中国用“花钱如流水”这句话来形容一个人挥霍无度的样子,那么,“乱花钱”用英语该怎么说呢?
但是换个角度想,许欢欢老师觉得用blow这个单词简直太形象了!你看啊,我们常说花钱如流水,虽然blow没有流水的意思,但是blow给人感觉就是钱被风一吹,什么都没有了,岂不是比流水更快。
例句:
· Don't blow your money on something useless.
· 不要在没用的东西上乱花钱。
· Can you spot me some cash? I blew all my money last night.
· 你能借我点钱吗?我昨天晚上都给挥霍没了。
与blow one's money意思相同的表达还有spend money like water(挥金如土)和have money to burn(烧钱,胡乱花钱,挥霍)
例句:
· He spends money like water.
· 他挥金如土。
· I don't know what she does but she seems to have money to burn.
· 我不知道她做什么的, 但她看起来貌似挥金如土。
