2010-01-04来源:和谐英语

最高雅的省钱:

Getting so worked up by an exciting article that blood pressure goes up thereby increasing body temperature and reducing the need for heating.
看一篇绝妙好文,因兴奋而血压升高,随即体温上升,暖气就可以开小一点了。

最无赖的省钱:
Send the kids round to friends' houses around dinnertime. The advice is that it works best if they practice acting hungry first.
吃晚饭的时候把小孩送到朋友家。如果之前彩排一遍,表演饿肚子会更有效果。

最旷日持久的省钱:
Pick up every coin you find. A couple who have spent the last 12 years picking up every coin they have ever found amassed £360,000.
捡起地上的每一枚硬币。一对夫妇由于在过去的12年间坚持不懈捡硬币,从而挣了360,000英镑。

最环保的省钱:
Use your leftovers. Cut up used greetings cards and use the pieces to make new ones. With children going to a dozen parties every year it saves pounds.
废物利用。把用过的贺卡剪开做成新卡片。如果你的孩子们每年都要参加很多派对,这种做法真的能省很多。

最有技术含量的省钱:
Hang onto the outside of the bus.
挂在公交车外面——这样就不用付车钱了。

最有“味道”的省钱:
Take a bath once a year and save GBP30. Do it with a friend and save double.
一年就洗一次澡,可以省30英镑。跟一个朋友一起这样做,可以省双倍。

最创新的省钱:
Roasted dandelion root is an excellent coffee substitute (and it's decaf).
烤蒲公英根可以代替咖啡,而且还是无咖啡因的。

最辛苦的省钱:
Brew your own beer and wine.
自己酿酒,丰衣足食。
