Hostess: Would you like to have some more chicken ?
Guest: No, thank you. The chicken is very delicious, but I'm just too full.
Host: But I hope you saved room for dessert. Mary makes very good pumpkin pies.
Guest: That sounds very tempting. But I hope we can wait a little while, if you don't mind.
Host: Of course. How about some coffee or tea now ?
Guest: Tea, please. Thanks.
★餐位(Seating arrangement)
餐位的安排大致上如上图。原则上男主宾(Gentleman of honor)坐在女主人(hostess)右边,女主宾(lady of honor )坐在男主人(host)右边,而且多半是男女相间而坐,夫妇不坐在一起,以免各自聊家常话而忽略与其他宾客间的交际。
