Therefore, you should also be prepared for lengthy negotiations. 雖然美國人享有決策果斷的聲譽(yù)，但是，在公司著手進(jìn)行主要或重大項(xiàng)目時，決策并非總是果斷的。因

54、此，你也要做好準(zhǔn)備進(jìn)行冗長的談判。,中餐桌上最神奇、最有特色的用餐工具莫過于筷子。幾千年來我們中國人一直視筷子為一種最簡單同時也是最有效的用餐工具。 No eating tools on the Chinese dinner table are more magical and distinctive than the chopsticks. For thousands of years we Chinese have always regarded chopsticks the simplest possible and the most efficient tool for meals.,

55、關(guān)于筷子的用料，其種類各有不同，選材包括竹子、木材、玉石、象牙、塑料、金銀等。 Chopsticks can be made of a variety of materials, including bamboo, wood, jade, ivory, plastic, gold and silver and so on.,對于西方人來說，掌握用筷的方法和技巧在開始時也許難度很大，但是只要有耐心，用心去練，不久便可以熟練地使用筷子享用中餐。 For Westerners, the mastery of the method and skills for using chopsticks may

56、 be quite challenging at the beginning. But as long as you have patience and concentrate on practice, you will soon be able to use chopsticks skillfully enough to enjoy a Chinese meal.,如果想享用一頓真正意義上的中餐，那么花時間耐心學(xué)習(xí)用筷技藝不僅很有必要，而且也很有趣。 If you want to enjoy a Chinese meal in the real sense, it is not only n

59、推廣和提倡使用普通話對加快中國改革開放的步伐是舉足輕重的。 This obviously hinders economic development and social progress. Undoubtedly the popularization and promotion of Mandarin is vital to speeding up Chinas reform and opening up drive. /,這樣做，將有助于提高漢語信息管理技術(shù)，因此，符合全體中國人民的根本利益。 It will help improve the technology of information management in Chinese. Therefore, it is the basic interests of all Chinese.,補(bǔ)充有關(guān)餐桌禮儀的句子翻譯,中國人吃飯用筷子，西方人則用餐刀、餐叉。有些人會用筷子，但大多數(shù)人則不行，所以在西方客人擺餐具時，筷子旁邊再擺上刀叉是很明智的做法。 Chinese eat with chopsticks while most of the westerners eat with knives and forks.
