1. 在通常情况下,表示一日三餐的 breakfast, lunch, supper前不用冠词。如:

Breakfast is served until 9 a.m. 早餐一直供应到上午9点。

Can you manage lunch on Tuesday? 你星期二能来吃午饭吗?

与介词after, at, before, for, over, since, without等搭配时,通常也不用冠词。如:

I often nod off for a little while after lunch. 我在午饭后常睡一小觉。

At breakfast this morning he said that he would be very busy today. 今天早餐时,他说他今天会很忙。

Please make your beds before breakfast. 请在早饭前把床铺好。

I nearly always go home for lunch. 我差不多总是回家吃午饭。

She scanned the newspaper over breakfast. 她吃着早饭把报纸大略看了一遍。

I haven’t eaten since breakfast. 我吃了早饭后到现在还什么都没吃呢。

I had to go without breakfast this morning as I was in a hurry. 我今早很匆忙,只好不吃早饭了。

有时介词at与介词during意思相同。如:

It happened at [during] lunch. 此事发生在吃午饭的时候。

2. 若是特指某一顿早、中、晚餐,则可在其前加定冠词或甚至其他限定词。如:

Thank you for the breakfast. 谢谢你的这顿早餐。

Let’s get the supper ready. 咱们把晚饭准备好。

After that breakfast, I never saw her again. 吃了那顿早餐后,我就再没有看到过她。

3. 若受到描绘性定语的修饰且表示非特指,其前通常要用不定冠词。如:

We had a working lunch. 我们吃了一顿工作午餐。

I only want a small supper. 晚饭我只想吃一点东西。

He takes a packed lunch to work every day. 他每天带(盒装)午饭上班。

After a quick breakfast, he hurried to the station. 匆匆忙忙吃完早餐,他就赶到车站去了。

The walk is expected to last all day so bring a packed lunch. 预计要走一天,所以要带份准备好的午饭。

We were well primed for the journey with a large breakfast. 为了去旅行,我们早餐都吃得饱饱的。

4. 表示一日三餐的名词通常是不可数的,所以当要表示一日三餐具体的“量”时,可用some, much, little等修饰。如:

She doesn’t eat much breakfast. 她早点吃得不多。

She always eats very little supper. 她晚饭总是吃得很少。

We made ourselves some breakfast. 我们自己做了点早饭。

当然,也可不直接用 much, little 等修饰,而换用其他表达。如:

She never eats much for breakfast. 她早点从不多吃。

5. 虽然表示一日三餐的名词不可数,但有时为了强调不同种类的饭餐或不同人食用的饭餐时,也可使用复数形式。如:

Does this pub provide lunches? 这家酒馆供应午餐吗?

Free school lunches are given to children who qualify. 符合条件的儿童可享受免费的午餐。

如果受到these, those等的修饰,自然也要用复数。如:

I’m used to wine with my meals, so I find these lunches rather unsatisfying. 我习惯于吃饭时喝葡萄酒,因此我觉得这些午饭相当不令人满意。

6. 表示“吃”早餐、中餐或晚餐,英语通常用 have。如:

They were having breakfast when I arrived. 我到达时,他们正在用早餐。

He suggested that we have lunch at the hotel. 他提议我们在宾馆吃午饭。

其实也可用 take 或eat(只是相对来说较少见而已)。如:

Won’t you stay and take lunch with us? 留在这儿吃午饭好吗?

We hardly had time to eat breakfast. 我们简直没有时间吃早饭。

根据情况可搭配其他动词。如:

Who is making [getting] breakfast? 谁在做早饭?

She ordered lunch for 1.30. 她定了午餐, 在1时30分开饭。

They provided breakfast as well as dinner. 他们提供早饭和晚饭。

Four waiters served us lunch. 有四个服务员招待我们吃午饭。

7. 表示一日三餐的名词有时可用于另一名词前作定语。如:

Orange juice is a popular breakfast drink. 橙汁是受欢迎的早餐饮料。

Americans love breakfast cereals in the form of flakes. 美国人喜欢薄片状的谷类早餐食品。

She included some chocolate in each child’s lunch bag. 她在每个孩子的午餐包里加了一些巧克力。
