The concept of the day was that the children had been invited by a handsome prince or beautiful princess for lunch at the royal palace.

课程的内容是权贵子女由一个英俊的王子或美丽的公主邀请至皇家宫殿进行午餐。

However, they had to behave in a perfect way in order to be invited back next time.

如果想要再次受邀，他们必须在该次课程中完美表现。

The day's programme started with a make-up session and photoshoot before the youngsters learned about table manners at lunch and British afternoon tea etiquette. 

课程开始部分是先学习妆容，然后是拍照，再是学习餐桌礼仪，最后是下午茶礼仪。

Pity the mothers didn't learn the etiquette of when it is appropriate to take photographs (including selfies).

可惜，妈妈们没有学到合适的拍照礼仪（包括自拍）。

One boy and nine girls and no fathers in attendance. I guess etiquette is not cool for Chinese males.

一男九女，没有父亲参与，我猜想中国男人对这礼仪课程不感兴趣。

This used to be taught in British schools, when school dinners were the norm .

这些礼仪课程过去曾在英国的学校有教，那时学校的正餐还非常正式。

Great. Table manners sadly very lacking, today. These children will learn it is a 'no, no' , slurping food, sucking drinks & shoveling food into the mouth. 

很不错！
现在餐桌礼仪非常缺乏，这很可悲。
这些孩子会学会对大声咀嚼食物，咕咚咚喝饮料，大口往嘴里扒食物恶习说不

The kid with the cap on at the table, should get a refund.

坐在餐桌旁戴帽子的那个小子应该重教！

One bit of etiquette I would like to learn is how to eat British food without throwing up. e.g. eels, brains, kidneys.

我想学习一点小礼仪，那就是在吃英国食物时如何不呕吐，比如鳗鱼，脑髓和肾脏。

这种修道院式的饮茶礼仪早就过时了，现在是油炸食品盒的鸡块和薯条、能量饮料和甜甜圈...这些中国佬被无用的课程误导了。

Perhaps the government would like to extend these lessons to British schoolchildren, I think they are more in need of lessons in manners and etiquette!

也许政府应该把这些课程也扩展到英国学生们的身上。我认为他们才更需要礼仪课。

Scottie-Dog -> Cat
UK children learn to read and write from early primary school. Children unable to master these fundamental skills will be leaving school in 2016! What chance do you think there is that some soft-skill like etiquette and manners will have a higher rate of success?

英国的孩子在小学早期学习读写，不能掌握这些基本技能的孩子在2016离开学校步入社会！
为什么你们会认为掌握软技能如礼仪会有更高的成功率的？

Philip Morris
This "expert" apparently was absent when the "only ladies wear hats indoors" course was taught.

在教授《只有女士在室内才戴帽子》这堂课时，这个“专家”显然心不在焉的样子。
