的“感谢”信.也许对于你来说这看起来很好笑,但是英国人或美国人都会在任何时候说“感谢、感谢、感谢”
