dinette 的词源
dinette(n.)
“小房间或壁龛,用于用餐”,这个词在1930年出现,源自 dine(用餐)加上一个 diminutive(小型化)后缀 -ette(或伪法语后缀)。早期它的意思是“前期晚餐或午餐”(1870年)。
The Court dinner-hour, in the reign of George III., was at the Hanoverian hour of four o'clock. During the reign of George IV. it gradually crept up to six o'clock, and finally became steady at the Indian hour of seven, and so remained until the reign of Her Most gracious Majesty, when the formal Court dinner-hour became eight o'clock. These innovations on the national hours of meals did not meet the approval of the medical faculty, and in consequence a dinette at two o'clock was prescribed. This has ever since been the favourite Court meal, being in reality a substantial hot repast, which has exploded the old-fashioned luncheon of cold viands. [The Queen newspaper, London, quoted in Imperial Dictionary, 1883]
在乔治三世统治时期,宫廷的晚餐时间是汉诺威时间的四点钟。在乔治四世统治期间,这个时间逐渐推迟到六点钟,最终稳定在印度时间的七点钟,并一直持续到她最尊贵的陛下统治时期,那时正式的宫廷晚餐时间定为八点钟。这些对国家餐时的创新并未得到医学界的认可,因此建议在两点钟安排一个 dinette(小型晚餐)。从那时起,这就成了宫廷最受欢迎的餐点,实际上是一顿丰盛的热餐,取代了传统的冷餐午餐。[《女王报》,伦敦,摘自《帝国词典》,1883年]
