    Veg is the short, everyday British way of saying vegetables. You hear it in the kitchen, in the market, and on menus: 'meat and two veg' is a standard British way of describing a plain dinner.

    Veg Veg is the short, everyday British way of saying vegetables是英式口語裡簡短說「vegetables」(蔬菜)的方式。You你 hear it會聽到這個字 in the kitchen, in the market, and on menus在廚房、市場和菜單上:'meat and two veg'「meat and two veg」 is a standard British way of describing a plain dinner是英國人形容一頓家常晚餐的標準說法。

    It is uncountable and it does not change in the plural — say 'lots of veg', never 'lots of vegs'. Notice the sound: it is said with a soft g, like the start of 'jam', so it rhymes with 'edge'.

    It它 is uncountable是不可數名詞 and it does not change in the plural複數形式不會變 — say要說 'lots of veg'「lots of veg」, never 'lots of vegs'絕不說「lots of vegs」。Notice the sound注意發音:it它 is said with a soft g是用軟音g發的, like the start of 'jam'就像「jam」開頭那個音,so所以 it rhymes with 'edge'跟「edge」押韻。

    Two other uses share this spelling. As a verb, to veg, usually 'veg out', means to sit and do nothing at all, especially in front of a screen — the picture is of a person as inactive as a vegetable, and it is friendly rather than insulting when you say it about yourself.

    Two other uses還有兩種用法 share this spelling拼法一樣。As a verb當動詞用時, to veg「to veg」, usually 'veg out'通常說「veg out」, means指的是 to sit and do nothing at all坐著什麼都不做, especially in front of a screen尤其是盯著螢幕的時候 — the picture is of a person as inactive as a vegetable畫面就是一個人像蔬菜一樣一動也不動,and it is friendly rather than insulting而且用在自己身上時是親切的,不是罵人 when you say it about yourself。

    And in casual speech 'veg' sometimes stands in for vegetarian, as in a veg option on a menu, though 'veggie' is more common for that. This word is much more British than American; Americans usually say 'veggies'.

    And而 in casual speech在口語裡 'veg'「veg」 sometimes stands in for有時會代替 vegetarian「vegetarian」(素食), as in a veg option on a menu像菜單上的「veg option」, though 'veggie' is more common for that不過那個意思更常見的是「veggie」。This word這個字 is much more British than American比較英式、不是美式;Americans美國人 usually say通常說 'veggies'「veggies」。
