I'm low on cash this month!    好吧。你猜对了。我这个月正缺钱呢!    2. poor as a church mouse 像教堂里的耗子那么穷,一贫如洗    例句:Nobody could imagine that he was as poor as a church mouse when he first came to Hong Kong.    没人能想象到当初他刚来到香港的时候是一贫如洗的。    3. dirt-poor 非常穷困的;极贫困的    例句:Where would this dirt-poor Jack get a hundred dollars?    杰克这个穷光蛋到哪儿弄一百美元去?    4. working poor 穷忙族(在低报酬职务工作的人)    例句:Now, more and more people are involved in "working poor".    现在,越来越多的人们被卷入了“穷忙族”的圈子。          5. live from paycheck to paycheck 月光族    例句:We stress about the fact that we live from paycheck to paycheck but we don't change our spending habits.    我们强调我们靠薪水过日子,常常不够花,但从来不改变自己的消费习惯。    6. max out (credit card) 刷爆信用卡    例句:A good way to become penniless is to max out your credit cards and keep borrowing more until the repayments overwhelm you.    想变得一贫如洗的好办法就是最大限度地透支你的信用卡,并不断地借更多的钱,直到债务把你压垮。    7. be broke 破产了,身无分文了    例句:If you keep spending money like this, you're going be broke.    如果你继续这样花钱,你很快会身无分文的。    8. live from hand to mouth 勉强糊口    例句:When I had no job last winter, I had to live from hand to mouth.    去年冬天没找到工作,我不得不过着勉强糊口的生活。 |
