    Break bread with

    和...一起吃饭

    A: What a surprise! So you are on a business trip in town?

    B: Actually, I quit my previous job and have moved back to be near my parents.

    A: Great! You know where I live. Please come by and break bread with us sometime.

    Note: This idiom means to "eat a meal with someone." To break bread is, literally, to tear a big loaf of bread into small pieces before eating them. This is necessary because even a small bread bun is usually larger than a mouthful. Originally, the expression comes straight from the Christian Bible, as The American Heritage Dictionary of Idioms explains: This term occurs in numerous places in the New Testament, where it sometimes means to share bread and other times to distribute food to others.
