The British Attitude towards Lunch

Something I've noticed in the UK is that the British have a very strange attitude towards lunch.
Especially like an event or a public occasion, like have you ever been to an event that started in the middle of a day, and they provided like snacks or nibbles, and you're thinking it's lunchtime, a proper meal is needed.
The British really put so much more emphasis on dinner, being the proper meal.
At lunch, British people seem to just get by on, not much food.
I don't know how they do it honestly, like a sandwich, a piece of bread or a biscuit.
People from other countries complain about this. Why do I go to this work event?
Food should be provided given the time of day, but actually you have to be fending for yourself and feeling hungry.
And a lot of time, you have to stand and eat.


英国人对待午餐的态度
我发现英国人对待午餐的态度非常奇怪。
特别像活动或公共场合,例如参加中午的的活动,他们提供零食或小吃,然后你想这都午饭时间了,需要正餐。
英国人重视晚餐作为一顿正餐。而午餐时,英国人似乎只是简单地应付一下,吃的不多。
老实说,我不知道他们是怎么做到的,例如三明治、一片面包或一块饼干。
来自其他国家的人都抱怨这件事,我为什么要去参加这样的工作活动?
根据用餐时间,本应提供食物,但实际上你得自己照顾自己,而且感到饥饿。
而且很多时候,你不得不站着吃。
