Cultural Background

中文

在中国，添饭是一种常见的礼仪，通常表示对食物的喜爱和对主人的尊重。在非正式场合，可以直接向服务员说“添饭”或“再来一碗”；在正式场合，可以使用更委婉的表达，例如“请问可以添饭吗？”。

在家里，长辈通常会主动为晚辈添饭，晚辈则应该表示感谢。

English

In China, asking for more rice is a common courtesy, usually signifying appreciation for the food and respect for the host. In informal settings, you can simply say “添饭 (tiān fàn)” or “再来一碗 (zài lái yī wǎn)”. In formal settings, a more polite expression such as “请问可以添饭吗？ (qǐng wèn kě yǐ tiān fàn ma?)” is preferred.

In families, elders usually offer younger generations more food, and the younger generations should express their gratitude.

English

The applicability of rice replenishment etiquette varies depending on the occasion and relationship; it's usually more common in family or informal settings. Younger children may have elders help them with replenishment. Common mistakes include: making loud noises, disregarding others' feelings, wasting food.
