美国英语全称 美国英语怎么拼写篇一
americans love all kinds of food, italian, chinese, mexican, greek, french, japanese and many others. the americans are in fact
“the un of food.”
to get familiar with the american eating custom, one must know two things. first, one must know the sequence5 of service. there is something special in terms of the sequence, or order, of dish service in america compared with ours. here is the order:
1. aperitif6—a small cup of alcoholic drink to increase one's appetite7. the host or hostess will ask: “do you like a cup of aperitif?”
2. hors d'oeuvre8—some tasty food offered in small quantities at the beginning of a meal.
3. appetizer —or called starter, it is a small serving of juice, fruit or seafood or something else, at the beginning of a meal, to stimulate9 people's appetite.
4. now the main course is under way:
a) soup—it is usually the first course in a dinner.
b) fish—it is usually served after the soup and before the entree10 in a formal meal.
c) entree—the third course of a meal, generally it is made up of a hot meat.
d) savory11—the last course in a formal meal, it is something pleasant to eat but with a salty rather than sweet taste.
5. dessert12 —sweet food served toward the end of a meal, usually it is a pudding, chocolate cake, or cheese and biscuits sometimes.
6. coffee—that's the last stage in a formal present-day european and american dinner. it's served either at table or in the living room.
in a family treatment, the above-mentioned no 1-3 stage may be omitted13, though no 4 is the essential part. and the main course generally includes no more than 5 dishes of nutrient14 food. ostentation15 is never under consideration.
another thing to mention is that serving oneself from one's own plate is popular in europe and america, except for the soup and bread which is taken and enjoyed according to one's need.
the second one we must know about the american eating custom is the taboos at table.
(1) don't circle your plate with your arm. if you do so, you will become the focus16 of the table. everyone would wonder: “is there anything wrong with the food?” this may give a false message that you don't like the food or something like that.
(2) don't push the plate back when finished. leave it where it was. do you mean to remind17 the hostess that you've just completed a labor?
(3)don't lean18 back and announce that “i'm through” or “i'm stuffed19.” just put the fork and knife quietly across the plate, that's all.
(4) don't cut up everything before you start to eat. cut only one or two bites20 at a time.
(5) never take huge mouthfuls of anything. do you mean to show how hungry you are? don't do that! be gentlemanlike or ladylike.
(6) don't crook21 your finger when picking up a cup or glass. that looks too affected22, far from ladylike!
(7) never wear too much lipstick23 to the table. it may stain the napkins24 and look gaudy25 and embarrassing on the rims26 of the cup or glass.
(8) it's never acceptable to reach across the table for anything (a serving dish, for example). if the item you want is not at hand, simply ask for the nearest person for help, like “mrs. smith, would you mind passing me the butter (or a dish)?”
美国英语全称 美国英语怎么拼写篇二
last year, my parents and i arrived in the united states on the other side of the ocean, living in chicago, the third largest city in the united states. the city life there is very different from the city life in china.
special one: building
most people in china live in public housing or apartments, and there are not so many people in the united states. people usually live in semi-detached houses. the left half of the family, the right half the other family, or up and down two families, the economy many people live in the independent house. the two houses are not large, usually made of beautiful bricks, and the first floor has steps to connect the ground and houses, and the houses are numbered with metal. there was a small garden around the house, with lush trees and green grass, and some tables and chairs. there is a fence outside the garden, a password lock on the fence, someone with a key to the password can go in, so it's safe to live in it.
special 2: traffic
car penetration in china is lower than in the u.s., where most chinese residents take public transportation, and almost every home in the united states has a car. why? that's because the united states was designed as a big car in the first place. the roads are designed to be spacious and the garage is so much designed that there are few traffic jams or parking spaces in the united states. back in china, there are no seats left for the training courses, and the half way is still stuck on the high shelf, so it must get up early to be not late.
winter in the united states, people don't have to wear thick wool pants and a sweater, because indoor central heating in the winter, go out is given priority to with the car, go out just get in the car, the car also has air conditioning, so don't feel cold. it's kind of like our northeast china.
special 3: diet
you must be very fond of pizza and cookies. these are the snacks that everyone enjoys during the break. but why eat well and sometimes not to eat? that's because americans eat high-calorie foods, such as a pizza, so they eat them for dinner. americans pay more attention to the nutrition of food, like to eat high-protein things, and also like to eat very sweet snack, so you can't burn chinese food in the united states can only eat these things all day long!
you see how different china's urban life is from the american city life!
