段子：

　　麦当劳不仅把中国人带进一种新的餐饮方式，还使他们接受一种新的行为举止。这些行为举止表明，他们在接受麦当劳快餐的同时，也逐步接受伴随而来的外国餐桌行为文化。这种餐桌行为文化简洁地依靠一股温暖的纯黄便体现出来，这使中国人对这种外来饮食模式空前认同。于是，试图将中餐与麦当劳分店形式结合起来的尝试出现了，我们也在各大城市里看到了各种中餐连锁店。它们的色调是橙色的，正如红加上黄。专家们研究表明，橙色是最能勾起食欲的颜色。无怪乎中西合璧之后的餐饮行当，无不是取调于这二者的均衡。

　　Besides brought about a new way of dining to Chinese people， MacDonald's introduced a brand new manner to them. That is， MacDonald's gives us not only a new fast food， but a new culture of eating foreign to us before. That culture， embodied in the simple solid maize， won an unprecedented success among Chinese consumers. And then， we find in many big cities all kinds of cross-bred Chinese fast food chains， an effort to combine the way in running a Chinese restaurant with that of the MacDonald's chains. The Chinese food chains chose the yellow color， a combination of red with maize. According to experts， the yellow color is the most effective color to evoke appetite. It is no wonder that nearly all the joint ventures catering industries chose the color between the red color and the maize one.
