Broke
Hi everyone -大家好, my name is Laura, 我是罗拉,and this is Sean我是欧尚。 And we are teachers with 微Talk; 我们是WeiTalk的英语老师。
Today, we’re going to learn a word that university students and artists use all the time. The word is “broke.”
[这一次,我们来学习一个大学生和艺术家们使用频率最高的词,那就是broke。]
The word “broke” is an adjective and can be used to describe a situation in which you don’t have any money at all, or to emphasize the fact that you don’t have enough money to buy or do something.
Broke是一个形容词,常用来形容身无分文、两袖清风,或者是你没有足够的钱去买某样东西做某件事的状态。
So, let’s try to use the word “broke” to make a few sentences!
Sentence 1: There was no rain this year, so many farmers went broke.(read twice)
[今年基本没怎么下雨,所以很多农民都没钱了。]
Sentence 2: I wanted to go watch a movie but I was too broke! (read twice)
[我本来想去看一个电影,但是钱不够。]
Sentence 3: I wanted to travel, but I’m pretty broke right now (read twice)
我本想去旅行,但是现在手头有点紧。]
And I think that’s about all we have for today. So tell us when’s the last time you were too broke to do something? Leave a comment below!Until next time, 下次再见!
