斋饭 [
zhāi fàn]
vegetarian food
food given to monks
- 刚才这篮里明明是能吃的斋饭,怎么现在变成了石头和虫子。
These are food in the basket just now. How do they turn into stones and frogs. - 斋月中的一天是这度过的:信徒破晓前就起床,吃封斋饭(Suhoor),然后开始一天的封斋。
A typical day of fasting begins with waking up before dawn to have a meal called the suhoor before the start of the fasting day. - 的确, 该事件----一连串领导人对话,在他们一起吃“开斋饭”(在斋月里每天日落斋戒结束后的进餐)之前已经上演,当然气氛有点不自然。
And, indeed, the event—a series of speeches from the leaders before they ate the iftar together, breaking the daily fast of Ramadan at sundown—had a staged and stilted air about it.
