关于有钱没钱的英文表达
没钱
I'm really skint.
Skint: [Slang] Without money, esp. only temporarily
由上面的解释可以看出,If someone is skint, they have very little money。虽然skint可以表示poor的意思,但却不能完全替代poor。因为skint is usually used when someone has run out of money temporarily,它常指某人由于最近手头比较紧,钱花完了,但是很快就又会有钱了he will have some money again quite soon,所以skint 表示一个人短时期,暂时没有钱。比如月光族们在花完了这个月工资,等待下个月工资的时候,就可以说自己skint。
Examples
A: Do you want to come to the cinema on Friday night?
B: I can't, I'm really skint this month.
A: My girlfriend likes to shop a lot.
B: Oh really, does she have expensive taste?
A: Yes. I'm usually skint after we go out shopping together.
当然了,有钱和没钱都是相对而言的。哪天I can't afford to buy lunch. I'm too skint.的时候,真希望听到你说I'll buy you lunch. I'm loaded.
