很多钱,只能想到“a lot of money”吗?

今天我们来聊聊其他关于钱的表达。

Nice place. You guys must be loaded. 

How did you make the money?

房子不错啊!你们肯定富得流油啊。哪儿弄来的钱?

loaded的意思是,富得流油

一种非正式的用法。

还有一个词filthy rich

也是富得流油

They're filthy rich. 

这些人都太特么有钱了。

近几年又兴起了一个说法:

the one percent 财富塔顶端的那1%

It's easy to get by in society 

when you're part of the one percent. 

赚很多钱怎么说?

“make a lot of money”?

学几个其他说法吧!

make a mint/fortune 赚大钱

She made a mint on the stock exchange last year.

 line one's pockets

(尤其指通过占便宜或欺诈而)中饱私囊,发财

- staff at the bank have apparently been lining their  pockets with money from investors' accounts.

- This new contract is going to line our pockets for 

years.

最后,大家知道那句著名的“有钱能使鬼推磨”,在英语里要怎么表达吗?非常简单!“Money talks!”

A: I don’t know how he got into that university. He’s not that excellent.

B: Didn’t you know? His dad’s a millionaire. He paid for the new library. Money talks.

等你很久啦!快来加入吧!
