Question

Customs in different countries are different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host (主人), he always puts more food onto my plates. That often discomforts（使不舒服）me greatly. I have to eat the food though I don’t want to, because it is a bad manner in the west to leave one’s food on the plate. I notice that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he very often refuses the offer（提供）of food or drink though he wants to have them. This may be good manners in China, but it is not in the West at all. In the United States, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or make him accept something. They will ask for it. If not, they will say, “ No, thanks.” If an American dislikes the host’s beer, for example, he may say, “No, thanks. I would like other drinks. Coke-cola if you have it.” That is what an American will do. So when you go to the United states, you had better remember the famous saying, when in Rome, do as the Romans (罗马人) do.
