- 1aB2/rɪˈmeɪnɪŋ/剩下的；其餘的
Used before a noun to talk about the people or things that are still there after the others have gone, been used, or been dealt with.
Used before a noun放在名詞前面, to talk about用來談論 the people or things那些人或東西, that are still there仍然還在, after the others have gone在其他的已經離開, been used被用掉, or been dealt with或被處理掉之後。
示範例句 · Example
Add the remaining ingredients and stir the soup for two minutes.
逐字加入剩下的材料，然後把湯攪拌兩分鐘。
「remaining」講的是「其他的都走了、用掉了、或處理完了之後，還在那裡的那些人或東西」。它只放在名詞前面，例如 the remaining students（剩下的學生）、the remaining ingredients（剩下的材料）；要說「還剩下」，英文會用 There are three left 或 Three students remain。可以想成 remaining 就像從動詞 remain（留下來）長出來的形容詞：留下來的那一批，就是 the remaining ones。

Picture a pile that has been worked through — some taken, used, or dealt with. Whatever is still sitting there afterwards is the remaining part. The word always looks back at what has already gone.
