Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：formal banquet、historical narrative、ceremonial feast banqueting 比较常见于正式或文学语境，多指盛大而讲究的宴饮（常伴有娱乐活动）；日常口语通常用 give/hold/throw a banquet 或 have a feast，较少直接用 banqueting。
Pronunciation & Spelling
banqueting /ˈbæŋkwɪtɪŋ/ 的读音关键是 /ˈbæŋkwɪt/ + /ɪŋ/。它与 banquet /ˈbæŋkwɪt/ 同根，开头相同；与 quitting /ˈkwɪtɪŋ/、acquitting /əˈkwɪtɪŋ/ 共享结尾音 /kwɪtɪŋ/，但重音不同（banqueting 重音在第一音节，后两者在 /kwɪt/）。注意拼写上的形近词 bouquet /buˈkeɪ/、croquet /kroʊˈkeɪ/、parquet /pɑːrˈkeɪ/ 的 -quet 都读 /keɪ/，不读 /kwɪt/。
