“中午吃什么？”和“中午去哪兒吃？”大概是很多職場人士每天都會重復的兩句話。沒錯，對于單位沒有食堂的職員們來說，午飯的確是個讓人頭疼的問題。以致于有人都患上“午飯恐懼癥”了。

Lunch phobia is a new buzzword widely spread on the Internet. Symptoms include: not knowing what to eat and not knowing who to eat with.

“午飯恐懼癥”是網絡盛行的流行詞匯之一，主要“癥狀”表現為：不知吃點什么好，更不知道該跟誰吃。

Many employees have to eat out for lunch because their companies don’t provide canteen services. “Where?” and “what?” become two of the most spoken words at the time. What’s more, some employees are not as social and spend most lunches eating alone. For them, lunch time is not interesting but a little embarrassing.

很多單位沒有食堂，員工需要在外面解決午飯。于是，“去哪里”和“吃什么”已經成了很多人午飯時間的固定對白。另外，有些員工因為無法融入團體，只能選擇在午飯時間單獨用餐。原本很期待的午休時間不再那么美好，甚至讓他們有些尷尬。
