今天我们要学习的是Doggy bag
Doggy这是字是dog,也就是"狗"这个字的形容词。Bag大家都知道是"口袋"的意思。Doggy bag连在一起是指饭馆里把客人吃剩的菜放在盒子里，然后把它们都放在一个纸口袋里让客人带回家的那种口袋。那末，这和狗又有什么关系呢? Doggy bag这个说法的出现有它特殊的背景。以前美国人也不好意思把在饭馆吃剩的菜带回家，怕有失面子。所以有的人就会对服务员说：
例句-1："Waiter, could you please wrap up the rest of this steak for me ? I'd like to take it home for my dog."
这个人对服务员说："请你把这块牛排包起来，我想带回家给我的狗吃。"
尽管带回家的东西是给人吃的，但是doggy bag这个名称也就成了日常用语了。现在，情况就不同了。在美国，把在饭馆里吃剩的东西带回家已经是习以为常的事了。饭馆还都备有这些让客人装剩菜的盒子。也没有人会因为要把剩菜带回家而感到不好意思。在美国首都华盛顿，许多中国饭馆的服务员往往不等客人说话就把剩菜给装在doggy bag里了。下面我们来举个例子:
例句-2："We had so much food left over from dinner at the China garden last night that we took enough home in doggy bags to feed the whole family tonight."
她说："昨晚我们在汉宫吃饭剩下了好多菜。我们带回家的剩菜就足够我们全家今天晚上再吃一顿的。"
口语题目结合范例：
1.What can parents do to teach children to save money?
家长应该如何教育孩子们省钱？
From my perspective, Parents they are people who spend most of time with their kids in daily life, their behaviors and thoughts could be examples for teenagers to follow, the first thing I could think of is they must act first. For example, take doggy bag home after meals in restaurant should be a nice habit to learn from.
日常生活中，家长是与孩子一起最久，他们的行为和想法会成为孩子的榜样，他们首先应该身体力行。例如，在饭馆吃完饭后将没吃完的饭打包回家，这应该是一个不错的参考。
2.What changes has there been in restaurants in the past few years?
在这几年中，饭馆没些什么变化呢？
As far as I concern, Since the development of the awareness on environment conservation, increasing number of them would suggest customers to wrap up left-over in doggy bag now. They used to prefer to have those wasted food for swill selling.
现在人们对环境保护的意识的提升，越来越多餐厅都会建议客户将没吃完的饭菜打包。以前，他们宁愿将这些剩饭剩菜用来卖给别人当泔水。
