Helen: Hi Jo. 大家好。在我们的地道英语节目中，你会发现不少在字典上查不到的通俗表达。那Jo, 今天有什么有意思的新词吗？



Jo: Well Helen, today's expression is doggy D.O.G.G.Y bag B.A.G. doggy bag.



Helen: 从 doggy 这个词来看，我想这是应该和狗 dog 有关的一个表达吧？



Jo: A doggy bag is actually something we get at a restaurant. Sometimes when you eat out there is a lot of food and you can't finish everything because you are full ? well you might want to take that leftover food home.



Helen: Leftover 多余的，吃剩了的食品. 这种情况我们在餐馆里经常碰到，叫了太多的菜，结果吃不完。



Jo: So you would ask for a doggy bag.



Helen: 明白了，A doggy bag 就是在餐馆里要求把剩菜打包带回家，不过这名字好像不大好听。Why is it called a doggy bag Jo?



Jo: Well, it's because sometimes people take leftover food home to give to their dog ? but most of the time the food is for people to eat not dogs. But we always call it a doggy bag. Let's listen to an example shall we?
