Q: 为什么喝酒时要碰杯？

A: It used to be common for someone to try to kill an enemy by offering him a poisoned drink．To prove to a guest that a drink was safe，it became customary for a guest to pour a small amount of his drink into the glass of the host．Both men would drink it simultaneously ．When a guest trusted his host，he would then just touch or clink the host's glass with his own.

A： 过去常常有人认为在酒杯里放毒来谋杀敌人，为了证实酒是安全的，宾客会把杯中一部分酒倒进主人杯中，然后主宾同时喝下去以证明无毒，已成为一种习俗当宾客信任主人时，两人就只是碰一下杯子。
