One day it was time for lunch, and I was eating my sandwich that I prepared myself. Vera, the secretary(秘书) of our company, asked me absent-mindedly(心不在焉地),”Brown bagging today?” For a while, I was at a loss to find a word to respond(回答) to what she had said. I thought to myself,” You should have seen the black bag that I take with me to work every day.”

Seeing I was wearing a puzzled expression(表情),Vera promptly(立刻) explained that ”brown bagging” had the meaning of providing lunch for oneself or taking one’s lunch to eat in one’s office. Usually the food is kept in a brown paper bag, so it has this name. The persons who take their lunch with them are called brown baggers.
