Jim: Tony, Lin Tao invited us to have dinner with his family.
Tony: Really? I'd love to.
Jim: Sure. In China people put all the dishes on the table and everyone shares the food together.
Tony: That's interesting. I hear they usually use chopsticks. Do they use spoons(勺子)?
Jim: Yes.
Tony: Anything else about the table manners?
Jim: Er…sometimes Chinese people will use their own chopsticks to put food in your bowl to show their politeness. Don't refuse(拒绝)it.
Tony:
Jim: Just say "thank you" and leave the food there.
Tony:
Jim: Put them on the table or on your bowl. It's impolite.
Tony: I got it. Thank you.
