Sides
Significado: Side dishes that accompany a main course at a restaurant.
In American dining, 'sides' are the supporting dishes served alongside the main entrée. 'What sides do you want?' is a standard restaurant question. Classic American sides include fries, coleslaw, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, and baked beans. Choosing your sides is a personal ritual.
Ejemplos
- The steak comes with two sides — I'll have fries and coleslaw. 牛排配两个配菜——我要薯条和凉拌卷心菜。El filete viene con dos guarniciones — tomaré patatas fritas y ensalada de col.ステーキにはサイド2品付き——フライドポテトとコールスローにするよ。스테이크에 사이드 두 가지가 포함돼 — 감자튀김이랑 코울슬로로 할게.
- Honestly, I come here for the sides more than the main course. 说实话,我来这儿与其说是为了主菜,不如说是为了配菜。Sinceramente, vengo más por las guarniciones que por el plato principal.正直、メインよりサイドが目当てで来てるんだよね。솔직히 메인보다 사이드 때문에 여기 오는 거야.
- Their sides are amazing — the mac and cheese alone is worth the trip. 他们的配菜太棒了——光芝士通心粉就值得跑一趟。Sus guarniciones son espectaculares — solo los macarrones con queso ya merecen el viaje.ここのサイドは最高——マカロニ&チーズだけでも来る価値がある。여기 사이드가 끝내줘 — 맥앤치즈 하나만으로도 올 가치가 있어.
