一、不用冠词的场合在通常情况下,表示一日三餐的
breakfast,
lunch,
supper前不用冠词。如:
Breakfast is served until 9
am. 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?
Have you finished supper already?
It’
s only 5
o’
clock! 你已经吃过晚饭了? 现在才5点钟啊!
A snack in the afternoon bridges the gap between lunch and supper. 在午餐和晚餐之间,下午吃些点心补充一下。
Mother said lunch was ready and there was a mad dash for the table. 母亲说午饭做好了, 大家一下子都向饭桌奔去。
注:不连用冠词的用法尤其注意以下搭配:
have breakfast (
lunch,
supper),
after breakfast (
lunch,
supper),
at breakfast (
lunch,
supper),
before breakfast (
lunch,
supper),
during breakfast (
lunch,
supper),
for breakfast (
lunch,
supper),
over breakfast (
lunch,
supper),
since breakfast (
lunch,
supper),
without breakfast (
lunch,
supper)。如:
They were having breakfast when I arrived. 我到达时,他们正在用早餐。
We got off immediately after breakfast. 我们吃完早餐就动身了。
Please make your beds before breakfast. 请在早饭前把床铺好。
It happened at [
during]
lunch. 此事发生在吃午饭的时候。
I nearly always go home for lunch. 我差不多总是回家吃午饭。

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。
二、用定冠词的场合虽然在通常情况下,“三餐饭”前不用冠词,但是若要特指某一顿早餐、中餐或晚餐,则可在其前加定冠词。如:
The supper is well cooked. 晚饭做得很好。
Thank you for the breakfast. 谢谢你的这顿早餐。(

注:表特指时,除可用定冠词修饰外,有时可用指示代词或物主代词等的修饰。如:
After that breakfast,
I never saw her again. 吃了那顿早餐后,我就再没有看到过她。
Why don’
t you go for a walk?
It’
ll give you an appetite for your lunch. 你怎么不出去散散步? 散散步午饭时就有食欲了。

三、用不定冠词的场合若
breakfast,
lunch,
supper受到描绘性定语的修饰,则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。
We had a very late lunch. 我们很晚才吃午饭。
That was quite a decent lunch. 那顿午餐相当不错。
He takes a packed lunch to work. 他带(盒装)午饭上班。(

I’
ve got out of the habit of having a cooked breakfast. 我已不再保持早餐吃热食的习惯。
We had a quick lunch and finished up with a cup of coffee. 我们匆忙吃了午饭,最后又喝了一杯咖啡。
【知识拓展】1. 有时可以有自己的修饰语:此时通常是指所吃的东西。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。
Take her some breakfast on a tray. 用托盘给她送些早点。
注:有时也可不直接用
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。(

2. 有时可以用复数形式:此时通常是指不同种类或不同人所用的早餐、中餐或晚餐。如:
We serve hot and cold lunches. 我处供应冷热午餐。
Does this pub provide lunches? 这家酒馆供应午餐吗?
