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breakfast,lunch, 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?
