中西文化的差异造就了中西饮食文化的不同,在不同的文化背景下无论是饮食观念、饮食方式、对象以及餐桌礼仪都大为不同。然而,随着经济全球化与国际交流的发展,中西饮食文化也在交流中共同发展。中西饮食文化差异的学习不仅有利于提高我们的英语水平,还有利于提高我们跨文化交际能力。 The differences between Chinese and Western cultures have created differences in Chinese and Western food culture. In different cultural backgrounds, both the concept of diet, the mode of eating, the objects and the table manners are quite different. However, with the development of economic globalization and international exchange, the Chinese and Western food culture are also developing together in the exchange. Learning Chinese and Western diet culture differences not only help to improve our English proficiency, but also help to improve our intercultural communication skills.
