介绍:
Purse 钱包 The wallet is used by men; the purse by women. Yet,strangely, it is “purse”,not “wallet”, that is often connected with “money”. For example, you can say @make up a purse for the flood victims”; You cannot use “wallet ”instead. A poor person has a lean purse,a rich person has a fat one.“A beggar‘s purse is b bottomless.”Some people think the power of the purse is unlimited. It is not. Money does not always bring happiness. A rich person's family life may be very unhappy. So,as the saying goes, “A happy heart is better than a full purse.” 男士使用钱夹子wallet,女士使用小钱包purse,不过奇怪的是经常与钱联系的是purse,而不是wallet。例如你可以说,make up a purse for the flood victims,为水灾难民捐款,你却不能用wallet一词来代替。 穷人钱囊干瘪,富人荷包满胀。乞丐的口袋没有底填不满。有些人以为钱财的力量无穷,其实不是这样的,金钱并不一定带来幸福,有钱人的家庭生活也许非常不幸,因此正如谚语所说的:“内心快乐,远胜于钱袋充盈”。
