名著淺讀:還鄉記 #3 (共6集)
"You sure was thirsty," said
the old man. "I ain't never seen anybody anywhere drink so much
water at one time. It sure looked good seeing you swallow all that
water."
He went on walking down Alvin Street, humming to himself, the old
man staring at him.
Nice to be back, the young man thought; greatest mistake I ever made,
coming back this way.
Everything he had ever done had been a mistake, and this was one of
the good mistakes. He had come south from San Francisco without even
thinking of going home; he had thought of going as far south as Merced,
stopping there awhile, and then going back, but once he had got into
the country, it had been too much. It had been great fun standing
on the highway in his city clothes, hitchhiking.
「你一定是很渴，」老人說道。「從沒有在任何地方見過任何人一定喝下那麼多的水，看到你喝下那麼多，實在難得。」
他繼續沿著愛爾文街走去，邊走邊哼，老人一直注視著他。
年輕人知道，回到家鄉真好；不過，像這個樣子回來，真是天大的錯誤。
他所做的每一件事都是錯誤的，而這件事更是大錯特錯。他從舊金山往南走，壓根兒就沒有想到要回家；只想往南走到馬德塞，在那兒停留一下再折回去，可是一旦來到這個地區卻又身不由己。穿著城市裏的服裝在公路上搭便車旅行實在有趣。

Q：請問到速食店點餐，我們要外帶，可是卻不知要如何說？

除此外還有其他的方式可說：
Ex: take-away food; take-out food; carry out food
或是像美國人所說的：food to go
