chopsticks英语单词趣味记忆(纠正中式英语Publicchopsticks)(1)

No Chinglish Allowed

话题~:Public chopsticks?

“Public chopsticks??” , is it translated to Chinese like "公筷??"

Nope! Reading the following infos you may find out.


我们知道“public"是公共的意思,可以说 ”public toilet"、 " public occation" ,但是不能说 “public chopsticks".

公筷,顾名思义有着提供服务给客人的含义,那么接近服务的英文单词有:Serve

So, for the native English speaker, they usually would say "serving chopsticks".

For instance: It's very common for Chinese people to pick up food with serving chopsticks for their guests to show their hopitality.

--中国人们使用公筷为客人夹菜是很正常的,主要体现他们热心招待。


相比于 “公筷”,我们还有 “一次性筷子”,英语怎么表达呢?

Disposable Chopsticks or Throwaway Chopsticks.
