Dunch refers to a meal enjoyed subsequent to lunch but prior to dinner, just like "brunch¹" is typically the meal between breakfast and lunch.

 

Dunch指在午餐之后、晚餐之前吃的饭，跟早餐和午餐之间的早午餐（brunch）类似。

 

Dunch should be distinguished² from linner, another meal occurring in the post-lunch, pre-dinner interval³, in that dunch occurs after linner, closer to dinner time.

 

不过，dunch要跟linner区分开来。二者均表示在午餐之后、晚餐之前吃的饭，不过，dunch的时间要比linner靠后，离晚餐时段更近一些。

 

Thus, the socially accepted norm with regard to afternoon eating agendas comprises the following progression of meals: Lunch --> Linner --> Dunch --> Dinner.

 

由此，社交场合中在下午进行的各类进餐次序应该是这样的：午餐（lunch）-->晚午餐（linner）-->午晚餐（dunch）-->晚餐（dinner）。
