Greggs
GREGZ /ɡreɡz/
Informal Neutral
What it really means
A very popular cheap bakery chain on almost every UK high street, selling sausage rolls, pasties, sandwiches and coffee. Brits joke about loving it — it is a cultural icon, not a fancy place.
Chinese explanation
英国几乎每条商业街都有的平价连锁面包店，卖香肠卷、馅饼、三明治和咖啡。英国人爱拿它开玩笑——它是一种文化符号，不是高档店。
