“剩余原料”常见的英文表达是 “remaining raw materials” 或 “surplus raw materials”。
remaining raw materials:侧重于表达“剩余的、还未使用完的原料”,强调当前状态是仍有留存。例如:We need to decide what to do with the remaining raw materials.(我们需要决定如何处理剩余的原料。)
surplus raw materials: “surplus”有“过剩的、多余的”含义,更强调原料数量超过了实际需求。例如:The factory is trying to sell off its surplus raw materials.(工厂正试图卖掉它过剩的原料。)
