 柴米油鹽醬醋茶，樣樣離不開錢，今天來學學和金錢相關的一些英語表達，拜金女、小氣鬼、沒錢了等等用英語都怎么說呢？ 1)I am really short on dough. 我快沒錢了。 dough本意為面包，沒有錢當然就吃不起面包了。所以dough也有錢的意思。另外一個詞breadwinner， 直譯為贏得面包的人，可以理解為養家糊口的人。 2)He dropped 20 bucks on a shot of tequila, he is such a moneybag. spend太被濫用了， 口語里面可以用drop，譯為花錢。moneybag錢袋子，很有錢的人。(注解：shot 是一杯干的意思，tequila龍舌蘭，一般tequila shot 不會太貴，大概$5 左右吧，當然能話20刀喝一個tequila shot一定是個錢袋子吧) 3)She blew a grand on her trip to Beijing. 她去北京這一趟花了1000美金。 blow譯為大手大腳花錢的意思，grand一千塊。 3)gold digger拜金女，很好理解吧，挖金子的人。 舉個栗子： She is such a gold digger. She always goes for moneybags. 4)cheapskate 花錢很小心人，吝嗇的人， 略有貶低的意思。 舉個栗子： I think I am going to break up with my boyfriend since he is such a cheapskate and not willing to take me out for a nice dinner. 5)被無良商家騙了怎么說呢? I got ripped off by the car maintenance guy, and he took me for $200 for the repair work. 兩個詞組需要注意，第一個 sb got ripped off, rip有撕裂、剝的意思，被人剝了也就是被人騙了錢。第二個take someone for some amount 理解為被人騙了多少錢。 或者說： That guy really took me to the cleaners. clean 干凈，可以理解我被那個人掏空了。 被欺騙的人也可以做主語哦：I got taken by the car mechanic. -------- ---------- --------- ------------ ------------ 關注@英語舌 微信公眾號，請搜索“英語舌” |
