小詞 | 「takeaway」.

最近，小編聽到了一個挺好的詞，使用場景特別豐富，今天我們一起來學一學吧：「takeaway"(也有寫成take-away).

01

首先，來看看Google Books上的詞頻趨勢：

根據Oxford Dictionary, "takeaway"一詞本意是餐廳的外賣。從上圖可以看出，這個詞的popularity近年來大幅上升，不知是不是因為現在人們外賣叫得多了，還是大家越來越多使用了它的第二個定義：

簡單地說，就是有些收穫，學到了什麼。經常使用的場景，就是聽一個講座，上一門課，看一本書，或者一部電影，最後有一些什麼樣的takeaway。

02

這個詞很好用，很多場景都能造句，先來看看一些例句吧~ （部分來自Oxford Dictionary例句）
