  • camping:outdoor living and recreation.露营,野营。
  • mustard:a cold, thick yellow sauce made from spicy seeds, often served on hot dogs.芥末。

  • ketchup:a cold, thick red sauce made from tomatoes, onions, and other spices, often served on hamburgers.蕃茄沙司。
  • I might as well take it along.我不妨带着(蕃茄沙司)。 may as well(might as well)的意思是“还是……的好”。例如:I may as well stay at home and take care of the baby. We might as well go and have a look. along在这里等于with me。
  • patties:small, flat cakes of guoud meat.小肉饼。
  • freezer compartment:冰箱内的冷冻室。
