關(guān)鍵詞：餐桌禮儀座次安排餐具使用就餐氛圍

隨著改革開(kāi)放的深入，中國(guó)與俄羅斯的交流越來(lái)越多，餐桌禮儀在人們的生活秩序中占有非常重要的地位，比較兩個(gè)國(guó)家的餐桌禮儀，對(duì)于提高我們自身的素質(zhì)和增進(jìn)兩國(guó)進(jìn)一步的交流有著深刻的意義。同時(shí)，餐桌禮儀是也一個(gè)國(guó)家風(fēng)俗文化的體現(xiàn)，不同國(guó)家不同民族由于地域差異的原因，其餐桌禮儀和風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣也千差萬(wàn)別。了解和尊重不同民族的文化，掌握不同文化背景下人們的餐桌禮儀，對(duì)我們進(jìn)行跨文化交際有很大幫助。本文在座次安排、餐具使用、就餐氛圍三方面分析了兩個(gè)國(guó)家在餐桌禮儀上的差別，希望能給大家參考。

一、兩國(guó)在座次安排上的差異。

宴請(qǐng)活動(dòng)的座次安排是飲食禮儀文化中最重要的一部分，是利用空間位置表示個(gè)人地位和人際關(guān)系的一種重要形式。人們對(duì)空間的觀念是經(jīng)過(guò)后天種種因素的影響而習(xí)得的，其中文化因素尤為突出。文化不同，人們對(duì)空間的需求、與空間有關(guān)的交際規(guī)則以及有關(guān)空間的價(jià)值觀念也就有所不同。俄漢民族對(duì)宴請(qǐng)活動(dòng)的座次安排具有明顯的差異，我們不可忽視。中國(guó)人一貫重視“座次”。《禮記 》中講 “天地位焉，意即天地萬(wàn)物各有其位，馬虎不得。在中國(guó)，宴會(huì)中座位通常是以面向南為上，以面向北為下，形成了“南尊”、“北卑”的傳統(tǒng)觀念。這與中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化是密不可分的。我國(guó)的傳統(tǒng)做法除以南北為尊卑外，在民間吃飯，首座可以是主人就坐，但當(dāng)有前輩、領(lǐng)導(dǎo)、師長(zhǎng)、長(zhǎng)者等或年齡比主人高或認(rèn)為是高貴或重要的客人時(shí)，首座必須請(qǐng)最長(zhǎng)者、最高貴者、最重要的客人就坐，主人可以在首座的左手或右手就座，陪伴在最重要的客人左右。然后是左為上，右次之，再后的排列順序是左右左右，以次類推，逐個(gè)排列下去，最后一個(gè)背對(duì)門的座位，也可以是主人坐或者買單的人坐，因?yàn)檫@樣買單時(shí)出出進(jìn)進(jìn)不會(huì)影響其他的客人。而在俄羅斯和其他西方國(guó)家，排座次的做法跟中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)排法正好相反。最尊貴的客人的座位是右為尊，左為次。這是因?yàn)樵诠糯鞣缴鐣?huì)，人們習(xí)慣用右手握匕首，刺殺坐在左邊的人。如果將最尊貴的客人安排在主人的左手位置上，不僅他刺殺不方便，主人還有制服他的優(yōu)勢(shì)地位。隨著社會(huì)的進(jìn)步，在宴會(huì)上刺殺這一古老現(xiàn)象近乎絕跡。今天，西方人在安排座位是已不再著眼于安全保護(hù)，而是出于心理保護(hù)的需求，將主賓席放在主人的右側(cè)，形成了餐桌座位以右為上、左為下的規(guī)矩。

在西方和俄羅斯，“女士?jī)?yōu)先”是他們的傳統(tǒng)文化觀念，是社交活動(dòng)中的重要禮儀規(guī)范。這是因?yàn)樗麄冃欧罨浇蹋斃麃喪撬麄冏鸪绲氖ツ?。在西方和俄羅斯的宴會(huì)中，女性一直占據(jù)了重要的位置。按照國(guó)際慣例，桌次高低以離主桌位置遠(yuǎn)近而定，右高左低，同一桌上，席位高低以離主人的座位遠(yuǎn)近而定。同時(shí)男女賓客必須交叉而坐，即使是夫妻也是如此，并以女主人的座位為準(zhǔn)，主賓坐在女主人的右上方，主賓夫人坐在男主人的右上方。不但如此，男士還要替自己右邊的女賓客拉開(kāi)椅子，以示對(duì)女士的尊重，這充分體現(xiàn)了男女平等的思想。主座是指距離門口最遠(yuǎn)的正中央位置。主座的對(duì)面坐的是邀請(qǐng)人的助理。主賓和副賓分別坐在邀請(qǐng)人的右側(cè)和左側(cè)，位居第三、第四位的客人分別坐在助理的右側(cè)和左側(cè)。讓邀請(qǐng)人和客人面對(duì)面而坐，或讓客人坐在主座上都算失禮。如果是長(zhǎng)條桌時(shí)，主人常常坐在上方橫位，客人分坐兩旁，女主人則多坐下方橫位，以便照顧客人和招呼上菜。有一點(diǎn)不同的是，在俄羅斯的一般生活中對(duì)席間座位的安排無(wú)嚴(yán)格規(guī)定，不太分上座和下座。主座一般是邀請(qǐng)人。需要注意的是，就餐者入座后，姿勢(shì)要端正、自然，后背微靠椅背，不要坐在椅子邊沿，因?yàn)榘凑斩韲?guó)人的說(shuō)法，只有不速之客才會(huì)這么坐。也不要坐在桌角，按照俄國(guó)人的風(fēng)俗迷信，坐在桌角的人要倒霉，如果是姑娘的話，那她就會(huì)嫁不出去而在中國(guó)，尤其是在古代，正式的宴席上根本看不到女性的身影，從而也就無(wú)需考慮女性位置的安排，這與中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化的“男尊女卑”的思想是一致的。

