星烁英语语法教室：“什么时候用FEW，什么时候用A FEW？”

“WHEN SHOULD I USE FEW VS. A FEW?”

A few usually has a positive connotation, and few usually has a negative connotation.

A few通常有正面意思，而few一般有负面含义。

Let’s say I’m moving to a new city, and I say “I have a few friends there.” – that’s a good thing; I know some people so I will have a good time in the new city.

比如我搬到了一座新的城市，然后我说“I have a few friends there”，就是一件好事，说明我认识一些人，所以我会在这个新的城市过得开心。

“手头紧”，钱不够了，用英语怎么说？

1.break the bank

“break the bank”字面的意思是“打破银行”，脑洞大朋友可能已经脑补出了盗贼抢劫银行的画面，但是“bank”在这里是库存的意思。所以“break the bank”应该翻译成：倾家荡产，资源耗尽。

I really need to buy a new laptop, but I want something that won’t break the bank.

我真的需要买一台新的笔记本电脑，但是我不想倾家荡产。

2. I’m pinching pennies.

“pinching pennies”  (捏一分钱)，意思是就连一分钱也要非常吝啬的精打细算。

I spent way too much money this week, so now I’m pinching pennies.

我这周花了太多钱，所以现在我身无分文。

3. I’m broke.

“I'm broke.”这是口语中最常见的表达，意思是：我破产了或者我没有钱了。

I am so broke this month, I’ve been eating instant noodles all week.

我这个月破产了，我整周都只能吃方便面。
