dinette(n.)
"用于进餐的小房间或凹室",1930年,来自 dine + 小型化后缀(或虚假的法语)-ette。早期它的意思是“预备晚餐,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]
在乔治三世时代,宫廷晚餐时间是汉诺威时间的四点钟。在乔治四世时代,它逐渐推迟到六点钟,最终稳定在印度时间的七点钟,一直保持到她最亲切的陛下的统治时期,正式的宫廷晚餐时间变成了八点钟。这些对餐点的国家时间的创新并未得到医学界的认可,因此规定了下午两点钟的 dinette。这自那时以来一直是最受欢迎的宫廷餐点,实际上是一顿丰盛的热餐,已经取代了旧式的冷肉午餐。[《女王报》,伦敦,引自《帝国词典》,1883年]
