先问一个问题:大家每天都离不开,辛苦得来、痛苦失去的东西是什么?其实这个问题应该有很多答案,但如果我说是"钱"的话,恐怕没有多少人会表示异议吧。说到钱,大家所熟悉的英语中的表达方式最常见的是"money"。"Money"是一个广义词,既可以指不定数目的钱,也可以表达一个概念。比如有"Money makes the mare go.(有钱能使鬼推磨。)"的谚语,但除了"money"之外还有哪些常用的表达方式呢?

4. note 纸币
He motioned to the notes stacked on the table.(他用手指指堆在桌上的钞票。)
5. banknote 钞票
With an one-million-pound banknote ready in hand, Henry was able to get whatever he wanted without paying cash.(由于亨利手中有一张百万英镑的钞票,因此他不必付现钱,要什么有什么。)
6. change 零钱
