In Britain it may also depend on which part of the country or which social class a person comes from. A meal eaten in the middle of the day is usually called lunch. If it is the main meal of the day it may also be called dinner in British English, especially in the north of the country. A main meal eaten in the evening is usually called dinner, especially if it is a formal meal. Supper is also an evening meal, but more informal than dinner and usually eaten at home. It can also be a late meal or something to eat and drink before going to bed. In British English tea is a light meal in the afternoon with sandwiches, cake and a cup of tea. It can also be a main meal eaten early in the evening, especially by children. * dinner、lunch、tea和supper在不同的英语国家用法不尽相同，在英国的不同地区和社会阶层用法也不尽相同。中午吃的那一餐通常叫lunch；如果这一餐是一天中的正餐，英式英语中也可称作dinner，尤其是在英国北部地区。傍晚吃的正餐通常叫dinner，尤指正式宴会。supper也是晚餐，但不如dinner正式，而且通常在家里吃，有时也可指夜宵。在英式英语中，tea指下午茶，边喝茶边吃三明治和蛋糕；也可指傍晚时的正餐，尤其是孩子们的正餐。■ luncheon / /ˈlʌntʃən/ / [countable, uncountable] (formal) a formal lunch or a formal word for lunch （正式用语）午餐，午宴◆They organized a charity luncheon.他们筹办了一场慈善午宴。◆Luncheon will be served at one, Madam.夫人，午餐将在1点钟开始。 dine verb ➡ See also the entry for ⇨ eat 另见eat条dine ♦︎ eat ♦︎ lunch ♦︎ feast ♦︎ snack ♦︎ breakfastThese words all mean to eat food at a meal. 这些词均表示吃饭、用餐。PATTERNS AND COLLOCATIONS 句型和搭配◆to dine / eat / lunch / breakfast at a place◆to dine / lunch / feast / snack / breakfast on a particular food◆to dine / eat / lunch / breakfast with sb◆to dine / eat out◆to dine / eat / breakfast early / late◆to dine / eat well■ dine [intransitive, transitive] (formal) to have dinner, especially at a restaurant or formal dinner party （尤指在餐馆或正式宴会上）进餐，用饭◆The guests dined on lobster.宾客正餐吃的是龙虾。◆He dined out every night (= had dinner in a restaurant or in sb else's home).他每晚都外出用餐。◆His boss took him out to be wined and dined (= given expensive meals in a restaurant).老板带他去饭馆大吃大喝。ⓘ Dine, lunch and breakfast are formal verbs; in less formal contexts it is more usual to say have dinner/lunch/breakfast. * dine、lunch和breakfast作为动词是很正式的用法，在不那么正式的情况下更常说have dinner/lunch/breakfast（吃正餐／午餐／早餐）。■ eat (ate, eaten) [intransitive] to have a meal 吃饭；用餐◆We ate at a pizzeria in town.我们在城里一家比萨饼餐厅用餐。◆I can't be bothered to cook.
