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、晚餐之前吃的飯,跟早餐和午餐之間的早午餐(brunch)類似。
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.
不過,dunch要跟linner區(qū)分開來。二者均表示在午餐之后、晚餐之前吃的飯,不過,dunch的時間要比linner靠后,離晚餐時段更近一些。
Thus, the socially accepted norm with regard to afternoon eating agendas comprises the following progression of meals: Lunch --> Linner --> Dunch --> Dinner.
由此,社交場合中在下午進行的各類進餐次序應該是這樣的:午餐(lunch)-->晚午餐(linner)-->午晚餐(dunch)-->晚餐(dinner)。
