应邀到中国朋友家作客，要求准时到达，提前几分钟也是适宜的，迟到是失礼的。中国人请客吃饭，一般情况是重吃不重谈。中国人认为酒菜不丰盛是不尊重客人。麦克应邀到他的中国同事王丽家作客。
If invited, a guest must arrive at a Chinese friend's home on time. It is proper to be there a couple of minutes earlier, as being late is rude. Generally speaking, eating is more important than talking at a dining table for Chinese people think scant wine and dishes are impolite to guests. Mike is invited to her colleague Wang Li's home.
