Residuals, almost always in the plural, are the extra payments an actor, writer, or musician gets when their work is shown again — a TV rerun, another play on a streaming service, a commercial that airs once more. The first cheque is for making the work; residuals are for each later use.

Residuals重播費／重播版稅，almost always in the plural幾乎都用複數形式，are the extra payments指的是額外的酬勞an actor, writer, or musician gets演員、作家或音樂人可以拿到when their work is shown again當他們的作品再次被播出——a TV rerun電視重播、another play on a streaming service在串流平台又播一次、a commercial that airs once more廣告又播一次。The first cheque第一筆錢is for making the work是做出作品的酬勞；residuals而residualsare for each later use則是之後每次再利用的酬勞。

This is show-business English, especially American. You will not hear a shopkeeper use it.

This這是show-business English演藝圈用語，especially American尤其是美式英文。You will not hear a shopkeeper use it開店做生意的人不會用這個字。

Though actually, some people loosely call any leftover royalty a residual. Do not mix this money sense with residual as an adjective meaning “left over” — same family, different job. In ordinary Taiwan talk you are more likely to hear 重播費 than this English word.

Though actually不過事實上，some people有些人loosely call any leftover royalty a residual會把任何剩餘版稅都籠統叫做residual。Do not mix this money sense別把這個跟錢有關的意思with residual as an adjective meaning "left over"跟形容詞residual（意思是「剩餘的」）搞混——same family同一個字源，different job但用途不同。In ordinary Taiwan talk在台灣日常說法裡you are more likely to hear重播費這個說法你更常聽到的是重播費than this English word而不是這個英文字。
