(单词翻译:单击)

“唯利是图”,汉语成语,意思是“只贪图利益,不顾及其他(seek nothing but profits;care only for money)”, 唯表示“只(only)”, 图是“图谋(plot; conspire)”,含贬义。与英文俗语“on the make”意思相近,表示“Seeking wealth, success, or an improved social status, often ruthlessly or in a self-serving manner”。
 
例句:
 
他这个人一贯都是唯利是图, 我从来不知道他有什么无私的行动。
He's always on the make; I have never known him do a disinterested1 action.
 
他现在唯利是图,到处结交芝加哥的名流。
He's on the make everywhere and cultivates all the Chicago hotshots.
