另類“下午茶”的英文說(shuō)法
周末或放假的時(shí)候,很多人都會(huì)把早餐和午餐合在一起吃,于是就有了brunch這個(gè)詞。如今,喜歡在下午活動(dòng)的人們又創(chuàng)造了兩個(gè)詞linner和dunch,告訴我們“下午茶”原來(lái)還可以這么說(shuō)。Linner or dunch refers to a small meal between lunch and dinner in the late afternoon or early evening (about 3-5 p.m。), usually including tea or coffee with cookies, sometimes fruits, a salad or a light sandwich. These two words are both a blend of lunch and dinner, probably in imitation of brunch。
“午晚餐/下午茶”(linner或dunch)指在午餐后、晚餐前的時(shí)間享用的餐點(diǎn),一般在下午三點(diǎn)到五點(diǎn)之間,餐點(diǎn)通常包括茶或咖啡配甜餅,有時(shí)配有水果、沙拉或者一份清淡口味的三明治。Linner和dunch這兩個(gè)單詞都是lunch(午餐)和dinner(晚餐)兩個(gè)詞的不同組合形式,大概與brunch的構(gòu)成形式類似(為breakfast和lunch的合成形式)。
For example:
I forgot to eat lunch, so I had linner。
我忘記吃午飯了,所以來(lái)了點(diǎn)兒下午茶。
