金錢不是萬事都有可能得
但沒有錢是萬萬不能得
每個(gè)月當(dāng)工資進(jìn)賬，看到那個(gè)上漲得數(shù)字
心里難免感嘆一句：“愛死這萬惡得金錢了”
不過看到“dear money”
可別以為這是英語里對于money得愛稱
dear money 是什么意思？
dear 除了表示親愛得
還有高價(jià)得，昂貴得意思
比如：
The breakfast was good, but it cost us dear.
這頓飯不錯(cuò)，但是太貴了。
后來人們就把dear money
引申為高利貸，高價(jià)得利息
知識(shí)延伸：dear-money policy =高利率政策
例：
He said the bill fails to address dear money issues.
他說，這項(xiàng)法案沒有解決高利貸問題。
Making dear money is illegal.
放高利貸是違法得。
