stay to (something) 为习语,意为To remain in some location in order to have a meal (with someone). 即留在某处和某人一起用餐或喝下午茶。通常介词to后接breakfastlunch, dinner, tea等名词。例如:

A: "Would you like to stay to dinner, Jeff?" B: "Sure! I'll have to ask my parents first, though."

I hope you will stay to dinner.

I stayed to lunch because they were having fried shrimp.

 

这个意义中的to也可以用for替换。但for的含义更广,不限于吃饭、喝茶。

Would you please stay for dinner? I am sorry, but we cannot stay for dinner.

Are you going to stay for the after party with the rest of the cast?

Abbey made him stay to tea.

tea 是动词,to tea 是不定式,等于 to drink tea.