二、兩國(guó)在餐具使用上的差異。

俄漢民族在使用餐具時(shí)與我們中餐及西餐禮儀均有不同的規(guī)范。俄羅斯人進(jìn)餐時(shí)，采取分餐制，使用刀叉和匙，其基本用法是右手持刀或湯匙，左手拿叉。湯匙的持法與握筆的方法基本相同，即：匙柄置于大拇指、食指之間，用中指在柄下托住。需要注意的是，手指務(wù)必持在匙柄上端，而不是匙柄下部。刀叉的拿法是輕握后半部，食指按在柄上。使用刀叉進(jìn)餐時(shí)，左手拿叉按住食物，右手執(zhí)刀將其切成小塊，用叉子送入口中。一般是切一塊，吃一塊，不要一下子全部切完，每塊大小應(yīng)掌握在一口量為宜。只有在無(wú)需用刀切割食物時(shí)，即無(wú)需刀叉并用時(shí)，才可以改用右手拿叉。刀除了用于切割食物，還可用來(lái)幫助將食物米飯等撥到叉上，但千萬(wàn)不可用刀挑起食物往嘴里送。在正式的宴會(huì)上，每吃一道菜要換一副刀叉，對(duì)擺在面前的多副刀叉，應(yīng)由最外面的那副依次向內(nèi)取用。每道菜吃完后，應(yīng)將刀叉平行擺放在盤內(nèi)，這樣侍者就知道可以撤盤了。如果沒(méi)有吃完而需要放下刀叉，那一定要把刀叉呈八字?jǐn)[放在餐盤兩邊，表示用餐尚未結(jié)束。而中國(guó)人吃飯的工具是筷子，不像俄羅斯人吃飯那樣麻煩，餐桌上的擺放也沒(méi)有刀叉那么復(fù)雜?？梢哉f(shuō)“筷子”是老祖宗為我們傳下的一件法寶，簡(jiǎn)單、方便又實(shí)用，除了喝湯，細(xì)細(xì)的兩根竹筷，拿在手上，運(yùn)用自如，能戳、能挾、能撮、能扒，神乎其技。盡管現(xiàn)今的餐具已經(jīng)發(fā)展到琳瑯滿目，唯獨(dú)筷子一雙，無(wú)法取代。使用筷子也是有講究的，中餐進(jìn)餐時(shí)不可玩弄筷子，也不可用筷子向人指指點(diǎn)點(diǎn)或打手勢(shì)示意，也絕對(duì)不可吸吮筷子或把筷子插在米飯中，這是大忌 這好像葬禮上的香燭，被認(rèn)為是不吉利的。同樣在使用刀叉時(shí)也有一些禁忌。如：手里拿著刀叉時(shí)切勿指手畫腳；發(fā)言或交談時(shí)，應(yīng)將刀叉放在盤上才合乎禮儀；忌用自己的餐具為別人夾菜；餐具掉落不要彎腰拾撿等等。

三、兩國(guó)在就餐氛圍的差異。

俄漢民族飲食文化的另一大差異，就是餐桌氣氛上的差異?？偟膩?lái)說(shuō)就是中國(guó)人餐桌上的“鬧”，俄羅斯餐桌上的“靜”。中國(guó)餐飲一般采取圓桌共餐的形式，這是中國(guó)餐飲文化的重要表現(xiàn)形式，這種就餐方式往往能夠制造和諧融洽的氣氛。因此，不論是迎新年、過(guò)生日、辦喜事，還是請(qǐng)朋友吃飯，只要是宴席，目的都只會(huì)有一種形式就是聚餐。中國(guó)人講求家庭觀念，注重一家人圍坐在一起，在一種其樂(lè)融融的祥和氣氛中一起分享各種食物。人們既是在享受著滿桌的佳肴盛饌，更是在享受著那份歡樂(lè)與喜慶的氣氛。中國(guó)人盡管平日好靜，但一坐上餐桌，便滔滔不絕，相互讓菜勸酒，盡情地享受山珍海味，美味佳肴，一片熱鬧喧嘩。這樣的宴客方式才能體現(xiàn)主人的熱情和誠(chéng)懇，餐桌上的熱鬧反映了食客發(fā)自內(nèi)心的歡快。這種“鬧”能從某種程度上折射中國(guó)人家庭溫馨、鄰里和睦、國(guó)人團(tuán)結(jié)的“一團(tuán)和氣”。這大概源于 “飲食所以合歡也 ”的集體主義思想，強(qiáng)調(diào)突出的是一個(gè)“合”字。當(dāng)然這種邊吃邊大聲地交談，旁若無(wú)人，哪怕所談?wù)摰臇|西讓幾米遠(yuǎn)外的人聽(tīng)去也滿不在乎，更不注意大聲說(shuō)話和喧鬧會(huì)給餐廳其他客人造成干擾，也是外國(guó)人不能理解和接受的。

