标题: 本周地道英语 Blow money 乱花钱
neil: hi helen, would you like to go shopping this afternoon? i&#39d like to blow some money!
helen: blow 平时的意思是吹，比如吹风, 吹气。但是在这里它又有另外一个意思就是花很多很多钱。

neil: yes, if you blow money you spend a lot of it. there&#39s also a sense of being wasteful.

helen: wasteful ╟ 浪费。 如果一个人 &#39blow money&#39 吹钱，其实也就是说他花钱太浪费。

neil: someone who is very extravagant might blow money.

helen: extravagant ╟ 奢侈。让我们听几个例子吧, neil.

example

a: my credit card bill is huge this month.

b: why’s that?

a: well i blew 120 pounds on that new dress. it’s lovely, but i don’t even know when i can wear it!

c: my sister never has any money, even though she’s got a good job. she usually blows about 100 quid every saturday on going out.
