常见的快餐词汇
1. Carry-out外卖食物The great thing about fast food is that it can be eaten on the go. Carry-out, also known as take-out, is what you get when you’re not planning to eat at the restaurant. When you get take-out, ask for your food “to go.”快餐很棒的一点是可以在路上吃,外卖食物,也被称为外带食物,是你不打算在餐厅吃时买的东西。2. Eat in堂吃The opposite of carry-out, eating in means staying at the fast food restaurant to eat your meal. When ordering to eat in, ask for your food “to stay” or “for here.”外带食物的反义词,表示待在快餐店里吃。当你在店里吃,点餐时你可以说在这里吃。3. Drive through 得来速This is sometimes misspelled on purpose as “drive thru.” This option lets you order your food without even needing to get out of your car. Just pull your car up to the special drive thru window, place your order and drive around to the next window to pay and pick it up.有时候会被故意误拼成“得来速”。这个选择让你不用下车就可以订餐。只需要将你的车子停在专门的得来速窗口边下单,然后驾车去下一个窗口付账领取就可以。4. Franchise 特许经销权A franchise is a group of restaurants that are under the same brand owner, but operate on their own. The main brand provides the ingredients and menus, but each store has its own owner and manager. Many fast food restaurants are part of a franchise.

These combos are pre-created meals that usually contain a few different food items and a drink.如果你选餐困难,可以让餐厅帮你选。有些地方有专门的组合套餐,这些套餐都是提前准备好的,包含不同种类的食物和一杯饮料。Sometimes you even get your food cheaper when ordering a combo.有时候点套餐价格更便宜。
