“輕宵夜”英語怎么說
名詞解釋:經(jīng)常加班的人們都喜歡在完成工作以后結(jié)伴去吃宵夜,這種時候吃的通常都不會是正餐類的食物,而是小吃、點心之類的餐食。你知道怎么用英語表達(dá)嗎?
Brinner is a fusion of breakfast and dinner. It's the idea of eating breakfast foods when you finish a day's work in the wee hours of night.
Since it's too late to enjoy a full meal before bed, night munchies are served. This usually consists of foods traditionally eaten at breakfast such as eggs, pancakes, waffles and cereal.
Brinner是早餐和晚餐的結(jié)合體,指在凌晨結(jié)束一天的工作之后,吃一些早餐類食物,即“輕宵夜”。
因為在凌晨享受一頓豐盛的正餐有點太晚,所以一般會吃點宵夜,通常來說,吃的都是早餐常吃的東西,比如雞蛋,薄餅,華夫餅還有麥片之類的。
【講解】
文中的brinner就是“輕宵夜”的意思,是breakfast和dinner的合成詞,類似的還有brunch(早午餐),食物品種豐富,其中不乏鮮榨果汁(fresh juice),麥片(cereal),吐司(toast),甜點(desserts)。
第一段中的wee hours指的是凌晨時分,如:He often stays up late till the wee hours.(他常常到凌晨才睡覺。),凌晨還可以表示為the small hours,before dawn,如:九月十五日凌晨 in the small hours of September 15
