Linner or dunch refers to a small meal between lunch and dinner in the late afternoon or early evening (about 3-5 p.m.), usually including tea or coffee with cookies, sometimes fruits, a salad or a light sandwich. These two words are both a blend of lunch and dinner, probably in imitation of brunch.
“午晚餐/下午茶”(linner或dunch)指在午餐后、晚餐前的時間享用的餐點(diǎn),一般在下午三點(diǎn)到五點(diǎn)之間,餐點(diǎn)通常包括茶或咖啡配甜餅,有時配有水果、沙拉或者一份清淡口味的三明治。Linner和dunch這兩個單詞都是lunch(午餐)和dinner(晚餐)兩個詞的不同組合形式,大概與brunch的構(gòu)成形式類似(為breakfast和lunch的合成形式)。
For example:
I forgot to eat lunch, so I had linner.
我忘記吃午飯了,所以來了點(diǎn)兒下午茶。
