    「dine」是比較正式的「用餐」動詞，常指好好坐下來吃一頓飯，尤其是晚餐或邀請場合。日常口語多用 eat 或 have dinner；邀請卡、飯店介紹、新聞報導才常出現 dine。核心畫面可以想成「端端正正坐下來吃一頓正餐」，不是邊走邊啃零食。常見搭配：dine with（跟某人用餐）、dine at（在某地用餐）、dine out（外食）、dine on（這餐吃的是…）。

core核心畫面

Picture a laid table with more than one course: napkins, a proper sit-down, no rush. Dine is not just eating — it carries the setting with it, which is why menus and hotels use it and everyday conversation does not.

可以想成：一張擺好的餐桌，不只一道菜，有餐巾、有座位、不趕時間。dine 不只是「吃」，它把整個場合一起帶進來——所以菜單和飯店愛用這個字，日常聊天卻不會這樣說。
