小貼士

很多時(shí)候，一些談判和商討都是在餐桌上完成的，一頓成功的商務(wù)晚餐可以令任何一種商業(yè)關(guān)系得到鞏固。選定餐廳之前，東道主要先把共餐者對(duì)食物和地點(diǎn)的偏好弄清楚，才不至于發(fā)生尷尬事件。西方的商務(wù)宴客方式主要有：

seated dinners 宴會(huì)（較正式，嘉賓每人都有各自固定的席位）

receptions 招待會(huì)

buffet dinners 自助餐（也稱冷餐會(huì)）

cocktail parties 雞尾酒會(huì)（時(shí)尚發(fā)布會(huì)后經(jīng)常舉辦類似酒會(huì)）

some etiquette you can't miss

1. if you don't like what's being served, don't say so.

2. don't put your used napkin on the top of the table.

3. if something that goes into your mouth must come out because it's unchewable, don't spit it out or into the napkin.

4. cut only two or three pieces of meat at a time.

5. signal the servers that you are still eating by placing your fork and knife in an inverted v on your plate from the 10 to 2 o'clock positions.

6. turn cell phones off when at dinner.

不可不知的餐桌禮儀

1. 如果不喜歡餐桌上的食物，也不要說出來。

2. 不要把用過的餐巾放在桌子上面。

3. 吃到難以下咽的東西，也不要吐出來或吐在餐巾紙上。

4. 吃肉時(shí)每次最多切成兩到三塊。

5. 如果要提示服務(wù)員繼續(xù)用餐，把餐叉和小刀放在你盤子上10點(diǎn)到2點(diǎn)鐘的位置成倒v狀。

6. 用餐時(shí)把手機(jī)關(guān)掉。
