Question

【题目】请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息，完成下面的信息卡。

We often dine out with others, but do you know some basic etiquette（礼节）? If you behave well at the table, it will make your partners happy. But if you don't know how to behave yourself, you will feel embarrassed. Here are some tips for the table etiquette.

When helping a woman pull her chair to the table, hold it and guide it. Don't shove（碰撞）it against the back of her legs. If you're seated at a table with eight or fewer guests, wait for everyone to be served and for the hostess（女主人）to begin eating before you dig in. At a long banquet table, it's OK to start when several people are seated and served.

If you prefer not to have wine while dining out, don't turn your glass upside down, and don't make a big deal of saying you don't drink. Simply place your fingertips on the rim（边缘）of the glass and say “Not today, thanks.”

When you excuse yourself to go to the restroom, just say “Please excuse me.”

When out with friends or family—even at a fancy restaurant—it's OK to ask for your leftovers（吃剩的饭菜）to be wrapped. But don't do it at a business lunch or dinner.
