剩饭打包袋”怎么说
请看《中国日报》相关报道: Eleven restaurants in a Hong Kong mall have responded to a call by green groups to start offering smaller-portion meals. The restaurants in Olympican City take HK$1 ($0.12) off the bill if customers ask for less rice with their order. According to the environment department of Hong Kong, leftovers account for a third of the region's solid waste. An earlier survey by an environmental group found that Hongkong residents left one third of the rice when eating out. 报道中说,香港已经有11家餐馆响应了绿色组织的号召,开始供应小碗米饭。之前的一则调查显示,剩饭占该地区固体废弃物总数的三分之一。香港市民去餐馆吃饭的时候,三分之一的米饭被剩下。 这里的“leftovers”指的就是“剩饭”。“Leftover”是一个统称,泛指一顿饭结束时剩下的东西。它还可以当形容词用,意为“剩下的”。如,Use any leftover meat to make a curry.(要是有剩肉就做咖喱菜。) 看下面这个句子:We had so much food left over from dinner at the restaurant last night that we took enough home in doggy bags to feed the whole family tonight.(昨晚我们在餐馆剩了好多菜,这些带回家的剩菜足够我们全家今天晚上再吃一顿了。) 值得一提的是,英文中还有一个词take-out 与“外带食物”有关,不过,大家千万别把这两者搞混淆了。Take-out 是在餐馆、外卖店买的还没开动的食物,而 doggy bag 则是你在餐馆用来装吃剩下食物的袋子。 |
