n.（名词）
<注释>The linguistic stock of the wordbanquet has been fluctuating for a long time. The Old French wordbanquet, the likely source of our word, is derived from Old Frenchbanc, .bench,. ultimately of Germanic origin. The sense development in Old French seems to have changed from .little bench. to .a meal taken on the family workbench. to .feast..The English wordbanquet is first recorded in a work possibly composed before 475 with reference to a feast held by the god Apollo, and the word appears to have been used from the 5th to the 8th century to refer to the feasts of the powerful and the wealthy.Perhaps this association led a 9th-century newspaper editor to label the word .grandiloquent.because it was being appropriated by those lower down on the social scale.
单词banquet 的词根很长时间来一直有变化。 古法语中的词banquet 可能是我们所使用的词的来源， 是由古法语banc 一词衍生而来的，在日耳曼族语中表.长凳.之意。 而在古法语中其意已由.小椅子.演变为.全家围坐在一起吃的一顿饭.，再演变为.宴席.。英语中的banquet 一词首次记载于475年前一部描写阿波罗神举行的一次宴席的作品中。 从5世纪至8世纪该词一直用于特指权贵们举行的筵宴。也许正是由于这个原因，9世纪一位报纸编辑将该词归为.大言不惭的.一类，因为当时一些中下层人士也开始使用该词了
