Question

在用餐前或用餐过程当中，将筷子长短不齐的放在桌子上。这种做法是大不吉利的，通常我们管它叫“三长两短”。其意思是代表“死亡”。因为中国人过去认为人死以后是要装进棺材的，在人装进去以后，还没有盖棺材盖的时候，棺材的组成部分是前后两块短木板，两旁加底部共三块长木板，五块木板合在一起做成的棺材正好是三长两短，所以说这是极为不吉利的事情。

这一点往往不被人们所注意，在用餐时将筷子随便交叉放在桌上。这是不对的，为北京人认为在饭桌上打叉子，是对同桌其他人的全部否定，就如同学生写错作业，被老师在本上打叉子的性质一样，不能被他人接受。除此以外，这种做法也是对自己的不尊敬，因为过去吃官司画供时才打叉子，这也就无疑是在否定自己，这也是不行的。

Answer 1

Before or during a meal, it is usually considered bad luck to rest the chopsticks unevenly in length on the table. Usually we call it "three longs and two shorts", an idiom in Chinese that implies "death". The origin of this idiom comes from the traditional Chinese belief that the dead ought to be buried in coffins. After the body is placed inside and before the lid is secured, the coffin bed is made up of five planks, two small planks of the front and back sides and three long planks of the remaining two sides and the bottom of the coffin. When these five planks are put together into a coffin, exactly two of them are short and three are long, hence the meaning of bad luck.

A subtle etiquette easily overlooked by people is to carelessly cross the chopsticks on the table. This is also considered improper. Bejingness consider crossed chopsticks on the table a sign of objection to the rest of guests around the table, just as the cross a teacher marks on a student's homework where the student put down the wrong answer, and cannot be tolerated. In addition, this gesture also shows disrespect to the person himself, because in ancient times when a person was convicted of a crime, court officials would draw a cross over his portrait. Crossing the chopsticks no doubt implies self denial and is not accepted as proper table etiquette.

画供比较难翻译，直接翻译后的意思是在过去吃官司时长官要在罪人的画像上打叉子。

附注：table etiquette：餐桌礼仪。即交叉筷子是不被接受的餐桌礼仪。

Answer 2

Dine before or dining in the process, will be missing the length of the chopsticks on the table. This approach is great unlucky, and usually we call it "sitting in waiting." On behalf of its meaning "death." Because the Chinese people died in the past that the future is to be put into the coffin, and in people pretending to go after the coffin lid has not covered when an integral part of the coffin before and after two short planks, on both sides of the bottom of a total of three long planks , five coffins made of wood together is just sitting in waiting, so that it is extremely unlucky things.

This is often not the people's attention, in the meal will easily cross chopsticks on the table. This is wrong, for Beijingers think that playing a fork at the dinner table is a negation of all other people the same table, just as the students work gets it wrong, his teacher played this on the fork of the same nature, can not be to accept. In addition, this approach is also disrespectful of their own, because in the past when playing for the legal action, painting a fork, which also is no doubt in denial themselves, this is not work.

Answer 3

Front or have a meal in having a meal that readjusting oneself to a certain extent of chopsticks not of uniform length is mounted in process the middle, in the table. This method of work is greatly no auspicious , we call it "sth. unfortunate , esp. death" generally. That the person shows appreciation is that the representative "dies". The coffin ingredient is front and back two pieces of short plank , both sides adds together three pieces of the long plank of bottom , five pieces of plank congregate together because of Chinese thought that person dies is to need to put a coffin's in hereafter in the past, after person pretends to go in, when not covering up with coffin cover, succeed in making up the coffin happens to be sth. unfortunate , esp. death, therefore criticizing this is an extremely no auspicious thing. This is not paid attention to by people to some extent sometimes , alternates when having a meal causually with chopsticks to readjust oneself to a certain extent on the table. This is incorrect , is that Pekinese think of strikes a fork on the dining table , is that people's all deny other to same table , alternate school assignment right away like that the student writes, the character the fork is stricken by the teacher on is the same , can not be accepted by others. Furthermore, this method of work is also to revere self block of wood , strike a fork because of the past is sued when signing a written confession to a crime by the accused, this is also.

Before or during the dine, it is very inauspicious to set your chopsticks irregular on the table. It usually be called "a bad luck"(sticks with 3 long and 2 short),which means "death". Because Chinese used to think that the dead must be put into the coffin. Before the cover of it is placed, the coffin was consisted by 2 short boards in the front and back and 3 long boards on the bottom and both sides. The coffin made of 5 boards is just the 3 long and 2 short. So that is regarded as an inausipiciousness. 还有一段待会儿再翻
