[已解决问题] 请问“私房钱”怎么说？
最佳答案
egg money 或 pin money
在早些时候,有些女人的"私房钱"是瞒着男人的;有些女人的"私房钱"只为好玩。egg money是由农村妇女以卖鸡蛋留下的一点钱积攒而成。pin money是城里女人由丈夫每月所给的买grocery(吃用)的费用中省下来的。所谓pin money是因为在旧时候,妇女买菜时怕钱掉了,而用一个别针把钱别在裙子上,用时由该处取出,有多的就留在那儿作为私房钱,因此而得名。不过,时代在变,社会在发展,egg money或pin money已经不再是女人的专利,现在不少男士也存起了"私房钱"。既然是私房钱,就不想公开,可是有时就不是那么走运,那么看一看汤姆的遭遇吧。
Tom was an unlucky dog. His wife found all his pin money that would be used to buy a ten-speed bicycle. To his surprise, his wife didn't quarrel with him about the egg money at all.汤姆打算用来买十速自行车的所有私房钱都被妻子发现了,他可真不走运.可是令他感到惊讶的是,妻子竟然没有为此和他争吵。
