释义 | place setting (once / 241211 pages) n A place setting is a collection dishes and silverware set on a table in front of one person — it's everything you need to eat a meal, except for the food of course. At a casual meal, a place setting might be a plate, a glass, a fork, and a napkin. More complicated, formal place settings include extra plates, forks, spoons, and knives for different courses, as well as several glasses for an assortment of beverages. You might add a cloth napkin rolled inside a napkin ring, a placemat, and even a card at each place with a guest's name on it. So fancy!
