Gravy is the brown, salty sauce you pour on meat, potatoes, or rice — it's usually made from the juices that come out of meat while it cooks, mixed with a little flour to make it thick. In Britain, a big meal isn't really finished without gravy on the plate. There's also a saying, 'gravy train,' for an easy way to make money without working very hard for it — like extra money on top of your normal pay, the way gravy sits on top of your dinner.
肉汁（肉汁醬）
組成No one is completely sure where this word came from. Many word historians think it may have started as a copying mistake — an old French cookery word was written down wrong by hand, and the wrong spelling stuck.
