Setting the Table 布置餐桌

Here's how to set a table for a basic meal (a main course plus a dessert course) using Western cutlery. 以下是使用西式餐具为基本餐点（主菜加甜点）设置餐桌的方法。 Each place at the table needs: 餐桌上的每个地方都需要： a dinner plate 一个餐盘 a fork 一把叉子 a knife 一把刀 a dessert spoon 一个甜点勺 a drinking glass. 一个水杯。

Put the dinner plate at the centre of the place setting. 将餐盘放在餐具的中央。 On the left of the plate, place the fork, prongs pointing up. 在盘子的左边，放上叉子，叉子朝上。 On the right of the plate, place the knife, sharp edge facing toward the plate. 在盘子的右侧，将刀放在盘子上，锋利的边缘朝向盘子。 To the right of the knife place the spoon, with the drinking glass above it. 将勺子放在刀的右侧，将水杯放在其上方。

For more complicated meals: 对于更复杂的膳食： If there is an "entree" (= a course before the main course), put the entree fork to the left of the main fork and put the entree knife to the right of the main knife. 如果有“主菜”（=主菜之前的一道菜），把主菜叉放在主叉的左边，把主菜刀放在主刀的右边。 In that way, your guests start using the outermost cutlery first, and work inwards. 这样，您的客人首先开始使用最外面的餐具，然后向内工作。
