单词 dai pai dong
释义

dai pai dongn.

Brit. /ˌdʌɪ pʌɪ ˈdɒŋ/, U.S. /ˌdaɪ ˌpaɪ ˈdɔŋ/, /ˌdaɪ ˌpaɪ ˈdɑŋ/, Hong Kong English /ˌdaɪ ˌpaɪ ˈdɔŋ/
Inflections: Plural unchanged, dai pai dongs.
Origin: A borrowing from Chinese. Etymon: Chinese daaih pàaih dong.
Etymology: < Chinese (Cantonese) daaih pàaih dong < daaih great, big + pàaih plaque, licence plate + dong stall, so called because stalls selling prepared food were required to display their government licence on a larger sign than other street vendors, but also analysed (probably by folk etymology) as showing pàaih row, line-up (and accordingly sometimes written with the corresponding character), on account of the stalls lining the roadside.
Hong Kong English.
A traditional licensed street stall, typically with a small seating area, selling cooked food at low prices; (now more generally) any food stall of this type.In 1956, in an attempt to regulate food stalls, the Hong Kong government stopped issuing ‘large’ licences to stall-holders. This led to a decline in traditional dai pai dong, but the name was adopted by unlicensed premises of a similar type.
