Day 1 Break the bank

"Break the Bank" 今日晨读 ▌Dialogue [ 对话 ] Have you ever been shopping and heard someone say: I don't want to break the bank.This is a simple phrase that you can easily add to your American English vocabulary.Let's hear it in a conversation. A: I wanted to buy a new car. I saw one at the dealership yesterday, but it was so expensive! B: How expensive? A: very expensive -- way too much for me. I can't afford it, and I don't want to break the bank. This phrase means to use up all of your money, and it comes from gambling. If a gambler wins more money than the casino has on hand, it's called "breaking the bank." And when someone has no money, you can say he is "broke." ▌Translation [译文] 你有没有曾经购物过程中听到有人说，“我可不想倾家荡产！” 这个是一个简单的短语，可以加到美式英语词汇李。让我们在一段对话里听一下。 “我想买一辆新车，昨天在经销商那看到一辆，但是太贵了。”“有多贵？”“非常规——离谱的贵，我可买不起，我不想倾家荡产” 这个短语的意思是，用光所有的钱。这给词来源于赌博——当一个赌徒赢的钱比赌场的储备钱还要多的候，叫做“Breaking the bank” 当某人没钱了，也可以说“破产”了。
