随着越来越多的用户注册美团、饿了么，外卖成为我们生活中不可或缺的一部分。本篇文章介绍一些外卖相关的常用表达及词汇。

1. 外卖，可以用单词takeaway/takeout/carry-out来表示。

In the U.S., this is also called takeout. In the U.K., it's called takeaway. Other terms that are often used to describe such services are pick-up and to-go. The term carry-out is based on the phrasal verb carry out, literally meaning to carry something out of a place, like you'd carry the pizza out of the pizzeria.

美国常用takeout，英国常用takeaway。

双语例句：

Whereas, Meituan provides many vendors with services in relation to the online market in the Territory through its dedicated website, mobile app, etc. (collectively, “Platform”), so that the vendors may publish food and other takeaway goods/service information via the Platform, and customers may directly order takeaway goods/services from the vendors via the Platform.

鉴于，Meituan通过其专属网站、移动端应用等方式（合称“平台”）向众多商户在区域内提供在线市场相关服务，以便商户通过平台发布餐饮等外卖商品/服务信息、顾客通过平台从商户直接订购外卖商品/服务。

拓展：对应的“堂食”，多用dine in表示，比如：They offer dine-in and takeout（他们提供堂食和外带服务）。

2. 骑手，可以用rider/delivery man/delivery guy 来表示。

关于外卖骑手的表述，人物公众号有一篇文章《外卖骑手，困在系统里》，我刚好搜到了其英文版本，

In the setting of the system, delivery time is the most important indicator, and late arrival is not allowed. Once it happens, it means bad reviews, reduced income, or even being fired. In Baidu Tieba where delivery riders gather, one rider wrote, “Delivering food is a race against death, a competition with traffic police, and being a friend with red lights.”

在系统的设置中，配送时间是最重要的指标，而超时是不被允许的，一旦发生，便意味着差评、收入降低，甚至被淘汰。外卖骑手聚集的百度贴吧中，有骑手写道，「送外卖就是与死神赛跑，和交警较劲，和红灯做朋友。」

3.打包，可以用package/wrap up/to-go 来表示。

双语例句：

外卖打包升级优化：呷哺外卖升级产品打包袋设计，以无纺布替代塑料袋，减少塑料制品使用，并在包装外增加封贴，确保食品安全。

Upgrading and optimising take-out packaging: Xiabuxiabu Delivery upgraded the design of take-out packaging bags by replacing the plastic bags with non-woven fabric bags to reduce the use of plastic products, and adding the sealing tape to the packaging bags to ensure food safety.
