生活英语：“乱花钱”用英语该怎么说？

     中国用“花钱如流水”这句话来形容一个人挥霍无度的样子，那么，“乱花钱”用英语该怎么说呢？今天要和大家分享的口语表达是：blow one's money，这里的blow可不是刮风的意思，而是to spend money freely（花钱无节制），所以不难理解blow one's money是乱花钱的意思。

     但是换个角度想，许欢欢老师觉得用blow这个单词简直太形象了！你看啊，我们常说花钱如流水，虽然blow没有流水的意思，但是blow给人感觉就是钱被风一吹，什么都没有了，岂不是比流水更快。

例句：

· Don't blow your money on something useless.

· 不要在没用的东西上乱花钱。

· Can you spot me some cash? I blew all my money last night.

· 你能借我点钱吗？我昨天晚上都给挥霍没了。

与blow one's money意思相同的表达还有spend money like water（挥金如土）和have money to burn（烧钱，胡乱花钱，挥霍）

例句：

· He spends money like water.

· 他挥金如土。

· I don't know what she does but she seems to have money to burn.

· 我不知道她做什么的, 但她看起来貌似挥金如土。
