餐桌

• 拼音: cān zhuō
• 汉字拆解: 餐 = 食 (food/eat radical) + 欠 (lacking, phonetic component); 桌 = 木 (wood) + 卓 (elevated, phonetic)

含义

Dining table. The table at which meals are eaten, typically in a dining room or kitchen. Also used figuratively to represent mealtimes, family gatherings, and the conversations and dynamics that unfold during meals.

Beyond its literal meaning, 餐桌 appears frequently in figurative and abstract contexts: 餐桌文化 (dining culture), 餐桌外交 (table diplomacy), 餐桌礼仪 (table manners), 餐桌经济 (dining economy). In Chinese culture, the dining table is a central site for social bonding, family decision-making, and business negotiation — its significance extends well beyond eating.
