词源记忆法
有很多人相信，短暂地禁食有益于身体健康。因此，很多宗教以及地方习俗中都有“斋戒”的做法，即在某段时期减少或停止饮食。斋戒在英语中是fast。斋戒期结束后吃的第一餐就叫做breakfast，字面意思就是“终止斋戒”。由于这一餐通常是在早晨吃的，所以后来breakfast就变成了“早餐”的英语叫法。

1.其前通常不用冠词，但若特指，则用定冠词；若受到形容词的修饰表示具有某种特点的“早餐”，则用不定冠词：Thank you for the breakfast.谢谢你的这顿早餐。/After a quick breakfast,he hurried to the station.匆匆忙忙吃完早餐，他就赶到车站去了。2.要表示“吃”早餐，英语通常用have，有时也可用take或eat(但较少见)。3.at breakfast与for breakfast不同：前者表示在吃早餐或在吃早餐的时候，后者表示为早餐而吃东西：I always drink tea at breakfast.我总是用早餐时饮茶。/I have an egg for breakfast.我早餐吃1只鸡蛋。(注：lunch,supper也具有类似单词用法)
