略谈中西方饮食文化差异
餐饮产品由于地域特征、气侯环境、风俗习惯等因素的影响，会出现在原料、口味、烹调方法、饮食习惯上的不同程度的差异。正是因为这些差异，餐饮产品具有了强烈的地域性。中西文化之间的差异造就了中西饮食文化的差异，而这种差异来自中西方不同的思维方式和处世哲学。中国人注重“天人合一”，西方人注重“以人为本”。
这里简要从下面三个方面谈谈中西方饮食文化的差异。
一、两种不同的饮食观念
对比注重“味”的中国饮食，西方是一种理性饮食观念。不论食物的色、香、味、形如何，而营养一定要得到保证，讲究一天要摄取多少热量、维生素、蛋白质等等。即便口味千篇一律，也一定要吃下去——因为有营养。这一饮食观念同西方整个哲学体系是相适应的。形而上学是西方哲学的主要特点。西方哲学所研究的对象为事物之理，事物之理常为形上学理，形上学理互相连贯，便结成形上哲学。
西方人菜肴主要是让充饥，而吃肉的时候则是吃一些比较大块的肉，很多动物的内脏之类的都会丢弃，中国则会把鸡的内脏之类的创造出另外一道菜。中国人吃饭喜欢大家团聚在一起，而西方欧美国家聚餐则会比较多的礼仪。
1、中西饮食观念的差异
中国拥有着五千多年的悠久历史，拥有着非常多的灿烂文明存在。中国人也非常爱吃，每个地区都会有一些当地的特色菜系。西方的欧美国家饮食则是以面粉为主，制作的工序相对会比较的简单。
2、中西饮食对象的差异
西方人认为菜肴是充饥的，所以专吃大块肉、整块鸡等“硬菜”；而中国的菜肴是“吃味”的。所以中国烹调在用料上也显出极大的随意性：许多西方人视为弃物的东西，在中国都是极好的原料，外国厨师无法处理的东西，一到中国厨师手里，就可以化腐朽为神奇。足见中国饮食在用料方面的随意性之广博。
3、中西饮食方式、餐具及礼仪的不同
在餐具方面，差异就更甚明显。众所周知，中国人包括亚洲一些黄种人的国家，使用的是筷子、汤匙，吃饭也用碗盛；而西方人呢，则是盘子盛食物，用刀叉即切即吃，喝汤则有专门的汤匙。筷子与刀叉作为东西方最具代表性的两种餐具，筷子和刀叉影响了东西方不同的生活方式，代表着不同的两种智慧。着名的物理学家、诺贝尔物理奖获得者李政道博士，在接受一位日本记者采访时，也有一段很精辟的论述：“中华民族是个优秀民族，中国人早在春秋战国时期就使用了筷子。
文化差异(Culture Difference):种族 National race
The whole question of the changing role of Blacks in American society as been the subject of newspaper articles around the world so frequently that visitors to the United States do not know what to expect when they arrive. They may be surprised when they see that Blacks and Whites work side by side in offices , factories , and schools across the country . The majority of Blacks in the United States, however, live in and around only a small number of American cities.
Many dark-skinned visitors arrive in the United States fearing personal attack or expecting various degrees of racial prejudice. Some forms of discrimination [1] still exist ,unfortunately, especially in the areas of the housing , schools , and jobs . The school equality is still more a dream than a reality. There are still too many areas of the country where Black Americans do not enjoy the same full opportunities as White Americans . However, the vast majority of American s are working , studying , and sharing public places together. This was not true even a few years ago in some parts of the country , but progress is steadily being made . You will be able to observe the improvement in race relations as soon as your plane lands . You will see it in the airport, in public buses and trains , in theaters , restaurants , rest room, in sops and libraries , in offices and factories . Close personal friendships between Blacks and Whites , full trust and social relationships are still not common , except in certain areas, However, even in this - the slowest area of progress-there has been change , especially among young people.
[1] discrimination n. 辨别, 区别, 识别力, 辨别力, 歧视

Culture Difference
发表日期：2005-04-22 10:58:52 作者：洪恩在线
It is not a novel knowledge that culture difference exists between eastern and w
estern countries. But not until I heard the lecture given by a Chinese scholar,
who has been lived in Australia for several years, did I came to understand that
how different it is.
The scholar summarized that we, as Chinese, prefer to think in a spiral, casual
way, while western people, more often than not, are fond of a linear, business-i
s-business way. Supporting the idea, he named out examples he himself experience
d while staying in Australia. Here are some excerpts.
Firstly, line up matter. If you are in China, it is not rare to see that a crowd
of people throng in the supermarket, trying to get service first. People in Ch
ina do line up, the scholar said in a humorous tone, but they prefer to line up
at a horizontal way.
In contrast, in western countries, say, in Australia, people always line up, no
matter in a big bank or a small grocery store. And they take it for granted. Lin
ing up has long since become part of their life that they scarcely doubt it or g
row impatient while doing it.
Secondly, first come, first served. Though in words it is a normal principle her
e in China, it’s mostly not the case in reality. Take an example of what usuall
y happens in a bank. Here when we are in a middle-sized bank, and suppose we are
talking with the cashier, it always tends to have someone butt in, claiming tha
t his or her request takes only one second.
And it seems that we have already been accustomed to it. So has the cashier. But
in western countries, it never applies. It is always rude that you butt in whil
e the cashier is serving his customer. No matter how little time your request co
sts, the cashier, more often than not, is likely to turn you down. Only one cust
omer at a time is his principle.
Thirdly, change stuff. Suppose I am in a shopping mall and the stuff I purchase
cost me 142 RMB. While lining up at the casher’s and happening to check my wall
et, I find I have 200 RMB and two one-yuan coins. What will I do? To give the ca
shier 200 RMB, or give him 200 RMB and the two one-yuan coins so that he could r
eturn me 60 RMB, which is more convenient for both of us.
I think when the Chinese were in this situation, they would mostly choose the la
tter one. But the scholar said, in Australia, they won’t do so. He then told th
at he himself did try it once, and he thought it was self-evident to do so. But
the cashier did not understand.
So the scholar latter on summarized that western people are prone to lack of fle
xibility while doing their work. Then how about us in their eyes? They think we
Chinese have a tendency to make things complicate. What an interesting contrast!
Here I don’t intend to tell which is better and which is worse. What I try to s
ay is just that we might well be in conformity with the customs and be aware of
the culture differences while being abroad. Like the saying goes—while you are
in Rome, do as Romans do. If you don’t want to put yourself in the public, bear
ing all this in mind is perhaps the best policy.

