1. 1nA2/dɪˈzɜːrt/ · /dɪˈzɜːt/甜點

    sweet food that you eat after the main part of a meal

    示範例句 · Example

    What are we having for dessert tonight?

    逐字我們今晚要有什麼當甜點?

    「dessert」是正餐吃完後的那一道甜食——冰淇淋、蛋糕、水果、布丁都算。常見說法是 have something for dessert(某樣東西當飯後甜點)。它跟 starter / appetizer(開胃菜)和 main course(主菜)排在同一條用餐順序裡:先開胃、再主菜,最後才是 dessert。英國口語有時說 pudding 或 sweet,意思也是飯後甜點。注意拼寫:dessert(雙 s)才是甜點;desert(單 s)是沙漠。

core核心畫面

Picture the plates being cleared and one more thing arriving — something sweet, at the end, when nobody is hungry any more. The word is defined by its position in the meal as much as by what it is.

可以想成:盤子收走之後,還有一道端上來——甜的,放在最後,這時大家其實已經不餓了。這個字的意思一半在「是甜的」,另一半在「在哪個位置」:同樣一塊蛋糕,下午吃是點心,飯後吃才是它。
