推不掉的“人質(zhì)午餐”

公司提供免費午餐？別高興的太早，這意味著你得在午餐時間加班或開會，而且不管你想不想吃，你都走不了，這就是hostage lunch（人質(zhì)午餐）。

Hostage lunch is meal purchased by the company, often pizza, and delivered for employees who bosses require them to attend a meeting or work over their lunch hour.

“人質(zhì)午餐”是公司給員工買的快餐，通常是比薩，因為老板需要員工在午餐時間開會或工作。

Example:

"I was planning on running some errands over my lunch hour, but the VP is keeping us in a meeting. At least he ordered us hostage lunch."

“我本來計劃在午餐時間去辦點事，但是副總裁卻一直在給我們開會。不過至少他給我們都訂了外賣。”
