剛開學不久,大家是不是已經想要賺錢養活自己呢?在英文,除了earn money跟earn a living之外,還有一個短句可以表達這個意思:make ends meet.
看看這個例句:Jane has to work really hard in order to make ends meet. 意思就是:Jane一定要非常努力工作才能夠賺錢養活自己。如果一個人捉襟見肘,要努力賺錢才能生活用這句形容就最貼切不過了。
For your reference, check out the definition in the dictionary: earn enough money to live without getting into debt.
