推不掉的“人质午餐”

公司提供免费午餐？别高兴的太早，这意味着你得在午餐时间加班或开会，而且不管你想不想吃，你都走不了，这就是hostage lunch（人质午餐）。

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.

“人质午餐”是公司给员工买的快餐，通常是比萨，因为老板需要员工在午餐时间开会或工作。

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."

“我本来计划在午餐时间去办点事，但是副总裁却一直在给我们开会。不过至少他给我们都订了外卖。”
