Ⅶ. Translation from English into Chinese（15 points）
将下列短文译成汉语。
Quantity is equally important at a Chinese table. Chinese tend to order (and in their own homes, prepare ) much, much more food than the number of people attending can reasonably be expected to eat. When there is a lot of food left over at the end of the meal, the host can be assured that she had ordered a sufficient quantity. Of course, over the years, this practice has resulted in an incalculable amount of wasted food (though, thankfully, the trend in recent years seems to be toward taking food home). But the persistence of this emphasis on quantity tells the continued importance of considerations of face.
中国人的餐桌上数量是同样重要的。中国人要点（在家时则是准备）比来人预计能吃的量多得多的饭菜。在吃到最后有很多饭菜剩下来，主人才能肯定点够了。当然，在过去的很多年中，这种做法导致了难以计算的食品浪费（然而，所幸的是，最近几年的趋势朝着吃不了兜着走发展），但是，这种强调数量表明了考虑面子的持久的重要性。
