The first meal of the day is called breakfast. The most common word for the midday meal is lunch, but in some parts of Britain, and in some contexts, dinner is used as well. He seldom has lunch at all. ...school dinners. ...Christmas dinner. However, dinner is used mainly to refer to a meal in the evening. ...a celebratory dinner in the evening. In British English, it may also suggest a formal or special meal. Supper and tea are sometimes also used to refer to the evening meal, though for some people, supper is a snack in the late evening and tea is a light meal in the afternoon.
一天中的第一餐稱作 breakfast。表示午餐最常用的詞是 lunch,但英國有些地方在一些語境中也用 dinner:He seldom has lunch at all (他很少吃午餐),school dinners (學校的午餐),Christmas dinner (聖誕午餐)。不過 dinner 主要是指晚餐:a celebratory dinner in the evening (慶祝晚宴)。在英國英語中,dinner 也可以指正餐或特别的一餐。supper 與 tea 有時也指晚餐,不過對於有些人來說,supper 指夜宵,而 tea 則指下午茶。
