【翻譯原文】
十二生肖(Twelve Chinese Zodiac Signs )是中國人習(xí)慣上用來表示出生年份的十二種動物，即鼠、牛、虎、兔、龍、蛇、馬、羊、猴、雞、狗、豬。每十二年循壞一次，每年都與一個屬相對應(yīng)。長期以來，人類與十二生肖有著一種特殊的關(guān)系。 據(jù)說這些動物所代表的年份能影響人的性格，這和西方文化中的十二星座(constellation)類似。

中西方飲食習(xí)慣的主要區(qū)別在于:中國把菜肴放在桌上大家共享，西方則每個人都有自己的食盤。中國的餐桌禮儀是指中國人的傳統(tǒng)用餐方式。自中國古代起，就有許多人們必須注意的餐桌禮儀，比如餐具(cutlery)如何擺放，如何在宴會上落座等。通常情況下，尊貴的人應(yīng)坐尊位(seat of honor)，地位較低的人根據(jù)各自地位高低相應(yīng)落座;長者座位的朝向最好。
