Drive-thru
含义: A service window at a fast-food restaurant where you order and receive food without leaving your car.
The drive-thru (spelled 'thru' not 'through' in American usage) is an icon of American car culture. You pull up, order through a speaker, drive to the window, and get your food. McDonald's, Starbucks, and nearly every fast-food chain has one. It's also used as an adjective: 'a drive-thru window,' 'drive-thru pharmacy.'
