“中午吃什么？”和“中午去哪儿吃？”大概是很多职场人士每天都会重复的两句话。没错，对于单位没有食堂的职员们来说，午饭的确是个让人头疼的问题。以致于有人都患上“午饭恐惧症”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.

“午饭恐惧症”是网络盛行的流行词汇之一，主要“症状”表现为：不知吃点什么好，更不知道该跟谁吃。

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.

很多单位没有食堂，员工需要在外面解决午饭。于是，“去哪里”和“吃什么”已经成了很多人午饭时间的固定对白。另外，有些员工因为无法融入团体，只能选择在午饭时间单独用餐。原本很期待的午休时间不再那么美好，甚至让他们有些尴尬。
