最好别用:“Let's eat outside”
outside,一般指在建筑物等的周围。比如“She is outside”是说她在办公室外面,可能在外头抽烟、聊天。
eat outside 有点非正式,指不在屋内吃。除非是吃户外大排档,否则现在天还有点冷,eat outside 极有可能表达喝“西北风”。
外面吃一般指(eat at a restaurant or at somebody else's home)用eat out会比较妥当
例如:①Oh, I eat out all the time. I hate to cook. I'm too lazy. 哦,我常在外面吃饭。我讨厌做饭。我太懒了。
②It's a good idea to eat out once a while.
隔段时间在外面吃一顿真不错。
③We had to eat out all the time,as we need to save time.我们不得不总是在外面吃,因为这样节省时间。
大白温馨提示,吃午餐也不能用“eat lunch”,英文中有很多独到的用词,很多都不能这样逐字翻译。
正确的用法是:have lunch
eat 后面可以加食物等具体名称,比如 eat pizza, eat ice cream 这些。但像早餐午餐晚餐这样的统称应该用 have。
例句:①I know a wonderful restaurant where we can have lunch next week. 我知道一家很不错的餐厅,下周我们可以去那里吃午饭。
②It's time to have lunch! 午饭的时间到了!
