Linner or dunchrefers 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、晚餐前的时间享用的餐点,一般在下午三点到五点之间,餐点通常包括茶或咖啡配甜饼,有时配有水果、沙拉或者一份清淡口味的三明治。Linner和dunch这两个单词都是lunch(午餐)和dinner(晚餐)两个词的不同组合形式,大概与brunch的构成形式类似(为breakfast和lunch的合成形式)。
For example:
I forgot to eat lunch, so I had linner.
我忘记吃午饭了,所以来了点儿下午茶。
