使用筷子是中国文化的产物。中国是个农业大国，食物多以蔬菜为主，用筷子适宜取食。中国文化推崇集体主义（ collectivism），崇尚融合，体现在吃饭的方式上就是使用筷子。中国人实行合餐制（ communal meals），用餐的人在同一个盘子中取食，用筷子可以限制个别人大量取食。因此筷子的使用既保留了集体主义的形态，又限制了个人主义的膨胀。
参考译文：
The using of chopsticks is the product of the Chinese culture. China is an agricultural country and the Chinese mainly rely on vegetables for food. Chopsticks are very convenient tools for eating,Chinese lture advocates collectivism and stresses harmony. In terms of eating customs, using chopsticks is the expression of this kind of culture. The Chinese like to have communal meals where everybody eats food out of the same plate. Chopsticks are used in order to discourage people from eating much more than others. Therefore, the using of chopsticks has not only preserved collectivism, but also limited the swell of inpidualism.
