6.Light the room well.
6.使房间灯光明亮。
If the dining room looks very upbeat, the meal immediately looks interesting and your family members will reflect the mood of the lighting too. If the place looks very dull, everyone might be running a bit low on their energy so it is best if you put some nice lighting and some VERY low music in the background just so that you have a pleasant eating experience。
如果餐厅的光线非常的有雅致,吃饭时就会立马觉得带劲而家人的心情也会通过光线作用变得明朗起来。如果房子里的灯光过于暗淡,大家的食欲可能会有所低落因此最好将光线调好同时放点轻音乐做背景,这样的话会让你吃饭时有一个愉快心情。

7.Taste everything even if you don't like it.
7.即便是你不喜欢的食物也应试着去品尝。
Children and teenagers might reject a new food if you present it to them and I know that some adults might be sceptical about eating certain foods but give them a tip. Ask them to try just a tiny spoonful and if they like it, they can have more. If they don't, then leave them to finish the rest of their meal. A lot of the times people have preconceived ideas that they don't like a particular kind of food but if they try a bit, there is a possibility they might love it. If you cook the dish again and your child rejects it, ask them to try it again. Constant feeding in really tiny spoonfuls may lead to the child or person getting used to it and thinking that it isn't that bad after all。
儿童和青少年可能不爱吃一些新的食物,如果你将它摆在他们面前,他们会予以拒绝。而且据我所知一些成年人也对某些食物情有独钟,不妨给他们点建 议。可以叫他们先尝试一小口看,如果喜欢的话,他们就会多吃点。如果不喜欢,就让他们把自己剩余的饭菜吃完。很多时候,由于成见人们不喜欢吃某种特定的食 物,但如果他们愿意先尝试一点,很可能会变得爱吃它了。如果你第二次做它的时候孩子们还是不吃,不妨请他们再尝试尝试。这样每次吃一点点,孩子们及他人就 会习惯吃了并会发现原来它并不难吃。

餐桌礼仪

8.Good manners while leaving the table don't hurt.
8.离开餐桌时不忘表现得体。
If someone has to leave the table immediately because they have to do some important work or attend a call, have them say “Excuse me” and say what that important thing they had to do is. This way, the person is learning manners that are useful if he or she is at a formal dinner place and most of all, good manners just don't hurt! This way you know where the person is going and you are assured that they aren't indirectly saying they don't want to eat with the rest of the family。
如果有人因一些重要的事情要急于处理或接听电话需要立即离开餐桌时,他们是否会说声“对不起”,并解释是什么重要的事情他们得去做?这样的话, 对正在学习礼仪的人来说,会使他或她日后出席正式的晚宴场合时会觉得非常受用,而且最重要的是,良好的举止行为并无大碍!这样,他们的离开你就会知道他将 往何处并坚信他们不是不愿与家人一起共餐了。

9.Be decent at the table.
9.餐桌前应端庄。
My parents always told me that eat at home like you would eat outside. Never do silly things like burp or pour gravy on your fingers or something silly. Don't play around with food or make faces in your potato mash. Even laughing loudly isn't very polite especially if you are outside. Teaching this to children and using it yourself means that you are encouraging good manners and that you learn to eat outside the same way. Doing silly things at home are excusable but doing them outside where there are other people isn't really that laudable. So try eating at home as decently as you can. Children will want to muck about but tell them straight off that it isn't very polite. Tell them that they wouldn't want to have someone burping at them or laughing at them。
我的父母常跟我说,在家吃饭时什么样子在外面吃也会一样。吃饭时不要做些像打嗝或将肉汁倒在手指上与其他一些滑稽的事情。不要糟蹋食物与将土豆 泥涂在自己的脸上。连放声大笑甚至也会被认为是不礼貌的行为,特别是在外面吃的时候更是这样。倡导文明的举止行为应是在教导孩子们礼仪的同时将这些礼仪运 用于自己身上,这样在外面吃时你会和在家里表现出同样的举止。如果说在家里做些滑稽的行为可以得到原谅,但在外面这样做的话他人就会觉得并不值得称赞了。 因此,在家里吃饭时尽量举止端庄。孩子们可能会胡闹但要直截了当的告诉他们那是不礼貌的行为。告诉他们,在吃饭时人们一般不喜欢有人向他们打嗝和大笑。

10.Teach children to eat well.
10.教导孩子吃好。
Teenagers and children can be quite fussy when it comes to eating food. Refer this article that teaches how to get your children to eat healthily. If you use the tips I've provided in that article, you will notice a significant change in the eating habits of your children。
青少年和儿童在吃东西时可能特别挑剔。请参考这篇教导《如何让孩子吃得健康》的文章。如果您运用了我在那篇文章里提到的一些贴士,你会发现孩子的饮食习惯有了重大的改变。
Just little things like the ones I've listed above will not only teach you and your children how to have a good ettiquette when you go outside but also it is helping your family bond indirectly through a meal. This really is food for thought!
我上面列举的一些细节不仅可以让你与你的孩子在外面时怎样去保持良好的举止行为,而且它还可以帮助你通过聚餐间接性地搞好家庭关系。这着实耐人寻味!
