广播学口语:挥金如"水"

HI! 大家好,欢迎光临广播学口语,在中国人形容有人花钱大手大脚有个词语叫＂挥金如土＂,在英国则说是挥金如水.这是为什么呢？让我们来看一下今天要学习的句子:

(音乐)

＂like water＂像水一样。如果我们说一个人能喝酒,就是他喝酒就跟喝水一样o＂like water＂有＂大量的无节制＂的意思。在英语中要注意：挥金如土,也是和水有关系的。在我们国家,酒有着悠久的历史，可以叫做酒文化吧。酒在各种party中是不能少的。The wine¹ flew² like water at the party. (大家开怀畅饮,酒如流水。)
酒会是一项很大的开支。不过对于有钱人来说,这又算得了什么呢。但是如果你没有钱，那可就不一样了：Although³ he is not earning⁴ much, he spends money like water. (他虽赚不到钱，但他还是挥金如水。) 那不透支才怪呢！

(音乐)

我们学过＂in hot water＂＂有麻烦了,处于水深火热之中＂。那么摆脱麻烦怎么说呢？ ＂above water＂，在水面上面。就可以理解为＂摆脱困境,不欠债＂。
Although he spends money like water he can keep his head above water, for he has a father made⁵ of money. (虽然他挥金如土,但他还不至于欠债.因为他有一个很有钱的爸爸。) 可即使老爸再有钱，自己不劳动，总有坐吃山空的一天。所以我们还看好小张的作法：He can keep his head above water although he is not earning much.(虽然他赚钱不多,但能做到不欠债)

（音乐）

好了,让我们回忆一下我们今天所学习的内容:
(1)The wine flew like water at the party. (在宴会上大家开怀畅饮,酒如流水。)
(2)He can keep his head above water although he is not earning much. (虽然他赚钱不多,但能做到不欠债。)
