「伙食」的英文怎樣表達比較好？

原來的翻譯可能會遭致誤會，讓人以為甲方除了供餐之外，還會另外再補助乙方用餐的現金，而且victualling這個字似乎有點古避，因為字典多半查不到。
此外，allowance通常係指「津貼」，因為就原字義：An allowance is money that is given to someone, usually on a regular basis, in order to help them pay for the things that they need.

可能譯成下面這樣較妥：

Meals: Daily food and drink will be provided by Party A. Relevant amount will be around US$______ per day.

> 已在第一時間檢舉財神爺

真的是超級好大膽耶！

財神爺是不能得罪的,不是嗎?

哇，今天才知道原來財神爺是叫妏鳳，竟然是女的。

在美國，我們一向用“meals”。

建議：Meal expenses will be covered by Party A. The daily allowance is US$2.00.

慢點，妳的意思是說甲方會煮給對方吃嗎？ 所以allowance是每日菜錢預算咯?

Provide meals 是指供應飯食。Cover meal expenses 是支付(或津貼)伙食費 -- 不同的概念呀！

rjamesho:
是的。您的假設是對的。甲方會雇用廚師煮給乙方吃。allowance是每日的菜錢預算。這是個特殊的行業。乙方無法自己"出去"買食物吃。
