早安！
昨天吃完晚餐要結帳時，聽到前面客人說
“You don’t have to do this, let’s go Dutch”
你不用請我拉，我們各付各就可以！

剛剛早上想到跟你們分享一些跟錢有關的俚語slang （現在聽到東西都想馬上記下來寫到多益跟聊天課的講義裡，誰來救救我的強迫症）
-
1. look like a million bucks
當有人跟妳說「hey妳今天長的像一百萬美金」，表示他覺得妳今天美炸了！（通常用來形容女性，用於需要精心打扮的場合）
(in a wedding)
Wow, Emma! you look like a million bucks this evening. I love your dress!
-
2. as genuine as a three-dollar bill
當你說「這跟三塊美金一樣真」，代表說某個東西、或某件事是假的。因為美國沒有印三元鈔票啊！
This contract is genuine as a three-dollar bill—there's no way they're offering us this much money without some sort of catch.
-
3. cost/ pay an arm and a leg
當你說「這東西花了我一隻手臂跟一隻腿」，表示這東西貴桑桑
We want to redecorate the living room, but I’m afraid it’s going to cost us an arm and a leg.
-
4. live from hand to mouth
當你說「我從手住到嘴」，代表手頭沒有多餘的錢，賺的僅供餬口
His father earned very little and there were five kids, so they lived from hand to mouth.
-
5. Midas touch
當你說「你有麥得斯國王的手（觸碰）」，代表賺錢很容易的意思，這個片語源自於希臘神話麥得斯國王的故事，麥得斯國王意外獲得點石成金的能力，並把身邊的東西都變成黃金！
Jasmine really has the Midas touch. Every business she starts becomes very successful.
-
這五個俚語你們都記在腦子裡了嗎？
