74. 你该吃晚饭了。
[误] It's time to eat your dinner.
[正] It's time to have your dinner.
注:不是所有的“吃”字都能翻译为英语 eat 的,英语中有许多固定搭配,如:take one's medicines(吃药); lead an idle life(吃闲饭);be very popular(吃香);I had some meat for lunch(午餐我吃了些肉)等。eat:“进餐”,在英国不常用,但在美国却常见。
例如:
Eat your dinner.
He ate his breakfast quickly, then ran up to his room again.
