zhǔkè: At a Chinese banquet the guest of honor sits farthest away from the door, the inner-most place in the room. The host sits nearest the door, on the serving side of the table.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Bié jīn gěi wo jiǎn cài: This expression is often used at dinner parties. It is good hospitality for the host or hostess to serve the guests individually from time to time, picking out tender morsels for them. Fellow guests may also do this for the guest of honor.

|
|
|
|
|
|
-gān yìbēi: 'Drink a glass', literally 'dry * glass' (meaning 'to make the glass dry by emptying it). Since wine cups are small, the usual toast is Gān bēi!. 'Bottoms up!' For people who don't like to drink too much, the phrase Suíyì, 'As you like', will serve as a reply indicating that the whole cup need not be emptied. See the note on suíyì below.

NOTES FOLLOWING PART II DIALOGUE
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Most of the entertaining at a Chinese dinner party takes place at the dinner table, although there is some tea drinking and chatting both before and after the meal in other rooms. The dinner is served at a leisurely pace so that each dish may be savored and talked about. A good dish is appreciated for its appearance as much as its taste, texture and aroma. As each dish is eaten, toasts will be made. The host will start off by toasting the guest of honor and then other guests as a group. As the evening progresses he will toast each guest in turn and each guest will probably propose a toast of his own in honor of the host. A strongly flavored liquor (gāoliang jiǔ). a milder rice wine (huíng jiǔ). or beer may be served. Guests usually drink only when toasting. If you'd like to take a drink of something you either propose a toast or catch someon's eye and silently toast each other.
