planning a business luncheon预定商业午餐
One of my co-workers, Betty, was retiring this month after working for the company 23 years. I was put in charge of planning a retirement lunch in her honor at a restaurant nearby. The company was picking up the tab and it was up to me to set a day and time. After asking the people in the department and finding out their availability, I called the restaurant to make a reservation. 我的同事贝蒂，在为公司工作23年后将在本月退休了。我被指派在公司附近找个饭店开个午餐会为她的退休庆贺一下。公司会买单但我来决定午餐的时间。在咨询了部门中的同事都什么时候有时间后，我打电话给饭店去预定午餐。
