Take away 是什么意思?会议里的 takeaway 不是外卖

Take away 表示拿走,在英国餐饮场景中也表示打包带走。可会议上谈 the key takeaway,没人正在点外卖:多出的这个词把意思带到了哪里?

Take away 表示拿走某物,或从某人、某处移走东西:They took away my old sofa for free。在英国咖啡馆,take away 表示食物或饮料打包带走:Eat in or take away? 名词 a takeaway 可以指外带餐食,也可以指卖这类餐食的店。

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

take + something + away (from + person/place); take away + pain/fear; eat in or take away?; a takeaway (= food to go)

  • Could you take these boxes away? We need the space for the new desks.
  • At the airport, security took my water bottle away because I'd forgotten to empty it.
  • Would you like to eat in or take away?

修改原因

修改前A large latte with me, please.

修改后A large latte to take away, please.

With me 会让点单听起来像“大杯拿铁,和我一起”。在英国咖啡馆,打包应说 to take away;美式英语常说 to go。

Cambridge Dictionary

注意 a takeaway 与 the key takeaway 的区别。前者在英国可以指外带餐食:Let's get a takeaway tonight。后者在商务语境中表示最值得记住的要点:The key takeaway from the meeting is that we need more staff。

动手练习

(took away / put away)

查看答案

took away — 服务员把盘子从桌上拿走,所以用 took away。Put away 强调把东西收回原本存放的位置,例如把餐具放进柜子;这里描述的是收走桌上的盘子。

想一个买了外带餐食的晚上。说明具体点了什么,以及在哪里吃的。

Last Friday we were too tired to cook, so we ordered noodles and spring rolls to take away and ate them on the balcony.
