Question

luncheon n.午宴；正式的午餐 (1) 我们被邀参加一次正式的午宴。(2) 真抱歉，我不得不取消我们的午餐的约会。(3) 今天的午餐特菜是什么？ The word luncheon makes its first appearance in English in the late 1500s, in phrases like "a luncheon of bread and cheese." Originally it meant "a thick piece, a hunk" — like a big chunk of bread slathered with cheese. The word may have come from the Spanish lonja, "slice." By the early 19th century, luncheon had taken the formal route, and its abbreviated form, lunch, came to mean the more casual version of the midday meal.
