   【俚语】


  pinch pennies 精打细算
  注意:Pinch作为动词最普通的意思是用食指和拇指捏着,pennies是一分钱硬币,在美国钱币中价值最低,一百个pennies才值一美元,所以好多人对 pennies不屑一顾,甚至都不愿在口袋里带上pennies当零钱花,因为即使装满了一口袋也没多少钱。Pinch pennies从字面来看是紧紧捏着pennies不放,这样的人想必是守财奴了。
  【例句】
  1.We must pinch pennies to make ends meet.
  我们一定要精打细算,以求收支平衡。
  2.When Tom and Mary were saving money to buy a house, they had to pinch pennies. We made our last house payment today.
  汤姆和玛丽为了存款购房,不得不非常节我们今天付了我们购房的最后一期款项。
