supper與dinner區(qū)別

dinner 指一天中的正餐(main meal)，即晚餐。是比較正式的晚宴或晚飯的意思。提到“正餐”，之前國(guó)內(nèi)很多人認(rèn)為dinner指午餐，supper指晚餐，其實(shí)是不準(zhǔn)確且過時(shí)的。

supper 指晚餐而非正餐，一般指臨睡前吃的“夜宵”，餐量少且非正式。在蘇格蘭地區(qū)，supper指普通百姓比較簡(jiǎn)單、比較晚的一餐。此外，supper還固定用來指圣經(jīng)中耶穌受難前的最后一次晚餐——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餡餅作晚餐。

2. The remains of the supper were taken 

    away.

    晚餐吃剩的東西被收去了。

3. It is now his turn to set me up to a nice 

    dinner.

    現(xiàn)在輪到他請(qǐng)我吃一頓豐盛的晚餐了。

4. Because my husband has gone to a 

    stag dinner, I have to stay at home alone.

    因?yàn)槲艺煞蛉⒓右粋€(gè)只許男人參加的

    宴會(huì)，我只好獨(dú)自待在家里。

dinner和supper常見的錯(cuò)誤用法

1. dinner

我們邀請(qǐng)他來吃飯好嗎?

錯(cuò)誤 Shall we ask him to the dinner?

正確 Shall we ask him to dinner?

分析：to dinner是固定用法,不能加定冠詞the。像這樣的短語還有at dinner, before dinner, after dinner等。

2. supper

昨天我吃了一頓很棒的晚飯。

錯(cuò)誤 I had wonderful supper yesterday.

正確 I had a wonderful supper yesterday.

分析：supper作“晚飯”解泛指一頓飯的名稱時(shí),前面通常不加冠詞; 但當(dāng)有定語修飾時(shí),前面通常加不定冠詞a。

綜上所述：

supper 專指晚飯（簡(jiǎn)餐）、晚餐會(huì)，也可以指宵夜

dinner 指正餐，多用于晚餐（較正式），宴會(huì)、主餐、筵席、款待等。
