每日 EZ Word
dig是從地底或雪裡「挖掘」的意思。「負債」是get into debt,「還債」是get out of debt,債務給人身陷泥沼的感覺可見一斑。口語用dig描寫還債,更能顯出清償債務的艱難。
今日會話 EZ Talk
Beth: Where do you suppose we went wrong?
Ron: Oh, you know how it is. These things are always *cyclic.
Beth: Yeah, but this cycle seems to be particularly bad.
The Economy
Beth: Personally, I think there’s been too much money going out, and not enough coming in.
Ron: Yeah, I agree. It doesn’t help that we’ve had two wars going on.
Beth: Absolutely. It’s a huge 1)drain on the economy.
Ron: Well, I think I’m all done with your hair. What do you think?
Beth: Much better. How much do I 2)owe you?
Ron: Fifteen dollars.
Beth: Uh-oh. Wouldn’t you know? I left my purse in the car.
Ron: That’s OK. Freddie can pay me next time I see him.
貝絲:你認為問題出在哪?
阿朗:喔,你也知道,這種事向來都是循環性的。
貝絲:是啊,但這個循環似乎特別糟糕。
經濟現況
貝絲:我個人認為,整個國家一直入不敷出。
阿朗:我同意,打了那兩場戰爭更是雪上加霜。
貝絲:一點也不錯,耗費大量經濟資源。
阿朗:好,我想我已把妳的頭髮修剪得差不多了。妳認為如何?
貝絲:好多了。我該付你多少錢?
阿朗:15元。
貝絲:糟糕,我把皮包留在車上了。
阿朗:沒關係,我下次見到費迪時再跟他算。