俄羅斯人用餐習(xí)慣是在長(zhǎng)條桌上進(jìn)行，實(shí)行分餐制即各自點(diǎn)菜，各持一份。最普遍的盤式服務(wù)是將餐食在廚房分裝到每一只餐盤中，由服務(wù)員從廚房端出，再迅速、禮貌地送給每位客人。用餐時(shí)，雙手放在桌面以上，胳臂肘不能搭在桌面上，更不能翹二郎腿。俄羅斯人平日好動(dòng)，揮手聳肩等形體語(yǔ)言特別豐富。但一坐到餐桌上便專心致志的去靜靜的切割自家的盤中餐。同時(shí)也會(huì)不失時(shí)機(jī)地與左右客人交談。如左右客人不認(rèn)識(shí)，可先自我介紹。用餐時(shí)他們從不高聲笑談，一般是交頭接耳，像說(shuō)悄悄話似的，更不會(huì)在咀嚼食物時(shí)說(shuō)話，音量保持在對(duì)方能聽(tīng)見(jiàn)的程度上交談。俄羅斯流行的自助餐形式更是各吃各的，互不相擾。盡管俄羅斯人特別喜歡喝酒，無(wú)論男人還是女人，都有很好的酒量，但他們敬酒從不勸酒。他

們舉杯喝酒時(shí)，也要說(shuō)祝酒詞，但一般是利用上菜間隙致祝酒辭，祝酒時(shí)力求做到態(tài)度熱情、話語(yǔ)簡(jiǎn)短、幽默詼諧。所以在俄羅斯無(wú)論餐廳大小，就餐時(shí)沒(méi)有任何的喧鬧，大家都是低聲細(xì)語(yǔ)，這種方式便于個(gè)人之間的情感交流，不必將所有的話擺在桌面上，同時(shí)表現(xiàn)出他們受個(gè)體主義思想的影響，體現(xiàn)了俄羅斯人的獨(dú)立意識(shí)，諸如自我形象、自我意識(shí)和自我選擇等。這和中國(guó)相比，缺少中國(guó)人聊歡共樂(lè)的情調(diào)。從表面形式上看這種就餐方式似乎少了些熱鬧，多了些客氣和獨(dú)立，但實(shí)質(zhì)上最重要的是體現(xiàn)了衛(wèi)生。分餐制還可以體現(xiàn)適度節(jié)儉、合理飲食的理念，克服中餐講究排場(chǎng)、鋪張浪費(fèi)的缺點(diǎn)。分餐制的菜肴和主食由人定量，可以減少浪費(fèi)。不管是餐前小吃還是正餐主食，所配原料都是與就餐者的食量掛鉤的，菜肴道數(shù)盡可能少，但保證每餐吃完。分餐制使每位賓客對(duì)個(gè)人的用餐數(shù)量有了明確的量化概念，在減少浪費(fèi)的同時(shí)又益于身體健康。我們現(xiàn)在的自助餐、冷餐也都體現(xiàn)了這個(gè)宗旨。

四、結(jié)論

總之，餐桌禮儀在人的生活秩序中占有非常重要的地位。不同的地域，不同的國(guó)家，孕育著不同的餐桌文化，其餐桌禮儀和風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣也千差萬(wàn)別?！叭刖扯鴨?wèn)禁，入國(guó)而問(wèn)俗，入門而問(wèn)諱”是當(dāng)今國(guó)際交往的一條原則。在跨文化交際中，我們不僅要遵循國(guó)際禮儀，同時(shí)也要了解與尊重有關(guān)國(guó)家的禮俗，做到因人施禮，這樣才能更好地學(xué)習(xí)和交流。參考文獻(xiàn)：

第五篇：中國(guó)的餐桌禮儀英文介紹

In China, as with any culture, there are rules and customs that surround what is appropriate and what is not when dining, whether it is in a restaurant or in someone’s home.Learning the appropriate way to act and what to say will not only help you feel like a native, but will also make those around you more comfortable, and able to focus on you, instead of your interesting eating habits.同其他國(guó)家文化一樣，在中國(guó)，無(wú)論是在餐館還是在家，用餐時(shí)也有很多禁忌。適當(dāng)了解一些中國(guó)的餐桌禮儀，不僅能讓你更加入鄉(xiāng)隨俗，融入其中，而且能讓別人注意到你，而不是你特別的用餐習(xí)慣。
