周末爱睡懒觉的伙伴们多半都不会像平时一样按点吃三顿饭，而是把三顿合成两顿，在三顿饭之间的时间解决。上午时段的早午餐(brunch)我们已经很熟悉了，那么下午时段的午晚餐或晚午餐，你知道该怎么说吗?
Dunch refers to a meal enjoyed subsequent to lunch but prior to dinner, just like "brunch" is typically the meal between breakfast and lunch.
Dunch指在午餐之后、晚餐之前吃的饭，跟早餐和午餐之间的早午餐(brunch)类似。
Dunch should be distinguished from linner, another meal occurring in the post-lunch, pre-dinner interval, in that dunch occurs after linner, closer to dinner time.
不过，dunch要跟linner区分开来。二者均表示在午餐之后、晚餐之前吃的饭，不过，dunch的时间要比linner靠后，离晚餐时段更近一些。
Thus, the socially accepted norm with regard to afternoon eating agendas comprises the following progression of meals: Lunch --> Linner --> Dunch --> Dinner.
由此，社交场合中在下午进行的各类进餐次序应该是这样的：午餐(lunch)-->晚午餐(linner)-->午晚餐(dunch)-->晚餐(dinner)。
今天的雅思留洋词汇通，你掌握了吗?