Dear Caroline,
I think your scholar friend spent several years in Australia and completely miss
ed the most important value represented in his examples. That value is egalitar
ianism. The principle that people should be treated equally.
When the bank teller insists on attending one customer at a time the principle i
s not "only one customer at a time" it is "this customer waited in line and so w
ill you, no matter how tall, how well dressed or how loud your voice." And you
can be sure if the customer is a poor working man and the impatient man is a wel
l dressed business man, the customer will very bruskly insist on his rights not
to be interrupted. A well run bank will have a customer service person who can
answer questions, but people doing transactions must wait their turn. My impres
sion of a business or a nation where people are not treated equally in the marke
tplace and a bully can obtain service without waiting is a place where there is
a class oriented culture and/or where one can bribe one …………[文章太长，没有全部显示，点击本文标题阅读全文]

Dear Tim,
The lecture given by the scholar is mainly on English learning. That's for he na
med such examples. He just aimed to tell the audience how important to understan
d a culture is, which is different from our motherland.
What you said is indeed right. And I am with you on this. The corruption in Chi
na is rampant these years, you relate it with class. Well, I haven't thought abo
ut it. But I do agree that the idea of class roots in many people's mind.
Like the example you took in the article, I almost could be sure that here the c
ashier would definitely turn to the well dressed business man. You say that the
poor working man will insist on his rigts not to be interrupted. But here I gues
s he would just pretend not to mind it and let it be.
I myself experienced this once, in fact. Once I was in a post office to have a p
ackage posted. You know, it was crowded inside and the people lined up in a wayw
ard way. So when it was my turn, and when I was just about to tell the man my re
quest, one guy …………[文章太长，没有全部显示，点击本文标题阅读全文]

You've got a sharp eye for the human conditions, Tim.

Dear Panpanpan,
I wouldn't have written in such a non-diplomatic fashion except that I wanted to
see what people thought, and that sort of behavior is particularly irritating t
o me. I will try not to lose my temper when I am in China. I don't want to get
"kung fu'd". Great to hear from you, friend. I want to hear more of your thou
ghts.
Tim

It won't happen in New York. Maybe the cashers in NY are smarter. :)

一些美食学家曾对中美饮食文化的差异做出过研究。
美国人比较诚信，守时，工作比较讲究效率和原则等等；
可能以下的讲解更有深度。
一、中国文化的古老性与美国文化的现代化
中国文化有着几千年的历史，中美企业文化差异，这古老的岁月本身就具有无尽的财富，文化也同名胜古迹一样，时间愈久远，便愈具有无以伦比的价值。然而她也像一棵千年古树，一方面根深蒂固，枝繁叶茂；一方面又含有一些枯枝败叶。中国的先哲们给后人留下了丰美的历史宝藏，也留下了沉重的历史包袱。你望着这棵遮天蔽日的参天大树，中美饮食文化差异，你会为她的苍劲漂亮而折服，你也会想象有多少岁月神奇的秘密蕴藏其中。中国博大精深的传统文化是深深植根在中国这片土地之上的，她已不可能被移植，中国的一切现代文明都只能在这棵大树上进行嫁接而成；考虑中国的任何事情，都离不开历史这个无形的手对现实的影响。中国的社会关系也就好比这棵大树的根系，树越古老，中美文化差异英文版，根系越繁杂。中国传统文化是中国人的思维模式和行为方式形成的理论基础，对中国的社会关系具有不可抗拒的影响。
而美国只有两百年的历史，美国的文化，是一群现代人，按照现代人的意志和思维模式构建起来的一座现代文明的宫殿。美国人没有丰富的历史宝藏可挖掘，但也没有沉重的历史包袱去承受，美国人完全在按现代人的需要去创造科学，创造财富，创造民主的社会制度。
以上就是中美饮食文化差异英文的全部内容，中国的社会关系也就好比这棵大树的根系,树越古老,中美文化差异英文版,根系越繁杂。中国传统文化是中国人的思维模式和行为方式形成的理论基础,对中国的社会关系具有不可抗拒的影响。 而美国只有两百年的历史,美国的文化,是一群现代人,按照现代人的意志和思维模式构建起来的一座现代文明的宫殿。
