“穷”除了poor还可以怎么说?

发布时间:2015-12-30  编辑:查字典英语网小编

一提到“穷”,好多人首先想到的必定是poor。其实呢,就像老外形容“老人”时不用old、用senior一样,poor这个词他们也是不太常用的。那应该怎么用英语形容“穷”呢?一起来看。

Poor给人一种消极感,所以可以试试更为中性的struggling(艰难的)或disadvantaged(弱势群体的):

1. There are a lot of struggling families who need our help.

有很多艰难度日的家庭需要我们的帮助。

2. He lived his whole life as a struggling artist and didn't become famous until after his death.

作为艺术家,他一生贫困潦倒,直到死后才成名。

3. This scholarship supports disadvantaged youth who can't afford to pay for their education.

该奖学金用以资助那些负担不起学费的贫困年轻人。

4. A new educational program has been set up for economically disadvantaged children.

他们设立了一个新的面向贫困儿童的教育计划。

表示“没钱”还有很多口语化表达,比如美剧中常见的broke(破产了)等:

5. I can't afford to go on holiday this year - I'm flat broke.

今年我没法去度假了——我彻底没钱了。

6. Nobody loves you when you're down and out.

你穷困潦倒的时候没人喜欢你。

7. They're not badly off but they don't have much money to spare.

他们并不穷——只是闲钱不多而已。

8. We're a ​bit hard up at the ​moment so we're not ​thinking about ​holidays.

我们最近手头有点紧,所以不考虑度假了。
