    Jo: Hello, I'm Jo and you're listening to Real English from BBC Learning English – the programme where we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your textbook or your dictionary. With me today is Helen.
    Helen: Hi Jo. 大家好。在我們的地道英語節(jié)目中,你會發(fā)現(xiàn)不少在字典上查不到的通俗表達。那Jo, 今天有什么有意思的新詞嗎?
    Jo: Well Helen, today's expression is doggy D.O.G.G.Y bag B.A.G. doggy bag.
    Helen: 從 doggy 這個詞來看,我想這是應該和狗 dog 有關的一個表達吧?
    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. 這種情況我們在餐館里經(jīng)常碰到,叫了太多的菜,結果吃不完。
    Jo: So you would ask for a doggy bag.
    Helen: 明白了,A doggy bag 就是在餐館里要求把剩菜打包帶回家,不過這名字好像不大好聽。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?
