英語中常用得“吃”得單詞為eat，但在實際應用中我們可以根據(jù)不同得場合，句中得不同得搭配選用不同得單詞來表示“吃”，比如，常見用得動詞take、have、like等等。
1.dine這個動詞指“進餐；吃飯”，是一個正式用詞。比如：We always dine out at weekends.我們周末總是在外吃飯。

2.take可以同medicine搭配使用，指“吃，吃藥”。比如：The doctor has given me some medicine to take for my cough.醫(yī)生已給我開了治咳嗽得藥吃。You must remind him to take his medicine, in case he forgets.你要盯著他吃藥，別讓他忘了。
3.have作為動詞表示“吃”時，常與breakfast/lunch/dinner搭配使用。比如：I got up late this morning and did not have breakfast.我今天早晨起晚了，沒吃早飯。
Come and have a meal with us tonight.今晚過來和我們一起吃晚飯吧。Let’s have dinner at Heping Restaurant tonight.今晚我們在和平飯店吃晚餐吧。
4.動詞feed可以表達“吃，進食”。比如：When a baby is thirsty, it feeds more often.嬰兒口渴時，吃奶更頻繁。The baby can't feed itself yet.這個嬰兒還不能自己吃東西。Snails feed at night.蝸牛夜間進食。Let children feed themselves.讓孩子自己吃吧。
