作为一个吃五谷杂粮的凡夫俗子,我也知道也只喜欢money money money...也知道每到月底总要喊穷“I have no money, no money!”, 但是偶尔总要假装一下,那么如何优雅地表达“我没钱了”又不失仪态呢
我们来看看最通俗的说法是“I have no money.”真的一点逼格都没有。
have no可以用短语run out 代替:
run out
v.用完;跑出去;耗尽;到期
动副型短语动词,作不及物动词,其主语通常是时间、金钱、食物等无生命名词。用于被动含义。
而它和run out of有什么区别呢?
run out of
v.用完;耗尽;从…跑出
短语动词,作及物动词用,后接宾语,主语只能是人。用于主动含义。
【例句】
①My money soon ran out.
②I ran out of my money.
还可用short/short of代替:
short of
缺少;不远;差一点;除了…之外
【例句】
①I'm short these days.
我这几天手头很紧,就是没钱。
②I was short of cash after the collapse of my business.
在公司倒闭后,我手头缺少现金。
除了run/short/low还可以用break的过去分词"broke"表示“没钱啦”的意思:
broke
adj.破产的;缺乏资金的
【例句】
①I am broke until payday.
发工资前我口袋里空空如也。
②I am broke myself.
我破产了。
那么,当你没现金时可以这样表达,很地道:
I have no cash.
I am out of cash.
I am low on cash.
“我没钱了”其他说法:
I have an empty pocket.
I am running low myself.
【一些有关钱的说法】
