两个地道英语表达

doggy bag is a paper or plastic bag or box given a restaurant customer to take home leftovers，就是我们常说的打包袋。

那这个表达跟“狗”有什么关系呢？Originally. American people tell the waiter that they bring the leftovers back home for their pets, especially dog. 但是呢，这些带回家的东西并不一定都是给狗狗吃的。所以啊，美国人其实也有面子思想，不想让别人知道自己吃剩菜。

但是，美国人真的用doggy bag来表达打包吗？答案是 no 。

I recently did a survey about that, 90% American people told me that they can understand what the doggy bag is, it is just like a regional dialect, but they don’t actually use it.

那么我们究竟应该怎么跟服务员说呢？在这呢，我要跟大家分享一个非常实用且简单的表达，那就是“to-go bag”。大家还记得吗? For here or to go,right? to go在这的意思就是打包，那to-go bag就是打包袋，to go box就是打包盒啦.
