(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

可以想象如果我们的衣服口袋里有一件东西发烫像要烧起来似的，那我们的第一反应肯定是要马上把它掏出来扔掉。表达“money burns¹ a hole in someone's pocket² 钱在某人的口袋里烧了一个洞”的意思是钱在某个人的口袋里留不住，此人一有钱就想花，存不了钱。它也可被用来形容一个人有了钱就想去花掉，不花掉心里不舒服。这个表达常出现在描述过度浪费或奢侈表现的语境中。

例句

I'm afraid money burns a hole in my pocket. As³ soon as I get paid⁴ I'm off⁵ down to the shops.

If money is burning⁶ a hole in your pocket, you could⁷ think about spending it on something useful⁸, like some new clothes, maybe, rather⁹ than more computer games.

I've got¹⁰ a new credit¹¹ card and it's burning a hole in pocket. Let's shop!

请注意

Pocket 是口袋、腰包的意思，它也可以被做为动词使用，意思是某人把什么东西放进自己的口袋或腰包里，多数情况下用来形容不诚实的表现。

例句

Did¹² you see that? He overcharged them for their meal¹³ and pocketed¹⁴ the difference¹⁵.

If a shopkeeper¹⁶ gave¹⁷ you too much change, would¹⁸ you pocket it or hand it back?
