(Often mention is made of the amount of money. See the examples.) e.g. Do you think I'm going to fork twenty dollars out for that book? e.g. Forking out lots of money for taxes is part of life.
4、funny money 1) counterfeit money e.g. The bank teller spotted the funny money in the man's deposit almost immediately. e.g. He was caught passing funny money through the business. 2) temporary or substitute money, good only in certain places e.g. What am I going to do with all this funny money when I leave here? It's no good anywhere else. 3) foreign currency e.g. We had better buy some gifts and get rid of some of this funny money before our flight. 5、I’d bet money (on it) I am certain. 类似于我们“赌五毛”的感觉??好吧,其实也就是“我敢打赌”~ e.g. I'd bet money on it. I'd bet money that Jane will get that job.
6、in the money 1) wealthy e.g. John is really in the money. He's worth millions. e.g. If I am ever in the money, I'll be generous. 2) in the winning position in a race or contest.

9、money to burn More than enough money for what is required or expected. e.g. After they paid off the creditors, they still had money to burn. This hyperbolic expression implies one has so much that one can afford to burn it. [Late1800s] This sense of the verb burn is occasionally used in other phrases, such as time to burn ("more than enough time"), but not very often. 10、be coining it (British & Australian informal) (英式英语&澳洲英语的非正式说法) to be earning a lot of money quickly e.g. The magazine has been coining it since the new editor took over. 也可以说be coining money(美式英语&澳洲英语的非正式说法) (来源:沪江英语 作者:碳包 编辑:Julie) 上一篇 : 这些水果的“内涵”,你都知道吗?(一) |
