文化拓展 

brunch文化的流行 （详细请听音频）

懒虫：slacker

Slack v. 作为动词就是松懈，偷懒的意思。

Some people get up very late because they are slackers. But others sleep more on the weekends only because they work too hard and sleep too little during the weekdays. 但有些人周末睡懒觉是因为工作日缺觉。

周末补觉的人：sleep camel

A sleep camel is a person who gets little sleep during the week, and then attempts to make up for it by sleeping a lot during the weekends.

早午餐：brunch

If people get up late in the morning on weekends, they usually have brunch. Brunch 就是breakfast 和lunch 两个词的结合。

Brunch is a combination of breakfast and lunch. It originated in England in the late 19th century and became popular in the United States in the 1930s.  

社会学家Farha Ternikar在其著作《Brunch：A history》《早午餐的历史》中指出：美国人对于早午餐的喜欢，不亚于周末看橄榄球。

"Weekend brunch is as American as Sunday football." Breakfast is the beginning of a workday, while brunch marks the beginning of a happy weekend.

很多酒店的brunch是自助餐，就是buffet.

Brunch通常会包含西式早餐中的常见食品：

eggs鸡蛋, sausages香肠，bacon培根烤肉，

火ham腿肉，fruits水果，pastries油酥糕点，waffles 华夫饼
