3. Easy money輕而易舉得來的錢
Easy就是容易,money就是錢。Easy money有兩種不同的意思。Easy money可以指用花招或欺騙手段得來的不義之財。但是,easy money一般是指沒有花什么功夫而得來的錢財。
例句: I heard about thehouse owner had to sell the house in a hurry, so I got it at a very low price.A week later I sold it for a 20,000-dollar profit. Talk about my easy money!
我聽說這棟房子的房主急于要出售這房子,所以我以很便宜的價格買進(jìn)了。一個星期后,我把它賣掉,從中賺了兩萬美元。這真是輕而易舉得來的錢。
4.Money makes the mare go 有錢能使鬼推磨
中國有句古話說“有錢能使鬼推磨”(Moneymakes the mare go)。 錢是好東西,有錢自然是好事,它能幫你做很多想做的事情,也可以讓你生活安逸。
例如:It's true that"Money makes the mare go", and it's equally true that "Moneysometimes unmakes its makers."
有錢能使鬼推磨是真,可是錢能毀了掙錢的人也是真的。
5. for my money
相當(dāng)于in my opinion,意思是“要是我的話,以我說”
例如:I don't think Porter will win the cup this season, for my money; Mark has the best chance.
要我說,這個賽季Porter奪不了冠軍,Mark的希望最大。
