supper与dinner区别
dinner 指一天中的正餐(main meal),即晚餐。是比较正式的晚宴或晚饭的意思。提到“正餐”,之前国内很多人认为dinner指午餐,supper指晚餐,其实是不准确且过时的。
supper 指晚餐而非正餐,一般指临睡前吃的“夜宵”,餐量少且非正式。在苏格兰地区,supper指普通百姓比较简单、比较晚的一餐。此外,supper还固定用来指圣经中耶稣受难前的最后一次晚餐——Lord's supper, the last supper.
例句:
1. His wife made some pumpkin pies
for supper.
他妻子做了一些南瓜馅饼作晚餐。
2. The remains of the supper were taken
away.
晚餐吃剩的东西被收去了。
3. It is now his turn to set me up to a nice
dinner.
现在轮到他请我吃一顿丰盛的晚餐了。
4. Because my husband has gone to a
stag dinner, I have to stay at home alone.
因为我丈夫去参加一个只许男人参加的
宴会,我只好独自待在家里。
dinner和supper常见的错误用法
1. dinner
我们邀请他来吃饭好吗?
错误 Shall we ask him to the dinner?
正确 Shall we ask him to dinner?
分析:to dinner是固定用法,不能加定冠词the。像这样的短语还有at dinner, before dinner, after dinner等。
2. supper
昨天我吃了一顿很棒的晚饭。
错误 I had wonderful supper yesterday.
正确 I had a wonderful supper yesterday.
分析:supper作“晚饭”解泛指一顿饭的名称时,前面通常不加冠词; 但当有定语修饰时,前面通常加不定冠词a。
综上所述:
supper 专指晚饭(简餐)、晚餐会,也可以指宵夜
dinner 指正餐,多用于晚餐(较正式),宴会、主餐、筵席、款待等。
