“轻宵夜”英语怎么说
名词解释:经常加班的人们都喜欢在完成工作以后结伴去吃宵夜,这种时候吃的通常都不会是正餐类的食物,而是小吃、点心之类的餐食。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?
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是早餐和晚餐的结合体,指在凌晨结束一天的工作之后,吃一些早餐类食物,即“轻宵夜”。
因为在凌晨享受一顿丰盛的正餐有点太晚,所以一般会吃点宵夜,通常来说,吃的都是早餐常吃的东西,比如鸡蛋,薄饼,华夫饼还有麦片之类的。
【讲解】
文中的brinner就是“轻宵夜”的意思,是breakfast和dinner的合成词,类似的还有brunch(早午餐),食物品种丰富,其中不乏鲜榨果汁(fresh juice),麦片(cereal),吐司(toast),甜点(desserts)。
第一段中的wee hours指的是凌晨时分,如:He often stays up late till the wee hours.(他常常到凌晨才睡觉。),凌晨还可以表示为the small hours,before dawn,如:九月十五日凌晨 in the small hours of September 15
