The best way to express "转动餐桌" in English depends on what you're referring to. In this case, you're likely talking about a Lazy Susan (the rotating tray in the center of a table).
Corrected Sentence:
"We’d better not rotate the Lazy Susan when others are picking up food."
Tips:
1. Use "Lazy Susan"
- In English, "Lazy Susan" is the most common term for the rotating tray on a dining table. "Turntable" is more commonly used for audio equipment or machinery.
2. Use "when others are picking up food" instead of "when others pick up food"
- The continuous tense ("are picking up") sounds more natural because it emphasizes that the action is happening at the moment.
