单词 | 主餐 |
释义 | 〔dinner〕Eating foods such as pizza and ice cream for breakfastmay be justified by the fact that in Middle Englishdinner meant "breakfast,” as did the Old French worddisner, or diner, which was the source of our word. The Old French word came from the Vulgar Latin word.disiūnāre, meaning "to break one's fast;that is, to eat one's first meal,” a notion also contained in our wordbreakfast. The Vulgar Latin word was derived from an earlier word,.disiēiūnāre, the Latin elements of which aredis-, denoting reversal, and iēiūnium, "fast.” Middle Englishdiner not only meant "breakfast" but, echoing usage of the Old French worddiner, more commonly meant "the first big meal of the day, usually eaten between 9a.m. and noon.” Customs change, however,and over the yearswe have let the chief meal become the last meal of the day,by which timewe have broken our fast more than once.早餐吃些如比萨饼及冰淇淋的食物,既可以被中古英语dinner 表示早餐的事实所证实, 也可被该词的词源——古法语词disner 或 diner 证实。 该法语单词出自于通俗拉丁语单词disiunare , 其意思是“打破禁食后吃的第一餐饭”,同时也含有breakfast 的概念。 通俗拉丁字出自于更早的字disieiunare , 其拉丁文构成部分是dis- 表示反面和 ieiunium “禁食”。 中古英语diner 不仅指“早饭”, 还模仿了古法语diner 的用法, 一般指“一天中的第一次大餐,常常在上午 9点到中午之间吃”。 然而习惯改变了,许多年以来,我们常常把一天中的最后一顿饭当作主餐,从那时起,我们已不止一次地打破了禁食〔dinnerware〕The plates, serving bowls, platters, and other tableware used in serving a meal.正餐餐具:用于主餐的盘子、碗、托盘及其它餐具 |
