Lunch phobia is a new buzzword widely spread on the Internet. Symptoms include: not knowing what to eat and not knowing who to eat with. “午饭恐惧症”是网络盛行的流行词汇之一,主要“症状”表现为:不知吃点什么好,更不知道该跟谁吃。 Many employees have to eat out for lunch because their companies don’t provide canteen services. “Where?” and “what?” become two of the most spoken words at the time. What’s more, some employees are not as social and spend most lunches eating alone. For them, lunch time is not interesting but a little embarrassing. 很多单位没有食堂,员工需要在外面解决午饭。于是,“去哪里”和“吃什么”已经成了很多人午饭时间的固定对白。另外,有些员工因为无法融入团体,只能选择在午饭时间单独用餐。原本很期待的午休时间不再那么美好,甚至让他们有些尴尬。 为了避免“午饭恐惧症”,首先,我们要找一些“饭友”。 一般来说,只要有写字楼的地方,周边就会有很多餐馆,而且不论菜品好坏,到了午饭时间,公司白领们都会三五成群地前去捧场。我们管这些结伴一起吃饭的人就叫做 “饭友”或“饭搭子”,更可爱一点的说法是“饭饭小组”,英文叫meal pal。 This term, meal pal, refers to office workers who lunch together during work days. Many white-collar workers are seeking lunch pals via the Internet to share high prices as well as the delicious dishes in nearby restaurants. |
