观点1： Eating Custom and Practice
American eating is funny. They eat almost everything with a fork, and it appears that holding a knife in one's right hand longer than a few seconds is considered to be against good table manners.
饮食的风俗和习惯
美国人的饮食习惯很有趣。他们吃所有东西都用叉子。好像用右手拿刀几秒钟就被认为与好的桌上进餐礼仪相违背。

The system is that if it is absolutely necessary to use a knife, people take the fork in their left hand, and cut off a piece of meat or whatever it is in the normal manner. Then they put the knife down, transfer the fork to their right hand, and only then do they transport the food to their mouth. This is clearly ludicrous(滑稽可笑), but it is considered good manners.
这种用法就是如果绝对需要用刀的话，人们就用左手拿叉，按平常的方法切下移小块肉和者其它的东西。然后他们把刀放下，把叉转到右手，只有这时他们才把食物送入口中。这显然很滑稽，但却是被认为是好的礼仪。
