“有钱”和“没钱”的新潮英语表达

会计考友

有钱和没钱，除了用rich和poor表达之外，还有什么新潮时尚的说法吗？

, ~2 J; @% G+ I8 R& ]1 h$ ^有钱

. L) I/ P. T- M9 I+ eI'm loaded.
4 y! v  R# {* t, N/ \' r
Loaded: [Slang] Having a great deal of money. 非常有钱。
! o# b( k2 l* n' ]! _
它既可以表示某人很富有，也可以用来表示某人现在手里很有钱。

Examples

- E$ w) T8 b$ G0 RA: I think football players get paid far too much money.
5 }  B! l7 m) \/ L2 t/ b
B: I know. Can you imagine being loaded like that? Having expensive cars and lots of houses--it must be incredible.
2 e2 c: P, {4 h  I
* z- n, S9 X: j8 d0 c* s
3 _( l4 s# ?+ r. HA: I can't afford to go out tonight. I've spent all my money.

B: Don't worry. I'm loaded right now. I'll treat you to a night out.
3 A* j' b' V5 c; H
# V/ J/ W& B* }: Z$ q. b: _除了用loaded表示有钱，minted和rolling也有这方面的含义。

7 K5 B* ]5 l* u) G4 dI'm minted.

Mint有造币厂的意思（ A place where the coins of a country are manufactured by authority of the government.），造币厂里有多少钱就不用说了，所以mint的形容词有abundant amount of money的意思。

  p. X( K# I( A1 i  pI'm rolling in it.

Rolling 就是打滚的意思，钱多得可以在里面打滚，真是够有钱的。
1 u2 o( I% B% _
没钱

I'm really skint.

Skint: [Slang] Without money, esp. only temporarily
% U4 B( T3 C6 M# p3 W: D  z
' {( p0 W1 m0 I+ T, s# g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

! n1 l7 l9 J" G$ xA: Do you want to come to the cinema on Friday night?

B: I can't, I'm really skint this month.
