“早餐”的英文名 Breakfast 是来自“解除禁食”（breaking the fast）的意思。

Breakfast is the first meal of the day, preceding lunch or dinner and is typically eaten in the morning. The English word derives from the idea of breaking the involuntary fast of sleep, thus signifying the first meal eaten after awakening. It conveys the exact literal meaning of the Vulgar Latin word disjejunare which evolved via the French d?jeuner to become the English word lunch.
