carry-out (Scottish, North American)

1.[C] hot cooked food bought at a shop or restaurant for consumption elsewhere外卖食品

咱们叫份外卖吧。

2.[C] a shop or restaurant that sells such food外卖餐馆

Carry-out restaurants often serve only fast foods.

外卖餐馆通常只提供快餐。

表示“外卖”时,takeout, takeaway, carry-out 这三个词基本上可以同义替换,既可以表示“到店里点餐打包带走”,也可以表示“由他人送餐”。

需要注意的是,表示“外卖食物”时,takeout是不可数名词,而takeaway和carry-out是可数名词,至于为什么这样呢?小编也不知道,小编也不敢问呐……

delivery service:外送服务,所以这个短语不只是用来表示外卖,一切外送服务都可以用delivery service。

delivery: the act of bringing goods, letters etc to a particular person or place, or the things that are brought递送

所以delivery表示“外卖”时,一般指的是“坐在家里等着外卖小哥送餐上门”。
