Leftovers
의미: Food remaining from a previous meal, saved to be eaten later.
Leftovers are a cornerstone of American eating culture. With portions as large as they are in America, leftovers are inevitable. Thanksgiving leftovers — turkey sandwiches, reheated stuffing, day-after casseroles — are practically a holiday tradition in themselves. 'We're having leftovers tonight' is a common American household phrase.

✗ 잘못된 표현
- Don't serve leftovers to guests without acknowledging it — 'It's just leftovers, hope you don't mind' is polite请客时端出剩菜要先说明一下——'只是剩菜,希望你不介意'这样说比较礼貌No sirvas sobras a los invitados sin reconocerlo — 'Son solo sobras, espero que no te importe' es lo educadoお客さんに残り物を出すときは一言添えること——「残り物なんだけど、気にしないでね」と言うのが礼儀손님에게 남은 음식을 내놓을 때는 한마디 해주세요 — '그냥 남은 거예요, 괜찮으시죠?'라고 하는 게 예의입니다
