<< review queue entry 41634 - submitted by 'alanwatson' >> Came across this in a hotel on a short holiday. Lots of g hits. MoE gives 夜間的點心, but Jukuu also has the 'supper' translation which was the context in which I saw it: Gayle： Well a little light supper wouldn't do us any harm? 盖尔：嗯，吃一点消夜，不会有甚麽害处吧？ PS. I would be inclined to write night-time as UK English dictionaries seem to have but as we are being American I have followed Webster which does not have the hyphen. Editor: ok, Wp also says "[...] 常將晚餐時間押後至深夜，故消夜的菜色或份量，有時已跟晚餐無分別 [...]", so I think it's ok to call it "late-night supper", too. (http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B6%88%E5%A4%9C) |
