"Fingers were made before forks." When a person gives up good manners, puts aside knife and fork, and dives into his food, someone is likely to repeat that saying.
The fork was an ancient agricultural tool, but for centuries no one thought of eating with it. Not until the eleventh century, when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy, did the custom reach Europe.
By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was wide spread in Italy. The English explanation was that Italians were against eating food touched with fingers. "Seeing all men’s fingers are not alike clean." English travelers kept their friends laughing while describing this ridiculous Italian custom.
Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years. Men who used forks were thought to be sissies (女人气的男子) and women who used them were called show-offs (爱卖弄的人) and overnice (过分讲究). Not until the late 1600’s did using a fork become a common custom.
选项
A、brought to Europe from Constantinople
B、thought of by the Italians
C、brought to Europe from America
D、begun when forks were first invented
答案
A
解析
此题题干问“用餐叉吃饭的习俗源于何处”。在原文第2段第2句话指出一个来自君士坦丁堡的年轻妇女把她的餐叉带到了意大利,用餐叉吃饭的习俗被传到了欧洲。因此选项A. brought to Europe form Constantinople是正确答案。
